BARTOW MAN POSES JUST NOW AS
A PESSIMIST.
PRESENT SITUATION TROUBLES HIM
Though It I* Springtime, Wllllein Seea Mo
Clii er In Cental Sunshine nml
Smiling Mature.
Bonus nielior optimus?good, better,
best. Malus pejor pessimus?bad
worse, worst. T remember that much
Latin. Sonio days wo are optimists
and look on the bright side nnd think
tho war is about over nnd tho milleni
11 ill win oegill wiui me new ceuiiuy.
Tlien again the news is bad,wo are obliged
to be pessimists until it'changes.
I am a pessimist right now, for everything
looks dark niul gloomy abroad,
though the g< nisi spring snn is shining
and evetything is lovely at home.
What is all this about one hundred
thousand more nieu wanted to subdue
the Filipinos and our soldiers snying
they did not eulist to tight negroes;
and what about the Samoaus
ambushing our hoys and cutting their
heads off and parading them through
the streets; and what about a rupture
with Germany while our navy is all
engaged over therein those fur distant
islands? If Germany is fighting mad
what better opportunity does she want
than to turn her navy loose upon us
right now, nnd how do we know that
Johnny Hull would help us?
And then again there seems to he
no real peace in Porto Rico, for one
of their late papers suys, "We observe
with sorrow that the Uuited States
troops are a mass of base and shameless
people, a drunken multitude who daily
buffet and ninltreat our suffering people.
They rob our servants as they
go to market; they enter our restaurants
ami tnke what they want by force nnd
men ureas up rue rrocKery; nicy run
the peddlers and refuse to pay llie
cabmen and steal everything in sight;
they insult our women like savages,
ami to complain to headquarters is
like harking ut the moon. If this is
our destiny, would that we could sink
this fair island in the depths of the
ou."
Another paper fays: "Our people
are daily insulted by these ru 111 a us,
and we have not the patience of Job
nor the meekness of the Man of Calvary
to hear these things without tetalia'ling."
Another paper says: "We suffered
much under the Spaniards, hut our
new lihcrntors are committing greater
offenses and oppressions than did our
Suruier and we cannot submit
quietly to this new tyinnny. Never
before has there occurred in Ponce such
outrages us are happening today.
Tin ro is safety nowhere, and our ladies
arc at all times exposed to the in
suits of drunken soldiers."
How is that for the American soldier;
the hrnve patriots whom we laud
in song and story? Nor do we have to
go to Porto Rico to find them. Only
a few days ago a New Jersey regiment
was mustered out at (ircenville, S. C.,
and immediately started their devilment,
and their journey homo was a
reign of terror. A negro writes to ino
and wants to know wherein the colored
troops were worse than the whites.
What is the matter with this generotinii
uliitu mi.1 liln<ik*> Wl.nt in tlm
mutter nt Putin, and wliy can't the two
races work together in peace? What
is the mutter nt Weathcrsford, Conn.,
ami why won't the white people there
let the negroes build n home for old
au invalid negroes? Carrie Steele, u
colored flood Samaritan, projected n
similar home for negro orphans in Atlunta
and the whites bade her godspeed
and subscribed liberally and
helped her, and it is doing good work
that is commended by ull our people.
Iluve thevankees forgotten what they
fought for, or pr# tended to tight us
for? And besides nil these things there
are more fires ami aw ful casualties and
drownings and suicides and murders
than ever before known in so brief a
time, and it is enough to make a hopeful
man almost despair of peace and
good will ever returning to this ufilicted
laud. This is why I am a pessimist
today, hut I live in hope and
maybe I will he an optimist next week.
Hope is u blessed thing. The first
composition I ever heard read in
school was written by n tull, freckledface,
red-headed girl and it was on
"Hope,and tho tlrst sentence was:
"Hope is a pood invention, and if it
were hot for hope man would die and
woman would pive up the ship." "Not
only so, lmt also," said Jiin Alexander,
und George Lester whispered a
part of his speech:
"Hope for a season hade the world fare,
well,
Anil Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko
fell."
And Rennely Jtutler quoted a line
from his speech: "Hope springs eternal
in the human breast." And I had
to lift up mv voice, of course, as I repeated:
" "i'wus ever thus In childhood's hour,
"iVe seen my fondest hopes decay."
\V? smart hoys had power of fun
over that red-headed composition, and
it is stiil a proverb among us that
"Ho, >e is a good invention." And sol
v,e will not utterly despair but live in
hope. 1 worked in the garden yester
day, for it was a blessed day. I have
been sick. My 1 nek ached and my
left kidney was on a boom and my legs
were on a strike and wouldn't carry
one with alacrity, but work in the
garden got iue all in a sweat of pers
pirutmn und I feel better. My wife
sai?l T would, and sho Imons. 4
baa got but two laws for int. One i.*, : I
( must woik tu the garden if 1 nut
well, and the other is i uiust be well.
The war doesn't bother ute while f ton
at work, hut I hoc und dig and ponder |
while f dig. I ant perplexed right
now about n veiy mysterious fmcc of
nature that ' do not understand. It
is the lilting pov.ci of lii\le tender
plants. |
I never have understood how it is
that the pea or a bean or a potato patch
or au okru seed ran etaek the cloddy' <
ground nnd lift the clods and pnit
them uinl find a way upward. Those
lttle lender shoots that will bend and
break at the touch can lii't a weight of
I ouuds, and I am satisfiid that there
s some mysterious force that helps f
diem do?some electric influence that i
nianates from the plant ? come dyna- J ,
uiic power. What fuuner has not I
wondered that a shooting grain of . *
corn could upheave aud rplit asuuder I ;
i clod that iie could hardly break with ' ]
his horny hands. Then, again, wliat j j
i preservative is onr mother earth,
flow Fnfely it keeps tho roots of vege- ]
ution from fiostsaml freezes and zero \
Id. We La i sixty-six rose bushes, ]
ill of ehoioc varieties, ami nave toKen j
i world of comfort hi their beautiful (
flowers, hut tliis last winter they were
nil killed -killed dead to the ground, ,
and J cut them down ami found no
sign of life. It made us all sad and I (
wrote about it, and a good mail, a ,
florist, of Chamberslmrg, Pa., Mr.
William It. Reed, read my letter, and j
surprised me by sending sixty-six new
p'ants of the" beRt varieties, and I
planted them carefully between tlio
dead ones and they are springing up
beautifully, and now, lo and behold,
the old ones are sending up strong and
vigorous shoots from mar the surfuce
and most of them are above the budded
joints. So if all of them live and
grow, there will be a wilderness of
roses, and we oa? take our choice. I
am ready to certify that Mr. Reed is a
great big-hearted man.
And now Mr. R. K. Robertson, of
Oiiiekaninuga, has sent me 300 strawberry
plants. Lady Thompson and
Louise and Gnndy varieties. All are
Hue, and the Gaudy are especially
wanted, for they are a very late variety
and bear bountifully after all other
kinds have passed away for the season.
I'll bet bo is n good man, too, nud my
wife makes it a rule to believe that
everybody is good who is good to us.
Sn ni?w 1??l llip war t?n riit Tt is none
of my doings. For n good while I was
in hones that McKinUy & Co., who let
slip tlio dogs of war for political purposes,
would see their mistake and
call off the dogs, but most of the
preachers tell them that it is Cod's
will aud manifest destiny and the
doors to the h<athcn must he opened
and bo kept open. And so we common
folks can't do anything. I heard
preachers talk that way for war thirtyseven
yenrs ago and we thought they
had the Uriin and Chummin in their
breeches jotkets, but thev dident.
One thing is certain, this war liasdone
the natiou no good morally or financially,
and it has lowered our resj eet
for the army and for military affairs in
general, and army beef in j articular.
When our boys once get out of it they
will be apt to stay out and if we have
to send 100,000 more trooj s to tight
niggers in the Philippines they will
not go from this part of the country?

Lid captured will be -evfl||mted and all
the launches will be reeSed to their

will be giveu back to the Jfmsonn from
whom Aguinaldo's soldiers took them.
After giving the opinion that 100,000
inon would bo required to subduq
these islands, General Lawton explained
the situation to the World'
correspondent as follows: >
"The diillculties in the way are
those of fighting guerrillas in a tropi-i
cal country. With my brigado I could
force my way from one end of the
island to the other if I did not have
tc hold the territory I traversed. But
leaving garrison behind would soon
eat up tho whole force."
General Lawton regretted exceedingly
being compelled to evacuate the
territory he hod captured.
Campaign Not a Failure.
At the war department it is stated
Monday that tho return of General
Lawton from his expedition does not
indicate tho failure of his campaign,
but that it is evident that he lias accomplished
all that he attempted?the
capture of the gunboats and the driving
the rebels out of Santa Cruz.
When he left Manila General Lawton
took rations for ten days only.

Saturday owing to tho warship's late

The Raleigh, accompanied by two
small vessels captured from the Spaniards
last summer and a fleet of about
twenty-five excursion steamers'and
tug boats, paraded from 'lWipkinsville
to Grant's tomb, and from there back
to anchorage tu the North river off
Twenty-fourth street.
It would havo been difficult to have
selected more inclement or disagreeable
weather than that which prevailed
all the time the Raleigh was passing in
review before the thousands of enthusiastic
people who lined the river banks
and gave their hearty cheers of welcome
home.
Great crowds assembled in Riverside
l'ark, overlooking the Hudson,
and men, women and children stood
there for hours under umbrellas
watching the vessels on their way up
the river and on their return. Far the
greatest gathering of people was in
the vicinity of Grant's tomb, which
was the turning point of the parade.
A national salute was fired there by
the Ruleigh, and also by the captured
Spanish prizes,and the scene was rendered
a memorable one by the shrieking
of n hundred steam whistles from
excursion boats and locomotives and
cheers from thousands of people on
shore and on the vessels in the river.

however, will be forever presevved ou

"No troops have won a greater reputation
for discipline, drill, manly
discharge of duty, soldierly conduct
and cheerful obedience to all orders.
"The president's assnrauce that bad
the war with Spain contined the
Seventh army corps would have been
selected to lead the assault on Havaua
lines proves that that corps possessed
the confldenoa of the commander-inchief-of
the army and navy, a confidence
shared by his fellow couutrymeu.
"It is gratifying, in reviewing the
careers of the corps to remember tho
harmony which has existed among the
40,000 soldier's who answorcd the roll
call at TAmpa, Jacksonville, Havaunah
and in Cuba, whether it were tho
volunteers who afterward, at various
times, broke ranks and resumed the
duties of citizenship, or the regulars,
whose standards, still flying, are now
the advance sentinels of (American
