SMALL UNCLE SAN AND LITTLE
AGUINALD0.

E,The capture of Aguinaldo, while
tend ing largely to end the war, wal
ccomplished in a way not creditablt
to high toned and honorable people
The treacherous act of his former
trusted friend, taken advantage OF by
the authorities OF the United States
and used in his capture, will always
carry with it an odor not agreeable tt
the senses of high minded and chiVal
rous people in their conduct OF a bus
mess, even the business of war. The
capture, however, comes too late. Ii
could have been accomplished long
ago. 1t not only could have been &C
complished by deceit and treachery as
now, but Aguinaldo was in a portion
of the country where be could have
been surrounded and captured in the
regular course of warfare any time the
eff ort had been made. But this would
have been killing the goose which was
laying the golden egg. The army OF
100, 900 men would then have had no
excuse to justify its formation. the
opportunity to appoint 5000 OF more
officers to the regular army would not
have been given the President, and a
bill for vast navy could not have been
pushed through 80 easily had this poor
little Filipino been prisoner, az with
him in the jungle. It is notable that
leave was not given Funston to per-
form this trick earlier. How inoppOr-
tune would have been such a capture
before the presidential election. But
the deception could hold out no longer.
The disgrace of this war, equal in bru-
tally if the real facts were known,
to that the British are waging on the
Beers and as ineXcusable, was grow
ing SO farcical that something must
be done to avoid everlasting disgrace,
so consent was eiven Funston, and the
job was a cinch. In their march on
Aguinaldo's place OF hiding the Fun
ston party never met any opposition
that could not have been brushed out
of the way with q small detachment,
and what was pitiable and pathetic
was that when AguInaldo's little body
guard of fifty or sixty men drew up in
line and saluted what they thought
were their friends, the supposed friends

smirched the government of this

name which the people at large do not
deserve, but which they must bear
because it pleased the bosses to have
it that way.

Reply to an Anonymous AssaIIant
EDITOR SPECTATOR

IOR CI HI Al Oh
The very best reply that can be
made to the man who, hiding behind
the name of "a Democrat" in last
weeks SPECTATOR, attacked me, is
the republication of the card / sent to
1.-THE News. 1t Can not be published toe
often or circulated to widely, for ii
shows up the true inwardness of what
is going on in Staunton. Something
every county man ought to know.
That it was a we'll aimed brick, the
ours prompt howl that followed after
it's throwing, clearly showed Below
reproduce the card.
W. A. CRAWFORD.
Editor of the News:
You advise democrats that it is safe
TO defy the authority of their county
committee, and at the legal primary
cast ballots with only one name, in
stead OF the two required, for conven-
tion delegates.
The county democrats understand
this advice fully. The only practical
effect it would have if acted upon
would be to enable the friends of the
weakest city candidate to push him
ahead by "plumping.' Your weak
candidates friends scour the county
for county names for his petition, and,
then, when the primary comes, they
strike off the county candidates. names
strike off everybody but their man,
and let the county man be beaten.
This is not the first trick Staunton
clfques have tried on county men, and
you may depend on it that the man in
whose interest it is attempted will not
find his name on manv county ballots.
We will pay him IN his own coin.
The county committees rule bears
equally and fairly on every candidate
for the convention, and applies to all
alike. 1t is the rule of the party for
this primary, and cannot be evadeG or
disobeyed by loyal democrats.
And let me say, in addition, that we
county Democrats know good deal
more of what is being cooked up in
Stanton just now than the News, or
the candidate whose cause would profit
by the suggestion of the News, think
we do.
The idea that any Democratic voter
can't find two candidates out of four
such men as Patterson, Smiley, Brax-
ton and Quarles, must be put out as
a joke. W. A. CRAWFORD.

TO RESUME BOXING IN CHICAGO

The question OF legalizing boxing bouts
in Chicago Will be decided by the city
council next Monday night when a reso-
luton will be introduced resembling the
resolution passed last December, a short
time after the McGovern- Cans fiasco. The
December resolution recommended that
the police department and mayor refuse
TO issue permits for boxing matches.
Mayor Harrison is rather non commit
tai I'm regard 10 Une question. He said
that he would take no action in the mat
ter one way or the other until the coun-
ell had done something with the Decem-
ber resolution. He added:
II have been petitioned by several pro-
moters, but cannot act until the records
have been cleared. ] am thoroughly sat
isfied that II the game is allowed to go
IL will bo conducted honestly, and III II
IS not there will be another and more
thorough finish for IL than there was
before. IL is my idea TO place "A strong
limit on the bouts and sanction only those
of high class. and not permit any of the
little back room fights TO proceed" q"
The mayor Will not say what he
thought was a good limit TO place on the
bouts, but IL is generally understood by
those close 10 him that he intends TO al
low a couple OF big shows a month and
that this will he the limit.
