/ How strange it seems that nearly all OF
the most important battles OF the Civil
| War were double NAMED. For instance,
| the battle of I've 1ith If September, 1861,
is called in the North the Battle of South
Mountain, aud in the South the Battle of
Boonsboro; in the North they were named
after the banhiwork Of God, and in the
South they were called in honor Of the
handiwork of man. Thus the first passage
of arms is called the Battle OF Bull Run in
the North, the name Of a little stream.
from railroad station nearby.
The second battle 90 the same ground is
called the Second Bull Run by the North,
and the Second Manassas by the South.
| stones defeat is the Battle of Bulls Bluff
with the Federals and the battle Of Lees,
burg with the Confedera,es. The battle
called by General Grant, Pttsburg Land
ing, natural object, was named Shiloh,
after church, by lis antagonist. Rose
Grams called his first great fight with Bragg,
| the Battle of Stone River, while Bragg
named it after Murfreesboro, village.
So McClellan'S, OF the Chickahominy, a
little river, was with Lee the Battle of Cold
Harbor, tavern. The Federals speak of
the Battle of Pea Ridge of the Ozark range
of mountains and the Confederades call it
after Elk HON, a country inn.
The Union soldiers called the bloody
battle three days after South Mountain
from the little streams, Antietam, and the
Southern troops named it after the village
given of this double naming of great bat
tie fields by the opposing forces; but it
does seem singular that the North, should
use Gods beautiful nature in giving
names, and the South invariably hest0w-

great armies had passed, were strewn

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1898-10-23


The National Review has in its last
issue two articles, ono by Professor
Frederick @. Cony beare, entitled, "Side
Lights ON the Dreyfus Case" the other
by l. ]. Maxse, under the name Of. the
"Key to the Mystery" These two pa
pers give the most rational and lucid
explanation OF what is to most minds
puzzle which has yet been offered to
the world. 1t Is not that the explicit
facts arc new, but they are marshaled
in such a convincing way as to strike
the mind with all the force of fresh
presentation. They give an adequate
cause for the Dreyfus case from the be-
ginning. That cause, too. had nothing
to do with any original anti-Semitio
hate in the army Oh the public. Mr..
Maxse's argument can be briefly alb
straoted. In the summer Of 1894 Gen
eral Mercier, then minister Of war, had
badly compromised the Dupuy cabinet
by his attitude in the Turpin case. He
was savagely assaiIed by several of tho
leading journals, and, smarting under
their whips, he sought to avert these by
announcing that he had caught traitor
in the tolls. To make this good the
"bordereau" was forged, and because
the handwriting Of the unpopular Cap
tain Dreyfus resembled that Of the in
eliminating document he was pitched
on as the victim. The judges were
originally for acquittal, but Mercier
read to them the famous letter which
contained the phrase, "that canaille of
a D." on which Dreyfus was given,
instead Of the blank. Dreyfus was con-
demned, and for two years the French
public was convinced of the justice of
the condemnation.
In 1896 some of the French journals
began to discuss the case afresh and
found bad gaps and breaks in the chain
Of proof. So much talk grew that to
quiet suspicion Colonel Sandherr, the
president CT the court martial, rehearsed
the government case in L'Eclair and
trusted to memory in repeating certain
statements and alleged proofs. The con-
fused defense aroused fresh curiosity
and contradiction, ending in the Zola
and Picquart episodes and the sensa-
tional and Infamous afterpieces So we
have here the whole story told, and
a dreary and accursed story it is. To
save cabinet minister's repute, per
haps TO prop a trembling administra-
ton, blunder, originally made posi-
bly, in good faith, is persisted in. To
justify the illegal recourse is had to
forgery on the wholesale, until the en-
tire general staff is involved in course
Of monstrous dishonor and mendacity
Sonow perfectly honest revision means
the loss Of the faith of the people in
their idol, the army. That perhaps
means revolution.

THE report comes from Wash
ington that Secretary Bliss Of the
interior department viii, in his re-
port to Congress, recommend sew
eral changes in the Curtis bill to
cure defects in said law affecting

those changes will be are not
known. 1t is hoped they will be
for the best.

A DISPATCH fl RI Fort Scott
says that the Greek Indians are ar
ranging to go to Mexico and es.
tablish a colony. 1t is also rdmOred
that many Chickasaw and ChOc-
taw Indians are contemplating a
like move. They are greatly dis
appointed over the passage of the
Curtis bill, the allotting of the
Territory and the manner of
making up the rolls. In such an
action the Indians will only cut off
their noses to spite their faces.
They had better remain here and
get all out of the allotment they
can, and when they can sell out
and move if they choose. BY
leaving now they will only work
into the hands Of the very men
who are trying to complicate mat
ters, disgust the Indians and cause
them to leave the country so they
can get larger shares. Stay here
and demand your rights.

IT is true in politics as it goes"
that there is some party feeling
among members of congress, and
it would be no detriment to the
chances of Territory measures, for
Congress to know that at least a
large proportion of the white peo-
pie of this country have cease to
idolize the mere name of the Dem
Ocratic party simply because their
fathers did and because they have
really had little occasion or in
ducement to give any thought to
any other side of political ques.
tions than that for which the Dem
ocratic party, through its politi-
clans, declared.
In the above the Ardmore Bull
letin makes strong appeal to the
greed and cupidity of those Demo
Gratis who are deeply interested in
the material prosperity of the Ter
ritory to flop over to the Republi-
can party. 1t doesn't seem to
think they are Democrats from
principle, but because they don't
give any thought to any other
side of POLITICAL questions" !" and
because their fathers were Demo-
Gratis. Nobody are sincere but
Republicans, nobody think about
the great political questions but
Republicans, nobody are adherents
of party from principle but Re-
publicans, yet the Bulletin would
have Territorial Democrats to
forego their faith and allegiance to
the Democratic party and become
Republicans for WHAT Political
gain. prestige and influence with
the administration at Washington,
through which TO secure legisla-
tion for the Territory that will
help them.

SEVERAL of the Territorial pa
pers are asking Congress to make
some provision for taking care of
the insane of the Territory. 1t is
strange that this has been over
looked so long by Congress. 1t is
one of the first things that should
have been done. The Curtis bill
makes no provision for setting
aside lands on which to build such
institutions. The next Congress
should do this. These unfortun-
ates should be provided for and
one or two locations for insane
asylums should be selected before
the country is allotted.

to know if this earth is hell. That
depends. If a man is devil this
earth is hell to him. If he is a
Just and true Christian man who
does his duty to his fellowman,
this earth is delightful abiding
place-a preparatory state for a
more blissful home bye-and-bye.
Life is what a man makes it. He
carries about in his own soul the
fires of hell or the sunshine OF
heaven. AS man thinketh in
his heart so is he" If he thinks
evil, his acts will be evil. If he
has pure and just thoughts his ac-
tions toward his fellowmen will be
lust. 'Tis not the outward appear
ance that makes a man; it's what's
in him and what he does. 1t is
not the place that constitutes the
mans happiness. 1t may contrib
ute to his physical comfort and
pleasure. If the heart is right,
the man is happy anywhere you
put him. Paul and Silas were
happy in prison. John Bunyan's
soul rejoiced as he wrote Pill
grim's Progress, though he suf-
fered physical pain from prison
life. A good man can make the
prison a heaven, while a mean
man with a wicked, cruel heart
can make the most beautiful home
on earth a veritable hell. The
earth is as the man or woman
sees it. If we look at it with a
wicked. cruel heart, through COW
etous, envious eyes, the earth Is
hell. If we look at it with pure,
good heart, through loving and
sympathetic eyes, the earth is Il
thing OF beauty and JOY forever =
the footsto0l of the great God Of
the universe. 1t is the violation
of natural, moral and physical
laws that brings suffering, pain
and disease to man. We suffer
bodily ills and discomfortS because
we or our forefathers have done
wrong in the past. The most
righteous man in the world is not
exempted from the penalty of vio-
lated law. If You want this earth
to be bright and beautiful, keep
the heart right and speak loving
and kind words. If you want it to
be ugly and dreary, keep the heart
bad and wicked filled with evil
thoughts, unhOly ambitions, envi-
business and cOvetousness = and
backbite and SANDER your neigh
bors and look upon all men as liars
and thieves and all women as
faithless and impure; go home
with scuwl and a frown on your
face and bitter words on your lips
and poison on your tongue. Don't
see the beautiful, perfumed roses,
but the thorns; don't see the sun
beams as they dance before you on
your hearth, but the lowering,
threatening storm clouds; don't
hear the sweet laughter of innO-
cent children, but the deep thun-
der of Gods artillery as the storm
gathers. Shut your heart to all
the hallowing influences of home,
the loving kindnesses of wife, the
refining, ennObling influences of
mother. Be a boOr, a bear, a
miserable, sour-natured despicable
man, fit only for treason, strata
gem and spoils, and earth will
surely be hell
