It is plainly eeidonl that tbia gov
ernment must depend entirely upon
ite own troops to driee the Spaniards

able to act an guides and pickets, but
they can baldly be depended upon to
do any *ffecti»e fighting.
A commentary on tbe present erase
for military trappings for the purpose
of feminine adornment may bo found
in the reply of a young soldier at
Chickamauga whose sister ranted to
make up a box for tho boys at tbe
front and asked him what she should
send. “Dear sister," be wrote, “send
me safety pins. I've just met fifteen

Representative Laeey of lowa baa
introduced into Congress a bill pro
viding that volunteer soldiers io the
field may vote in congressional elec,
tione during tho present war. II the
congressmen would devote a little
more attention to looking out for tbe
comfort, rather than the votes, of the
iron in the field, the volunteers would
be tho better off for it.
Coxey, who organised an army to
march upon the capital of bio own
country, has not been hoard from
since the outbreak of tbe war. Debs,
the sell lauded frieod of the downtrod
den and oppressed has not come to
tbe front to offer hie cervices in behalf
of tho suffering poor of Cuba Coxey
and Debs and their kind will not re
ceive mnch consideration from tbe
American people when they try to
posh themselves into notice again.

la the growing server of the patri

volunteers to serve in our war of hu
manity, the last vestiges of tba sees
tioaal hostility which once made Ma

have been burned away. By a nnani
moos vote, after speeches of generous
appreciation for the many evidences
which have been shown of true loyalty
to flag and country in every part of
our land, tbe National House of repre
sentatives went on record, yesterday,
for the abolition of tbe little that re

There are several methods by which
mines and torpedoes anchored in har
bors may be detected, says the Chica
go Record, but it is very dangerous
and difficult wore, and its success de
pends largely upon the eircnmstaucos
and the condition of the water and
the bottom of the bay in which they
are placed Sometimes they are dim
covered by dragging with a hedge;
sometimes they can bo seen whoa the
water is dear, and in order to assist
the natural vision a canvas telescope
is rigged which drops upon the water
and shuts out tbe light from tho eyes
of tbe obeerver, to that be can have a
hotter view of tbe bottom. There are
other methode also known to tailors
and frequently practiced; the meet ef
fective is called '•countermining*'—
that is the expfonon of torpedoes in

plague of legislators;

CM*****. . & •'
Baton Rouge freely translated means
red stick That is the limit of my un
ilisstanrtirg of the affair, however. It
is a quaint old town, consisting chiefly
ct river When I studied geography
several decode* ego. I knew that Loairi
ana had two capitals, one at New Or
lomis *nd the other at Baton Rouge.
They have got tired of entertaining
legislators at New Orleans at late years
and have unloaded the whole job upon
the smaller and more nearly deCenselees
city.
Looking back to those old days, I re
call that Louisiana was one of the very
few states whteh required two rents for
legislaturea. Connecticut was one,
with Hartford and New Haven as cap
ttala, and Rhode Island, the smallest of
atatea, was another, with Fkovldence
and Newport. Os late years there has
been a sort of centralisation of capitals.
The fashion of having one at every en
terprising city in a state has fallen into
disuse. Yon might tramp aD over any
of the states nowadays and not run the
risk of blundering into a legislature in
full blast where It might have been
least expected. I asked the Pocatello
man what he thought was the reason
for tbe wealth of capitals in earlier
times.
"In those days, ” he said, "the states
were young and tender and had not
fully developed their muscle and their
power of resisting great assaults. It
was therefore to dirtribute the evil of
a legislature sitting over a great deal ot
country so as not to give any particular
city the worst of it As time went on
and a town showed especial hardihood
and ability to stand great calamity the
legislature was switched upon it as a
perpetual and permanent institution.
New Orleans and Newport and other
towns which in other days were capitals
had the good luck to draw two aces and
to win out, sending the legislature in
tbe one instance to Baton Rouge and in
the other to Providence.- It takes, a game
town to stand a persistent plague of
legislature. ”—Chicago Record.
