Those two war-worn veterans VIII
tor months have been kept in obscurit
in order that cheap politicians and pal

sword aud spaulette, are now about 10 b
called into active service and be place
in their proper positions. 1t is said tha
Secretary Cameron wanted to place pc
litioal generals at the varions rosts =
trust and honor in order to populariz
the war. Fearful that the war polio
would not stand upon its own merit,
political dcmagogues, who had been sue
cessfuI in election campaigns, who ha
distinguished themselves Mt hsndlin
political wires, ard pulling political voc
over the eyes of the common herd, wcr
placed in the war harness. Real mill
tary merit was ignored. Behold th,
result Of the workings Of that sage plan
II has cost the country dear, and ha.
anything but popularixe the wa. W.
are gratificd to hear that the game ha,
played ont, and that Generals Wool and
Harvey are to be unshelved and placed
in positions which have been foully dis
graced by Csmeron's political generals.
Nov let the interests Of the country b
further served by pitching that mar
Cameron out Of the War Department,
and placing such man as Holt or Di,
in his stead. Let the incompetent meu
who have disgraced high position,
be thrown oot,aud let men Of experience
men Of mind, and men OF might, take
their places. The good work has been
commenced-le it continue.
