Serenaded the Committee.
There was music in the air in the vicin-
ity Of committee headquarters tent this
morning. when the first regiment band Of
Wilmington. Del, serenaded its occupants
The music rendered was pronounced first
class, and Maj. Biscoe Of the committee
made a few characteristic remarks thank
ing Leader John Wallsmith and his twenty
German-American musicians for the treat.
An Omcer Sick.
There was another case of camp diarrhoea
this morning in the person Of Mai E.
Eugene Haskins Of p. c. Cadillac Lodge,
No. &C. and Cadillac City Division, No q,
from Cadillac, Mich. Maj. Haskins was
first treated at the field hospital, but II
was fear ed his case might result seriously,
and Col Wampler sent him to the Emer-
gency Hospital. where he is now resting
quietly. The physician In charge there
says the patient will soon be out again.
Selling without q Permit.
Just about noon a tall, lanky country
nan Of unguessable age happened around
committee headquarters with the words
"chewin' gum issuing from his rural
mouth.
Have you a permit to sell chewing
gum?" inquired Maj. Biscoe.

The Star man talked with Mai. Gen. Car
nahan this morning. He was very anxious
to gain an opinion on the countermarch.
He had issued the order for this In the
face Of storms OF adverse conjecture and
appalling prophecy. but the opinion today
was that its success Justified the judgment
of Gen. Carnahan.
There was some confusion at places along
the route. due to the passing Of bands play
Ing different airs. but this was q small mat
ten and was reduced to a minimum by the
Intelligence OF bandmasters, and the fact
that the musicians did not choose to blow
wher their efforts were wasted. Not the
slightest confusion OF this kind occurred at
the Supreme Lodge reviewing stand. as the
line bound down had the right of way, and
the up-coming bands furled their colors, as
II were, when there was danger OF con-
nicting with the other bands.
Gen. CaFnahan Complimentary.
Gen Canadian and staff reviewed the

noon. He commended everything in sight

All along the boulevards are great yellow
water tanks, furnished by the Independent
Ice Company, and these are constantly sur
rounded by dusty and sweating men, wo-
men and children. Some of the commits
sary tents contain liquors, but when a
comrade takes too much he Is slowed away
by his friends so that no horrible examples
are presented to the populace.
The Michigan people were the bowling
swells of the camp. They kept open house
yesterday and dealt out claret punch and
other provisions with a heavy hand to all
who invaded their precinct. The tent has
been richly decorated, and the commits
sary tent especially is an attractive place
for the tired and thirsty wayfarer. Quar-
termaster General Jennings presided over
the punch bowl, and a committee of Michi-
gan ladies aided in the festivities.

A branch Of the public service that de-
serves q great deal Of attention but gets
very little. is the railway mail service. 1t
shares with the nfe-saving service the
reputation of being more dangerous than
any other form Of endeavor for which this
government pays salary. and 1t lives I'D to
Its repute. A harder combination. Of ply
steal exertton and mental strain than that
required of the clerks. who spend much of
their time in rapidly moving cars, could
hardly be imagined. and when to the weari-
ness consequent upon many hours Of con-
ttnuous application to duty are added the
possibilities Of horror ever present in rail-
road work 1t would seem as though no way
OF earning living could be much more un-
popular. One Of the most fearful Of the
risks Is that Of confagration following
closely upon collision or derailment, and to
the removal of this the authorities should
apply themselves with humane haste. At

Democrats who know anything about po-

busily engaged today in explaining how
II came 10 be that yesterday a republican
was elected ID Congress In q district that
In November. 1892. gave a democrat a ma
3ority Of s.s25 over his republican competi-
tor. Several theories are current, but no
one Of them seems to satisfy the seeker
after real Information. Discussing the rea-
sons for democratic defeat In the fourteenth
district. the New York Times says that
those who ascribe 1t to the administra-
TONS Hawaiian policy are fools. those who
blame the Wilson tariff bill are sightless; the
only, ones vino know what they are talking
about are those who agree with the Times
that the downfall Of Candidate Brown Is
condemnation of the income tax and a
''rebuking Of the laundering mob at Wash
ington."
The income-tax milestone idea Is also held
by the New York Herald; the World fails
to give any particular reason for the hap
pening; the Sun blames the Wilson bill.
With this latter exception, Gotham's demo-
cratic dailies are sure that the tariff cut no
figure In the result, although they produce
no argument to support their views. The

the fourteenth and the diminution OF
of Straus proportionate plurality in the
fifteenth Is sudden resentment against the
income-tax proposition.

ton to an income tax Is certain, but that

Of the fourteenth district who refrained
from voting yesterday did SO because Of
hosuiIIy to an income tax which would

theory as the explanation which ascribes
their apathy to the hard times and to their
belief that the government Is responsible
for the hard times. either through its tariff
proposals or in some other way. The tariff
issue was certainly pushed to the front in
the campaign which has just closed. A
great many voters cast their ballots on the
tariff question with no understanding Of
the issues in political economy that are in

belief, based on statements made 20 them,

themselves better times may now, in the

Of disappointment and resentment. and vote

that in a place where the light furnished is
