BONAPARTE..=

Without, all the elements are en- gagged in terrific battle, the waves dash high upon the roek-bound shores, within, the soul of the man, who had caused all nations to quake under the rule of his iron will, the man, who had distin- guished himself IS the world : greatest general, the hero of a thousand battles was passing into that unknown land ..from whose bourne no traveller return" where the sound of battle or the tread of armies never comes. In the midst of one of her fiefeest storms Nature true to her trust heralds her pro- tege into eternity where the shout of the victor is never heard. ? Even in the delirium of the last moments of his life his fevered mind turned and fingered in the camps beneath the shadow of the pyramids or in the camps along the Danube he hears the roar of cannon, the cheers of his soldiers as they march past carrying his eagles on to victory, and the cries of the wounded as they are borne by on filters; thus his spirit passed away buried in the thoughts of his former days.
 A man whom the Almighty Father endowed with supernatural qualities, man, who combined within himself all the elements that constitute the makeup of d successful career, man born te rule and oyerpower the oppressors of good was produced by nature, trained by desire, and served by fortune. Governed by stronger power than his own will he obeyed the mandates of destiny and be- came a star in the political world. He was kind and faithful as a friend, but stern and implacable as  an enemy. Knowing the value of success he took advantage of every opportunity and prohted by the royerses of his enemies. With him, to desire was to undertake, and to undertake meant victory or death
 Deeply engulfed in the philoso- phy of Plutarch, drawing deep inspiration from the enchanting lines of Homer and Goethe. and the undying truths of the New Testament, his brightness shone refulgent with undimmed lustre, and his name was lauded to the skies from Italy to the Baltic. Possessed of an extraordinary mind he was able to calculate with light ming rapldity; to dictate to three secretaries at one time; to govern half million men in one part of ths world and carry on political reforms in the other. His ambition was gigantic, indeed, but not more so than the mind which fostered it

Immediately after the ad- journment of the convention of the Antitrust Governors. that will be held i'll September next, Governor Jones will convene an extra session of the legislature, for the purpose of enacting an Antitrust law, and upon that platform he will make his fight, for a seat in the |. s. Senate. It will be remembered that Gov ernor Jones called an extra ses- sion of the legislature, about a year ago, to pass a railroad commission, and the result was a useless incumbrance upon the state. It is needless to call an extra sessionnow. We fear that Jones onlyis actuated by p olitical purposes, that his motives are not real, but simply to further his political interest. ."-Des Arc Guidon.
 We have no idea where the Guidon received its information, but without further proofwe are unwilling to believe that the Governor will ever do so foolish a thing as to convene the pres ent legislature ill extra session. To do so would be to sound the death-knell of his chances for a seat in the senate. To con vene this body would please no one save the members, and not all Of them. It would be bur ben to the already over-taxed people with no reasonable hopes of corresponding beneficial re- results And we are hardly pre- pared to believe that the Gov

surgents have reoccupied Porac, which
was captured by General Macarthur
on Sept. % and evacuated by the Amer
icans the following day.
The insurgent forces are also re-
ported moving toward Mexico, south

double movement is, apparently, to get
behind the American garrison on both
sides of the Manila-Dagupan railroad.
Reconnaissance from Mexico by the
Fourth cavalry toward Santa Ana,
northeast Of Mexico and toward Arayat,
developed the fact that the insurgents
are in position at both points.
An American private was killed in
the ski1mish at Santa Ana.

Calamba, in which the commanding
officer and go Filipinos were killed and
