A REGULAR PICNIC.
A war dispatch reads as folloy

A war dispatch reads as follows:
Corporal HuCht of Company d.
Seventh United States Infantry, who
with seven men were sent out on out
post duty two miles from Santiago
yesterday morning and was forgotten
until this afternoon, was found by
General Shafter and sent into camp.
The men considered tie whole affair a
good joke. They had repeatedly
seer the Spaniards who did not offer
to modest them and the Americans
spent the day as if ENJOYING a picnic
in the woods, The Corporal said that
if he had had with him sufficient
force he could have brought in forty
Spanish prisoners. Several pacificos
brought in by the American outpOSts
profess to know little Of what Is
transpiring IN Santiago.
The camp conditions continue hard.
Heavy rains yesterday set everything
afoat. Rations, however, are being
served more regularly, but they are
still not plentiful Officers and men
fair alike. The latter are suffering
during the cold nights from lack OF
blankets thrown away on the march.
These have been appropriated by the
Cubans, who take everything il
sight and do as little as possible. o.
the whole they actually fare better
than our men.

A little while ago the F1es

A little while ago the Fresno Re-
publican fired a lot of Latin at an I'M
offending public, and now it has
a learned editorial in which it talks
about the in which "our
friends across the Atlantic perform
their manducat,ons." Just imagine
a gang of sand-lappers being asked
by the cook to come to their midday
manducations of Arizona strawber-
dies and sowbelly." And, by the
way, if the youthful college g1adu-
ate whom we suspect is thus trying
to air his Learning, were fed or those
viands for awhile, he would get g
little good California horse sense into
the stomach and brains of him and
learn to talk and write United States
En-
cicle.

manifest a great interest in the Silver

none of the ticket seems to stick. 1t
ought to strike these people after a
while that possibly the Silver forces
OF Nevada may wish some time be-
fore the fall sets in to nominate their
own ticket. AT least things are apt
to turn out that way. When the

the Republican papers who are not
satisfied with it a easily quiet their
readers by disavowing any connection

A WAY TO PREVENT WARS.

War will always threaten the civil
1ized nations of the earth until an alli-
ance is formed composed of all the
great powers: the United States, Eng
land, Germany, France and Russia,
which shall act as a court of final ap-
peal whenever a dispute arises between
nations. While these five nations may
not act as the tribunal to settle inter
national disputes, it could enforce any
decree which a court of arbitration
should make. Suppose that any nation
instead of going to war should propose
a court of arbitration to consist of one
representative of her own choosing, one
of her adversary's choosing, these two
to select a third. The decision of these
three arbitration commissioners could
be enforced by the alliance of the five
great powers, without war.
1t would seem that the world were
Intelligent enough by this time to settle
ats disputes without bloodshed.

THE WICKED SLOT MACHINE

The slot machine which refuses to
weigh you after you have confided your
penny or nickel to it's keeping has been
justly punished. The confidence man
and the confidence woman who obtain
your money under false pretences have
felt the iron arm of the law, but the
confidence slot machine has gone on its
devastating and immoral course, after
the advice of that popular song do.
Do, My Huckleberry Do,'' until it has
met merited retribution- A young man
in Chicago, after dropping five pennies
one after another into a slot weighing
machine which continued to stare him
IN the face with ilI-concealed contempt
without so much as offering him a re-
turn for his money, snote the machine
with his fist and shattered it's CLASSY
countenance. The young man was ar
rested, but the judge released him, his
anger being considered entirely justifi-
able. The arrogance and dishonesty
of the slot weighing machine has re-
ceived timely check.

BLACK GUARDS FOLLOWERS
New York Governor Signs Bill En-
forcing Civil Service Rules.

New York, April 4.-Governor Black
with the aid of the Civil Service Re-
form association-has blocked the GUST
ing of followers in city departments.
He has signed a bill compelling the New
York civil service commissioners to
submit the new rules, promulgated
about a month ago, to the state board
for approval, and the measure was
made retroactive. 1t also prohibits the
removal of any employe under the
classified service without a hearing.
This affects the nine tax department
deputies who had been asked for their
designations.
When President Charles Knox of the
local civil service board heard of the
action of the governor, he was greatly
surprised.
1.-The whole affair is smart legisla-
tive trick said Mr.. Knox, "butG it will
cause vast trouble and annoyance to
the present city administration All
appointments made in the offices of the
comptroller and commissioner of &C
counts under the new rules, will be void
All changes made because of different
claSSificatiOnS are nullified.
