BY Lieut.-Gen. Jubal A. Early, C.s.A.
This is a story of the final campaign
of the rebellion beginning with tn
Wilderness, and in the Shenandoah Va
ley, told in a pleasing style by the famou
rebel leader. The narrative will be c
special interest to those who faced Earl
in the Valley under the intrepid Sher
dan.
We shall begin the publication of thi
important contribution to the history o
the great rebellion very soon.
UNCLE SAN has a fighting force of 16
100000 young men to draw from. II
can raise more good soldiers than any tw
nations in the world.
DICK CROKER promised his supporter
$4,000 majority. He was only $1,000

CHIEF DEvERY is a very bad man il

the Anarchists very quiet in New York
Noisy spoutings at Anarchist meetings
were the signal for police clubs.
WHAT the Governor of Indiana said tc
the Governor of Kentucky was that he
wanted to be sure of more justice and less
Cantrilism before he handed anybody over

IT is claimed that the American is los
ing his oId-time versatility, but Z. E.
Schmitz, the new Mayor of San Fran

expected to be?
TURKEY was frightened into paying our
little bill merely by the suggestion that
we would send a man-of-war TO collect it.
France had to actually send a feet and
take possession of custOm-house. Italy
is now thinking of doing the same. This
thing will go on until some little country
will send ships there that the rotten old
Turkish navy can whip, and then there
will be fun.
THE Filipinos find that we differ from
the Spaniards also in not allowing the
same trick to be played on us twice They
tried to repeat the same bloody game on
the Sth L. S. that they had worked on
Co. c, 9Th L. S, but found that the boys

THE English papers rather applaud
Senator Lodges declaration that the Mon
roe Doctrine is to be sternly upheld, and
backed by strong navy, and made to
include even the acquisition of coaling
stations, but the German papers as nat
urally resent it. The explanation is that
England feels that she has got about all
in this hemisphere that she can, while
Germany has wants.
QUEER men are elected Mayors nova
days. The Mayor of Minneapolis recent
ly offered the position of Chief Of Police

murderer, but Younger had the decency
to decline the position. What kind of
young men are they breeding in Min
neapolis now. that the Mayor can not
find a suitable Chief among them? There

some 30 years ago.
Now the war in South Africa will prob
ably come to a speedy end The Coy
ernment has decided to call out the vol
unteers in Cape Colony. 1t will therefore
get about the same quality Of soldiers as
the volunteers in this country, and they
will go at the war in plain, common
sense SOFT Of a way that will bring re-
suits. There is no reason why an Eng
lishman settled in Cape Colony should
not make as effective soldier as one
settled in this country, and we all know
how good they We're.
As TIE leopard can not change his
spots, neither can men brought up under
Spanish influences alter their life-habits.
The peace, order and security enforced
in Cuba while the Americans had CON
troll only went skin deep. The local pa

people are returning TO their old ways.
Brigandage has become very frequent,
and it is believed that the rural police
conniye al it and share the spoils wruHg
from the planters and merchants. There
are many murders, and the murdercrs
defy the law.
THE rebel statisticians must now 20
away back and sit down behind the mass
of misinformatiOn which comes to us from
South Africa. Gen. Samuel Pearson. the
BOer COmmissary- General. is now in this
country, and says that the Boer army
consisted of only 10000 men at the be-
ginning of the war The British claim
to have captured 10000 of these. but
the Beers have still 10000 men In the
field, against which the British have ar
rayed 100000 men. Now let us hear from
the British romancers.
