Round Robin For Shafter.

Asouuu AVOA = ox ckAhltcFs
After Colonel Roosevelt had taken the
initiative all the American general Off.
GERS united in a round robin addressed
to General shafter. 1t reads:
We, the undersigned officers command
ing the various brigades. divisions, etc.,
Of the army Of occupation in Cuba, are of
the unanimous opinion that this army
should be at once taken out of the island
OF Cuba and sent to some point on the
northern seacoast of the United States,
that 1t can be done without danger to the
people Of the United States, that yellow
fever in the army at present Is not epidem-
ic, that there are only few sporadic cases,
but that the army is disabled by malarial
fever to the extent that its efficiency Is
destroyed and that 1t Is in a condition to
be practically entirely destroyed by an ep-
idemic of yellow fever, which is sure to
come in the near future.
We know from the reports of competent
officers and from personal observations
that the army Is unable to move into the
interior and that there are no facilities for
such move If attempted and that 1t could
not be attempted until too late. Moreover,
the best medical authorities Of the island
say that with our present equipment We
could not live in the interior during the
rainy season without losses from malarial
fever, which is almost as deadly as yellow
fever.
This army must BE- moved at once or per-
ish. AS TIE army can be safely moved
now, the persons responsible for prevent
ing such move will be responsible for the
unnecessary loss of many thousands of
lives Our opinions are the result of care
full personal observation, and they are also
based on the unanimous opinion of our
medical officers with the army and who un-
derstand the situation absolutely.

has now determined to create a special

practice adopted after the civil war had

Of discrimination that had begun to be
made III many cases. While this naval

We think those who have thought
that the Catholics of this country
would be untrue to America in this war
against Spain because the Catholic re-
ligion is the prevailing religion in
Spain, were mistaken. Not only dur
ing the war of the rebellion but at all
times in our history the Catholics have
shown themselves to be fully as loyal
as any other class of citizens. Now
their priests are by direction of those
in. authority in the church in this
country, offering up special prayers
for the success of our arms in a cause
which they all recognize as righteous

1t scarcely becomes any one who is
not military expert or naval strate-
gist, and who has not unusual know
ledge of present conditions, to rigor'
ously critrcise the present conduct of
the war. 1t is safe to say that we at
this distance know but little OF the ac-
tual conditions of the war,which know
ledge might greatly modify our views.
The administration is no doubt acting
with good judgment and will invade
Cuba and expel Spanish authority
from there just as soon as proper prep
arations therefore are completed. A
country without standing army OF
much size has to take little time to
complete war preparations before invad
ing hostile territory.

THE WAR.

War news is scarce. The government
has wisely determined to keep its own
plans secret so that the enemy may not
profit by them. The Spanish Fleet left
Martinique several days ago and stopped
off the north coast of Venezuela, at Cur
acao. 1t left there two days ago and its
hereabouts are not now known. to the
public. 1t seems to be playing hide in
the Caribbean Sea while our navy is
playing seek. Its object is unknown,
but it may be to try to relieve Havana.
Our feet under Sampson and our flying
squadron under Schley and the Oregon
which has also arrived, are guarding as
best they can all avenues of escapefrom
the Caribbean. The object of our fleet
is to capture and destroy the Spanish
ships. Meanwhile the invasion of Cuba
is retarded. The first ship has left San
Francisco to aid Dewey.
The Second Iowa is mustered in as
the Fiftieth Iowa and will go to Tampa
about Saturday. The other three Iowa
regiments expect to go to Chattanooga
as soon as they can be got ready which
will be in few weeks.

The Advocate Angry.

Our criticism Of the Advocate for
insinuating that the Mckinley admin
istration would pay the Dondholder in
better money than it would pay the SOL
der in, was not taken kindly by it. We
simply said what we think about such
charges and insinuations, that they
partake of populism and of demagog-
ism. We also think the result of max
ing such charges now is to agitate II
movement in opposition to the admin
istration in handling the war problems.
The Advocate is patriotic in saying
that Gin times like these we are neither
republicans, democrats, or populists,
but citizens of republic whose dignity
as nation we will uphold" but we
submit the question to its sense Of
fairness if it isn't very unpatriOtic
when it. attributes to the administra-
ton a desire to pay the soldier in poorer
money than the bondholder. With
such contradictions it is hard to cor
rectly arrive at conclusion as to the
position of the Advocate. 1t seems to
know what patriotism would lead it to
do at this time, but it seems to be do
ing the opposite thing occasionally.
Thus it gives us reason to suspect that
it is in sympathy with such men as
Bryan and Bailey when they try to
embarrass the administration instead
of hold up it's hands and strengthen it,.
We rejoice to see that so many peo-
pie all over the country at such times
as these bury partisanship and
become patriots. We think President
Mckinley has aided this impulse among
our people. His retention of Consul
General Lee at Havana and his appoint
ment of Lee and of Joe Wheeler as
major generals show, in our opinion,
the true quality of good judgment and
craftsmanship. This spirit of liberality
is happily met in the same spirit by
most people OF opposite political faith
to him, but when Bryan and Bailey
caper in opposition to the administra-
tiOn's plans and the Advocate takes a
cue from them, it CRATES on the peoples
sense of prOpriety. They should surely
change their party board of strategy
and they wouldn't continue to make
such breaks.

Five of the Iowa delegation in con-
gress are already practically assured of
a denomination by reclamation
Messr. Cousins Dolliver, Henderson,
Hepburn and Hull. Clark declines to
be candidate on account of ill health.
Curtis declines for business reasons
but will probably be nominated just
the same. Lacey and Perkins will also
be nominated. We are not well enough
acquainted in the Fourth and Ninth to
venture prediction, but Hager and
Updegraff are candidates and unless
the opposition unite on strong men
they will be their own successors.

The Iowa City Republican decries
the fuss that is made every time the
son of wealthy man enllsts as a pri-
vate in the volunteer army. .Why
shouldn't hep" 1t asks. Continuing,
the Republican says: at is the young
man in the humble walks of life, whose
living depends oil his own individual
exertions and who perhaps supports a
dependent parent or other relative, who
deserves the credit when he shoulders
a gun and enters the ranks of his coun.
try's army. And it is of such that the
ranks are filled. They are the ones
who do the bulk of real fighting."-

A third of century had passed since
our country has been at war. During
that time great changes have come
over our people. A whole generation
has grown up that knew nothing of
war, or its excitement, until the teie-
graph brought them the word the other
day that we were at war with Spain.
Peace is the condition to be desired by
those people who want progress and
improvement of the people morally,
financially and intellectually. But not
peace at any price. Not at the price
of our nations honor, nor at the price
OF our influence in the world for the
betterment of mankind.

1t appears that our country is about
to be confronted with new problem
of craftsmanship, that of whether we
shall assume the government of distant
possessions in the far east. There
seems to be u recent change of senti-
ment favorable to the annexation Of
the Hawaiian islands. For the past
generation the prevailing sentiment in
this country has been that we have
enough to do to properly govern our
present territory. 1t has been recog-
nized principle with us that whatever
territory we govern is part of our
common country and was entitled to
representation iu our congress and to a
voice in the making of our laws. So
it followed that we have had an antip-
athy to assuming control of new terri
tory which would either necessitate our
admitting to our own citizenship peo
pie unfit to exercise it's rights, or
compel us to violate our cherished
principle of equal representation in
congress of all governed by congress.
But now a different feeling is taking
possession of our people. Our com
merce has greatly grown with China,
Japan and the far east. The Pacific
has become highway of trade for us.
The submarine cable and the steamship
have largely annihilated distance. For
commercial reasons our people are
wanting a foot hold in the Pacific, so it
now looks like the early traditions of
the republic would bethrown aside, and
Hawaii annexed and the PHILIPPINES
retained. Our country is becoming
ambitious to certain extent to have
its share in the ruling of the dependent
countries of the world.

We had not claimed that Dewey was
Il republican, nor made an inquiry as
to his politics, but the Advocate ap
pears now saying if we knew he was a
democrat we would no doubt fail to
see the glory he has won. 1t then goes
on to state he is democrat of the old
school. Such narrowness makes us
very tired. What if lie is a democrat
There are democrats and democrats.
Some are patriots while Others are
obstacles in the way of every good
move. If Dewey is democrat We
will venture to say he has some breadth
of view. Was Hancock, or Rosecrans,
or Mcpherson less entitled to the credit
they earned as great military men be-
cause they were democrats? If it now
turns out that Dewey is republican,
as it seems it will, we shall see if Bro.
Allen will acknowledge that fact and
still give him the full credit he deserves.
We may see whether his rule will work
both ways.
