Our War With Mexico.

tFrom the Galveston News.)
The Mexican war was known as small
affair and a case of quick fighting, but it
lasted about a year and four months be-
fore the enemy was completely van
quished and put in. shape for peace on
effective terms of indemnity for the past
and security for future. This is an
example for those to think over who want
the Spanish done up in short order. His
tory has it that. the Mexican war began
on March IS, 1916. when Gen. Mejia at
Matamoras called out the Mexican troops
A month later. April 26. 1916, Gen. Taylor
called for 5000 militia. A fortnight later,
May 1S, Congress officially recognized the
war and called for volunteers. Mexico
declared war May 3d. 1876. Mexico had no
fleet and no army on the frontier except
some desultory levies- Monterey was not
taken until four months later, September

volume of this class of operations. While
such transactions do not contribute much
to the regular commission firms, yet they
serve some important functions in tae
market. They keep business alive IN
periods of duilnesS; they serve as a con-
stant test and regulatory force on prices
and they sometimes afford a market for
stocks which, in their absence it would
be more difficult to find. They serve the
purposes of ventflator, safety-valve, bar
ometer and regulator: all of which sery-
fees are highly useful In a market sub

ton among these operators is. What can
be done to mitigate the severity of these
taxes? Some way of relief will probably
be discovered: but. at present. the out

BUTTER AND BUTTERINE.

Those who like to eat butterine or
oleomargarine ought to be allowed to
purchase it. Hence dealers should be
permitted to sell it; but 1t is outrageous
for them to sell any substitute for butter
Tor real butter. Yet that is being done
here in some of the stores and in the
markets.
There are laws on the subject and they
seem to be stringent, but they are not
enforced. Why, We do not know. Can
1t be that they are not endorsed and ap-
proved by public sentiment? This may be
So but it is an idea that never occurred
TO us before.
So far as our experience goes house
Keepers are very indignant when they
lind that they have bought butterine for
pure butter; but all of them do not profit
by their experiences. Within the next
twenty-four hours many Of them ace
likely to go out shopping and buy the
very same sort of spurious stun from
some other dealer.
The Dispatch favors giving to every ci!i
ger the privilege of deciding what he will
cat. II oleomargarine suits his palate
Why, let him have it, Or If butterine l.
more to his taste let him have that anc
grow fat upon it, if he can. Or If he is
enough of an old-timer to prefer country
butter, then arrange so that he may be
able TO purchase that. All we contend for
is, that the thing sold shall be what it is
said TO be; no Misrepresentation; no
butterine for butter.
We venture to opine that before any
great change of the present conditions
is brought about the public will have to
be heard from. They will have to show
that they desire the laws enforced. Ar
rests will have TO be insisted upon and
examples of offenders made.
Cannot we get the ladies to make 4
move in this matter? Or must we or
ganize a Society for the Prevention of
Fraud by the sale of various Oleaginons
Compounds, falsely represented to be Pure
Country Butter?

SHE HID IN PHILADELPHIA.
Miss Louise King, Who Was ThouSht
Drowned. Alive and a Bride.

The mystery surrounding the sudden
disappearance Of pretty Miss Louise King
of II west 127th street. New York, from
Coney Island two weeks ago, was clear
cd up on Saturday, when she returned 10
her fathers roof as Mrs. s. Lloyd Cham
berlan. 1t was a story Of love and ro-
nance, and It appears that the lady was
hiding in two of Philadelphia's biggest
hotels all the time her body was supposed
TO have been washed out 70 sea.
When Miss King so suddenly disap-
peared, it was at first supposed That she
had been caught in the undertoW ana
drowned Only a portion of her bathing
skirt was left on the beach, and every
other trace OF her was completely swal-
lowed up. Her maid discovered her alb
sence and gave the cry of alarm. AS a
matter of fact, Miss King had planned
the whole thing She went directly to
Philadelphia and put up at the Bellevue
where she stayed as Mrs. +. owens for a
day or two and then went TO the Hotel
Walton. There she registered as Mrs.
Fannie Crittenden. She left her trunks
there and went 10 the Women's Christian
Association building, Eighteenth and Arch
streets, where she lived until she returned
home. Her brothers, who are we'll con-
nected in business in New York. succeed
ed in tracing her to the Walton, and
thence to the Association building. In
their company was Mr.. Chamberlain.
When the party reached New York the
couple were married at the Waldorf. The
family say the reason for the girls dis
appearance is mystery. But those who
know aver that Cupid played big hand
in the affair.

CRITICIsEs CAMP MANAGEMENT.
Rev. Cyrus II. Brady. of Philadelphia,
Talks of Treatment of sick soldiers.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, September o.
The Rev. Cyrus T. Brady, archdeacon Of
the Protestant Episcopal Diocese CT East
ern Pennsylvania, and chaplain Of the
First Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers,
in a sermon last night severely criticised
the management OF the volunteer camps
which came under his supervision at
Chickamauga, where the regiment was
stationed for a long time. He said the
medical, commssary, qu3rtermaster, and
ordnance departments were all TO blame,
and continued, thus:
II personally saw men left in the hospi-
tails in camps for thirty-six hours with
out any medical attention whatever.
saw men in those hospitals suffering from
fever, with the rain beating down upon
them
II saw men committed TO the care OF
unskilled attendants, when il vas abso-
lutely impossible for them to receive any,
thing like the attention they deserved. l
saw men suffering from fever lying with
their mouths open and their mouths filed
with flies.
II wonder If l dare, being still in the
government service, say more. There is
much more that might be told II ii were
proper for me to tell 1t, but perhaps this
will suffice. / had not intended 10 touch
upon this phase of our experience at all.

taken place in this the richest, greatest,

ton on the face of the earth, cannot
