The passage of the Sixth Massachu-
sets regiment through Baltimore n
1851 is historic. The hostility shown
toward it was unboundei. When the
Sixth Massachusetts regiment went
through the same city recently, it was
received with unmessured hospitality.
The city was gayfy dressed, and The
streets were lined with people anxious
to make their welcome as warm as the
hostility was thirty-Seven wears ago.
The men were peited with roses IN
stead of paving stones, with sweet
words OF fraternity instead Of rite
shots. Not from the citizens Of their
own state did the volunteers receive
so great an ovation. This typi,ies the
new epoch, exclaims the New York
Independent. The Old war is forever
closed, the North ami South are one;
Baltimore and Boston are not apart in
feeling and sympathy Our glorious
country is Thoroughly uuiteL The
new war is a demonstration OF that

Spanish Ship Captured With ooo

Troops Aboard.
According to private letters from
Cavite, dated June 81, the insurgents
occupy the whole of Bulucan province.
Occasional skirmishes occur. The in
surgents captured the Spanish ship
Behul, in Kayabao Bay, while she was
landing 500 troops. A stubborn fight
ensued, in which the Spanish COM
mander, a lieutenant colonel, was
killed. The insurgents have captured
the Governor OF Bulucan, together with
his wife and children.
General Aguinaldo placed under ar
rest the rebel leaders Artachio and
Sandico, for having revealed the fact
that the steamer Pasig, recently seized
by the Hong Kong authorities, was Ia
den with arms for the insurgents. San
dico applied to Consul Williams, aud
was liberated. He is now on board the
Nanshan. 1t is feared that the Incl
dent will cause O split in the insurgent
party, Sandico being influential, and
the only insurgent capable of admins
tration.
The insurgents fear that Gen. Agui-
RADIO will shoot Artachio unless Admiral
Dewey interferes, as he is suspicious
that Sandico and Artachio intended to
form an opposition party.

THE FEDERAL BRIGADE

Mr.. Gaze IL the unhappy recipient OF
another slap In his face by his party.
The platform adopted by the Republican
county convention "deprecates' the per-
nicious activity of the federal brigade in
politics.
II is not quite a month since the Los
Angeles and the San Francisco contln-
cents of the federal brigade organiza-
ton were giving all Of their time and
lending all the force of their omcial po-
sit,on.. not to mention their political
acumen. to the candidacy OF the gen.
tpaman who was nominated for gov
ernor by the Republican state conven-
ton.
At that time The Herald entered pro-
test against the plain violation OF the
sn;rit of our laws and of our institutions,
and "deprecated" as "demoralizing TO
the public service. and as unjust to the
taxpavers. who support the government,
the growing tendency of public omciais
and their deputies to become active par
tisans while in office, and to spend their
time, that belongs W ING PuoiiN' Va "iA
parties, in political work and political
management"
The Herald is pleased to note that the
Republican county convention has ad-
minstered a just rehuke TO these public
officials. But what will Mr.. Gage say
in defense of himself for counting and
receiving the assistance of Uncle Sans
hired men, whose conduct in playing
notifies for him should be treated as
a violation of official duty to serve
faithfully the whole people irrespective
of party?" And what do the members
Of the Republican county convention
think of Mr.. Gage for rewardtng these
same official politicians with choice
political appointments and making them
the managers Of his campaign?
| The platform adopted by the Repub-
lican county convention lays down a
sound fundamental rule of conduct, but
| II was not intended to be followed by
the members of the Republican party.
Republican platforms, as everybody
| knows, are vote traps. They are not
rules to be enforced or talked about,
except when the erring official is a
Democrat. Mr.. Gage knows this also.
