THEY MAY SUIT THEMSELVES
Volunteers Who Wish 1t Will
Be Mustered Out.
PRESIDENT HAS so DECIDED

All Bran chss of the Service Included In
the Hundred Thousand to
BE Discharged.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. The presi.
dent has announced his decision to
muster out of the service from $4,000
to 100, 900 of the volunteers. Those to
be discharged will include three
branches of the service, infantry, artil.
lery and cavalry.
The question of the mastering out OF
volunteers has been under considera.
ton for several days. 1t was quite
evident to begin with that consider.
able force necessarily would have to be
retained.
With only part of the volunteer
force to be mustered out 1t became a
delicate question to designate the or.
ganizations which should go. From q
member of the administration it is
understood to be the desire of the
president to ascertain the
Wishes OF the Volunteers Themselves
to remaining in the service. One or
two organizations have already ex.
pressed a desire to leave the service as
soon as the government can dispense
with their services. They are com.
posed largely of business and profes.
sional men whose private business is
largely suffering from their absence.
So it is understood the president in
mastering out the volunteers will ac-
commodate himself to the desire OF the
men themselves. Within certain oh.
vious lines those troops who want to be
mustered out will be and those who de.
sire to continue in the service will be
retained as far as possible.
The regular army will not be dis
turbed for the present, but the reduc.
ton In tho volunteer force will be
made as rapidly ~ possible,

ton of the devil by his directing our gifts
iii the wrong direction. This accounts
for our failure i'll many instances. The
church has been sde-tracked in the
question of giving. This serves the devil
as well as for the church not to give.
The mission of the church is to carry
the gospel to the ends of the earth Many
of the gifts of the present are to add
vance the cause of the devil. Gifts for
education so used. United States the gar
den spot of the world, but because we
give church all we leave the
devil to support the institutions

the earth have had to struggle for it
while the institutions in which they are
educated are prodigal with their means.

OOO, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, all with
great endowments. but this is used to
fill the minds of their students with
mere stuff. Scepticism instead of pre-
pairing them for the gospel. Much of ed
ucatlon is mere education of the head

THE BEGINNING or THE END.

The news from Madrid of the crushing
defeat of the Spanish fleet at Manila
ought TO put an end to the bravado and
boasting that blind leaders Of the blind
have been indulging in at Madrid. 1T
ought also to silence those Americans
who have been undertaking the efficiency
of the American navy.
There has never been room to doubt
that an encounter between the Spanish
and American navy would result in the
humiliation of the Spanish navy. The
first encounter ought to cause Spain to
surrender before inviting irretrieyable
ruin.
The victory at Manila news of
which comes from Spanish sources, is but
the beginning of the end. The victory
is assured. The sooner it is made com
plete and Cuba made free, the better it
will be for all concerned. Sharp and de-
cisive is the word.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS TODAY.

City elections will be held to-day in
Asheville, Winston, Henderson and many
other important towns. There is not
much of a contest except in Asheyille
and in Winston. In Winston the Re
publicans now control the city govern
ment and in Asheville the Democratic
mayor was chosen last year by thirty
five majority. In the general election
in November, the Republicans carried
Asheville by more than two hundred ma
jority.
With the big negro vote in both cities,
the odds are in favor of the Republicans
in both cities. but they are badly scared.
The situation in Asheyille is thus
summed up by the Asheville Citizen:
There are over 1000 negro voters
registered in Asheville, and every man
of them is counted a supporter of the
Citizens ticket The total number of
votes cast for that ticket on Monday will
not exceed 400. These facts make per-
tinent the question: What citizens does
this Citizens ticket represent?
