AS SHERMAN wOULDHAvE DONE lr

Lord Butler tried to force the
crossing Of the Tugela river by rush
ing at the Beers as bull dog goes at
a hog straight ahead, with his eyes
shut. And the result is that he loses
his artillery and a thousand of his
men.
Old soldiers i'm this country are re-
calling the way General Sherman
crossed the Tennessee river, three.
quarters of mile wide and running
like mill race, in the face OF Hoods
army at Chattanooga. How he made
a great show of forcing a crossing at
one place and then one dark night
suddenly flung bridge of boats
across the torrent at another place
and when the mists cleared away i'm
the morning showed to the astonished
Confederates whole army corps,
stretched along the Lookout side of
the river and safely entrenched.
Sherman wouldn't have lost any guns
at the Tugela river-and he would
have crossed the river.
Sherman faced a bigger and better
army and "A wiler commander all the
way from Atlanta to the Sea than
either Butler or Methuen or GatacI e
had before him and he never lost a
battle. And it was because he was a
soldier as well as a tighter.
England would have done well to
have been instructing some of her
commanders these past twenty years
in the art of war as illustrated by
some of the campaigns in the Ameri.
can Civil War.

columns repulsed and in grave danger

Mother England surely looks out

But they forget who imagine that

No Danger of Endemic.


A number of people have requested
that the public schools be closed this
week for fear Of an epidemic of scarlet
fever, but the beard has carefully in
vestigated and is on the alert to dis
cover any signs that an epidemic is
threatened. There has been several
cases in town, but they are isolated,
and all have recovered as quickly as
could be expected. The last case is
that of Miss Ruth Hull, and DR.. Full
ton reports that she is doing nicely.
The impression has got abroad that
every other house had it's patient,
DR.. Fulton informs the REGISTER
that at present there seems to be no
cauee whatever for worry. The
schools close this week and during
holiday all danger OF an epidemic
spreading at school ought to have dis
appeared.

THE DEATH OF GENERAL LAWTON.
To every American who has fol-
lowed with care the reports of the cam
paign in the Philippines, the death of
General Lawton will bring shoc ok Of
regret and almost sense of personal
loss.
General Lawton was in nearly ev-
cry respect an ideal American soldier.
Daring and dauntless, dynamo
of energy, tireless of body, tenacious
of purpose. having no other thought
when in the field than to get after the
enemy and keep after him, yet pru-
dent and skillfut i'm the handling of
men, well learned in the art and the
science of war. For thirty-eight
years he has worn the uniform of his
country and during all those years
where the duty was most dang erous
and the toll the most arduous there
he has delighted to he.
He lived the life of a soldier and he
died a soldiers death. God rest his
soul

SENATOR BAKER has been made
chairman of the civil service COM
mittee of the Senate, a position which,
politically, is more important than
any other with the single exception of
the chairmanship of the ways and
means committee. The chairman of
the Senate civil service committee is
brought into contact with the Presi-
dent and all of the cabinet and other
heads of departments as there are ever
questions to be settled touching the
rule upon which hinge nearly all Of
the appointive places and of salaries.
OF necessity the head of this commit
tee must be lawyer and good ore,
Unqestionably our Kansas Senator in

THE NEW CURRENCY BILL,

The new currency bill which passed
the House Monday with forty votes to
spare, fourteen Democrats being
counted among its supporters, does
not retire the greenbacks, as many
suppose but ii does provide that
when once in the treasury they shall
not be drawn out except i'm exchange
for gold. This is simply getting back to
first principles and putting astop to the
endless chain business The original
design of the greenbacks was to bring
gold into the treasury, not to take
gold out. The new bill makes pro-
vision for carrying that design into
effect. J there will be no more rifing
Of the gold reserve as there was in the
Cleveland administration through
means of the greenbacks; and on the
other hand there will be no contrac-
tion of the currency, for the people
would rather have greenbacks than
gold for their ordinary transactions,
and will gladly leave the gold i'm the
treasury while they do business with
the greenbacks.
The new bill also meets the demand
for an increase in the issue of sub
sidiary coins from S50,0O0,0 900, the
amount allowed by the present law,
to Sl50,000,000, an increase that will
contribute very greatly to the con-
venience of the people.
The bill further provides for an in-
creased use of silver by reserving to
that metal the entire circulating
medium of the country i'm denomina-
tions of under ten dollars. 1t does
this by providing that no more gold
five dollar pieces shall be coined, and
that no bills of less denomination
than ten dollars shall be issued except
silver certificates.
The bill further extends the possi-
bility of enlarging the volume of the
currency by permitting the national
banks to issue circulation to the par
value of bonds deposited for their
security. This will increase the
circulation at over 5000 different
points i'm this country. This would
also allow an increase of nearly S3O,-
600, 600 on the bonds deposited on July
l, 1899. The bonds are abundant
security at their par value, and there
can be no reason why the increased
circulation should not be allowed.
The bill is very long, but the fore.
going summary gives fair idea of its
provisions, and is sufficient to indi- |
cate that it is measure designed to
give this country not only staple
currency, not subject to the fiuctua-
tions of changing markets or varying
conditions, but also an
abundant and flexible currency,
responding automatically to the de-
mands of trade and ample at all times
to transact the business of the country.
The money question is settled

THE desertion of nearly five thous-
and troops from the British standard
and their enlistment in the Boer
rBnks, is a more serious portent to
England than the defeat of Methuen
and Gatacre and Bullen. If the Cape
Colony Dutch should take it into their
heads to enter into an active alliance
with their llinsmen beyond the Vaal
England's trouble would be more than
doubled

X. c. Star A communication to the
New York Sun calls attention to tie
fact that the First Maine heavy
artillery lost 40 per cent of its men, in
the assault on Petersburg. At An
tietam the First Texas lost 50 per cent
during the days fighting On July >,
1868 the First Minnesota charged at
Gettysburg. The regiment was
already reduced to 262 officers and
men OF these, i'm that charge, seven.

BY the way, it has been several
days since the knockers have had
anything to say about the feebleness
and incapacity and lack Of energy of
Major General Otis, commanding the
American forces in the Philippines.
1t is doubtful if even Fred Funston
would have put more dash and vigor
and persistence and energy into the
Luzon campaign than has been
exhibited there since the rains

Wholesale Turkey Pulling.

A reporter for the REGISTER hap.
pened into the lola Creamery Tues
day and Mr.. Dudley, who runs a
poultry business in connection, in
vited him to see what was being done
in the holiday meat line. Out at the
pens ten crates of fat turkeys were
being unloaded into pen which
already held hundreds of chickens,
ducks, geese and turkeys, The
turkeys, being strangers, were fight
ing all over the pen, boxing with
their wings for all the world like
prize fighters, and picking and
choking each other. 1t is most
laughable sight. Then the reporter
followed his guide up to the third
floor where ten colored boys under
the direction of Jonas Carter were
plucking the feathers from as many
turkeys, which were suspended by
their legs from poles. The birds are
killed by cutting an artery in their
necks and then quickly stripped. In
another room were nearly 200
dressed, undressed, ranging in
weight from fifteen to twenty and
thirty pounds. Mr.. Dudley stated
tnAt this rush has been going on for
some time, about 200 birds being
shipped daily. Think of ton OF
turkey or of goose or of chicken!

FROM the later reports that have
come in of the battle at Magersfontein
it appears that the British force
marched in solid column right up to
the Boer trenches without discovering
them, the first intimation they had of
tie :presence of the enemy being a
deadly volley poured into them from
distance of only two hundred yards.
Can anybody imagine an American
army walking into such trap as
that? The precaution of having
scouts out ahead of the main column,
is so simple and obvious a one that no
American soldier would overlook il.
And yet it appears that Gen. Methuen
sent his whole force out against what / g
knew to be willy foe. with no more
precaution against surprise than he
would have taken on his English
parade ground. At this distance and
with the common knowledge of Amer
lean army tactics it seems like an un.
blunder.

THE volume of National bank notes
is one hundred million dollars less
than ii was thirty years ago. Which

considerable moonshine about the old

THERE is something pathetic once
in awhile in the irony of events. For
example, the House of Representa-
tives ON Monday passed the bill official
ly and finally establishing the gold
standard as the basis of the financial
system of this country, and then .ad-
journed out of respect to the memory
of "Silver Dick" Bland who had spent
the best years of his life fighting the
gold standard.

BooTH HARRINGTON, whose "Gen-
tleman from Indiana" made such a
hit, has new story i'm Nc
Clure's and it starts out all right. In
the first installment the hero leaps
from the position of gambling bar
ber to that of a duke, wins the reign
ing beauty, fights three duels and has a
pitched battle with six highwaymen.
A record like that bids "The Three
Musketeersn look to its laurels.
