AGuINALDO,s ARMY.

The dispatches from Manila indicate
that Aguinaldos army will not hold to-
gether much longer. His soldiers are tired
of the fighting, having become satisfied
that they are no match for our troops.
There may be two or three more engage
ments, and then, it is probable, the war
will be over practically. What is appre-
hended is a guerilla war which may last
for years. The mountains offer a refuge for
sthe malcontents, and from their strong
holds there they may carry on a very an
noying kind of warfare.
1t is probable, however, that such terms
viii be made with the Fillpinos that prac-
ticaHy the whole population will accept
them. In that event the guerilla warfare
would not last very long, not having the
approval and support of the people. The
thought has been thrown out that, being
of a revengeful nature. the Filipinos would
never 1.-Two up to any terms they might ac-
cept from US. 1t is doubtful if this is a
correct view of the Filipino character. The
oughly conquered they will have far more
respect for us than if we had contented
ourselves with holding Manila.
1t is doubtful IL any more troops will be
ordered to Manila before il is known with
eriainty whether Aguinaldo will be able
TO continue the war beyond a few days.
Extraordinary efforts are being made to
get the President to call out all of the 1OO,-
600 men authorized by the army bill, but
he refuses to even consider the matter.
Those who are chiefly pressing it upon the
President are seeking appointments in the
army either for themselves or their friends.
The President knows. however, that if he
should put the country to an unnecessary
expense he would lesson his chances for
being his own successor. Before the Presi-
dent win order further increase in the
army he win satisfy himself whether Agui-
naldos army will go TO pieces or hold to-
gether and become more formidable than
it has yet been.

Davis outdone in Diamonds.

About the best true story-I suppose the
stories are true, as he swore they all were
told me by my friend the clerk was
about Charles L. Davis, the actor, other
wise known as calvin Joslin," says a writ
er in the Louisville Commercial He was in
the lobby of the st. Charles, in New Or
leans, when man from Chicago stepped
in front of him and looked over his head
in search of an acquaintance, who he sup
posed was in the hotel lobby. Davis mis-
taking the Chicago mans purpose, remark
ed: "Ah, l see you admire my diamonds
This one''-indicating the stone on his shirt
bosom-"cost me $1,000 These''-showing
his cuff buttonS-"cost me s., 500 each, and
my wife has a trunkful up in our room"
The Chicago man did not say much, but
that evening, by arrangement with the
head waiter, Davis was placed at supper
alone at a table where were several va
cant chairs. Presently seven men, all com
mercial travellers, entered the dinins-roon.
and each one had large cut glass fruit
dish fastened on his breast, while glass
prisms hung pendent from each coat and
vest button.
Soberly marching to Davis table. the
seven men took the vacant seats, and the
Chicago man entertained the actor with;
"Ah, l see you admire our diamonds
This cne"-pointing TO the fruit dish-"cost
me So, 100000. These" Indicating the prisms
-"cost $250,000 EACH and we have three
car LOADS like them at the depot waiting
to be sidetracked.' Davis not only changed
his table, but went to another hotel

NO EFFORT TO GET THE Truth.

The inference from an interview with
Mai. John S. Cohen published in the At
lanta Journal, is that no effort was made
to correct the erroneous impression which
the Third Georgia Volunteers had as to
the responsibility for the treatment the
regiment received at the Savannah quar-
antine station. 1t seems that the regi-
ment expected 10 be mustered out in this
city, and were satisfied to be mustered
out here, but were so indignant at the
treatment received at the qarantine sta
ton that the officers voted to be mustered
out at some other place, and, not being
permitted to go to Atlanta, Col. Berner de-
cided to go to Augusta.
The following is an extract from the in
terview with Maj. Cohen: Some sur
prise has been manifested that there we're
objections on the part of the regiment to
being mustered out in Savannah. Col
Berner has been blamed by some for not
wishing to remain in Savannah. The
truth of the matter is just this: The men
were shamefully treated by the quaran-
tine officials and we were told that the
city of Savannah was to blame Col, Ber-
ner took vote of the officers. and they
were unanimous in the wish that the reg
iment be mustered out at some point other
than Savannah. He accordingly asked to
go to Augusta, when he found that we
could not come to Atlanta"
1t would not have been a difficult matter
to find out whether Savannah was respon-
sible or not for the treatment which the
regiment received at the quarantine sta
ton. Did Col Berner or any other officer
of the regiment undertake to find out
the truth of the matter? 1t is fair to an
swer this question in the negative, be-
cause inquiry would have disclosed the
fact that the quarantine is being enforced
by the Marine Hospital Service. The
quarantine station was being operated by
the general government when the Third
Georgia had it's experience there. And il
seems that even Maj. Cohen, i'm his in
terview, does not take the trouble to say
| that the regiment made a mistake in hold
| ing Savannah responsible for the things
of which it complained. 1t may be that
Mai. Cohen was not reported as fully as
he intended to be, or else he had not
learned at the time he was interviewed
| that the regiment had acted under mis-
| apprehension of the facts. We cannot be-
lieve that he would willingly let an op-
portunity pass to do justice to Savannah.
The Third Georgia has many friends
here, and when the regiment was here ON
it's way to Cuba the people tried to be
| particularly kind to it. They made spe-
cial efforts in its behalf. They do not re-
greet having done So On the contrary
they are glad that they had a chance to
show the regiment their appreciation of
its officers and men. But they would like
to know why no effort was made by either
| the officers or the men 10 find out if Sa-
vannah had given them cause for grew
| ance.

TNCApAnIE OF DOING JUSTICE.

Very few of the Republican newspapers
are capable of discussing justly and fair
ly questions pertaining to the negroes of
the South. This statement is based upon
the remarks of some of them on the re-
cent iynchings of negroes in the Southern
states. The Boston Advertiser wants the
Republican party to put a stop TO these
outrages," and the Indianapolis News says
that scarcely a journal of repute has the
courage to condemn, without reserve, the
perpetrators of these outrages."
It would be an easy matter TO quots
from other Republican papers opinions
similar to the foregoing but it is uhneces-
sary TO do so. The whole country knows
that the South has no chance of being
dealt with justly by the Northern Republi-
can papers in any case in which the ne
gro is concerned. If white men were
lynched they would have little or nothing
to say. They have little or nothing to say
in condemnation of negroes who commit
the nameless crime which is the cause Of
most of the lynching outrages. Their
sympathies are entirely with the negroes.
The reason of this seems to be that the
negroes are Republicans. The Republican
papers appear to feel that they must de
fend che negroes whether they are in the
right or in the wrong. simply because they
vote the Republican ticket.
The Boston Advertiser however. is mis-
taken in thinking that the Republican
party has anything to do with enforcing
-. L.,
in which federal laws are violated. The
Republican party, it is true, has control
of the general government, but the gen.
eral government isn't going to interfere in
matters which belong exclusively to the
states.
The indianapolis News doesn't read the
newspapers of the South or It would not
have made the statement which we have
quoted from its columns-that Is. if it
wanted to be honest. At a matter of fact,
the Southern papers have been much more
severe in their condemna ton of the recent
lynchings in this state, Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi than the newspapers of the North
have been. They have condemned the
lynchers without reserve. They have made
no excuses for them. They have said a
great deal more in condemnation of lynch
ing and lynchers than the Indianapolis
News ever said in condemnation of the
men guilty of the wholesale lynching
which occurred in Ripley county, in its
own state, not very long ago.
1t seems to us that the Northern Re-
publican papers are very neglectfuI of the
crimes which occur in their own communi-
ties. When they have lynching almost
at their very doors they don't appear to
be nearly so much shocked as when ne
gro in the South is lynched. Why is this
so? Is the lynching of a negro in the
South a greater crime than the lynching
of a white man In the North?

Tricks I'm All Trades.

There are tricks IN all trades but ours, -
remarked one member of a group seated
in the lobby of a South Broad street hotel
last night land 1 might add there are a
few in ours" The speaker is the head OF
well known firm of wholesale grocers,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer Not so
long ago" he continued, when 1 was still
in the retail trade, we had a shrewd Irish
woman for a customer. One day she or
dered a barrel of a certain brand of flour.
We happened 10 be out of that brand, but
l told her We could send her barrel of
another brand equally as good. She as
scented and the flour was delivered A
week or so after she came into the store
and declared that she didn't like the flour
and insisted on having it taken back and
the brand she wanted sent instead. Well
We hauled the flour back 10 the store and
being still out of the brand wanted, filled
up Inc returned barrel, put in a new head
and carried it back to the woman again
We heard nothing more about the matter
for three weeks, when one day she came
into the store in a highly indignant frame
of mind I want you TO send up to my
house and haul that flour away she ex-
claimed, told you it was no good No
good. replied. Why, you know it is the
brand you ordered The woman glared at
me. II Is no Sucn tnlnS! Sne DiuTleu out
You sent me back the same barrel l had.
OF course, l denied it, laying particular
stress on her value to us as a customer
and how We would not risk losing her
trade on account of a measly barrel of
flour. Why, madam 1 calculated elo-
quently, how could you think of such a
thing? Ours is too honorable a house to
cheat its customers or to ask them 10 ac-
cept a substitute for something they liked"
Then the woman griuned at me Huh!
she retorted, that's all very fine. But l
had two bakn's out of the first barrel be-
fore l sent it back. Yes 1 asented, and
you got a full barrel in return. Doesn 4
that prove Prove nothin',' she inter
rupted. The first two bakins out of the
barrel got the second time were all right,
But I want you TO know that l always
take my flour out of the barrel with a sau-
Ger. When l got down to the third bakin'
out of that second barrel l. Yes, l in
terposed weakly, what did you do? 1
found my saucer was her answer. Then
she swept out and it was well she did, for
came near falling in faint. 1t was
months before that woman would condo
scend to trade with us again."

''There are some odd characters among
the rural population of West Virginia"
said Col. j. D. Butt of that state, ac-
cording to the Washington Post. "A short
while ago an engine on the Norfolk and
Western line ran down a small yellow cur
dog that belonged to an old farmer named
Slater, with fatal results to the cur. Now,
the deceased had been Farmer Slater's
most cherished companion for years; it
had followed him in all his wanderings,
and he was as greatly attached to it as
though it had been a human being. He
grieved soreIy over his loss, and in his en-
deavor to find solace, went TO one of the
officials of the railroad that made pre-
mature end of the canine and demanded
that another dog as nearly like the de-
parted in every respect as possible should
be given him.
ITO humor him compliance was prom
Used, and forthwith dog to match the
lost one was brought to the bereaved own
er. This was only a beginning, for one
cur after another was rendered until the
number got into three figures. Every
brute in the lot was rejected for in the
whole list not one was identical in form,
color and size with the slain. If one
was just right in color he was a trife
too heavy or too light, and if his weight
was satisfactory the color was not quite
right.
Under these circumstances, there was
no use of the railway men trying to do
more, and Slater brooded over his wrongs.
The suspicion grew that he meant to get
revenge, and he was closely watched. AS
a result he was arrested on a charge that
implicated him in an attempt at train
wrecking, and he was sentenced to Jail
for one year"

A Manila dispatch says that Aguinasdo
and his followers would be willing to ac-
cept an American protectorate of the Phil
ippines similar to the English control of
impressing it upon the Fifpinos that we
mean to govern in the Philippines about
as England governs in India and Egypt?
Meatime. if Aguinaldo and his followers
have learned their lesson sufficiently, all
that they have TO do to get their protector
ate in short order is to stop fighting and
stack arms.

make note of the fact that within a
short while now there will be in the neigh
borhood of 5000 ex-volunteer federal sol
diers back into the states citizenship.
Add ibis number to the membership of the
state/military organizations and the sur
vlving ex-Confederates, and the total will
be found quite a good-sized figure. All of
these persons have votes, and each and
every one of them is a friend of the mill

out of pity for the Cuban assembly it is
to be hoped the United States authorities
viii hesitate for time before they start
to bring that 100000 fund away from
