Honor Abroad, Honesty at Home.
Can you, by adding a word or subtracting
a word or (-hanging- a word, Improve Thko
DORt Roosevelt's declaration of prlnolples?
"Aa we pledge ouraelrea to uphold the) na
tional honor abroad, bo ire pledge owBeixses lo
enforce, atrict honeBty at home."
That Is this bonorablo and honest man's
understanding of what he represents In tho
campaign of 1R0R.
It rovers everything. It recognizes and
affirms categorically tho whole duty of the
Republican, of tho American. And, uttered
by Theodohb Roosevelt, the pledge Is
Worth Its face value.
Can you bettor the platform T Can you
match tho candidate?

The Record to Date.
There Is probably much truth In the old
adago that should the heavens fall there
would be Inrk pie In abundance. And here
Is the t'.agle of Brooklyn repeating a state
ment which gives an erroneous vlow of the
political situation:
"If tho wm nlici of Republican losses la Main
and In Vermont should occur In Now Tort, thii State
Would go PemoeraUo bjr about 100.000 majority.
Col. RooacvaXT In rolled upon to arrant that law of
percentage. To arrant It will Impoaa a sever tai
upon ere n hli energy and popularity."
In the oleetion of 1 804 In Vermont (corre
pondtng to the election of this year In that
State) the Republican vote was 42,000, and
tho Democratic vote 14,000 on a full poll.
This Is how the Mguree of the recent elec
tion In Vermont compare with 1804 on a
much reduced vote:
. ms.
Jtepubllran .Bg SS.SBB
Democratic 14,143 14,474
The Republican plurality in Vermont this
year on Governor Is 29,670. A like dimi
nution of the Republican vote In New York,
compared with 1804, would leave It 005,
000, against tho Democratlo voto of G20,
000, a Republican majority of 85,000.
In Mftlno at the recent election tho offi
cial Republican plurality on the Governor
ship was 24,589. The Republican plurality
was not so largo as the Democratlo vote,
I but It was not very far from It. The Dem
ocratic voto for Govornor was less than the
Demoorntio vote cast for Governor In Maine
at the corresponding State election four
years ago, and the Democratlo voto this
year was considerably less than the vote
cast for Bryan In 1 800. Tho Republicans
of Maine had a little moro than their nor
mal majority this year, but the lethargy of
the canvass reduced their total vote, as a
listless canvass always diminishes the total
vote of the dominant political party In any
off-year 8tate election.
Now York's election Is not to be decided
this year by what was done in other States,
but by what tho voters of this State think
of tho candidates presented to them, and of
the issues concerning which one party Is
' outspoken and the other party Is silent. If,
however, any comparisons of this year's
election with those of other liko elections
in previous years are to bo made, they
should certainly be comprehensive, and not
fragmentary, in order to bo worth con
sideration. Here are the results In votes,
official, in the States which have already
bold elections in 1808, compared with the
liko elections in 1804, omitting only Ala
bnmo, in which this year there was no Re
publican ticket in tho field. In Oregon, In
1804, the Democratic) and Populist votes
Iw Te cast separately ; this year thero was a
fusion between the two parties In opposi
tion to the Republicans:
JfrpiiMtcan. Democratic.

Our Need of Artillery.
A few facts will serve to Indicate the great
relative importance which the artillery
must assume hereafter In our permanent
army, The experience at Santiago this
year has demonstrated once more the value
of land forts, where properly placed, In pro
tecting a coastwise city from the attack of
a hostile fleet
According to a recent reckoning, we may
expect to have at seventy localities, In
twenty-six of our principal harbors, 287
guns of the 8-inch, 10-lnch and 12-inch
calibres, besides 812 12-inch mortars. It
is belloved by some experienced artillery
officers that two high-power guns in their
emplacements are enough to be under the
command of a Captain, in time of action. A
single detachment for the 8-Inch rifle is
reckoned at nineteen men; for a 10-Inch
rifle, twenty-three men; for a 12-Inch rifle,
twenty-seven men; for a 12-Inch mortar,
eighteen men. In hostilities, throe reliefs
should bo assigned to each gun, and there
are also needed a few extra men for various
purposes lu each battery. Some officers of
long servioo hold that 100 enlisted men is a
proper peace strength for a battery, to be
increased to perhaps 130 men In war.
For a siege battery of six pieces, consist
ing of 5-iuch rifles, 7-lneh howitzers,
7-lneh mortars or :i.6-lnn- mortars, com
pletely horsed for active operations, there
should bo 1 50 men for each battery. But In
time of pence it would probably be enough
to have one battery of each class of eiego
oi'dnanoo fully equipped as a school for
subalterns, and other howitzers and mor
tars, now held at arsenals, might also be
distributed to the forts, to be formed into
batteries of instruction, without homes.
Silt apart from the (juostlun of siege ur-
tlllery, it we take a basis of 100 enlisted
men in a battery, and two heavy runs to
each battery, It will be seen that for the
287 heavy guns already spoken of, over 14S
batteries would be required of 100 men
each. Then there are tho 812 mortars to
be manned, not to speak of 258
rapid-fire guns. It Is true that
In tlino of peaco It may not be
necessary to provide three reliefs for each
gun, but, as an offset, we havo the mortars
and rapid-fire pieces Just spoken of, and we
also have the permanent artillery garrisons
to be maintained in Porto Rico, Hawaii, tho
Ladronea and tho Philippines, all of which
are In addition to calculations already
spoken of.
There aro now authorized, under the war
establishment, 16,800 enlisted mon, divided
into seven regiments of twelve batteries
each, with a maximum of 200 to a battery.
It seems plain that at least this enlisted
strength should be continued as the perma
nent artillery establishment, divided, how
ever, Into the more convenient and efficient
organization of 100 men to a battery, whioh
would constitute fourteen regiments. This
would give us no greater artillery strength
than the country needs.
The Political Consequences of tbe
Pekln Coup d'Ktat.
Thero Is reason to believe that the de
position of the Emperor KWAHoeu and
the usurpation of power by the Empress
Dowager Tsi Ax have thwarted a care
fully devised plan for the regenera
tion of China, to be effected through a
close alliance with Japan, which would
have had the moral, if not, also, the
material, support of Great Britain and the
United 8tatos. The plan, had It been car
ried out, would have put an end to Rus
sian, French, and German encroachments,
would havo thrown open tho whole of
the Celestial Empire to foreign trade,
would have paved the way to covering
the entire country with a railway net
work, and would have Introduced such
sweeping educational reforms as would,
eventually, have led the Chinese to vie with
tbe Japanese in a willingness to adopt
Western civilization. Tho well-known Jap
anese diplomat. Marquis Ito, had come
to Pekln in order to promote tho project,
but he has now departed, recognizing that
his mission has been foiled by the palaco
revolution which has brought about a
change of rulers.
The selection of Marquis, formerly Count,
Ito Hibobumi for a special embassy to
Pekln was itself significant of an Intention
on the port of the Mikado's Government to
resume the far-reaching programme which
had been temporarily renounced, when,
in May, 1805, Japan found Itself con
strained to accept a revision of tho
ShimoDoseki treaty. That treaty, which,
it will be remembered, was negotiated
by Count Ito and Li Huso Chano, had,
on tho face of It, apart from the agree
ment for a money indemnity, two capital
objects, to wit : the erection of an impreg
nable barrier between northeastern China
and Russia and the levelling of the bars
which had impeded the industrial and
commercial development of the Middle
Kingdom. Tho first purpose was to be
fulfilled by ceding to Japan the south
ern portion of the province of Fcng
Tlen, including the Liao-Tung, or Regent's
Sword peninsula, upon which are situated
the commercial entrepot, Tallenwan, and
the naval fortress. Port Arthur. The at
tainment of the second aim was to be
furthered not only by the opening of a num
ber of additional treaty ports and by permit
ting steam navigation under the Japanese
flag on the Upper Yangtso and on the
Woosung River and Canal, but also by giv
ing Japanese subjects the right to hire
warehouses in tho interior of China without
paying any taxes thereon, to engago in all
kinds of manufacturing Industries in the
open cities, and to import Into China all
kinds of machinery, paying thereon only
the stipulated customs duties. These impor
tant concessions, which rendered easy tho
construction of railways and tho establish
ment of factories, were obtained, it should
bo borno In mind, not for Japoneso subjects
alone, but also for the subjects and citizens
of all powers having treaties with China
which contained " tho most favored na
tion" clause.
Had tho Shimonosekl treaty been car
ried out in Its original form, tho Jap
anese, firmly planted in the Llao-Tung
peninsula, would not havo allowed tho Rus
sians to acqulroon toe-free port in the Pa
cific; tho Trans-Siberian Railway would have
had to seek a terminus at Vladivostock ;
and tho Mikado's representative at Pekln
would gradually have come to be vested
with a species of tutelary authority which
would have been used to compel tho Chinese
to enter on tho path of progress, where
in tho Japanese havo already so far ad
vanced. Scarcely, howovcr, wus tho Ink
dry on tho treaty signed at Shimonosekl
on April 17, 1805, when Japan found hor
solf confronted with a demand on the
part of Russia, France and Germany that
she should waive that part of tho treaty
which provldod for tho cession of terri
tory on the Aslatlo mainland. Great
Britain, which regarded with approval the
Japanese programme that had for Its
main features freedom of trade and
industrial evolution, did not, It Is true,
take any part in the demand for a re
vision of the treaty, but confined herself
to tho maintenance of a neutral attitude.
At a word of encouragement from her the
Mikado would undoubtedly have defied
the protesting powers, for his armies then
stationed on Chinese soil would havo been
more than a match for any troops that
could have been brought against them by
Russia, while, with British assistance, his
fleet would havo had no reason to fear the
combined naval forces of France, Russia
and Germany. The word was not spoken ;
Lord RosKiiEitv'H Government let a pre
cious opportunity pass ; and on May 10 the
Mikado announced to his subjects by a
proclamation that, being unwilling to In
volve his pooplo In new complications, he
had decided to restore tho territory ceded
to him on tho Chinese mainland.
Almost exactly two years and a half after
the three European powers had robbed the
Mikado of the best part of the fruit of vic
tory, on the plea that China's territorial in
tegrity ought not to be infringed, they pro
ceeded to do tho very thing which thoy had
prohibited Japan from doing. In Novem
ber, 1807, two German men-of-war solzed
Klao Chou, and Germany's representativn
at Pekln presently extorted from the Chinese
Government a lease of that harbor for
ninety-nine years, together with the right
to construct all railways and to work all
mines in the province of Shan-Tung.
This was followed by a convention
signed at Pekln on March 27, 1808,
riving tho Russians the "usufruct"
of Port Arthur and Tnlieuwan, together
with tho right to construct a branch of tho
Trans-Silieriau Railway through Manchuria
to her now uuval eutiou. tiomewhut luter
France obtained possession of the port of
Kwang-Ohau, which is tbe beet outlet to
the sea in the southern province of Kwangsl,
and at the same time reiterated her claim,
first advanced in 1 895, to a prior right to
control the future of tho province of
Yunnan.
Why, it may be asked, did not Japan In
the winter of 1807-08, when the alleged
motives for demanding the revision of the
Shimonosekl treaty wero cynically dis
avowed, and when it was plain that tho
dismemberment of the Middle Kingdom
was contemplated, propose to England
to resist by force the programme of
spoliation? The answer Is that, at
that time, an installment of sixty mil
lion dollars was still due on the Japanese
Indemnity, and that tho Ironclads ordered
by the Mikado In British shipyards wero
still far from completion. In both respects
the situation is now materially altered.
The last installment of tho Indemnity has
been paid, and the Japanese navy is so
muoh strengthened that it Is now well ablo
to cope with the force whioh any European
power, except Groat Britain, can place In
the Pacific. Hence, after the recent change of
Ministry at Tokio, it was decided to send
the Marquis Ito to Pekln, thero to toko ad
vantage of the influence known to have been
acquired by Chinese reformers ovor tho Em
peror Kwakosd, and to effect, if possible,
the conclusion of an alliance between Japan
and China the aim of which should bo tbe
protection of the former country against
further mutilation and its embarkation on
a course of educational reform and Indus
trial transformation.
Such was the vista of security and prog
ress which, for a moment, was opened be
fore China, but whioh has been shut off by
the coup fttat that has Involved the down
fall of the Emperor Kwaxuht; and brought
about the triumph of the Franco-Russian
party at Pekln.
Making Money Out of Men's Vanity.
The bringing of a suit against Tod Sloan,
the famous jockey, by tho publisher of a
book purporting to bo a collection of biogra
phies and portraits of eminent turfmen,
upon a subscription by Sloan for a number
of copies of the book, has called attention
to a new and successful method by which
money Is made out of human vanity.
The inducement held out to Jockey Sloan
to subscribe for the book in question, and
to promise to pay for the Insertion of his
portrait therein, is conceded to havo been
the glory of being permanently enrolled
among tho great men of the sporting world,
and of being handed down to postorlty as
one of them. His defence to the suit of
the publisher for the price of the scrvlco
thus promised. Is, that the company In
which ho has been placed Is not what he ex
pected it to be, and that he Is ranked, not
as a hero among heroes, but as one of a lot
of nobodies. More than a hundred other
men and boys have been sued and are re
sisting suits, on a similar state of facts.
It Is not Jockeys and stablo boys only,
whoso vanity leads them Into promising to
pay for the supposed distinction of having
their portraits and tholr biographies
printed In a book. Some half dozen, moro
or less, of enterprising men are engaged in
getting out what they call biographical
cyclopaedias or dictionaries, and they obtain
much money from tho people who aro de
scribed in them. Their proceeding is, first
to solicit from their victims, in a very flat
tering way, the material for their biogra
phies, and tho solicitation Is usually com
piled with partly out of good nature, and
partly to prevent tho errors which would
occur if it were not. Then follows a re
quest for a photograph, from which to en
grave a portrait to be printed In the book,
and, finally, an urgent pressure to sub
scribe for a copy of it, at anywhere from
$25 to $100 per copy. Tho cost of publica
tion being, say, $5 per copy, and tho number
of biographies being anywhere from 500 to
1,000, tho profit, even If only half of the sub
jects subscribe. Is evidently enormous.
We have nothing to say In condemnation
of tho promoters of this Industry. Thoy
are but a few among tho thousands who
make money out of human weakness.
Lawyers, doctors, jowellers, milliners, tail
ors, and ovon clergymen, live upon the pas
sions, the vanity and tho fears of mankind,
and if a person can be persuadod to pay
$100 for tho pleasure of seeing his biogra
phy and his portrait printed in n book, thero
Is no reason why ho should not, be gratified.
Only, let him remember, thot for nil tho
glory ho roally gets by it lie might as well
be content with having his nniuo printed in
a directory. Ho will be, as ho will bo In a
directory, lost In a crowd as obscure as him
self, and, in due time, be forgotten.
Dead Against Chapter 655.
Vague, indefinite and unsatisfactory as
Is tho Syracuse platform of tho Democrats
touching questions of overshadowing na
tional Importance, it was plainly out
spoken as to one matter, however mis
takenly :
" Wo favor the repeal of chapter u."..p. of the Law
of 1 SOS, which changed the then existing law and
clrcumscrilies the power of the Governor in filling
vacancies In public offlcos during the recenn of the
Senate. The act is mlachiuvuUH, unjustifiable, and
partisan."
Now, let us see what Is this law denounced
by the Syracuse platform mukers, which
they pledge tho Democratic party of New
York to repoal If It gets the chance. Here
is chapter 055 of tho Laws of 1 808 :
Section 1. Suction 28 of chapter 881 of the Lawn
of 1802, known a the Public Officer law, la hereby
amended ao aa to read aa follows:
"I Fillino Vacancib in Of riCE or OrnccH, Ar
roiKTCP bt Oovkbnob and Hihatf: . A vacancy which
ahall occur during the session of tbe Senate In the
office of an offloer appointed by the Governor, by and
with the advica and eonaent of tbe Senate, ahall be
filled in the name manner an an original appoint
ment. Such a vacancy occurring or existing other
wise than by expiration of term, while the Senate I
not in aeaslon, ahall be filled by the Governor fur a
term which ahall explr at the end of twenty day
from tbe commencement of the next meeting of tb
Senate.
" Tbla art shs'.l take effect on tbe first dsy of Jan
uary. 1800."
The circumstances attending tho adop
tion of this chapter were very simple.
Heretofore some uncortuinty has existed
as to tho power exercised by tho Governor
In what ure called "rocess appointments"
to offices tho filling of which devolves upon
him, "with tho concurrence of tho Ken
ate." Chapter 055 settles tho ques
tion by prohibiting thjn Governor from
uiuking any recess appointment, when tho
Senate is not in session, to offices which
would require tho confirmation of tho
Senate, if hi session, except lu "cases of
vacancies which arise otherwise than by
expiration of term." In those cases the
Governor can, after Jan. 1, 18(10, when the
now law goes Into effect, "fill them for a
term expiring twenty days after tho next
meet itig of the Senate."
Roally there was nothing mischievous,
unjustifiable and partisan lu tho reasons
for the adoption of this law. Of recent
years the policy of both parties has bcou
to lessen the duration of the sessions of
the Legislature. This Is possible because
tbe business of the State is now trans
acted with greater celerity and less friction
than formerly, the means of communica
tion having been Improved, the lawmak
ing power of the Legislature curtailed,
and the authority of local legislative boards
Increased. Consequently the Legislature
this year was ablo to adjourn as early aa
March 81. Very probably, under the work
ings of tho amended Constitution, It will
soon be able to transact In two months the
whole business of the political year. In
such an event, therefore, a " recess appoint
ment" by tho Governor would be, in effect,
for ten months of the year.
Moreover, If tho project of biennial ses
sions is carried out, such legislation is nec
essary If the mandate of the Constitution as
to confirmation by the Senate of appoint
ments by the Govornor Is to be respected,
and the Democratic platform makers put In
their fourteenth plank a declaration In favor
of such biennial sessions. It will bo ob
vious to every one that, exoept for this law,
should tho Legislature meet only onoe In
two years, the power of confirmation exer
cised by tho Senate would become practi
cally suspended, contrary to the require
ments of the Constitution.
The law assailed at Syracuso is just,
reasonable and necessary.
Cobwebs In Tryon Row.
Our esteemed contemporary, the StaatB
Zeitung, got Into its head some three years
ago the notion that Thodobb Roosevelt
was an Illiberal, narrow-minded, fanatical
Know-nothing. Now persistency rather
than frequency of Ideas Is the characteris
tic of that head. The notton onoe acquired
cannot bo eradicated. The philosophers of
tho high places above the Rathskeller are
conservative about adding to tholr mental
investments. So wo find Horr Ottkndor
Feb's trnnscendentalists shuddering at
tho prospect " einer Verpflansung einea ao
erratiachen und notiviatiachen Mnnnea in'e
Roosevelt flu den Ooueernruratuhl."
Because RooflEVBLT enforced the excise
laws ho Is a Know-nothing and he is "abso
lutely Incapable of understanding other
people's ways of thinking and living."
Tho truth Is that the real Roosevelt, a
very different person from tho figure which
the trunsoendontallsts of Tryon Row havo
stuffed with their own sawdust, Is a catho
lic, sympathetic and unprejudiced man. Ho
Is by temperament, by education, and by ex
perience of the manners of many men and
cities, a liberal man. He has associated
with men of many different nationalities
and opinions, and his views of their modes
of thought and life aro a good many diame
ters wider than can be Inclosed In tho cob
webs of Herr Ottendobfer'b temple of
thought.
Mr. Roosevelt docs bellove, however, In
enforcing law. Ho docs not believe that
an offloer charged with the administration
of certain laws has a right to pick and
choose what laws shall be enforced. Argal,
he Is a fanatic and a natlvlst, say tho cob
web philosophers.
Well, he is a mighty good American, if
you go to that, and a good deal broader
minded than tho Tryon Row philosophers
and someother major gods of the Biervotum.
Honor and Shame.
A war brilliantly successful on sea and
land has been finished at a surprisingly
small cost of life.
A portion of the press has been and la
devoting all Its energies of Invention and
misstatement to assailing the management
of that war. The pride of victory has been
forgotten In tho maniacal desire to produce
a sensation and to inflame public sentiment
against the Administration.
Moro than the Administration is affected
by these malicious attacks. They serve to
discredit the United States In the eyes
of other nations. They paint upon the
minds of our sneering enemies on the
Continent a nation so Ignorant of war
that It Is thrown Into hysteria by find
ing out that soldiers do not sleep on down
and feed from gold plate; that disease and
exposure are more destructive than bullets,
and that in the vast and multifarious work
of feeding, clothing, equipping, and trans
porting armies and caring for tho sick, a
percentage of error ocours.
But it is not the nation, the American
people, that is thus engaged In discrediting
Its own achievement and dishonoring Itself
by whining over the prlco of victory. A
few newspapers aro mongoring their usual
wares of He, exaggeration, rumor and sur
mise. A lot of politicians aro hoping to
win n partisan advantage by throwing dis
grace upon tholr country.
It is n shameful effort to dim the splendor
of tho national victory.
Readers of Gen. Wheeleb's testimony
before the War Investigation Committee In
Washington should remember that it is the
first public testimony upon the subject given
by a soldier.

Camp danger rank first. They are Inevitable,
especially to the volunteer military organisa
tion, undriilod and Inoxperieneod In the varied
conditions of outdoor living. Another thought
ful observation of this serious man la In point
here, touching "the irony of history that re
fuse men credit, even from their own friend,
for many things, perhaps the best of all. In their
achievement." After thl Administration ha
accomplished a wonderful work, that has act
agog with wonder foreign power, with great
and trained armies, at tho llghtnlng-chango
rapidity of uocoful event that ushered In
the dawn of peace, we present the spectacle
ofapoople forcing Its Administration Into the
position of a supreme power Investigating nnd
explaining tho causes of such great results.
This generation has forgotten that war means
four times and more of disease In the Hold
and hospital than of wounds In battle.
President McKlnloy Incurred the harshest
criticisms from even his friends by trying to
held hack the country from the perils and mor
talities of a campaign in Cuba during the pes
tilential and hot season. Our unprepared con
dition for war was evident to tho leaders.
with a nation ready to equip only 23,(XK1 sol
diers and summoned to feed, elotho and pro
vide for ten time that number In field and
hospital. It made no dlfforenoo after tho
Maine disaster: the country would have war.
The cause of this was that public sentiment
far more than Cuban sentiment, as the re
turned soldiers themselves declare, for they
fraternized more with tho enemy than with
the Cubans, and ono hear less of Cuba Libre
nowadays than of our "new responsibilities"
and the acquisition of the Philippines.
Pitiable stories told by newspapers of the
terrible privations of the patients In the Camp
Black Hold hospital resulted at Hemnstead In a
house-to-house visitation for sheets, night
gowns, anything now or however old. to bo ap
plied to the needs of mon destitute of ordinary
comforts and food. Inquiries at reliable sourcos
of Information, howover, elicited the fact of the
presence of twenty trained women nurses, who
had access to au ovorsupplr of medical ana
delicatessen (tores In the camp. and. besides
this provision, the Government had placed
$2,000 for any unforesoeu needs of the sick
men. A fair-minded renortor could not possi
bly fail to soo how complete the arrangement
wore in Camp Blaok for tho comfort of the sick,
and that tho majority of them were receiving
such skilled care as circumstances would de
bar In their own home.
This samo "ungrateful" Government has
now removed all tne sick men to the Nassau
Hospital In Hempstead, and to an annex nea
the hospital a spacious old homestead opened
for the purpose by Mrs. R. H. Hunt of Harden
City so that thoy are not merely well oarea
for. but also are sheltered and in a uniform
temperature. Typhoid fever follows closely In
the wake of war. The Vlee-Presldant of the
lied Cross Society. George Kennan, an old cam
paigner In many lands, has been forced to lay
his head down on a hot pillow and take his turn
at tho fever spell, and that right over tons of
implies and with scores of nurses on the Bed
Cross ship Texas.
But it Is asked whv are these men who have
nevor stepped out of the State stricken down?
Whoever lives near a camp knows, and the
nurses reveal a side of soldier life that Is not
taken Into account by the uninitiated. Thero
Is nothing of which youth is so prodigal as
health. A large percentage of the men. besides
being careless of their well-being, draw tho
line at temperance." They came over to Hemp
stead village, "skipping the guard." or on
leave and In search of adventure their only
refuge the saloon. Returning with tho prover
bial "load," sleepy or reckless, soores of them
lay on the damp ground outside the lines till
morning, on a still-hunt for disease and death,
arising from the exposure of unhardened men.
Somo found the fatal typhoid, others pulled
through, and more will go on the pension list
and receive their life stipend from a Govern
ment that is not "responsible" for Individual
and unnecessary negligence of health Inws.
Tho fighting condition of Ills command Is a
matter of unceasing care to the regular officer,
who Is father, brother, physician and tyrant
rolled into one: nnd It Is too true that the
volunteer officer has been, in the majority of
casos, dense in recognising his responsi
bility for the heulth of the mon depend
ent upon him for requisitions of supplies pro
vided by the Government. The pres knows
that tho Quartermaster Is responsible for
these stores, and requisitions are his vouch
ers to declaro what has become of what has
been Intrusted to him : but the publlo ha
shown a lack of intelligence in not recogntring
the sins of omission on the part of many incom
petent officers who were not unpointed through
any 'pull." but eleoted by the men because
they wero 'good fellows" only that and noth
ing more. E. L. W.

aaslnted In moving the wouuded from the battlefield
and well remember one man whose clothes 1 cut from
his body and removed the maggots from his wounds.
The wounded were left lying upon the ground, where
1 saw them during a rainstorm. Thero were no
buildings in whioh to shelter them, not ambulance
enough for all and iundc.piato conveyance by rail
road to White House Landing, on York River.
There wore thousands dead and wounded; the en
emy was only driven hack by the hardest kind of
fighting, and men could not be spared from tho fir
ing lines to rare for the wounded and bury the dead
until it wan certain that the enemy had retired. The
urgei ns snd sttendsnts did all they could, but the
woundoil lu numbers were out of proportion to the
modlcal department My record show that the
wounded were being moved on the Mil day of June.

Talat of Permanent Radical!.
Te TM Inrroi or Tm Bog-Mr; I do not
dlpute ths truth of the remark by Mr. D. 0.
MoMlllsn. In hi letter to Ths Bun to-day. that
"ths solidity of ths fores eglitlng In ths
Democracy of the nstlon must necessarily prove
the doom of any agencies within the party that
prove recreant to It prlnolple." He means
that Democrats mut aupport the principle of
the Chicago platform, now unquestionably th
standard of th Domooratlo party, or else be
driven from It If thoy do not withdraw volun
tarily. If I were s Democrat a defined by that
platform I should follow Mr. MoMlllan In mak
ing loyalty to It a teat of the title of any man
to call himself s Democrat. 1'nless a party hs
a body of principles which It professes and be
lieve In It does not deserve to exist. Ths only
life of a party it In It principles, and under
our political system It Is ths unquestioned
function of a party's nstlonal convention to
lay down those broad and general prlnolple
for th whole Body. The people who accopt
and support them belong to the party, other
wise not I reject thorn, a does Mr. Horn
blower, a a direct contradiction nnd violation
of the original prlnolple of Democracy, and
consequently as the principle of a now nnd
distinct political organisation, with which I am
totally at variance, nnd to which I do not be
long and do not wish to be catalogued a be
longing. Decanise that platform wa adopted br more
than two-thirds of n national Demoerntle con
vention, and noW expresses the earnest senti
ment of probably more than two-third of tho
party ns It Is, docs not make it any the less sub
versive of tho principles which gave tho Demo
cratic party reason for Its exlstonoo up to the
time of the Chicago ('.invention. As I have
said, howover, I do not deny that that
convention had absolute authority to make
such a platform. Tho delegates represented
every district In tho Union, and they went to
tbe convention fully Instructed by the senti
ment of their district, where the principle of
the platform adopted by them had already been
dlRcussod thoroughly and openly. They did
only what those who olected them export
ed them to do and wanted thorn to do. It
was a regular Domocratio platform, adopted In
accordance with tlmo-honored and Invariable
Democratic usage It was framed adroitly for
tho purpose of attracting to the Democratlo
party the Populists, onoe dangerous rivals of
the Democracy In the South and West, and the
expected recruits appeared at tho elections.
Moreover, it tended to dlvldo tho ltepubllcnns.
among whom the silver sontlment and tho de
mand for an income tax, and consequently
hostility to the Supreme Court, which had
pronounced It unconstitutional, were strong
enough to make many of them allies In estab
lishing its policy. Looked at simply 8 polities
it wa good politic, and bolng auoh I cannot
believe that It will be cast aside by the Demo
cratic National Convention of KKX). Its ro
ndoptlon. to my mind, Is Inovltable, as Tin: Buk
has said. The forces that put It through In
1890 must carry It through In 1000 or retire
from control of the Democratlo party, taking
with thorn the most passionate earnestness and
greatest aggressiveness of the party. In my
opinion they will be beaton again in the country,
with that platform, but without it their stomach
for fight would be so far gone that they would
bo routed. The Democratic party at present
is the party of the Chicago platform and noth
ing else.
Now. tho rcnl and historic Democratlo party
1 a conservative party essentially opposed to
such radicalism and Its centralizing soclallstta
tondoncies. All men who still hold to theso
original and distinctive principles have now
facing them only one dangerous political
enemy, and It is this Democratlo party of to
day. Hence I cannot agree with Mr. Horn
blower as to the proper course for his fellow
Democrat of the old and genuine stamp to
pursue. Tho first duty of all such Democrat,
to my thinking. Is to ue their votes to beat
this falso Democracy everywhere and on all oc
casions, unless nominating convention reject
expressly and positively the standard which
ha been made authoritative for the Domo
cratio party. If they do otherwise and vote for
such ticket, they assist In making permanent
the perversion of their party. The mere name
Is nothing; the only vitality I in ths princi
ples, and If the original vitalizing principle
are gone from the party, it Is no longer Demo
cratic for them. It I another and a strange
and a hostile party.
If the conservative Democrat and Republi
cans unite to beat this new Democratlo party,
composed of Democrats, Populists, and Bllver
Republicans, at every oleetion between now
and 1000. and again In 1000 (for I do not ques
tion that Its policy will be the same In 1000 as
In lwiti). using the ouly means possible, whioh
obviously la the Republican party, we may
hopo that as a consequence tho Domocratio
party will be reorganized on Its old and genu
ine principles. When those now In control of
the party And by actual demonstration that,
after all, there I no practical advantage In tho
radicalism of the Chicago platform, they will
give it up, but not until thon.
Nevor was thero less reason In mero partisan
ship than now for Democrats to stand by their
party. In order to cement tho alliance with
the Populists and Bllver He publicans mado at
Chicago in 1H00, the tariff issue, previously
dividing on principle Democrat from Republi
cans, wa set aside, and It will not appear again
so long as that alliance last. The ground is
clear, accordingly, for a contest solely on the
naked issues mado at Chicago, as to which new
political lines, separating both Democrats and
Republican, aro now drawn.
Ordinary political discernment, it seems to
me. must see that the only hope of rescuing
the Democratic party from the dangerous radi
calism which has perverted it lies In its pun
ishment by defeat at the hands of Democrats
of the true school of Jeffebson.

Kitchener began his career by very slow step
taking twelve yonrs to gain his Captaincy in thf
engineer. But directly his chance came hi
coolness and self-command, bis imbmiif aba
energy, and his miraculous capacity for liurfl
work marked him out as a man of action. Thl
turning point in hi career uamo when Oen.
Blr Evelyn Wood undertook the reorganization
of tho Egyptian Army. He took service under
Wood In 18H2. and In lKHT. his marvellous
knowledge of the native mind and lniigiiugs V
brought him to tho front. Ho waa sent ahead
of Mr Onrnot Wolseiey to deal with the native
chiefs and officials whose attitude w. is uneer
tain. The following picturesque uceoitut .
him when engaged on this ticklish mission wai
wrlttou by an enthusiastic admirer of thoHlr
dar soon after the victory of Atbara:
" The first time I saw Kitchener ho was alnn
and unarmed among tbo soml-hostile Arnhs,
endeavoring to persuade them that their inter
ests would be best served if they took part with
British and Egyptian forcosagatnstttie dervish
rebellion. It was a strange eight to sou this
tall. slim, bluo-oyed Irishman armed only with
Illimitable self-confidence and fearlessnens,
arguing with, and sometimes threatonltig. the
powerful chiofs who. for ought he know, might
have been sworn allies of tbo tribe that hail jusj
murdered Col. Donald Stewart mid Consul
Power not many miles further up the Nile.
When persuasive reasoning failed, ho did
not shrink from telling these people what their
punishment would be when tho White Emir
and his legion came upon them, meaning
Lord Wolseley with tho British battalions tint
were then toiling slowly up the Cataract.
Those brave words. In whioh there wus no
doubt a touoh of boaatfuiness pardonable In
the circumstances, frequently gave rise to an
gry murmurs and sullen looks, but they were
met by the glance of eye that would not Havo
quailed If looking at grim death eyes thai In
such moment glow o curiously that the light
111 them seems fixed as If suddenly fro-jen."
It was Sir Herbert Kitchener who wont ahead
of Sir Herbert Stewart's column with two na
tive guide In the first dash for the wells of Ha
konl. Near there a notorious robber leader,
who had accompanied the Mahdist In their
merciless raids, was surprised and chased by
Nineteenth Hussar scouts. He and his few
follower would probably have eeeaped if
Kitchener, who was well mounted, had not
overtaken them, Alone, and far ahead of f lie
hussars, he closed with these ferocious free
booters, and called upon them to surrender.
The cool daring that had so often succeeded
told In this moment. Deceived by It Into the
belief that they were surrounded by unseen
foes whom the bold Englishman had at hi
command, they parleyed and wore lost, for this
gave tho hussars time to come up nnd make
prisoner of the band. It was a bold and char
acteristic act. which established Kitchener'
reputation with British soldiers.
At the crisis of tho Dongola expedition, whoa
it became necessary to seire a strategic point,
so that supplies might accumulate there before
tho Nile got too low for river transport, trop
ical storms of violence previously unknown la
these regions washed away sections of tho rail
way on which those supplies were In a great
measure dependent, hollowing upon chol
era and other sickness In his corps, this fresh
disaster seemed overwhelming. But ho stood
UP against It with characteristic fortitude.
In twenty-four hours the distribution of
forces along tho line of communication was so
arranged that battalions could be set free for
fatigue work on the railway. He went to In
spect several points where great dumuge had
occurred, looked ai ruined bridges and brokea
embankments with the eye of an engineer,
told tho officer that these things must be re
paired in so many days, and then, oonlldcut in
the effect of that word "must," wont away,
leaving them to their own resources. Though
the tosk thus sot Boomed In somo cases hercu
lean. It was done, and train were running a gala
on the renewed line on tho vory day whioh
he had named for the oomplotlon of tho work.
Sir Herbert Kitchener' courage in battle I
as conspicuous bis faculty for organization,
wheroby he ha been enabled to conduct a groat
and eventful eampalgu at a cost which seems
ridiculously small by comparison witli other.
The Slrdur Is a strong man. ami his faults ar
the faults of strength. Ho has. If anything, toe
little sympathy with or tolerance for liuinaa
weaknesses. Untiring himself, ho expects oth
ers to have the same power of endurance, ril
ing early and going to bed Into, yet always
about and always ready for action. He lias not,
perhaps, made many firm friendships line hi

how to keop tho old ones, mid they are re.t )y to
