From our Regular Correspondent Another ugly Hfnndal has creppfd rip uniler tbn rule of the War DHpartmnt, which cannot faif to add to I h e wnve of public npntiment dii ly liecominir higher and Rtron Kcr,' that will sweep the re publican party, wijh it rec ord of scandal, out of pow er. This particular scandal wuh uncovered qniln liy acei lent and . itn fxisteme was not denii'd by Secretary Hoot who iH reHpoimihlH for it con linua'-e, alflnuh it was oril inatfd.'oy Aler. It i, to npeak plainly, th rohhery of tiie Cubans, for the benefit of theofhVers of the U. S army. HintHof extrayngant livinp by American Officers in Cuba and of Ihi-h huiiib paid for th' ir expenscH, have been fre queut, but it was not until the last forty eiirhl hrurs that 'it became positively known that officers in the U S. urmy were in direct viola tion of law, drawing, two sal aries, one from the US. and from the Cuban revenues The ground upon which Sec retary Boot justifies this rob bery is worthy of a hystei lawyer but not of a nietnb i of the TT. S. Cabinet-That the money drawn from the Cuban revenues by these of ficers, is not a salary- from tne United Stales, andconse quently their 'receiving it is .Lot a violation of the law uohibiting two salaries. Mr loot goes even fnither than that. Ht'sa.vs this robbery was carefully considered and endorsed by Mr. Mckinley and his entil e Cabinet before it was started, and that he int'nds to increase the num ber of officers who are allow ed t o participate therein But he won't, unless romi nent Kepnblican Senators who have expressed surprise and regret at the scandal chanire their minds. T h e Senate has adopted a resolu lion, calling for all the facts Experience d"esn't nlvva-s teach. Notwithstanding, th awful exfierience of our sol diers in the war with Spain thousands o f whom were made siek and unfit for duty by eating tbe so-called ennn ed roast beef, the: War De partment has ordered a big lot of the stuff sent to the Philippines for the use of our soldiers over there. Genera Miles is as much opposed to this meat as he was during the war with Spaiu, and th War Department acted with out consulting him. Representative Livingston one of the most leyd-heade democrats in the House.says the Republican leaders hav determined to jam the nhip subsidy job through at this session of Congress. Speak ing of this deal, lr. Living s tori said: "1 know that conference of Republican leaf ers was held, at which it was determined to push the ship bounty scheme at all hazards I also know that the, next dav. Pacific Mad, which may fan ly be considered the bar omefer of the scheme, shot lip nearly four points on the Ne at York Rtock exchange. The man who can't plainly discern a chain of cause and effect in this, is indeed blind. Obviously, somebody who attended t hat Conference ommunieated v to the men who control the market for acific Mail securities, the news that the Ship Subsidy hill would be . brouftht for ward and rushed through at his session, uuder the pnrty ash..- It would not surprise nie if a upecial rule for its con siderition and passage should be prescribed by the prescribed by the Speaker's Committeee. Such a rule, it may be confidently expected, will limit debate almost to the vunishing point. Indeed, it may be that all debate will ie cut off on the bill in the louse. I believe they are waiting for a time when an unusual number ot- demo crats are absmt from the louse, to force the bill for waid for a neede i considera ion. I am informed mat a l A ft. arge part of their campaign und depends upon its pass age. I nemo re, it behooves us. democrats to keep our eyes peeled for the ship sub sidv scheme. Every mother's son of us ought trfstuj right here in Washington until the es'sion clobes and keen sharp lookout for the Han- na Payne bill." It was an Ohio man, John Sherman, who originated the hrase which has since be come so wide used: "I'm go ing home to look alter my paces." Mr. McKinle.t , who is in Ohio, this week, said be-1 fore leaving Washington, that he was going to ''look after repairs to my house," which is a slight deviation from Sherman's words, but means the same thing to the initiated. It was not a mere coincidence that the repaiis upon Mr, Mckinley's house, at Canton, should require his personal attention dur ing the same week in which the Republican State Conven tion will be held at Colum bus. , Senator Wellington has for mally left the Hanna McKin ley party, and made this an nouncement: "I whs oppos ed to the permanent acquisi tion of the Philippines, and to the 15 per cent, duty on Porto Rico imports to the United States. This beingi my position, I do not intend to support a platform that is against my convictions in such important particulars. I do not intend to remain a Republican member of the Republican National Com mittee, ncr to attend theNa tional Convention." There are numerous prominent Re publicans in both branches of Congress who believe just as Senator Wellington does, but whet lit r any of them will show that they have the courage of their convictions by following his example, re mains to lie seen.

This will be news to most persons, who had always supposed that a dbg was simply a dog. It has been bruited about that the dog was the best friend -to man among the bpute creation. When you notice how af fectionately the dog clings to the stronger that knocks at your door you can teadily believe this. He pants after the thief. When once he gets hold of the thief's pants, he makes breaches. The dog leaves off his own pants during cold weather. A barking dog never bites; that is to say, when he b? gins to bite heslopsbarking. Conversely, a biting dog nev er barks, and for similar rea sons. The hair of a dog wilj cure his bite. This is a cure-ious superstition among hair brained young men who ure fast going to the dogs. Dogs nie dentists by profes sion. ' They insert teeth with out charge. The dog never barksexeept ing when he is awake. The dog is always awake. The dog has no other way to express his joy than, to bark. He always feels joy when he sees a man. When there is no other man to see, he expresses his joy to the man in the moon. , The little dogs are also pleased, to see a man. They are verv numerous, and con stitute no small part of the population. As we remarked, the dog is. always awake. This is no tail though he car lies a tail in his wake. The sea dog loves his bark. Lid youjever see a dog that didn't? The dog's head U the place A1 he re the bark comes from. We asked a d'igand the dog said so. . The head of a dog ha a doghead look. The bark of a tree is unlike the bark of a dog. Even a dogwood knows this. Dogs are not always kind, though there are manj' kinds of d.igs. .EVery dog has his day al though dog da vs last but a few weeks in the year. There must be a Sirius er ror here. The dog's star is the dog's planet. They planet so' that their dayscorae while thestar is in the sky. They do not fear It. not a Skye terrier. When a dog enters a It is pitch ed battle he uses the dog's tar. There are a great fish' stories about The doggereel is not many dogs, a dog fish, however. Although a wail often fol lows it. Brutus said, "Fd rather be a dog and bay the moon than such a Roman.'' He had seen roamin' a round on the bay. ' . Thev never got over the bay. Sea? The Jews considered the dog unclean. ' !.;.. And yet the dog will lean out a crowd, no matter how dirty. . r , But the dog Spitz. A living dog is said to be better than a dead lion. There's no lying about this, but a dead dog is dog gone bad. . ... Tray was a good dog, but tres is worse than the deuce when it is against you. Dogs were the original Ar gonants. They have never giyen over their search for the fleas. The bulldog is a stubborn fellow He is not easily cow ed, Of course the gentler sex is the morestubbornofthetwo. You have heard of the dog ma. A great many storiesof the dog have obtained currency. The man who has left a pjrt of his clothing with the . clog has current.' See? Puppies are born blind, fhey are not see dogs then. There are many types of dog, including the doguerro tvue. , lhe dog has four legs, two of them fore legs. But perhaps we has better paws here. Howl this do for a dog NEGRO IN THE RICKbROUND. In Henderson, n city of 5,000 inhabitants at the Republi- canprimary held on Saturday not a single white man was present and all the delegates selected were negroes In Warren at the county convention the attendance was nearly one hundred and not a single white, man was pressnt. The negroes, how ever, in response to orders, elected two white men as delegates-to the state con vention. In Lenoir county of ninety present seventy were negroes. In Guilford the negroes o beyed orders and not one was present us delegate or alter nate" In Jonas' county three fourths of the delegates were negroes, but the negroes were told to take a back seat and white men were elected to the State convention. These are a few sample Re- nublican conventions. The revenue officers, who nbso lately" run the . Republican party in North Carolina, have had their doodles at work for more than a month traelliug about the State telling the negroes that they must take a back-seat in the State convention this yeana order to defeat the amend ment. "If you are prominent in the convention this year," is the argument used, "you will never get a chance to vote again. Take a back seat this year, and after we get in we will let you sit at the first table." That arg'i ment has had its effect in most-counties, and the negro is consenting to disfranchise ment in the Stateconvention this year in order to help de feat the amendment ar.d get pie next year. But the white folks are"on to" their scheme! "I used Kodoljtynpepsia cure in my family with wonderful re suits.

Clancy, a missionary at Allababud,' who is visiting his brother iq '. Medford, said last night: "The condition of the famine-stricken India today is. something perfectly awful to contemplate. I cannot tell anything about the number dying, but, when I left Bonv bay last February there were 60,000,000 people suffering from famine, and over 80, 000,000 were in dire distress, and of these but 5,000,000 were receiving government aid. "It is not the cities but the country places which are stricken and when you know that it is mostly among the agricultural classes and that 80 per cent, of the popula tion of India is made up of tillers of the soil, you maybe able to grasp in some slight manner the extent of the suf fering at the present time. "When the famine set in the people began to sell ev erything thej had that they might get a little grain for bod. They toon the doors rom their houses and sold them; sold theirfurnitureand arming utensils, and then when they had no longerany thing to sell they sold their children. The boys- don't soil well, and the traffic is laigely in gir4s. 'I saw girls in one town just before lea me a way being sold for 30 cents a piece. They were bought up by Moham medans. But they won't buy the boys, so when tbe parents can no longer support their children they abandon them and henceforth they must get' on as best they can. These cast-offs congregate a bout the doors of the grain merchants shops, and tbe only way the proprietorscan get. rid of them is to throw out handful of grain, scat tering it wide. The children pick and pick all day and at night perhaps are awarded by having collected a single handful. Little Brother (bedtime) "Why don't you take your stockings off?"
