nomhardm,n,, Not so DeadIy.

According to Le Journal des Debats of Paris. a bombardment is not such a terrible thing after all. The editor of Le Journal has collected some official statistics Co prove this.
 In iS7O.i the bombardment of Bel fort lasted 1S days. during which s9.- 45s projectiles fell within the city, and there were only 60 victims killed or fatally wounded At Strasburg. during the siege of 3S days. the Germans hIed upon the city. mostly at close range ls3, 722 shells. which accounted for 800 victims Finally. at Paris, the bom- hardment did not last longer than 2S days. and only 10000 siege shells were thrown, killing or wounding iO7 per sons.
 And the French editor adds, The few dozens of cannon shots fired on tho Cuban coast or at Porto Rico have as- suredly made more noise than harm.

EnsI,.h War once and Red Tape.


 "The question of the cost of amilitia- mans funeral exceeding e2" is report ed to the war office. "If a child is ab- sent from school for two days, a medic al certificate has to be sent Co the war office. " Until a few weeks ago horse could not even be clipped without au- thority of the quartermaster general, and the war office sanction has to be obtained before Q horse can be cast. !" Such are some of the details Co which the war office does attend. Let us see what Is the reward of their energy. Hero is an interesting and instructive commentary supplied by General Hutch iusOn:
 Suppose, he is asked. -a horse in' jured itself and had Co be killed. what was your prOcedure:"
 Answer. A board was assembled
 Question. While the horse was still alive?
 Answer Ut was supposed Co be, but never did that. I shot tho animal and then assembled the board.
 The incident is comic. but typical Happily we have officers not few who are prepared "to shoot the horse and then assemble the board. II there were not such officers. the war office would strangle the army in a twelvemonth. - National Review.

The last of these before her final taking oS occurred in Copenhagen ten months ago It was sudden aud violent The Queeu's physician was called and came at once, but, according Co the story as it Is now told. at first declared that he could do nothing.
 "Am really dying. then:" asked the queen, looking up from the sofa upon which she had been placed.
 "I fear your majesty must expect the worst. " replied the medical man.
 But, doctor. don't want Co die. " the patient protested.
 "Only youth. was the answer, "could resist the malady. and cannot make your majesty young again"
 A smile passed over the features ot the suffering woman. "No. doctor. " she said. "I don't want Co be young again. All desire is that for little while may continue Co grow old. ."

Korean Kings American Advi.sf.

Korean Kings American Adviser.
 Mfr. GreathouSe. the American advis- ar of the king of Korea, whose dismissal has been just announced. Is a remark able man with an adventurous career. By biIth he is Q Kentuckian, by profes- sion a lawyer, by inclination a genial jack of all trades with Q genius for story telling. He has been attorney general. politician. newspaper editor and consul general in turn.
 The oriental manner of life exactly suited his temperament. He owed his position in Korea to gifts as teller of stories The king appointed him first minister of postal affairs and later to a position in the foreign office. His infiu. ence was great, but was not undisputed.
 In February last he frustrated a plot against the kings life. The oonspiratorS who belonged to the reactiohary party, adopted western methods so far as to emulate the example of Guy Hawkes. Twelve hundred pounds of powder were stored under the council chamber and connected by electric wire, Mir. Great house did not interfere with the plans of the eonspirators until the last mo- ment. when he captured several of them red handed.
 Russian influence has always been opposed to him. and 1t isat the instance of the Russian mihister that he IS now reported Co have been dismissed.-Lon- don News

Overstreet Says the Struggle Will be Tough
But Republicans Will Win.
lBv the Associated Press.

indianapolis, June 27.-Congressman
Overstreet, of this district, left for Chi
cago today to arrange with Chairman
Babcock. of the Republican Congressional
Campaign committee, to take charge OF
headquarters in Chicago in ten days. On
the Congressional campaign he said:
lowing to the iniquitous election laws
of Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina,
we meet the difficulty of having the dis
tricts now held by Republicans in those
three States gravely endangered In
Kentucky we now hold but two districts,
one of which we carried by only ten
votes. We are clearly entitled to at least
four districts in Kentucky and an honest
count would give them to us. The election
law of Virginia is as obnoxious as that
of Kentucky and If it be operated this
year as it was in 1898 our success in
those districts which are clearly Republi
can, will be in doubt.
I'VE do not pretend that the Lower
House can be carried without a struggle.
The contest will be a hard one but We
feel equal to it."

further charge upon President Mckinley
responsibility for the army canteen, with
all its dire brood of disease, immortality,
sin and death, in this country, in China.
in Porto Rico and the Philippines; and
we insist that by his attitude concerning
the canteen, and his apparent contempt
for the vast number of petitions and pc
ttioners protesting against it, he has
outraged and insulted the moral senti
ment of this country in such a manner,
and to such a degree, as calls for it's
righteous uprising and his indignant re-
buke.
1--WE challenge denial of the fact that
our Executive as COMMANDMENT Chief of
the military forces of the United States,
at any time prior to or since March,
1899 could have closed every army saloon,
called canteen, by executive order as
President Hayes did before him, and
should have closed them for the same
reasons which actuated President Hayes;
we assert that the act of Congress passed

liquors Sin any post exchange or can
teen" by any officer or private soldier"
by ANY other person." on any premi-
ses used for military purposes by the
United States was and is as explicit an
act of prohibition as the English Ian
guage can frame; we declare our solemn
belief that the Attorney General of the
United States in his Interpretation of that
law, and the Secretary of War in his
acceptanees of that Interpretation and his
refusal to enforce the law, were and are
guilty of REASONABLE notification thereof,
and that President Mckinley through his
nant Of nj
probation and refusal on the part of the
officials appointed by and responsible to
him, shares responsibility in their guilt;
and we record our conviction that a new
and serious peril confronts our country.
Peril confronts our country, in the fact
that it's President at the behest of the
beer power dare and does abrogate a law
of Congress.
The platform scores the Administra-
ton for permitting the establishment of
the liquor traffic in our new possession
and for repeal of the prohibitory laws in
Alaska.
The platform was received with widest
enthusiasm. Every sentence in condem-
nation of President Mckinley was greet
ed with shouts of approval and cries of
chit him again the delegates standing on
their chairs and yelling themselves
hoarse.
The platform and an additional reso-
