So far nothing but trouble has been
dug up in Panama.

of Fourth of July casualties in the
Philippines.

The heads of the big insurance COM
panies were strenuous defenders OF
the nations honor in 1896.
The Fifth of July dispatches read
very much like the casualty reports
from the battle in Manchuria.
The reign of graft seems to be
about over The people once aroused
can accomplish any needed reform.
How many United States senators
are on the pay roll Of the great insur-
ance companies? Senator Depew was.
For Sale-A conscience. Apply to
those lawyers who for retainers given
employ their legal ability in aid OF
grafters, exploiters ana boodlers.
When Joseph Benson Foraker writes
his opinion of Lincoln ]. Steffens it
will make an ordinary fire alarm sound
like the ticking Of watch.
The administration is being very
much surprised at the appearance of
some Panama canal difficulties that
the general public was well aware OF
all along.
If there is any form of larceny that
the directors of the Equitable did not

The old saying that you have to

out of date. Many eminent gentlemen
have been beating the insurance COM
panies while still in the flesh.

cizing the trust magnates.
Secretary Shaw is now quite san
guine that if he can collect more mon

the next twelve months the deficit at
the end of the next fiscal year will be

The democrats of Ohio have gone
into the campaign with an excellent
platform ana with a ticket as good as
the platform. Pattison was one of the

to coerce their policy holders in 1896.
President Roosevelt is very anxious
to know why the Chicago grand jury
has not done more in the beef trust
case. Probably for, the same reason
that the man who went cunning for
ducks with brass band came home
without a feather.

LIEUT.. PEARY'S
: ARCTIC VOYAGE.

Lietenant Peary will start on his
search for the north pole within a few
days with the most carefully prepared
expedition that has ever headed across
the Arctic circle, confident Of success.
The entire expense of the venture has
been borne by Americans, hence there
is more than usual interest in this
country in the hazardous undertaking
The Age-Herald has the following to
say relative to the voyage:
Robert Z. Peary, who is an officer
on leave of the United States navy
has not only bulk a stout ship, the
Roosevelt, but he has obtained all
funds needed in his new effort 70 reach
the north pole. The money was OBJ
tanned through the Peary Arctic Club
o. New York, and the cost of the ex'
pedition stands at $3.50 900.
Into the new ship and the prepare
items for the new expedition goes all
the experience that Peary had &C
CURED in previous Polar travels and
OF all other men engaged in like work.
The dash to the pole viii not occur
this year. The remainder of this sea-
son will be devoted to the establish
ufent of bases and food sections, an6
the procurment Of dogs and natives
for the work OF next summer, when
Peary hopes 10 stand at the north
pole. The base of the expedition will
be located at the fagthest practie-
able northward point, so that the gap
between il and the pole can be crossed
in one quick dash of fully acclimated
men and dogs. 1t is a bold, brave at
tempt 10 overcome the rigors of the
Arctic climate in order to find some
thing that has sentimental value only.
Peary cannot even annex the pole to
the newly founded empire of the Unit
ei States, for Canada already claims
IT, He can simply look at the spot,
and hurry back to his food supplies
and warmer weather.

!, THE BATTLESHIPS
OF THE FUTURE.
New Orleans Picayune.
e&@x 1is 4 4: 4; + 4; \ 4 = 4 y

The principal innovation which has
resulted in the construction or rather
armament, of battleships, as a result
of the war in the Far East, will be the
, increase in the number of the large
calibre guns and the total elimination
of the guns of the intermediate cal
ibers. The experience of the battle
of August 10, 1904, off Port Arthur,
gave the first impetus to the determi.
nation to use more guns of large cali
Der at the expense of the intermediate
, calibers. That battle proved the value
OF lOng-range firing, in which only the
heaviest guns are of any value against
armored ships.
AS a result of the experience of the
battle of August 10, notifications were
Immediately made by the British gov
! eminent In the batteries of the King
Edward class of battleships then COM
pleting and nearly ready to the com.
missionedl by the elimination of four
of the 6-inch guns and the substitu-
ton Of two 7.2-inch guns, and the de-
: termination to equip the Lord Nelson
class of battleships then and still
building with ten 9.2-inch guns in
place of the large number of 6-inch
guns usually installed in battleships.
These 9.2-inch guns are of course to
be in addition to the four 12-inch guns
with which all British battleships are
provided.
The experience of the battle of the
Sea of Japan has so thoroughly con.
firmed the faith in the efficiency of the
large guns that the British government
has decided to Immediately lay down
new battleship to be completed and
commissioned in eighteen months. to
be called the Dreadnought, which will
mount ten Pinch guns, and no guns
OF intermediate caliber whatever. This
enormous battery will require vessel
O. $4,000 tons, but the ship, in spite of
that immense weight, will have a com.
paratively light draft, secured by very
great~-beam, and will have the i'm.
mense speed for a battleship of TWEEN
" knots. The British navy will thus
take the lead in building a battleship
with no guns smaller than 12-inch cali
Der except the light secondary battery
rapid-tire guns. INTENDED to fight off
torpedo boats. Aside from immense
gun power, practically double that of
the present-day battleship, the Dread
nought will have the great advantage
OF having to handle only one sort of
Dig ammunitiOn-a very important
consideration.
That the British navy has had ex.
ceptlonal advantages for observing the
results of the present war, is now
known for certain, it being admitted
that British officers have been allowed
on board the Japanese vessels during
the campaign as observers and naval
attaches. This privilege was Of course

The Travellers Dream.

A little room in a little hotel,
In a little country town,
On little bed, with mnsty smell,
A man was lying down.
A great big man with a great big
snore-
For he lay on his back, you see
And a peaceful look on his face he
wore,
For sound sleep was he.
In his dreams what marvellous trips
he made,
What heaps of stuff lie sold!
And nobody failed, and everyone paid
And his orders were good as gold.
He smiled, and smothered a seornful
laugh
When his fellow commercials crow.

half
Of what his order book showed.
He got this letter from home one
day
Dear Sir-We've no filter term
To use in your case than to Simply

Henceforth you are one of the firm. "
And a glorious change was made in
his life.
He now from the road withdrew:
And, really, soon got to know his wife
HIS son and his daughter, too.

PROPOSED MONUMENT
TO WIN. WEATHERFORD.
Mobile Register.

There is talk of erecting a monu
ment to the memory of William Wealth
erford at the site of his grave on Little
River, Baldwin county. Weatherford
was a remarkable man, but he was
also an Indian. He led the attack on
Fort Minis, August 80, 1913, of which
horrible affair Brewer says:
In the fort were 245 men under arms
commanded by Major Daniel Beasley
of the volunteers from the Natchez
country; and 30S women and children
negroes and friendly Indians. A re
roic defense was made, but, unpre'
pared and overpowered, the men were
slain in fight, and then non-combat'
ants (the women and children) butch
cred in a revolving manner. Less than
fifty escaped, and the fort was left a
smoking ruin. 1t exceeded in atrocity
and barbarity any massacre that has
ever occurred within the limits Of the
United States.
Pickett's story of, the massacre is
even more terrible. Pickett, it is
true. says that Weatherford shrank
from the scene of butchery and tried
to stay the hands of his savage follow
ers but those who propose the monu-
ment to the chief declare "He was the
chosen leader of the warlike Greeks,
In council his word was law, and in
battle his word was command" There.
fore, they, at least, must regard him
as responsible for what took place at
Fort Minis.
Weatherford, later, made. his peace
with the white people, and lived to be
respected personally by many Of them;
but why a monument to him by the
whites? Hasn't some one made a
mistake?

the type is to be made bigger and have
more powerful guns than ever. Here

granted because OF the intimate rela-
tions existing between Great Britain
and japan as allies. Some very highly
interesting information respecting the
memorable battle in the Sea of Japan
will be available when the British OBJ
servers who were present curing the
battle and had exceptional opportuni-
ties for observing all that occurred
make their reports.
Japan has also shown her apprecia-
ton of the lessons of the war by de-
Gliding to construct at once a 10000
ton battleship carrying the enormous
battery of four 12-inch and twelve 10
inch guns. Here also we see that the
intermediate calibers of guns have
been completely, discarded, although
instead of keeping to a single type of
big guns, as the British have done, the
Jaapnese will have two types.
This country will of course do moth.
