No one, be in timates, is allowed to discuss or ev en mention it who has any connec tion with that great national home stead. This is merely a conjecture in connection with the president.

Admiral Schley has already been vindicated by the evidence, and had been before the court convened for that matter The whole thing is a trick of those pusil lanimous officials m the navy de partment.” otherwise for advice when he wants to move. He seems to be set up pretty much on the European plan, at least, not on the American plan; a3 ho does things very much like B11 i5 T the war-lord; astoundingly out of the common line at times. In the course of human events what will become of that miscreant Maclay who called Admiral Schley a coward, a liar and caitiff in a so- ca’Sed history. The proofs at the inquiry have overwhelmed the wretch in his baseness, but hardly more so fhan it has Sampson and the other conspirators who used Ma clay R3 a contemptible tool. In the Alabama constitution good character forms a clause to give the franchise to citizens who otherwise could not vote. It appears that many negroes will thus earn the right to vote and they wiii form a union to protect themselves from the idle, vagrant Degro class that is an injury to tho negro race in the South. Thi3 is sensible it seems to us. We aimed a little squib at the Waynesboro brass band last week and were surprised to learn by a communication from the principal of the Haven Normal school that it had hit him. He regretted that it “should come before the public,” and adds that it “reflects discredit on the school.” We simply say to our colored friend,the principal,that we could not have meant to refl -ct on him or bis school, becauae we did not know the band was an ad junct of his academy, and that if the musicians do not reflect on his school he need not be afraid of our paragraph. We are quite sure he was unaware that the practice was objectionable when close b3 T being itself very “public” to a certain vi cinage. But let us turn aside to compliment the Haven Academy. It is conducted as quietiy and re spectably as any colored school. We wish it success in building up good citizenship and intelligent, honor able men and women for their country’s good. With many of its white friends of the town The Cit izen helped to build it and does not regret its contribution, nor would it injure it the least. ■ AN INTERESTING MAGAZINE. The most readable and interest ing magazine papers we have seen > for some time—-say since 'Ihacka- ray’s posthumous ietters — have been appearing in the Criterion for sev eral numbers. We allude to the Diary of John R. Thomson, ike brilliant Virginia poet, scholar and man of letters As we remember Thompson was once a citizeu of Au gusta as editor immediately after the war, during reconstruction days, Among other things that he wrote so entertainingly then was a short satorical ballard on the removal of Gen. Pope, the pompus, tyrannical satrap that figured as head of the Georgia Province at the lime. We don’t remember to have seen the poem since and wish some of the Augusta papers would resurrect it and republish it. It was one of those things, thrown off at th8 moment, which Thompson perhaps never thought worthy to go into a hook of his poems. Wo remember of it how he rung the changes on “Abiit, evasit, erupit John Pope.” The Diary' referred to in the last Criterion is of the date when he was in London, and it speaks of the great persons he met in England, among whom were Tennyson, Dick ens, Thackaray, Dean Stanley, Car lyle, Lady Franklin,Wilkie Collins, and many others who received him very kindly, and who entertained him often. His observations, after meeting these celebrates, are yery instructive reading and give an ad ditional insight into the characters of these immortal personages. We are somewhat surprised that such valuable contributions to the his tory of those days should not have come to light before, even tho the simple diary should not be as im portant as the studied efforts of an accomplished writer and historian. We ail know that many things of Pepy’s days, important in history, would have perished but for his pri vate daily records. WILL MAINTAIN BLOCKADE. General Smith Says Island of Leyte .Must Come to Teira<. Manila, Nov. 5.—Advices from Tac- lobart, capital of the Island of Leyto, re port that she p.residentes of various towns in the island have waited upon Briga- j jj dier General Smith and complained to 11 him that the people aie unable to pro- j * cure food because of the blockade that j ^ is maintained along the strait of San j s Jnanico. General Smith replied that j ? the strictest kind of a blockade would ! § be kept until the people of Leyte brought in their guns and gave the au thorities fail information concerning the insurgents who infest the country. All the arguments of the officials of the towns were unavailing. General Smith has ordered the aeoor- tation of the wife of General Lukban, leader of tin Samar revolutionists. Four native police officers were killed and their horses captured yesterday at Bay bay, Island of Leyte. Lieutenant Julien E. Caujot, with a derachmenc of scouts, encountered a body of insurgents southeast of Cafuio- gan, Samar island, and in the fighc which followed 25 rebels were billed. One hundred and seventy-five houses were burnet and 5,000 pounds of rice and 2,000 Palay were captured. THAT AWFUL HEADACHE wiil leave you if you’ll get a bottle of L.LL. Purely Vegetable. Regu lates the Bowels, tones up the Liver and makes you Free Railroad jP are About as cruel measures are brought to bear on the people of the island of Samar in the Philippines to compel the men to surrenaer as the English have brought to bear on the Boers, or as did Weyler on the Cubans. They say, however, this is modern civilized warfare,and starving families to death in order to conquer the territory, is as up-to- date as the old Spanish custom of burying them alive was aufait in those lively days of proselyting or preventing heresy. Wu Tung Fang who represents the Chinese government here, has been recalled. This is regretted. He is the mast accomplished and per haps the most learned Chinese ev er sent to the United States. As a diplomat, he is as acceptable to us as he is wise in the discharge of his duty. Many audiences in different parts of the country have listened with delight to his eloquent ad dresses and orations, and his learn ed lectures will be seriously missed. It is thought the Chinese govern ment has been offended at his groat popularity in this country and has recalled him. The election of Miss Mildred Rutherford as president of the Unit ed Daughters of the Confederacy was possibiy the best selectiou.that could have been made from the body of notable women who met In convention at Columbus this week. She 19 one of the best equip- and in man is the same disease, Monkeys “All well—all happy—lots of fun”. That is the regular* report from the monkey cage of Barnum’s Circus ever sined the keepers began dosing the' monkeys with Scott’s Emul sion. Consumption was carry ing off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accident ally broke a bottle of Scott’s Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of course it’s cheaper to buy Scott’s Emul sion than new monkeys—and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys CONSUMPTION. Diseases spring up of an epidemic nature and threaten the human race time and again,but they in the end, die out or are stamped out by human agency. Of this kind we have small pox, bubonic plaene, yel low fever, cholera and others. But there is oco not of this nature. It never dies, but like some ghastly companion of humanlty.unwelcome as an emissary of death, it marches side by aide with mankind, defying him while it feeds on human vitali ty in all the communities of earth. Insidiously it lays hold of some liv ing function and inch by inch the victim fades into death. Silently it seizes hold and once there it i3 as certain to hasten him or her to the tomb as the heart’s pulsations,which “beats out the little live? of men.” All the thought and work that have been expended oh its destruction have so far been as nothing. Stead ily it marches on in the vast, mul titudes of raankiud, increasing its victims as the sum of death is made up year after year. Of late years superhuman efforts have been made to find a conqueror for it; but to no avail. Thousands of times have the eyes of hope seen the legend blazened out, “Sure cure for consumption” and just so many times have lies trifled with faith on the edge of despair; has expecta tion ended in broken hearts at the feet of the merciless destroyer. The last great theory, of “How to combat it” is that of Dr. Knopf, of New York Citj 7 , read before the congress of physicians of Berlin re cently, who mat to consider the question of tuberculosis as a disease of masses. It is published to the world now for the benefit of man kind and every reading human be ing on earth should have a copy that the facts contained might be universally known. Perhaps the rules laid down might begin the ar rest of the destroyer, but the near est way to the practical benefits would be through the agency of the government. At whatever cost the highest authority should seize the moment and use its power to protect the human race, that sooner or lat er, must suecomb and perish if this terrible and merciless scourge is not stayed. SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION. War Office Will Send Out 5,000 31ore Mounted Men. New Tors, Nov. 4.—Commenting j on the South African military situation, the London correspondent of The Trib une says: “It is said to be the intention of the war office to send 5,000 more mounted men out to South Africa during the next six weeks. There are only about 7,000 mounted men at home, so that the military authorities are laced by the problem of training soldiers minus the necessary accompaniment of a cavalry arm. To meet this obvious failing it is probable that several composite regi ments of yeomanry wiil be voluntarily embodied for home service. “A move will soon be made to bring home from South Africa the men who have served over two years in the war and their place may be taken by the British cavalry division of seven regi ments now in India. After the conclu sion of hostilities it is expected that a permanent garrison at the cape will con sist of 50,000 men.” BOLD DIAMOND ROBBERY. Cincinnati Burglars Smash Window and Run With Tray of Gems. Cincinnati, Nov. 5.— Som9 time ear ly this morning burglars broke the large show window of the Duehme Jewelry company’s store on Fourth street, be tween Vine and Race streets, and stole about $20,000 worth of diamonds. In their flight they left a trail of dia monds, indicating the direction they took. The diamonds stolen were loose in a tray an<J the burglars are supposed to have taken advantage of the noise of a passing wagon or car to break the glass and seize the tray and run, as they overlooked much valuable goods in the same window. May Yet Be Alive. Washington, Nov. 5.—The state de partment has received telegraphic ad vices from its agents m Turkey aud Bulgaria in the course of which they express with conviction the opinion that both Miss Stone and Madame Tsiikaare alive and well or, at least, were so sev eral days ago. It requires some days for the news to be transmitted through the wild country where the women are held captives. Nothing can be obtained for publication respecting the progress of the negotiations for the ransom of the women. 31aJor Dawes Dead. San Francisco, Nov. 5.—Major H. O. Dawes, artillery corps, U. S. A, died last night at the Presidio, from an affec tion of the kidneys. Major Dawes ar rived from Manila ten days ago on the transport Meade. He served with credit dnring the campaign in China.
