country does not want any political gem

at war and It wants commanders who
arc able to meet the enemy and throttle

nothing but wear a uniform.
AS for Mr.. Bryan, he himself admits
that he is not qualified 10 command. and
we believe that he IS too sensible a man
to accept a position which he cannot fiji
with credit to himself and justice to his
country. As to General Wheeler there is
10 question Of his courage and ability
and qualifications generally for the posi-
ton Of major-general. which his friends
are asking FOR him. We shall be very
glad to see General Wheeler in the sad

sition TO appoint him because OF his views
on the currency question rather than his
military abilities

NO POLITICAL GENERALS, IL YOU
PLEASE

A Washington correspondent tells us
that Hon. William J. Braysn recently
wrote to President Mckinley offering his
services 10 the country in any capacity.
This. adds the correspondent, might be
considered broad and general enough. II
70 had not been addressed to the Prcsi-
dent who does not appoint 20 positions
below the grade Of brigadier general
Tho correspondent adds that since this
letter was written the President has been
besleged by political friends of Mr..
Bryan, in person or by letter. who have
urged that he be made a brigadior tell
ing the President that 81 would be wise
and polite TO appoint his late rival for
tho Presidency. and that the appointment
would help TO unite tho North and the
South. the Democratic and the Repubu-
can parties IN support OF the war.
From another source It is stated that
Gen. Joe Whooler's claims are urged
upon the President as recognition OF
the free silver forces.
We do not know that Mr.. Bryan has
in any way minated 70 the President
to make him a brigadier. Mr.. Bryan
himself said that he was willing to serve
as private declaring that he had had
30 military training TO fit him for the
duties OF commander. and we take Mr..
Bryan at his word
Nor do we know that there is any truth
I'm the story that the President has been
importuned to appoint Mr.. Bryan and
General Wheeler to military positions
IN recognition OF tho silver element. But

cannot pass It by without notice. and

two rooms about four yards by three at

The furniture consisted of three iron

the beds were never uneccupied. As for
food. if the neighbors are to be believed,
ths lads were given just enough to keep
them alive and able to work. Black
bread was the stable item, although there
was not much of that. Raw vegetables
and soup made out of places which the
