A TERRIBLE episode has occurred IN
the history of this cOuntrv-an cpl
sode so criminal that the glory Of war
and victory has been dimmed by the
wrath caused by the wrongs and suf-
ferings of the soldiers who have
fought the war and achieved the glory.
We see men starved and fe-
ver-stricken because their govern
ment has not the capacity TO take care
of them, and even seems Indifferent to
their sufrcrings. If the peo-
pie of this country permit this scandal
to find grave before some one is pun
ished, they viii thereby make them
selves accOmplices of the crime.-Har-
per's Weekly, Sept, 1898.

with his injunction getting, William
Barrett Ridgely with his stockades
surrounding his anti-high-wages roll

men were striking against reduction

attorney of this labor-crUshing corpo-

place of Butler for that reason. Ev-

Three Aids to the democracy.

Philadelphia Ledger Crep.)
There are sufficient reasons for fear
that the democrats may succeed in
their efforts to elect a majority of the
representatives of the Fifty-siXth con-
gress. The first is that when the
members of the present house were
elected the democrats were divided on
the currency question. In the pres
ent congressional campaign they are
again virtually united party in near
~ all parts Of the country. The see
ond reason is that many loyal repub-
Leans are opposed to the administra-
tons policy of territorial expansion.
a third cause of dissatisfaction is to
be found in the blunders and offenses
of the war department, which the
administration has not only con doned
but attempted to justify by retaining
Secretary Alger at his post.

OF the referendum we have an IL
lustration this fall applying to the
legislature itself, rs the people viii be
called on to pass on proposed
amendment 20 the constitution.
The legislature can pass an amend
ment TO the constitution. but does
not become n law until it is referred
to the people and they by vote adopt
it. This is the referendum. 1t is
now proposed to have the initiative
and referendum apply to all legisla-
tive acts. 1t is the greatest reform
now being agitated, and the demo-
cratic party deserves lasting credit
for recommending it in its state plat
form. On this proposition alone the
democratic party should be returned
to power in Illinois. 1t is a reform
which restores the government to the
DeODle.

while the decrease is not as large as he
would like, the general condition is better.
A number of typhoid patients that are
now sick have contracted the disease from
being among the sick. Four cases are
among the hospital corps who have been
continually with and nursing the sick.
The Sixty-ninth New York men and

Fatality Seems to Hover over Com
pany L.
Tampa, Aug. 19.-John It. Mosely of
Quitman, a member of Company l., died
at the brigade hospital here yesterday
morning His death was from peritonitis,
resulting from typhoid fever.
The deceased only became a member of
the company about month ago and fell
i'll shortly after. He was buried this al
ternoon, a detachment from his company
firing a salute over his grave.
This makes the seventh death of mem
bers of Company L since the regiment
entered the service. Two of these had
been discharged before their deaths. A
peculiar fatality seems TO hover over Com
pany L. its mortality being greater than
all the other companies of the regiment
combined.

Outlook For Business with Mer-

Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 19-The first bales
of new cotton were marketed here yester-
day. They were raised by negro crop
ers on Mr.. Bentley's place and were both
of low grade and poorly gihned. No new
sea islands have been received here,
though a bale was shipped from Naylor
20 Savannah yesterday. 1t was grown by
Frank Williams, a few miles above Nay
lor.
Work on the Atlantic, Valdosta and
Western road continues and the line is
being rapidly extended this way. Con-
tracts have been let for ten miles of the
line and negotiations are in progress for
the other ten. 1t Is expected that the
working force will be increased as soon
as the weather permits.
