To the end that we NAV he power that is
going to command respect and secure the

and exacting general agency. We are not
playing soldier, and 1 take it that the pur-
pose of this Order is something more than
that lot of US may be called Generals :"
"Colonels," +" etc.
Serious men have no time to play doll. If
we cannot be a force, we cannot take care of
our comrades, and unless interest is shown
we shall never be force. Apathy in camp
is more disastrous than the enemy. Apathy
on the part of an American citizen, who, as
such, is a part of the Government, is dis
honest and contemptible, as manifesting in
difference to one of the greatest trusts that
can be reposed in man, namely, responsibility
for the welfare of his fellow citizens. What,
then, shall he said of soldier who is in
different to the interests of his comrades?
While l am at the head of this Organiza-
tion, l am bound that we shall observe
military methods and have order and precis-
ion in cur ranks; that We shall have def
mite purpose; and that we shall all know
what we are doing and for what we are doing.
Let me request you, in your own way, to
give the substance of this letter to as many
comrades as possible.

Croxton's Brigade Fought, Too.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In Sept %
Issue is an article on Capron's Brigade.

to cost 100000 1t planned to issue pre-
ferred stock to pay for the same. The plant
necessitated the outlay of the full $20O,OOO
The stockholders were relied upon to take
all this but SIS 900. Some of them refused
to take their proportionate share and the
result was that but $4,000 of the amount
was subscribed and paid in The balance
of the cost of the steel plant, about $12S,-

capital of the concern. This cramped it.

HOW PORTO RIcANs SHAVE.
No Use for the American Razors or the In
despensable Soap.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
The natives of our new territory, Porto
Rico, have no need to buy soap, for wood
ed country abounds in plants whose leaves
and bulbs supply most fully the place of
that Indispensable article. Among the best
of these is the soap tree, so called, though
it is more bush than tree Its bulb
when rubbed on wet clothes makes snow
white lather, which has an odor like old
brown Windsor soap.
The Porto Ricans, who are ALL from the
highest to the lowest, great dandies In their
way, make soap out of cocoanut oil and
homemade lye-and a fine soap It is,
smooth ard fragrant. This cocoanut oil
soap is used for shaving. When a man
wishes to have a shave in the morning he
starts out with his ocoanut-shell cup, and
his donkey-tail brush and bottle It is
never any trouble to find an empty bottle
in Porto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, or almost
any of the larger West Indian islands, even
in remote spots IN the mountains. At least
twenty generations of thirsty people have
lived there and thrown away the bottles
The man carries no mirror; he is too poor
to own such luxury. Not one house in
twenty in Porto Rico has even the very
cheapest looking-glass. But generously
erich nature provides the mirror as we'll as
the soap. The man goes to some conven-
lent pool in the mountain stream where the
water is quite still-there is his mirror. He
breaks his bottle on stone and deity
picks out sharp piece of suitable size
Then he fathers his face profusely and be-
gins to scrape away with his piece of glass,
which in his hands works as well as the
best steel razor. A cut or even a slight
scratch, is extremely rare as result of
this al fresco form Of shaving.

The Open Door Southern Question.

The expansion question is settled. AS
Governor Cuberson of Texas expresses 1t,
1--WE done expanded" The academic ques-
ton alone remains, and whoever has the
time or inclination to discuss ii in the stage
to which 1t has been carried, should be
given, of course, full opportunity Free
speech Is guaranteed, and compulsion in
reply is unknown. The anti-imperialists
have taken over the academic case and in
their hands all active practical men can
well afford to leave =
The phase OF the question that now in
terests a working world, especially in the
South, relates to the use that is to be made
of the new acquisitions. Trade follows the
flag, but the United States have no flag in
commerce on the seas. The flag creeps
along our coasts, but Dingleyism, past and
present, has driven the flag out of the
worlds commerce. How best it can be re-
pie, especially of the South.
We of the South need the flag because we
are making a great deal of surplus iron,
and a great deal of surplus cotton, and we
desire to turn both iron and cotton into
manufactured goods, and to find a wider
market for such goods. This is the ambi-
ton of the South. That market is, beyond
reasonable doubt or question, in the Orient
If the South is to become the seat of fac
tories-if the planters are to be relieved of
the nightmare of Accent cotton-if the South
is to keep pace with the remainder of the
country in material wealth; then there
must be an open door to Chinese trade.
The Philippines, easily governed, filled
with tractable kindly people, who have
never known what good government Is,
must become the base of the new campaign
for a wider trade-for the relief of the
planters and miners of the South-for the
growth and prosperity of this section of
the country. The question is in the re-
spects of iron and cotton essentially a
southern question, and every step taken in
the building of Pacific bridge is a step
for the commercial emancipation or up
and the ships bearing the flag, the Phil
ippines, and the open door of China
mean development in this section beyond
that of any other section.
The securing of fair and square trade
opportunities in China is a problem that
should be faced steadfastly and courag-
ecusly. England and Japan are with US,
and possibly Germany. If Germany, too,
desires the open door, Russia and France
cannot close any portion of China to the
worlds trade At any rate, 1t is the clear
and plain duty of this country to take steps
towards securing trade opportunities equal
to those ''of the most favored nation" In
every province of the Celestial Kingdom;
and every man in the South who desires to
