The Cavalry Regiment.

The sabers clank'd the men look d
young and healthy and strong; the cleo
trio tramping Of SO many horses on the
hard road. and the gallant bearing, fine
seat and bright faced appearance Of a
thousand and more handsome young
American men, were SO good to see An
hour later another troop went by,
smaller in numbers, perhaps 800 men.
They, too, look'd like serviceable men,
eampaigners used to field and fight.
July 3-This forenoon, for more than
an hour, again long strings of cavalry,
several regiments, very fine men and
horses four or five abreast. saw them
in Fourteenth street, coming in town
from north. Several hundred extra
horses, some Of the mares with colts,
trotting along. (Appear'd to be num-
Der of prisoners too). How inspiring al
ways the cavalry regiments. Our men
are generally well mounted, feel good,
are young, gay on thes saddle, their
blankets In roll behind them, their sa-
bers clanking at their sides. This noise
and movement and the tramp of many
horses hoofs has curious effect upon

Whitman.

Unworthy CubanS.

1t may not be that the Cubans about
Santiago are representative, but if they are
it will be long while before Cuba will be
qualified for self-government. Uncle Sam
will find that he has a dull pupil on his
hands when he undertakes giving lessons in
free government. Harper's Weekly Of
last week sizes up the Cubans editorially
as follows: 1--WE are beginning to believe
that we are mistaken as to the character Of
the Cuban insurgents that instead OF being
worthy and heroic people struggling for
their liberty and for selfgovernment, their
soldiers in the field at least are worthless
and half barbarous, ready to take what we
are ready to give for nothing, willing to
stand passively and cowardly by while
American soldiers are shot down in what
they regard as their own cause, and eager
to claim the fruits OF our victories to which
they have shamefully neglected to contrib
ute. The Spaniards whom they have shot
at most eagerly were the poor victims Of
Cervera's fleet as they swan ashore from
their wrecked ships. On these helpless

Bismarck Dead.

Karl Otto Won Bismark, Prince Won Bis
marck- -Schonhausen, died last Saturday at
II P. NJ. at the advanced sge OF S3 years.
A writer in the Springfield Republican has
this to say Of the great statesman:
Bismarck, the unifer of Germany, the
creator of the first truly German empire,
world changing statesman Of the fist
rank, and the greatest since Napoleon, is
dead. The world has not yet ceased to
echo the memories of the greatest Briton
when the greatest Teuton departs from the
scene of his long labors, extended in both
cases into old age, and yet laid aside long
enough for each one to have become part
of history made instead Of one of its chief
makers.
Bismarck was a typical Teuton, physi-
cally, mentally and morally. OF magnif-
cent frame, capable of standing any ex-
cesses, drinking bottle for bottle with the
stoutest drinkers in Germany, and ending
quite as sober as be began; eating with
corresponding generosity, and continuing
these practices even to the last, so that
two days before he died, when he was
g dietirg e." his bill of fare included beef,
eggs, caviare, beer and champagne capap
BILE of spending 13 hours in the saddle
without rest, as he did at Sadowa and at
Sedan; of unwe aried activity, whether on
the battlefield or in riding bis estates,
where he was farmer, brewer, distiller,
manufacturer, as we'll as landlord; a great
hunter also--he disregarded all the lmita-
tions of bodily nature like one of the
Baresarks of old, his far ancestors, before
ever they settled in the Pomeranian
marches and gained their name as defend
ers of the mark or march of the Biese
river. His mind matched his body. it
was simple and direct in its operations,
and ever clear, perspicuous and potent in
its ruling ideas. He began lite in rude
and roy stering fashion, but out of his
burschen wildness, his neglect Of studies,
his disrespect Of authorities, two or three
central principles emerged as his creed,
and were never changed or modified: God
rules; the king of Prussia gains his title
from God; the people are the subjects of
the king; therefore, from the king as from
God come all their privileges, and to him
as to God are fixed their duties; Germany
is one by race, Germany should have one
sovereign; their energies are wasted IN
these principalitles and dukedoms; Ger
mony must be one in empire. Evidence is
abundant that these were the concretions
of his thought, and with that thought
developed with singular intensity and with
out pause of doubt the purpose Of his life
1t rested with him to fulfil decree of Gcd
and like Martin Luther, whom in fact be
greatly resembled in natural traits Of body
and mind, he faced every emergency witt
an absolutely undaunted and unchanged
spirit.

War and Peace.

Spain has our terms of peace. Wha
will she do with them? The administra
ton expects reply by today. While the
terms have not been made public officially
it is pretty well understood that they are it
substance as follows:
The withdrawal of all Spanish military
and naval forces from Cuba and the relin-
quishment of Spanish sovereignty in that
island similar action with regard to Porto
Rico, with the additional provision that
Spain shall cede that island to the United
States for financial obligations contracted
by Spain in behalf of Cuba and Porto Rico,
which are to be held to include all out
lying possessions of Spain in the Western
Hemisphere; the United States to main
tain control over all other territory where
the American flag has been raised; the
surrender of Manila and a sufficient area
Of adjacent land to enable the United
States to afford it adequate safety from
hostile attacks, and an immediate compli-
ance with these conditions.
In substance the United States demand
that before any terms of peace shall be
considered, Spanish authority in the West
ern Hemisphere must be relinquished,
leaving Cuba in the bands Of this govern
ment as a trustee and absolutely ceding
Porto Rico, Manila and part of the island
of Luzon and the Ladrone islands must be
turned over to this country for future dis
position then the general subject of peace
terms will be.considered with reference to
the dispositi n to be made of all Spanish
territory in the far east. The United
States do not agree to let Spain have any
part of the Philippines, nor make any
promises whatsoever. In fact, the DISPOSE
ton of the administration is to retain con-
troll of everything that has been gained as
a result OF Dewey's victory to offset SPANS
inability to pay cash indemnity.

A decision of the New Hampshire
supreme court at Manchester last weel
caused CONSERVATION generally. The case
was that of State VS.. Jackman, which was
carried up on an appeal from a police
court decision in Merrimac county sustain
ing local ordinance, requiring abutters to
clear snow arc ice from sidewalks. Any
such ordinance was declared unconstitu-
tional. 1t is reported that the decision
was placed on the ground, first that the
defendant is no more bound to remove the
snow from the sidewalk than he is to re-
move it from the roadbed or any other
part of the highway; also, that the ordi-
nance requiring abutters to clear snow,
etc.. from the sidewalks is unconstitutional
because it would compel unequal taxation
and would involve the taking Of private
property for the use Of the public without
compensation. This decision is said to be
directly opposite to decisions in severa
other states.
