TWO Famous Misers.

OF William and John Scott, afterward
Lord Stowell and Lord Eidon, Lord John
Russell used to tell with infinite zest a
story which he declared to be highly char
acteristic of the methods by which they
made their fortunes ana position, says the
Outlook. When they were young men at
the bar. having had a stroke of profess
sonal luck, they determined to celebrate
the occasion by having a dinner at the
tavern and going TO the play. When it
was time to call for the reckoning William
Scott dropped a guinea. He and his broth
er searched for it in vain, and came to
the conclusion that it had fallen between
the boards of the uncarpeted floor.
This is a bad job" said William, I'VE
must give up the play"
stop a Bit" said John, II know a trick
worth two of that" and called the wait

Betty" said he, we've dropped TWO
guineas. See if you can find them" Betty
went down on her hands and knees and
found the one guinea, which had rolled
under the fender.
That's a very good girl, Betty" said
John Scott, pocketing the coin, land when
you find the other you can keep it for
your trouble" And the prudent brothers
went with light hears to the play, and 50
eventually to the bench and the wool

The report Of Gen. Boynton relative to
the sickness which has prevailed at Camp
Thomas. Chickamauga, makes one point
clear. ana that is that much of the fever
that prevailed there was due largely to
unsanitary conditions. and that the officers
OF the different regiments were response
bic for these conditions. He calls particu-
lar attention to the Eighth New York
Regiment. in which there was a great deal
Of fever, and for which fever the war de-
partment has been blamed by the New
York officials and newspapers. From what
Gen. Boynton says the officers of that
regiment are to blame for the sickness
which prevailed among its men, He says
that the camp ground Of the regiment
was about always in a most unsanitsry
condition, and the inference from his re
port is that the officers made no effort
to enforce sanitary regulations. The con-
sequence was that typhoid fever and other
diseases prevailed among the men to an
alarming extent.
The war department should not of
course. he held responsible for the neglect
and incompetency Of the officers of a regi-
ment. Neither the President nor the
secretary of War had anything to do with
the appointment of the officers of The
Eighth New York, or any other state regi-
ment. The officers were appointed by the
governors of the various states. Gov.
BLACK appointed the officers of the Eighth
New York, and he is responsible for their
failure to look after the health of their
men
At Camp Thomas the government issued
certain regulations for the preservation Of
the health of the camp. The officers of
the different regiments were expected to
enforce them. 1t was their duty to en-
force them. The officers of some of the
regiments did their duty faithfully and
the result was that their men suffered
very little from sickness. On the other
hand. the officers who were careless or in
different in respect to their duty had their
company and regimental hospitals fun all
the time
Their was no way in which these delin-
quent officers could be made to enforce
the prescribed sanitary regulations in their
camps. except by the adoption of harsh
measures. and the adoption OF such meas
ures so soon after the modifying of the
volunteers would have called out loud pro-
tests from the Governors of many of the
states and from senators and representa-
tives Volunteers cannot be dealt with
as regulars-at least, in the beginning of
a war. The government was to blame if
it failed to provide well-equipped hOspi-
tails proper food for the sick and a suf-
hcient number of competent doctors and
nurses In these respects Gen. Boynton
says there has been no reasonable ground
for complaint If there has not, then mucn
of the criticism to which the war depart
ment has been subjected. as far as the
camp at Chickamagua is concerned. has
been without reason.

Here Is one of Robert Crawfords stories
about Uruguay: Two men surprised a
farmer and his wife in their little hut
while It was broad daylight. The man was
seized and bound and Ihe two villains
proceeded to torture him to make him dis
close the hiding place of his hoard. The
wife begged and pleaded as the horrors
increased, the man proving obdurate. Fin
ally she sad she would tell them where
the treasure was II they would follow
her. One of the two accordingly went over
to the chest in the corner with her. She
opened it, fumbled about inside of il for a
moment until she found what she was
looking for. In another moment the thief
at her side was dead, and his fellow COW
cred by a large revolver in the hands
of a small but eager woman of the people.
He got away before she could quite make
up her mind to shoot him, too. Then the
husband was released and the neighbors,
some miles away called in. Word was
finally taken to the central police au-
thority of the state; the officers came,
viewed the dead thief-and identified him
as their attorney general. 1t is not I'M
likely" Mr.. Crawford adds, that his ac-
complete was the judge of the Criminal
Court"

Better Times for the south.

MI. Nathaniel Baxter Jr., president of
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company. has given to the Nashville
American an interview in which he pre-
diets that following the conclusion of
peace with Spain there will be an enor-
nous increase in the business of the
South. To a certain extent this will grow
out of the war; but it must be borne in
mind that for several years the business
of the whole country, and of the South
particularly, has been conducted upon a
hard-pan basis. Indeed, in many in
stances there have been deficiencies of
stocks and a curtailment of trading below
what might for convenience be called the
legitimate level. Now, however, CONNER
cial confidence has been restored and the
reflex action will follow 1.-THE vacuum"
says he, (which has been created by the
economies of several years needs TO be
filed and the ability to do this is pres
ent and a, hand'
BESIDES this vacuum" in the home
trade, new market possibilities have been
opened to US by the results of the war;
and much of the trade of these new mar
kets-Cuba and Porto Rico-should be Sc
cured by the South. The islands will need
machinery for the rehabilitation of their
plantations, mills, railroads and shops;
they will need coal, and iron, and -four.
and meat products, and building material
in large quantities. All of these things
are produced by the South as cheaply as
can be done anywhere else in the world,
~
competition with the world and take or
ders. From a geographical point of view
the Southern states have an advantage
in the West Indian markets. The sea-
ports of the South and those of the ISL
ands are separated only by short dis
tances. On the islands are two millions
of people who do no manufacturing, and
in the southern part of the United States
are people who produce and manufacture
the very articles which the islanders want.
What is there to prevent the growing up
of a great trade between the two peoples?
Nothing, unless it be the apathy of our
own tradesmen and transportation com
panies.
How are these new markets to be open
ed up to the South? Mr.. Baxter clearly
shows the way. THE, best way, undoubt-
kdlys''4say ne, ''%oif1d be fofs The railroads
k6' establsh regular sailings. (of steamers),
as transportation is the first requisite"
He gives the impression in his interview
that he thinks the Southern and the Louis
willie and Nashville railroads may be
expected to put steamships on a line or
lines to Cuba and Porto Rico. Ships put
on by these companies would probably
sail from Mobile or New orleans and
Norfolk. Savannah is more conveniently
situated than either of those ports, and it
has railway systems running directly into
the coal and iron districts of Alabama
the lumber regions of Georgia, Alabama
and the Carolinas, and the provisions dis
tricts of Tennessee and the West We
think. with Mr. Baxter, that there is an
era Of big trade with the West Indies
shortly ahead. What are our railroad
people going to do towards turning at
least part of the tide through the port
of Savannah?

a Difference.

Is there any significance in the fact that
the Wisconsin Democrats, in their state
convention on Wednesday, did not con-
denim the policy of expansion and made
no mention of william j. Bryan, while
| the New Hampshire Democrats, in their
state convention, on the same day, con-
demned that policy and commended Mr.
Bryan?
We assume that the Wisconsin Demo
Gratis are in favor, rather than otherwise
of annexing all the territory We have cap
tured from Spain. and that that IS the
reason they made no mention Of MIR
Bryan. who is understood 10 be against a
policy OF territorial expansion. The New
Hampshire Democrats, being in accord
with Mr. Bryan in the matter of annex
ing far distant territory, expressed their
admiration for and their confidence in
him.
The expansionsts are striving to create
the impression that there is scarcely any
sentiment against insisting upon possess
sion of the Philippines, but those who
read the newspapers and follow the reso-
lutions adopted by political Conventions
closely know that there is a powerful SEN
tment against permanently occupying
those islands.
The arguments in favor of the policy Of
annexing far distant territory and having
colonies are based on sentiment and the
belief that colonies would furnish US mar
kets for our manufacture But why, for
mere sentiment, should We burden our
-o-..-.,,..tj,.1ttfgs yO11l1
greatly lessen our ability to develop the
magnificent territory which we now have
within the limits Of the United States?
As for trade. il is by no means certain
that the profit from the whole of the
trade of the Philippines would anywhere
near equal the expense of governing and
protecting those islands. Indeed, there
expense would be far greater than the
profit Spain has been made poor by her
colonies and her people have been cor
rupted. She would be far richer to-day,
and there would be a stronger moral tone
among her people, if the Philippines had
never been in her power. What reason
have we for thinking that we shall be
more EuGteSSlul with llG lllllpIlliltS AlldAl
Spain has been? We are, it is true, a
superior people-that is. we are richer.
more patriotic and have in a more marked
gree the sturdy qualities which are IN
separeble from a great people-but there
is nothing to justify the conclusion that
we have virtues that would enable US 10
Withstand the corrupting influences of
such colonies as the Philippines
would be- We find it difficult
to keep our own government and the gov
ernments of our states, counties and cities
free from corruption. Is it likely that we
should be more successful in providing
honest governments for distant colonies?
Those who think that this question of
territorial expansion is not going TO play
an important part In our politics are mis-
taken. Il is question about which the
people have not thought a great deal yet,
but they are beginning. to think about 1t
and the more they think the less inclined
they win be to approve of the policy of
taking under our protection 100000 or
more of senni-savage people.
