sun rose there was no enemy in our

the small means with which it was
by the feeling that General Taylor had
been treated with injustice. Thence

sary to increase our force, the Missile

some companies OF the First N1issis-

returned with the statement that the
enemy was behind us, that all our
troops had been withdrawn, and that
orders had been three times sent to
me to return. Governor Henderson, Of
Texas, had accompanied the Texan
troops, and on submitting to him the
question what we should do under the
message, he realized, as was very
plain, that 1t was safer to remain
where we were than (our supports
lhnving been withdrawn) to return
across streets, where we were liable
to be fired on by artillery, and across
open grounds where cavalry might be
expected to attack us. But he added
| that he supposed the orders came from
the general In chief, and we We're
bound to obey them. SO we made dis
positions to retire quietly; but in pass
| ing the first square we found that our
movement had been anticipated, AMI
that a battery of artillery was posted

ment made by me for crossing it was
that l should go first; If only one gun
was fired at me. then another man
| should follow, and so on, another and

and then all of them should rush rap

only the privilege of retiring peace
fully-a privilege which, If 1t had
been accorded, they had the power to
take by any one of the three roads
open to them. The point beyond which
they should withdraw was fixed by the
terms of capitulation, and the time
during which hostilities were to be

ganize against Theodore Roosevelt on
a political basis and put up one Of
their own Representatives for the
Waite House in 1908, they counted
without their host, and the scheme Is
already torn to shreds.
The people are In the saddle in this
country yet and the money program Is
not quite all ll-powerful. The money
masters are warranted In their belief
that ready coin can compass almost
everything; they have had experience
Of the most convincing sort on this

The American mind has an ugly
habit Of revertlng to old standards Of
relief against the wide liberation given
to the devil policies In vogue
today, and when 1t invokes the old
criterion Of public and private honesty
and calls for showing on that basis,
no power on earth, not even money,
can swing the popular conscience from
its God Of the hour. Roosevelt typl-
