DEAR UNCLE was in party that
started from here (Jagua) a few days
ago to look for bunch of insurgents
that we're reported to be about three
q days march from here. We left Ja-
qua at about three O'Clock in the eve
ming. marched all night and the next
two days, and on the third day we got
to Carmen, that was the name of the
town where the insurgents were re-
ported to be eDtrenched. We got
there to find that another squad of
soldiers had preceded us. This squad
numbered about fifty men while there
were only twenty seven men in our
bunch. We stayed all night there and
as there were no signs of the insurg-
ents having been there, we next morn
ing started for home. The squad of
fifty started one way and our little
band of twenty-seven another way.
We had gotten about mile from the
outskirts of the town and were going
into a deep cut between two mountains
when We were fired upon. They fired
three or four volleys at US just to At
tract our attention to the top of the
hill while their Bolomen got in their
deadly work. We started to form q
skirmish line SO that We could get q
good range of the hill. when we found
we we're surrounded by several hun
dred Bolomen and then the fun began.
We just turned our backs tc gether and
the way we moved the ''niggers"
down was Q sin. I came very near
getting mustered out there but I guess
the Lord was with me. We had one
man killed and six wounded, one of
the wounded may die as he had his
head split open.
The Bolomen are the most treacher-
GUS human beings living. They will
not fight on the square, but they way
lay and bushwaack, and are always
dangerous.
Well, Uncle Ben, We are expecting
to get to come home in the near future
Our colonel tells US that We will not
have to remain here q great white
longer, and when the order comes for
US to arrange for our homeward r0y-
age, you cs.n not imagine the JOY that
erder will bring to US boys ten thcus-
and miles from home, ana when get

HEARD IN IHEcORRIDOR.

a party Of travelling men were sit
ting in the lobby of a hotel last even
ing and the conversation drifted upon
the subject Of insane asylums.
One of the gentlemen stated that he
visited one of tie asylums of our state
on tour of inspection and was ac-
costed by a gentleman who wanted to
know if he desired to go through the
buildings. II said 1 did, said the
party. 81 thought by the way the fell
low acted he must be the superinten-
dent. He was fine specimen of man
hood, and by his intelligent looks,
must be a man of no mean ability.
After showing me through the different
wards We strolled out on the grounds,
when he began to describe the i'm
provements that I'VE are going to
make in the near future The next
day again visited the asylum and
inquired for my friend OF the day be-
fore. Well, sir, l was dumbfounded
to find my ma in irons and the Wild
est looking individual it was ever my

THAT is nothing in comparison
with an experience of miue," spoke up
another gentleman in the party. II
was visiting a friend in Dakota, a
doctor, and he took me to see the
asylum. We were in one of the ward
rooms where | noticed a fellow walk
ing up and down the floor and every
few feet he would go through a side
step movement. My friend had step
ped Off to another part of the room,
leaving me unguarded, when ali at
once the man executed one of his side
steps, squared off and with clinched
fist attempted to lay me out with an
upper cut, that, had l not been quick
enough to dodge, would have started
me on the route to the happy hunting
grounds. l started for the exit with
speed that would have done credit TO

What an Editor Does.

Editors are said to be cynical. Is il
any wonder? What other professions
meet with such constant and universal
ingratitude? Through the life of what
other man does this black sin so per-
sistently drag its sli0y form? No
other avocation is 50 full of unselfish-
ness, helps so many people, builds so
many fortunes, makes so many repu.
tatlons. No other is given to express
ions Of kindness and sympathy and
benevolence. The editor has q word
of encouragement for every work si
enterprise and philanthropy, and
words OF approval for every deserving
public act, sends sunshine and happi-
ness into thousands of lives. That
newspaper ia never printed which has
not something in it to help some one.
Scientists, scholars, divines, politi-
clans, tradesmen. statesmen, by the
million, owe their fame and prosperity
to the editor. Nor does he help only
those whom the world calls great. he
is friend to the friendless and q con-
slant benefActor to all classes. A ID
his kindness stops with the grave.
His is the hssd which pays the las,
tribute of affection, often to an enemy.
And yet how rarely is he thanked.
How few manifest any appreciation OF
what he does for -themP His beoevo-
lence is accepted as . matter Of course.
bow many repay him with the basest
ingratitudes Is it any wonder that be
is full of cynieism and even of bitter
ness when he thus continually eucOun-
ters the GOODNESS, the mesnness, the
emptiness of human nature?-

CLEVELAND ON THE DEMOCRACY.
Says the "Need is a Return to First Prin.
ciples."

Atlanta, Ca, Dec 1.-THE Journal
this afternoon prints an interview
with ex-President Cleveland at his
home
''In my opinion" said Mr.. Cleve-
land, ''the great need of the Demo-
cratic party is a return to first prin-
ciples. The Democratic party has not
been fatally disorganized, but it sadly
needs reha bilitation on purely Demo-
cratic lines.
What is the matter with the party?
1t has, in my humble judgment, simply
wandered off after strange gods. a
large mass of Democratic voters saw
this before the last election. They re-
mained quiet, but when the time came
to vote they said: This is not De-
mocracy,' and refused to support it.
"As l see it, said Mr.. Cleveland,
lit is the duty of Democrats every.
where to aid in the rehabilitation of
the party. There are some signs of
an insistence upon the necessity OF a
return to Democratic doctrines in the
South, but they are not 80 general as
l would like to see."
"What of the future?" was asked.
"With a sincere return to its old
time doctrines, the old-time victories
of the Democratic party will certainly
be won.''

The legislative Committee Here.

Senator Zeveley, Representatives
Sickles and Huck and clerk Gray, the
Legislative Committee to examine the
State educational Institutions were
here last Saturday to look after the
State Normal school. They visited
the Normal. went through the building,
over the grounds and then met with
the President of the Normal and the
members of the Board of Regents
who were in the city. The books were
examined and everything was found in
satisfactory shape.
The gentlemen representing the State
in this particular branch are men who
understand their business and they are
gentlemen too OF ability. They made
many friends while here who will re-
member them should they return to
the Cape again.

BRYAN on his Defeat,

In an article entitled "The election
Of $780," in the December No th
American Review, Mr.. Bryan attempts
to give reasons for his defeat. One is
the alleged use OF money. AS the pop
1lar plurality is over 500. 900, the
largest on record, the so-calAed 'col-
onizdtion and purchase Of votes
mast have been conducted on a colos-
sal scale. A majority of l31 electoral
votes would look like foolish prodig-
aliiy in buying. Shifting the point OF
view, Mr. Bryan remarks that 1.-THE
fear OF change is merely political
expression of the conservatism which,
to a greater or less extent, exists in
every person." 1t Is certainly true
that majority of the American peo-
pie prefer existing prosperity to an
uncertain chase after something bet
ter. Common sense would be better
name than conservatism for this feel
ing. Every time practical man ran
aginst the portentous phrase, ''Void
if Bryan is elected" he realized the
attitude that had been taken by men of
the coolest business Judgment, and
that even q grain of doubt can disturb
the great currents of national trade.
Mr.. Bryan denies that the Repub-
ican party has had anything to do
with prosperous conditions. But from
the day of the election there was a
great upward bound in the markets.
The sweeping nature of the defeat was
reflected in an unexpected degree of
general activity, and the wave is still
mounting and spreading. The boom
instantly followed great Republican
victory, and it is vain to dispute its
cause. 1t was not due to good crops
or the increased production of gold,
but to the assurance of continued Re-
publican control of all departments of
the government, and most emphatic
reassertion of the principle that an
American dollar must be the equiva-
lent of 100 cent. everywhere through
out the world. Mr.. Bryan insists that
the election of 1900 was not decisive on
the money question. A popular plur-
atty of 600. 900 in 1896 and 500. 900 in
1900 will convince nearly everybody
else that the United States will never
90 into the business of money debase-

Cape Girardeau, Mo.
DEAR Benz have been intending
to write you el er since my return from

enclose check for s1.OO for renewal of
subscription TO weekly DEMOCRAT for
next year. Permit me to congratulate
you upon the Improvement in the pa
per which | have noticed for some
months back.
Perhaps it may please you to know
that the DEMOCRAT followed me all
ove- Europe. 1t reached me in Lon
don directly after l arrived taeie last
April, and l had it in Paris all sum
mer. Later when | left Paris to visit
the interior of the continent, it kept
me company over good part of me
long journey through Belgium, Ger
many and Switzerland. The mail Tor
warding system in Europe is very ex-
cellent indeed. 1 had the paper in
BRUSSELS, Cologne and Luzerne Il
was toward the middle of September
that one of the August issues reached
me at Cologne just as l was making
ready to embark on the Rhine for
MaiDz and Frankfort. 1 hardly needed
this last suggestion to make my satls-
faction complete, as the day was glor-
ious and 1 was looking forward to
happy trip on the classic river, but l
shall never forget the thrill Of homo
feeling that the receipt Of the Demo-
Graf at this time gave me. I read it
as the boat Piled up between the cast
le-crowned, vine-sided hills of the ma
jestic, romantic river. just above
Coblentz and not far from the legepd-
famed Lorelei (opposite st. Goarl We
came upon an American yacht which
drew up alongside, its inmates begin
ming conversation with US. They were
q party from Adolphns Busch's castle
On the Rhine, which We shortly after
ward passed.
" hde . lloS you bo"C ehCtCs su@
American paper?" asked one of the,
young fellows of the acht.
| said Yes"
Throw it down here," he demanded
Immediately. Let's see it. We are
hungry for news"
l dropped the paper over the rail.
He caught it and scanned it quickly
aad then gave out = kind Of happy
yelp.
"What?" he exclaimed, Missouri?
Are you from Missouri"
"Sure," I said.
"Shake, old man, shase!' he cried
with glee and clambersd far enough
up the side of our boat ~ grab ruY
hand and give it hearty twist.
just relate this to show that the
DEMOCRAT circulation sometimes
reaches pretty far and that her own
