planting Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john, as purchasing agent for the gov
eminent in the buying Of transports
Prices to the government for sea-goiDg
transports at once went up
On the promotion Of Shafter We Gull
the following:
Secretary Alger is one Of the strong
est men in the cabinet IN point OF in
fuenee. He is so blandIy insistent
that President Mckinley cannot with
stand him. How otherwise can the
elevation OF Shafter-Pecos Bill Shat
ter-to a generals position be explain
ed? Shafter is the most remarkable
combination Of grossness and incaPac-
ity that ever disfigured an army estab-
ishmeDt. He is not only rude in man
ner but ignorant, and as to morals IS
unspeakable. For years he was senior
colonel of the army, and for his sins
expected to die in that rank. His
name was presented to succeeding
presidents for promotion, but succeed
ing presidents recoiIed. Away back,
when Shafter was in command at Ft.
Clark, Texas, he assaulted a negro girl
The girl came clamOrOus to the courts
for satisfaction. Somehow and in
some way the matter was settled; that
is, the criminal prosecution was pre-
vented. But the record still exists in
the war department. Even Cleveland,
whose past is not so clear as many
past one may meet, could not approve
Skaters application for promotion.
Yet this man was raised in grade by
President Mckinley! I doubt if the
president knew his past. Shafter is
from Michigan, and so is the secretary
of war. That accounts for the pro-
motion and for the selection Of Shat
ter to command the Santiago expedit-
ion. His history making is known.
Never was there such a lamentable ex-
hibitiOn OF inability. He was put for
ward and preferred over Miles, the
preux chevalier Of modern times.
Miles is every inch a soldier, notwith-
standing his fatal addiction to the bath
tub and his reprehensible habit Of
wearing a clean shirt daily. Alger put
the Unspeakable, forward to
win the Lieutenant Generals straps,
which are hanging upon the event Of
this war. Miles, the senior major gen
eral and commander Of the army, was
Years ago Miles spoke
of Alger as a soldier. He
had some reason for doing so, for Al
gers resignation was accepted but six
teen short hours before the charges of
cOwardice and desertiOn in the face Of
the enemy, to which Sheridan, Merit
and Custer had fixed their names.
reached the war Office. Alger never
forgot the charges, nor forgave the
men who made them. Shortly after
his installation as war chief, Merritt
called at his Office to make a formal
call
"HOw are you. General?" cried Alger,
with nervous hilar1ty, extending the
joyous hand. Those old charges are
wiped out now, aren't they, Merritt?''

Al, overlooking the hand. So Merritt |

That somebody bIundered at Santi-
ago is evident, and that Shafter is the
nan is also evident.

Our idea Of n boiler Is the man who
breaks faith with his political associates,
who repudiates a contract for which he
is a party. He does not perform what he
would expect OF others II the conditions
were reversed. AS we understand IL. con-
ventions are held for the purpose OF as
certaining the Will OF the party and unit
ing its members On policies and Candi-
dates. 1t is presumed that all are agreed
upon general principles, though there
may be diverse views as to policies and
candidates. But when men submit their
views TO the arbitramcnt OF the party
courts, they must abide by the decision.
Those who will not pledge themselves to
do so have no right to enter a demo-
cratic convention. Discussing this point
in the spring OF 1892 The Charlotte OBJ
server said: I'm this case the test is
entirely simple. Are you a democrat?'
Yes DO you intend to act with the
democratic party and support It's nomi-
neeS and platform. state and rationale
Yes You are eligible: come In That
IL all. Isn't that fair and just? Many an
honest man might answer No to both
of these questions. but no honest man
who answers No to either OF them could
claim to have "A light to enter into demo
cratic councils or the right to help nomi-
nate democratic candidates or to write
democratic platforms. any more than he
who has no church connection can claim
a place at the communion table. "-Iteids-

HOSPITAL I
Arrival of the Trained Nurfe, Miss Lula
Leggett-Work Soon to be Commenced
on the New Dispensary

An experienced trained nurse, capable
OF carrying out in a comprehensive man
ner, and therefore effectively. by in
structions issued by physicians in i'm
portant cases, has been needed at the
city hospital for some time past.
This very essential need, however, is
now at an end. for Miss lula Leggett, of
Tarboro, arrived in the city yesterday
morning via the Atlantic Coast Line to
enter al once upon the duties of trained
nurse.
The idea that the services of a trained
nurse was necessary at the hospital pre-
scented itself forcibly 10 the minds of
Mayor S. p. Wright, NJ. D. and Colonel
F. w. Fo-ter. chairman of the board OF
county commissioners, some time ago.
These two gentlemen laid the matter
before the hospital board, of which they
are members. and the board of regents,
and both bodies heartily approved of the
idea.
AS to how and when the services OF
Miss Leggett were o~btainable, readers OF
The Messenger are thoroughly familiar
as that information was published
in these columns ten days ago.
Miss Leggett comes highly recommend
ed as a trained nurse of superior ability
and one in every way familiar with ant
efficient in every branch of her chosen
profession. She is a graduate OF the Belle.
vue scool of training, New York city.
