OUR ARMY UNIFORM
FROM FIRST TO LAST

ing the civil war and the practical gem
ius of the American soldier, already noted,
tended to tone down the brightness of
the blue. This tendency became still more
marked in the succeeding Indian cam
paigns. When the Spanish war began the
field dress of the regular army, no mat
ter what the regulations said, was in
fact wooden shirt, trousers, brown
SLOUGH hat, shoes, cartridge belt and
gun. And the soldier who kept his cart
ridge belt filled and his rife in first class
condition was not pestered on active ser
vice with questions about the color of his
clothes.
The American soldiers laudable habit Of
thinking for himself, wherein he excels
all other soldiers, as well as the wisdom
of military experts, has led to the formal
adoption Of the earth-cOlored service uni
form and the formal reservation Of the
blue uniform for dress occasions and
parade purposes. The practical change,
in fact, preceded the change in law. And
so the historic blue uniform disappears
from the battlefield as visible fact, and
yet remains in the larger field of public
thought and imagination.
In the blue uniform the American sol
der has fought since there was a United
States. In blue he fought and won the
greatest. war in history. Blue he viii
still wear with pride, though not for his
working clothes. For that reason, no
matter what the regulations say, to all
the world in song and story so long as
the republic endures American soldiers
will stin be the Boys In Blue"

ANOTHER BIG COTTON STORY.

The Journal referred a few days ago to
the report that a powerful syndicate had
been formed in Philadelphia TO go into
the production OF sea island cotton in
Cuba on an immense scale.
We have seen nothing very definite
about this alleged enterprise and have no
idea that any great result win come from
It Cuba is not distinctly a cotton produc-
ing country. Several attempts have been
made to grow cotton on that island, but
none of them have ever succeeded to a
notable extent. Nobody who is familiar
with the conditions in Cuba has come for
ward with the prediction that cotton will
become a staple crop there.
The soil Of the greater part of the island
is wonderfully rich, but both It and the
climate seem 10 be much better adapted
to some other crops than to cotton Of any
kind.
This Cuban story. which has gained lit
tie credence anywhere, is followed by ru-
mors Of another gigantic cotton scheme.
Philadelphia capitalists are said to be
back Of this also. but the scene of pro-
posed operations is located in Africa.
The sensational publications that have
appeared concerning this alleged under
taking declare that options have been OBJ
tanned on $1,000 square miles. an area larg-
er than the state Of Kentucky. in 1.-The
cotton zone OF Africa" and that all of
this territory will be taken up by planta-
lions which viii produce cotton to COM
pete with that raised in our southern
states.

British sources, but it is quite probable
that new regions for the production Of

worlds demand for that article increases.

to increase far beyond its present figure,
though that is already nearly 20 per cent
of the entire value Of the crop.
It is possible that the time may come
when foreign competition in cotton pro-
duction will be a serious matter for the
south to consider, but there is no pros
pect of the arrival of such time in the
near future.

MY UIFE IND CHILD.

BY fears oppressed. or hopes be-

From every danger, every foes
o, GOdi protect my wife and child!
Now, while she kneels before Thy
throne,
o, teach her, ruler of the skies,
That, while by thy behest alone,
Earth's mightiest powers fall or
rise,
No tear is wept to thee unknown,
No hair is lost, no sparrow diesl
That thou can'st stay the ruthless
hands
OF dark disease, and soothe its PAIN
That only by thy stern commands
The battle lost, the soldiers slain
That from the distant sea or land
Thou bring'st the wandered home

And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-wet cheek is sadly prest;
May happier visions beam upon
The Frightening current Of her :

No frOwning look nor angry tone
