ihe above circular Bhonldconvince j
every republican that there is need of
eternal vigilance to keep in subjection
the machinations of the democratic
party and every republican shouid be
full of enthusiasm and work hard for
success and destroy the hope of democ
racy in this congressional district. It
has now come to the point when there
are no apathetic or disinterested repub
licans, for every member of the party
has imbibed enthueiasm from the dem
ocratic system of circulating malevolent
falsehood and abuse of Binger Hermann
and are like the red-headed Irishman
who joined a company of Teddy's Rough
Riders which was organized in New
Jtiexico. fat was not up on orders or
bugle calls; he knew nothing but to
fight at fighting time and when the first
charge was made up San Juan hill to j
the Spanish trenches, Pat rushed in ad
vance of the company and grasped a
Spaniard by the hair of his head and
pulled him out and dragged him down
hill to the lines and yelled out, "Boys,
why didn't ye come along and each fel
low would have got one." The republi
cans of the First Congressional District
will next Monday charge the Democratic
'etrsabold -and every man will get a
man to vote for Binger Hermann.
But when we contemplate the woeful
expression on the democratic mule's
face as the tears roll down in a river to
the ground, at the deseciation of Dec
oration Day by talking politics, we feel
that again are we up against democratic
perfidy and hypocrisy, and as the drops
of blood from the eyes of that commit
tee turn into a swelling flood of grief, we

"Within rixty miles of I.a (Suayra, in
the Rio Chico district, a battle timk
place recently in which the govern
ment lost over a thousand men, and
about 300 wounded were brought back
to La Gnayra after a two days' fight."
"Pee, mother, I have set myself on
fire and I intend to burn up," and
with these words still on her lips and
her clothing furiously burning, Annie
Johnson, 23 years old, of St. Joseph,

laughing and screaming in demoniac

in great agony. The young woman ap

More than 22 ier cent of the men cn
lieted in tho army for the war with
Spain have already applied for pen
sions. Commissioner Waro says the
showing is unpleasant, and he blames
the pension attorneys for it. Ho de
clares that very few of the men who
applied saw any actual fighting, and
that a smaller poition of the few volun
teer regiments which saw hard service
in the Philippines have sent in applica
tions than in the regiments which never
left the instruction camps. The appli
cants under the head of "invalids" num
ber 67,040, and '"widows and depend
ents," 8,390. There have been allowed
9881 invalid pensions and 31(50 of the
other class. A total of 18,185 claims
have been rejected, leaving 34,210 land
ing on May 1. New applications nro
coming in daily by the hundreds, and
the indications aro that nearly 50 per
cent of the men enrolled on the army
lists during the war with Spain will
have applied for pensions by tho end of
the year. At tho closo of 1872, eleven
yearB after the beginning of the civil
war, and rcven years after its close, only
about 0 per cent of tho soU'iers who
served in tho Union nrmy had filed
claims for pensions.
