The American Cossacks.
Press. |

Philadelphia Press
1t was a conceit of Napoleon Bonaparte
when he lay dying at St. Helena that in
fifty years Europe would be either repub-
llcan or Cossack. The purport ofthe great
captains prophecy was that before haf
century had passed, free and representa-
tive government would prevail over Europe
or that continent would be ruled by des-
potism of which the Russian Cossack is
typical.
Napoleon's prophecy did not come true,
out had he lived until to-day and witness
ed some of the scenes now taking place in
the United States he might have errone-
ously conclude that the great Republic is
dominated by defendants of the Cossacks
who hung on the TANKS of his army and
made his Russian campaign so disastrous.
For the American Cossack is in evidence
A despatch to the New York "Sun" from
New Orleans says that on Tuesday morn
ing that city was treated to sight Of the
most picturesque troops that will take part
in the war with Spain. They were the
Roosevelt cowboy regiment made up of
cowboys, college men, Indian fighters,
foot ball players, bronco breakers and line
buckers from all over the country.
The cosmopolitan character and spirit Of
the American people was never better rep
resented than it is by!hisregiment. Cow
BOYS touch elbows with the sons of Eastern
millionaires and men from the plains who
hardly know what spelling book is
march side by side with graduates Of
Harvard and Yale. The despatch says:
''The rough riders are fine, Swapping
set of fellows, bronzed and tanned by the
sun of the Western plains. Shaver faces
are few and the dirt Of travel was in
plentiful evidence" Tennis champions,
men who have won honor for their colleges
on the athletic field, millionaires' sons
whose highest ambition in life until recent
ly appeared to be to lead the cotillion in
ballroom, and the bronco riders of the
plains whose life has been spent in the
''round up" we're on their way to do
service on the field of battle to their coun-
try and humanity.
They come as near as it is possible to
come in this country to the Russian
Cossacks, the terror of Europe, but actu-
ated by different spirit. There is not a
man among them who is not there by his
own free will and he goes to fight for
freedom and not for despotism. That
these United States can in few weeks
raise ouch a regiment is one of the most
convincing proofs Of the stability of the
Republic Taine said that the French
Revolution was the result Of the over
refinement of the upper classes. This
Government will stand in no danger of
such social CONFUSION SOL long as the
rough rider of the plains the educated and
refined college man and the social leaders
from among the rich can Ground up" in
the same regiment when their country
demands their service.

John Sherman is said to have improved
wonderfully in his health since his retire
ment from the Cabinet, and he walks
along the streets of Mansfield as briskly as
a man half his age.
Ex-Governor Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,,
delivered the Memorial Day address in
Kingston, but did not arouse much enthu-
siasm, as he opposed the present war and
spoke against all alliance with Great Brit
ain.
DR.. w. w. Webb, who has just been
chosen president of the Nashotah Semi
nary, in Wisconsin, is a graduate of the
University of Pennsylvania and Trinity
College, and is we'll known as the author
Of several important works on theology.
Lord Masham, owner of the patents I'M
der which the power loom is made, has
announced that he will give 5000, 900, for
the purpose of founding in Bradford, Eng,
amemorial hall in honor of DR.. Cartwright,
original inventor of the power loom.
There was biographical sketch of Glad
stone published in Turkish paper in
1876. 1t is stated that he was Bulgarian
by birth, but going to London with some
pigs which his master desired to sell, and
desiring to become an Englishman, he
changed his Bulgarian name, Grozadin, for
Gladstone.

triotic and heroic as the fathers who
founded the republic But the acts of
heroism and daring that have already
been exhibited by our sailors and soldiers
in the war with Spain disprove most COM
pletely the adverse declarations of the
pessimists. Dewey and his men at Manila,
the young hero Begley at Cardenas,
Rowan in his daring "trip to the insurgent
camps in Cuba and voyage from Cuba in
an open boat to Kingston show of what
heroic stuff American sailors and soldiers
are made. But these have been supple
mented by the thrilling heroism displayed
bv four thousand men at Santiago, who
volunteered their services when Admiral
Sampson called for eight men to perform
what was considered a forlorn hope or
act No grander act Of heroism has been
recorded in history. Lieutenant Hobstn
and the seven brave fellows that were his
companions who escaped death an none
the less deserving of praise because they
were not killed. To carry out the plans OF
Admiral Sampson and sink the Merrlmac
in the narrow channel of Santiago harbor
was attended with dangers of the most ex-
traordinary character. They had to run
the Merrimac over the mines and through
a terrific fire from the land batteries and
the ships of Cervera. The American ship
was riddled with Spanish shells, but Hob
son and his band of heroes pushed on and,
when they had swung their vessel into the
proper position, landed the anchor and
blew up the ship with an internal torpedo
Their escape from death was truly marvel
Gus, but because they are alive they are
none the less heroes.

PAINFULLY FUNNY.

The editor of the Clinch Valley News is
painfully facetious over what he calls our
painful Republicanism. Because we are
anxious to see the next House Of Repre-
sentatives Republican and in sympathy
with the Administration in its war and
financial policies, the News would try to
make its readers believe that we would
prefer to see Republican success in the
Ninth district next fall to victories won by
Schley and Sampson. Of course the News
does not believe what it says, and can
hardly be SO obtuse as to think that any
sensible person will give credit to such an
intimation. Its purpose is transparently
thin. By far fetched ridicule it endeavors
TO minimize our earnest effort to impress
our readers with the Importance of having
the next Congress in thorough accord with
the President. We know of no worse
calamity that could befall the country than
TO have our next national legislature con-
troled by such men as Bailey, of Texas
Allen, of Nebraska, and Butler, of North
neutrality-suspicious. who have hindered
and obstructed the Administration go per-
sistently that one would almost be justified
in concluding that they are willing to see
the war unsuccessfully prosecuted if they
can gain party advantage.
We are under very great obligations to
the News for its gratuitous advice about
what it calls our fatal infatuation with
party;but must confess that we are at loss
to know upon what it bases it accusation
that the party "has done, things right
here in Tazewell, that any self respecting
party ought to be ..shamed of, and things
which many of its adherents are ashamed
Of" If the party has done anything that
IS so perAcdious or immoral it has never
been brought to our knowledge, and IN
the name of the Republicans of Tazewell
county we repel the insinuation with
seorn.

THE NEW SITUATION.
1t VIII be Productive of Enterprise,
New Aims and a More Rapid
Progress,
Baltimore sun qnd. Dem.l


Baltimore sun Qnd. Dem.
The spirit of adventure and enterprise
is beginning to chafe within the confines OF
the country and to recoil and overflow.
lis recoil is felt in the unrest and chimeras
which our recent politics have shown; Its
ovel flow is felt in Mexico, South America
and China. Few of US realize how prodi-
gious and multiform this spirit is. 1t is
possibly one Of the greatest social forces
the world has witnessed-more vast than
the mysterious impulses which impelled
the Teuton, the Hun and the Turk against
Europe For nearly three centuries all OF
the conditions here have nurtured and
stimulated it. Can it be checked by ma
tional boundary lines ?
Those who are inoculated with it and
swept on by it will probably find allies
even among the timid and conservative
who for self protection, will advocate CIV
ing it vent. Coming when it did, the war
with Spain iseems to have awakened tue
world and ourselves to the fact that the
United States has entered on new era.
We can but believe that the mission OF
the United States to the world will be, as
it has been, one of freedom, civilization
and progress. We had hoped that 1t
would work out this mission i'll peace and
by example, with now and then helping
hand to struggling people. Nor do we
vet despair of this consumation. But we
cannot conceal from ourselves the fact that
there are signs that America, alone or with
England, may, in the next century, be-
come the Rome of the modern world; may
we hope not merely Rome of law and or
der, but Rome of freedom and brother
hood also
Neither our hopes, our fears or our ef-
forts, however, can stay the march OF
events. Race peculiarities, physical facts
and environment will continue, as they
have in the past, to impel and give direc-
ton TO the nations career, These we can
not dam by protest Or placate by singing
the memories of our ArcadiAn days.

THURSDAY. JUNE 9, 1898,
RENEGADss AND TRAITORS.

These are dangerous words when used
by the f1ippant talker or the shallow writer.
They are words that are very popular with
the so-caled Democratic speakers and
writer's in Virginia. 1t has been their pol
icy to apply them indisciminately to
those who have exercised the right of with
drawing their support from the tenets OF
the modern organization that calls itself
Democratic. They are used with all the
vice of political hypocrisy and cheek
more hardened than brass. The name
Democrat, +" in their opinion, is the syn
unym of principle. No matter what a
man is for, if he calls himself Democrat
he is true, and no matter how often the
Democratic party change it's position on
important national and state questions
such shifting of policy is claimed to be
principle. These fellows call men rene
gades when they leave the Democratic
party from honest conviction and pro-
claim others patriots and statesmen who
change their views with each campaign to
conform with the shifting policy Of the
Democratic party. If men who were
formerly Democrats but are now Repub-
licans are amenable to the charge OF being
renegades because they have deserted q
principle, then, every Bryanite IN the
Ninth district is worthy to wear the badge
of renegade. But We will not say that be-
cause Democrats have chosen to change
their views on the financial question, or
other questions, that they are renegadeS
although faithlessness to principles as true
definition ofrenegade as desertion OF party
Now. lets see if our Democratic friends In
the Ninth District have not been faithless
to principle. In 1892 they ran Judge
Morrison for Congress on gold platform,
and in that platform eulogized Grover
Cleveland. In 1896 they ran Judge VIII
lams on an extreme free silver platform
and one that denounced Grover Cleve-
land. Judge Rhea in 1892 was warm
supporter of Morrison and we oeheVe'
was a member of the committee that
framed the platform on which Morrison
ran. Rhea WAS a gold man up to the time
of the Staunton convention, perhaps later
Now he is a rip-snorting free silverte,
Bryanite, with Populistic coloring. Was
he true Democrat when he was for Cleve'
land, Morrison and sound money? 1fso
he is now renegade, according to The
foolish assertions of some who call them
selves Democrats, because he has aband'
oned the principles and men he supported
in 1892.
Better men than these modern Demo
ocrats have been called traitors and yet
been given the title of patriots in history.
Cromwell, Washington and Lee were pro-
nounced traitors, and today they are
looked upon as among the worthiest pa,
triots the world has produced.

OUR SODA WATER
The Heaviest Farm Tax.

A road supervisor in northern New
York says that it costs the farmers in
his section one-half as much to haul
their produce three miles to the railway
station as it costs them to send it 500
miles by rail after it is placed in the
cars. This bad road tax could easily be
reduced by onc-half.
