The cause given in the newspaper
dispatches that led to the dismal de-
feat of Gen. White, at the head OF
the British troops In South Africa,
will throw considerable light upon the
nrt OF warfare OH both land and sea
Gen. White attributes his failure to
the stampede Of mules. Two thou
sand Iilghlanders and Fusileers are
prisoners in the hands of the Beers,
and many lie dead upon the field.
1t is remarkable indeed with what
avidity the War Department (Mr. Al
gers dephrtmenO feed upon mules
thousands of the noble animals were
selected by the department and "im-
pressed" Into army service. Some of
them led and some followed. In our
own unpleasantness With Spain mules
caused no defeats, but they caused one
glorious victory
IL was on the coast of Cuba. where
The beautiful and graceful fleet under
the peerless Sampson, with his admir-
airs flag fluttering in the wind, at the
topmast of the New York, spiel a mule.
FOR weeks the mysterious fleet had
occupied tho time and thought of
American patriots. wondering upon
what deadly thing Admiral Sampson
was intent After the booming of great
guns had died away, the glorious news
reached us that Sampson had killed
mule at Matanzas. 1t was Il ? rious
victory and n triumphant ending of the
fleets mysterious movements. Some
people censured, aye, laughed at the
Great Captain at the time, but the de-
feat of. Gen. White goes to show that
Sampson realized that something was
wrong with the army ashore, and lie
had found 1t out-thcrc were too many
! mules. His later CORES pondcuce
shows that but for the sickness of an
| other mule sad calamities might have
followed. Mr.. AIger's species having
| been since ascertained there appears
ground for the charge OF nepotism
against him, since he made these an
pointments.
Thus. as time proves all things. Can
tain Sampson has been indicated in
his murder Of that mule and the stra-
tegical effort along the Cuban coast.

situation at length. he comes to this

.
"Thc proposition, therefore. to sub
stitute for our present currency of
Government notes and OF bank notes Sc
cured by Government bonds, one of
bank notes secured only by bank assets,
is, IN effect. n proposition to take from
the people u Kind Of money concerning
which there is no question, and to give
them in Its place one exposed to the
hazards of bank solvcncy. a number of
ingenious schemes have been devised to
meet this objection to the change, but
none of them offers any guarantee Of
success. excepting so far as it invol-
YES guarantee by the Federal Gov
crnment of the promises of the banks.
This is so evidently worse than the
present system, and SO plainly u lend
ing of the Government credit to the
banks for their own benefit, that no po-
!itical party will dare to support st.
Nil Cages recommendations of a year
ago were disregarded by Congress, and
so they will be this year if he repeats
them."
Yet Mr.. Matthew MARSHALL is not
SO infa1fible, that his assurance. that
the banks will fail in securing their pet
scheme. should be quietly accepted. He
shows us the danger to which the Vir-
gnian-Pilot has so repeatedly called at
tention, and it is for the people to take
the steps that will save them from it.
1t is true that no Congress is to be
chosen this year; but 1t will greatly en-
courage the banking lobby, which has
so much influence with this Republi-
can Congress and controls its Casting
vote" to rush its free banking" into
law, lest delays may endanger it, If the
State elections this fall so Republican;
and understanding that. the people for
this and other manifold reasons of
magnitude. Should give rebuke to the
money-power and it's party that will at
least postpone acknowledgements
being OF great Importance in this and
other matters of public interest
Next year The Democrats may win,
and that would probably cause even the
banks to hold their hand: but If Nc
Kinley be reelected, with n new Re-
publican Congress to sustain him, 1t is
a sure thing that Secretary Gage and
the banks, With their lobby, would press
their scheme of so-called reform to
enactment by this Congress at its final
session beginning in December, 1900. 1t
is true, if put into law at this winters
session, a Democratic Congress. If
elected next year, could repeal it; but
much mischief, delay and trouble would
occur before that could be done, and
it behoovcs the people, who would es-
cape this and other evils menacing
them from continued Republican rule to
scotch the snake this year, and kill it
good in 1900.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.

People entertaining all kinds Of pol
tiles are watching with interest and
anxiety the coming election in Ken
uclyS-;- ->vhias--,promiscs to be one of
bloodshed and trouble.
And strange as it may appear. it is
not so much n fight between opposing,
parties, but between factions of the
same party-the Democratic party.
Goebel. the leader of one wing of the
party, is the representative of the fac
tfsn that has been in power for n
number of years and that passed the
celebrated "Goehel bill" This leader is
fearless man. lie is n natural born
politician, and is backed by the adhcr-
ents that generally stand close to such
men.
Upon the other side, such mon as
Gen. Basil Duke, OF Confederate fame,
arc fighting. Gen. Duke has opcnly
charged Goebel as being a. 'liar" and
II "blaciguard," earning n living at
the expense of the people" Gen. Duke
was amongst the number that charged
Goebcl with "doctoring" the convention
and thus obtaining the nomination.
Whatever may be the outcome can
not be predicted ut this distance.

THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have
Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.

Women who have suffered severely
and been relieved of their ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine are
constantly urging publication of their
statements for the benefit of other wo-
men. Here are two such letters:

A Record on stariisl,.

The steamer Cleo. OF New Haven,
Capt. Haskins. has this season broken
the record in capturing starfish from
oyster beds. The steamer In the past
eight weeks has taken up over 5000
bushels OF starfish from the vicinity
OF the Mansfield beds at Bayside. The
oyster planters have recently adopted
the plan Of leaving the margin between
the channel and the oysters and also
between the beds. which enables the
steamers to dredge along the edge Of
the channel and between the oyster
beds and sipture the starfish before
they get In the beds. The enormous
catch Of the Cleo. which has averaged
100 bushels per day. is carried daily to
Warren. where It is mainly given to
the farmers. who cnrry the fsh away
for fertilizing purposes. The starfish
nre not moro plentiful than during for
mer seasons. but the system Of dredg-
ing along the margins of the beds has
been productive Of larger captures OF
the pests. and may in time practically
exterminnte them on sections occupied
by oysters.

Tho Two Nebrnskans Becoming Friends
Again.
It is observed that since William ].
Bryan has assumed the responsibility
Of defeating the expansion policy Of the
administration he is mentioned In terms
of great respect and even Of admira-
tion by j. Sterling Morton, the next
greatest man In the state of Nebraska.
There was time when these two emf
nent Nebraskans did not agree upon
any proposition. The bitterness Of their
animosity caused great sorrow in the
souls Of mutual friends, but their COM
mon fear of the destruction of the re-
public by the imperialistic tendencies
Of the administration seems to have
softened their hearts, as 1t were, and
In the last issue of our esteemed con-
temporary, the Conservative, which is
edited by Mr.. Morton, lie speaks in the
most sympatletiOc terms of his for
mer rival. For the first time in his life
he admits that Mr.. Bryan is ''distin-
guished Nebraskan," joins "his many
friends and admirers in welcome
home and admits that his outspoken
antagOnism to expansion and anneXa-
ton as advocated by leading support
ers of President Mckinley lifts him
above mere 16-to-1 politicians" But
he does not stop there. Wrapped in his
admiration and confidence he declares
that separated from his peculiar views
upon the coinage question and the func-
tions of federal judiciary. Mr.. Bryan

A sailing dinghy OF fair size lay on
the wharf tugging at its painter as the
current caught it. A piping breeze
hummed In the great oaks and elms
which lined the shore, and curled the
clear waters into crispy wavelets.
Carefully the young fellow arranged
a cozy nest amidships for his compan-
ION and gave her a hand in. Then,

them spinning along before 1t at a
glorious rate. The excitement had
flushed her cheeks and made her dark
eyes shine. Gerald Thornton's glance
betrayed the admiration he had SO

annual inroad made by the trade in
Christmas trees. About 1,000.00O trees
are supplied to the markets of northern
Germany each year. and already Il
quarter of that number of strong.
young trees have been shipped from
the little station of Kronach alone. No
