OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Another Prominent Traitor.

Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll, who can
vassed the country for William Nc
Kinley in 1896, cannot indorse the
Presidents war of conquest. When
William commences the construction
OF his Jail in which to imprison all
who object to his policies as traitors,
he had better build a big one. as he
will from present indications. have to
incarcerate about all the voters in his
party except those holding office. We
quote from Windel's Calling gun:
"Col. Ingersoll in his great speech
at the dedication of the soldiers mon
ument at Indianapolis, said: ~ have
one sentiment for the soldier. cheers
for the living and tears for the dead.
''If it were meet to weep above the
sacred dust of the brave who have died
to render our flag stainless and keep
it in the sky, it is now in order to food
the graves of the boys who are falling
in the Philippines Islands. For they
are not fighting to add luster to 'Old
Glory, or to save Union, but as mere
machines at the behest of the admins
tration which for the time being is
the government of the United States.
s'War with Spain for which the vol
unteer took up arms has long since
ended. Congress has not declared war
against the Filipinos nor voted money
to carry on foreign war of conquest.
Then why this thunder of guns, the
flying thunderbolts of hell, and these
new made graves as numberless as the
stars? 1t is war, not in the name of
liberty, but against it. Our armes
are not adding glory to the flag. but
instead are staining that starry en-
blem OF freedom with the blood and
tears of a people lighting for the right
of self-goyernment. The soldier is not
to blame. Therefore when he falls in
such war his bier should be draped
in deepest mourning and drenched
with the tears of his fellow country
men.
''Take Col. Stotzenberg as an exam
pie. No Drawer, truer soldier ever
wore uniform or marched in the shad
ow of a flag. He had only recently
remarked that he was sick of such 6
war, and looked forward to the neal
future when he and his brave volun'
teers would be relieved from killing
men who are fighting for independ
ence. He arrived on the battlefield
fresh from the arms of his wife al
Manila. At the head of his regiment
leading a charge he fall, pierced
through the heart. What great prin
ciple did he die for? Will the admin
istration please answer.
sit has always been considered
glorious thing to die fighting for truth
liberty and eternal right. But whel
one falls in the Philippine war ther
burns no halo of glory above thei
dust, but their sad. untimely, uncalle
for death causes tears to moisten TIL
eyes of every patriot in the lands

FIGHTING CLOSE TO MANILA
News of the Latest Battle Sur
prising to Officials.
INSURGENTS GROWING BoLDEE
Large Foree. Strongly Intrenohed. Des-
perately Resists the Americans
Under General Lawton.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The news of
the heavy fighting almost in sight of
Manila and adjacent to the yards at Ca
vite where Admiral Dewey landed his
forces more than year ago was re-
celved with intense interest here. 1t is
evident to the officials that the insur-
gents either are stronger than had been
realized or that they have come to the
end of their course and are making
their last stand. Otherwise it is hard
to understand why they should come
down to the shore of the bay and fight
the warships. Adjutant General Cor
bin steadfastly maintained his conf
dence in the success of the present
movement in Luzon, and said that he
felt encouraged at the advices from
Otis that
Lawton Had Driven the Enemy
with heavy loss and that the latter
could not be reassembled in force. Still
there is great concern exhibited over
the conditions that confront the Amer
lean troops in this campaign and there
was renewal of the inquiry as to
whether or not there is to be further re-
enforcement of the troops or another
call for volunteers. The statement was
made in reply to this that Otis has, or
soon will have, all the men he asked
for, and the opinion of General Otis in
these matters, it can be said, will deter
mine the policy of the president in the
matter.
The, immediate danger is past. By
most strenuous efforts the enemy has
beenidriven back. In doing SO many
more men were Frustrated by heat than
bYtheir wounds, although the casual
ties We're quite numerous.

what was noble and patriotic
sentiment in 1876, is treason in 1899.
In 1896 John G, Fremont was the Re
publican candidate for president and
this was one of the planks of the Ma
tlonal Republican platform:
The highwayman' IS plea that might
makes right is a principle unworthy
OF American diplomacy and would
bring shame and dishonor on any GOV
eminent which gave it Endorsement.
The principle asserted in that reso-
lation Is as true in 1899 as it was in
1856 and as it will be as long as human
lty remains. 1t embodies principle
which can never change. But now
the republican party through it's adj
ministration demands that might
shall be considered right and that con-
sent of the governed is no longer nee
essary in a government of the people,
for the people.

AN ENJOYABLE OUTING.

A majority of the members Of
the Claude Hudson Concert Band
enjoyed a days outing last Monday.
The start was made just after din
ner, two hacks carrying the party
to the thriving little city of Big
Sandy. Upon their arrival there,
rooms we're engaged at the hotel of
w. w. Atchisonj the Waldorf-As-
toria Of Big Sandy.
After a rest, the band rendered
several selections. and were then
invited to visit the armory, where
the headquarters Of Big Sandy's
brass band are located and the new
instruments were examined and adj
mired. The new band is certainly
enthusiastic. Inhabitants Of the
town spoke Of thiss stating that pro
miscuous footing could be heard at
all hours, day and night.
After supper a concert was given
in the yard OF the hotel, and large
crowd was in attendance. At $3.50
refreshments including ice cream
were served the band, and after
many goodbys had been said the
start for home was made, the boys
getting in at the hour LongfelloW

THE KISSING BUG.
This Insect Has Made its Presence Known
in this Locality.

The osculatory insect known as
the kissing bug has made its ap4
pearance in Camden The bug is
said to resemble the mosquito, and
usually inAicts its bite on the lips,
which gave it the name by which
it is known.
It is black and has a small round
body, numerous legs, a kind of hook
nose, and a stinger in it's tail nearly
an inch long. Its bite is said to be
very poisonous, and in many of the
large cities people have been sent
TO the hospital as the result of its
bite, and few cases have ended
fatally.
G. N. Cowell was bitten by an in
sect a few nights ago. The bite is
under one eye, and that side of his
face is swollen more than twice its
normal size and has all the symp-
toms of the kissing bug,

FROM SMITHS COLLEGE.

Special eOrrespondenee.l
The explosion of A. J Lockhart's
thresher engine last week was one
of the most complete ever seen.
The thresher was on a heavily tim
bered lot on the farm of J. R. Her.
rim, J mile north of Wyly. When
the boiler exploded it struck tree
(about eight steps southwest Of the
engine) s feet from the ground.
This turned it a little south and
90 steps further it struck another
tree about'ten feet higher than the
first tree, cutting out the tops of
some smaller trees sta higher alti-
tude. A few steps further it struck
a tree center and fell to the ground
I80 yards from where it started.
The piece would weigh probably
near a ton, and had there been no
obstruction it would have fallen
near WHY. Itwas torninto pieces
and fragments were picked up in
the field Il miles away.
The boiler was no doubt full Of
water at the time, as the ground
was washed for a distance of 80
yards and 10 feet wide, and leaves
on nearby trees were scalded 30
feet from the ground.
4he most plausible theory for
the cause of the explosion which
has been advanced by those who
are familiar with such matters, is
that the safety valve was screwed
down too low; the steam gague not
workingaccurately, more steam was
generated (while waitingforwheatl
than was possible for the engine to
bear, hence the explosion.
Mr.. Lockhart was useful and
Woodworking citizen, and will be
greatly missed in the community.
