THE provost marshal of Camp Alger
not only refused to surrender a negro
soldier, charged with q violation OF the
laws of Fairfax county, to the legal au-
thori,ies of that county, but says should
they persist in their attempt to make
the arrest he will retaliate by refusing
to allow the citizens OF that county to
haul visitors from Falls Church to the
camp privilege that yields that vii
lage five hundred dollars from cab IL
censes. If provost marshal, ila peace
full county in Virginia, can override the
law and law officers of that county with
impuuity, why should there be any OBJ
lection to calling this government an
elective monarchy"

A NORTHERN newspaper not satisfied
with the Presidents appointment OF SIX
negro privstes to commissions in the
negro immune regiments, complains
because they were not appointed to
commissions in the regular army. 1t
looks very much as if some people in
.he North want to make the army and
navy, too, for that matter, so disagree
able to men born and raised in the
south, that few or none of them will

A NORTHERN newspaper recently
converted to the lingo faith, says that
while "the United States entered upon

Why, even among wild Indians, and
the savage tribes of darkest Africa,

TUESDAY EVENING, AUG. ., 1898.

SENATOR HoAR says if eve ATTEMPT
to govern great mas es of people, aliens
in birth, of strange language and OF oil
ferent religion, our spirit will not enter
into and possess them, but their spirit
will enter into and possess us" There
can be no doubt of the truth OF this;
but, what seems strange to or
dinarily reasonable people, unfa-
miliar with Mr. Hoar's history, is
that a man who talks as Mr.. Hoar docs,
should have favored the admission Of
seven million negroes to the privilege
of American citizenship, and who has
lust voted to confer the like privilege
upon the natives, the Chinese and
the Japanese in Hawaii.

THE ordinary expenses of the gov
ernment last month were seventy-four
million dollars; its ordinary receipts
were forty three million. But, accord
ing to the advocates of the Dingley
tariff bill, that bill should have amply
provided for all the ordinary expenses
of the government. But really, in view
of the opportunities they have had fer
robbery, the republicans may we'll say
they are surprised at their moderation
in footing the people of the country.

THE DEMOCRATS of Alabama made c
clean sweep in their State yesterday,

upon the supremacy of the democratic

Ihe present, when the Northern trusts
and combines have control OF the fed
eral government, is the worst for that
supremacy to be lost in any Southern

Morgan and Allen may have been in

the result has proved that in Directing

as if the war will soon come to an end,
in which case Congress may have to lie
convened in order to make provision

consists of four fiat cars and loco

and pushes the train along as the new

The two cars next to the locomotive
are loaded with railroad ties, while
the two end cars contain the rails. The
rails are placed on either side of these
ears, leaving an open space in the CEN

track is laid for the cars containing
the ties to run over.
Thus the material is discharged IN

distributed and then the rails are
handed out. The rails are placed on
