THE LAUGH ON THE HILLsIDn


Gen. Joe Wheeler's little mistake al
the cha ge up the Hill OF San Juan has
set the country to laughing, not at the
brave general, but with him and this
chorus Of laughter, considering its
origin, is one OF the things that has
made this war worth all it has cost.
Gen. Wheeler was Confederate cav
airy leader, bold and dashing. The
memories of his four years of cam
paigning in a Confederate uniform are
burned into his brain, and 1t is lot to
be wondered at that in the excitement
OF that terrific charge at San Juan bis
tongue slipped CT d In the uniform
OF major general OF the united States
volunteers and leading a division of
blue-clAd troopers, Gen. Wheeler went
charging up the hill As the Spaniards
began to give way the old warrior
sto in his stirrups and. waving his
sword, shouted
800 for EN-, boys. The d-d Yam
KEGS are running
Then he saw Ills mistake and cor
rected IT, &" ! mean the Spaniards are
running he sh .uted
And as the blue-clad troopers swept
up the hill amidst a hail OF Mauser
bullets they paused long enough TO
cheer the general and laugh uproar-
iously at his mistake Death shrieked
in the air, but the troopers laughed in
glee at the generals mistake and then
rushed on up the hill, the sons OF men
who wore the uniform OF the Union ip
1863 trusting implicitly in their leader,
who once wore the Confederate gray.
THAT laugh on the hillside at san
Juan was worth kings ransom. 1t
was worth all that the nation has ex
pended in this war with Spain II is
tNe final proof of the complete recon
ciliaiion which has taken place be
tween sections that a generation ago
were locked in a death grapple.

known 10 the treasurer that all Of the
county treasurers have made II prac-
tice TO virtually extend the time for
thirty days owing TO the great rush
towards the close OF the tax paying
time, which prevents many from get
ting Ia exactly on time Ii is very
plain that none OF tue treasurers had
uade settlement with the territorial
treasurer when he issued his disrepu
table tables"
The Times Journal then charges the
treasurer with willfnlly perverting
the facts aud slandering the counties,
and says Thompson knew that
he knew that the indebtedness OF the
counties TO the territory WAS fictitious
and did not exist 10 feet
Aud then closes with the direct
charge, that the data was gotten out
by Treasurer Thompson to deceive the
public, and TO offer some excuse for
the raise in valuation" and time puts
the cap sheaf on aud riders it with the
emphatic assertion that Treasurer
Thompson has been guilty OF mos
villainous slsnder against the coun
ties and the territory.

the people, and charges that II is the
fusionis's who hav brought about this
unhealthy condi ion OF our finances
II says that for some years there has
been a tendency among the fusionists
20 jump onto all kinds Of taxes as
system Of robbery They have not,
like patriots, admitted that certain
amount II revenue is necessary to run
the public service. however econom-
ically Il may be administered
II the state Capital will pursue its
inv stigatiOns ia an honest, and not In
partisan aud demsgogical wav, it
will End that there are as many Re-
publicans whose names stand on the
list Of delipquents as there are Of
fusionists. More it will find that there
are as many Republican newspapers in
the territory kicking against the un-
just manner Of tho tax raise in this
erritory as there are OF any other po-
litical faith
The State Capital also 'easons from
false premises when 1t charges upon
any class Of citizens the unpatriotic
purpose to avoid the payment OF their
legitimate proportion OF the taxes nee
essary to administer the government
upon an economical and just basis.
II our contempt airy would for once
be honest with itself, it would say that
all t. is trouble aud the large delin-
quent list it so much laments is due
entirely to the general feeling through
out the territory that the action Of the
board Of equalization in putting an
unjust, fictitious and fraudulent value
upoh the property of the people was in
violation of the organic act OF the ter
ritory, and therefore could not be en-
forced. 1t would also say that this
feeling was strengthened and crystal
lied by the decisions of the ccrrts, and
not charge the people by wholesale as
being dishonest and unpatriotic.
The fact is, hal it not been for this
unwise action Of the board OF equaliza-
tion in raising valuations there would
have been no delinquent list to report.
and the State Capital would not have
found 1t necessary, in the furtherance
Of its schemes, to charge wholesale
dishonesty upon the people.

LOOKS LIKE POLIrICS

There are some picturesque tints
connected with the decision of Judge
J. II Burford 10 dissolvir the in
junction Of the LEADER Printing Com
pany against the Board OF Regents Of
the Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege at saltwater Mayhap, Judge
Burford conned the authorities thor
oughly in order to throw light on the
case and, mayhap, the agents OF the
administration were thoroughly alive
to the task of enlightening the court
wherever darkness prevailed, but at
the risk Of displeasing its own attor-
neys in the case, the LEADER feels
that decisions of this kind are too
often interpreted as being political
subterfuges TO avoid legal contracts,
In the case OF the LEADERS con
tract it wall hold good until that
period when the date on the contract
itself shall have arrived There is not
the slig test question about the L.
galiiy OF the LEADERS contraet-had
II not heen gilt-edged IL would have
been torn 10 shreds long ago The
LEADERS contract was authorized by
fusion Legislature and made by
Democratic governor. Up To few
months since, but one man has ever
kicked On this contract That man is
Greer The nav OF the Capital has
been working on short rations OF late,
and the thought Of a Democratic
Office getting Republican contract
printing threw thu Repub blican organ
grinder into Mysteries, Frantic have
been his attempts TO work up 10 the
blind side Of the governor, and yet at
the same time to apparently sail in the
waters fl wing between the Barnes
and Flynn factions The governo
has been sucker enough 70 believe
Greer.
II is not necessary for the LEADER
70 go into details and explain its con
tract with the territory; the public is
not interested in that, but the public
is interested in the courts. There IS
nothing in chemistry which shows
that law, justice aud politics will mix.
The LEADERs inJunet on still holds.
II goes to the supreme court. The
LEADER has conf ience in Juds Bur
fords fairness and mpartiality, but
We believe in this case he has been
misled and deceived by the caleimined
briefs Of the administration agents

treasurer, char4cterizes the so called
