Texas Farm and Ranch: We would

Texas Farm and Ranch: We would
be pleased to. hear some explanation
of the course of the President in
appointing over our patriotic soldiers
a lot of society ninnyhammers to be
generals, over regular army officers
and West Point graduates. These
are men whose only recommendations
for military preferment are that they
are sons of millionaires, Or personal
friends of Mckinley, or ignorance of
military affairs. John Jacob Aston,
q society swell, is made Inspector
General; James G. Blaine, degen-
crate son, is "a full-fedged General;
Russ Harrison, a perfumed pig, but
son of his father, is also an Inspector
General, as ignorant of military mat
ters as he is Of things in general;
Charlie Miller, who never fired a gun,
but is son of one of the Presidents
friends, is now an Adjutant General;
Fred Alger, son of the War Secreta>
ry, never wore uniform nor gave
nor obeyed command, is also an
Adiutant Geureal; G. G. Webb, whose
only qualification for leadership has
been manifested in the mazes of New
York cotilion parties, and his relation
to the Vanderbilts; John A. Logan.
also the son of his father, whom the
Governor refused to appoint on the
ground of incompetence; L. G. Girls
comb, another incompetent; also, the
sons of other millionaires, all totally
incompetent, and without a single
military qualification. Such palpa
bic nepotism and subservience t.
wealth during actual war cannot b
too severely denounced.

Commodore Schley's engagement
with the forts covering the entrance
to Santiago harbor began under per-
fectly clear skies and was followed
by a gownpour of rain. The first
heavy firing in the Cuban war on the
Atlantic repeated the experience OF
the civil war, whose veterans practi,
cally agree in saying that battles
were followed by rain, the bigger the
battle the heavier the rain, as at
Gettysburg.

New York Sun: Yellow fever has
again appeared in the South. It
comes periodically from Cuba, bred
there of Spanish negligence.
To prevent yellow fever's annual
ravages on life and business in the
South of this country justifes us in
the expulsion of Spain from Cuba,
and will be worth the price of the
war.

poetic justice iu trouncing the Span
iards at Santiago de Cuba, where,
more than quarter Of century ago,
the Americans of the Virginius were
cowardly shot to death by their cap

is inseparable from human warfare,

That there has been a marked de-
cline in the character and reputation
of American public men is plainly
evident, even to the casual observer.
One cause is that we have grown a
wealthy, commercial and business
people. We once delighted to honor
men because they were intelligent, or
eloquent; now, it sutfices if he has
the MONEY!.

A prominent railroad official who
visited Tampa last week, said: ''The
delays attending the transportation
of troops from Tampa was caused by
the lack of ability on the part of army
quartermnsters, who seemed to be
utterly unable to properly discharge
their duties. Many carloads Of pro-
visions for troops were not handled
promptly, and in consequence their
contents were spoiled aud had to DO
thrown into the sea. There is appa.
rertly lack of quartermasters who
have thorough knowledge OF rail as
we'll as ship transportation. It is a
most important department, but the
majority of the officials are mere
politicians, and incompetent.
