General Arthur Macarthur, who com.

Mia, and subsequently, the division that
In its swift and continuously fighting
chase OF the insurgents, executed one
of the most remarkable military move
ents on Q cord, has been an army
officer since his seventeenth year.
When he was appointed Adjutant OF
the Twenty-fourth Wisconsin volun-
teers, in 1862, he was so small In stature
and so weak In voice that be excited
the general laughter OF his regiment
whenever he piped out command.
One night after dress parade he over
heard his Colonel remark: ~ shall
write to the Governor to send me q
wooden man for Adjutant.n Stung to
the quick by the words and the laugh.
ter that followed, he said quietly: I'm

then maybe they'll come to like me
better
Throughout the entire Civil War he
showed that he could fight. He was
frequently commended in general or
ders, and the close OF the war saw the
boy Adjutant transformed into the
hoy Colonel" and rewarded with a
commission In the regular army. VIVA,

Mere Important than Finance.

Col. Wetmore, . millionaire of ST.
Louis, is spending his money and time
fighting monopolies. He was warm
supporter Of Bryan in 1886, and is for
him again in 1900. But he says the
Antitrust issue is moro Important
than finance. This is the way he ex-
presses himself:
''Of vastly greater Importance to the
people than the financial issue is the
question of trusts. 1t should be mace
the leading issue of the next Presi-
Dental campaign, and everything pos
sible should be done to stamp out the
evil before it grows to proportions that
will enable it to throttle the people.
think the people may be relied upon to
settle it, and settle it right, as they
have ultimately settled every import
ant question that has been presented
10 them for settlement.
SAT the rate things are going now it
is easy to see that after all of the in
dustrial concerns are consolidated into

thing in this or that line OF trade, il
does not require a great stretch of i'm
agination to conceive that these trusts
will be consolidated under one manage
ment- This would fix the control OF
all commodities and the power to name
the price of everything in common use.
Anybody who knows anything about
the power of wealth knows that
such combine would be stronger than
the government itself. The courts would
be powerless TO deal with it or its en-
ployes, and municipal Assem- blies, state
legislatures and even the Congress of
the United States would be subject to
its blighting influences.
with such consideration in effect
the individuality of the people would
be gone. We would pass from nation
of producers to a nation of employees,
subject in all things to the dictation of
the gigantic monopoly which would
control all things. We would be left
without hope of lettering our condi-
ton. One concern would employ all
the labor, and it naturally follows that
1t would fix the price of that labor. II
any man were to refuse to accept that
price he would be left without employ
ment or the means of earning an hon.
est livelihood. 1t would take away the
hopes of the youth Of the country, the
bulwark of the nation, the strength
upon which America has built itself up
as great power among the nations Of
the earth"

Trouble In Cuba.

The latest news to date indicates
trouble between United States and Cuba.
II the United States can preserve peace
and order on the island it is more than
has been done there for the 80 years
past. The latest telegram says:
''The situation has become most alarm
ing. To all appearances the Cubans
are about to make armed manifestations
against the United States and its mode
of governing the islands, although the
conservative element still hopes for
peaceful arrangements. This state of
affairs was brought abruptly to a
head last Saturday by partial quar-
rel between Gen. Gomez and Gen. Brooke
which has been forming for the last two
months.
''The first move has been made by the
army. 1t will probably be supported
by many Cubans. The army, which is
really represented talthough many dis
pute his authority by Gomez, is par
ticularly bitter against Brooke and his
policy. The soldiers declare they have
been miserably fooled and trapped by
the Americans. They look upon the
exchange OF a gun for s75 as an igno-
minious transaction for them, as they
have not been defeated by the Ameri-
cans and consequently they refuse to
exchange"

Wouldn't Hear.

Now that rigadier-General King Is
coming home from the Philippines, ow-
ing to failing health, an incident re-
lated OF him In a letter just received
will be OF interest, especially as 1t re-
lates to men from this section OF the
country who were under his command.
1t was at the battle OF Pasig, and the
Idaho volunteers had been ordered to
advance and storm the enemy's position.
Just.as they had got started, Gen. King
made a discovery which caused him TO
think the movement too hazardous,
and he ordered the regiments return.
But the boys from the Gem OF the
Mountains, number OF whom are ma
tives Of Utah, had been well started
and we're deaf to the recall. Gen. King
saw it, and exclaimed holly, ''Let the
d-n fools go; they'll al be killedw
But the General was too good soldier
to allow matters 10 20 1t that. In
stantly he gave orders for a general
charge, and while battery OF Utah
light artillery was pouring In hot shot
to cover the quick advance Of the Ida
hoans, other regiments were charging
forward to save from being overwhelm-
ed the forward line that was climbing
up the hill close to the Filipino en-
trenchments. The Idaho men were
not left In the lurch for an instant,
thanks TO the decisive action OF Gen.

Four Vacancies.

When Congress meets in December
four seats in the senate chamber
will be vacant. The vacancies are
due to the failure OF the legislatures of
California, Delaware, Pennsylvania and
Utah to elect successors to senators
whose terms expire 4th of March.
The governors of California and Penn
sylvania have, each, appointed senators
and the question of seating them will
be discussed at length in the early days
of the session. In such cases beginning
as far back as 1894 when the first case
was brought before the senate the de-
cisions have all been one way, namely,
against seating the appointees OF gov
ernors OF states when the legislatures
failed to elect.
But We are living now in strange
times, and it Is not At all improbable
that the senate, the most dignified OF all
bodies in the land, will override the
precedents prevailing for more than one
hundred years and seat the applicants
sent 70 knock at the door by the gov
ernors OF California and Pennsylvania.
In 1898 when Mantle, Of Montana,
was rejected the vote was very close.
The Republicans have majority OF
eighteen in the next senate and if they
should wish to increase that majority
to twenty they can easily do so. To
leave old land marks and depart from
old customs and traditions have been
hard things for the senate to do, but
these are times Of new departures, and
the unexpected may happen on the
senate floor as readily as the govern
ment can seek conquests in the east.

To Recall Brooks.

WASHINGTON, May l5.--Tt was cur
rent report at the war department to-
day that General Brooke, military gov
ernor Of Cuba, will be recalled. The
report is not yet positively confirmed,
as both Secretary Aleer and Adjutant-
General Corbin decline to discuss the
subject.
General Brooks administration of
affairs In Cuba, however, has not given
satisfaction to the department, and
much Of the trouble experienced by the
United States authorities on tho island
Is attributed to his alleged lack of ex.
ecutiye ability. Communication are
received daily at the war department
protesting against what are asserted 10
be arbitrary orders issued by the mil
itary governor.

Positions for Ex-Seldiers.

st. Louis, Missouri, is taking wise
step in behalf of the discharged volun-
teers who have returned to that city.
Their friends say that work and not
charity, positions and not bauquets,
are what they need. Since the muster
ing out OF the volunteers large num-
Der OF them have been walking the
streets vainly seeking work and many
Of them are suffering privations greater
than they experienced in the army.
When they enlisted many Of these
brave boys gave up good positions
which were filled IN their absence and
which they find filled on their return
SO that they are forced TO seek posi-.
tons wherever friends may sugges,
openings. The conditions which con.
front some of them, are not only pain.
full but humiliating and distressing.
The ST. Louis movement Is good
one and worthy Of imitation. Ban
quets are all right, but let them be fol-
lowed Immediately with something sub
stantial-good paying places to work
where the returned soldiers may re
gain what they lost in wages while alb
sent from home in defense of their
country. Every state, yea, every com
munity should see to it that its return
ing soldier boys are not turned loose a,
recruits for the army Of the unem
pIoyed.
They deserve kinder treatment, the,
have right to better thugs.

They declare emphatically against

when Daniel j. Cannon came out of the
woods nearby and urged Miss Lovcjoy to
go for a ride. She refused. He threat

begging her to ride with him.
Upon her decided refusal he drew a
revolver and. Mrs. Washington says, de
