Dog Tases In Germany.

Dog taxes are giving trouble 10 Ger
man military men. The Herzog Karl
OF Mecklenbarg-strelltz infantry regi-
ment No. 40 enjoys the distinction of
being the only regiment in the Ger
man army whose bass drum is drawn
In little cart by dogs. It won the
honor by It's gallantry in the war Of
1866 against Austria. when It captured
the bass drum and cart Of an Austrian
regiment II refused to pay tax on
the dogs at Konigsberg on the ground
that they were useful and not a lux
ury. but was compelled to pay, as the
law gives full power to tax oil dogs to
the local authorities,

The Rio Colorado, between Arizona
and California, Is even worse stream
for changing It's course. During the
freshets in June, July and August the
Colorado was navigated in the early
days by stern-wheeler from Yuma to
the mouth of the Grand canyon. To-
ward the end of the high water an
army paymaster and his escort UNDER
took one year TO make the trip from
Yuma to Fort Mohave. The water was
falling quite rapidly and they had
many days and nights Of worry and
toll in getting over sand bars. Fin
ally they stuck fast. and the efforts Of
soldiers and boatmen could not release
the boat. Night coming on, worn out
and weary, they decided to rest until
morning and then take new start.
They awolie in the morning on what
resembled a part OF q dry, sandy Colo
RADIO desert. Not a drop OF water was
In sight, and, after exploring for sew
eral hours, they found the river seven
miles away, meandering along as
peacefully as IL nothing out of the usual
had happened. II Is needless to say
they finished their journey by wagon
train and mule power. In some future
age remarkable discovery may be
made OF river steamer buried in the
sand miles and miles from any water.

oors'io' Canoe with = Lot Of Fi'n

Dereliot Canoe with Lot OF Fish
Picked Up by Mcrchsntman.
From the Baltimore Sun: On board
the Hawaiian bark Iolania there is a
curiosity In a native canoe made BY
some Of the Pacific islanders. While
on the voyage from Honolulu last Au-
gust for Hong Kong to load mating
for Baltimore an object was seen in
the water TO the leeward. Captain
Mcclure changed his course, and, run
ming close to It, found II to be a mann
moth canoe. He had the ships car
penter put into the canoe, which was
nearly filed with water. When once
inside II was almost impossible to
stand up on It's slippery bottom. TO
make his position more exciting the
carpenter was seen fighting with a
large fish, which was making desper-
alto efforts to escape from the boat A
sharp hook was thrown the carpenter,
and It was not until be had stabbed the
fish several times that Il was conquer
ed. When the canoe was hoiBted on
board a number OF small FISH we're
found swimming about. The large
fish weighed seven pounds. The ca
noe is twenty-five feet long, cut out Of
a solid log, with rearing ends, which
would give the log It was hewn from
a diameter of at least five feet. There
Is not a semblance OF iron about II.
but along the gunwales are holes in
which lacings of hide thongs are used
to hold to and for serving the oars.
Places are cut out for the thwarts.
which were made of pieces OF bamboo
placed in the inches while wet and
allowed to shrink. There is also
place in the bottom to step a mast.
Capt. Mcclure thinks the canoe be-
longed to some Of the natives of Bal
llngtang island. in the Bashee group,
from which the Iolani was about TWEEN
ty miles when the curious vessel was
picked up. The presence Of the fish
could not be accounted for.

Some of the leaders of the
Republican party, especially
Chandler, know thatnothing
can save that party from ig
nominious defeat in 1898
and 1900 except a foreign
war. Every effort OF the Re
plblicans to restore prosper
ity has signally failed, and
every promise they made has
been repudiated. The ques
ton is, would the bondhold
ers who hold Cuban bonds
lose more by the independ
ence of Cuba and a war with
Spain than they could make
in buying and selling United
States bonds which a war,
they think, would necessitate
issuing. 1t is a matter of
dollars with them whether or
not to have war, and what
they determine upon will be
supinely acquiesced in and
executed by the weak admin
istration which they placed
in pOWer.-Ex.

Statesville Landmark.
Blanche K. Bruce, colored,
who died in Washington
Thursday. wasborn in Prince
Edward county, Va, March
/, 1871, and therefore was
81 years of age. He was of
African descent, was born a
slave, and received the rudi.
ments of education from the
tutor of his masters son. He
taught school for a time in
Hannibal, Mo-, and later be-
came a student at Oberlin.
In 1869 he became a planter
in Mississippi, and was ap-
pointed q member of the Mis-.
sissippi levee board. He was
elected sheriff of his county.
and subsequently, superin-
tendent Of education. In
1875 he was elected United
States Senator as a Repnbli-
can, and served until March
3, 1881. He was a member
of every Republican national
convention held since 1868.
In 1881 he VAS appointed by
President Garfield Register
OF the Treasury, and later
was appointed Recorder of
Deeds of the District of Co.
lumbia. About six months
ago he was again appointed
Register of the Treasury by
President Mckinley. Next
after Frederick A. Douglas.
Bruce has long been regarded
as the most conspicuous man
of his race.

Railroads are good forany

Railroads are good forany
country; they are essential
to commerce. But this is no
reason why they should be
suffered to do as they please.
The good they do cannot
justify their interference with
political affairs; cannotjustl-
fly them in discriminating a
ga:nst North Carolina in
rates, cannot justify them in
issuing free passes to polite
ians and Influential men by
the wholesale, while the COM
mon people are made to pay
dearly for freight and trans
portation; cannot stify
them in pleading poverty
while their officials receive
princely salaries, and while
they can afford toIideiudges
about the country in palace
ears; cannot Justify them III
returning their tax valuation
at one figure and demanding
that they be suffered to make
a heavy net income on a fig.

railroads will cOnfine them
selves to their legitimate
sphere. the public will prize

institutions; but when they
come to be political institu.

when they transcend their

expect trouble biblical Re-

the Government of The United
States should state whether
it intended to annex Cuba,
and If 70, that it should pro.
claim Il tariff policy for all
time that would not be af.
tected by changes ofadpinis,
tration. The absurdity Of
European nations deman1-
ing what any bright school
child knows to he impossible
under our form of govern
ment-the binding of it's sue
cessors by an administra-
tion-effpctually disposes of
this story, but Others equally
absurd are continually start
ed.
Many Senators and Repre-
sentatives are sharply criti-
cising the administration for
countennncing the presence
in Washington of the three
alledgeo Cuban Commission
ers, who jointly with the
Spanish minister form what
they are pleased to- call, the
reciprocity commission"
and who have actually had
the audacity to take the pre-
liminarv steps towards the
negotiation of a reciprocity
treaty with Spain, to include
Cuba. What adds to the au-
dacity is the fact that these
so-called commissioners are
not acting in good faith, are
not what they claim to he,
but are engaged in lobbying
for a continuance of autonO-
my in Cuba. although to do
so they have to practically
call liars several United Sta
tes Senators, Consul General
Lee, and every intelligent
newspaper correspondent
who has recently been in Gu
ba, rs all of these have de-
clared in unmistakable terms
that autonomy h as been
from the first a fiat failure.
1t is thought by a number of
gentlemen who are familiar
with the game that these
agents of Spain are trying to
play that the administla-
tion would be justlfiable in
sending them home, but it il
whispered that the admins
tration wants them JUS t
where they are, and notwith,
standing the sentiment of
Congress and of the public in
favor Of free Cuba, six meln-
bers OF Mr.. McKinley's Cabi-
net favor a policy on the
part OF this government that
will result IN the continua-
tion upon some terms of the
farce OF autonomy in Cuba,
and the use Of the power of
this government to compel
the Cubans to accept it. This
seems too monstrous for he
lief, but it is seriously talked
about in Washington and is
given to you for what it is
worth. Personally, your cor
respondent does not believe
that Mr.. Mckinley would
dare try to carry out such a
policy, and is certain, If he
did, that Congress would not
allow it to be done under any
circumstances.
