CONSIDERED WITH cANDoR

The dissatisfaction that has developed
n the ranks of the Cuban insurgents
promises to cause our government nc
end OF embarrassment, and may, in the
end, prove very costly. Conquest OF the
opaniards in arms may be esteemed ar

20 subdue a rebellion of the natives
against the authority of the United States
may be estimated from the bitter and
costly experience of Spain in dealing
with the same element during the past
quarter Of century. And in contemplat-
Ing the possible necessity for having to
employ force, we make due allow
ance in the comparison for the assistance
that has been afforded the insurgents
from the United States. We have seen
how long a beggarly band of bushwhack-
ers has been able to withstand the power
or Spain. 1t will not be safe to assume
that we can vanquish such foe, even
with our immensely greater resources,
except at the end of a long and expensive
campaign. And to the physical Difficult
ties of such an undertaking must be
added the embarrassment Of being ar
sayed In arms against a people we set
out to liberate, plus the necessity Of
adopting methods not wholly dissimilar
to those employed by Spain, and which
we execrate,

MAou1RE ENDORSED

The Democratic county committee of
one hundred of San Francisco, with but
one dissenting vote, has Endorsed the
candidacy of Hon. James G. Mcguire for
governor in these words:
Resolved, That while we are pre-
cluded under the rules of this committee
from instructing our delegates to the
state convention to vote for any partic-
ular candidate, we indorse the candi-
dacy of the Hon. James G. Mcguire for
the office of governor of the state of Cali
fornia.
If there has ever been doubt con-
corning the nomination of Mr.. Mcguire
by the Democratic state convention. this
resolution removes it. Coming, as 1t does,
from a committee which has been criti-
cised as being, to a certain extent, under
the control of Governor Budd, 1t will also
stop the senseless charges that he Is OPP
posing the candidacy OF Mr.. Mcguire.
Coming also from committee which, by
the same set Of resolutions, denounces
the railroad and Its methods In politics,
1t will bring further terror to the hearts
of the push and afford assurance to those
leading the anti-railroad fight that the
delegation from the metropolis to the
state convention will be their allies in
the assault and rout Of the railroad push
on convention day.

Judging from our Washington dis
patches this morning, beautiful condi-
ton of harmony begins to characterize
the intercourse between war department
officials and Admiral Sampson. Weary
of the latter's procrastination In carry
ing out instructions, the president is said
to have issued personal orders, 'impera-
tive to degree seldom employed except
in cases of extreme emergency" Read
ing between the lines, and one must needs
do that these days to approximate the
truth, 1t is obvious that Sampson, Miles
and the war board are at cross purposes,
and that the best results from movements
in hand need not be looked for, II, indeed,
disaster is not menaced.

Yitriol Instead of Bullets.

A great revolution in warfare will
be effected if anything comes of the
new French rifle which discharges
vitriol instead of bullets. Heroes do
not fear death, but naturally shrink
from Disagreement. The Duke of
Wellington, we are told in the Latin
Grammar Comic, would walk
among the cannon balls, him not
caring one blow" but even the great
duke would hardly have exhibited
the same Indifference to rifles squirt
ing vitriol. No decent looking sol
der will be got to face them. They
will have to be approached back
ward. This will entail new sys-
tenn of drill. Think of whole regi-
ment charging backward! II both
forces are possessed of this novel
weapon, the spectacle will be doubly
entertaining Our ideas will not
only be transformed, but inverted.
When our warriors return, says
James Jayn, they will no longer ex-
hibit with pride the wounds they
have received in front-quite the re-
verse. The more behind the better.

2. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23d, says: eve all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was case of rush
and rush night and day to keep the
troops supplied with ammunition and
rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
we were able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect savior of our army,
for If the packers had not been able to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front There
were no roads that wagon train could
use.. My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply of this
medicine for our pack-train before we
left Tampa, and I know in four cases
it absolutely saved ife."
