character of it's people, 1t undoubtedly
can be left to the care of its local po-
lice, backed by the power of such gar
risons as the national government
shall maintain there. In Cuba andthe
Philippines different conditions pre-
vail. In both these territories there is
a considerable element of population
naturally lawless, and, beyond this,
there will be for years the tendency TO
brigandage that follows the close of
war. In Cuba there are the thousands
who were insurgents, accustomed for
many years now to a reckless, irregu-
lar life and the excitement of fighting.
In the Philippines, in the population,
5000, 900 in number, made up of various
native races, the Malays, who are in
the majority, are additionally given
to murderous impulse and piracy.
In the policing of the Philippines the
system of the British in India will
probably be followed-the employ
ment of native soldiers and police,
under the command of white officers,
with certain proportion of native
noncommissioned and subaltern of
ficers. From the character of the ma
tive people this presents new and diff
ficult problem of military organiza-
ton and discinpline, and it is likely
that years will pass and many changes
be made before the best system is ar
rived at. In Cuba with its Spanish
American population the situation
would probably best be met by the or
ganization of battalions of Cubans on
the system of the rurales or road
guards of Mexico.
No traveller upon the railways of
Mexico can fail to be impressed with
the spectacle of the line of cavalry
men that he sees drawn up at every
station where the train halts. In ma
tive Mexican costume Of high-crowned,
wide brimmed sombreros, leather
jackets and pantaloons, all heavy with
silver trimmings; with their daredevil
look and air of having bern born to
the saddle; with their fine horses
showing careful care and grooming,

at the same time a powerful military
clement to his support. He invited all
the bandit chiefs to conference and
there proposed that, instead Of rob-
bling, that they and their mer should
enlist as military body, which should
be charged with the Office of keeping
the roads of Mexico safe for travel.
The chiefs he promised should be the
officers, and they and their men should
continue to wear the ranchmana
dress, which they preferred to the reg
ular soldiers uniform. They accepted
his proposition, and the corps of ru-

The Road to Success.

You ought to be found at your place
of business every working day of the
year, as nearly as possible, and If you
succeed you will find something that
ought to be attended 20. You must
study to make every acre-yea, every
square rod-of land as productive as
you can. 1t will not pay to have one
half of the farm in paying crops and
the other half neglected and allowed
to grow noxious weeds, sprouts and
briars, or even half stand of grass.
Every acre should be made to bring
in its share Of profit.-Dakota Field

What the Word "GrOg" Came From.
The word "grog" has curious his
tory. 1t comes in roundabout way
from the French gros-grain, of which
our English "grosgram" is corrup-
ton, meaning stuff of coarse and
heavy texture. Bluff old Admiral YER
non, who commanded the English navy
just before our war of independence,
wore breeches made of this material,
and was nicknamed from that circum-
stance "Old Grog." He used to have
his men mix water with the rum that
was always served to English sailors
as part of their rations, and hence
any dram mixed with water came to
be called "grog," and the place where
such things are sold "groggery."--

JORBIN ON TnE CAMPS,
The Adjutant General Testifies Before
the War Board.
MILES AND CAMP ALGER,
Witness Says That He Understood
the Commanding General Had Some
Part In Choosing That Camp.
Defends War Department..

Washington, Dec. 23.-Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin appeared before the war in
vestigating commission and was rigidly
questioned regarding the selection Of
Camp Alger, Va. He testified that the
removal of Camp Alger was dictated
that it's original establishment was rec
commended by Captain Seaburn Of Gen.
eral Miles staff. He General Corbin)
had said at the time it could not be a
good camp ground because there was
not sufficient range for rifle practice.
He had understood from the secre-
tary of war that General Miles had
something to do with it's selection. He
was not certain of Captain Seaburn's
exact status, but he had understood
Captain Seaburn had been sent by Gen.
eral Miles to make the inspection Of
the camp site.
Ibid General Miles protest against or
do anything against the selection Of
the camp?" he was asked.

Camp Wikoff.
General Corbn added that he did not
know the reasons for discontinuance of
the camp. Questioned as to Camp Wi
koff, General Corbin said that the
troops and horses that arrived there
about Aug. were those left behind in
the south from the expeditions to San
tiago and Porto Rico and that the
transportation Of these had not, so far

as he knew, led to railroad congestion
or interfered in any way with the car
riage of supplies for the troops subse-
quently arriving.
He denied that the contract with the
Long Island railroad gave 1t exclusive
control and said the only restriction
made in that arrangement was the de-
sirable one Of prohibiting excursion
steamers landing at the camp. He said
one reason for it's selection was the ex-
cellent facilities for water transporta-
ton.
He said the camp at Tampa was new
er designed for anything but point Of
embarkation and said the first COM
plants he had heard from Camp Thom-
as, Chickamauga, were in the press.
Asked when he first seriously appre-
hended there would be hostilities, Gen.
eral Corbin said he might say he did
not seriously contemplate war until 1t
was fact, for he had hoped to the last
moment that 1t would be averted.
On April 10 the army, for one Of its
size, was we'll equipped and thoroughly
supplied. There never was an army, he
said, better equipped, better clothed,
better fed or with a better morale than
our regular army at that time. He said
prior to the war there had been no COM
plants of refrigerated or canned beet
and that they were used by the armies
of the world and in commerce. 1t was
no new experiment.
No General Preparations.
Seriously speaking" said General
Corbin, II do not think the war depart
ment contemplated war until it was de-
clared by congress and appropriations
were available. OF course the possibili-
ties were thought of, but there were
no general preparations except so far
as the department was able to meet the
possibilities that concerned it,"
Colonel Denby, who conducted the ex-
animation, here suggested to General
Corbin that he observed the latter was
cautious and reticent and explained:
1T is not our object to criticise STRAIT
egy. That is not our business. The
strategy Of the war may have been
right and may have been wrong. But
our object is to determine whether the
war department acted efficiently"
General Corbin said that when Gen.

THE tobacco craze is spread
ing in Texas and a large crop
Of the weed will be raised this
year. It should not be forgot
ten,. however, that it requires
some experience and consider
able care to- raise and cure a
marketable product. Another
thing which the farmers should
observe is that, while the price
of the finer gTades-chiefiY the
wrappers or such as is usually
inported--is very high, the
price of the commoner sorts OF
hurley tobacco is by no means
large. 4 little earelessness, or
neglect may lose a farmers en-
tire crop, or rhe production of
an inferior sort may bring him
no better return than a five
cent cotton crop. The tobacco
move is a good one, if directed
Alright, but the Texas farmer
who undertakes it should re-
solve to plant only the best and
TO- pay close attention to his
crop. It is said, by the way,
that the northern methods OF
curing the leaf will not succeed
IN this climate that the method
followed in Florida is the only
proper one for Texas. 1t would
be WE'LL for planters to be in
forming themselves on this
point, while their crop is grow
