adapted to purely military command. but
not to the details of civil administration In

Lee or General Wood would quickly put af-
fairs in such good shape that news from
Cuba would soon be uneventful and of a
routine nature. very much as news now Is
from Porto Rico.

THE NEW "soLDIER OF THE LEGION"

From the Springfield Republican.
soldier of the legion lay starving in the
camp,
The girls were not around him, the grass
it was too damp.
And he loathed the cold potato and the
bread which broke his fast,
And wept for the cold bottle and the hot
birds that were past.
And comrade kaelt beside him in the
chill and falling dew,
As he heard of the deserters, and he swors
he'd slip off too;
While the boys went serenading, just to
make the colonel kind
Playing softly, playing sadly-playing "Ba-
con on the Rind.'
Said the soldier of the legion, as he heard
the music's storm,
"Give my best girl the brass buttons which
are on my uniform;
She can fix her shirt waist with them; she
can fix them on string.
On the string where she has had me, for q
year or more by jung.
I would dare all dangers for her-neNep
show the foe my back
But tho bravest heart VIII weaken afte1
weeks upon bareback"
Then the soldier of the lesisn left the army
far behind
And the band kept on a-Riaying-pIayin
"Bacon On the Bind"

THE DIsPENSARY BILL.
From the Selma Times.

FROM tne oeimd Times.
The dispensary bill has suddenly doomed
up as a disturbing element in the body
polite of this state. 1t has overshadowed
every other important question, and no
matter how it is settled by the present gen.
eral assembly it will inevitably be the para
mount question in the state election next
year. The advocates of the dispensary
have challenged to battle on that Issue and
their opponents will not hesitate to accept
the issue and fierce contest will be waged.
From the present outlook the Kolb cam
paigns raised but gentle zephyrs compared
to the gale which is expected to attend the
coming dispensary and anti-dispensary con-
test. The present struggle is but a skirm-
ish along the picket lines, the decisive bat
tie will be fought in 1900.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
Constant popping wears away the heart of
stone.
When a woman says her prayers, why
does she always turn her toes in.
1t isn't that widows know such lot more,
but they can make SO much out of so little.
It's discouraging the many ways a man
can get scratched by the pins a woman
wears.
A modest girl won't look half as queer
when she knows you saw her stockings as
the other kind will that thinks you did
when you didn't.

From the Florence Herald.

The people of Lauderdale county have
many of them, for the first time heard of
Senator Sowell. of Limestone, who repre-
sents the two counties in the senate by
joint arrangement, by his excluding them
from the dispensary bill. The Herald
would like to know by whose authority the
senator did this thing in the senate with
out even asking for an opinion or express
sion from the people. Lauderdale repudI-
ates the action of this pseudo statesman
who represents her by courtesy and not by
the will of the people. Let her two rep
resentatives speak for her In the lower
house, as they represent the people and
were elected by the people. The Herald
resents the interference of Senator Sowell as
prejudicial to the interests of the county.

Very many think that the dispensary will
solve the liquor questionable most trouble

should apply to the whole state, Il to any
parts of it. In order to give it a fair, full
test. Admitting that Ben Tillman is the

nit prejudice to turn our heads against rea-
son-against trying a remedy, IL 1t be good;
for out of Nazareth came the Savior of the

bers of the house of representatives assert
their manhood, and we are confident that
our members from Henry will have the
backbone to vote for the law.

REFORMS FROM THE SECOND.

1t may be a coincidence. and it
may confirm the report that the
Second district has the best men in
the State, but at any rate it is an
undisputable fact that all of the re-
forms proposed in the last legis-
lature came from this district.
Senator Somerville and Represent
atiye Larson are entitled to the
credit of placing foreign corpor-
atiOns on the same footing with
domestic corporations, and com
polling these foreign corporations
to pay their just share of the taxes
of the State The fees required by
the bill, now law, will place about
$500, 600 into the State treasury this
year Both of these men have APP
parently earned their little stipend
oThos Torson of the Watonwan-
Martin district must be given the
credit for taking the railroad and
warehouse commissioners from the
appointive power of the Governor,
and placing them on the elective
basis-direct from the people To
Gilbert Gutterson of Blue Earth is
given the credit for a reformation of
the taxation of insurance companies,
and to the Hon. J. F.. Jacobson of
Lac qui Parle must be given the
credit for some hard fighting for his
bill to increase the railroad gross
earnings tax from three to four per
cent. which he carried through the
house and which was defeated in
the Senate by one vote. Mr.. Jacob
son led many other fights in the
cause of reform.
Down in the Rock county district
Senator Miller and representative
Dyer were the authors of several
reform bills on the taxation of eX-
press and telegraph companies. and
while the companies succeeded in
mastering majority of members
against the measures imposing just
taxes upon them these men. with
other Second district members,
have commenced the fight that will
compel parties to adopt into their
party platforms the reforms which
the people SO loudly call for
