During the Other war.

This little story in II. Clay Trumburs
recent book. War Memories of a Chap
lain" shows how the soldiers faced priva-
ton and hunger. While before Peters
burg. doing siege work in the summer Of
1854. our men had wormy bareback served
our 20 them. 1t was a severe trial to the
men. Breaking open the biscuits and find
ing live worms in them, they would throw
the pieces in the trenches, although the
orders Were 90 keep the trenches cream.
A brigade officer Of the day, seeing some
Of these scraps along our front. called out
sharply 10 our men; Throw that hard
tack out of the trenches" Then, as the
men promptly gathered it up, he added
Don't you know that you've no business
to throw bareback in the trenches?" Out
from the injured soldier heart there came
the reasonable eXplanati ton: We've
thrown it out two or three times, sir, but
it crawIs back"

It now seems likely that the Kansas
Populists overstepped themselves in pass
ing their extraordinary railroad law the
other day. Under the constitution of
The state, an extra session of the legisla-
ture cannot be called except in a case of
emergency. Gov. Leedy ASSUMED that an
emergency existed when he called an extra
session to pass a railroad law. Neverthe-
less the law which was placed upon the
statute books does not become effective
for three months. Emergency" laws, the
lawyers say. become effective from the
time Of their ratification by the chief exec
utive. That the railroad law does not be-
come operative until so long a time after
It's passage, they say, is conclusive evil
dence that there was no present and urgent
demand for it; that it was not "emerg
ency' legislation. and therefore the legis-
lature was illegally called in extra session
to pass it,

An Atlanta newspaper says that y. r
Lewis, one of the Flanagan jurors, went
mad from remorsc," that he lost his mind
from brooding over the case. To what de-
gree are the Atlanta newspapers RESPONSE
be for The condition of Juror Lewis?
There appears 70 be no reason for doubt
ing chat Juror Lewis rendered verdict
IN accordance with the facts 10 the best
Of his abfity. That is All that is expected
OF any honest man in the jury box. But
have not the Atlanta newspapers work
ca the Flanagan case as a sensation for
an 1t is worth for months and months?
Have they not magnifed every possible
doubt in the case, whether in Flanagan
favor or against him, and whether it was
reasonable or unreasonable, and with
headlines and pictures featured" all Of
the abnormal, grewsome, nerve-racking in
eidents Of the crime, the trial and the muir
derers prison life? 1t is probable that Jul
ror Lewis was not a man of strong mind,
at best. Having been connected with the
case, he eagerly read all that was written
about it, and the horror stories and the
maze Of doubts woven around it were too
much for him.

1t seems that all is not serene between
England and France. The former mas
sent word to the latter that she must not
press her pretenGons at Shanghai. 1t is
probably good thing for the peace of Eu-

that affair that she has not time to pay
much attention to anything else. Except
for Dreyfus. and the bordereau and the

that certain concerns were licensed for the

interest charges. Vigorous action against
such concerns is recommended. Every

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Turkish government has given off,
cial notice to the American minister at
Constautinople that while American citi-
zens. be they Gentle oS Jew, may go to
the Holy Land as individual visitors they
will not be permitted to go in bodies for
the purpose of settling there. This is talk
en- to be directed against the Zionist
movement. The Cleveland Plain Dealer
Dem0 says: THE Zionist movement
met with little favor among the well-to-do
Jews in the United States, most of them
regarding it as the dream of impractical
enthusiasts. and now that the Turkish
government has spoken the idea may as
well be abandoned. The Zionists may go
10 Palestine as pilgrims to the home of
their ancestors. but the Turkish authori-
ties will order them to keep moving I'M
til they move out again"
The Baltimore Sun CDem) says: rs
the United States to take its place in the
ranks of nations which are armed 10 the
teeth and burdened by enormous naval aud
military establishments? The drift is in
that direction, as the effort TO increase our
navy and enlarge our army plainly indi-
Gates Shall We in the course of a few
years, be following in the lead of France
Germany and Russia and expanding mill
ions upon new field guns, magazine rifles
and other devices for the slaughter of the
enemies we may make as a world power?'
We are about to take the first step, if the
fmperialists' and expansionsts are as
strong as they claim to be. After that
first step is taken there will be no limita-
lions, and disarmament propositions will
receive little encouragement from the
forces that will seek to control the desti-
MES of the country"
There are two sides to the picture of ex-
pansion. The Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep)
thus touches upon the darker side: "While
the Chicago papers were singing the glo-
ries of Imperialism the wife of a volunteer
soldier serving in Cuba went without food
on Christmas day until she ended the
feat with a bottle of chloroform. There
have been short-sighted assertions that
the rich prizes of expansion do not get in
10 the hands of the men who do the
lighting or their families either"

England Preparing for Coming Trouble
Possible Ultimatum Expected.
London, Oct. 4.-There are no new
developments in the Transvaal situa-
ton. Arrangements for the dispatch
of war stores and men continue. A
quantity of balloon material has been
sent to South Africa, the war Office
considering that military ballooning
will prove Of the greatest value in the
kind Of warfare expected in South
Africa. The chartering of transports
is still going on. Five vessels of the
Cunard line are now engaged.
Montague White, consul general for
the South African Republic in Lon
don, told the Associated Press yester-
day morning that he telegraphed Pres
ident Kruger Monday, urging him to
make a personal appeal to Lord Sails
bury, dwelling upon the iniquity of the
war and proposing a scheme as a
basis of further negotiations. He said
he was momentarily expecting to hear
that the Transvaal government was
sending an ultimatum to Great Britain,
declaring the dispatch of troops a
.casus belli, in which event he would
be compelled to close his offices.
News from South Africa is still full
of movements of troops and prepare
lions for fighting. A telegram from
Paris announces that M. Arnaud, pres
ident of the International Arbitration
and Peace League, has sent an appeal
to Lord Salisbury entreating him to
choose a power to act with a power
chosen by the Transvaal with the OBJ
ject of averting war.
