His Story Of the Negro Corporal

General Lawton never wearied of re- beating the following story, which, he said, illustrated the irrepressible good humor of the negro soldier:
 '"The night of the Fl Caney affair."" said the general, ''when my division was march, ing back to Fl Paso to take up a new po- sition the next morning, I was sitting with Major G. Creighton Webb, inspector gen. eral of my staff, and one of the plucky men I know, at the side of the road My men were filing past, and we watched them They were tired out but full of gin- ger The day was just beginning to dawn when we heard someone coming down the road, talking at the top of his lungs. He talked and laughed and laughed and talk ed, and the men with him were chatterng and joking.
 Here come the colored troops said Webb. and sure enough the Twenty-fifth Infantry came along. The man who was doing the talking was a six-foot corporal; he carried two guns and two cartridge belts loaded full, and the man to whom the extra gun and belt belonged was limp ing along beside him. The tall corporal was weighted down with his blanket and haversack, but in Glis arms he carried dog the mascot of his company.
 Here, corporal said Webb, didn't you march all last night?'
 " Yes, sir, said the corporal, trying to salute.
 "'And didn't you fight all day?'
 Sure, sir
 ." And haven't you been marching ever since 10 o'clock tonight?'
 "'Yes, sir said the corporal.
 "'Well then,' shouted Webb, what in thunder are you carrying that dog for?
 "'Why, boss, the dogs tired was the reply.
 Webb just rolled over in the dirt and laughed and cried Nike a boy"

injurious Trade Combinations.

injurious Trade Combinations. Johnston and his recent speech on trusts were printed and bound together for gen. eral distribution, in neat campaign pam phlet the people would have a deal of in- formation in a small compass. The speech in question is not lengthy covering less than four pages of the Congressional Re cord, and it should be put in every voters hands.
 This speech was upon a joint resolution offered by Senator Morgan, a resolution that the republicans of the senate must either accept or reject. This resolution is directed against the new movement of trade combinations. Instead of forming trusts in restraint of interstate commerce. they now proceed to form a gigantic corpo- ration, generally of New Jersey origin, talk ing over by lease, purchase or other com tract, the corporations that desire to enter the combination. It is the same old thing "a trust-in new form. The new form has been devised in order to avoid the Sherman and other similar laws.
 Senator Morgan attacks the enemy di- rectly in his joint resolution Any contract by two or more corporations for such purpose is declared in his resolution to be against public policy, and any person who in any way participates in such a contract is guilty of a misdemeanor, and on convic- tlon he is subject to both fine and impris- onment New Jersey combines are, in oth- and the best way to stop them is to jug the men who concoct them. Once make such offences penal, and there will be little diff ficulty in finding a way to stop them As things now stand a dozen corporations sub- ject to control and supervision in a dozen different states, can be merged into a New Jersey corporation, subject to no supervi- sion except that of New Jersey, a state that invites fees by ignoring all supervis- ory powers.
 The New Jersey business simply means that corporations can be formed, free to ravage the country without let or hin- drance As things stand a New Jersey cor poration can enter this state on it's own terms. It exists not by permission of the state of Alabama, but of the state of New Jersey, the Ishmael among states. It re- ports to New Jersey not to Alabama. Sen ator Morgan does not claim that his resolu- ton is all-sufficient, but he shows in the course of his speech that it is a legitimate and needful step in the right direction q desire to know" he says, "whether this congress will respond to the almost de- spairing demand of the people for relief against the unlawful tyranny of the corpo- rations?"
 The entire speech of Senator Morgan can be found in the Congressional Record for December 1S at page 501; but the esteemed Record is not paper of wide circulation, and the excellent and compact speech de- serves wide circulation. It should be put in the hands of every voter in the state.

A Christmas Near the North Pole

"I think Christmas, 1883, was my most memorable one," said General Greedy, the Arctic explorer. with my command was proceeding southward in the hope of obtain ing help, and about the 20th of October we ensconced ourselves in a little hut at Cape Sabine. Our supply of food was running very low and we were on very short ra- tions, everyone being allowed just food enough in each twenty-four hours to sus- tain life. Under these depressing circum- stances and amid the awful silence of the Polar night the cheerfulness that we eon- tinued to maintain remarkable. Christ mas Day came at last-ChristmaS in the Arctic regions. At 6 o'clock we had our breakfast-thin soup made of peas, carrots, blubber and potatoes. Our Christmas din- ner was served at 1 o'clock First course, a stew of seal meat, onions, blubber, pota- toes and bread crumbs. Second course, served one hour after first, a stew of raisns, blubber and milk. Dessert, a cup of hot chocolate. One of our party had some tobacco still left, and he very kindly made a cigarette for each one in our little party I will wager that in all Christen- dom that day not another present was given or received that gave such intense de- light to the recipient did those little rolls of tobacco and paper. They were quickly afiame and being puffed away at for dear life, and thus my most memorable Christmas-a Christmas near the North Pole-ended in smoke"

The Illness of ex-senator Stephen NJ.

Of whom, however, were admitted to see

Senator White has been In failing health
for a long time past and has been sub
iect TO recurrent attacks Of weakness
which have heretofore been overcome by
a little careful nursing and plenty of rest.
Three days ago he had an attack which
was thought at the time to be nothing out
of the ordinary and which, it was sup
nosed. would prove as easy of treatment
ee had the others. He was taken to his
room and put to bed and his physician
was at once summoned But MS conol-
tion Instead of improving, grew steadliy
worse and he now lies in a state winch

Yesterday the Senator's illness deVei-
oned pulmonary symptoms and shortly
before noon he was attacked with Sc
