The Liverpool correspondent of
the Daily Mail te!egraphs that
news has been received there of
the terrible fate of Lieut.. Bell, a
British officer, with the Belgian
troops in the Congo Free State
He was captured BY the natives,
after fierce fight, and was after
wards killed and eaten. The
British Government cannot expect
10 annihilate the African canibals
by furnishing them with British Off
GERS for dinner. Better try a few
cargoes Of Ayers embalmed beef.
That would have the desired effect.
Aguinaldo's army is defending
Calumpit energetically, which IS
said to indicate that the rebels are
finally making that place their last
ditch or stand, which the Ameri-
cans expected them to make at
Malolos. For the first time the
Filirinos are employing artillery.
They brought two guns into ac-
ton IN the trenches before Calum-
pit, firing modern shrapnel, which
burst over the heads of Gen.
Wheaton's men without effect.

four years / sat in this body with Mr.. JEFF
ferson Davis and saw the preparations going
on from day to day for the overthrow Of
this government. With treason in his
heart and perjury upon his lips he took the
oath to sustain the government that he
meant to overthrow.
"Sir, there was method in that madness.
He, in cooperation with other men from his
section and in the cabinet of Mr.. Buchanan,
made careful preparation for the event that
was to follow. Your armies were scattered
all over this broad land, where they could
not be used in an emergency; your fleets
were scattered wherever the winds blew and
water was found to float them, where they
could not be used to put down rebellion;
your treasury was depleted until your bonds,
bearing 6 per cent, principal and interest
payable in coin, were offered for So cents
on the dollar for current expenses, and no
buyers. Preparations were carefully made.
Your arms were sold under an apparently
innocent clause in an army bill providing
that the secretary of war might, at his dis
erection, sell such arms as he deemed it for
the interest Of the government to sen.
Sir, eighteen years ago last month sat
in these halls and listened to Jefferson Davis
delivering his farewell address, informing
us what our constitutional duties to this
government Were, ana tnen ne lett and en-
tered into the rebellion to overthrow the
government that he had sworn to support,
l remained here, sir, during the whole of
that terrible rebellion. l saw our brave
soldiers by thousands and hundreds of thou
sands, aye, l might say millions, pass
through to the theater of war, and ! saw
their shattered ranks return. l saw steam
boat after steamboat and railroad train after
railroad train arrive with the MANNED and
the wounded; l was with my friend from
Rhode Island General Burnside) when he
commanded the Army of the Potomac and
saw piles of legs and arms that made
humanity shudder; l saw the widow and
orphan in their homes and heard the weep
ing and wailing of those who had lost their
dearest and their best. Mr.. President, l
little thought at that time that l should live
to hear in the senate of the United States
eulOgies upon Jefferson Davis living-a living
rebel eulogized on the floor of the senate of
the United States! Sir, l am amazed to
hear it and l can tell the gentlemen on the
other side that they little know the spirit
of the north when they come here at this
day and with bravado on their lips utter
eulogies upon a man whom every man,
woman and child in the. north believes to
be a double-dyed traitor to his government"
Omaha daily bee., 1899-07-23
Typewriter Records

me permanency of typewriter records is
a subject Of no little importance, says the
Albany Law Journal, and it is worthy of
note that a series of experiments Is being
conducted in Boston with a view of estab-
fishing the relative value Of the leading
brands of typewriter ribbons. Robert T.
Swan, the state commissioner of public
records for the state of Massachusetts,, is
doing some good work in this direction. lie
finds that of the different colors used for
typewriter ribbons, the red, green, blue and
purple are not permanent, black being the
only one that will stand the tests to which
he subjects the writing.
The legislature of Massachusetts,, which
recently adjourned, passed an act permit
ting typewriter records to be accepted as
official when approved by the commissioner
OF public records, New York. Pennsylvania
and New Jersey having previously taken
similar action. In other words, no such
records Will be accepted unless the mate
rlals used are up to the standard, and the
commissioner is expressly authorized by
the statute referred to to withdraw his ap-
provaf at any time when he shall find that
the articles used fall below such standard.
This Is a very important matter which
should be acted upon in every state, for the
fading OF public records SO as to become
illegible is something that ought to be care
fully provided against, otherwise it were
much better to keep in force the provision
that legal records shall be written onry with
pen and ink.
1t is possible, we think. to produce type
written records that are quite as permanent
as any produced by writing with a pen, and
in view of the greater legibility of the
former, as we'll as their economy OF produc-
ton, 1t is desirable that this should be done.
While the states generally have no official
corresponding to the commissioner of ray
lie records in Massachusetts,, it ougbk this
made somebody's business to s~upenoney a
matter of permanency OF public rnce. I'll
