Hon. Jas. Hay, the representative
from this district deserves credit for
his opposition to the bill to raise
$4,000 additional troops in the South,
supposed to be yellow fever immunes'
the officers of whom are to be APP
pointed by the President. This gives
an opportunity to many men who
cannot obtain positions in their own
states, to get the coveted positions in
Southern regiments. The experience
of past wars do not show that South
ern officers are inferior to those of
other sections, and there is no good
reason why Southern soldiers should
not be commanded by Southern
officers.

volunteered.

1.-THE Americans are pigs, Commo-
dore Dewey's feet didn't do the
squealing at Manila
-
Unless other powers interfere the
United States will soon get the bet
ter of Spain, but future generations
will inquire, Gu bono?
Blanco brays that Sampson only
killed a mule, while Montejo walls be-
cause Dewey annihilated his fleet.
Such are the casualties of war.
-
Commodores Sampson and Schley
are both anxious to write their names
upon the pages of history. They are
impatiently awaiting the coming OF
the Spanish boats.
Enough blood has been shed to
satisfy Spanish honor. Let Cuba go
and stop your foolishness is the ad-
vice which SPANS friends are anxious
10 give her.
Commodore Dewey made history
very rapidly last Sunday. The battle
of Manila will be classed in history
among the greatest naval contests Of
the world.
-
The Winchester Press says: IKE
member that the Cuban war resolu-
tons were passed by Republican
votes. &c" Ifno other class will do
so, you may be able to induce the
taxpayers to remember 1t.
~
The Spaniards call us American
pigs, but when they found Their
Pacific fleet entirely annihilated and
the pigs" trying to place their flags
over the Philippine islands, they
thought that We were even worse
than pigs.
-
When the Winchester Press re-
lieves the Democratic party OF all
responsibility for the passage OF the
Cuban war resolutions, it gives the
democratic party more credit than 1t
deserves. Just wait till the war IS
over, and then the democrats will
probably have turn.
-
The great thing to be gained by
the war with Spain is that the mod
en story writers will let up on their
improbable, insipid war stories
located in the South. 1t will, how
ever, be very hard on the SPaniards
and Cuban bellies for the next forty
years.
~
The Spanards are to be commend
ed for their conservatism, when they
call the Americans who seized the
PHILIPPINE islands, "Pigs." In Anne iea'
the people would use another word.
President Mckinley seems to be
getting the reputation of President
TAYLOR. of whom it was said that he
didn't like to fight, but when he did
fight. be fought ike the ID.
~
Will Southern soldiers be COM
manded by Southern generals? is
question which seems to concern the
old soldiers. The young men may not
know the difference, but the old ones
do.
An old soldier, of this place, says
that he determined, at the close of
the last war, never to 60 into another,
unless he should be called to 90 as a
general. As no such call has yet
reached him, he still fondly fingers
about his pleasant home.
-
We read a great deal about people
rendering their services to the Presi-
dent or the Governors of the states,
in the war with Spain. This means,
if the President or Governor has a
good place to give, they are willing
to accept it. The men who really
want to fight for their country, tender
their services to the Captain of some
local military company and they al
ways get place. There are thous-
ands of snch nlaces still open TO the

The Spaniards seem determined to
make one supreme effort to have
their feet destroyed.

The demand for troops for the
PHILIPPINE Islands very discouraging
to the men who contemplated visit
ING California while war was raging
near the Atlantic coasts.

The men who were willing to wad e
in blood to their middles, while Nc
Kinley was working for peace, have
now quoted down and have not
rushed to have their names enrolled.
-
Some apprehension is felt in Wash
ington that the Cape Verde fleet is
endeavoring to meet the Oregon on
the coast Of Brazil. As soon as the
government can locate that fleet,
which they expect to do in few
days, arrangements will be made to
extepd to it a hearty reception.
~
A more favorable time for young
people to become acquainted with
the geography Of the world, than the
present has never been known. Let
them locate the U. 5. States and
Spanish squadrons, the route of the
Oregon, the routes by which the
United States and Spain would rein
force their respective fleets at the
Philippine islands, and they will be
well acquainted with the maratime
map of the world.

the little Napoleon
During the morning session nothing of
Importance was done beyond listening TO
the report on transportation and tele-
graph, the details Of which do not interest
the public.
The night session tonight will probably
be devoted to consideration of the playing
rules as reported by the committee on
that subject. This will bring up the kick
ing question, and it is said that all of
the clubs will be put on record in man
ner similar to that accomplished this aft
ernoon. The Brooklyn Club. after secur-
ing the consent of all league clubs. has
released Pitcher Fisher to the Omaha
Club, Of the Western League.
Ebbis has also purchased outright the
release of Pitcher Horton, Of Syracuse.
1t is quite probable now that Tucker
will remain in Washington as first base
man. Jack Doyle has written a letter to
Wagner TO the effect that he would not
play in Washington under any condition,
and If Wagner does not trade him to some
blS team he VIII FetlGt. wagner Salu To-
night that Doyle would either play in
Washington or get out, but incidentally
he remarked that Tucker would be re-
tanned for Washington, and that he would
play first base. Fi
The magnates tonight have been cam
vassed as to the adyisability of setting
apart the gross receipts of all league
games on certain day this coming sea-
son, the amount TO be sent TO the Secre-
tary of War for the erection of a monu-
ment TO the memory of the sailors of the
United States battleship Maine. The idea
is finding favor. 1t is said that the va
rious minor leagues will be asked to join
in this movement. The matter will be
placed before the league tomorrow morn
ing.
1t is probable that the league will make
some diclSer with Won der Abe in the next
day or two, although he still maintains
that he will stay in the game
