jim BLUDSO.

Wall. no! I can't tell whar he lives,
Becase he don't live you see;
Leastwavs he's goU out of the habit
Of,livin' like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last
three year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his
checks
The nightof the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint--them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez- under the Hill
And another one here in Pike.
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward hand in Il row,
But he never hunked, and he never
lied
1 reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine well;
Never be passed on the river,
10 mind the pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took
fire
A thousand times he swore,
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Miss
issip,
And her day come at last
The Movaster WAS IL better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be
passed.
And 50 she come tearin' along that
night
The Oldest craft on the line
With IL niger squat on her safety =
valve,
And her furnace crammed, rosin
and pine.
The fire bust out as she clared the
bur,
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as u flash she turned and
made
For that willer bank on the right.
There was runnin' and cursin', but
Jim yelled out,
Over all the Internal roar,
iii hold her nozzle agln the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore"
Through the hot black breath of the
burnin' boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussed-
ness,
And knowed he would keep his
word.
And s'r4s yours born, they all got
of
Afore the smokestacks fell
An | Bludso's ghost went up alone
IA the smoke of the Prairie Belle
He weren't no saint-but at Judgment
ia run my chance with Jim,
'Longside OF some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with
him.
He seen his duty, dead-sure- thing
And went for it thar and theni
And Christ ain a-going to be toe
hard
On man that died for men

Demands Of the War.
The war with spain laid new and excep-
tlonal ia6ors on the post 9iee nsya
forces of the United States required special
mail arrangements for every camp and
every campaign. The communication pc
tween home and camp was naturally eager
and expectant In some or the larger
places of rendezvous as many as 5O,OOO let
ters day required handling. This neces-
sity was met by the prompt detail and dis
patch OF experienced men from the estab-
iisned force and by directing al the instru-
mentalities OF the railway man ana poss t
Office service as far as necessary to this
new need. Congress passed an act empow-
ering the postmaster-general 20 establish
offices or branches at every military camp
or station, and under this authority the
postal machinery was speedily put into
effective operation.
Under the same authority. when our
forces moved upon Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, they were attended and
followed by the postal service. Though
the act of congress authorizes the appoint
ment of postmasters where necessary, IL
was early determined that the pubic IN
terests would be best subserved not by
new designations, but by the detail of ex-
perienced men familiar with every branch
OF the service, ard this policy was steadily
followed When the territory which was
the theater of conflict came into our pos
session, Il became necessary to rec stablis y
mail facilities for the resident population
a well as TO provide them for our forces
of occupa ton. and the former requiremen NJ

pSnciple was applied to this as 10 other
branches OF civil administration under

more particularly given in the report of

Is only just begun, ii is pleasing 10 be able
to say that the service in the territory
which has come under our control Is al

THE STANDING ARMY.
The Importance of Its Increase In
Pointed Out.

Under the act of congress approved
April 26. 1895. authorizing the president in
his discretion, upon a declaration OF war
by congress-, or a declaration by congress
that war exists, i directed the increase
of the regular army to the maximum OF
$1,000. authorized In said act There are
now In the regular army 57.S62 officers and
men. In said act 1t was provided that
at the end of any war in which the United
States may become involved the army shall
be reduced to peace basis by the transfer
in the same arm OF service or absorption
by promotion or honorable discharge UNI
der such regulations as the secretary OF
war may establish OF supernumerary COM
missioned officers and the honorable dis
charge or transfer OF Supernumerary ell
listed men; and nothing contained in this
act shall be construed as authorizing the
permanent increase of the commissioned
or enlisted force of the regular army be-
yond that now provided by the law in
force prior to the passage of this act, eX-
cept as to the increase OF :? majors pro-
vided for in section hereof"
The importance of legislation FOR the
permanent increase of the army Is there
fore manifest, and the recommendation or
the secretary of war for that purpose has
my unqualified approval. There can be no
question that at this time and probably
for some time in the future, 1OO,OO men Will
be none too many to meet the necessities
of the situation. At all events, whether
that number shall be required permanently
or not, the power should be given, to the
erection II should be necessary and the
further discretion should be given him to
recruit within the above limit from the
inhabitants of the islands with the gov
eminent of which we are charged.
1t is my purpose TO muster out the en-
tire volunteer army AS soon as the con-
gress shall provide for the increase of the
regular establishment. This will be only
an act of justice and will be much appre-
ciated by the brave men who left their
homes and employments to help the coun-
try in it's emergency.

Burdens and Waste Of War.
The experiences Of the last year bring
forcibly nome to us a sense of the burdens
and the waste of war. We desire in COM
mon with most civilized nations,to reduce
TO the lowest possible point the damage
sustained In time OF war by peaceable
trade and commerce. IL is true we may suf-
fer in such cases less than other commu-
mites but all nations are damaged more
or less by the state of uneasiness and APP
prehension into which an outbreak of hos
tilities throws the entire commercial world.
IL should be our object therefore, to min
imizs, as far as practicable, this inev-
table loss and disturbance. This pur-
pose can probably be best accomplished
by an International agreement to regard
all private property at sea as exempt from
capture or destruction by the forces of
belligerent powers The United States
government has for many years advocated
this humane and beneficent principle, and
Is now In position TO recommend ii TO other
powers without the impntation of selfish
motives. / therefore suggest for your con-
sideration that the executive be author
lied TO correspond with the governments
OF the principle maritime powers with a
View of incorporating into the permanent
law Of civilized nations the principle OF
the exemption of all private property at
sea, not contraband OF war, from capture
or destruction by belligerent powers.
