The ''lion and the lamb or in modern
Democratic parlance in New Jersey,
sthe gold and silver elements have, for
NE sake of harmony and of future offices,
locked arms and they are now travelling
in the same direction. This is exempli-
fed in the confirmation of Joseph Rice of
Trenton as a manager of the State Hos
pital in that city-without opposition, at
least outspoken, by Senators DAILY and
Barber. It will be remembered that

DIR. Mary Walker was in Washing
ton the other day, and here is the ac-
count of her doing. She spent the day
in trying to convince congressman
that officials of this government were
in league with the insurgents in the
destruction of the Maine, and threat
ened to communicate the facts to the
Spanish government if congress did not
call off the dogs of war.
Late in the afternoon she was indulg-
ing in her reasonable talk in the pres
ence of the wife of a naval officer who
was court-martialed for throwing a
bucket of water on a drunken sailor
for cursing the United States, its Off
GERS and flag. She did not take kindly
to the remarks of the little doctor in
male attire, and reprimanded her
sharply and tried to shame her, and
wound up by saying:
why don't you have some decency
about your clothes and put on skirts
The women of this country ar
ashamed of you"
This shot was t 10 much for the irate
doctor. and she was completely routed
by it, although she had CALAMITY with

A FIFTY-DOLLAR CIGAR.
An Incident In the Official Life of
Lieutenant Colonel Ludlow.

Savannah (Ga.) News: Lieutenant
Colonel Ludlow, who. testified Tuesday
as a witness for the defense in the Carter
court martial, was formerly in charge
| of the government work at Savannah, be-
| ing the first engineer in charge mere after
| the war. Among other responsible posi-
lions which Colonel Ludlow has held was
that of chief of the Philadelphia water
! department. Along to the SOS the Phila-
dslphia waterworks got in such had shape
that the authorities were in despair. The
secretary of war was asked to assign
member of the engineer corps to take
charge of the works. He did so. and
! managed them for two years with great
success. Philadelphia politics were
evidently not free then from the rotten
ness which distinguishes them today, and
the following incident. narrated in the
Philadelphia Record and republished in
the Morning News some ten years ago.
is said to have been an actual occurrence:
That's a cool fellow" said an uptown
manufacturer, pointing across Chestnut
street, where Colonel Ludlow, the chief
the water department. was waiting for
car. Let me tell you something which
happened a few days ago 10 friend of
mine, whose large establishment con-
suEles a great deal of water and who has
frequent favors to ask of the water de
partment. He recently visited the chiefs
office and found Colonel Ludlow, as usual,
very polite. My friend. before preferring
all his requests, took a $50 bank bill from
his pocket and passed it over to the chief,
who examined it curiously for moment
and than srread it upon the desk before
him. He did not utter a word at the
moment. but when his visitor was about
to go away, said:

oh. that's to buy cigars for the boys,
was the careless reply.
Yes said Colonel Ludlow: then
suppose that you are fond of the weed
yourself?'
MY friend said that he enjoyed nothing
better than q good cigar.
Then allow me, said the colonel.
suaVely, to insist upon you trying one of
these, moving TO a secretary and taking
down a box of Henry Clay specials.

fumes or gases are generated in lighting
will be absorbed into the first cigar. This

and polite motion. and said: Permit me,

startled friend, whose eyes had now
become almost as big as dinner plates.

managed to get light He kept his eyes

PRESIDENT WOODRUFF TO GOV
ERNOR WELLS.

The Herald has received from Cover
nor Wells copy of a communication
from the first presidency of the Nor
mon church to himself defining the at
titude of the church on the war and
more particularly on the question OF
enlistment. 1t is a patriotic letter and
the spirit that pervades it is that
which would be expected from the lead
ers of a fearing, Christian people.
President Woodruff and his counsellors
say they trust the citizens of Utah
who are Latter-day Saints will be
found ready to respond with alacrity to
this call which is made upon our
state"
Surely every citizen of Utah will echo
the sentiments with which the letter
closes:
Trusting that you will be eminently
successful in raising Utah's proper
quota of volunteers, and praying that
the Almighty will protect our nation in
the hour of trial and assist US in our
battles for humanity and right, we re-
main" etc

PRIZES AND PRIZE MONEY.

AS the war begins and captures at
sea are made. much interest is taken
in the question of what disposition is
made Of prizes taken. All this is pro-
vided for by congress and is to be
found in the revised statutes. What
shall be done with prizes is better and
more succinctly expressed in the provi-
sions of the statutes than it can other
wise be expressed, and we give them
herewith:
Section $3.50. The net proceeds of all
property condemned as prize shall,
when the prize was of superior or equal
force to the vessel or vessels making
the capture. be decreed to the captors;
and when of inferior force. one-half
shall be decreed TO the United States
and the other half 10 the captors, ex-
cept that in case of privateers and let
tiers Of marque. the whole shall be de-
creed to the captors, unless it shall be
otherwise provided in the commissions
issued to such vessels.
Sec. 1851. All prize money adjudged
to the captors shall be distributed in
the following proportions:
First-To the commanding officer of
a fleet or squadron, one-tWentieth part
Of all prize money awarded to any YES
sci or vessels under his immediate COM
mand. ---..-.---
Second-To the commanding officer
of a division of a fleet or squadron, on
duty under the orders of the comman-
der-in- chief of such fleet or squadron,
a sum equal to one-fiftieth of any prize
money awarded to a vessel of such di-
vision for a capture made while under
his command, such fiftieth part to be
deducted from the moiety due to the
United States. if there be such moiety,
otherwise for the amount awarded to
the captors. but such fiftieth part shall
not be in addition to any share which

The Baltimore Sun says the colored
people of that city are frightened near
" out of their wits over the war. They
seem to think that some special dire
disaster is awaiting them. The Sun
ends its account of their state of mind
with this story:
A tall. we'll built colored man, who
came from Virginia to be a servant in
the family of naval lieutenant who
makes his home in Baltimore, has al
ways prided himself upon his great
height. He is about G feet inches, but

the subject that he was feet f. The
other day friend of the family visited
the house and, meeting the servant,
said to him in jest: We'll, John, the
president has ordered out a regiment

bravery: Lord. sir, that don't apply

CONFIDENCE CT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.

1t is true that so far as her resources
are concerned Spain is much better
prepared for war than are the United
States. 1t is true that she has an active
army nearly six times as large as that
of the United States. 1t is also true
that she can mobilize her reserves very
much more rapidly than this country
can muster in volunteers. Such being
the condition of affairs. it is matter
of more or less establishment to the
nations of Europe that this country
should enter upon a war with such a
light heart, especially when it may
possibly involve other countries.
In the present war Spain starts in
with all her military resources fully
developed, while the United States
start in with their military resources
practically undeveloped, untouched, so
to speak AS the war progresses
Spain's military strength will be con-
tinually waning, while that of this
country will be continually increasing.
What will the consequence be? That
Spain viii be crushed; the slow but
sure process of attrition alone will do
this.
To the military nations of Europe,
the confidence of the American people
appears to be nothing but faulty, but
it is not. Over-confidence is a very
bad thing, for it ignores many essen
tial things and underestimates others;
but the confidence of the American
people is based on knowledge of the
resources of their country and their
ability to utilize and turn them to adj
vantage. Their energy and native in
telligence also make them more re-
sourceful than any other people. And
all this is recognized by the nations of
Europe, and it is one reason why they
dread a conflict with this country;
they do not know what are it's powers
of development in all directions, though
they know they are great and that they
are quickly brought into play. I'm
nation that the United States
are, yet the greatest military nations
do not care to provoke them to con-
hict.
