Harry Black, Bernard Lichtig and Ed
wards, all former Manila residents,
have initiated here a get-rich-qmck
scheme, called the China Investment

1t is organized under the laws of Ari-

Afterwards the English firm caused legal proceedings to be instituted against the city council for declining the lowest offer. Parnelrs quarries were closed and the price of stone setts was raised to It's original mark. These are only q few in- stances of what is done by English manu- facturers to crush competition in Ireland.
 Readers of newspapers are informed by carefully prepared press dispatches that there is rioting in Belfast and boycotting somewhere else, but no mention Is ever made of the evictons or landlord cruel ties which the people suffer.

The offer was not an empty one, and many people were made to like General Wilson be- cause of his kindness. But Colonel Pat terson, like many others, had to make his escape from Selma, the paroles ending when the enemy started for Montgomery, q week later. He was put in the stockade again Auril s, the following day the col uInn of prisoners and guards were put m order, and late in the evening the mdrch began. They were to march nearly all night The colonel was seated on pile of blankets on a horse. Thus he rose Tn discomfort at the head of the column, by the side of the commanding Federal Of ncer There were about 20GO prisoners, and an Iowa regiment constituted the guard. When the river had been crossed the column entered a forest covered Tn many places with backwater from the overhowed river. and tho road became sort of causeway.
 When the blackness of night descended the thought of escape came into the col oneTs mlnd. Complaining of weariness from riding he was allowed to walk, and found a pretext for dropping behind the guard At a favorable moment he escaped into the darkness and boldly leaped from the causeway Into the water two feet deep Steathlessly but rapidly he waded away from the noise of the column. Ever and anon he could hear others plunsing from the causeway into the water. Soon he came on two young Missisippians who had made their escape. and with them he lay concealed behind a long fin the woods for A day. The enemy having entirely abandoned the country, the colonel parted with his young friends after dividing be- tween them Sj00 in Confederate money which he had on his person. The young soldiers gratefully pursued their way across country 10 their homes, and the colonel found a warm welcome at d hospital planters home in the rich coun- try which surrounds Selma; and, strange to saw he there made the acquaintance of lady visitor who was sister of the wife of Abraham Lincoln. After resting A few days Colonel Patterson went Into Selma where he met Lieutenant Colonel Windes of Roddy's command.

In some quarters it was feared that Blaine would get the nom ination despite all opposition, and tn en 1t was that third-term movement was set on foot. But fate ordered 1t other wise. The Mulligan letetrs were ex- plotted few weeks before the con- vention, and Blaine had sunstroke after the convention assembled and before the balloting. The opposition gathered around Hayes and he got the nomina- tion. .
 Tilden was elected and deprived of the office by means of perjury, forgery bribery and theft General Grant went abroad, circumnavigated the globe. and was accorded honors, by Christian and pagan peoples alike, such other American ever received. Though about the best administration of our history, the Hayes regime, was not only unpop- ular, but odious, due to the fraud and corruption of which it was the spawn. It took the bayonet out of the south, and what of carpet t-baggery that es capped the penitentiary fled from justice Specie payments were resumed, and about that time the G. O. P. pro- claimed the blasphemy that 1t was in partnership with Almighty God, and the American farmer who would have good crop must vote the republican ticket.
 Not one intelligent man of a hundred, whatever his politics. supposed the re- publican party had the slightest chance of electing their ticket in 1880.

 CT that officer was forced to retire to the rear by reason of injuries to his knee, was a man of natural worth. He was a graduate of Harvard. member of the Federal Congress and the Confed
 crate Congress, and of the Alabama legislature, an author of eminence and was twice minister of the United States to the court os Spain. It was as an educator, however, that he did most valuable service to the south. He was agent for the great Peabody and after wards of the Slater educational funds. Dr. Curry's faith in poular education, as well as his earnestness and power of eloquence are thus illustrated by Dr. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia T once heard him declare to an audience that it was the proudest duty of the south to accomplish the education of every child In its borders high or low, bond or free, white or black. The only reply to his appeal was silence. He shouted: I will make you applaud that sentiment. With strident voice and shaking of the head, after the manner of the orator of the olden time. he pleaded for human free dom. He pictured to his audience the ruins that may be wrought by hate. and the beauty of justice and sympathy until he awak kened in them the god of justice and gentleness that lies sleep ing in the human heart, and the ap

 Let us hear how these strong charac- ters struggled at the last, against great odds. to stay the march of the invader Prior to April, 1865, the federal general. Wilson. had assembled at CraVeley Springs a very large force. a large part of which had served as infantry, and this force he mounted and equipped with extraordinary care. Wilson s cavalry amounting to from l2O00 to IT 900 men was really an army on horseback-no such thoroughly select ed armed mounted. and equipped body of men had ever been seen before dur
 ing the civil war. The Confederates were not fully apprised of the purpose of this organiZa tion. General Rcddy went over the mountains into Mississippi to reinforce the Confederates who, under General Buford were expecting Will sons appearance there. Colonel Josiah

THE THIRD TERM

, petrated the unspeakable in rejecting the ticket No sooner was the election over than Blaine kidnapped Garfield and kept him in Oriental wards The political de- struction of Conkling was plotted and achieved. To do this the administration presented little Mahone's head to Ben Hill on a charger. The administration was going straight to destruction when the assassin's bullet did its awful work.
 When the republican national conven- tion of 1850 adjourned 1t was supposed that this country would not again be agitated by the third term specter for century; but in 1907 the most popular sug- gestlon in American politics Is third term for Theodore Roosevelt, and if the Sixtieth congress should vote on the Springer resolution next December, 1t will be beaten overwhelmingly.
 As In 1876 and 1880. there are nu- merous candidates for the republican nomination in 190S-Taft, Knox, Cannon, Fairbanks, all active candidates. The re- ceptiyes include Foraker, Hughes, La Fol lette Shaw, Cortelyou, Cummins Root, and perhaps others; but if Roosevelt should give the wink, all competition would vanish. His would be the only name presented and his nomination would be by exclamation. The chief con cern of the convention would be to find out his wishes as to second place. That Is the expected that Is likely to happen.
 It is not a happy family, this G. o. P. notwithstanding it's long string of sue cessive victories. American politics is re- duced to two men-one out-Bryans Rryans and the other out-Roosevelts Roosevelt, and both succeed capitally. Each says, Me too" to the other.
