We were very much pleased willi
the only editorial in the last issue
of the Lancaster Enterprise. We
wrote it. j

The new nrmy uniform is to be
of u color entirely new to the mil
itary service of tliis country or.j
Europe. The report of the Army !
Uniform Board, now before the
secretary of war, recommends
that the uniform of the soldier be
made of a color known officially
as ''olive drab." It is not quite a |
brown, nor is it. a green, but a
mixture of brown ami green,
known commonly as "olive mix."

There is to be a test of wits bo- '
tween tho nowspaper press and 1
the military and naval forces of f
the United States during the progress
of the war game to be played (
by tho army and the navy in Aug- '
ust and Soptember in the vicinity
of the Long Island approaches to J
Now York City. It is Secretary 1
Moody's idea to give the news* '
paper men assigned to cover the J
game all the facilities which they
possessed in the West Indies dur- \
ing the war with Spain. He wants 1
the reporters to use every endeavor J
to ascertain all they can about the 1
secret strategic plans of the oppos* 1
ing military and naval forces, jnst 1
to see how well the officers on- '
gaged in the manoeuvres will be '
able to circumvent the press in 1
this connection.

The Brigham Young Reunion.
The most interesting convention (
of nil that will take place this ]
senson will be that of the .
widows and children of Brigham ]
Young. The family will meet in Salt ,
Lake City, and ns that beautiful ; ,
place contains no building large 1 |
enough to a commodate the multi- ! ,
tude, tho convention will beheld in j
the open air under tho blue vault
of heaven, encompassed by green r
trees nnd enlivened by the songs t
of birds. j (
The convention, it is ktntorl wilt 1
bo composed of more Hum 1,100 ,
delegates. Of course all of these v
nro not widows; some of them are p
orphans. Mr. Young, the great v
iiusUnndmnn, went to his rest j
nearly twenty-five years ago, and t
multitudes of his widows have r
now been gathered to their lms- (
bund in the realm beyond the stars. ,
Indeed, the fast-thinning ranks of t
Mr. Young's widows is a constant j
femiiider to us of tho transitory F
nature of our existence in this vale \
01 misery and how fiail and un- t
certain our own condition is. (
Brigham Young has been made |
n subject of derision by many Hip- '
pant and thoughtless people. But, (
ill point of fact, he was a wise i
man. The wisest of all men had
the marrying habit of an even
more pronounced typo than Mr. 1
Young, and he did not take the i
same precautions. It will be re- 1
merabered that Brighnm's wivoB,
or most of them, were only soaled I
to him "for time*." lie took the <
precaution to have them sealed to '
iosopli Smith "for eternity " lie
knew that hy ndroitly playing one
wife aguin-t nm.tlier, upon tin* j
theory of competition, lie could]
*et along with the partners of his
joys and sorrows for a season. I5u'
lie was not altogether certain of
the conditions which w mid con
frt lit liini in the sweet b" and hy,
ind lie took pains to provide for
liis entry into that blessed estate
free from contractual obligations, j
His predecessor, JoBeph Smith,
will have to bear that burden.

Gen. Leo on Cubi's Prospects.
The Washington Times a few
lays ago published the following
interview with (lenernl Kily.limrli .
Lee, forimuly consul general nt j
Havana and later in command of i
tlud military division of the island.
jji the prospects of the Unban republic.
Cenend Lee said:
"I mi less confidence can soon be j
stablisbod in the stability <f the |
Cuban government and relief nf '
forded by the United Stales in the
matter of the sale of Unban prod- i i
nets, there will be nothing ahead
but anarchy and annexation. And
anarchy means the interfejenco of',
the United Stati c: and the hoisting
nf our Hag to remain over the
island.
"There is no direct taxation in
the island," continued (on. Lee.
"All tin? revenues are derived from
ustoms receipts. During the oe upaney
of the island by the
American forces the revenue re
eipts were very large, but since
the withdrawal of American an
Ihority the customs receipts have
hvindlcd perceptibly. Ameriean i
merchants, it. seems, have little if i
uiy confidence in the new republic.
They arc afraid to ship their
?oods into Cuban ports, and it is
ihis as much as anything else thai .
makes Iho futuro of the Cuban
,'ovi'niiin'iit look ho black. Our
merchants are not willing to risk
tending goods to Cuban merchants
ivhoti domestic troubles may break
rut at any moment and the goods ;
be seized by a mob.
'"There is a murmur of diseon- :
lent among the negroes in the ,
island. The negroes, perhaps, |
linve some justification for this i
complaint against the new republic,
riiey claim not to have been 1'
[rented fairly by those in authority
iit the distribution of spoils
Maceo, the negro, was one of the
rery best of Cuban generals and
endured effective service in the
.var for Cuban independence, and j
recording to all accounts Maceo
ind his followers have been ignored
by the Cuban government." i
I
Education and the Editor.
i
In a brilliant speech at the Ath?nr-,Ga.,
Conference for Education,
Hon. Ilenry St. George Tucker '
laid a plowing tribute to the press. '
lie said that when the record was i
nude up on educational advance- '
nenl in the South, tho work done '
ly the press onld probably be i
,'oted as the most effective, with i
he country newspaper at the top. ?
We believe this is a just tribut^ <
The press does a far nobler work ; '
hun is usually attributed to it , i
iiid if the pockets of the country I
alitor wore as well tilled with i
noney nR his paper is with good I
voids for good measures, he would I
loon be in easy tiuancial circuni- I
itancei. And the Southern press
s pushing the cause of public ed- j '
icaiion as in'vi'r ueiore. Tliere 1
iro many papers that never men- !
ion the subject, but there are '
nnny more that preneh the troupe I !
?f education in no uncertain way.
Moreover, they notice the local 1
ichools and have a good word for 1
hom whenever possible. No great- ;}
w cause could engage tho thought i '
if the press and people Ihnn the!'
letter education of the children. 1
These matters neod to bo moved '
svery where and the press can start (
he movement and koep it goir.g. '

maty flatirons as clean and smooth

When the irons are hot, rub them i

A Chaige Against the Constabulary.
In tlie State campaign meeting''
leld at Newberry Mr. Stevenson. j
nndidito for attorney general j
barged that tho dispensary coil- '
Inblos are working for his oppo- ;
[lout, lie is (juo'.ed as saying:
'"Chief Constablo Batemnn is organizing
men to vote for Hunter.
\re wo paying the constabulary
s >0,000 for this? 1 have an allidavit
>f a person so approached, nnd 1 call |
upon the governor of South Caro- j
linn to explain this important matter
if it is done, with or without
11is knowledge and consent."
Governor McSweeney says that
if Mr. Bait man or any other State
constable is taking any active part
in this campaign it is absolutely'
against his wishes nnd orders. The
eonstahhs, of eouise, have a light
to vote, but ho wishes it distinctly !
understood that they cannot take
an active part in politics, because
( /1 ill i l'i i nioniio ? iiiiirliw.l t !?..
*w ow I.o .. ."HKLI ?>i llir
woik which they are paid to do.
!f any State constable is oflicioua
or active in politics and is thereby,
as must necessarily follow, neglecting
his work and the fact is reported
to Governor McSweeney by
any rt sponsiblo citizen it will be
but a short matter to end the incident
by promptly removing the '
constable.
Governor McSweeney declared
on the stump iu bis lust campaign
that lie had issued p< sitive instructions
against any constables taking
part iu the campaign, and that he
iiad issued an order that they were j
not to attend the meetings, because'
they could not do their work there. '
and the same mle holds good now.
Governor McSweeney savs it is
absolutely impossible for hi:n to j
Keep up with each a lit! every of- 1
fieer of the Stale, hut that lie
would consider it a favor if constables
who are neglecting their
work to dabble in politics are
formally reported to him. He
knows nothing further about this \
particular case than is reported in
the proceedings of the meeting.
Small Salaries and Honesty.
We clip the following from the '
Saturday Blade of Chicago: Judge 1
Edward F. Dunne, of the criminal (
court (if Chicago, has recently (
rendered a decision that is of interest
to every business man in
the country. It was the case of
ll.? W7? ' * "T
i uu ui.uc vcihU.1 III. VT. >> 1*81, j
tin employe of the pneking house ' ,
i)f Nelson. Morris <V Co., who wns \
ahnrgod by that company with t
embezzlement. j 1
Wos*, a young married man
about 30 years of ago, who was j
living with and supporting a wife .
and two children, had charge of a
meat car for the tirui, and each
week loaded the car in Chicago
and then look it to Aurora, making
3ix or eight stops at small towns '
along the way to make deliveries!
to small dealers. West collected
the money for all his deliveries
and twice a week made a written
report and turned in his money,
amounting fonietimes to as high
is ?ii,uuu. r'or doing nil this work,
incl occupying n position of trust
in which thousands of dollars <
passed through his hands, he was '
paid $15 per week. The toinpany *
lint employed him pushed the |
prosecution and wauto 1 him sent i
!o the penitentiary, but Judge ]
Dunne found him guilty <>f embezzling
only $15, thus saving him
from the penitentiary, and sentenced
him to serve thirty days
in jail. <
In rendering his decision Judge 1
Dnnno told the employers of West
that when they asked n man to
lake such a responsible position nt ! (
such a small salary and where he j
ivas called on in the performance
jf his duty to collect such large
amounts of money, knowing that |
je has a wife and two children to ,
;nre for, "you are simply inviting j
tiim to commit crime, or at least <
exposing him to temptation, and
it is wrong."
Tue judge said he believed W est,
Lhe prisoner, to be a good man,
uul that lia 1 his salary been even '
is much as $5 more per week he [
would never have been exposed to
temptnticn. "If be had been paid |
525 a week as he should have been I

lecision of Judge Dunne is well
worth serious consideration by nil
who give employment to others.
