YE HEATHEN BELLIGERENT.

Time was in the olden, golden days of
the blunderbuss and cutlass when civil
ization made remarkable Roadway
against heathendom. Our forefathers
conquered the American savage without
the marvellous military equipments of
the present day. The old fint-lock
musket, which sometimes failed to go off
unless it was carried off, and other
weapo of a primitive type, cleared a
pathway for civilization through the
jungles of the long ago.
One cannot read the history of past
wars without realizing hat the old-time
heather was an easy mark compared
with his tawny skinned posterity. The
heather has progressed in the art of war.

America is learning the same lessons in

task to overwhelm the barbarians that
confront our soldiery, but while a sue

the American troops the conquest is not

salary of $50 a month, yet the struggle.
for the throne between two ambitious pir-

feather of power must lave his own.
Just where the difficulty into which
three great powers have precipitated

SHAFTER'S TESTIMONY,

Columns of editorial endorsements Of
the testimony Of General Miles, as to the
quality of the canned beef furnished the
American troops during the late war
with Spain, appeared in the democratic
newspapers; and of late it has been the
f~avorite pastime of democratic conven-
lions to pass resolutions against en-
balmed beef. The testimony for the de-
Tense is now being submitted, Inc the
gentlemen who praised General Miles to
the sky find little comfort therein.
Major General Shafter, whose oppor-
tunity to know the facts cannot be dis
puted, as he was on the grounds when
General Miles was in Washington, denies
the statements made as to rotten beef,
chemically prepared beef, embalmed
beef, and all that sort of thing. Ie ate
! these meats regularly and found no
cause for complaint. 1t will doubtless
be urged that Shafter is trying to pro-
! tect the administration and is putting
the best side out; with equal propriety it
! might be claimed that Miles was trying
to hoodoo the administration to avenge
the inception of the war. Probably
neither charge would be correct. 1t is
quite likely that the American public will
give due weight to the testimony of eacl
general, as we'll as that given by subor-
dinate officers. and reach the final con.
clusion that a portion of the meat was
good and a portion of it bad.
The evident attempt to dignity the
question into a national issue advertise!
the political poverty of the democratic
party in its search for a platform. If thu

is Mile. Couesdon, who, according to an
eminent journalist, has made an extra
ordinary number of prophecies which
have come true" 1t is stated on the best
of authority that she foretold the awful
fire of the Bazaar de la Charlie. the sud
den death of Felix Faure. the Dreyfus
case and other extraordinary things.
Her fame seems to be established in the
line of forecasting events, and those who
know her look forward with confidence
to the fulfllment of every prophecy that
falls from her lips. This extraordinary
person has recently made sundry and
diverse predictions concerning America
which, at this mo. are of peculiar inter-
est to our people. After a numbe of pre-
%liminaries leading up to her reading of
the horoscope of our beloved country.
this is what she said to an American
visitor:
1t will not be easy;
War will come;
Again it will come;
1t will not be easy.
I see q. great day coming-a great day
for America.
All America, north and south, under
one government, will be united.
The great American Republic will
stretch from pole to pole.
The day is not far distant in the life of
q nation.
Great statesmen will strive to bring the
whole continent under he American flag.
War will not be waged to bring this
about.
Mexico will ask for admission to the
United States after the death of President
Diaz and it will be granted.
The South American countries will see
the prosperity and happiness of Mexico
under the American flag.
They, too, will ask to be admitted, and
their wish will be granted.
Canada will remain longest out Of the
Union.
America will have another great war.
1t will be a greater war by far than that
with Spain.
1t will not be with Germany, neither
will it be with France.
1t will be with a country that is now
making loud professions, of friendship for
America.
I cannot give you reasons. I can only
tell you the things 1 see.
Statesmen will see clearly the wisdom
of my predictions.
Germans in America will never permit
their fatherland to wage war against the
United States.
Englishmen have no such power.
1t will be the most terrible war ever
waged.
But America will be finally triumphant,
Then the American navy will be the
greatest in the world.
A great change will come over the
United States.
A time of great trouble is coming.
This will be due to her rich men.

JUDGE VAN WICK.

Tonight the aristocratic end of the
democratic party in New York will ccle-
brate the memory of Thomas Jefferson
with a menu of rich lands and costly
wines. The much advertised ten-dollar
sparkliest Of sparkling champagne, and
oratory will make the welkin ring. To-
night the dominant wing of the New York
democracy will lay the foundations for
its campaign Of 1900, by a proclamation Of
its purposes between the lines of its &C.
credited mouthpieces at the festal board.
7 1t is freely predicted that Judge Van
Wyck, late candidate for governor
against Mr.. Roosevelt. will be formally
entered as a presidential aspirant against
Mr.. BRYAN. Even Our esteemed contem-
porary, the Anaconda Standard, leans to
this view Of the situation this morning,
though it insisted last fall, during the
Montana campaign, that Judge Van
WICK worshipped free silver at the shrine
made sacred by the boy orator of the
Platte. It even seduced a number of
usually astute and far-sighted Montan-
ians into voting the democratic ticket on

1t appears, however, that the official
political predictor of our esteemed con-
temporary was as wobbly in the case of
Judge Van Wyck as it was in its earlier
gyrations over the election Of the other
Van Wyck to the n2ayoralty of Greater
New York. 1t was a clear case of mistake
in both instances.
Last fall the Inter Mountain expressed
the belief that Judge a Wyck's cam

of a great copper mining and smelling
property simply proclaims his ignorance
of what the experience of the world has
demonstrated to be true. Without thor
ough scientific ability the manage
ment of such a vast enterprise could not
be maintained with any proper regard to
the stock holding interest, for it would
be characterized by continuous and
irremediable losses which in the end
would involve the Investment in hopeless
ruin. Modern mining and modern metal

1t is hoped therefore that in the inaugu-

from Sulphur. He gives a glow
ing description of the reunion and
speaks unstintedly of the hospital
ity of that people. Some disap-
pointment was had in securing
tents and the doors of the resi-
dences were thrown open to the
old soldiers.
1t is estimated that Sulphur en-
tertained 5000 people during the
three days of the reunion. 1t was
largely attended by Ardmore peo-
pie, many of whom took prominent
parts in the exercises. j. W.
Ownby added new laurels to his
reputation as an orator in deliver
ing the address of welcome. Some
of Ardmore's young men made
speeches that would have done
credit to orators of ripper years.
Among them are w. NJ. Franklin,
commander camp Sam Davis. and
J. c. Graham and Sum-
mers Hardy. Other speakers from
were Commander Young
blood, Judge NJ. L. Garrett and
Rev. n. F. Law.
The grand march, headed by the
Durant brass band, was had Friday
afternoon at ? o'clock.
When the old soldiers marched
out, the folds of their banner un-
furled to the summer breeze, shouts
went up from thousands of throats
so deafening that the discharge of
cannon could not have been heard.
Many Indians took part in the
march and enrolled as ex-Confed-
crates.
There was plenty of barbecued
meats and bread for the soldiers
and their families.
There were present who enrolled
about $50 ex-Confederates and 80
sons of Confe6erates.
Mrs. j. n Worthy organized a

Refreshment stands and dance
platforms were open day and night
and business of every kind was
splendid.

ferent towns again.
