NEW RULES OF DEBATE.
The conntry is indebted to the
press of the cultured east fur an
exposition of advanced methods
of political discussion developed
by superior refinement and civili-.
ration.
According to these exponents of
human progress, reasoning with
political opponents consists of a
free use of "ridicule, sarcasm and
billingsgate."
All arguments in favor of a pol
icy not approved by you should
be answered with abuse.
Any candidate for office who
advocates a cause not in perfect
conformity with yonr own inter-
ests and opinions should be brand-
ed as an anarchist.
Any party platform or declara-
tion v hich is not dictated by yon
or the superior persons you rep
resent is revolutionary and should
be denounced as such at once.
The way to answer a strong
plea in behalf of the interests and
rights of the people is to charge
the pleader with demagoglsm.
Whenever a candidate protests
against injustice or abuse in the
laws or the courts, denounce him
as a disturber who wants to over-
throw the sacred institutions of
government.
Lying is the finest weapon in
the armory of political debate.
When you have no other means
of answering an opponent lie about
him.
The etiquette of debate requires
that you exhaust the vocabulary
of contempt and vituperation in
referring to a public man who
does not advocate your views.
The most courteous terms are
fool, lunatic, kid, yawper, wind-
bag.
By careful attention to these
rules a political campaign may be
conducted on that high plane of
refinement and reason demanded
by a superior civilization.—Re-
public.
The dismissal of two cadets
from West Point for cruelly "haz
ing" a new comer and the presi-
dent's characterization of their
conduct as cowardly and dis
graceful, should l>e sufficient to
put a stop to this heartless ruffian
ism which so often manifests it
self among the students of that in-
stitution. Tbe outrageous impo-
sition so frequently inflicted npon
new cadets at the acaderav is a re-
proach to those who perpetrate i*
ar.d an insnlt to the institution it-
self. It is, as Mr. Cleveland forc-
ibly declares, "so opposed to
every trait that should character
iz« a gentlemen and a true soldier
that severe punishment shonld
not !»• necessary to its preven-
tion."

Philadelphia, August 11.—Ser-
geant Lorenso Guallaro, a Cuban,
who, for seventeen months has
seen active service in the revolu-
tionary army, arrived today in
Philadelphia.
Sergt. Guallaro was one of an
escort of ten men detailed to ae*
accompany Capt. Isadore Rodrigo
to this country, the captain tear-
ing secret dispatches to the Cu-
ban junta in New York. The
party had a perilous time in get-
ting away from the island, setting
out for San Domingo in a leaky
boat, without its complement of
ores, and with few provisions.
After describing the party's
perilous march to tbe coast and its
embarkation in the boat, Sergt.
Guallaro went on to say:
"On the fifth day the boat ship-
ped a big wave and capsized, and
we were all precipitated into the
sea. The boat turned over and
the whole nine of us clung to its
bottom and sides, expecting every
minute to be washed off. We
lashed ourselves to the oars and
to two wat«r casks and floated in
that way for two days, and owing
to the smoothness and warmth of
the water, not a man was lost. On
the third day, after the boat cap
sized, we sighted a sehnooLer,
which, in answer to our distress
signals, hove to and took us
aboard. We were landed at San
Domingo, where four of the nine
men forming the escort remairesl.
I, with four others, came Lere
with Capt. Rodrigo."
Continuing his narrative, Sergt.
Guallaro said: "I was spattered
with the life blood of Gen. Jose
Maceo. I was right at his side
when he fell at Loma del Gato; I
helped to carry him from the field
and also helped to bury his body
at Songo. We had won the bat-
tle of Loma del Gato, and, just as
the retiring Spanish disappeared
over the hill to the left of the bat-
tle ground, Gen. Maceo jumped
from his horse and stood with
one arm on the pommel of his sad-
dle, and the other outstretched,
giving orders for our return to
camp. His back was turned to
the enemy. Suddenly a shot rang
out, and Maceo reeled and, with a
<-ry, fell to the ground. The
hlood spurted from a feaiful
wound in the back of his neck.
The bullet went right through his
neck, coming out in front. He
cried: 'I won the fight. I am
glad to die. Cuba! Cuba!'
"He lingered nearly au hour
and then died. The next day we
carried him to Songo and buried
him. We couldn't afford to spend
the cartridges in firing a salute
over him.
Sergt. Guallaro said that there
is no truth in the statements fre-
quently made that there are dissen-
sions between the whites aud
blacks in the armies of Cuba.

excitement among negroes.
Marshall, Ok., August 16.—
There is great excitement among
the negroes in the Black Jack set-
tlements west of here, it being al-
leged that a baby was born in one
of the first families of the district
a few days ago with a full mouth
of teeth and that it spoke inst
three words and then died. The
words spoken by the child were
"seven years famine," and the
colored aunties all declare this to
be divine prophesy of such a
calamity to befall Oklahoma and
are getting ready to imitate Jos-
eph of old by laying up bountiful
stores ot all good things.
