MIR. CANNON LIBERAL,

The Chairman of the House Commit
tee on Appropriations, Joseph G. Can
non. is reported as saying: The Vol
unteers who enlisted for war can hard
" be asked TO stay in the service for
mere garrison or police duty in the
various islands. There must then be
an enlargement of the Regular Army.
| imagine that at least $4,000 men will
be required for Cuba alone. \ few
thousand will also be necessary in
Puerto Rico. | believe no sensible man
thinks we shall give up the Philippines,
and several thousand men will have
10 be kept there for long time to
maintain order and firmly establish the
new system of government fixed upon
by the United States. l do not see how
we shall be able to get along with less
than 100 600 men for some time to
come 1t goes without the saying that
the Navy will grow cOmmensurately
with the Army and for like reasons. 50

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SEVERED.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get a better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better. so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prOmi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on

people have been using it for years

depended upon. They may occasional

The following further particulars are
70 hand as regards the soldier Of 81
gantic stature who had the honor Of
being presented TO the emperor at the
grand manoeuyre headquarter. His
name is Mazumi Yamashita and he be-
longs to the Third Regiment of the
Nagoya Field Artillery. 1t was about
March last that Colonel Watanabe, mi
liJary attache to the emperor, was sent
to Nagoya 10 inspect the soldiers be
longing TO the Third division and in
his report on his return there was a
paragraph about a soldier Of gigantic
stature and enormous strength, who
was besides most assIduOus in his ser
vice and exemplary in his general con
duct. This report had not been for
gotten by the emperor when his majes-
" on the 18th inst, at the successful
conclusion of the grand manOeuyres,
inquired of the chief military aJtache,
Lieutenant-G General Okazawa, whether
or not the soldier participated in tEe
grand manoeuvres. Thereupon he was
hunted up in the Third regiment of the
said field artillery, and was Immediate
ly brought to headquarters, where he
was made to go through arms drills
and other forms of calisthenics, Col
Watanabe giving orders, before a win
dow behind which his emperor was
watching him. The exercises COnclud-
ed Lieutenant-Gener OkaZaWa called
the soldier into his room and impress
siveIy told him that nothing could
compare to the honor which had just
been granted in being summoned so
near the presence of his majesty, and
that therefore he should bear the occa-
sion always in mind and attend to his
duties with all his heart as it would
be a great calamity if he were to be
found misbehaving himself at some fu-
ure time when his majesty again
might inquire about him. Just at this
moment ViscOunt Tanaka, the minister
of the imperial household, stepped into
the room and after telling the soldier
what a gracious regard had been
shown him that day, added that the
great honor attached not only to him
self. but also to his family, his prede-
cessors as we'll as progeny, and also to
his own regiment, and handed him
box of cakes, remarking that the con-
fectionery was to have been offered
to the emperor on the preceding day
but that it was now given to him, so
he should hurry back home with it and
share the contents with his parents.
The soldier was overjOyed and even
moved to tears: and while in that con-
dition he was led away by Sergeant
Major Magosaburo Nakamura. Private
Yamashita enlisted in December last
and is now twenty-five years OF age.
His muscular strength is such that he
can carry a field piece on his shoulders
and climb up mountains where horses
are not available. He regularly re-
ceives two mems ratiOns Of food and
his uniforms, etc. are specially made to
fit him

Something OF The Career OF
Calvin y. Brfce.


WASHINGTON Dec. 15.-Calviu 5.
Brice was a native Of Ohio and was
born in 1915. He was the son Of q
Presbyterian minister. Three years
before the civil war ne entered Miami
university. and in 1861 he enlisted in
Ia university company for the year.
He served in West Virginia in the
Ninaty-sixth Ohio infantry. In 1868
he graduated from the university, and
after teaching school a few months he
became captain of 4 company in the
One Hundred and Eighth Ohio, and
served to the end Of the war
In the winter Of 1890, Mr.. Brice was
elected United States senator to sue
coed Henry B. Jayne, and took his seat
March 4, 1891. In the same year Brice
became a prominent figure. He was
soon made a member of the Democra-
tic steering committee, and became al
so a member of the committee on ap-
preparations. Mr.. Brice seldom spoke
in the senate, but was close observer
of everything that was going on and
was always deep in the councils of the
party.
Mr.. Brice served six years in the
senate, being succeeded by Joseph B.
Foraker. In Washington he occupied
the CorcOran house and gave lavish en-
tartainments which became worldwide.
Since his retirement from the senate
he has been in Washington very little,
but occupying himself for the most
part with business affairs in New
York.
Until the Democratic party adopted
free silver as a cardinal principle Mr..
Brice was q leader in his party in Ohio,
but after that ne did not take an active
part in politics.

SPANISH RIFLES.

The Ordnance Department OF the
Army is preparing to call for bids on
the Mauser rifles captured at Santiago,
which have been pronounced unfit for
use in the Army. II is the intention
of the department TO sell these rifles
either in small numbers or in large. No
difficulty is looked for in dispOsing of
them, as many communications have
been received already from private
parties relative to this matter. CuriO
dealers will undoubtedly buy the great
er part OF the guns and resell them at
a profit.

A Model Plant is not complete with
out Electric Power, thus dispensing
with small engines.
Why not generate your power from

ator can furnish power to your Pump,

ways and HOSTS; also, furnish light
and power for a radius Of from Is to
80 miles.
Electric Power being used, saves the
labor Of hauling coal in your field, also
