His reply was: 1T don't know. but I hope so" This shows the feelings of our officers and how they are trying to keep our regiment rom letting the public know the regiment is to be muster ed out.
 Our officers are no worse than most others and this is written not to injure the officers, but to show what treatment our men are receiv- ing at the hands of our officers whom they have honored with their positions.

The Speaking

# The speaking at the court honse E ess attended by about 800 people, 4 unite and colored. After the con
 eusion of the Bell wn~d meetings
 the audience was swelled to over 4 1OOO. A Little Rock band furnished mnsic for the occasion.
 Mir. W. E. Alexander presided at inc meeting. Judge I. M. Elliott vas the star attraction of the even ing and was given respee tful hear ig. Not so, however, with Mr. W. B5Sorrells, the next speaker, who
 was given "a rough house, and was
 Interrupted so often that he could be
 heard with great difficulty. Judge
 Jones was the next speaker, who,
 though often interrupted, kept the
 good will of his audience by telling
 Jokes and by drawing copiously
 from Bob Taylor's Tales and Lee
 lures. The next speaker introduced
 was Mir. Creed Caldwell, but the aud
 fence laughted and booted and the
 Hon. Creed did not feel much like speaking in such a forlorn cause any how, and quit the platform. Then Col. Edwin kerwin, of thunderous tones, dramatic attitude and curly Hair like unto that which adorns the head of q tegii islander, sought to entertain q restless and impati- ent audience The burden of his song was that the editor of the Graphic is the brother-in-law of Edgar Brewster. and that Sam Taylor is the brother-in-law of n. c. Bell, and therefore Mccoy ought to be elected Tho Col showed that with n fe" In,5., eais eI practice be- lore the Pine Bluff Oratorical Asso- clation, and with.a decade or two of and study he might say that would interest some body, and out of gratitude for the free advertisement he gave the Graphic, we are pleased to introduce him to fame.
 MT. Garland Street. was thenIintro- duced and in a few moments was without an audience, 1t had follow ed Gen. White to the corner of Main and Second. What Mr. Streett said was sweetness wasted on the 1esert air. ;
 The Mccoy speech making was by II. R. C. Foster, of fame, who after a few lenunciatory remarks took his seat and the "band played on,' and started on its march to break up the at Main and Second, where It came to a sudden and unexpected stop, as above described.

CHILD KIDNAPPED.
Mother, Steals Her Child From Its Grandmother--A Suit the
 Result.

Sophia Mitchell. an old colored woman, about four years ago took from her daughter, Jane Goldsmith. by name, her little dauh hter, May, who was at that time about three years of age and who Sophia thought Jane was not capable of raising.
 A few days ago, May was taken from her home and nothing was learned of her whereabouts until Jane Goldsmith, the mother of May, was found to be in possession of the girl at Morrillton, Ark.
 She had come to this city and had stolen the child from il grand mothers home.
 Deputy Sheriff Robt. Johnson was sent to that place and returned Sat- urdav accompanied by Jane and the stolen daughter. The child was re- stored to it's grandmother and Jane sued for the child's possession.
 The case came up before Justice Vance Saturday and after hearing all the evidence obtainable, gave Jane the child and she returned to her home in Plummerville with her.
 A bit of excitement was caused on Main street Saturday afternoon by Sophia the grandmother when a pathetic scene was enacted by the weeping of the child and the grand mother at. the parting hour.

IOhn P. GAvIt In The Commons.

John p GAvit In The Commons.
How, then, shall be defined this labor
movement, Of which we are hearing so
much in these days Of crisis and social
tension? For upon our definition must
depend our attitude toward this, as to-
ward any other movement claiming our
attention.
Is 1t not, after all, the more or less
conscious and concerted effort upon the
part OF the less favored OF the workers
among men to secure the recognition
Of an ethical rather than force-stand-
ard in human relations; to induce or
compel the strong to concede the rights
OF the weak; to declare for man as much
more precious than things, people than
property? Professor Ely calls 1t "The
effort Of men to live the life Of men"
Professor Taylor defines 1t as Nothing
less than the more or less concerted
movement of the majorities OF the
worlds workers for the recognition Of
human rights and personal values in the
working world"
am convinced that the labor move
ment Is the great religious movement
Va AAesAhAAA NOWdlu lIO hluBNOuAs w udh
can be more religious than the effort Of
humanity to secure for it's individuals
the highest and best that can be gained
by them? let 1t be admitted that 1t is
reducible by the philosopher of pessi-
mism to merely the sum of the efforts
Of individuals to get more things-then
shall retort that so is the history of
Of religion merely the sum Of the ef-
forts of men to get their souls saved
and into heaven!
1t is the Spirit Of God, pleading with
men, however unperceived by them, to
estimate themselves-the least and last
and lowest of them-as more than draft
oxen, more than mules, more than the
machines at which they weave the fab
ric, which, be it ever so fine, cannot
save the soul Of the weaver from de-
struction.
"Let there be worse cotton" says
Emerson, land better men,"
The Almighty never created the black
man." cried Charming, "in order that
sugar or cotton might be sold cent a
pound cheaper!"
Thus far, civilization has been built
up at the expense Of the tOiling masses
of man. Labor-saving machinery has
saved everything except the laboror.

POPULARITY OF THE ADVOCATE AND
NEWS STANDARD WAR ATLAS.

The new Standard War Atlas which the
Advocate and News is furnishing to It's
readers is going with a rush" There is @
dramatic interest in watching the events OF
the war when you can turn to the large
clear map OF Cuba, contained In this atlas,
and put your finger on the spot where our
army is encamping, or locate the position
Of our fleet before the harbor OF Santiago
de Cuba. You can not read your paper In
telligently without an atlas.
Appreclating the great usefulness Of ac-
curate and clear maps In studying the va
rious phases OF the war, the Advocate and
News has arranged with Rand, Mentally
Il Co., Of Chicago, for the publication OF
the publication of the new Advocate and
News Standard War Atlas. The Atlas con-
tains sixteen pages Of the latest and best
maps published, comprising four double.
page maps (21x28 inches) OF the World,
North America, Europe, and Oceanla, and
seven full page maps Q4x2l inches) of Cuba,
the West Indies, South America, China,
Spain and Portugal, Asia, Africa, and the
Philippine and Hawaiian Islands. En-
larged sections show ports Matanzas, San
tiago de Cuba, San Juan, and ClenfugOs:
are beautifully printed on heavy map
paper, and bound in an attractive paper
cover.
This Atlas should not be confounded with
the numerous cheap aliases sold at the
stores. 1t is entirely new, and can be OBJ
talned only from the Advocate and News.
Every reader Is recommended to procure
one at once, and thus be able to watch the
strategic movements OF our army and navy
from the vantage point Of knowledge.
BY our special arrangement we are able
to send this Atlas to any address, post
paid, for 40 cents. Address the Advocate
and News, Topeka, Kas.

A DO-SOmethlng Policy Will Mean a
Triumph for Honesty In Kan
Sas This Fall.
JOHN w. CREDENTIALS IDEA.

In an interview after his return from
the national committee meeting at
Omaha, John w. Breidenthal said:
Kansas did remarkable things while
was away. The whole complexion Of
the situation has been changed. We will
win now. We can't be beaten. Our tri-
umph in November will be triumph
for honesty of conviction. The reform
forces not only said things but did
things. Every gun Of the opposition has
been spiked, every gun Of the opposition
in our own party has been spiked. The
conventions opened the doors for every
person to enter and feel at home.
"The most remarkable Of all things
done was what was done by the Demo-
Gratis at Atchison. 1t showed that they
are absolutely honest in the sacrifice
they made in the interest of all the peO-
pie. What they did was more than re-
markable-it was astonishing. Nothing
like it has been witnessed in the his
tory Of politics in this State. No one
can even feel now that he has a kick
Of any kind.
"The action of the party saved the
day for us at Omaha. received tele-
gram showing what kind of platform
had been adopted in Kansas, and 1t
was the first thing to cause an outburst
of applause In the convention. One man
from Kentucky asked me If it was posi-
BILE that fusion convention could adopt
such a platform, and l said to him that
Kansas always leads and never follows.
| told him that Kansas was the father
and mother of progressive ideas. was
called to the stage to say something
more on the subject. told them that
every Democrat in the Legislature Of
Kansas stood manfully for the prin-
ciple of the referendum They could
hardly believe me. From that moment
the temper of the middle-of-the readers
was softened. 1t was great day In
Topeka, in Atchison and in Omaha for
reform principles In politics. 1t will
always be glorious day in the calendar
Of the reform elements"
