sioner o. Tie Natlonal 3ed Cfo6s
who was i passenger aboard the
OLDHAM, IN limiting Of his discoveries
of shameful neglect and mismanage-
ment of sick soldiers, said: Il don't
| care to open my mouth now. If / did,
I'd have to use profanity in describing
what | wish to tell on paper" Colonel
Gibson is to make an official report to
the Red Cross Society.
Private Ralph Harwyck, of the Penn
sylvania Volunteers, also on the
Cbdam, says of the army hospital SER
vice at Santiago: when, finally, the
men were forced to succumb to the
fever and were sent to the hospitals,
they were treated Lost shamefully.
Although dslir.ous, we were forced to
get out of our cots to watch some poor
fellow dying. Some of the men went
mad under this strain"
Private James E. Reed, Company X,
Sixteenth Pennsylvania, called cut to
Governor Hastings, as the latter was
leaving the OLDHAM: "For Gods sake
Governor, don't leave us!" Reed was
too sick TO be removed from the Obdam
and was afraid of being again left to
the ministrations of the army hospital
service.
Who, with a heart in his breast, can
read unmoved these stories of the
suffering of the invalid volunteers?
1t is notorious fact, now scarcely
denied by the most partisan and I'M
truthful defenders of Algerism, that
had it not been for the grand labors
of the noble Red Cross Society. the
suffering of the volunteer soldiers
would have been many fold worse and
intensified.
The American people will insist upon
rigid investigation of the War De-
partment, unquestionaIbly responsible
for all this, and for the deaths of nearly
ten men in peace camps on our own
American soil to one at the front.
1t is an unclean record, and has the
blood of officially murdered soldiers on
it.

Chairman Charles Tester was mere to-
day, looking after Republican interests.
lie is chairman Of the Congressional
Committee in the Second district. Lo-
cal leaders here promise MIN one
thousand majority, which is falling
off OF more than two hundred. The
Democrats are also claiming the same
result. They, however, are confident
that they can reduce the majority to
less than that. They are very we'll sat
isfied with the outlook. Discomfort
among the Republicans is very great.
One of the leading men of the county
who has been very prominent in the
party councils, was out of town when
k.kins spoke, in order to avoid being
present at the speaking. Others did
net attend, and the outlook is very
sqU3lly for the enemy NJ A. Kendall,
the State treasurer, was here tonight
and addressed the voters. He will be
in the county for several days, and will

managers TO get the enthusiasm started
are Of no avail

THE WAR AND THE ADMINISTRATIONS.
The Nation calls attention to the fact
that the war issue is a boomerang so
far as the Republican party is con-
cerned, and that it will do that party
more harm than good at the polls.
The Nation states that the Mckinley
administration would be better off if
there had been no war, owing to the
scandal of Algerism and the attempts
to whitewash Alger 1t states that this
fact is admitted by candid Republic
cans, and quotes expressions from Con-
gresham Clarke and certain admis-
sions from the Philadelphia Bulletin,
Republican. The Nations article is
calm and unprecedented and does not
misrepresent the situation.
1t is altogether probable that before
the people have done with this war
issue it will have proven very costly
to the Republican party, politically
speaking. The masses of the Ameri-
can people do not favor the Republic
can policy of Imperialism and terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. They can see
nothing in that policy but the
promise of milestone about the neck
of the American taxpayer, big stand
ing army, such as European nations
must support constantly, the increase
of militarism in the United States,
whose people are essentially peaceful
and commercial and industrial vastly
heightened dangers of international
complications and a perilous parting
from the principles of American policy
as laid down by the founders of our
government, the trainers of the Consti-
tuition.
A Congressional investigation of
Algerism, which the election of Dem
ocratic Congress alone will bring about,
would complete for the Republican
leaders the boomerang effect of the re-
cent war Such investigation is ex-
tremely likely, and it is not strange
that many thoughtful Republicans are
anxious to abandon the war issue and
tempt party fate on other issues less
menacing. Patriotic heroics with a
government scandal beneath are not
very safe campaign material.
An honest investigation before the
election would result in throwing the
Republican party out of power in Con
gress by unprecedented majorities al
alcng the line. Some of the revelation:
Of Algerism are simply heartrending

10 b Used BY Governor Tanner, 10
Saoo to Pieces Any Train Carry
ing Negro Min4rs Into Illinois.

Chicago, October pa special from
Madison, Ills, says:
Il reiterate that / will not tolerate
the wholesale Importation of foreigners
into Illinois. And if hear that a mop
is to be brought iE..o this State such
as was taken into Virden, care not on
what railroad it Genes or for whom, I
will meet it at the State line and shoot
it to pieces with Calling guns.
So declared Governor Tanner in a
speech delivered in this city. 1t was
the concluding statement in an address
largely devoted to defense of his course
in the recent mine riots at Virden. The
Governor reviewed at great length the
causes leading up to rioting. He held
the operators to be at fault in their
dealings with the strikers, and then
revarl4ng to his acts when the crisis
came, said:
When the United States government
found it necessary and deemed it lust
to forbid the Importation OF foreign
labor into this country, | felt that l
was justified in the course I took at
Virden That trouble never would
have occurred if the negroes had not
been brought here to take the places
Of white men. The importations were
representatives of the scum OF the
country-ex-convict and worthless
characters generally-and the State OF
Illinois should not be made a dumping
ground for such reprobates. l DO not
propose to allow the operators to bring
these people here, ard l took what |
considered, ard still consider, the
DrOner means RI nrpVnrt If -
Then followed his uncompromising
declaration that any train entering the
State under similar conditions in the
future would be met at the border and
shot to pieces with Calling guns

Democrats are unable to get sufIi-

B. Scott quoted in an interview in

not judge Democratic meetings by what

He should attend a few Democratic

ROBBiNG THE TAXPAYERS

When more money is taken from the
pockets of the people than is needed
for the honest and economical conduct
of the government, the taxpayers are
robbed.
The taxpayers are being robbed by
the continuance of war taxes in time
of peace. When the war tax measure
was enacted the people were promised
it would be repealed with the advent
of peace. Peace is now here, vet it is
frankly acknowledged by the Commits
sioncr rIruUI mol IVUvCIuc uudC IIrco0
war taxes are to be continued indafi-
nitely, although heavy weights on
active business and extremely burden
some and annoying to the people.
According to figures at hand, covering
the city of Chicago, whereas a year
ago the internal revenue tax collected
was but $1656, OLA, for the quarter just
closed The collections were $4,035, lob,
or nearly treble. These figures hold
good proportionately the country over
1t must be borne in mind that these
taxes come on top of the proceeds OF a
sale of $500, O00,0C0 in bonds-a bend
issue never needed and made simply to
accommodate the National bank ring
and Wall street.
The result is about s35O,O00,0O0 sur
| plus in the treasury, where it lies use
less, standing invitation to Congress
sional extravaganza, when it might be
| in active use in the channels Of trade.
And this immense surplus which will
shortly pass the $500, 000,000 mark, ex-
lists in spite of the fact that the Ding
lev tariff is far behind in revenues,
being so exhorbitant ard high in its
schedules, the "protection' given the
trusts, as to be largely prohibitory
and hence a rank failure as revenue
producer.
This is the most pressing issue of the
present campaign.

PARTY WILL CONTINUE THEN
