field Misunderstanding rifles were used. At

this battle, said II. can say that every
man did his duty. Every color-bearer
was shot down. Out of 606 men. 344
went down, and out of those 31S were
killed outright or mortally wounded.
That spot should be marked" The rec
ords of Gettysburg, Chickamauga,
Fredericksburg, Franklin and Stone
River are full of regimental figures that
stand for the largest per cent. of killed
and wounded in battle known since the
most bloody battles of the Napoleonic
wars. The English officers are obliged
to expose themselves, for last year in
debate in Parliament over the possible
resort to CONSUMPTION instead of volun-
tary enlistment, it was admitted the
average English recruit could not be
held up to the mark in a sharp fight ex-
cept by undue personal exposure and
leadership on part of the officers.
CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.
Stockton Record: The consent of the
governed has been given in the Philip
pines, except in Luzon, on which island
the active majority are in rebellion
against American Government. SO far
the mugwump objection is obyiated. AS
TO the other islands, the only DIRECTORS
are the soldiers" or perhaps more
properly, the Tagalo bandits Aguinaldo
has sent to stir up trouble and who are
trying to govern the inhabitants with
out their consent. Such are the facts
as learned by the Philippine Commits
sioners, but who heeds them?

concubinage between copperheads and
other monstrosities, sitting in their
easy chairs in their offices at home and
taking counsel with diseased, distorted

THE FIRST EMBARRASSMENT.
Alameda Argus: The great embar-
rassment to England in the South
African reverses is sure to be the moral
effect. There is no question of Eng
lands ability to master the situation
finally, but the effort must now be
great deal more desperate and bloody
than was expected, which will galvanize
into increased activity the malcontents
at home, not to mention encouraging
foreign nations who may have ends to
gain to embarrass the situation It is
beginning to look as though the rule
that you can never tell where a war
will end is likely to be exemplified in
this instance

THE REASON WHY.

Some time ago we had postal agent
up this way looking over the ground
with view to giving us at least an
experimental route for free rural postal
delivery. Evidently the agent was not
much impressed with our good road ia
cilities. Certainly nothing more has
been heard of the matter But in the
meantime the rural delivery system has
been extended in Santa Clara and other
counties, and a route has been estab-
lished between Stockton and Waterloo,
and now the Stockton Record is au-
thority for the statement that in the
near future it is expected that the
Waterloo route will be extended SO as
to take in nearly the whole Of the San
Joaquin Valley.
There are now fourteen routes in OPP
mento has not one, nor does it now
seem likely that she will get a foot OF
mileage of that order. Nor, for the
matter of that, is the Sacramento Val
ley favored What is the matter? Are
road conditions so aboninable in this
great valley that it is to be wholly shut
out of the benefits of the rural postal
system? Things are not so bad as that.
though we are compelled to admit that
the least progressive sections, so far
as good roads are concerned, are those
in the Sacramento Valley and in the
mountain regions lying along the foot
hill border of that great valley.
The fact that other parts of the
State are receiving benefits and con-
veniences at the hands of the Federal
Government when this valley and cen
trail section are receiving none ought
to quicken inquiry into the reason
why" 1t will be found that it is not
a matter of politics nor of fayoritism
but that we are shut out because other
sections more invite to trial OF the de-
livery system, by reason of their better
highways Truth is, a chief obstacle to
progress and development in this valley
is it's Indifferent system of roads, very
few of them coming up to even an ap-
proach to what a good road in
a developing and thriving community
should be-.

FROM A JURIsr,s POINT OF VIEW.

Judge Noah Davis is eminent as
jurist, exalted as citizen by the es-
TEEN of his fellow citizens, is a patriot
and a strong thinker, as well as one
of the foremost of lawyers. Judge
Davis may not have warrant to speak
for the Almighty. but as he is devout
man and as he is the soul of sincerity.
his belief in the Providence overruling
the destinies Of nations Is announced
with all due reverence. The next to
the last paragraph in the quotation we
make below from a letter by Judge
Davis in the New York Tribune" we
specially commend to our readers as
presenting legal phase of the insur-
rection in Luzon not sufficiently con-
sidered Judge Davis says:
Expansion, whether for just or unjust
purposes, has largely been the mother
of American greatness, because God in
His Providence. has oyerruled man
unjust purposes whenever they orig
mated the expansion for such purposes,
and has given the same ultimately to
liberty and the equality of human
rights under the Constitution The
same overruling Power sways the pres
ent hour, The Administration cannot,
without defying God Himself, refuse to
extend the great principles of equality.
law and justice to the territory the title
and authority to govern which have
been lawfully acquired by force of our
arms and by the treaty with Spain, the
acknowledged owner for centuries. The
RESPONSIBILITIES of sovereignty have all
arisen and have attached themselves to
our Government and they cannot be
shirked or avoided.
No ipcipient rebellion against Spain
which had not ripened into a Govern
ment recognized by the law Of nations
or by our Government when our title
was acquired, can be asserted against
us, because it had reached no condition
of nationality when our title became
complete. 1t was at most an existing
rebellion against the power to rule the
island, that has ceased to exist, and the
with that power.
An existence of rebellion against the
new Government must depend upon its
continuance of the existing wrongs or
perpetuation of other and new wrongs.
Nothing of the kind is pretended even
by the anti-expansionists of this coun-
try. Our Government shows that it
seeks only to establish over the Philip
pine Islands such government Of the
people by the people as shall~protect
the rights of ALL"
