Roosevelt Talks to His Mon,

AT religious services at Camp Wikoff
on Sunday, Colonel Roosevelt said:
Before we part trust to have another
chance to talk to you, 80 Wen just call
this preliminary farewell. 1t is hard
to cay even that much TO you after
what we've been through together.
We are knit loser together than any
body of men 1 know, and only death
can sever the ties that were bound
tight when we faced death together.
Some people are inclined to pity us for
hardships we have undergone. We
don't want anybody's pity. Since
Gausimas we are willing to take any,
thing that comes our WY without COM
plant. You remember, boys, the reg
ulars wanted 10 relieve us there in the
trenches, but we said: "No, we're
here and we are going to stay here"
I'd honestly rather have my position
as colonel Of this regiment than any
other position on earth. (Cheers.)
There were some people in my tent
to-day, and one of them said, "You
must have been awfuly bold to go
right up that hill in front of your reg:-
ment." said, "That wasn't it exact
ly." Now, beg the chaplain's par
don (Chal lain Brown nodded), for
said, II had to run like hell chaplain
Brown looked startled) to stay in front
and keep from being run over"
chaplain Brown grinned apprecia-
lively and the congregation yelled)
There's no harm in that l hope, and
we all know our chaplain, and there
isn't Drawer man in the regiment.
He was right there on the fighting line
tending to the wounded, and when we
went up that hill l caught him with a
carbine in his hands. (Cheers.) We
can count him in our permanent organ
ization, for we're going to have per.
manent organization to hand down to
our children and cbildreh's childre n.
The men who stayed at Tampa will be
in it, too. They deserve as much cred.
it as the rest of US.
Now, here's thing l want 10 warn
you against: Don't get gay and pose as
heroes. Don't go back and lie on your
laur'ls, they'll wither. The world will
be kind 10 you for about ten days and
tt en- it will say: "He's spoiled by the
fame of the regiment in Cuba" Don't
think you've got to have the best OF
everything, and don't consider your.
self as martyrs in the past tense. A

The Color Boy and the Flag.

When President Mckinley was Ma
jor Mckinley he once made an address
in which he deserted the d ference
between the American volunteer and
the soldier of other nations. The men
who were his comrades in the civil
war, he said, not only fought, but
thought. To illustrate this he related
an anecdOte about a young soldier in
some northern regiment whose duty it
was to carry the regimental flag. On
the march the boy ran on ahead with
the flag streaming in the air. The
colonel was incensed. "Herer" he
cried. "Bring that flag back to the
regiment" The boy turned and re-
piled: saw, you bring your regiment
up to the fagr'
Now the colont was placed in del:-
cate position. If he enforced disci-
pine he would seem to be sighting the
flag. If he did not he would make
himself out to be obeylng the orders of
private. He had his choice and he
obeyed orders. l have often thought
what would the regiment have done
had the CT lionel persists in his order
to the boy? l do not believe there had
been any grave detection, but 1 am con.
WINGED that the flag would never have
been brought back, colonel or no co.

Domestic.

THOMAS H. WHEELER, son of Gen. JOS phi
Wheeler and Second Lieutenant Newton
ID. Kirkpatrick Of the First cavalry were
drowned at Montauk Point while bathing
last Wednesday afternoon. The surf where
the drowning occurred is very rough and is
the place where two of the Rough Riders
nearly lost their lives. No one saw the
drowning. The clothes Of the young men
were found near Gen. Wheeler's tent.
THE approximate cost of the war to the
United States has been: expenditures for
the army S78 10000; expenditures for the
navy, $33 100000; total, $114, 500,0 900. Lives
33; men killed in battle 231 officers and
men wounded, about 1850; officers and
men killed by disease, estimated 1900.

A Massachusetts, Seaman.

"What do you men think about our
great sea captains?" asked first
class seaman on board the Massachu-
sets.

Schley," he replied. eff it hadn't

all think Schley is the crackajack of

"What do you think of Dewey"
"We don't know so much about him,
because we haven't fought under him,
but they say he's a wonder"
"Who is the crack gunner in the
navy?'
"They've got man on the Texas
who can kill mosquito at four miles
with twelve inch gun. AT half a
mile he can knock the spots out of a

LincOln's FOndness for Grant.

An amusing and possibly instructive
an6 cdote, in which Line Ia and Grant
figure, and showing the latter's esti-
mate of cavi Try, is related by William
o. Stoddard, for some time one of the
formers private secretaries. The
general had not long been in command
of the Army of the Potomac, when one
day Mr.. Sic ddard asked Lincoln's
opinion of him. "Grant," replied the
president, "is the first general I've
had. He's a general" Remember
ing the high esteem in which McClel-
Ian, Burnside, Hooker and Meade had
been held, Mr.. Stoddard asked Lin
coin to explain, and this is what he
said:-
"You see, when any of the rest set
out on campaign they'd look over
matters and pick out some one thing
they were short of and they knew l
couldn't give 'em, and tell me they
couldn't hope to win unless they had il !;
and it was most generally cavalry.
Now, when Grant took hold l was
waiting to see what his pet impossib l.
ity would be, and l leckoned it would
be cavalry, as a matter of course, for
he hadn't horses enough 10 mount
even what men we had. There were
fifteen thousand or Whereabouts up near
Harper's Ferry, and no horses to put
them on. Well, the other day, just as
l expected, Grant sent to me about
those very men; but what he wanted
to know was whether he could disband
'em or turn 'em into infantry He
doesn't ask me to do impossibilities
for him, and he's the first general I've
had that didn't.

CONVENTION Or PRIMARY ELEC-
TON.

The method Of nominating the
county officers is Of no concern 10 US
except in so far as it affects the
ticket. It is claimed, and we think
Justly, that primary exhausts the
energies Of the party before the real
battle, making it vulnerable TO the
enemy. That a minority candidate
is almost invariably nominated.
That bitter feelings and animosities
are engendered which endanger the
cause at the polls. That it Is next
to impossible 10 formulate rules
whereby those not entitled to vote
are excluded. 1t has been charged
that parties not entitled to that
privilege have voted in democratic
primaries in order to nominate the
weakest candidates. That under
the primary system it is impossible
to make an equitable distribution of
the ticket to the different portions
Of the county. That the only time
the democratic party in the county
was ever defeated was when the
ticket was nominated by a primary
election. That at that primary, it is
pointed out, that in one township
more votes were cast for a certain
candidate than he received in the
general election. although each of
his two opponents received a sub
stantial vote. That the larger town.
ships have a decided advantage over
their smaller neighbours and the ma
jority of the offices would fall to
those townships,
On the other hand the principal
objections urged against the conven.
ton system is that it is easier
of manipulation by designing politi-
clans That delegates are apt to
look to their own future instead of
the wishes of the people. That
rings, combinations, etc, control.
Our own opinion is that the objec.
lions to the latter system is easier
overcome, by the democrats taking
an active interest in seeing that
none but their best men, in whom
they have confidence, represent
hem as delegates.
