"Camara's feet! Camara's feet?'
The wires in unison repeat,
On thoroughfare and rural street
We hear its prowess bruited;
It's far or near, it's everywhere,
Ubiquity itself, its lair.
Just pendulates twixt here and there,
To rumors edict suited:
One day in Cadiz, then 1T scars
On mystic wings to Cuban shores.
Ten minutes after the Azores
Are touched by it's fiotilla;
At dawn It's on New England's coast
At eve 1t fits like om'nous ghost,
with mighty supernatural host.
For Dewey at Manila
It's armored for death-dealing tilt,
It's foundered, wrecked, twas never bnilt;
1t grows majestic but to wilt
To weakness of panada.
Il stirs a thrill from sea to sea.
1t sets derisive laughter free
A menace and mockery.

THE CARTOON.

In Davenports cartoon, which Is print
ed on the first page OF this paper, there
is a world of meaning. 1t deals with the
finances of the United States and Spain
and shows this country growing stronger
and our enemy growing weaker. one
cannot but wonder how much longer the
Dons Will keep up their foolish STRUGGLED!
We wish to say. however, that we
think the caricaturist is overly optimistic
with regard TO this governments new
bonds That they will certainly command
a considerable premium, II things SO on
smoothly, we cannot doubt; but ioS'
which is his figure, is very high price
for them. That the loan VIII be sub

Princeton University has conferred the
degree Of Doctor of Laws upon Admiral
Dewey, who was well known at this in
stitution for four years while his son

our dashing officer Will avail himself of
this complimentary tailpiece for his
name. but we do know that at Annapolis
he graduated as one OF the "tailenders"
in his class. He always loved fun
more than study and was universally re-
garded as a jolly, good fellow. His career
at the Naval Academy may serve as
encouragement TO many plodding

FOURTH OF july.

The Mobile Register makes an eloquent
appeal to the people of the South to
revive the celebration of the Fourth Of
july. The reasons it gives therefor are
good, but it is not possible for us to have
again such celebrations as we used 20
have. And as for the kind prevalent in
the North, we have been having them
here. in modified way, for some years.
The modern observance OF Independ-
ence-Day consists mainly in arranging
for any number Of excursions and base
ball games, while the youths who stay
at home try TO make as much noise as
possible by firing 'popcrackers" and
pistols.
No longer, as Of old, do the people
meet to hear "Fourth-of-July oratory,"
no longer do we have military parades
and target shootings. and quot clubs are
unheard of.
The times are changed and we are more
or less changed with them. England
might as we'll seek TO revive her days
NJ cbiyalry as we to resurrect our genuine
old southern Fourth of July cele-
brations. In those halcyon days We were
very close to the Revolution, and
there were still some of the patriot
fathers surviving; but many things have
happened since then. And now, actually,
the veterans OF the civil war are about
to be side-tracked as raconteurs by the
veterans Of war fought upon foreign
soill The world is moving and we must
90 forward with it or else be whrled
into immeasurable space
However, the Register does not propose
the impossible. 1t only asks us to 90
the best we can in the way Of Fourth OF
July celebrations to testify our affection
for our country. That Is all right, and
we commend the scheme, but all the
same we cannot promise to hold back
our young people from the baseball
games or seaside excursions. As for
those of them who stay at home, well
try 10 see to 1t that they are as noisy
as any like body OF youths can posi-
bly, be.

EDITOR Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
As an old man, near 80, late slave
holder, a Confederate soldier from Rich
Mountain TO the finality States Right
Democrat. and as one who has watched
the character and operation of all the
delinquent laws from 1910 TO the present
iniquity, I respectfully ask permission TO
give a disinterested view OF the masses
as to the present "swindle'-for IL Is no.
thing else! urged and passed in the in
terest of a class of "sharpers" as law.
The present so-called law CD IS: First,
unconstitutional, and when 'our wise
men" voted for II they proved them
selves inconsistent, having taken an
oath to support that Federal gumelastic
toy, or they were ignorant of one OF the
clauses of the Fourth Amendment.
Second. II is an unjust thing! No Legis-
lature has the right to lay a tax or fine
on one citizen OF the unfortunate class
disabled Confederate soldiers, their
widows, or orphans, possibly-for the
benefit OF the sharper class of our com
munity, and not for the benefit OF the
State. If a penalty must be- let II at
least benefit the white schools" Negroes

Third. IL is obnoxious to all principles
of Justice, in that IT makes no provision
for the redemption OF the land of persons
laboring under disability, such as in
fants, insane people, absentees, as soldiers
and sailors or otherwise or persons alb
sent from the country Every law prior
10 the war in every State had and should
have had such provisos, but at that
glorious epoch OF freedom, our represen-
tatives were OF a different class and
calibre from the present race OF law
makers 60 and had some ideas OF
equity. And then the rings" cdques,
and corporations Of the present genera
ton were unknown, they being the
fungus growth from the decayng moral
debris Of the war.
Fourth. 1t offers a chance for fraud
and robbery OF innocent heirs, as IL opens
the way for life tenants to default for
two years, and convert their life tenancy
into fee simple right. Such cases exist,
and absentee heirs are legally swindled!
Fifth. 1t permits the State To do in
regard to Indebtedness OF citizens what
neither law nor equity would allow be-
tween citizens. II the State Is thus per-

the matter, and any circumstance that

Professor Hughett Is a man OF sucn
culture and equal poise of character, anu
