THE OLD ARMY HARDTACK.

How dear to my heart the wartime me-
mentos,
I've cherished in ry of sorrows and Joys,
In the days when tramped through the dust
of Virginia,
Or splashed through its mud with the rest of
the boys;
There's a rusty old saber I never will part
with
A faded old cap and Jacket of blue.
A battered canteen and a haversack holding
Some squares Of the bareback all had to
chew
The iron bound bareback!
The moss-covered hardtacki
The old army bareback all had to chewi
There bareback from wars of past gen.
Which remained unconsumed till about SO;
1t rumored that some, which defed masti-
cation,
Was marked Vera Cruz or was lettered
'B. c."
What triumph was this for the skill of the
Indestructible product, defying times toothl
But it could not resist the assaults of our
grinders,
The grinders we had in the days of our youth.
The Bunker Hill bareback!
The 1912 hardtacki
The old army bareback we ate in our youth!
viands,
And never again shall we veterans feel
Such a zest in our lives as way back in the
When bareback sufhced to create square
meal
Though now we may dine at more sumptuous
tables,
We'd gladly exchange all the dainties they
yield
For the hearty enjoyment. the youthful diges-
That seasoned the bareback we ate in the
field.
The bullet proof bareback!
The iron-clad hardtacki
The old army bareback ate IN the field.

MONKEYING WITH FATHER TIME.

T HE excellent lady who in rhythmic pathos pc
ttloned Time to turn backward in his. flight
probably did under the impulse of poesy and
without an idea that Time would do anything OF the
sort. The Examiner is different. When it wants
Time to jump backward forward or sidewise it does
not ask his consent but makes him jump.
Santiago fell at 3 o'clock in the afternoon General
ShafteI thinks. The Examiner boasts that it bull
etined the information o'clock in the morning.
How it could have done this without going into the
realm OF prophecy where it has often been before to
its damage, little hard to figure OUT There is the
easy and natural solution that has lied more,
but matter of fact the bulletin in evidence
with the Lromptness claimed for it. 1t dis
play announcing event which had not yet occurred,
and the transgressor has the pleasing nerve brag
about the deception.
The difference in time between Santiago and San
Francisco is 3 hours minutes and 50 seconds. To
simplify matters let this difference be regarded for the
present rs exactly three hours. Then at Santiago
8 o'clock San Francisco was hearing the stroke of
high But taking into account the parts of the
hour, at Santiagos o'clock it in San Francisco
precisely 50 minutes $500 seconds past II. This is
enough Sd minutes to be considered really so.
When time is being monkeyed with we can afford
for convenience to throw aside the small fraction of
a minute In other words, the Examiner bulletined
the fall of Santiago 81 minutes before Santiago had
fallen. There must be on the staff the seventh of
a seventh of gun, both born with caul seeing
visions and dreaming dreams.
AS to the message from Santiago, there were neces-
sarily delays. These calculations have been made
without considering this possibility. It is hardly
reasonable to suppose that the was on the wire
as it reached the understanding of those who
beheld the white f1ag that in the vicissitudes of
transmission it did experience an occasional de-
lay Yet give to the Examiner the benefit of the
doubt. If the was an hour in reaching this
country, instead Of coming in the twnkling of an
eye, the Examiner lie gains in magnitude We do not
press the point Toward the errihg and representa-
tves of the genus Mephts humane instincts counsel
kindly correction rather than rude Bullets There is
hope of reforming the Examiner, but it might be
taught to work out its fabrications on mathematical
basis and thus once in while escape exposure
If we have misjudged the yellow sheet in this In
stance there will be hesitancy In saying so later
We think it lied, and thus frankly affirm; but per-
haps Hearst sneaked up on the beleaguered city and
together with Headsman Lame took it himself thus
scoring scoop the American army and laying the
foundation for acquttng his bulletin board of having
been too soon

why not a vice-admiral, and If, as report
ed, this great official honor is to be held
land operations, why should an equal in
centive not be given the sea officers in
trusted with the fortunes of the fleet?
No reward can be too great for our sue
cessful officers, but, above all, let there
be fair play. At this moment the navy
is asking Congress to make its pay equal,
grade for grade, to that given the army.
Many sinister rumors are afioat that this
bill will pass the House, but be killed in
the Senate. This will be a grievous wrong,
and will send our seamen into battle no
less loyal or courageous, but. with the
calling certainty that after all republics
can be ungrateful.-New York Herald.

THE HAWAIIAN COMMISSION.

T is proposed that the Chamber of Commerce en-
terrain the members of the Hawaiian Commission
as they pass through this city en- route to Homo
lulu.
This is we'll California hospitality Is Of worldwide
repute and its established reputation should be
tanned.
The members of the commission all favored the
policy which, when accomplished, has given them the
position they hold They do not come to US needy
large is appropriated out OF the public treasury
for their benefit The rendering of public hospitality
to them should have among its objects an impression
of the interest of California the work they have
hand
The three American Commissioners, Cullom, Hit
and Morgan are in an environment which prevents
experimental knowledge of the industrial problem
which is presented in Asatic coolie competition with
white labor.
Freeport, the principal town in Mr.. Hits district,
probably never saw an Asiatc cooe even in transit
for it lies off the trunk line for Pacific Coast travel
In Senator Culloms town. Springfield, there is one
Chinese washhouse, but its principal patrons
groes and its competition is not felt AS for Senator
Morgan, environment and experience count for moth
ing, and none Of them will get any knowledge of our
labor situation at banquet which will be devoted
gush and Boosting. Will some tell them that
California asks something for all that she gives?
She is denied the right to have of her regi
ments sent to Hawaii garrison duty. That is
given to New York, and soldiers transported $500
miles the continent to go to Honolulu, while
California troops rest in camp shipped to hard
duty and death in the poison fens of the Philippines
AS the matter now stands California is called to make
all the sacrifices required for the benefit of Hawaii
and gets nothing in return These Commissioners
should be told that we want something.
We demand the prohibition of all
Asiatic coOlie immi gratiOn to Hawaii.
we demand the deportation of all
coolie labor now i'm the islands.
We demand the extension thereto of the
labor laws of this country, with the
eight-hour day.
We demand that the sugar planter of
Hawaii be put equality with the
sugar planter of California.
The interests involved not felt in Illinois, which
State has two members of this commission, nor in
Alabama, which has one member. They inter
ests to which Hawaii, with two members of the
commission, desructively antagonizes California
with member at all.
We have been delivered over bound hand and foot
to competitors who live on coolie labor But
while are bound not gagged, and therefore
should not leave Our demands unvoiced Much has
been said about cooe competition in manufactures
Unless the coolies in Hawaii deported we will see
that competition up in Honolulu under the Ameri-
can flag and the American tariff The opportunity to
do this is why Mr. Thurston thinks
Hawaii excellent place for men with money Cali
fornia demands that with money be put on an
equality to the wages they pay to labor here and
in Hawaii

He furnishes tickets for the transporta-
ton of Mediterranean people to the old
country, accepting a compensation for
his labors commissions which are always
diminutive, but pretty nearly always just.
His friends know that this occupation is
remunerative and they do all they can to
steer the Europe-bound passenger in the
way of Fugazi. A few nights ago Fugazi,
his breath leaving his lungs in painting ex-
pirations, rushed up to the desk Of the
night clerk of the Palace and, in a most
expressive manner wanted TO know in
much less time than minute where T.
K. Stateler was. Stateler, it seems, had
promised Fugazi a bundle of prospective
passengers and the latter was itching
at the palms to pack that bundle off. Flu
gazi's impatience developed into a frenzy.
Where was that tri1er Stateler and why
was he not there. In the midst of these
mental Cummings, the telephone bell rang
and Fugazi was called to the phone.
Stateler had called him up. This is the
way the negotiations went:
Stateler: Hello, FugaZi I have the
whole bunch, but before you get them you
must divvy up on the commission propo-
sition. You can bet your sweet Italian life
that I am not going to work my feet off
for pure affection
Fugazi: "Oh, that's all right, will give
you a good percentage. You know I
wouldn't cheat you for the world. 1 will
give you fifth Of what I get for the
deal"
stateler: What do you take me for?
You must think I am good thing. I
want a half or you don't get them
Fugazi: ooh. you break my heart, but
I guess 1t will have to be- All right.
will give you a half. Now tell me, Statty.
old man, who are they and how MANY in
the gang"
Stateler: There are 10000 in the party,
and they want to go to Spain right
away"
There are things that would better be
left unsaid.

Mcguire accept the nomination of the Populists he
will have to indorse this plank. The platform con-
cludes by saying: "And to the support of this plat
form we pledge each and every candidate nominated
by this convention" Furthermore if Mcguire &C
cept the Populist nomination and the Democrats in
dorse him they will ndorse this part of the Popust
platform. Thus the Democracy will, in addition to
becoming Mcguire party become single tax party.
SO after all single taxation is issue. How do the
