UNIFORM FOR THE VOLUNTEERS
General Miles Suggestion for the
Army of Cibz IN Soldiers.

General Miles Suggestion for the
Army of Citizen Soldiers.
The material is a grayish-broWn
duck, the facings to be according to
the arm of the service-red for artil-
lery, yellow for cavalry and blue for
infantry. The hat is of gray felt,
with band, cockade and pompon of
the same color as the facings. The
boots of artillery and cavalry will be
russell color, while it is yet undecided
whether the infantry will wear
shortish breaches and leggings or
breeches broad in the main and but
toned tight at the ankles. The
chevrons of the non-commissioned
officers will be the same color as
their facings, and will be surmounted
with the arms of the United States
a spread eagle over the shield. All
the details of the uni form have been
absolutely settled. The general idea
appears to have been borro wed from
the fatigue uniform worn by the
British troops in India, substituting
the SLOUGH hat OF the Daniel B Done
period for the helmet of the British
troops.

WE are not laundering for a dc
nominational controversy, but we
are tempted to enquire, if it is the
proper thing to observe Saturday as
the Sabbath and to pursue ordinary
avocations on Sunday, why would it
not be proper to discard the new
dispensation entirely, observing cir
cumcision, instead Of baptism; the
passover, instead of communion; the
old law of an eye for an eye and a
tooth for tooth, instead of the new
commandment, Glove We one an
other" As we see it, all these
changes are based upon the life and
the divinity of Him who taught that
old things have passed away and
that all things have become new, but
if one feature OF the new Gispensa-
tion-that which concentrates the
resurrection of the Great Atonement
may be cast aside, why not any or
all the other features, as may suit
the convenience or caprice of the
individual?

TIE Pope's plan to have Spain
cede Cuba to him for the purpose of
transferring it to the United States
would be acceptable to this country
but SO far as Spain is concerned it
would be distinction without a
difference and it is hardly to be
thought that she is in a humor for
such hair splitting policy. Free
Cuba is what the United States
desires and demands and is going to
accomplish and we presume it makes
no very material difference whether
the concession comes via Rome or
Madrid. If it comes without war so
much better. But that it must come
through fire and blood Is now almost
q certainty.

CITY AFFAIRS.

Evidently, the Union Republican
was afflicted with double vision
when, in it's last issue, it sought to
blow the horn of the present city
administration and place it among
the Napoleon's of finance. 1t says
they haye paid off floating debt of
$1,000 and $4,000 on the debt for
the municipal lot and straightway
says (Which makes in their favor a
saving to the city, in two years. OF
nearly $25 ,OOO" From $12,7O0 to
$4,000 is big jump and such a
conclusion is not warranted by the
Republicans premises. Even if the
administration has paid the $12, 700,
as claimed, this is only about half
the sum attributed to it by the
Republican. So, unless there was a
purpose to mislead, it is evident that
the Board is credited for each of the
two years with what was paid the
whole OF the two years.
In paying the $4,000 on the
municipal lot debt. the Board did
only what each of it's predecessors
has done since the debt was created
viz, met the terms of the debt by
paying on it $1,000 year and in
| terest.
The Republican fails to note the
| fact that there was turned over to
the present Board by it's Democratic
predecessor the sum of $9,O4S to
meet the interest on the bonded debt
of the city, and fails to state the
amount now on hand for that pur-
pose, satisfying itself with the broad
statement that there is money in the
treasury to meet the interest. How
much money is there in the treasury
is the question the taxpayers would
prefer to have set forth.
The Republican is frank enough to
confess that the present Board has
paid 81, 900 year more for salaries
| than was necessary.
That paper attempts to compli-
ment the police force and says there
is less business in the Mayors Court
than ever before, when it is patent to
every observer that there is much
business that fails to reach the
Mayors Court because of the in
eff :iency Of the police force. A
criminal must be caught before he
| finds his way to court and it Is
notorious that the present police
is OF the non-catching variety
This, indeed, is one of the strong
reasons for demanding a change Of
administration. A police force is
needed that will give a sense o.
security to the law-abiding citizens
and to the property owners.
| The remedy for existing evils is the
election of the ticket nominated at
| the Democratic primaries.

"Pope Leo's Efforts for peace are

SENIOR Polo packed his grip, called
his dogs and departed in peace to
Canada. Woodford was annoyed
and seriously threatened during his
exit from Spain. These incidents
serve as types of the two countries
that are now at war. Considering
the revengeful and treacherous char
acter of the Spaniards it will not do
to handle them too gently when the
hostilities are fairly on. Remember
the Maine and remember the long
record of cruelty and oppression of
the Spanish nation and give it to
them hot and heavy when it is
demonstrated that nothing else will
bring them to taw.

Horsewhipped.

A Davie County Man Named Parker
Horsewhipped.
A man by the name of Parker, who
lives in Davie county, claims that he
was horsewhipped few nights ago by
a fellow named Smith. assisted by the
lattef's son and nephew. Pa ker's
story is to the effect that the men
came to his house late in the night
while he was in bed and demanded ad,
mittance. This being refused they
took rail and broke down the door.
One of them grabbed his head and one
his legs, and carried him out Of the
house and gave him an unmerciful
beating and left him for dead. He
tainted while they were beating him.
The Times says Parker was in Mocks-
vile this week and several people
saw the lashes on his legs. The
wounds had the appearance Of being
cut with knife more so than with a
whip. He got out warrant for the
arrest Of the three men but they haYe
not been arrested.
The men VINO did the whipping
charge Parker with reporting the men
for blockading.
