tack ON Sylvester FOran.
David Crosby was turned over to the
Superior Court yesterday for his assault
on Sylvester J. Foran Thursday. The ac-
cused was unable to give bond and was,
therefore, committed to jail.
The case looks pretty bad for Crosby, as
the accounts at the police barracks indi-
cate that he was not provoked very much
on making the attack. He said he thought
he heard a rock whlz past his ear, and
on this assumption he pulled the knife
and began stabblng Foran. The latter
was too drunk 10 make any resistance,
and the result was he was probably fatally
stabbed in the abdomen. He is now in
precarious condition at the Savannah Hos
pital

DEATHS IN THE CIVIL WAR.
New York Sum-


There is nothing surprising in the ratio
which the deaths from disease in the pres
| ent war bear to the deaths from wounds re-
ceived in battle. In Col. Phisterer's statis-
teal records of the Civil war it is clearly
shown that twice as many Union soldlers
died of disease as were xii ed outright In
action, or afterward died of wounds.
In GEN Fry's report of March IT, 1866, TO
the Secretary of War, the aggregate OF men
killed OF dying of their wounds was put at
o. 1856, and the number dying of disease at
1873 2S7. there were discharged for disablh-
ty, according to this report. ,3o6, and no
doubt the deaths of a portion of these might
be traced to wounds or to disease acquired
in the service.
The Adiutaut Generals report of Feb. z,
1869, put the deaths in battle OF of wounds
at rs, 231 and the deaths from disease at
149, O43, with a reserve of 55,297 from sun
known causes Here the relative proper
lions, it will be observed, between the two
great sources of death remained about the
same as in the Provost Marshal General s
report.
The estimate of the Surgeon General in
his report of Nov. IL, 1870, was 49, 40S kille d
in action, and 1926 dying of wounds, or an
aggregate of 8i,el3 against 1926 dying of
disease. there, again, We have the same
result of fully twice as many dying of dis
ease as were killed outright OF died of their
wounds Col. Phisterer notes that the many
who died while prisoners or at home OH
furloughs are not included in the Surgeon
Generals figures, and also that while that
officer is the more likely to be right as to
deaths from wounds or disease on which his
subordinates report, the Adjutant Gen eral
is the better authority as to deaths in battle
He therefore combines the two records in
an estimate Of a, 23S killed in battle, and
As, 205 dying of wounds, making a total o.
SO, 443, against 1876, 216 dying of disease. h.
adds "a. 1874 deaths from unknown causes an
52e from suicide, homicide or execution,
getting a total of 3O4,S69. 1t is noticeable
that the War Departments own summary
was 3O3,504. Col. Phisterer would allow,
however about 10000 deaths for those who
were missing and never accounted for as
prisoners or otherwise, and who almost GER
tainly had not deserted. This would swell
his total to 81, 900, or ''about II per cent. OF
the number of men who were enrolled dur
ing the war;
This great mortality, enormously greater
th'll tlat Oh our CONNECT Win SPAN, was
,, due to the length of the Civil war, which in
Guided large number OF severe battles.
In the total Of more than two thousand en-
gagements and other operations there were
scores where the loss in killed and wounded
on the Union side alone ran into the thou
sands, while in some great battles it ex-
ceeded 10000. Again, many Union regiments
were in the enemy's presence for long peri
DDS, from six months to four years engaged
more or less frequently whereas only a
small portion of our troops in the present
war have been under fire at all on account

The doctrine of protection which has
been frequently endorsed by the Ameri-
can people and which undoubtedly com.
mands a larze majority today, rests upon
the assumption that it is the duty of the
government to look ont first for the COM
fort and welfare OF its own people even
to the extent Of discriminating against
the people OF other countries. We erect
a barrier against the products of the
foreign working man, not because he is
not worthy person, but because as he
will work for less price than our own
,sboring man the admission on equal
terms of th3 things he makes would
either drive our workingman out of
business or compel him to accept lower
wages TO place obstacles in the way of
the foreign workingman, to handicap
him by tariff duties, is considered per-
fecty legitimate, and not only legitimate
but praiseworthy by the great mass of
tho American people who hold that the
first duty Of the American government is
10 protect the interests of it's own people.
But a great many people who have all
their lives been protectionists and have
supported this policy Of discrimination
against the foreigner, have suddenly dis
covered that we owe it as duty to man
kind to tax our people to the extent of
$50, 900. 600 year, and send hundred
thousand of our young men to Manila to
confer the blessings of freedom and good
Governments upon the semi uarbarous in
habitants of the Philippines. They say it
would be extremely selfish OF MS to refuse
to share the blessings which we enjoy with
the EiIipinos; that we have duty to per-
form, to those far away brett rem. The
brotherhood of man idea demands that
we sacrifice our own people-their lives
and their property if need be-to bless the
people of these islands. The devout an
nexation1st is quite sure that Providence
has led US to tho philippines and that it
will be an affront to Providence for
which we shall suffer in the future not
to stay there.
If it be the correct doctrine that in this
business we must consult first the welfare
OF the people in Asia and second our own,
that the latter must be subordinate to the
former. how can we consistently continue
to discriminate against the foreign work
ingman in favor of our own? Isn't 1t
quite as much our duty to contribute to
tho happiness and prosperity OF the
European workinglnan by placing his
goods on an equality with those ct our
own in our market, as it is to tax our
selves for the benefit of the Asiatic popu-
lation? But if tits our duty to consult first
the welfare and comfort of our own peo-
Die in one case isn't it our duty
also to do so in the other?

IF the breyity of the struggle and by far the

IF the breyity of the struggle and by far the
greatest part have never left the country.
1t will therefore be seen, that an addition
al reason exists in the present instance for
a great disparity between the deaths from
disease and those from battle and wounds.
1t NAV be said with some truth that since
the vast majority of our troops not only
have never encountered the enemy but have
been at home in camps of our selecting in
stead of those imposed by the enemy's pres
ence the loss from disease should be proper
tionally less than in the Civil war but on
the other hand all the fighting in
the civil war was in our country
and no one doubts the deadli-
ness OF the Cuban climate in midsummer to
those unused to it. We also had to establish
some camps very far south as at Tampa,
where the best of health conditions at TINS
season are not possible.
There were treated in tn army hospitals
by medical officers during the Civil war
6,049, 64S cases, and the record of deaths may
suggest that campaigning then brought on
very much the same sort of ailments as
now, except that the fear OF yellow fever
cut no such figure then as it has this year.
The largest number of deaths among the
patients, SO, $40 was from gunshot wounds.
Next came chronic diarrhoea, 3u,s36, with
acute diarrhoea adding 4,291 to the general
class and acute dysentery 5,576. Third came
typhoid fever, 1886, with $500 ascribed to
typhoid malarial fever, 1855 to remittent
and 4,164 to congestive intermittent. Fourth
highest were the deaths from Inflammation
OF the lungs, 1871. There were 7,05S deaths
from small pox and varioloid, and 5,177

PLANTATION. The war department was
anxious about General Shafter, and may
have been afraid, as inoeed was the gen.
eral public, that he was not quite equal to
the task before him, and SO General Miles
was sent to have a general oversight and
straighten things out if it became neces
sary. At the same time the department
NAV have teen anxious not to wound the
feelings of General Shafter who had Tdone
some gallant and successful fighting and
may have sent the dispatch to him saying
that he was not superseded by Miles for
this reason. This is not merely Ia posi-
BILE explanation of the conflicting orders

General Miles's statement does not seem
to us to be Of much consequence. But

that it was the only way to save it from
destruction was utterly neglected is
serious, and needs an answer.
