Gen. Butler is now under terri
BILE arraignment for loss of life,
especially among the Irish troops.
The activity of the Beers is
amazing the British troops. They
will be still more amazed before
long.
The reason things go in at one
ear and out at the other is thai
there is nothing between to stoI
them.
1t is said that Aguinaldo is in
hiding in Manila, Gen, Otis knows
this, but has taken no steps as yet
to ferret him out
When man calls you a hard
name, tell him it is a personal re-
Election he sees. 1t will make him
do more thinking than telling him
he is liar.
Emily Coghlan, the last but one
of family of actors, is dead. She
died last Sunday, aged 36 years.
Her sister Rose is the surviving
actor of the family.
A majority of the city council
elected by the people vote for a
measure, then one man, the mayor
of the city, casts one vote (veto)
against it, and his one vote counts
for more than the majority. Ameri-
cans hate a king and believe in a
majority governing, so they do.
The people elect Legislators to
make laws for them, and when a
majority make law for them one
man, the governor, casts one vote
| (veto) against the law and kills it
deader than protective tariff as d
political issue. You bet the free
people of this country have no use
for dad gasted king, so they
haven't.
The people elect congressman to
make laws for them, and a ma
iority of all the congressman vote
for a law for tbs people who elected
them, then one man, the king--nol
mo- only q president--casts one
vote (veto) against it and kills 1t
deader than the conscience OF Mark
Hanna. But no dogored king shall
ever rule Americans, you bet your
life !
The British war office has pur-
chased some small steel shields to
cover the vital parts about the
heart. 1t is SAID they weigh about
seven pounds and turn bullets at
700 yards. 1t seems curious that
on the very threshold of the 10th
century that we again resort to
armor. The principle, however, is
an excellent one, and a helmet with
a visor and heart guard would be
a great projections in the present
conditions of warfare.
The colored people of Omaha
have petitioned the city council to
get possession of the armorclad car
used by President Lincoln during
the war time, and to restore it to
such a condition as to prevent
further deterioration and make it
available as u relic. The car is
owned by the Union Pacific rail
road and is kept in the yards at
Omaha. 1t was built at Alex.
andria, Va, in 1864, says the Rail-
road Review, and was made bullet
proof by means of boiler plates
placed on the sides of the car.
Not very long time ago the
king easily made the working peo-
pie believe that he was their best
friend, and, to keep his crown on
his head and his head on his shout
ders, millions of them gave up
their own heads. The corporations
are now playing the game of the
king over again, and when we shall
see the result in November we will
be able to reach a conclusion as to
whether fools are a part of the
natural and permanent order Of
things in this world or whether
they will eventually evolve to
point of knowing kings by their
nature instead of by their name.
| have noticed that great many
women in this country wash the
dirty clothing and do the scrub
bing of other women, and / wonder
if they do SO because they like that
kind of work or if it is because
they have to do so to obtain the
means of life. | don't believe that
God ever made a woman who OF
her own choice would chase dirty
shirt up and down a washboard to
earn living. also notice that
rich people don't like to do dirty
work, which leads me to conclude
that the rich in this world are di-
