The Reprimand Administered to Lieuten-
ant Steele by General Schofield in Per-
suance OF the Findings and Sentence of
the Court-Martial that Tried Him for
Striking Private Wild.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE official
announcements of the findings in the
case of Lieutenant Steele were made
public at the War Department this
morning. After reciting the findings
and sentence already published the
order proceeds: 1.-THE court is thus leni-
ent on account of the great provocation
under which Lieutenant Steele acted
and of his excellent character, as shown
in evidence In approving the finding
of the court the Major-General COM
handing says: ga temporary loss of
self-control in dealing with 5he
mutinous conduct of a soldier has al
ready resulted in subiecting Lieutenant
Steele to the punishment of public and
official censure, to which little can be
now added by formal reprimand. The
lesson taught by this incident is in
structive to all young officers o: the
army by showing them the absolute
necessity of self-command as qualifica-
ton for the command of men. Abuse Of
subordinates by words or blows can not
be tolerated under any circumstances.
The United States army has heretofore
won unbounded confidence by the cool,
dispassiOnate manner in which it's duties
have always been performed, even I'M
der the most trying circumstances. This
high character can not be maintained if
officers permit themselves to be gov
erned by feeling in their own official
conduct toward each other and the men
under their command.
ut is proper to remark in connection
with this case that Lieutenant Steele
committed an unfortunate mistake in
acting as prosecutor in the trial of
soldier with whom he had a personal
difficulty. This resulted from the &C
cidental circumstance that Lieutenant
Steele was the Judge-Advocate of an
existing court, before which this case
was sent for trial.
although the Judge Advocate of a
court-martial is not one of the judges
who try the case, and although there is
no provision of law for the challenge of
a Judge-Advocate by the accused, yet,
nice sense Of propriety and due apprecia-
ton of self-interest should suggest to an
officer the wisdom of requesting to be
excused from the duty of prosecutor
under such circumstances. Such a re-
quest would. of course, be respected by
the commanding General who appointed
the court. j. M. SCHOFIELD,
'Maj or-General Commanding"

Acting under instructions of Judge
Ryland, the grand jury of Pettis County
has issued subpnnas for a number of
members of the High Five Club, Il
tony social organization of Sedalia
among whose members are quite num-
Der of young ladies, to appear before
that body. 1t is supposed that an effort
will be made to find indictments against
the persons at whose house the club has
met during its existence, on a charge of
permitting gaming and gambling on
their promises. Judge Ryland's in
structions to the jury to indict all per-
sons engaged in or participating in
game of ''euchre," high five or
church raffies'' has created not d little
unfavorable comment in Scdalia. At
first it was regarded as a joke.

STILL ANOTHER GAS COMPANY.

Aid. Vierling introduced a new gas
ordinance into the Council Monday
evening.
1t is in the interest of corporation
known as the Chicago Fuel Gas Com
pany.
1t proposes to tear up streets and
alleys, and to make millions by selling
fuel gas at from so cents to 60 cents
per | 900 cubic feet.
Who are behind the enterprise?
Mr.. Vierling will not tell.
Why not?
Does he suspect his colleagues of
designs on the wealthy promoters?
Who are they?
Are they the persons interested in
the gas trust who secured options on
the natural gas fields of Indiana a
year ago?
Is this another entering tentacle Of
the octopus trust?
What design does it cover?
Aid. Vierling ought to explain.
He must explain. The people of
Chicago are sick and tired of the gas
monopolies.
They are sick and tired of their
Aldermen voting valuable franchises
to wealthy promoters and corporations
without al equivalent, as far as the
people are concerned.
Evey ordinance now introduced
should be above board.
What, then, is the Fuel Gas Com
pany?"
Who are behind it?
Come, Mr.. Vierling, stand up and
answer.
No lodging.
No evasion.
No standing behind your honor.
That confidence game will not work
You have no right to introduce shady
schemes.
If you do introduce meritoriou'
schemes, you need not be ashamed tC
tell all about them.

From the Decatur I'LL Republican,
The Chicago papers bear the intelli
gence to the many warm personal
friends, in this part of the State, of
Capt. John ]. Healy, of Chicago, that
he is a candidate for the office of Clerk
of the Supreme Court for the Northern
Grand Division, and also that many of
the delegates to the State convention
from the counties embraced in the dis
trict are indorsing him. His nomina-
ton and election would please his
friends in Central Illinois. Capt.
Healy is n Republican of the highest
degree. He learned his Republican
ism in the army under Col.
James A. Mulligan, of the Twenty
third Illinois Infantry, which was
so well characterized by that
gallant soldier in his reply to areque
to take a leave of absence and assist in
political campaign which came on
during the war, when he said, "the
best argument at this time is made in
the rihe-pit by hurting bullets and
shell into the ranks Of the enemy
Captain Healy has held many Offices Of
trust since the war, and in all Of them
he ha, conferred credit not only upon
himself but upon the Republican party.
Healv is q good man to tie 70, and will
no doubt be given the Office he now
seek. The Republicans could do well
by calling him upon the state ticket
no almost any time
