UNENvIABLE DISTINCTION.
Disgraceful and DepIorable Death
of the Worst Defeated General
of Modern Times.

Gen. Oreste Baratieri, who died in
the Austrian Tyrol recently, at the age
of 60 years, achieved five years ago last
spring the distinction of being the
worst defeated general of modern
times, reports the New York Mail and
Express. He was the commander in
chief of the Inflated Italian Abyssin-
ian expedition. With an army of about
1900 men under him at the beginning
Of the fighting Baratieri was utterly
routed, and the greater part of his
force killed or captured, by the brave
and mobile Shoans, who were fighting
for their independence. He had the
misfortune to escape to the coast him
self, and reached there under the i'm
putation of having abandoned his gen.
erals, Albertone and Dabormida, in a
cowardly manner. A military tri-
bunal of six generals acquitted him of
criminal intention or penal RESPONSE
biIity, but they did not attempt to clear
him of the charge of tactical error, and
they deplored in their verdict the fact
that the command of the Italian troops
had been ''confded to an incompetent
leader"
Baratieri, native of Austria, had
been one of Garibaldi's red-shirts,
with Crispi, and had been favored by
the powers that were, He was brave at
MARSHA, and If he had died at Adowa
leading his men, as Dabormida did, he
might have saved his reputation, not
as general, but as fighter. AS it
was, he died in disgrace.

AS Others See Us.

In commenting on the policy of the
Administration being pursued in the Phil
ippines, at the bidding of the millionaire
class, London paper says:
"The sanction by the supreme court of
the United States of Americas adoption
of the imperislistic methods of the old
world monarchies is the most staggering
blow that has ever been aimed at repub-
licanism. The American demand for alb
sorbing the Philippines is every whit as
rascally as the British demand for absorb
ing the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State, and our jingoes are taking comfort
from the fact that America, like England,
has become region where there amt
no Ten Commandments America S
conduct in the Philippines has been char
acterized by shameful hypocrisy and vio-
lation of good faith. Aguinaldo to free
the Filipinos from Spanish rule, arranged
to act against Spain in alliance with
America, on condition that the indepen-
dence of the islands should be secured
under an American protectorate. In vio-
lation of the terms of the understanding,
America actually paid price to Spain
and took forcible possession Of the
Philippines"
The reason for this departure from
American principles is pointed out to be
exploitation by this millionaire class,
these men having no higher conception
of government. their energies all being
directed toward transplanting the liberty
loving spirit of the people with one OF
commercialism-a grab for land and
markets.

AS GOOD AS A SEA SERPENT.
A Large MeteOrite Falls at "A Seaside
Summer Resort and Relieves
the MOnOtOny.

The sea serpent has failed to put in
his annual appearance at the coast re-
sorts this summer, but a substitute
has been found, says an eastern ex-
change. Atlantic City was startled the
other day when an unusually loud
clap of thunder, accompanied by a
binding flash of lightning and a slight
trembling of the earth, occurred
shortly after four o'clock. AT first it
was thought that the bolt had struck
large building, but this was found to
be incorrect.
Later it was learned that a large
meteorite weighing nearly three tons
had fallen upon Chelsea Heights, al
most mile north of Columbia avenue
and across the Beach thoroughfare.
It had fallen upon piece of waste
land and had buried itself to depth
of nearly ten feet in the soil. The
shape of the mass of mineral matter
from space is somewhat irregular,
though resembling to slight degree
an egg flattened upon one side, with
a corresponding protuberance upon
the other. Its color is blacklist gray,
streaked with bright scintillating
lines, which run irregularly across the
upper portion. The presence of sui
phur was observed from the smell
which permeated the air for several
feet around it.
All day long crowds went over to
gaze upon this strange visitor from
pther worlds. 1t is said that local
scientist has communicated with the
Smithsonian institution in Washing
ton as to what shall be done with the
meteorite.

AS To Reorganization.

The loyal Democrats who have borne
the burden of recent campaigns and who
have made pecuniary sacrifice to support
Democratic principles, ought to learn
something of the meaning of reorganiza-
ton by running over the list Of suggested
presidential candidates Among the men
who supported the Democratic ticket in
1896 and in 1900 mot becuse of party reg
MARTY but because of conviction) were
some of the best, bravest and truest DEM
ocrats ever known, and yet none of them
are mentioned in connection with the
presidency. The reorganizers want char
mony" and their method Of securing it is
to place under the ban all who believe in
the creed of the party as promulgated by
recent national conventions. The reor-
ganizers consider three things essential to
success, viz first, the abandonment Of
the Kansas City platform; second, the
nomination of candidates who do not be-
1ieve in that platform; aud, third, the
selection of national committee com
posed of men who either opposed the
ticket in 1896 or gave it passive support.
Why ostracise the best men in the party !?
Why place premium on disloyalty p
