The Soldiers Suffering.

In the interesting letter published
today in the REFLECTOR and written
by L. c. Davis of the First cavalry
band are gaven some revelations
from an undoubtedly authoritative
source concerning The treatment of the
soldiers on transports en- route home
from Santiago. 1t is a gloomy pict-
ure he draws and the suffering Of the
soldiers will be deeply regretted by
every citizen Of this republic. Even
in camp at Montauk Point where all
should have been in readiness for the
coming Of the sick soldiers confusion
reigned for many days and cost many
lives. Blankets and food were stored
in freight houses and not taken to
camp because nobody had specific
orders as to what should be done. 1t
was not until Secretary Alger visited
the camp in person and to the alarm
and establishment Of the adherents Of
complicated military regulations rip.
ped several thousand yards Of red
tape and hurried things to proper
condition that the soldiers had the
treatment they deserved. There has
been much difficulty in handling SO
many troops on short notice, the ter
rible Cuban climate was very hard on
the soldiers, everything was to be
done in rush and the interminable
red tape Of military affairs added to
the delays. Out Of it all came much
suffering but all did the best they
could. The country should give
thanks that President McKinley's
wisdom prevented sending a volun-
teer army Of 100000 men into the
fever swamps around Havana. Then
there would have been some terrible
results!
The boys are home now on Ameri-
can soil and are getting well. They
will soon regain strength and health
and the war has ended with the full

1t was unfortunate that Governor
Leedy should have put the Kansas
troops in the field on the basis OF
politics rather than upon the fairer
one Of fitness. With the exception OF
Mr.. Funston, not Republican was
appointed and 1t Is freely said that he
only bot in on the expectation that he
would soon resign and leave the
colonelcy to Mr.. Little. That he re-
fused has been no doubt very agra
waiting to the lieutenant colonel. The
Populists seem to have the idea that
regiment can BIO run with the same
abandon and recklessness Of rules
that characterizes a free silver con-
vention but Uncle Sam does not do
business that way. Take the list OF
Leedy's Populist appointments as a
whole there does not seem to be much
to be proud Of in their record. The
war governor is not exactly in posi-
ton to criticise the appointments Of
the War department.

Our WAR Governor

Even the defenders Of Gov. Leedy
have ceased apologizing for the "war
governor" in his course regarding the
management Of military anairs. Bad
as has been his administration OF civil
matters he has been far less capable
in the role Of a controller Of troops.
The Newton Kansan sums up a few
of his mistakes in concise manner.
1t says: Leedy was too busy select
ing his Pop favorites for the regimen
tai offices to give any attention to the
wants Of the boys in camp. After
some weeks of suffering and after the
patriotic women had collected lot
of blankets, then one night this man
suddenly bethought himself of a
grand stand play and so rushed off to
camp and tramped around in the mud
distributing some of these blankets
to the boys. OF course he was care
full to have this great act paraded at
full length in the paper the next day.
He deserves credit for this act, even
II it was done for political effect, and
we commend him for it. 1t did help
some Of the boys to keep warm that
night but the parade Of it next day in
the papers shows the motive that
prompted the act.
He had two organized regiments
that did have tents and blankets and
camp equipments and fully organized
hospital corps, but these he ignored
because to call them out made no
room for his Littles and his Browns
and his Smiths and his Harveys. II,
however, this great war governor had
given even little attention to Camp
Leedy, how many days Of mud and
slop and nights Of cold and chill he
might have saved the members Of the
Twentieth, Twenty-frst and Twenty
second. The whole patriotic State
would have cheered and commended
any reasonable expenditure Of state
money that would have added to the
comfort and appearance Of our SOL
der boys.
Now this man, after he thinks the
war is over, poses As war governor;
criticises the president and the secre-
tary OF war and boasts in a public
speech as well as in private CONVEX
sation, about how he compelled the
administration to knuckle down TO
him. The gall Of this man must have
been inherited. Certainly it could
not be acquired in bis IS years Of
existence.

that the war has been good deal of

Lot tho Boys Come Home.


The soldiers Of the Goth regiment
want to come home. They are not
to be sent to Manila or Honolulu or
anywhere else and can see no reason
their for remaining in camp. There
is none. But the officers, appointees
Of Gov. Leedy, are holding them by
denying to the boys the right Of petit
tion-au outrageous proceeding,
A soldier from that regiment
writes:
'Recognizing the fact that owing
to the giving out Of false reports by
persons who profit by the continuance
Of the volunteers in the service in
time Of peace, the public is made to
believe that 1t Is the desire Of the vol
unteers to stay in the service, |
wish to correct this impression. Hail
ing from the ranks | am in position
as q member OF the Twentieth Kan
sas, to say that over ninety-fve per
cent Of men are eager to be dis
charged since there is no more pros
pect Of them serving the country in
protecting her honor. A petition
was started by the men asking TO be
discharged. as it was reported that
the officers had sent word to WASH
ington that 1t is our wish to remain
in the service. The work had pro-
ceeded but a little way when some Of
the company officers threatened the
men with severe punishment If they
went on with the petition as stated.
The powers assumed by the officers
in the army are far greater than
most people suppose. A few weeks
ago private in company M was pun
ished and non-commissioned officer
narrowly missed being reduced on
account Of writing to their home
papers more Of the truth than the
officers cared to have the public
know"
This letter is postmarked from the
Preside and signed "a soldier" as the
writer Is afraid to reveal his name for
fear that he will be put in the guard
house.
The great difficulty that there is to
contend against is the greed and av-
arice Of the Pop officers in command
Of the regiments. The salary Of
colonel Is u, 900; that Of q lieutenant
colonel, $500; major, $4,000; first
lieutenant, 81, 800; second lieutenant,
$l,4OO. The private gets 1885 a
month or tlS7.S0 a year. Further
more, the commissioned officers have
their own mess, where they can get
what they want to buy, while the
private has the simple fare Of hard
tack and beans.
The officers are in the army as they
are in politics for the money there
is in 1t and want to hang on to the
job as long as possible.
As many Of the privates enlisted
from patriotic motives, leaving jobs
with good salaries to serve their
country for nearly nothing, they are
anxious once again to take up their
business pursuits where the chances
for them are equal to those Of the
men who are now wearing the shoul.

Dickinson county is paying some
pretty heavy bills nowadays as costs
in criminal cases brought in the past
few months and which resulted in
acquittals and most Of which should
never have been brought at public
expense. 1t is also bearing a part of
Saline county's court expense burden.
This may be our Populist county at
torney's idea Of looking after the in
terests Of the people but it is hoped
that he will not feel it incumbent on
himself to add any more counties to
bis list. The taxpayers Of Dickinson
can BY going . little deeper in their
pockets than usual pay for unneces-
sary criminal prosecution in two
