THE NEGLECT OF THE SOLDIERS
Opinions Upon the Round Robin.

OpiniOnS upon tHc NOuHu NODius
Can these things properly be char
acterized by any other term than
that of wanton neglect? Do they
merit any milder punishment than
that OF a wholesale court martial,
and in the end a searching and honest
legislative exposure A vigorous
course of action on this line certainly
would be more effective prepara-
ton for the proper conduct of war
in the future than millions spent on
armament.- Boston Globe.
1t is a terrible arraignment of Of
fetal stupidity that has hardly
precedent. And Gen. Ames, appar-
emily despairing help from the war
department, telegraphed to an Of
fetal of the navy department that
this army is incapable, because of
sickness, OF marching anywhere, ex.
cept to the transports. Ifit is ever
to return to the United States it
must do so at once" "a full list Of
the sick" he said to a correspondent,
would mean copy OF the roster of
every company here" AS result Of
all this the war department officials
have been sufficiently aroused from
their torpor to say that they "have
made plans" and that they intend to
do something las soon as the re-
sources of the department will per-
nit" In the meantime the soldiers
are advised to continue hoping. E.
The protest will have to be needed.
The army must be brought away,
and at once. Already it is said that
one transport is on the way. But
even when these brave men have
been brought to a place of safety
where they can slowly recover from
the poison implanted in their systems,
the American people will have an &C.
count to settle with those respon-
sible for this worse than cruel,
this criminal neglect Philadelphia
Times.
Without question the action of the
generals and medical officers who
signed the "round robin" at Santa
60, is a serious breach of official Ell
quette. In fact, it would probably
subject these officers to military dis.
cipline in any other country. But the
United States is not like any other
country, and this war is not like any
other war. A war for humanity
which is inhuman in it's treatment oil
the soldiers who are fighting it is a
gross anomaly and contradiction
and commanders who protest in be.
half of their armies sacrificed to off

ought to produce. To the wind
with official etiquette! When oul
soldiers, our citizens, bone of oul
bone and flesh of our flesh, are being
wantonly sacrificed by the inefficien

is what the "round robin" of tn,

DEAR CALEDoNIAN:-Doubtless you
have been advised before this OF the
provisional expedition soon to be
sent to Porto Rico under the com
mand OF General Wade, and in
which the LIST Vermont is to be
included. There is little which can
be given by the rank and file, at least,
in the way of information regarding
the movement, beyond that which is
found in the papers, but as the sub
ject is one of paramount interest
here just now, word in regard to it
may not be out of place. That plans
for such an expedition have been
made, and the regiments to be in.
Guided chosen, is officially known,
but just when they are to be moved,
and what is the plan of campaign
which has been formulated, can only
be guessed at.
That powerful pressure has been
brought to bear upon the war de,
partment in behalf of the Vermont
troops is certain, and among officers
and men the belief is constantly gain.
ing ground that unless some unfore-
seen event occurs to change the pres
ent plan, we are sure to be given a
place at the front in the not distant
future.
In view Of the peace negotiations
now in progress, anything like a
serious campaign seems improbable
for US, but in this world of uncer-
tainties nothing is more uncertain
than the life Of the soldier, and we
do not presume to prophesy as to
the future. Of course we are waiting
impatiently for something more def
mite, and until it comes, all discus
sion of the matter is mere conjecture
Corporal Lynn J. Allen has been
granted a Through of thirty days or
account Of sickness, and leaves foi
St. Johnsbury tomorrow. Suffering
and disease have left their imprint
and the boy who goes back is but 6
shadow of the one who came some
three months ago, but we are expect
ing that month at home will dc
wonders for him. An honest, manly
fellow, unsel6sh to a degree, his alb
sence from the company, especially al
this time, is a matter of regret tC
all. Papers for the discharge of tire,
others-Privates Chalmers, Newton
and Heath-have been put in circu
lation and all will be granted event
ually. These men are convalescent
but will be unable to stand the hard
ships of campaign.
Company D posed for their pictur
yesterday and very good one it is
too. A glance will show that Their
is a discrepancy between the tota
avoirdupois which left the state ant
that now visible. But though tn
flesh has vanished, the spirit has not
as we hope to prove before we g
home.
We expect that the coming weel
will bring an end of uncertaintie
and determine definitely our move

part of the valley. They are much sweeteT, we think" When asked if he
 had planned any measure to present to the assembly, the chaplain said that there are q number of things he pro- poses to talk about, but his main aim this winter will be to lend his sup port to all measures which are of direct interest to the people eff the county and territory.
 HOW IT WAS DONE-The mystery of the late city jail break is no longer mystery. It was not accomplished by means of a duplicate key in the hands of tall man in black, as some of the remaining prisoners who did not want to go said. The manner of the delivery was exceedingly simple. The bottom of the door was sprung open wide enough for Fred Holder, a small youth, to be pushed through into the jailOr's room. He got the key which is kept hanging in conspicuous place. The door was unlocked and all the prisoners who cared to go went out. The door was relocked and the key was hung in its accustomed place. The boy who performed this feat is the one whose presence on the chain gang has been arousing indignant pity in the breasts or merclIul souls. 1n6y InOuSn nL he was too young and innocent to be harshly treated. It was his boast that he had been in almost every jail of consequence in California and wanted to carry on his prison investigation throughout the southwest as far as Fl Paso.
 HE TRIED TO SUICIDE An old man tried to commit suicide by shoot ing, at the Lazeola sisters road house. east of town, yesterday morning. When one of the sisters called him between 6 and in the morning he replied that some one had struck him on the head. At noon Le was called again. This time he said he had been shot by some one from outside the window. An ex- animation showed a bullet hole near the right temple. The ball had ranged downward and had probably lodged iE the cheek bone. There was no re- volver in sight, but the old man subse- quently produced one from beneath the mattress on which he lay. One cham Der was empty. He explained that he had discharged it at a chicken the day before. He would not admit an at tempt at suicide. It is uncertain whether he will recover The old mai. had been living at the road house for some time working for his board. He had lived in and about Phoenix for four years and is 2 nurse by profession.

Pruning RaSpberries.

A great saving of time can be
made in the fruit farm by winter
pruning. If the snow is not too
deep the gardener can cut out all
old wood from his raspberry plan
tation, and have it burned. He can
at the same time shorten in his red
raspberry canes, cutting off the
weak ends a little so as to throw all
the strength into the plump vigor-
Gus buds, and thus secure an album
dance OF large berries. The black
caps need cutting back in the grow
ing season, because they are more
vigorous in growth, and will throw
out numerous side shoots which
will fruit abundantly the following
season. This would not suit the
red raspberry, because it is less Wig
orouS, and the small side branches
would be too weak to give fine
fruit, and therefore should be for
the most part discouraged.

Null hing Strawberries.

It is a general practice among
truit growers, especially those in
localities where the winters are Sc
we're, TO give their strawberry beds
some kind OF mulch after the
ground becomes frosen in the fall.
The mulch serves for several
purposes, winter protection to the
plants, summer conservation OF
moisture. cleanliness OF berries and
subjugation OF seeds during the
fruiting season.
1t may be OF clean straw. marsh
hay or forest leaves. Fine marsh
hay or leaves is the best, but one
must be governed by the variety
and cost of the material at hand,
especially an extensive grower but
whichever material is used, i,
should be free from foul seeds, and
be evenly distributed over the
plants that the plants are not
smothered.
