BLACK SHEEP.

From their folded mates they wander Tar.
Their way seems harsh and Wild
They follow the beck Of baleful STAR
Their paths are drear begucd.
Yet haply they sought but wider range,
Some lof,ier mountain slope,
And little rocked Of the country strange
Beyond the gates Of hope.
And haply bell with a Turing call
Summoned their feet to tread
Midst the crue! rocks where the deep Pitfall
And the lurking snare are spread.
Maybe. in spite Of their tamelesS days
OF ou,cast liberty,
They're sick a, heart for the home.y ways
Where their gathered brothers be.
And Of, a, night when the plains tall dark
And the hills loom large and dim,
For the shepherds voice they mutely haFk.
And their souls 20 out to him.
Meanwhile, BLACK sheep! black sheep" We cry.
Safe in the inner fold
And maybe they hear and wonder why,
And marvel out in the cold.

Fooled The indians.

The Apache Indians had hard
nut to crack when they got hold Of
our paymasters safe" said the ex-
sergeant of cavalry, who was asked
about his experiences in Arizona, to
New York Sun correspondent. "On
this particular trip | was detailed with
six men to escort him. He and his
clerk rode in an ambulance drawn by
mules, and OF course the escort were
mounted. We were in camp one
night between two forts when We were
jumped by at least 100 Indians They
killed two men before we got out, and
Of course the ambulance was left in
their hands.
"The paymaster's safe contained
about $1,000 in greenbacks. Ii
weighed something like 400 pounds
and worked with a combination. None
Of the redskins had ever examined
one at close quarters before, but they
all knew what it was hauled about
from post to post for, and Of course
they were anxious to get hold Of the
money. They first pounded off the
knob with stones, thinking the door
could then be pried open. 1t was a
failure, of course, and then they tried
their tomahawks on the chilled steel,
hoping to cut hold in it. They had
seen iron softened by fire, and the next
move was to give the safe three
hour roasting. Luckily for Uncle
Sam it was freproof. They threw
big rocks upon it while it was
still hot and it was dented here and
there, but they were as far from the
money as ever. After working away
for a night and day the safe was
dragged up the side Of a mountain
and tumbled over a Precipice 200 feet
high. They expected to see it burst
open, but the only damage done was
to break one Of the wheels off. 1t was
left lying where it fell for three or
four days, and the gang then turned
and carried it to the river and let it
soak for a whole week. 1t was
thought that this would soften it up,
and great was their chagrin when baf-
fled again. Then they tried gun
powder, but knowing nothing Of blast
ing they brought about an explosion
which burned half a dozen warriors
and left the safe as good as ever.
"The Indians were fooling with that
strong box for month or more.
They roasted it again and they gave
it another fall, and no burglars ever
worked harder to get at the long
green. They failed to get at the in
side, however and in disgust they
tumbled it into a deep ravine and
left it. 1t was II months later that
peace came and we accidentally got
track Of the safe. An ambulance and
a guard were sent for it and we found
it lying in the bed Of a creek with a
great pile of drift wood piled around
it. 1t was lonesome-looking old
safe, as you may suppose, and no
body had the slightest hope that the
money had escaped fire and water.
When we got it to the fort and blew
off the door We found the $1,000 as
snug as you please. Some Of the bills
were a little tender from the heat and
some had grown moldy from the wa
ter, but Uncle Sam redeemed every
dollar and the paymaster was made
happy again. When the APaches
heard Of our getting the money one
of them, who had worked hardest on
the safe, growled at me
White man some fool, Indian
more fool, and the iron box great big
damn fool

The Republican Baltimore Ameri-
can says: at is futile to hope for

and loss of life through disease and
on the firing line" The Republican
Pittsburg Dispatch says that "those
who insist on the sending of any

Americans to fight Filipincs and to
be attacked by the climate; to spend
from 500, 100000 to $780,
100000 per year in the war of
subjugation, and to lenghten the
list of lives already sacrificed for the
cause of conquest, will have to bear
the responsibility for results" The
Republican Boston Advertiser SAYS:
''The theory that war is being waged
in the Philippines merely to sup
press disturbance and to restore and
preserve order is no longer tenable."
The Republican San Francisco
Chronicle says: "The question now
is, do the American people want to
resolve their war for humanity into
bloody conquest of subjugation?"
The Republican Newark Advertiser
says: THE fatuous policy of the
Government has made useless all the
splendid valor of our devoted troops
in the late campaign and rendered
more difficult the problems which we
set out to solve in the Philippines.

"The democrats with a strong
plank on this evil in their platform
will sweep every State west of
Pennsylvania.
"The farmer is feeling the iron
heel of the trust every day. Every
thing he needs to build his house or
barn with has advanced in price
from 25 to $50 per cent. His land
is not worth any more though.
Il am a democrat, and although
my party will not forsake silver or
the tariff, the antitrust idea will
overshadow everything else.
"The trusts are forcing men out
of work every day
another thing that will lead to
democratic success is this Philippine

New York, July 5.-Senator John
P. Jones of Nevada is quoted in an
interview as saying:
"The democrats certainly will

"Just how the subject should be

with the trusts, but what are you
going to do about it?
''Take the one that is most often

law that a concern shall own only
so much property. or what shall We

'|What difference does it make to
US if there were a thousand indie
pendent refneries and as many mid
die men?
II am strongly opposed to trusts.
The exact remedy for the evil is not
clear TO me. There would be no
trusts if it were not for the gold
standard. the shrinking currency
and falling prices"
''Does the anti trust idea for a
democratic campaign issue mean
that Bryan will be the candidate?"
Certainly. - It will be Bryan and
Mckinley over again. That does
not mean that the silver issue will
be shelved, either. II will be rather
overshadowed probably by the anti
monopoly movement. There are
many people who will never under
stand the currency question, and in
the face of semblance of prosperity
the silver issue may be submerged
for time. It will not stay down,
however"
Glow is the Philippine situation
regarded in the west?"
I'm California, where all the troops
have been shipped, the people have
made money out of it and may want
the Philippines. I can not see what
anyone else can want of them 1

Mr.. Belmont, of New York, before

out an interview in which he declar-
ed his preference for president in
1900, the Hon. A. p. German, of
Maryland. Senator German is a
democrat OF the old school, a states.
man of large experience, and would
make a most acceptable president,
one that every democrat could cheer
fully support, and every citizen feel
assured that the affairs of the nation
would be safe under his guidance.
Maryland made a mistake when il

senate, a republican nonentity for
Arthur Pue Gorman-a mistake that
will be corrected by the people of
that state at the earliest possible
