Speaking about smooth men in
their business" remarked q Kansas
drummer, HOne Of the smOothest that
has come under my observation is a
-four merchant at Edgar. He let the
story get out that while STOPPING over
his flour bin a $50 diamond ring had
slipped of his finger into the -four. He
appeared to be greatly exercised over
the loss, got a notice in the local paper,
but finally announced with a sigh that
he would have to git it up; that the
ring was in the -four somewhere, that
he supposed it would turn up in a sack
of -four, but he had no idea what one.
Well, you ought to have seen the boom
that guileless man had in the -four
trade. For the next week he had to
hire extra help to ill sacks out OF that
bin. One man who never bought q
sack from him before, came in and
laid ia q winters supply. And the
smooth merchant whistled softly as he
filed the sacks, and winked his other
other eye"

carrying of half grown steers and full
grown children and just let itself be
shot. Now if someone will I'LL up that

survivors Of the Sherman brigade
are holding their twenty.ninth an.

State, John Sherman, who organized
the brigade, came over from Mans
field to day to preside at the reunion
This afternoon he delivered al ad-
dress bsfore a large audience. In
course OF his remarks, after referring
to his recent visit to Alaska, Mr..
Sherman said:
The vast extent ard compass Of
our country should satisfy our PEG
pie and prevent them from extend
ing their domain to distant lands
possessions difficult to control and
impossible to defend. l regret to
notice a disposition in congress to
reach out for outside territory. This
ambition for occupation Of territory
has been the ruin of Greece, Rome
and the great nations Of Asia in an
cient times and of Spain, Austria and
Italy IN modern times.
And now the United States is in
more danger of similar causes than
all others combined. The greed Of
territory and the attempt to rule it
lost Great Britain the great body Of
what is now the United States of
America. II We can be content With
our vast continental possessions We
can dispense with the islands OF the
sea. There is no room for them in
our system Of states. Their people
do not speak our language. Friend
ly trade relations can be easily ar
ranged, but American domination, il
attempted, will lead to interminable
evils"

TWO EDWARDS ARE SCORED.
Senator Daniel Talks OF War.-DecIares
Generals Blancs and August Had No
Right to Resign in the Face of
CaoituIaton,

OapltuIdl|On'
Washington, D. c., Aug. IS
Senator Daniel of Virginia last night
discussed the war situation with
animation, expressing the greatest
satisfaction at the exploits of the
army and navy, and was particularly
gratifiei because Generals Wheeler
and Butler, two well-known confed-
crates, had been afforded an oppor-
tuDity to show to the world to how
complete an extent the animosities
Of the civil war had been obliterated.
"But when we come to look at the
other side" said the senator, at is
pitiable, too, to believe that in not
one instance have tie Spanish proved
worthy in battle. In war of three
months there were two battles that
will be remembered so long as war
is interesting to mankind.
Nothing could be much worse to
soldiers than the report of the at
tempted resignation of Gen. Blanco
in the face of the surrender of his
forces. A military officer, by all the
rules of war, is bound not to do
that. Regardless of the plea of in
subordination, it sugg ests, General
BIance was bound in honor and
duty, as the commander o: tie
Spanish troops 10 Cuba, to stay with
| them, whatever their fortune.
BLANco AND AUGUSTA CUTTERS.
"He should not have undertaken
| to make their humiliation the greater
by seeking to run away from it. BY
no means; he should have shared
their fate like man. What would
have been thought Of General Lee
if, at Appomsttox, he had mounted
his horse and run away from Gen.
Grant, leaving his heroic army to
surrender alone, without a com
mander2
August seems to BE- another Of
the same kind. He stayed with his
army until it was in distress and was
about to suffer the adverse fate Of
war. Then, instead of bearing the
disgrace with them and leaving it te
his foe to treat him with the consid
Grafton that his rank and misfortune
would have dictated, he runs away
This may be Spanish, but 1t is mol
honorable Better thousand time:
to have died IN the trenches il
Manila than to have escaped alive
under such circumstances"
/ Senator Daniel looks now for ar
era Of great prosperity and OF expan
sion. He hopes that the Cuban:
will justify the hopes of their friends
and help the United States to star
up the independent government they
are to have.
I'VE shall 60 on prospecting fol-
hundred years. I wish I could live
to see what We shall be then. But
