What the War Has Cost the Only
Political Colonel.

An interview with Col. William Jennings
Bryan of the Third Nebraska is published
in the Star of Kansas City. The corre-
spondent of the Star asserts positively that
Col. Bryan is about to throw up his part,
or, in other words, resign his commission
in the United States Army, in order to
resume his earlier and probably more con-
genial impersonation of the statesman
actively engaged in politics. 1t should be
understood that this statement OF the colo
nels Intentions does rot rest up3n any
thing which he has said for publication.
He still heroically maintains the reticenee
OF the true soldier.
But of his own reserve and reticence
Col. Bryan spoke freely to the reporter:
eff you knew what it cost me to keep
still when there is so much to say about
things of Importance to the people, and
of lifelong interest and moment to me, you
would appreciate the strength OF my will"
We CO not think the country has yet
fully appreciated this side of Col. Bryan's
patriotic devotion and self sacrifice. There
is something pathetic in the manner in
which he calls attention to the subject.
The set smile which he wears as part OF his
military uniform, and which has been
observed in all the photographs OF
the colonel taken since he entered upon
a warriors career, is not the mere smirk of
selt-satislaction for which some people have
mistaken it. 1t is the facial expression OF
the long-sustained muscular effort to keep
his mouth shut conce rning the myriad
things of importance and interest going on
constantly all around the silent soldier,
and continually tempting him to talk.
What agony is behind that smile, only
those who know Col Bryan's powers Of
utterance in time of peace can even family
imagine. Is not this heroismp
1t is true that at times the colonel's
sternly repressed maxilIaries have go. the
better OF his soldierly resolution. He has
made some speeches but not over dozen
or two. The grandeur of his military rec
ord must be measured not by these insig-
nifcant exceptions but by the number of
speeches which he might have made but
has not made, since he was mustered into
service. Think what the effort has cost
him! Think what will happen when the
period of heroic selt-restraint is at an end
The correspondent Of the Kansas City Star
asked him if he expected to talk freely on
public questions when released from SOL
dier's obligations. The colonel replied
with enthusiasm: "You know how it is
when dam breaks. There is no telling
when the flood stops"
How soon the dam will break and the
agony OF silence will cease depends upon
the date chosen by Col. Bryan for the sub
mission OF his resignation from the army.
This event is believed to be imminent; let
it come, if come it must. We shall only
stipulate that the act of resignation, the
unbuckling of the beloved sword, the re-
nunciation of the cuirass and the reassump-
tion of the toga, shall be performed in the
presence of kinetoscopic camera, in
order that the wargraph record of Col.
Bryan's military career may be complete.

Conditions at Chickamauga.

There has been great deal of news
paper talk to the effect that Chickamauga
Park is an unhealthy location, and this is
why there was so much sickness in the
regiments located there. The testimony
of eminent physicians says that the fever
was caused by uncleanliness and that the
recommendations of the army surgeons
were not carried out. Major R. Emmett
Giffin, who is at the head of the Sterrberg
hospital at Chickamauga in an interview
published in last Sundays issue Of the
Chattanooga Times says.
'In my opinion Chickamauga Park is
is one of the healthiest locations in the en-
tire country, that possibly could have been
chosen for a great military encampment. l
have been here for some time now, and
have come to the conclusion that no more
desirable place could have been found any
where. The drainage here is good, the
lay of the land excellent, the climate mild
and desirable, being just what is needed by
the troops, and there is not the slightest
question in my mind but that Chickamauga
Park was originally healthy. Why should
it be otherwise? All of the conditions her e
are conducive to good health and the
troops, which have been encamped here,
would certainly have enjoyed good health
if the proper care and precautions had
been taken to preserve health. ~ :
"Why, / have been over this camp and
have actually seen sinks in so feet of the
company's kitchens. This was one of the
most fragrant abuses and one of the worst
things that could have been done for the
health of the troops. A sink should be To-
Gated not less than 200 feet from the
kitchens, and with as much space as is at
forded by Chickamauga Park, they should
have been at least 800 feet away. The
park contained any quantity of desirable
unused ground and there is no reason in
the world why those sinks should not have
been located at the proper distance from
the company streets. All of these condi-
tions were conducive to ill health. And
sinks were LETT unprotected, the proper dis
infectants were not used, the most foul
oders were allowed to escape from them,
and as a result almost any one in the world,
no matter what good health they were en-
joyiDg, would have become i'll if they had
been placed in as close proximity to the
sinks as were the soldiers at this camp.
can express the entire situation in the fol-
lowing sentence:
1.-The sickness at Chickamauga Park has
been caused by the improper and negligent
manner in which the sanitary regulations
recommended by the army surgeons, have
been enforced. That is the situation in a
NUTSHELL
This is Major Giffin's opinion, and the
Times publishes long list of eminent doc.
tors who sustain him. This Chicka nauga
rumpus isl strange muddle; the officer
blame the doctors, the doctors bla me th'
officers, and all unite, in kicking old maj

A1ger, a Political Issue.

The democrats are determined to use
Alger as political issue. They begin by
condemning Alger and end by denouncing
Mckinley and the republican party. Here
is a plank from the Connecticut democratic
state platform:
We call attention to the fact that while a
successful war in the cause of common
people and fresh glory to their flag has
been waged, the management of the various
war departments has chilled our exultation
and brought home to us a sense of shame.
The American sailors and soldiers have
done their full duty but the administration
of President Mckinley has been utterly in
competent to discharge the obligations
which the mar agement OF the war imposed.
Incompetency and venality in places of
high trust brought disgrace upon the ad-
ministration and aroused the ire of an in
dignant people.

Special Features for Readers of the

Occasionally it is we'll to bring to the
minds Of old readers and impress upon
new readers some of the good
things the TIMES is offering from week to
week. The publisher aims to print all the
local news worth printing and thus make the

this part OF Vermont and New Hampshire !;
but he is also ambitiou~ to make it more
than merely local paper, and SO from
time to time special features will appear
which will aid in making the TINES model
family paper.
We mention our reports of the Wind
ham and Windsor county courts with con-
siderable satisfaction. These reports are
full, readable, and accurate. The Wind
ham County Court Is reported for the

Of the leading attorneys of the county.
