The Man on Horseback.

1t has often been remarked of late
years that the horse is passing; that the
bicycle and automobile are to take his
place. 1t is not so. The horse is to be
a greater necessity than ever, but he
will not serve so much as drudge
hereafter The horse is to take again,
the place he once occupied, the place
where the artist has loved to paint
him-the place where the poet has loved
to sing about him. The horse is to be
warrior. In the future, war is to be
his chief occupation.
1t is exceedingly interesting to follow
the horse through history and note his
ups and downs as helper in war.
Before the time of Alexander the
Great, no general would think of going
to war without large force of cavalry.
1t was the principal element of every
successful army, Alexander took the
Macedonian phalanx which his father,
Phillip, had invented and trained,
crossed the Hellespont, and with an
army of infantry Insignificant in num-
bers conquered all that country now
known as Turkey in Asia and Persia.
He also crossed the isthmus of Suez and
conquered Egypt, He thought he had
conquered the world. He met armies
twenty times as large as his own and
defeated them easily. Yet he had not a
single cavalry man in his army. In
fantry and cavalry alike melted away
before the Macedonian phalanX 1t
was body of pike-men, in sixteen
serried ranks, the pixies being so long
that those of the rear rank extended
beyond the men in the front rank.
The men were selected, and were men
of exceeding physical strength, as they
had to be to use effectively such heavy
weapons. They were also drilled to
perfection and could instantly face
about, reverse their pixies, or present a
bristling front in every direction to
resist cavalry. Wherever they went
they had a walk over.
Those were the days of hand to hand
fighting, and it is not hard to under
stand how irresistible the phalanN
would be in that sort of war,
During the life of Epaminondas, OF
Thebes the iavelin came into use as q
weapon of war. A few centuries later
phalanXes of pike-men were of little
use. The Roman ranks of javeliu
throwers were carrying everyt hing be
fore them. Javelins-short Stubby two
edged swords, thrown with the skill got
by practice, in daily drill, thrown by s
powerful man. straight at the mark, as
an Indian launches a tomahawk. would
strike down the ranks of pike-men while
they were too far away To strike back
The javelin conquered the world, MOI
could cavalry withstand n charge OF
.aveiins, as Julius Caesar demonstrated
Mt Pharsalus. But the javelin had lis
day, and somewhat later the Roman
general Crassus saw his army of 1O,Got
javelin throwers totally destroyed by
the Parthian horSemen armed with
bows and arrows, for the man with the
bow could send an arrow much farther
than a javelin could be thrown. There

The report, yesterday, of a battle be-
tween Gen. Roberts troops and the
Beers in his front was peculiar. 1t
seems that the British troops drove the
Beers from one Kopje, but failed to dis
lodge them from any other position.
In the night the Beers disappeared.
The peculiar thing about Lord Roberts
report is that 102 Beers were killed, 20
prisoners, no wounded, and his further
statement that there had been b0yonet
charge 1t is well known to soldiers
who have seen war that this "bayonet
charge" talk is a myth. There is no
such thing as bayonet charge in mod
ern war There are soldiers inhuman
enough to bayonet grounded men when
they occupy field from which their
enemies have been driven-102 killed,
none wounded 1t reminds one of the
Spaniards in Cuba. And then with all
that statement that the Beers had
misused the flag of truce, that old lie
so often refuted by British soldiers
themselves 1t looks bad

In arriving at the result of its deliber-
ations, the committees have endeavored
to consider, as far as possible, not only
the ability, but the willingness of the
candidates to serve in their respective
positions. OF course, it is impossible to
put all of the good men in each ward
upon the ticket.
The manner in which the result was
arrived at may be of interest to the pub
lie. When the joint conference COM
mittee met, the five republicans pro-
posed three names of republicans for
mayor. The democratic members of
the conference committee likewise pro-
posed three democrats. The matter was
then discussed and for one reason and
another, names were crossed off until
there was one left on each side; S. NJ
Quaw for the republicans and John
Kiefer for the democrats. Lots were
then cast to determine who should be
the candidate, it being agreed that in
case he should decline, the other name
proposed should stand as substitute.
Upon the casting of lots, Mr.. Quaw
was declared the nominee for mayor.
Il was then agreed that the present
city officers, including the treasurer,
clerk and the assessors should continue
to represent the offices which they now
hold.
In selection of the candidates for the
ward offices. the chairman of each city
committee was instructed to secure
from the chairman of his ward commit
tees a list of names to be proposed.
These names were considered by the
committee as whole, and the result of
their deliberations in that respect is
given above.
There is no disposition on the part of
the committees, as seems to have been
intimated on the street, to compel the
wards to accept any particular NOM
lnee. All of these nominations must
necessarily be made by nomination
papers, and if the people of the ward.
or of any ward, are not satisfied with
the nominations, as made, there is moth
ing to prevent them from running
other candidates for the same offices.
After the committee had agreed, as
stated above, the entire city committees
of both parties were called together and
the action of the conference committee
