Blll Brown MlstaIsen Tor a Regular.

Bill Brown Mistaken for a Regular.
I. NJ. Yost, of Hays City, is a rank Re-
publican. He has resided at Fort Hays
for almost a generation and ought to
know what he is talking about when he
speaks of soldiers and their proficiency.
He has recently visited Chickamauga,
where the Twenty-first Kansas is To-
Gated A few extracts from his report
in the Hays City Republican will be Of
interest. They are as follows:
"The men are happy, of a soldierly
bearing, ready and willing workers at
their respective posts of duty. They have
the cleanest, most orderly quarters we
found in all that great encampment OF
over 10000 men, and felt proud OF the
TWenty-first Kansas. The twenty
first have already record for marks
manship, aptness in tactics orderly con-
duct, good physique and admirable sol
dierly learning. We feel proud that the
Twenty-first belongs to us. Favorable
comment by so eminent a man as Major
General John r. Brooks counts for much
and he gave it.
Now, a word concerning the regimen
tai officers: Col. Thos G. Fitch we found
very affable and a kind-hearted man.
He is a soldier and has the true inter-
ests of the men at heart and who cares
for the boys as father should. The
boys all like him and he deserves their
best efforts. The lieutenant colonel is
also we'll fitted for the position.
Majors Smith and Brown are regulars
and every inch soldiers, perfect masters
of their work and it was interesting to
see how hard the boys tried to initiate
them. They are exact in every move
they make, and to them great credit
should be given for the wonderful pro-
ticiency of the regiment.
We could scarcely realize that the
boys before us were the clumsy, SOW,
stoop shouldered, bow legged, awkward
looking men we say lately in old Hays,
and again l say we threw up our hat
and cheered, feeling proud to own the
TWenty-frst.
II found necessity to obedience as fixed
in the camp of the Twenty-first as the
laws Of the Medes and Persians" and
the disobedient must atone to the Of
Tended law.
Mothers can rest secure. All is done
TO make good man and courageous and
brave soldier out of your son at Camp
Thomas.
1--WE spent two days in camp. They
have plenty Of good water and healthy
food. Good water, though it has to be
hauled some five miles. But our good
drayman, John Mullen, is bountiful
provider, and the boys will not be al
lowed to suffer so long as he is team
ster.
Major General Brooks ranks General
Shafter, and being in command Of the
greatest number of troops at present in
one place, we expect glorious results
from his army; in fact, he is in Wash
ingtOn to-day answering a call of the
President looking toward an early move
ment upon Porto Rico, and the first
corps, of which the Twenty-first is a men,
Der, is his choice. So we may confidently
expect our boys to be favored by going
to the front at Porto Rico. Oh, how the
old battlefield at camp will ring with
their cheers when the news comes to
move to the front The only kick l
could hear was, If we can only go to the
front"

Annexation VIII Break Tariff Walls.

Independence POpullst.
Those Republicans who are such ar
dent advocates Of the seizure Of the Phil
ippine islands and policy of territorial
expansion don't see very far beyond the
ends of their noses The inevitable re-
suit of such a policy will be the break
ing down of our tariff walls and the
adoption of the English system Of free
trade. When we get rich enough to
have colonies and have money due us
from all parts of the world, we shall
very speedily begin to take down the
bars that now stand in the way Of the
ingress Of the products in which our
interest and rents must be paid. And
it seems the very irony Of fate that Nc
Kinley, the chiefest apostle Of high pro-
lection, should be the very man to i'm
pose on the country foreign policy that
will render high protection impossible.
The Advocate and news., 1898-08-03

Many people get an erroneous idea Of
the governments interest claim in the
Pacific railroad settlements. The in
terest waived is money actually paid out
by the government on bonds which 1t
guaranteed. The roads defaulted in their
payments and the government had to
pay. 1t was not case or allowing the
roads to use government credit without
interest.

A Republican opinion Of a "self-re-
specting" Democrat taken from the Kan
sas City Tribune (Rep): "The ire
pressible Colonel Reynolds, whom Cleve-
land removed from the WaKeeney land
office, has broken out again, and the an
noying thing about it is that the Topeka
Capital gives him standing by publishing
his manifesto. It will keep Reynolds
busy to control his own vote, and he
should be let severely alone"
