The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1880-02-15

Mr.. BoUCICAULT, in a letter to the
New Iolk Herald, has made the admir-
able suggestion that the theateCs and
music halls of the country, which, he
says, number between four and five
hundred, shall next st. Patrick's Day
give a benefit for the relief of the dis
tress in Ireland. He estimates that in
this way between n hundred and n
hundred and fifty thousand dollars can
be raised, which would certainly be a
splendid Offering upon the part of the
theatrical profession.
Mr.. Boucicault's praiseworthy propo-
sition has suggested to US the thought
that if the managers and actors of the
country have so magnificent an oppor-
tunity to show public spirit and gener-
osity in this emergency, the newspapers
and journalists of America have one
equally splendid. There are four hun
dred theaters, but there are in all be-
tween seven and eight thousand news
papers, daily and weekly. Z If they were
to unite, what might they not achieve
in this great work of feeding a starving
peopleP 1t would be really difficult to
set ven in imagination bounds to the
possibilities of what they might accom-
plish. To join hands irrespective of
party or of class in SO noble a canse
would be the greatest exhibition that
could be given to the world of the great
ness, power and the influence of the
American press.

important MILITARY Rule.

The Journal calls attention toa very
important point in military rules and
etiquette. 1t says: THE publication
of a letter written by the enlisted men
of some companies of the Third and
Fifth cavalry, to Lieut.. Cherry, of the
latter regiment, has called attention to
the fact that the custom of holding
town meetings in the army, may, in
spite of the standing order and regula-
tions on that subject, become settled
upon us. 1t appears that the enlisted
men before mentioned were anxious to
show their entire approval of the con-
duct of Lieut.. Cherry in the affair with
the Utes in September last, and they
addressed a letter to him which was of
the most flattering nature. Had the
conduct of the lieutenant on that occa-
sion not met with the approval of the
men under his command, they would
have just as much right to address him
u letter of censure. The regulations Of
the army, for obvious reasons, express
ly forbid any deliberations or discus
sions among any class of military men,
having the object of conveying praise,
or censure, or any mark of appreciation
towards their superiors or Others in the
military service" There are no per-
sons who desire to take from Lieut..
Cherry the need of praise to which he
is entitled for CALAMITY performing his
duty, but there is so much of the gen.
eral training and town meeting style in
this letter that it is a pity that it has
ever found its way into print: All lieu
tenants who in future combats do not
receive congratulatory letters from the
enlisted men under their commands,
must be considered as not coming up
to their duties, and they may even re-
ceive a letter of censure.
at is to be hoped that the regulations
may be more fully enforced in future.
Our intelligent non-commissioned Off
GERS and men will, upon a little reflec-
ton, see that such letters must be sub
versive of all proper discipline, and
they will also recognize that gallant
officers are generally too modest to be
pleased at being selected from their
brave companions to be mentioned in
print except by their proper superiors
whose business it is to take care of
those matters.''
