Graham's first trouble was to dispose of
the mass of red clay which ST had hauled
out, and was then lying in the hole at the
mouth of the tunnel. The surface OF the
interior of the stockade was of yellow sand,
with very white sand where the excavation
had been made at the edge Of the creek on
the east side, and where the mouth of the
tunnel was located. The red clay lying
lower down was an infalIble indication Of
deep digging, and the sight of this was
what Graham was anxious to avoid. Inc
only red clay TO be seen in the camp was
that brought up when the wells were dug,
some time before, and therefore the pres
encc of any fresh clay would be very sig
nifcant to the rebels. He was sorely per-
picked what to do. until he noticed, on his
way, the crlmbling hoyei of man who
was almost in the stupor of death. Graham
read the history of the hovel and its in
mates at glance. 1t had been built by
three or four comrades, probably of the
same regiment, and also probably among
those captured at the beginning of active
operations in May. Being new prisoners,
they had found all the better part OF the
ground occupied, and all the material for
erecting shelters appropriated. They had
found place to lie down toward the bottom
of the slope, and in default of anything else
had built up a wall Of sun-dried bricks,
shaped by hand from the red clay which
other boys had dug up from we'll. Upon
this wall they stretched their blanket for a
roof. One after another of them had sick.

went to the polls than four years before, and
Cleveland got a slightly greater per centage
of them, though he was defeated. The
difference between his popular vote and that
of Harrison's was only g of 1 per cent
that is, votes in every 1000.
In 1892 curious phenomenon occurred.
There were nearly 100000 more votes
polled than four years before, but neither
Harrison nor Cleveland got so large pro-
portion. But Harrison's shrank the worse.
While Cleveland's proportion of he whole
fell from 1853 per cent to 45. .e6 per cent. a
decrease Of 2.67 per cent, or over 26 votes in
every 1000; Harrisons fell from 47.S3 tc
1928 per cent, decline of 40 per cent, OF
40 votes in every 1, 900. In 1888, in round
numbers, out of every 1000 voters, 4Se
voted for Cleveland. and ATS voted for
Harrison. In 1892 only 46O voted fol-
Cleveland, and only 43O for Harrison
while % voted for Bidwell, the Prohibition
candidate, and 85 for Weaver, the Populist,
In 1896, 511 voters out of every 1,OOC
voted for Mckinley, and 46S for Bryan
That is, Mckinley had majority of 43 in
every 1000 votes. 1t will therefore require
a general change of % votes in every 600
or not quite PA in every 100, to overcome
that majority.

THE CoMMANDER.IN-CHIE IN THE
SOUTH.

Commander-in-Chief Shaw is making a
tour Of the Southern Departments and
awakening great interest and enthusiasm
wherever he goes. His personality ard his
words produce the best impression on all.
The comrades wherever he goes are reused
to greater pride and interest in the Order,
and the people of the South seem much
pleased with the frank, manly soldierlv
utterances Of the Commander-in-Chief,
which always breathe the highest patriot
ism and fraternity, while abating no jot of
belief in the sacredness of the war for the
Union
his first visit was to Norfolk, Va, where
he was the guest of Worden Post, and was
welcomed by large gathering, with De.

THE deal for the Danish West Indies
seems to be still on, in spite of the denials.
The probability is that we shall eventr1-
ally purchase the islands for 50 900, 600,
We should have them to increase our con.
troll over the Gulf of Mexico. But the ques.
ton is whether We should buy them out
right, or let them struggle to get in,
Puerto Rico will soon give the West Indians
such an object lesson as to the advantages
OF annexation to the United States as to
make all the other islands clamorous to
get under the Flag. The main trouble a,
present is that if we refuse to buy the islands
Germany will think that she has a right tc
get them, and that will raise a question
under the Monroe Doctrine. We can no,
let her have them, and yet il would he
awkward if we refuse to take them our
selves.

THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT "FOL-
Low THE FLAG"

The issues are rapidly shaping them
selves, and men are taking their positions
with regard to them. A significant vote was
taken in the Senate last Friday, on the fol-
lowing proposition:
THAT the Constitution was. by force Of
treaty concluded between the United States
and the Kingdom of Spain, at the city of
Paris, France, April II, 1899, extended over
the island of Puerto Rico and its inhabi.
tantS."
The vote on this was regarded as a test,
and it was defeated by SO nays to 1t yeas.
All the Republican Senators and one Demo-
crat-Lindsay. OF fKentucky-voteda against
| it. Senator Hoar was paired, or he would
probably have voted with the Democrats for
it. This determination gives us what The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE has always contend
ed for, a free hand in the management the
islands. We are not obliged to give them
presentment by grand jury, trial by
petty jury, habeas corpus, representation
in Congress, equal suffrage, etc., etc., until
they are fit and ready for those attri-
butes of complete citizenship. Wecan deal
with each island separately as it progresses,
without being hampered by any declara-
tions or hard and fast rules. We can treat
them precisely as the greatest colonizing
power that the world has ever seen-Great
Britain-has treated her possessions. To
Canada. Australia, and New Zealand she
has given the most absolute measure of
free government. They do not want to be
any freer than they are, and are as Jealous
supporters of her power and dignity as any
Englishman can be, and quite as ready
to fight for her. Yet they are denied any
representation in her Parliament. At the
other extreme. she has the great Empire Of
Hindustan, with its 100000 millions of peo-
pie, which is governed absolutely by Sec
rotary in the Cabinet Hindustan has not
even local municipal councils, nor repre-
sentation in the Judiciary, and yet the
condition of the people is so incomparably
superior to what it was before England
took possession, and to what it would be if
she let go, that there is no serious thought
among the teeming millions of any change,
and if she chose to she could put millions
of the men into ranks to fight for her.
We must do the same, and adapt the
Government everywhere to the peculiar con-
ditions and ideas of the people. Probably
some of them will become capable of self.
government in the course Of time, and
some of them never will be.

THE Beers have now an actual. movable
force Of about 10000 electives, or about
the same number that are under the imme.
diate command OF Lord Roberts, moving
against them. Therefore, it is now ques-
tion OF pure generalship and strategy.
Ii they try to cover too many places with
this force Roberts will divide them and
whip them in detail. If they, however,
have any military genius in command
they may force Roberts to scatter, as he
moves over the wide stretch of country,
