"Lest We Forget; Lest We Forget."
One hundred and twenty-two years
ago tomorrow the fathers wrote for
the world and posterity a declaration
of the rights of Man. Theretofore
there had been mainly writings of the
rights of Government, written by kings
and nobles and setting forth their
privileges and the duties of servient
Man. Now a new era had come, be
gun by men who believed that "be
fore man made us citizens great na
ture made us men;" that men made
government, not that government
made men; that the creator is greater
than the created.
Into that declaration, that now gos
pel of liberty, they wrote truths which
they held to be self-evident. They
needed no explanation, no defense;
only bare statement. All men are cre
ated equal; no distinction of color; no
difference of race; no division by
bouyJnry lines of countries. Wherever
man exists, there, by virtue of that
existence alone, is equality. Not of
capability; not of social station; not of
wealth, but of rights. And chief among
these equal rights the fathers said
were life, liberty and the pursuit of
fiappiness. And for the purpose of
securing to each those rights, and for
no other purpose, governments were
instituted. Men made them; not they
which made men. And they went log
ically, relentlessly on and decreed that
all Just powers — they can have no un
just powers — of these governments
came from and were exercised with
the coiisent of the governed. Further
more, they said that, when govern
ments became perverted, deprived
people of those unalienable rights, the
people had a right to change them
for those that would effect their prop
er ends. And then they went out and
fought seven years to maintain their
declaration.
For a century and a quarter that
declaration has been our political
creed. Children have been taught it
in the schools; foreigners have read it,
and, accepting it, came and made
their homes under it, and on the na
tion's annual natal day the people
have assembled to hear it read. How
fares that declaration today? What
measure of observance are 75,000,000
people giving to principles to which
3,000.000 pledged their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honors, and
made sacrifice of lives and fortune?
The nation's anniversary cannot be
better spent by any citizen than in
taking account of stock to see if we
have held untarnished the national
faith. Has government preserved to
men from • men their equality of
rights? Has nowhere the old struggle
of men to gain control of government
to secure for themselves privileges
not enjoyed by their fellows been suc
cessful? Is every man free to pursue
happiness in his own way unham
pered by restrictions upon his liberty?
Has the state secured to men the right
to engage their activities in useful
work free from restrictions by state
or their fellows? And, if government
has not done this, and who will as
sert it has, have we not yet sufficient
work to do at home before embarking
in schemes to extend misgovernment
to others?
We see congress on the brink of vio
lating the basic principles of our na
tional life. One branch has passed
and another is on the verge of pass
ing a resolution, which the president
Is certain to approve, if passed, im
posing our government upon 100,000
persons inhabiting islands in the Pa
cific, without their consent, without
asking them if they will or no. Be
yond, our army has gone to make
conquest, as a measure of war, of
islands held by our enemy. Already
it is plain that there is a strong cur
rent of opinion that what we take
there we will keep; the people there,
equal in rights with ourselves, we will
govern as we will without their as
sent, just as they have been governed
by our enemy. We are preparing an
expeditionary force to occupy another
island and annex it to our territory
and impose upon its people, whether
they with it or not, our government.
Our troops are today fighting at
Santiago to expel the forces of a na
tion which governs that island without
the consent of the governed, and, in
spite of denials, it is apparent that the
intention is to substitute ours for
Spanish government without asking
the assent of the governed. In all
these cases we deny the equality of
man and assert our superiority; we
deprive them of un.-Uienable rights
and we deny to the world the faith,
of the fathers that governments are
instituted among men, by men, with
powers derived from the governed
and exercised by their consent. Should
we not, tomorrow, when the reader
finishes reading the Declaration of In
dependence, once held immortal, bow
our heads and say:
"Lord Go<! cf hosts, be with us v»t.
Lest we forget; lest we forget?"
Indicts the Wrorrg Pcrty.
When there is nothing else to de
nounce, no one else to thump, it is al
ways safe to pound corporations. So
we find platforms of political parties
breathing forth ?olemn warnings to the
people and belching out fierce denun
ciations of these soulless and bowelle.-s
| organizations and assuring the public
! that they dominate the state, its legis
lature, executive and judiciary, and,
with these captive, hold the whole peo
ple within th.-ir rapacious grasp. While
the term is usea indiscriminately and
applies as well to the corporation form
ed by a few men with small individual
capital, in older that the united wealth
may be more economically used in pro
duction or distribution, the epithets are
understood to be hurled at those cor
porations whose activities are limited
to the carriage of persons anfl the prod
ucts of their labors.
While this, on its face, is an indict
ment of these corporate bodies, it is" a
more forcible arraignment of the whole
body of voters. It indicts them of the
crime of being particep3 criminis in
their own spoliation. It charges them
with incapacity for self-government. It
Is an admission that our form of gov
ernment is a failure and that under the
voneer of self-government are the old
govern nu-Rtir of plutocracy, oligarchy
and aristocracy, all the more danger
ous and repugnant for lack of respon
sibility. For it is the people, not the
corporations, who elect governors ana
legislators amd judges, make and un
make them, chooae them from among-
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE- — SUNDAY JULY 3, 1898.
themselves; and, if governors will not
execute laws, if legislators enact or re
fuse to enact laws except as corpora
tions dictate, and if judges construe
laws or make juridical law adverse to
the rights of men and for corporate in
terests, then the fault is not with cor
porations, but with the electorate it
self. It has the power, and if that pow
er is used against it, it is because the
electorate is incapable of intelligent or
honest use of its power.
We demur to this Indictment. We
prefer to believe that the people gen
erally do not believe that they are rob
bed or greatly wronged by any of these
corporation.?. If they did, they would
very quickly find and apply a remedy.
They take a cool, common-sense view
of the relations of themselves and
these indispensable implements of mod
ern civllizatior. They 'balance the mu
tual benefits; they weigh against what
they give that which they get. They
put on restraints that are just and
grant privileges that are necessary.
They realize that a great industrial
revolution has come with the opera
tions of these corporations; that in the
turmoil of the first days rapacity found
opportunity for exploitation, but that,
in the process of adjustment, wrongs
have been righted and the business of
these corporations has assumed the
normal conditions that surround and
control all other fields of human activ
ity.
Whatever of just cause there may
have been for these chronic arraign
ments in past years, they now only
serve to sharpen* the teeth and claws of
that most voracious and rapacious of
creatures, the legislative wolf, who
secures an election to the legislature
for the sole purpose of striking corpo
rations. Every such body has a small
pack of these creatures who busy them
selves in concocting schemed by which
they can compel the corporations to
"bleed" as the price of peace. Alone,
they would be Innocuous, but they are
reinforced by a number of ho-mest as
sociates who come down to the stats's
capitol inflamed with the charges of
their party's platform and lend them
selves readily though Innocently to the
schemes of the wolves. The very alle
gation that corporations habitually cor
rupt legislators is the inducement for
every wolf to secure a seat there, and
always a sufficient number get seats
to compel corporations to fight legis
lation introduced for no other purpose
than to make them "bleed." When con
stituencies select senators and repre
sentatives who are men of good com
mon sense amd of sterling integrity, the
wolves and these declamations in plat
forms wiil both disappear.
To Help Thsmselves.
We hear and read much in these days
of the excellent organizing ability de
veloped in women by the club move
ment. That they have effected extensive
organizations, organizations that dis
play comparatively good working har
mony, cannot be truthfully denied, but
that they have brought this co-opera
tive force to bear upon the improve
ment of that kingdom distinctively
woman's, viz., the home, remains yet
to be proved. Efforts have been made
in this direction. There are household
economic olu'bs, cooking schools, home
study societies without number, but
the aroused energies of women have
not been organized, except in one or
two of the large cities, to relieve the
bane of the modern household, the in
efficient servant. When men suffer
from an evil they do not sigh and pin.?
and whimper, bu«t make a combined
effort for relief. Why should women
not prove a like effectiveness in their
co-operated energies? Every day we
hear complaints from the harassed
housemothers of the city: "No servant;
dismissed her for inefficiency, unclean
ly habits or dishonesty!" Nearly all
these women are members of well or
ganized clubs which, through their v ry
organization, are effecting the purposes
of combination. But what are they do
ing to help themselves out of thefr
daily perplexity? Complaints, however
touching, are impotent; men cannot
help them, and surely the servant girls
will not grow better of their own ac
cord. Is it not time that women arose,
shook off their lethargy and turned
their organized energies to some prac
tical account? In last Thursdays
Globe the co-operative servants'
bureau of New York was described 4n
detail. The organization, made up of
only nineteen prominent women at
first, grew ra.pidly to a large and above
all effective organization, which is a
godsend to the women of that city as
well as to worthy and efficient serv
ants. The whole plan, as described in
the issue referred to, may not be
feasible for St. Paul, but it contains
suggestions for local organization.
Some weeks ago the Boston bureau
was described in these columns, and
it is not improbable that English
bureaus would furnish some valuable
ideas.
At any rate there Is need for intel
ligent resistance to this ogTe of com
fort. Household economics are good:
they will redound to the comfort of
posterity ; but women need relief now,
and this will come only by vigorous
local treatment.
A few ladles have seriously consid
ered the undertaking, but they need
the moral as well as the active sup
port of .the women of the city. The plan
needs to he carefully developed, and
to this end an interchange of ideas is
desired. Such suggestions either from
home or from abroad will appear from
time to time in the woman's depart
ment of The Globe, and helpful
hints all along the line of development
will be given spacs.
Germany Misrepresented.
If one were to pin faith to the state
ments, cabled from London mainly,
relating to the attitude of German
opinion towards this country, he would
believe it to be generally hostile.
There is such a uniformity in the tone
of these dispatches as to warrant the
belief either that Germany is sympa
thetic with Spain or that the reports
come through a source that colors
them to suit its own prejudices. Doubt
less there are expressions enough in
German papers and among Germans
to supply ample material for one who'
is looking only for such views. So,
too, we have every few days a persis
tent repetition of the statement that
the German emperor is meditating a
descent upon Manila, with a view to
extending his possessions under the
pretense of protecting German mer
cantile interests in the iiJlands.
German residents here, German-
Americans, who keep in touch with
the press of the fatherland, frequently
express indignation at this evident
coloring of news and this persistent
presentation of opinions unfriendly to
this country, ignoring the greater sen- ;
timent of friendliness which also finds
public expression there. This has
caught the attention of German pa-
pers, and one of them, the Berliner
Tagblatt, one of the most widely cir
culated papers in Germany, does not
hesitate to allege that the London
manager of the American news service
habitually editsDthe. news that comes
to him from Germany so as to give the
Impression of hostility to
American readers. Sharp criticism
there has been, and. in the limited cir
cle represented by the Agrarians there
is outright enmity having its source in
the same motives that have made the
beneficiaries of our protective tariff
system detest everything foreign from
men to goods. In fact, the protection
ists on both sides of the water have
done much to create prejudices and in
flame angry sentiments. So far as
the effect upon opinion is concerned,
it is immaterial whether the war be
one fought with battleships and army
corps or with tariffs. Either is war
and either engenders Intense feelings
of hatred. In fact, it would probably
be found, under analysis, that com
mercial warfare breeds the intenser
feelings.
It is due to this perversion of news
and views that the American impres
sion of the German emperor is that of
a hot-headed, nighty, hare-brained
youngster, whose cranium has been en
larged by his position. Once in a while
some remark of his is garbled to make
him ridiculous, and these recent reports
of his intention to interfere in the Phil
ippines are intended to create in Amer
ican minds an impression that he is but
waiting the opportunity to give his
hostility practical direction. Harold
Frederick, the foreign correspondent
of the New York Times, presents a dif
ferent view of Wilhelm and his attitude
toward this country. It is a fact that
he does not sympathize with Agrarian
sentiment nor share its protectionist
views. He leans rather toward free
trade, the extending foreign trade of
Germany demanding it. He has on
one side his hereditary foes, the Lat
ins, and on the other the equally ra
cially hostile Slavs. In Austro-Hun
gary he has millions of his fellow
countrymen, the objects now of Czech
animosity. "Every time there is a
street riot between Czech and German
in Prague, or a scuffle between Dane
and Prussian In Holstein, or Pole and
Prussian in Posen, it makes clearer to
his mind that Germany's ultimate re
source may turn out to be her kinship
with the Anglo-Saxon peoples." "The
emperor," he writes, "is informed
and far-seeing enough to have a
much clearer perception of America's
stupendous future than exists else
where." The millions of our citizens
of German birth or ancestry deserve
more authentic statements of German
opinion than our foreign news service
has given them.

Wallace Barker came down from Aitkin
county to attend the convention. Wallace has
been engaged in farming up in the new coun
try in the northern part of the state, and he
has had some experiences, including the dis
agreeable one of loßing some |6,000 to the
weather prophet. He was not telling his ex
periences as any part of a hard luck story,
but he did tell a hard luck story on a neigh
bor of his.
"You see," said Mr. Barker, "he picked
out a beautiful site for a farm, right on the
bank of a river. He lost his crops for three
years in a row on account of the high water,
but this spring It came to a finish. Why'
the water got so high that the cattish spawned
on his cabbage plants."
An outdoor demonstration by the Socialist
Labor rarty was to have been held last even
ing at Seventh and Cedar streets, but some
thing happened tcr the oYator of the occasion,
a quack medicine lecturer stole the audience
and a small boy purloined the party's drum
for Fourth of Jsly purposes. Consequently
there was no meeting.
The speaker who did not speak is A. H.
Lee, of Minneapolis, who was to dissertate
on the wrongs of labor and the crimes of
capital. He promised to appear promptly
when the clock in the city hull tower stiuck
eight bells. At that time there were five
Socialist^, b y actual count, waiting for him
at the trysting place.. On the opposite corr.er
was a wagon with an enormous flambeau. A
ruddy-faced man occupied the wagon and
when he had lighted his torches he began a
lecture on the perishability of hair and the
powers of his nostrums to restore it. The
waiting Socialists saw a crowd gradually
draw around the qua-ek and listen eagerly to
his old familiar patter, and they became im
patient because their orator did not come.
The quack waxed more eloquent a3 tho time
passed and his audience grew and the So
cialists envied him his crowd. Then a happy
thought struck - James Flynn, who had
brought his drum to make musi : for the
Socialists. He wou:d beat his drum and draw
the crowd from the quack and thus get an
audience for himself and his compatriots.
But when he looked for his drum he could
not find it, and upon inquiry he learned that
a boy was seen running down the s reat wi h
a drum a few minutes before. Fiynn imme
diately hunted up a policeman, who c.une and
looked carefully at the spot where the drum
was, but could not snteil a clue. He went
away promising to report the case to Mayor
Kiefer.
The five Socialists wAittd pa'iently another
hour, but no one .else, joined their ranks, ex
cept a small dos or no breed in particular.
The quack talked on various subjects uatil
his audience got lired ; df his ietture and d s- t
persed. Then he" turned out his gas and
went away. Still the 'Socialists waited, in
the hope that Lector ebineone e!s? would turn
up and explain "nuitrefs, but no one came
and about 10 o'clock t'.;ey turned sadly into
a neighboring refresrrment dlsp nsary and
wetted down their disappointment.
They will make an dlTort to hold a meet
ing on the same ' corn'oV next Saturday night,
and will start it beijoj-e the hair restorer
gets there. MeaV.whllp^ they will try to re
cover the drum,',
DKAMATIC AND MUSICAL
GRAND.
The Neill stock company might !;ettor have
forescne the change cf bill that was made
yesterday, and completed the week without
the two performances of "Capt. Swift " t : a*,
were given. The com; any, as a whole, add'jd
r.othing to its reputition by the performance.
It was uneven, ragged at times, and was in
no sense what was ts be expected fr.m the
previous work of the company.
The play is a favorite here, and the audience
of last night was very large for tho test &qr
of the week. The people were distinctly dis
appointed, and the players themselves felt
that they were out of touch. It dragged, the
lines were badly read and even the setting
of the Btage in the second act lacked that
precise adaptation to the ecene to be treated
that has come to be expected of Mr. Morris.
It is not cv e n in accord with the license that
Is ordinarily accorded to the Btage that a
largo and well-aged tree should be growing
out of the roof of a gentleman's country
house.
Miss Chapman cannot play Mrs. Seabrooke.
She is naturally lacking In the physical at
tributes of the role, and there was not the
slightest evidence of emotion In her reading
and acting. Miss Sc«f: was a distinctly d:s
ingenous Ingenue. Mr. Morris did net add
anything to his reputation by his make-up or
his work, for he is generally very capable,
which he waa not as Marshall.
Mr. Neill was an excellent Capt. Swift, and
it •waa altogether to be regretted that he had
to play with such generally bad support. The
work of Mr. Mayall was worthy of that of the
principal, and he looked and acted the part
of Gardner. Mr. Shackelford is too good an
actor to be badly oast in anything that the
Neill company is likely to play, and the somo
is true of Mr. Everham. The work of Miss
Maynard was commendably good in a more
conspicuous part than she is usually cast
for, and Miss Dolores was quite acceptable in
her work as Mabel Seabrooke.
LIND IS SILENT
No One Known What He lutcndn
tfM Do
OHICKAMAUGA, G-a.. July 2.— The nom
ination of W. H. Eustis for governor of Min
nesota by the Republicans wa>3 known to
Quartermaster Lind, of the Twelfth Minne
sota, Thursday night. When seen yesterday
the quartermaster was as sphlnxlike as .jver
and very little information could be obtained
from him. Up to the present time Quart r- ;
master Lind 'has not been officially n.tifhd
of his nomination for governor, and will n, i
theT say whether he will accept or refuse the
nomination. When asked what effect the
nomination of W. H. Eustis would have on
his candidacy he replied:
"Any action whatever that the Republicans
mig>ht take will have no effect on me."
Quartermaster Lind said that he received
a dispatch from a Minnesota paper asking
him if he would run against Eustis. The
quartermaster replied by wire that any action
of the Republicans woul-d have ns effect on
him.
The men in the camp of the Minnesota regi
ment are in as mu-ch ignorance of Mr. Lind's
intention as are the people of Minnesota. He
simply does not talk. Several adepts in tha
art of pumping have practiced on the quar
termaster, but without result.
Ghapl&in Clemens was asked if he had
heard Mr. Lind express himself, and he s-aid:
"Express himself! Why, ha 3 anybody
heard him express himself?" end he laughed
long and hearty, ft is the impression here
that Quartermaster Lind will not speak until
he has been officially notified by the fusion
committee of his nomination.

break. It Is a sea that the winds stir Into
ripples or waves as they blow. Railway l'nes
and wagon roads pass througn it, almost lest
in the seemingly hmitless expanse of gre<-n.
Little towns with their church tpires and
empty wheat elevators break its monotony
here and there. It reacnos as far aa the
eye can see, without hill or tree or river to
intrude on the sameness. The picture is nr.e,
that cannot be seen elsewiiere, and never
has been seen in such glory even fcera In
all the years that the Red Kiver valley has
supplied the nation's bread baskot.
This Is wheat, and in the country of Nr.. 1
hard. Once in a while there will be a fIMJ
of flax, noticeable for its darker gr^en, cr a
close-cropped pasture, or a hay ntrld, but the
wheat is in the ascendancy. The farmer rests
himself till harvest time. He sits in t'aa
shad« of his barn and whittles, and whiK- he
whittles he watches the crinkles of the waving
fields as they bend and wave, and figures
what he will get to the acre and how h? will
find men enough to take care of It In tfce
few days that are permitted him for 'he
harvest. The Red River valley's crop never
waa so fine in promise as this year. Tho war
prices and the Loiter corner induced evprv
men to put into grain every acre he could
farm, and there are said to be not less than
15,000.000 acres in wheat alone in the three
states that produce the spring wheat of the
United States. That is an increase of 20 D^r
cent over the acreage of the biggest year on
record, when the farmers threshed almost
200,000,000 bushels, flooded the market, and
made themselves comfortable for the succeed
ing half decade of lean years. The crop out
look today is as good on the increased area
as It waa then on the smaller. That Is aa
far as one can now go in predicting a crop.
WOLSELEY'S WAY.
Treating the Soldiers Wlio Serve
Under Him.
From The Detroit Free Press.
On© of the neatest stories of how a mili
tary officer can do the right thing without
sacrifice of dignity is related of the man
who afterward became commander-in-chlef of
the English army. He was sitting in a high
toned 'taprocm of Dublin, where privates
were not permitted the privileges of the bar.
Two finely built men of a dragoon regiment,
wearing long service stripes, entered and
called for drinks, which were curtly refused
them. They turned without a word and were
retiring in good order.
"Halt!" came sharply from the efficer In
civillan'3 clothes. From shc-er forcp of habit
the soldiers obeyed and faced about.
"I can purchase what I want here, I sup
pose?" said the officer as he advanced to
the bar.
"Certainly, sir."
"Then serve these two gentlemen with
■what they want." and there was a pleasant
emphasis on the title, '"Gentlemen, will you
drink with me?"
"With pleasure, sir," and the happy com
pact was carried out. Then the dragoons
courteously inquired the name of the gentle
man who had ihrown out the life line, as
it were.
' 'My name is Wolsnley — Colonel Wo'so
ley," with a smile.
Two pairs of heels went together with a
click, two brawny arms wont up- in salute,
and the soldiers departed amid the applause
of all who had witnessed the scene. There
was an officer who looked after the rank and
file, and now lie is In command of all of
them.
The Warden's Dilemma,
From Farm Implements.
The predicament in which the warden of
the Minnesota slate penitentiary at present
finds himself is by no means agreeable. He
is beset by difficulties on every side. He ha 3
probably devoutly wished a thousand times
during tho past thirty days that the project
of establishing a twine factory at Sti'hvater
had never eiKeied the hesd of Ignatius Don
nelly, and as devoutly cailcd down curses on
the sage's head for developing a scheme so
prolific in trouble. If this is no* the case, he
differs greatly from the average man. and
de-serves better of fate than the position of
warden of the state prison. » * •
By just what law, ex.-ept that of coercion,
the warden expects to qualify a contract al
ready entered into, Is not exactly clear. The
letter itself is a threat to blacklist all who
refuse to follow the dictates of the prison
management, and brings the operation of the
Minnesota state prison twine factory entirely
within the scheme of government paternal
ism, a favorite theme of our Populistic
friends. About onn-ra'f of th' dealer's orders
for prison twine have already been filled, and
in a majority of cases this twine has already
been sold. In some instances two dealers in
the same city have ordered twine, one order
having been filled and the other not. The
pricon management cannot expect that in
such ease? tho dealer who has sold cut will
rebate to the farmer any part of the purchtss
price of twine already enld, and probably
does not expect it. Neither can they ex
pect to dictate to any dealer whose twine has
already been delivered, the price at which he
shall dispose of what has become his piop
erty. The most that the present course of
the prison can accomplish, is to obligo tho;e
dealers who have delayed longest in order iir
shipments, to sign an agreement which would
be found not binding In law, and the sig
natures would be furr.l-hed under stress.
The attempt to modify a contract after
same has been entered into will undoubtedly
be productive of legal entanglements, acd
may result in a thorough investigation
of the methods and conditions of this much
discussed establishment. The course of the
prison management hes re-uVed in antagoniz
ing the fiii-Tiiing clement, the twine dealers
and the business community gene-ally. This
may have the pfffot of modifying in some
degree (.he law under which the state priron
twina factory is operate!. Should t": 13 be the
case, the ludicrous course of the prison
board and the pitiful dilemma of the warden
may result to the lasting benefit of the state
at largo.

"COWBOYS" OF ARIZONA
THE FIRST TO SHED THEIE
BLOOD ON CUBAN SOIL
Something; of the Characteristics
of Maj. Steve Brodle and Capt
McClintoclc, of Roosevelt's Rongrh
Itldcrs, Who Were Wounded at
La Quasina, the Dattle Near Sun-
tiugro de Cuba,
It is notable that the rough riders
from the ranches and deserts and min
ing camps of Arizona, that Cinderella
in the family of the states kept in the
territorial kitchen by her haughty sis
ters, should be the first to meet the
enemy In battle and consecrate Cuban
soil to freedom with their blood.
Those who knew them felt sure that
they would show the same dashing
courage in' any tilt with the Spaniard
that they showed in their encounters
•with the Apaches or the more dan
gerous bands of marauders that were
the terror of the plains for years.
There are many interesting men in
Roosevelt's regiment of rough riders,
and the names of many of them are
associated with Indian warfare in the
Southwest or in the laterday task of
ferreting out 'the desperate gangs op
erating in Arizona and New Mexico.
Some of the men who are now march
ing on Santiago de Cuba, under com
mand of Col. Wood and Lieut. 001.
Roosevelt, a year ago were riding night
and day in pursuit of Jim Parker, a
noted desiperado, who escaped from
the county jail at Presoott, Ariz., after
shooting the county attorney and
wounding several other officials; some
of them were members of the posse
which followed Black Jack's gang af
ter th-e successful hold-up of the Santa
Fe express at Grant, Ariz., on the
night of April 8, and among the Ari
zona cowboys many of them did not
experience being under fire for the
first time when the Spaniards took
them by surprise last Friday morning
in Cuba.
There was a gathering of these cow
boys at the Crown Point gold mine
in the Castle Creek mining district of
Arizona the first part of April when I
visited the camp. The "rodeo" had
Just begun, but the cowboys had
thrown up their places on the ranges
to join Maj. Brodte's "cowboy" regi
ment which he was then recruiting.
Maj. Brodie was picking his men from
the ranges, and he had gathered about
him a large number of the most fear
less figtoters in Central Arizona. A
declaration of war was expected at
any time, and the boys were impa
iently waiting for it to come. Maj.
Brodie hurried off to Prescott the day
I arrived to g&t the latest news from
Washingtonj and the cowboys scat
tered out to help on the rodeo the rest
of the day and until the major could
arrive with the news. The office at
the camp contained a list which in
cluded the best known cow-punchers
in the neighborhood, and men were
coming from distant ranges to offer
thojr services in the cause of Cuba.
The news spread over the territory
that Maj. Brodie was "getting up" a
cowboy regiment, and the Crown Point
mining camp had become a rendezvous
for the cowboys for miles about the
camp. They all knew Maj. Brodie, and
they were anxious to get with him
to the front. The cowboys have the
greatest respect for a man who has
shown himself to be a fearless fighter,
and Maj. Brodie's great record in many
Apache raids in Arizona had endeared
him to all of them. Among all the
cowboys I met I doubt if there was
one of them more anxious to go to war
than was the major himself. He had
spent a year developing the Crown
Point mine, and he had blocked out an
immense body of ore. The working
shaft had attained a depth of 300 feet,
and in the last twenty feet of work a
rich strike had been made. Ore run
ning as high as $1,000 to the ton of free
gold had been encountered, an-d drifts
on the vein which carried the new dis
covery had revealed an indication of
permanency which would have ban
ished all thoughts of war from the
minds of most men. But Maj. Brodie
ordered the pumps pulled out of the
shaft, discharged his miners, and held
himself ready to leave for Whipple
barracks with his men as soon as the
word should come. And it was this
enthusiasm and energy shown by Maj.
Brodie which gave Arizona the honor
of having the first volunteer regiment
in readiness to move to Tampa, The
Crown Point could wait to be relieved
of its burden of wealth until Maj. Bro
die and his band of brave cowboys had
done their share toward relieving the
suffering of Cuba. And today the mine
is dark, and it will so remain until the
war is ended.
In stature, MaJ. Brodle is a good type
of the Indian fighter of the Southwest.
He is a man of medium size with broad
shoulders and a bearing decidedly mil
itary. Although he has reached his
fiftieth year, he is still straight shoul
dered and as full of vigor and fight as
a younp man of twenty years. He fre
quently made the ride from Crown
Point mine to Prescott, a distance of
forty-five miles, in the saddle, and he
Is known among the cowboys as a good
rider. Maj. Brodie lives in Prescott,
where he has a comfortable home. His
wife was Miss Van Buren, of New
York, the daughter of a wealthy citizen
of that city.
Capt. J. H. McCliwtock, of Phoenix,
Ariz., who was serious'y injured in the
battle near Santiago de Cuba, is one of
the best known newspaper men of Ari
zona. Besides being the correspondent
at Phoenix for the Associated Press, ha
had a number of the best papers in the
country for which he furnished news
from the Southwest. He was secretary
of the board of regents of the territorial
normal school, which he resigned to
take a com>mission as captain of a com
peny of the cowboy regiment. He is a
large man, of athletic build and a good
horseman. Capt. MoClintock is about
thirty-five years of age.
Capt. W. O. O'Neill, of the rough rid
ers, who jumped from the pier, last
week, into the sea after two men who
bad fallen between a lighter and the
pier, has a record for daring which
twice marie him sheriff of Yavapai
county, Ariz. He was the candidate of
the People's party for delegate to con
press in 1596, and was defeated by Mark
Smith. He, last year, was elected
mayor of Pres-cntt on a platform which
advocated the adoption of Henry
George's staple tax theory. In Arizona
Capt. O'Neill is known as "Bucky"
O'Neill, and the Buckeye canal, an en
terprise which he promoted, is named
after him. He made a large sum dur
ing the past few years In mining, and
is one of the most successful promo
ters of mining interests in the South
west. His lattst success was the Grand
Canyon copper mln?s, which he brought
to the attention of Lombard, Goode &
Co., of Chicago, and he successfully
negotiated the sale of all the mines in
the Grand Canyon dis-trlct. Capt.
O'Neill is building two large business
blocks in Phoenix, the work on them
being now under the supervision of
Mrs. O'Neill, wife of the captain. Capt.
O'Neill is about forty yeats of age and
is a man of Strong build. He Is a
brilliant orator and a writer of con
siderable ability.

with unshaken fortitude, replied:
"The battle of Manila, killed me, but I
would do it again if necessary."
Twenty-four hours before death emu d he
lapsed into unconsciousness, after sending
loving messages to his wife and children.

NEW YORK. July 2.— A special to the
Commercial Adver;iser from Washington S2ys
President McKinley told a c;l!er at the Wh te
house yesterday that Porto Rico would be
ours within three weeks" time. From this It
is believe that operations thert> are to be
carried on with even gnater speed than has
marked the Santiago campaign.
Maj. Gen. Brooke, in command of the first
army corps at Chickamauga, has bean sel'c
ed as governor general of the island and will
have this expedition under his immediate
control.
He has received orders to have his entire
corps of 30/00 men ready to move in ten
days. Gen. Brooke is considered to be one
of the host men in the army for this expe
dition, as he is said to be a thorough disci
plinarian, patient and courageous.
Maj. Gen. James H. Wilson and Brig. G?n.
Guy V. Henry will accompany Gen. Brooke as

FOREIGNERS ARE SAFE.
No Pretext fo* the LandinK of «c*

NEW YORK, July 2— A dispatch from
Hong Kong, Fays: Conditions at Manila, ac
cording to latest advices, remain substan
tially unchanged. The insurgents have in
vested the city pretty completely on the land,
ftard side, and Admiral Dewey securely l>ol J i
the bay. Between the two beleagueriLg
forces, a satisfactory understanding seems
to exist, so that there will be no attempt at
occupation of the city by the insurgents un'il
Admiral Dewey glvß6 the word, and that will
not be until the first detachment of Gen.
Merritt's army arrives and is landed and can
march into the city, to take control of It,
and safeguard the life and property.
The foreign residents are somewhat panic
stricken at the close approach of the insur
gents, but there Is no reason to apprehend
any emergency that will call for or justify
the landing of marines frcm the foreign war
ships for the protection of the city.
