cHANTIoLEER IS sroK.

In the late municipal argument,
we met the enemy and we are
hisn. The Progressives literally
wiped the earth with us cold
hens" and we amt in it any more.
But we made good stand for
raw, undisciplined troops and we
go down with feathers flying.
Now we shall look forward 10 an
era of progress and prosperity.
The churches and women have
been eliminated from active par
t;cipation in the administration of
municipal affairs, and the reins of
government are in the hands of
the business men. 1t is now our
duty to encourage and uphold
whatever policy they may inaug-
rrate, and it is our hope that they
will be ms bred with wisdom and |
patriotism. If Caldwell shall be |
materially improved in her in
ternal affairs during the next
year, it will be our pleasure to
give credit where credit is due.
If there shall be no visible i'm
provement materially and a palp-
able deterioration morally, our
solace will be that maiorities
sometimes err. For the present
we cheerfully bow to the judg-
ment of superior numbers and ac-
cept the philosophy that what
ever is, is right. We hold no
grudge against the Progressive's
because thy licked us. We
.ried to lick them but couldn't. {
If we had, our rooster Tor hen)
would embellish the top of this t
column, and his clarion tones
would penetrate the fastness of {
Succor Creek. But Chanticleer !
S sick. He is very sick and t
lasn't a crow in him. He is rue f
uDy eating a little crow though, c
nut he isn't making any celebra- 6
ion over it. However, if the E
'rogressives don't progress as l
hey promised to do, we are q
able to mix with them again COS a
ays from last Tuesday and there r
viii be another heated argument. c
n conclusion, THE TRIBUNE con- "
ratulates the victors. This, as ri
lay be surmised, comes hard. Il
goes "agin human natter" to fe-
citate our Conquerors, but there's
o use pining over what can't be

MOST UNUSUAL SCENE.
Witnessed Last Night Mt the Produc-
ton of Under the Red Robe.

In this day of the degradation Of the
stage it is a distinct pleasure to be
lifted above the strain of the present
crisis by the spell of lofty sentiment
and the picture of noble deeds. Last
night was a fitting close to the regular
season at the Lyceum and a fine audi
ence crowded the theatre to see the
stirring drama, Under the Red Robe"
There were many faces absent from
the rows where they are usually seen
at leading theatrical events, and even
amid the brilliance of the surround
ings the city residents were impressed
with the fact that mourning now affect
a large number of leading families.
The scenes in the house almost riv-
allied the changing ones on the stage.
The boxes were filled and in the audi
ence sat a beautiful Spaniard whose
inner thoughts concerning the patri-
otic demonstration of the evening
would have been interesting to hear.
When the curtain fell at the close of
the third act, Bauer and his orchestra
struck up Hail. Columbia" and this
was the signal for the widest excite
ment probably ever experienced at a
theatrical entertainment in this city.
AS one national air followed another
the furore increased. Men rose to their
feet, waved their hats, yelled and
shouted in the maddest enthusiasm.
Cheers for Uncle Sam, Mckinley, the
flying squadron, and nearly everybody
and everything else that an American
loves. Flags We're waved from the
wings, and it was not until the genial
musical conductor refused to further
continue the patriotic selections that
the performance was allowed to pro-
ceed.
Notwithstanding the fact that Fevers-
ham and Viola Allen, who appeared in
the original presentation of this great
play, were not included in the cast Of
last evening, the company was an eX-
cellent one and gave powerful delin-
cation of Weyman'S fascinating story
of the rule OF Richelieu. William Nor
ris, with his rich, magnetic voice, won
unqualified praise. Too much can not
be said of Miss Mary Hampton, whose
beauty and rare dramatic ability were
so evident in the lovely character of
Renee de Cocheforet.
Miss Buckminster was charming as
the young wife, and Giles Shive gave a
dignifed and not unattractive portrait
of the great cardinal. Frank McGlynn,
Messrs. Tipman, Thanhouser and Ed
dingerwere clever in their several roles.
AS a whole the presentation was such
as made the audience wish to see it
again.

Volunteers Views OF Happenings in
the Orient.

Ralph Hasenwinlsle, Co. C, 18th Mian i,
son OF Henry Hasenwinkle, of st. Paul,
whose letters to his family were published in
recent issues has written again, his letter
reading as follows:
MANILA, Oct Is.
We have received cots at last. and with our
musketo MEETINGS are now quite comfortable.
If the food were a little letter we would
have no kick coming" Yen may have
heard of the smallpox That broke out in our

common among the natives, and among them
not very fatal, but if it catches q stranger to
the climate his chances are small.
Two weeks ago two OF our boys were taken
sick-two in my company, more in the regI-

the doctors thought malarial fever. They

The National tribune., 1898-12-15

Over The pipe we had carelessly thrown a
piece of wet canvas. to dry, and 1t really
did have the appearance of covered gun.
This happy accident saved Us from an
assault and possible destruction.
One day there came to Fort Random a
company of women who had walked more
than 20 miles, and with fearful eyes they
begged for assistance-not for themselves,
though their des;itution was painfully
apparent. They asked US TO go to the relief
of few Union men, friends of theirs,
who, in a furnishing condition, were hiding in
the mountains to avoid the bushwhackers.
We believed their story, and it was true;
and though our hearts went out in sympathy
for them, we were as powerless to help then
as they were to help themselves. The
fidelity OF those unfortunate women to their
friends and country was truly sublime, as we
learned in many ways.
AN AGED LOYALIsT.
They told us that there was but one Union
man then living peaceably at home in that
entire parish, and he was over 80 years old.
But it was not because of his age. iniirmities
and moral worth that he was left to live;
but because lie was a necessity to the neigh
