WITH THE JAckAss BATTERY.
Men and Mules Required for Work in
the Mountains.

One of the most interesting organi.
cations which took part in the man
euveY5 at Camp Tacoma, Washington,
Of western troops under Gen. Freder-
ick Funston was the 18th battalion,
field artillery, Maj. c. A. Bennett com
handing.
The battalion consisted of the seven
teenth and eighteenth batteries, some
times referred to as "jackass'' batter
les, says Leslie's Weekly, because Of
the use of mules. The battery pieces
are transported in sections on the
backs of mules, the guns and carriages
being divided into four parts, making
four packs for the same number of
animals.
This enables the batteries to be
transported through the most difficult
regions accessible to troops, and the
guns a be brought into action in
mountainous country. In the United
States army these batteries are COM
paratively new, but they received
their baptism in the Philippines and
have proved their practical value in
many skirmishes upon the cottas and
| forts of the Moros.
1t is surprising how rapidly the
mules are unloaded, the parts of the
gun thrown together and the gun
loaded, sighted and ready to be fired.
At a test of the eighteenth battery
the men ran the mules back fifty
PAGES, unloaded and assembled the
| gun and fired in As seconds. This was
q worlds record.
The work requires not only intelli-
gent but powerful men. The gun
itself weighs Sc pounds and the trail
the same. but the men handle the
pieces with ease.
The mules, too. are familiar with
the drill and perform their parts in
a very intelligent manner They know
their respective positions, and when
the load is lifted they Immediately
jump forward, so the piece can be
placed directly on the ground.
The gun used in these batteries has
a range of from $500 to 1000 feet. 1t
fires a large shell, but has a lower
muzzle velocity than the larger field
pieces. In design the piece is some
what similar to the screw gun of the
British army.

COINED A BIG WORD.
Little One Wanted to Pick the "Un.
derchiIdrenabIe" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "children's flowers" a
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and ~clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was c~ontentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped of blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner Ia
BILE. She ran over to grandmother and
promptly coined n Of the longest
words a f~our-year-old ever used.

The Democratic Problem.

The question of who the Democrats
will nominate for president is no
nearer being settled than it was be-
fore the discussion of the wisdom of
nominating a southern man was first
preached. The question is one of ex-
pediency and whether there is a prob
ability of more electoral votes being
counted for some other candidate than
Mr.. Bryan could secure. The Mem
phis Commercial-Appeal seems to hit
the nail on the head when it says, "the
main question is: Can Bryan be
eIected?" Col. Alexander Troup, the
editor of the New Haven Union, and
The head of Mr.. Bryan's literary bu.
reau, has told the country that as MAJ
tiers now exist Mr.. Bryan would be de-
seated, but that something may hap
pen before the convention meets to
change these conditions. This frank
ayowal of Col. Troup is what has led
60 the consideration OF other leaders
and the canvas of their ability to So
cure the necessary electoral votes Of
the close and doubtful states. As the
national convention viii be composed
Of the principal leaders of the party
1t is certain that the most available
man will be chosen, for the great DE
sire will be to name a winner and il

Draining the Everglades.

After many years Of discussion
without any real action, the state Of
Florida has at last commenced the
work of draining The great submerged
tract known as the Everglades. This
is to be done by cutting a series of
canals leading into rivers on both the
gulf and Atlantic slopes. The Sec
ton to be drained comprises about
5000, 900 acres, upon which there is
very little timber or brush, conse-
quently the work of reclamation will
be comparatively easy, and it is ex'
pected to have several thousand acres
ready for cultivation and settlement
by December of this year. Owing to
the latitude and the great richness OF
the soil, this land will be of great
value when thoroughly drained.

That Beef Combine.

The beef trust, that some people
imagined had been dissolved by the
federal courts when the celebrated
Injunction was Issued at Chicago, is
still doing business at the old stand,
and in the old way, as far as the I'M
fortunate consumers are concerned.
The price of beef and other meats has
again been advanced, and the agents
of the beef trust blame 1t on the new
inspection law. They claim the meat
packers have to bear all the loss from
food animals rejected by United
States inspectors as unfit for the
market. AS the Republican congress
kindly appropriated the necessary
millions to pay for the inspection
which should be paid by the trust
the only way for the people to get
even is by bringing pressure on the
coming congress to change the Law
SO that the packers will have to pay
the inspection charges.

HOME RULE AND STATE RIGHTS,
Some Historical Facts About the 10.
sue Involved.

In view of the "nationalism" advo-
Gated by Mr.. Roosevelt and his little
coterie of conspirators against local
and state rights, Mr.. Johnson Sher-
man, of New Haven, Connecticut,
writing about the adoption and true
construction OF the constitution of the
United States, says: when in the
crisis of it's fate and when all hope
of success in creating a solid union
had well nigh vanished, Connecticut
broke the deadlock created by con-
f1ict between pure nationalism n
pure federalism in the new govern
ment by proposing that the Senate
be composed of two Senators from
each state chosen by the Legislature
thereof. The proposal was finally ac'
cepted. With it IA associated anoth-
er successful motion, made by Els
worth, that instead of the words the
national government in Randolph's
plan there be substituted the govern
ment of the United States Probably
the words nation and national are
not III Ino COuSlltutlOH-
Those two triumphant motions,
followed by others on the same line
proposed by Ellsworth and supple
mented by the tenth amendment,
tacitly agreed upon for future adop-
ton, after acceptance by the states
of the constitution, saved the day,
as historians tell. The voters OF
Connecticut, made the new government
partly federal and partly national Sc
cured the union and the birth of q
new nation in America.
THAT rejected 'nationalism' Presi
dent Roosevelt is, in the rapidly in
creasing opinion of Connecticut Re
%publicans, ~endeavoring to jam into the
platform of the next Republican ma
tional convention"
This is a timely and important his
torical statement. Neither the word
national" nor the word nation" in
the singular number, appears in the
constitution. The word nations" Is
used only twice-first in clause 3 or
section 5 of the first article, which
provides that congress shall have
power to regulate commerce with for
eign nations; and again in clause 10
of the same section, which gives to
congress the power to punish Of
| lenses against the law of nations.
This then,is a federal, not a national
government. Yet, as Mr.. Sherman x
| plains that: Roosevelt fancies that
whenever congress may take a hand
in the regulation of commerce among
the states the states cease to exist.
1t is incredible that the Connecticut
| delegates to Philadelphia in 1887
| could have tolerated the existing com
merce clause in the constitution il
any one had suggested a possibility OF
the Roosevelt Interpretation.
His endeavor is by hook or by
crook to squeeze into the next Repub-
lican national platform a v~indication
of the twin evils of nationalism and
socialism, and get a fitting candidate
for such a platform"
Let Democrats watch developments
along this line, and prepare to coun'
teract the efforts of the conspirators
by putting forward next year a plat
form and a candidate in harmony with
the spirit of the constitution on this
point.

marv,a important testimony.

Justice Brewer, OF the United states
supreme court is said to be the author
of this story: A witness testified In
a certain, case that a person named
Mary was present when a particular
conversation took place and the ques-
ton was asked: "What did Mary
say?" This was objected to and after
some discussion the judge ruled out
the question. An exception to this
decision was Immediately taken and
on appeal the higher court reversed
the verdict and ordered a new trial
on the ground that the question
should have been nswered
At the second trial the same inquiry
was propounded and ELECTED the infor'
nation that Mary said nothing"

Death Recalls Ocean Duel.

The recent death in France of Vice
Admiral Franquet recalls the fact that
he was the hero of the only naval en-
gagement in the Franco-Prussian war.
The scene was Havana, where Fran
quet commanded the Bouvet, which
kept watch on the Prussian ship Me-
teor. The latter was well armed,
though the Bouvet had only light ar
tillery. Franquet challenged the Ger
man captain to a naval duel, and the
offer was accepted The boats sailed
from the harbor, followed by Span
ish ships as umpires. The Bouvet at
once rammed the Meteor. Both ships
were badly damaged.
