Colonel Cockerill Discourses trie
Spartans of Asia.
Their Fine Soldierly Bearing. When
Once Roused They Do Not Know
What Fear Is. Not Yet Thor?
oughly Tested. Love of
Country Their Slogan.
The favorite discussion in foreign oir
o'te.s here just now is the probable future
of Japan from a military standpoint It
Is beld that while Japan has shown won?
derful skill, alortno.?3 and eonrage in
her war with China she mot with such
ellgbt resistance that one cannot judge
rightly of her real fighting capabilities.
It is difficult to fiud an Anglo-Saxon
who can be induced to beliovo that a
Japanoso army can bo created which
will stand up man to man aud faco
such troops as Kngland, Germany or
tho United States could put in the Held.
Of coarse the fighting persistency and
endurance of tho Japanese in modern
warfare have not been tested. We know
that the Teutonic and Aunlo-Saxon
races will fight all day and get up next
morning and begiu where they left off.
Wo Vnow that iu prolonged sieges,
maroues and charges they have tho
"bang on" or bulldog characteristic.
This baa not been demonstrated of tho
Japanese, for nobody has recently stood
still long enough in an inimical way to
enable them to test that great military
quality.
But this wo do know?that tho Japa?
nese are a nation of warriors, fierce und
implacable, despite their polite externals
and quiet, demeanor. They are proud
and sensitive, oven to the point of kill?
ing thcmsolves when humiliated. They
do not know what fear is whon their
blood is np. Tho foreigners who were
with them at Ping-Yang, Port Arthur,
Woi-Hai-Wei and Newohwangsay that
they went to battle with light iu their
faces and tho joyousness of a picnic, in
tlioir demeanor. There were no strag?
glers to the rear or three or four faint
hearted meu helping a comrade to tho
ambulance who had met with misfor?
tune in having hip ear or a finger shot
off, ns I saw in our civil war. They arc
the most obedieut and easily disciplined
meu in the world. They love tho mili?
tary routine and will sit or stand all
day whero tboy are told to remain. They
livo ou little, aud they never complain.
They are just the right size for snldiorH
?i feet 11 inches being their standard
height. They nro muscular, and they
carry their loads with ease. Their pa?
triotism aud love of their oinperor nn
boundless. A foreign teacher in their
schools says that If every schoolboy
should be asked what his dearest ambi?
tion was he would reply froui Lis heart
that, his hope was that ho might somo
day dio for his emperor. It will lie un?
derstood that iu all the schools in Japan
tho boys wear moro or less of a uniform,
and all are trained in marching. In the
higher schools military drill is obliga?
tory. It wo have not hero the material
for soldiers, where is it to bo found?
When iu Bulgaria during tho Russo
Tnrkish war, I made up my mind that
the Turk, if he could have drill, disci?
pline and good leadership, was the great?
est fighting animal on earth, but in tho
very nature of things this fearless fatal?
ist cannot bo disciplined, and, as for
loaders, they uro not obtainable under
tho existing system. There are not ten
officers iu tho Turkish army today who
aro worth tho powder that would bo re?
quired to eliminate them from military
aotivity.
With tho Japaneso it is quite differ?
ent Their officers ate trained, skillful
gentlemen, and they know how to com?
mand the respect and love of their nu n.
Armed with the best weapons that can
ba made, ready always to die if need
bo, proud of themselves and halting at
no Baerifloo for their country, where can
better soldiers bo found, aud who is
willing to test their endurance? It re?
quires no porsuasivo bounty to tako
these men to war, and no shouting
priests to lead them on the battlefield.
Sbey are tho Asiatic Spartans, very
different iu mold and temperament front
the hireling Ghoorkus and Sikha of
England and tho tallow faced Tartars
who follow tho predatory eagles of Rus?

Tlolets This Cat's Fodder.
? big Malteso cat sits on a pilo of
books in tho window of J 2?? Broadway.
His name is Thomas, and to the aver?
age visitor to the store ho does not thaw
Kbit Unmindful of strokiugs and pet

swer tho pereon having tho flowers will
have a hard time to escape unless ho
takes pity on Thomas and gives him tit
least one. With bis noso buried iu tho
blossom tho cat sniffs for awhile and
then oats it as though it were tho
choicest of food tidbite. Many know

His satanic majesty sat upon his brim?
stone throne, fanning tho muggy atr
with his flamboyant tail.
Presently a new arrival in those parts
was unnouueed, and ho was forthwith
ushered Into the devilish domains.
He sniffed tho heavy air us if it were
a familiar dose to him, and bowing to
his majesty bo observed the peculiar
motions of his tail.
"Three strikes and out," he raid nftor
contemplating thoinfor about a minute.
"What's that?" inquired satan, rest?
ing his candal appendage across his leg.
"Ah. there, sate, old boy," greeted
tho visitor. "I was *o attracted by the
way yon handled yourself over the home
plato that I didn't kco you. How do you
do?"
"Whoare yon?" thundered his majes?
ty. I
"Me?" asked tho visitor, with guile

" Yes, slave."
"Coma off. I'm no slave; I'm an
American citizen." i
"In those domains, Hirrnh, yon aro my

"Yes, I am, I don't think," and the
visitor Stock his thumbs in his vest ntm- ]

the throne.
" Wo shall see," said his majesty, witli
an ominous shako of his locks, und beck?
oned to a host of imps.
Tho next minute the American citizen
was wondering what, had become of the
Monroe doctriuo, aud ho throw up his
hands.
"Given man a chance, won't you?"
ho snid hotly.
"Answer me I" thundered his majesty.
"Where are you fron;?"
"Chicago, of oourse," respouded tho
visitor.
His majesty rase to his cloven feet and
bowed.
"I bog your pardon," he said hastily.
"Come and take u seut by mo. I'm 1

"I knew a, gentleman once, " said Mrs.

Stoppnd the Imon-.t to Uet married.
A wedding ceremony, with morgue?
like surroundings, was performed at
Quincy today. As Coroner Piltmaii and
a jury were holding an inquest over the
body of Fred Cox, who was cut to the
heart by E<1 Hoggins, tho proceedings
wore interrupted by the entrance of sev?
eral handsome young ladies,accompanied
by male escorts.
Coroner Pittman and iho jury were
greatly surprised by tho entrance of the
young people and more so when one of
the party earnestly solicited the coroner
t<> suspend tho inquest long enough to
unite iu marriage Mr. Louis Dorueck
und Miss Margaret Core. The coroner
suggested a more appropriate place, but
Mr. Dorn eck explained that haste was
necessary, and accordingly the coroner
suspended the inquest over Cox's body
and spoke the words that made tlie cou?
ple ono. Miss Annie Dieber was first
maid of honor, und Mr. Carl Klappich

A DARK HORSE.
Don Dickinson Said to Aspire to tho Pres?
idential Chair.
Iu tho gossip of Washington Don
Dickinson has loomed up as a possible
candidato in 18915. His friends believe
this is tho significance of bis recent
speech ooucurniug the foreign policy of
this government.
If Dicklusou is really out for tho
presidential nomination, he will prove
a formidable competitor. His geograph?
ical situation is considered advanta?
geous. Ho will have the support of the
adtninintrntion to a large degree It is
an open secret that Dickinson has more
influence with Cleveland than any other
living man, not excepting Dan Lament
or .Secretary Qreshani. He is nearer
"the old man," as officials spook of tho
president, ti u Whitney over was. Ho
maintains his influence with Mr. Clcve
nnd, too, without loss of self respect,
for ho is qnita as frank and positive iu
his dealings with Mr. Cleveland as with
any one else.
Dickinson declined to bo secretary of
stato in this administration, and it has
all along been understood by his friends
that he did so for tho purpose of muking
.-oine money during tho four yens aud
of holding himself iu an independent at?
titude with 1890 in view. Ho is a man
>f wonderful energy, of great executive
ability and of a cortaia sort of enthusi?
asm which wius fast friends and is Ken
rally dubbed "magnetism." He has
been dcsoilbed as a man who makes it
a rule not to talk abont things, but to
do thorn. If ho comes out as a presi?
dentin! aspirant, the Gorman crowd will
at once whip out its knife, for there is
no love to be lost between Gorman and
Dickinson.?Chicago Times-Herald.
