Soldier Life at Chickamauga Park.

CAMP THOMAS, CHIcKAMAUeA PARK, I
GA, May "a, 1898.
1t seems hardly possible that it is over
week ago that Michigan troops started south
and that one of her regiments has been in
camp on this historic old battle field for
week already but such is fact, and Michi
gan has good reason to be proud of hei
representatives here, too 1t il a fact that
the 3lst Michigan volunteers Arrived in
camp better equipped and in better Shape in
every way than any other regiment on the
grounds. The general appearance ~ the
men, too, aside from the equipment is such
as 10 cause citizen of Michigan to be
proud of his State. 1t is fact, too. that
is already decidedly popular with the men,
although it is understood that his word Is
law, and not the kind of law we frequently
see either.
Those OF THE TIMES readers who have
visited Chattanooga and Chickamauga Park
will agree with me when l say there could
hardly be pleasanter place In which to
camp than this national park. At least this
seems to be true at the present time Of
ear. The whole park is of high attitude
and there Is nearly always breeze blow
ing even during the hottest part of the day,
so that to be comfortable at any time one
has but to get in the shade of one of the big
oaks, and rest. There is plenty of good
water for drinking purposes, too. Up to
the present time no mosquitoes have dis
covered the camp, and while there Is an
abundance of flies, like the mules and some
of the inhabitants about here, they are a
| little slow and have not yet found out that
Michigan men are good eating. No one is
daring to venture guess as to what they
will do later, but at present they are not
biting.
| said there Is plenty of water for drink
ing purposes. About the only draw back
to the camp so far as its location and the
ideas of the boys are concerned is that there
is not so plentiful supply for bathing pur-
poses. All of the little creeks are practical
ly dry, while the water of Chickamauga
Creek, which Is of pretty good size, and In
places some six or eight feet deep, is not as
clear as crystal. In fact one of the boys on
coming back from what was supposed to be
a swim and bath, declared that the water
was so thick that he had to stand on tip toe
and wiggle around In order to get into it far
enough to swim, and even then he cOuldn't
get his shoulders wet. Another who tried
to dive OIL from log across the stream,
came near having concussion of the brain,
the water was so thick and hard where he
struck. Still everybody makes the best OF
it and calls 1t good swimming.
One of the never ending sources of won.
der and amusement to northerner Is to be
found In the hundreds of mules about the
camp. Now it's simply useless to attempt
to be funny about mule. They're funny
enough all by themselves, any way. The
government really has some fine mules here,
and while in point of beauty they are not to
be compared with the horses about camp
any more than Jersey COW is to be com.

The Call To The Colors.
ARTHUR GUITERMAN.

"Are you ready, o Virginia.
Alabama. Tennessee
People OF the Southland, answer
For the land hath need of thee"
"Here" from sandy Rio Grande,
Where the Texan horsemen ride,
"Here !" the hunters of Kentucky
Hail from Chatterawha's side.
Every toler In the cotton,
Every rugged mountalneer,
Velvet voiced and iron.handed,
Lifts his head to answer, "Herer'
"Some remain who charged with Pickett,
Some survive who followed Lee;
They shall lead their sons to battle
For the flag If need there be-"
"Are you ready, California,
Arizona, Idaho?
Come, oh come unto the colorsr
Heard ye not the bugle blow?"
Falls hush in San Francisco
In the busy hives OF trade;
In the vineyards OF sonora
Fall the pruning knife and spade;
In the mines OF Colorado
Pick and drill are flung aside;
Idly in Seattle harbor -
Swing the merchants to the tide,
And million mighty voices
Throb responsive like q drum
Rolling from the rough Sierras,
"You have called u.s. and we come"
Ger Missouri sounds the challenge
Ger the great lakes and the plain;
"Are you ready, MinnesotaH
Are you ready men of Manner"
From the woods of Ontonagon,
From the farms OF Illinois,
From the looms of Massachusetts,;
"We are ready, man and boy
Axemen free OF Androscoggin.
Clerks who trudge the cities paves,
Gloucester men who drag their plunder
From the sullen, hungry waves,
Big boned Swede and large limbed German,
Celt and Saxon swell the call,
And the Adirondacks echo:
"We are ready one and all"
Truce to fued and peace to faction!
All forgot is party zeal
When the warsh'ps clear for action,
When the blue battalions wheel.
Europe boasts her standing armies
Serfs who blindly fight by trade;
We have seven million soldiers
And a soul guides every blade,
Laborers with arm and mattock,
Laborers with brain and pen,
Railroad prince and railroad brakeman
Build our line of fighting men.
Flag of righteous wars close mustered
Clean the bayonets, row on row,
When thy stars are sternly clustered
With their daggers toward the foe.

Something to Think About.

Denver Post.
On the Rio Grande river in the
southern part of the state is Del Norte,
one of the best towns of its size in the
state, which in the way of municipal
ownership of public utilities can give
O her towns pointer or two. Del
NOrte has its own water works, owned
aud operated by the city. 1t has also
its own electric light system; the plant
is owned and operated by the city and
will be entirely paid for in q short
time. Not only will there be no NOR.
municipal taxation in Del Norte, but
the income from the water works and
the electric light plant will suffice to
pay all public expenses and leave a
monthly surplus of $50 in the city treas
ury. Don't our Denver citizens fee
like hiring some one to kick them for
giving away franchises right and left
to private corporations and in the bar
gain compel the city to pay their debts,
as is the case OF the tramway COM
papy?
What the people here should OVID
and operate themselves for their OVID
use and benefit we have allowed others
to own and tax US for what we need
Does anyone think it would be such an
awful thing for the city to own its gas.
electric, water aud street car systems?
Would it not be better to save the
money to our citizens that now annual
ly goes east in the shape of interest on
watered stocks aud bonds? If there
had been no franchises to give away
there would have been no councilmen
bribed and if there were no gas and
water and street car corporations there
would be no one to bride the council
men and there would be no danger of
these corporations controlling the city
government. Del NOrte has taken b
warning by the example Denver has
given it. There is no corporation to
bride the council of Del Norte, there
fore no corrupt elements are striving
20 get into the council in order to be
br bed. We have to make a start here
% initiate the example set by Del
Norte. The first step in this direction
is to shut down on giving away public
franchises

Real OratOry. :"
Houston Post.

Within the past few weeks both sen.
stOrs and repre- sentatives in congress
have risen to the heights of real ora
tory. Perhaps the most notable
achievement in this line belongs to the
credit of Congressman Dolliver, OF
Iowa, who recently electrified the
house of represe natives by his brill
liant speech upon the present crisis
We quote only one paragraph. Said
Congressman DOlliver:
1--WE cannot and will not stop to cal.
culate in money recOmpense for our
noble ship that lies stranded, broken
and dismsntled in the most infamous
harbor OF all the seas. We will not
calculate with these for the value OF
the lives of our dead sailors. We will
not bstray our dead. But the nation
of America, laying down, as fopdly
believe and hope. every trace of parti-
san controversy and disseps on, in the
fear of God, counting all the cost, will
exact from Spain indemnity in full for
all the abuses of the past; not the spoil
of subjugated provinces, but the emau-
cipatiOu of an oppressed race; not the
ransom of besieged cities, but the crea-
ton of a new commonwealth; not the
coinage, of bankrupt treasury, but
the nobler satisfaction of helping to
raise the flag of free nation, once
dishonored, outlawed and despised, now
clothed with beauty and with victory,
and destined to stand guard forever in
tender gratitude above our unforgotten
heroes of the Maine"
Without the least suggestion of
jingoism or sentimentality the forego-
ing paragraph is full of dignifed
strength aud eloquence. We congra-
tulate Congressman Dolliver upon the
happy effect of his speech.
