On the Firing Line,

On the Firing Line,
July Ii, 1898.
We landed here Sunday at a little town
called Siboney. We got off of the boat
and marched twelve miles We left our
tents, blankets and hammocks. 1t has
rained every day since we struck here, and
we haven't been dry since we landed. We
are on the firing line. The firing at times
was heavy and fierce, but the loss of life
on our side is small This morning the
Spaniards are flying a flag of truce, SO the
firing was stopped. We have had nothing
to. eat for three days except some wild
fruit We would find such as cocoanuts,
mangoes and such stuff. We are nearly
starved. 1t has been through bad manage
ment and worse roads that we haven't had
something to eat. We understand the pack
mules are on their way with provisions
Yesterday evening two Spanards gave
themselves up, and said that there were
5000 starving men in the city They came
over TO our lines because they were starved
out We are now preparing for the final
charge, and will take the city by the 18th
If they don't surrender before This is a

THE MOB'S LATEST ACT.

At Monticello, Ga, on Tuesday last
Jake G.over, a negro, who was accused
Of being on accomplioe of the negro
Merriwether who was lynched on No
vember 22d FOR murder, was himself
swung off into eternity by mob. a
special dispatch from Monticello says
that GlCver's trial took place on Tues
day. "but that nothing being produced
which tended TO convic- him he was dis
charged from court" whereupon the mob
took him out and lynched him.
That IS a most shocking story. Here
was a man accused of a crime and regu-
larly tried by a jury which investigated
the case, and finding no evidence against
him. discharged the prisoner from Gus
tody. Yet in the very face of this the
mob. without any trial whatever and in
utter disregard Of the law and the evil
dence. deprived this man Of his life We
do not understand how such things can
be in a Christian land. 1t is mere bar
barism. without any sembiance of justi-
fication and in defiance and contempt

A PRAYER FOR THE FILIPPINOS

Archbishop ChappeIe, the appointed
paaal delegate to the ncwly-acquireu
American possessions, in speech MADE
I'm the city Of New orleans the other
day on the subject OF expansion took
occasion 10 say:
After the ciil war. some thirty or
more years ago, zone part Of the country
undertook to rcorganizc and reconstruct
the other vanquished part. Unfortunate
". a mistake, a great mistake, was MADE
and some gentlemen present here tonight
may remember the epoch 10 which / al
lude, when an army Of carpet-oaegerS
was sent South TO plumber and Insult
What a fearful mistake and what terri
bic opposition and misunderstanding re-
suited between two sections OF the coun-
try. ] sincerely hope that such mistakes
will no more happen. l hope that no
carpet-baggcrs will be sent to prey upon
our new possessions.
This country never knew a greater
outrage than that TO which the Arch
bishop so appropriately refers. The en-
franchisement Of the negro ana the i'm
portaton Of horde of carpet-baggers
to organize the negro vote and set up
in the Southern states carpet-bag gov
eminent, was crime which no honest
man at the North can this day contem-
plate without bringing the blush Of
shame TO his cheek. Southern men had
fought for their rights, for whatever
may be said now. the right Of secession
was at least at that time an open ques-
ton. Southern men fought braVely and
honorably, and by their courage and
heroism and sacrifice gained for them
selves the esteem and admiration Of the
world. Finally after four years OF war
after the fair South had been devastated
by fire and sword, after large proper
ton Of the brave men who went to the
war had been shot and killed, the little
handful that remained yielded to the
inevitable. accepted the situation, asked
no favors, put up no baby pleas, but
returned TO their devastated homes and
began the struggle Of life anew. 1t was
but common humanity that they should
have been left alone to work themselves
as best they could. out of their fdiffi-
culties and to retrieve their lost for
tunes. But as If they had not suffered
enough by the ravages Of war, this dev-
ilish conception of Reconstruction en-
tered the hearts Of the South's i'm
olacable foes. and never was a brave
and conquered foe so outraegously tram
pied upon and Inundated. Carpet-bas-
gers and negroes were turned loose to
do their worst, and were upheld in their
career of deviltry by Federal bayonets'
But we cannot trust ourselves TO dwell
at length upon this subject. 1t is an out
rage that the Southern man cannot think
over without arousing the siumberins
fires of bitterness and resentment. We
refer to the subject only BY way Of
heartily concurring in the noble wish
expressed by Archbishop Chappelle. that
our conquered possessions may, in the
name of God and humanity, be spared
the blight and humiliation Of carpet-bag
reconstruction such as was visited upon

MIR. WALTON MOOREs VIEWS

Hon. r. Walton Moore, OF fairlaN' WIN
has announced himself as candidate lor
the United States Senate, 10 succeed
senator Martin. is out In an interview
in the Fredericksburg Free Lance III
which he takes strong ground against
,mperialism. and commits himself 10 the
nroposftion to elect senators In Congress
by vote of the people.
As to the first, Mr. Moore says mat IN
his opinion nothing more ndefensipie
has been proposed in our history IMAM
TO assume the responsibility OF owning
and governing group of very distant
islands spread over an immense area ana
inhabited By many million people OF
mixed races and largely in condition
OF primitive brabarism. II this is the
logical and necessary consequence Of Adj
miral Dewey's victory at Manila, that
victory. says he, was worse than dis
aster, and we may well pray to be deliv-
cred from another Ike it.
AS to the other. Mr. Moore says that
while Il IS impossible under the Consu-
tuition to elect senators IN Congress by
popular vote. the nomination of party
candidates for the Senate can be made
and should be made. not by legislative
caucus. but In a popular way-either
by primary election or State conven-
ton called for that purpose.
Mr.. Moore is sound on these two great
principles. We want to have as little
as possible 10 do with the government
Of people of foreign lands, and we want
the people OF America TO enjoy the fullest
measure OF liberty and TO exercise the
most complete control over their own
affairs Of government. We do not want
any quasi citizens of the United States
from the Philippines or other islands OF
