ARE WE ALL AMERICANS ?

BISHOP BurkC, OF the CathoIlc diocese,
of Albany, y. Y, in an eloquent sermon
preached last Sunday denied that the
Catholics of this country would be in
sympathy with Spain in the event of
war. The Bishop asserted that there is
no creed in patriotism
There has been as far as we know
no cause of doubling the loyalty Of the
Catholics to America in case - wa,
unless the sporadic utterance of Il priest
be taken as u cause. Certainly the
good offices of the Pope with Spain
should not tell against the patriotism
over, should the fact that the Priests
in Havana offered their treasures and
the proceeds of their affairs and other
assets TO the Spanish authorities there
be held up by way of prejudice against
Catholics, nor should prejudice be en-
Outraged against any other class or Sc
gregation of citizens in America.
We do not mention these things FOR the
purpose of setting up any useless de-
Tense in behalf of the Catholics should
they lie called upon TO fight, but rather
to note what appears TO us TO be an
interesting speculation. This is, are we
all Americans? If there be doubt
about Catholics, the doubt may logically
be carried further. and all the Latin
races in the country may be looked upon
with suspicion This, at the start, is
an unwholcsome state Of mind for Il
nation TO he in. Yet i'll case
of Il war Of any pretensions,
there would or would not be common
American sentiment evolved which
hereafter, for Il long time, would give
meaning to the word american" It
is fair to say that the citizens of this
country are deeply enough impressed
with its spirit to have become Americans
in every public act, though domestic and
ties may yet be unbroken be-
tween them and their mother countries.
1t will be, it must be remembered, TO-
100000 people of divers mathematics who
will be called upon for their sympathies
and whether these sympathics will COME
in hearty accord, but, what is more
important, in accord with what is called
the American spirit is a question that
can be answered only by the results.
We are sure of the Atlantic Coast
States, and any other State would be
keenIy insulted were its full develop
ment into Amcricanism to be doubted. !
A continent set apart for liberty filed.
for hundred years with those from
other nations seeking the blessings of
liberty, are we now in heart one nation
with common aim?
The straightforward and optimistic
position is the healthy one and America
should, accordingly, be looked upon as
u new chemical compound
We, therefore, should not ''precipitate"
the Catholics or any other element that
go to make up the compound, but should
rather choose to believe that the country
would stand Loyalty as one against a
common enemy.
If this prove wholly true, the knowl !
edge that it is true will have been one,
at least, of the sat:sfactions that COME
out of the countless horrors OF war.
In brief, do all the citizens Of this
country stand for America in the sense
that Frenchmen stand for France, or
stand for England?

service.

Governor Proctor Knott and dis
tinguished professional gentleman, Of
Danville, were discussing the claims
Of Sampson and Schley to the credit
of smashing Cervera at Santiago. The
professional gentleman took the ground
that all the honor of that memorable
conflict belonged to Admiral Sampson,
and was inclined to ignore entirely
Commodore Schley's part in the affair.
The governor listened until his COM
panion had finished, and then, with
that characteristic twinkle in his eye,
said:
''My dear sir, it is exceedingly graf
flying to me to hear you take the posi-
tion you have in this matter. 1t is
like balm to my conscience and set
ties point that has worried me many
day.
i was walking through the woods
with boy friend Of mine when we
saw a rabbit run in sinkhole. We
stood around the hole awhile; then |
told the boy to keep watch while I
went to get some fire to smoke the
rabbit out. When l returned he had
captured the rabbit. I promptly took
it away from him, claiming that it be-
longed to me because I had told him
to catch him if he came out.
''That was so years ago and you are
the first man who has ever agreed with
me that the rabbit was mine. [ feel
now that [ was right in taking it and
my conscience is at rest.
The gentleman looked solemn for a
few moments, then smiled a feeble
smile and changed the subject.

A Dogs Lonely Journey From South
Carolina to New York.

The latest native cf Elmira to re-
turn from the "Sunny South" is a
valuable pointer that came on foot all
the way from South Carolina to his
home in this city because he was home
sick. Up to short time ago the dog
was the property of John H. Sullivan,
of 719 Kenyon street, law student.
About three weeks ago family
named Bum. living near the Sullivans,
on Kenyon street, who had been
friends to the Sullivan family, signii-
ed their intention Of moving to South
Carolina to live. A large dog, which
was owned by the Sullivans, spent
much of his time between the two
houses, sometimes staying for days at
time with one of the families and
then leaving for the other house sud-
denly, without apparent reason for
his departure.
When the Bunns moved to South
Carolina they asked the Sullivan fam
lily to give up their interest in the dog
so that they could take him with them.
This was agreed to, and the last that
was seen Of the dog in Elmira until
Monday was when the train pulled'out
of the station with the dog securely
died in the baggage car.
Monday last the Sullivan family
heard strange noise at the door.
They opened it and were astonished
to see the dog they had given to the
Bum family several months ago and
which they supposed to be miles away.
The Joy of the animal to find himself
among his friends knew no bounds.
He was so weak from hunger and
exhaustion from the long journey that
it was at first thought that he would
not live. The animals feet were so
blistered and swollen that after he
had been home an hour or two he
could not walk. What route the ami
NAL took or how long he had been on
the way is not known.-Ezmira, N.
Y, Aduertiser.

A Slight Mistake.

A Canadian river steamer was the
scene of an amusing blunder, which a
Wisconsin paper describes as follows:
A lady passenger was taken ill in the
night a Doctors assistance was re-
quired, but the steamer did not carry
a member of the profession. The list
of passengers was read through, in
order to discover if there was a med
ical man among them, and happily
there was the name, James Thompson,
M. D.
The stewart quickly ran to Doctor
Thompson's berth, and aroused the
occupant by vigorous blows on the
door.
"What's the matter? Is the boat
sinking?" came from within, in star
tied tone.
"There's a passenger i'll, and we
want your assistance, doctor, y replied
the steward.
"What are you playing at?" growled
the voice. II amt no DOCTOR y
"Why, you have got M. D. after
your name.
"Well, 1 can put them letters after
it if 1 like, can't II" said the NJ. D.
"That' my trade. I'm mule driver" !"

Was it the Constables Z

The Piedmont Headlight undertook
to carry Spartanburg county for Gov
ernor Ellerbe with whoop; but when
the votes we're counted, the result
showed up Ellerbe 2,191 F; Feather
stone, 2,514. This development had
to be accounted for in some way, and
the Headlight figures it up as follows:
But the reduced vote polled by
Governor Ellerbe was not intended as
rebuke to his administration; but a
disapproval Of the manner in which
the dispensary has been managed in
the past. Too much favoritism had
been shown the State constables, and
the people demanded that these Off
GERS be held to strict account for their
acts the same as other private citizens,
and not be made special pets Of. The
pardoning Of May and Buice, after
their conviction by an impartial jury,
lost Governor Ellerbe hundreds OF
votes in the upper section Of our
county as we'll as in Greenville, while
the cruel and unprovoked killing OF
Mr.. Turner by Newbold set the whole
county ablaze with indignation. In
Spartanburg county hundreds of strong
friends Of the dispensary voted for
Featherstone simply to show their
disapproval Of the manner in which
the dispensary has been managed, and
to put quietus on the shooting down
of men for an offense which, at most,
would only put them to the changing
for short time.
''The next legislature will have to
overhaul the dispensary law, and put
a stop to even the suspicion Of wrong
doing, and hold constables to strict
account for their acts, or two years
hence the people will rise in their
power and wipe the whole system out
of existence.

Getting Even.

Here is the way some New York
wives get even with young girls who
promenade with their husbands:
Through the lobby of Wallock' S
theatre young and beautiful woman
was walking with a married man.
A lady of forty, with refined but
sorrowful face, suddenly approached
the pair and dealt the young girl a
blow in the face with her clinched
fist.
There was scream, an oath from
the man, and women clung to their
escorts in fear. The man and girl fled
down the steps. The girl sank to the
pavement. The man tried to raise
her, but could not. Then he ran on.
The older woman came to where the
pretty girl lay in a fainting condition,
and with whip dealt her stinging
blows about the arms, breast and
head. The man returned, threw the
woman aside, put the girl in a cab,
and they rode off.
The crowd demanded the woman S
arrest.
she was my husband she said
de6antly. "He deserted me and his
three children. Tonight I learned
that he would be here, and I deter
mined to meet the woman face to face
and have my revenge"
She was not arrested.

Army Horses and Mules to be Sold

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The prob
lem is presented to the Government of
disposing Of the thousands Of horses
and mules which were purchased at
fancy prices during the first weeks of
the war. These animals are now in
army corrals in every section of the
country, from .Montauk Point to Key
West and Tampa, and from the great
mule depot at St. Asaphs to San Fran
cisco, not to mention those in active
service at Santiago, Porto Rico and
Manila.
Now that the volunteer regiments
are being rapidly mustered out, say
the officials of the War Department,
steps must also be taken to muster
out the Government horses and gaunt
mules, which are now eating off their
heads without being required to do
any work, besides compelling the
Government to retain in its employ an
army of civilian teamsters. The
Quartermaster's Department already
has begun to unload these animals,
and soon there will be big glut in
the mule market, unless Uncle Sam
follows out the famous Civil War
proposition and gives each veteran Of
the campaign in Santiago, Porto Rico
and the Philippines $40 acres and a
mule"
The majority of these stubborn,
tough animals were bought by the
Government by contract from the
great mule farms in the West. In
order to sell them they must first be
condemned by such officers as are
designated by the Government for that
purpose.
1t does net necessarily follow that
because mule or horse is branded
with the letter &C." meaning econ
demned, the animal is unsound. AL
though condemned and ordered sold
to the highest bidder, the animal may
be and generally is as sound as sill
yer dollar fresh from the mint. Ac
cording TO army law and regulations
animals cannot be sold until they are
properly condemned.
The first action by the War Depart
ment looking to the disposition of the
great army of army horses and mules
is embraced in the following order is
sued by Adjutant General Corbin:
"By direction of the Secretary of
War, Colonel Daniel Wheeler, Special
Inspector, Quartermaster's Depart
mcnt, is appointed Especial Inspector
under paragraph S7S, Army Regula
tions, to inspect public animals re-
ported as unserviceable and which
may bo presented to him at Chicka-
mauga Park, Ca, under such instruc
tions as he may receive from the
Quartermrster General of the army.
He will perform this duty before com
plying with paragraph IA, special
orders No. 2O8, September 3, 1898,

Service.
Service.

! food and Kitchen utensils, tne cOm
missaries socalled. With these the
individual soldier has no concern.
They are the property Of the company,
and at the expiration Of the service
must be returned to the government.
Some doubt appears to have arisen
in the minds Of many volunteers as to
the clothing question. Wearing ap-
parel of all kinds constitutes third
class of supplies. 1t is neither the
property of the company, nor does it
revert to the government. Each SOL
dier gets his uniform, etc., from the
government, at certain allowance.
He may and frequently does order
more, and in that case all of the extras
are charged against him in his month
ly pay. While many privates of the
regular army manage to consume less
than their allotted amount Of wearing
apparel, and thus get.a balance in ad-
dition to their pay, the volunteers
have been marvelously extrayagant.
They could not live as economically
as professional soldiers, and as re-
suit most of them have overdrawn
their clothing allowance and will have
the sum deducted from their final
payments.
A table showing the amounts allow
ed for clothing has been prepared for
each six months of the first year and
for each year of service thereafter.
For any period less than six months
the allowance is computed per diem,
the period of furlough being counted
into the total. Allowances for artil-
lery range about 5 per cent. above
those for infantry and for cavalry 10
per cent.
Before the men are discharged,
however, they will be examined by
the military surgeons, asregards their
present health, and as to any change
in their physical condition which ser
vice in the army may have wrought.
Owing to the pension question, this,
Of course, is work Of extreme impor-
tance, and therefore it has been order
ed that in any disputed case special
board of medical officers shall be con-
vened to render report.
Finally, when all Of this work has
been completed, the paymaster general
will send one of his ever welcome
agents to the regimental rendezvous.
For the last time as soldiers in the
United States the boys will range
themselves in military order. The
organization will be paraded and the
mastering out officer will cause the
names Of the officers and enlisted men
to be called out, requiring each to
answer to his name and step briskly
FIVE PAGES to the front. AS soon as
company has been mustered the men
will march TO the pay table and the
company commander will hand to each
man an envelope containing his pay
and little piece Of paper, the certif-
cate Of honorable discharge, after
brief but a1duous period Of military
service.
