The Victor episode strIklngly Illus
tratcs the difference between the Bry-
ante and the Republican party-for
we would not insult the thousand OF
honest and loyal Democrats by calling
the Victor mob by their party name.
Mr.. Bryan has spoken In many towns
ms intensely attached 10 Republican
doctrines as Victor is to his principles,
but nowhere has any Republican ever
offered him personal violence. as his
Colorado supporters offered II TO Theo-
dore Roosevelt. That is because the
Republican party stands for law and
order. always and everywhere. while
the Bryan party stands for violence
and mob rule.
Every decent citizen OF Colorado OF
course feels that his state has been
humillated by the Hrynnite lawless-
ness at Victor We have no disposi-
tion TO add to Colorado's humiliation
by hard words. In fact, we are re-
strained from so doing by two rea-
sons. We have our hoodlums here In
Chicago-nOt ignorant laborers, but
prominent citizens. with headquarters
at the Union League Club-who, less
than two years ago consplrcd to mob
the governor OF Illinois In the presence
of the president of the United States.
That is one reason which compels us
to he charitable toward Colorado.
The second reason is that the citi-
Zens of Colorado are TO have an oppor-
tunity soon to repudiate Bryanite law
lessness. Every law.abiding voter of
that state knows how lie can. on No

til Colorado refuses to administer such

ready to hold her responsible for the

OF the movement against free speech
which has held too much sway In some
parts OF Colorado In every state cam

met with the encouragement and mp

most bitterly dcnouncing such infringe

Even when not so completely sue
cessflll as the raid which turned Grant
back from his attack on vicksburg
from the north in 1862, vigorous dash
on the commute atoms of an army
puts it at great disadvantage in many
ways and at least forces its command
er to act with caution when only by
boldness can he hope to succeed. When
Sherman was slowly pushing the Con
federates backward toward Atlanta,
he left almost as many troops behind
to guard his communications as he had
on the fighting line. The Confederate
cavalry leaders often wanted to try
their hands at breaking up Shermans
line, but for some reason 1t was not
carried out Sherman also sent out
raiders to the heart of Georgia to de
stroy Confederate supply stores and
factories, cut railroads and blow up
bridges, but, although this work was
pushed with energy, it did not effect
the immediate result. The south had
too many railroads feeding its chief
points to make it possible to cripple
the army by simply destroying one or
two, and raiders seldom had time al
lowed them to make a clean sweep of
all the roads.

Living withont NourIuhment.

There seems to be no philosophical
necessity for food. We can conceive of
organized beings living without nour-
ishment and deriving all the energy
they need for the performance of their
life functions from the ambient me-
dunn. In crystal we have the clear
evidence of the existence of a formative
life principle, and though we cannot
understand the life of crystal, it is
none the less a living being. There
may be, besides crystals, other such in
dividualized, material systems of be-
ings, perhaps of gaseous constitution
or composed of substance still more
tenuous. In view of this possibility
nay, probability cannot apodeictic-
ally deny the existence of organized
beings on a planet merely because the
conditions on the same are unsuitable
for the existence of life as we con-
ceive it. We cannot even with positive
assurance assert that some of them
might not be present here, in this our
world, in the very midst of us, for their
constitution and life manifestion may
be such that we are unable to perceive
them. -Nikola Tesla in Century Maya

Stoneman rode more than half way

he rushed ahead and destroyed the

all the roads.
When Grant attempted to march
on Viczsburg from the north, he de-
pended upon one railway line for sup
plies-that is, three railroads forming
for his purposes one line of transporta-
ton from his main base to the front.
The Mississippi Central, branching off
from the Mobile and Ohio at Jackson.
Tenn. ran in the direction of his march
and carried supplies to his depot at
Holly Springs, Miss. This road was
intersected by the Memphis and
Charleston north of Holly Springs and
was fed from the extreme north by the
Mobile and Ohio, terminating at Co
lumbus, Ky.
General Forrest, the Confederate
king of west Tennessee, set out on a
ride to break the Mobile and Ohio and
did his work thoroughly at points
where he struck the road, but Grant
had many fleet squadrons under able
leaders, and Forrest was often com
PEELED to fight when he wished to be
blowing up culverts and burning
bridges. He created panic in Grants
rear, but all the Federal cavalry was
on his track, and alone he could not
have spoiled the march to Vicksburg.
Van Dorm timed his raid upon Holly
Springs so as to strike Just when the
supplies would run low on account of
Forests work In Tennessee for even
when a raider failed to cut the road his
mere presence on the line held up sup
plies for time. Grant was at oxford,
Miss, 80 miles south of Holly Springs,
on the way to Vicksburg, and the Con-
federateS were at Grenada, 80 miles
farther south. Federal scouts brought
word to headquarters that Van Dorm
had started north across the Yalla-
busha, and Grant sent force to inter
cept him, but the raiders reached the
Federal lines almost as soon as the
scouts. They dashed into Holly Springs
at daylight, capturing its garrison of
1900 men and destroyed all the NUM-
lions of war, food and forage; also
burned up many trains. Van Dorm es-
timated the value of the property de-

the damage In another way. He said
that he was cut off from communion
tons for the north for week, and it
was more than two weeks before ra-
tons or forage could be issued regular
~. Therefore he decided to abandon
his campaign to the Interior, with Co
Iumbus as the base, and depend upon
the Mississippi water line for supplies.
He took his army back to Memphis.
Van Dorm made several attempts to cut
the road north of Holly Springs but
was repulsed at all points. His one
success was due to the CELEBRITY of his
march and the suddenness of the dash.
1t was a sweeping blow that General
Hooker planned in the Chancellors-
vile campaign against Lees communi-
cations with Richmond and Lynch
burg. In sending out the cavalry UNI
der Stoneman to get between Lee on
the Rappahannock and his base, he ex-
pected to defeat Lee In battle The
raid was to complete the work of de
stroying Lee. His orders to Stoneman
stated that the object would be the
isolation Of the enemy from his sup

James, he sent one division Of Sheri-
dams cavalry under James II. Wilson
to raid the main lines of supply from
the south through Danville. Wilson
dashed into the enemy's territory over
100 miles and destroyed 80 miles Of
track on the Richmond and Danville
road. The raid wound up as usual, in
desperate struggle to get out of the
trap, for all the enemy's cavalry united
to head off the daring riders. Wilson
escaped. and the enemy had broken
line to repair After that the railroad
cutting was done slowly and on a large
scale by combined movements of infan-
try and cavalry. II may be said that
the campaign against Petersburg and
Richmond turned on the destruction of
Lees means of supply The besieging
forces would capture and fortify a
road so as to prevent the enemy from
recovering it.
Wilson afterward made an extensive
raid in Alabama and Georgia to cap
ture and break up isolated garrisons Of
Confederates and destroy means of
supplying and reinforcing the troops

cessful. but came too late to materially
affect the result of the war. 1t showed
