TIE GOD OF BATTLES.

C ATTAIN PHILIP of the Texas after the Sam k tiago engagement, called his men to the
 quarterback and there thanked God for an a- most boodless victory. The air had just ceased to yibrae to the thunder of guns, the pail of hung over the scene when this brave Commander sum- moned his "I want to make public acknowl- edgnent," he said to them, "that 1 believe in God the Father Almighty. l want all of you, officers and men, to lift your hats and from your hearts offer silent thanks to the Almighty"
 It would be steey nature to which such spec tacle would not appeal, strangely constituted human being whom 1t would not thrill to his depths
 It is the history of between peoples degree above savagery that the soldiers go forth confident that they right, and that above them there is the shielding arm of the God of Battles If it were not so, they would not have the courage which impels them willingly to rush to death
 The Napoleonic dctum that God is on the side of the strongest battaions has been confirmed by mili tary history, and not idly spoken by the worlds greatest general Yet when success crowns an army by land sea- gives victory and does exact the of valiant lives, the nsnctive faith crystallizes into fervent belief Captain Philip did himself honor when he declared his principles, and people of every shade of opinion will respect the manly and outspoken declaration

At the time of his political regeneration he was peace fully occupying a stall in the Custom House where the Federal crib Is big with fodder. He began to lay wires to be- come Assessor, which Is not bad job. Unluckily for him the position had been gerald, a person from Oakland. He has the further distinction of being brother to a member of the famous Committee of Nine, seven of whose number lived in the country, yet who kindly consented to appoint a county committee for this city and make laws for the same.
 It is said that Boss Tailor McNab prom ised Committeeman Fitzgerald that the other Fitz should have the nomination he resident of San Diego instead of Oakland. Also with that characteristic family thrift the committeeman consent ed to become party to the scheme, and vote according to the whispered inStruc- tions of McNab. The brothers are both cared for now at the expense of the tax payers, but they consult the oracle anx- iously to see if the future does not hold a better reward for their patriotism.

A SAN DIEGO MOVEMENT.

~ BRITAIN enterprsing public spirited men of \ San Diego, feeling the importance of hastening
 - the beginning of work upon the Nicaragua canal have initiated movement to that end which, if well supported, 1t deserves, will undoubtedly do much to induce Congress to take prompt action on the subject They have organized American Nicaragua Canal Association and intend to estab-
 fish branches throughout the Union Their object is to get citizens in every section of the country to bring whatever influence they may have to bear upon Congressmen as to arouse them to an underxand- ing of the strength of the popular demand for the canal
 The method proposed Is simple in its nature but be made very effective taken up by the right in different sections and States That the great majority of Americans in favor of the construction of the canal is unquestonabe. So long, however as the favorable sentiment is quiet and undemonstratve it will have little weight with the lawmakers of the national capital Most of them, in fact will hardly know understand the full extent and strength of it. A movement, therefore, which will lead to clear and forcible declaration of the popular will on the subject will be useful in encouraging the advocates of the canal at Washington in overcoming the indf- ference of many who have given but little consdera ton to the subject and in sencing the objections of others who have been antagonstic
 It is to be hoped the San Diego plan will be well received everywhere, and that the association will soon be national in its scope few petitions from scattered localities will have but little effect while host of them coming from every State and from a- most every citizen of weight and influence will have much The issue has been well expressed in the cir cular of the association: Congress may act any way but there is certainty about it. If however, the people unitedly demand this undertaking they will get it, and that speedily"

SOLDIERS IN WASHINGTON.

The stairway leading up to the top of the Washington monument has been inn passable with soldiers for a couple or weeks past. Not one in ten of the soldiers will ride up in the elevator, and the so:- dier who does take the elevator is called a "slob" by his comrades. The men who have had their hats thrown out of the windows of the monument by skylarking comrades haven't appeared to enjoy thls game very much, especially the searching for their chapeaux after the descent.
 It IS not characteristic of men who comprise an urban population to run to fires. The soldiers who are now f1ocking through the streets of Washington don't pretend to metropolitan ways. This eX- plains why so many of them, when they see fire engine racing along. the street, take to their heels and follow 1t.

 Another natural leader of men, who, for the nonce, is consenting to be led, is Eugene Napoleon Deuprey. He is a legal Samson untouched of Delilah's shears. His name is a household word in some households. He has a political history. In 1890 he withdrew with a little band of adherents whom Farmer Buckley had overlooked in the distribution of pie into the cave of Adullam known as Irving Hall. There they formed party of their own with pie as the platform. Deuprey invited Whispering Gavin to join. but just then Gavin was trotting, ghost dog like, at the heels of the Livermore agri- culturist, and refused to break away. On the contrary he replied that Buckley was a good enough reformer for him, that the malcontents had tried to reform the Democratic party and had done so to the extent of getting out of it.
 Now Napoleon has consented to become a candidate for District Attorney, an of- flee in which he thinks he would shine. When the other Napoleon-the original first stood face to face with Goethe, hs exclaimed "Voila un homme,' which, be- ing translated, means There is a man." But could he have been at the Democratic convention in Union Hall in 1894 when our own Napoleon was giving away nomi- nations without consulting the asSemblage, he would have looked with bulging eyes and exclaimed: There are at least two men," On that memorable occasion Deu- prey handed to one favored friend the nomination as County Clerk, and others were put on the ticket to run for jobs at Supervising. Nobody wanted them there but Deuprey, but they went there just the same, and Deuprey overruled the howls of protest. Robin Hood, Claude Duval Dick Turpin and Captain Kidd have gone to their several rewards. Deu- prey is still in the flesh, Illuminating the pages of Democracys history. He wants his reward without getting it as the other . neck, and is reaching out for 1t with an

RIDING TWO HORSES.

D Y delegation favorable to fusion with Dem \ ocracy on terms of political bargain and sale, AD but weighted down with resolutions declaring against fusion the Populiss of San Francisco will be both represented and misrepresented the coming State convention of their party. We will therefore have chance to Ill that assembly of patriots a clean, straight contest between principles and men, between resolutions that speak clearly and who are not speaking except on the side.
 A county committee, not numerous body, that changes itself in the twinklng of eye into county convention and then proceeds to unanimously adopt resolutions declaring against particular line of ac- tion after which it elects delegates known to be in favor of that action certainly very well fitted to conduct the affairs of such party as that of the San Francisco Popuists. Men who undertake to carry out cut and dried programme should at least see it that the thing that is the thing that is dried and not cut thing and dry another Where the profit party leaders in laboriously structing platform to stand upon when the time comes and then intrustng it to men who will use its tmbers to practice in saving wood for themselves or else swap it off for any old thing?

The local party is placed in a position where will have to ride two horses going in different directions and a result soon the circus starts up at the State convention the first act of the show will be exhibition of San Francisco Populism in grand tunbling act with its back in the sawdust and its feet in the air.
 In respect, however the fusion- confusion out come of the combined county committee county con- vention meeting will not be wholly adverse to the Populism of the city The delegation and the reso- lutions, if not in harmony with one another, will ho tod delegates and declarations from other parts of the State It will be nothing out of place for city Popusts to shout for the middle of the road and then take to the first bypath that affords an entrance to the woods They will not be lonely when they shout nor when they turn aside. They will find the road full of such shouters and the woods fu1 of such dodgers.
