FOES ONLY AT HOME.

It was written Of old that mans foes shall
be Of his own household. The simple fact IS
that al this moment the whole world IL
our friend except certain leaders Of the Dem
ocratic party. All countries crowd INTO our
markete but our opponents say our tarin Is
barbarous. our achievements I'm war have re-
ceived the ungrudging praise Of foreign ma
tons and meet with unjust and carping crltl-
cism only at home. All other countries bid rs
godspeed in the work Of bringing order and
civilization to the Philippines and IT was lett
to a man IN Cincinnati the other day to wish
that "Otis and his army might he swept into
the sea" II is hard to eXterminate rooted
tendency-the Proverbs say something about
braying In mortar. The party which By
vicious leadership in 1861 was made 20 place
Itself across the path Of freedom and progress
should take care not to follow the lead this
year Of men as lacking I'm sagacity as they ere
in patriotism.
But we may take comfort in the reflection
that no leaders can carry all their party into
courses their judgment must condemn and their
hearts reject There are. thank Cod, many
Democrats in Ohio who do not desire the humih-
alton Of their country or the dishonor Of their
flag Yours faithfully. JOHN HAY.

A SMALL BULLET
Great!Penetrating Forceof
the New " Lebel.'
What Ii Has Shown In ACtion-Used
Upon Natives In Africa
Lee-M etfOrd.

The writer of an article in the"Echo
de Paris" referring to certain disad-
vanJages offered, as alleged, by the
British magazine rife bullet, argues
that the bullet fired by the LebeI rifle
renders all the services required, and
does not stand in need of Improvement
or of any such notifications as those
introduced in the Dum-dum bullet
At 1000 meters the Lebel bullet ira
verses the fieshy portions of the human
body and skaters the bones of the
limbs. The penetrating force of the
mey campaign Lebel bullet was
found TO have passed through a tree
and through the five natives who had
taken refuge behind it. The French
officers who have been able to observe
the effects of the bullet in Dahomey,
Tonkin and Madagascar declare that
the men struck by the Lebel bullet in
full trajectory fall at once after con-
yulsive leap.
When the camp of Gen. DOdds, dur
ing his march on Abomey, was the OBJ
ject of a surprise attack the terrible eff
fectiveness of the Lebel bullet was
proved in the most signal fashion.
The assailants received the bullets al
most Immediately after they had left
the rifles, and entire files of the native
warriors were seen to have fallen, one
on top of the other, traversed by the
same projectile. If the bullets had not
stopped the natives forthwith Gen.
DOdd's forces would have been wiped
out. Occasionally, no doubt, a man
struck by Lebel bullet is not put hors
du combat Immediately, but this event
is rare, and such cases VIGOROUSLY Oc-
Cured in the past when bullets of larg-
er caliber were in use.
The writer concludes by saying that
the French have no reason to feel
alarmed at the complaints made of the
neffectiveness under certain condi-
lions of the British magazine rifle bull
let of small caliber. eff the Lee-Met-
ford rife" he says, "has given unsatis-
factory results the blame does not lie
with the small caliber bullet"
