RENEWED HOPE OF PEACE.
What viii be the final outcome, it is
too early to say, but the aspect of af-
fairs certainly is considere bly, more pa
cific and sufficient to renew the hope of
the president in solution of the Gu
ban question satisfactorily u the Amer
lean people and achieved without blood
shed. The details remain to be worked
out but il is expected that between
now and Monday a clearer light will be
thrown on the future by action at Mad
rid. of which one important feature at
least is the declaration Of an armistice
by the queen regent of Spain. This
armistice, II is expected, will lead to
ultimate independence of Cuba from
Spanish rule. but by what intermediary
steps perhaps the governing powers do
not at this time know. Much, it is

The powers of Europe, material and

their influences on the government of

course in view of the circumstances
and sentiments of the two great ma

the assemblage at the British embassy

been done abroad and with the desire
of these who accredited them to Wash

The aggregate capital, common
and preferred, of the above cor
porations is $4l6,0 900, and the
enhancement from the lowest point
of twenty years ago is 1896, 900, 900,
which is the approximate value on
farms of 10,000,000 bales of cot
ton. Of course, in order to make
the comparison fair, we must al
low for the great losses made in
the securities of roads like Atchi-
son, North Pacific and Reading !;
but we should also have to allow
for the princely sums gained in Sc
curities like the stock of the great
Calumet and Hecla copper mine,
the par value of which is $25 and
the present value $555. And then
there is the Standard Oil Compa-
ny, and its afflicted concers, which
would raise the total to a fabulous
figure.
In the North and West a shrewd
man of business has only had to
judiciously invest his savings, and
he soon became millionair in the
South, the merchants profis have
too often been engulfed in the
shrinkage of the securities he held.
Under all the circumstances, the
wonder is that the South has held
its own so well in the race.

A Terrible Stampede.
Three Thousand Mules and Hor-
ses Thunder Through the
Camp.

Washington, D. g., June 18th.
"A special from Tampa says:
''At 10 o'clock tonight 5000
horses and mules broke from their
corrals, and stampeded through
the camps of General Carpenters
brigade. 1t was dark and the ex-
element was so great in the Dis
trict of Columbia camp it was i'm
possible to learn if any men were
hurt. The panic among the men
was terrible. Officers tried to get
their companies into line, but the
army of wild horses made that i'm
possible. Many men began shoot
ing at the excited animals, but this
only excited them more. 1t seems
impossible to stop the stampede to-
night. The horses seemed to be
attracted by the tents and they
rushed through the brigade of
three regiments and then back
again, taking a different course
each time. They have already
destroyed army tents, kitchen and
campaign pasaphernalia.
1t is not known what started the
animals on their wild rush. Taps
had just sounded in all the camps
and the bands had played their
good-nights. The men were hard
ly asleep when a loud cracking
like the firing of Gatling guns
startled them. 1t was the break
ing down of the corral fence, a
high wooden affair. In the next
moment the infuriated horses rush
ed into the New York camp, which
was nearest the break in the fence.
The rush sounded like a thunder
storm. The New York camp SEN
tinels began to yell like mad.
''Call out the guard" but it was
useless, as the animals were then
rushing over everything in their
path. In half an hour the camps
had been stampeded three times,
and there seemed to be no hope Of
driving the beasts away from the
breach.
Forty men were mounted by
O'Clock and they were able to check
them little or at least to steer the
horses from the camp"

1t is now a settled policy on the
part of the administration of Pres
ident McKinly to enlist as many
negroes in the army as possible.
This policy is doubtless based up
on the fact that the negro is prac-
tically an immune SO far as yellow
feveris concerned, and that they
are by nature, better calculated to
stand the effects of hard campaign
ing in tropical countries. The
regular army officers and those
that commanded negro regiments
during the war, are all of the opin-
ion that under strict discipline
they make effective fighters, and
as the soldiers of Spain are not the
best in the world, and compare
lively few soldiers will be requir-
ed, it may be well to try the ex
pertinent. However, there should
be none but white officers, as their
efficiency will depend entirely up
on the manner in which they are
led and handled, and the expert
ment has not progressed sufficient
ly to trust them with positions, in
which incompetency might lead to
disastrous results. Five regiments
of colored infantry are now being
organized which, with the four
regiments in the regular army,
will make nine regiments of color
ed troops in the fId. Their record
win be watched with great inter
est by the country at large, and
particularly by the people of the
South. Shreveport Journal.

Causes Affecting Progress.

There is little progress in a conn-
try without prosperity. and the
common causes which affect pros
perity are war, pestiIence and
famine, either of which are in a
majority of cases unavoidable.
At least they are considered the
Christening affections bestowed for
benlhcent purposes, and conse-
quently a check to the progress
and prosperity of those upon
whom they come. But the great
est cause affecting the progress,
peace and prosperity of a nation
is not to be found in a common or
general, but in the most universal
of all causes, which is bad govern
ment; the worst forms of which
are not to be found 50 much in the

The Comedy of EeepubEfcanlsrn

The first important Republican
State convention, that of Ohio,
met Wednesday. The body was
wholly controlled by the represen-
tatives of the administration, In
fact, Hanna might as we'll have
written the platform at Washing
ton, named the ticket, and pro-
muIgated the result in the form of
personal ordinance, without de-
tracing from the representative
character of the work.-Times-
Democrat.
Is there any thing wrong about
that! If so, what about Foster
controlling the Shreveport conven-
ton Dec, '95, then the State Leg
islature, then the Constitutional
convention, now the State Legis-
lature again, and next year the
State Democratic convention again.
Hanna amt in it with Murphy
J. No man ever did dominate a
political party as completely as
Murphy does the Democratic par
ty of Louisiana,
But Hanna lays no claim to pu-
rity IN politics, nor does his party
claim to be the "chiefest" party of
the people. While our Murphy
j. and his party stontly claim all
this and more, and we have no
doubt Foster even claims to be q
white man and a gentleman, but
we've heard Democrats dispute
both.
The I'd, claims thusly
'The elephant with Hanna as
tride his neck may continue to ty- |
pity the Republican party. The |
elephant is a docile beast, and goes |
whittier he is driven"
The elephant with Hanna astride
his neck will look quite as well as
an old tough rooster with Foster

iocile bird, but he doesn't always
crow when he has a tail feather

Labor is one of the greatest ele-
ments of society-the great sub
stantial interest on which we all
stand. No feudal service, or pre-
dial toll, or the irksome drudgery
by one race of mankind subjected
to another ; but labor, intelligent,
thinking and acting for itself, earn
ing its own wages, accumulating
those wages into capital, educating
childhood, maintaining worship,
claiming the right of elective fran
chise, and helping to uphold the
great fabric of the State. That is
American labor and all my sym
pathies are with it. and my voice,
