VIII There he Another Call for Men.
Washington Post

With the sending of 10000 men to Cuba
and 1j.000 10 the Philippines. and with the
disposition Of the remainder at various
points along the coast for defence aud
reserve purposes, the President realizes
that the number of men called for in his
first proclamation is not sufficient 10
meet the military demands. While Off
cal denials are still made. and while it
is positively stated that the Cabinet yes
terday did not discuss the proposition of
calling for more volunteers. there is no
doubt that the President will soon give to
impatient patriots a chance to serve
their country. 1t is likely that about
1000 more men will be called for, and
from present indications this quota will be
filled within few hours.
Within less than week there has been
a steady procession of Senators and Rep
Ieseltatives to the White House and to
the War Department Offering the SER
vices OF regiments which have been or
ganized and which could not be accepted
under the first call Congressman Ma
hany, OF Buffalo. for instance, who or
ganized a regiment in that city and pro-
posed to resign his seat I'm congress in
order 20 lead il into action, has been
greatly disappointed because there was
no opportunity 10 accept its services.
Representative Colson, of Kentucky, is
another congressman who has organized
a regiment from among the mountaineers
in his district and Congressman Sulzer.
of New York, has still another regiment
ready and waiting to go to the front.
Under the new call. when IT is issued
all these organizations will have "A chance
10 don the uniform, because the 1900
additional men will not be proportional
pro rata among the States, but will be
accepted as fast as they are ready to be
mustered In without regard to location.
1t will be a reserve guard. and will proba-
bly, go at once into camp at Chickamau-
ga and Washington. taking the places of
the volunteers who will 80 TO Cuba.

That all four members OF the House OF
Representatives from Connecticut should
have been among those who voted against
the proposition TO amend the Constitution
so as 20 elect United States Senators by
the popular vote. is regarded by the Bos-
ton Herald as "certlfcation of the JUS
tice of the change" Why the voice OF
Connecticuts congressman should have
been against the innovation is easily ex-
planned. Connecticut has system OF
choosing her lower house by a rotten
borough arrangement. She gives q town
Of III voters the same representation
there that a city of 100000 population has.
In that way she has more thar once elect
ed a Legislature which chose United
States senator of one party when the ma
jority of the people of the State would
have chosen "a senator Of another party.
1t was evident that her representatives in
Congress desired TO continue this system
of electing senator's by Legislatures. The
rotten borough system is in itself, says
the Herald, trick.

4 correspondent of the New York
Herald, who is with the American fleet
off Habana, says that TO land United
states troops in Cuba will not now be
the simple matter IL would have been
three weeks ago. as General Blanco has
completed his signal telegraph along the
coast. The wires extend already from
Cabanas to Cardenas. They are carried
along just behind the first ridge, about
q mile from shore. BY building this tele-
graph General Blanco can now be in
formed Of any attempt at landing by
American troops long before the first boat
touches the beach, thus enabling him to
mass troops to resist a landing. "While,"
adds the correspondent, This arrange
ment does not interpose an insurmount-
able obstacle in the way OF landing an
army under the protection OF the guns
Of the fleet. it makes il impracticable TO
land arms and supplies for insurgents on
the northern coast. even in small quanti-
ties. Witness the Gussie expedition"

The Land Where Our Dreams Come
True.

Emma Alice Brown, in Tacoma Ledger
Far over some mst-hidden river,
And under wonderful sky,
Where the rain never blots out the sun
shine,
And our loves never weary or die;
Where the flowers never fade-but in
changing
Their magical sweetness renew.
Lies glorified realm of enchantment,
The land where our dreams come true!
BY mystical symbols and tokens
We know of that beautiful land:
But alas. on the threshold of manhood
The frai clew slpt out of our hand.
And the wild river wanders between us,
The white gates are hidden from view
And only in sleep we remember
The land where our dreams come true!
We shall find the lost treasures we seek
for
Revealed in that wonderful sphere;
All the aims and the dreams of the by
gone,
All the good that eluded us here;
The innocent faiths of our childhood,
The one hawless friendship we knew,
Arrayed in our vanished illusions,
In the land where our dreams come
t-ue
We know. in dvinest fulflment,
Our vain hopes are gathered at home;
The jewels we mourn here are boarded
Where the moth and the rust cannot
come:
And oft, when the sunset is fairest,
We catch. through a rift in the blue,
A far-away glimpse of the glories
OF the land where our dreams come
trrei
There are garnered the prayers of our
mothers,
And the soft cradle song that they sung;
There they move in the midst, with white
garments.
And faces Immortality young!
And out of the mists of that river
Their sweet hands shall reach us the
clew
That leads. through the Valley of Sha-
dow
To the land where our dreams come
true!
So. weeping, we lay down our idols,
And bury our loves out OF sight.
Though we know, in our hearts, We shall
find them
BY and by. in the Mansions OF Light:
And the salt tears that fall on their
ashes,
And blossom in pansy and rue.
Over there shall be lilies immortal
In the land where our dreams come
true!

Baltimore, May II. 1898.
To the Editor of the Baltimore Ameri-
can: In last Sundays American you gave
an excerpt from the Washington star en-
titled. Lee Wore no Sword, in whlch
DISTINGUISHED ex-COnfederate is made 10
say that General Lee never wore a SWORD
during the war. BY reference TO General
Horace Porter's article in volume ~, OF
the Century Company's Battles and
Leaders of the Civil War" 1t will be seen
that General Porter, who was present at
the surrender. says distinctly on page
737 that Lee carried a long sword or eX-
ceedingly fine workmanship, the hilt stud
ded with jewels. which was sald 10 De the
one presented to him by the State or
Virginia. This. of course, would not prove
that Lee ALWAYS carried a sword, but on
page ZAP he SAYS Grants eye now fell
upon Lees sword again. and ii seemed TO
remind him of the absence of his own
and by way of an explanation ne said 10
Lee: j started out from my camp seVe
raj days ago without my sword, ana as 1
have not seen my headquarters baggage
since. / have been riding about without
any side-arms | have generally worn
sword. however, as little as possible, only
during the actual operations of cam
paign.' Il am in the habit OF wearing mine
most of the time remarked Lee. L wear
IL invariably when | am among my troops,
moving about through the army
This. from one who was present at the
surrender, would seem TO be pretty good
evidence that the distinguished ex-Con-
federate mentioned by the Star was
wrong L am sincerely.
ALEX. FALCONER.
We doubt IL General Lee said he Gin
variably" wore his sword. But he often
did. Nor was his sword studded with
Jewels. 1t was a white-handled sword,
with lions head at the top, and the
handle was wrapped with gilt wire. The
scabbard was of blue steel with GIT
trimmings. The sword and scabbard
were present to General Lee from a
Marylander." The Marylander's name we
do not know; we wish we did.

The DREADED
CONSUMPTION
T. A. Slocum, M. c., the Great Chemist and
Scientist, Will Send Free, TO the Afflicted,
Three Bottles of His Newly Discovered
Remedies to Cure Consumption
and All Lung Troubles.

NotL.ag could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more JOY to the afflicted,
thar the offer of T. A. Slocum, NJ. c., of
1S3 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pulmo-
nary complaints, and to make its great
merits known, he will send. free, three
bottles OF medicine, to any reader of the
FERGUS COUNTY ARGUS who is suffering
from chest, bronchial, throas and lung
troubles or consumption.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thous-
ands OF apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious duty
"a duty which he owes to humanity-to
donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of the
great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be a durable disease hey ond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending-the
mistake will he in overlooking the generous
invitation. He has on file in his American
and European laboratories testimonials of
experience from those cured, in all parts of
the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Address
T. A. Slocum. NJ. c., 90 Pine street, New
York, and when writing the Doctor, please
give express and postoffice address. and
