AS IT WAS IN 'sS.

A March OF 5000 AIllos BEFORE the Luxury
ofBox Cars was ObtRinabIe.
There are thousands OF old soldiers left
who remembmer how, after four years
of lighting and marching unprecendent-
ed in this worlds history, they rejoiced
when they had the privilege of coming
home in and on box cars. When john
SON surrendered and the war closed,
Sherman's army, which was composed
Of men from the west, and In which
were many Illinois regiments was
southwest Of Raleigh in the interior OF
North Carolina Were there Pullman
cars to transport them home? No. Were
there even passenger cars Of the most
dllapldated sort? No! Not even these.
But the box cars were clean and nice,
the sympathetic ones win suggest.
Maybe they were, but they were not
there to take the men home. Their
route lay nearly 800 miles north to
Washington, and every foot Of that,
through rain and alternate bllstering
heat and chill, they marched, footsore,
though they were from winters cam
palgn OF more than 600 miles of march
and battle. It was a Joy when they
left Washington that they could get
box cars 70 ride in and on-for all could
not get in. With this sort of transport
tation they rode to the Ohio river; then
crowded on hurricane and boiler decks
Of freightboats they lay down at night
with no covering but the stars.
Arrived at Louisville, KY, where the
veterans were modified. they put up
their frayed and worn dog tents In open
fields under the burning sun, when It
shone; in the drenchlng rain when 1t
fell. There was no extra accommoda-
Stion for the sick, even though the war
was over. Indeed, the writer Of this
knows as fact that his regiment was
without even it's reGlmental surgeons.
those officers having been left behind
with the sick and wounded at Goldsboro
and Washington, and the men had to
20 to the surgeon of 0n Ohio regiment
for their "qulnine." When at last, after
weeks and weeks Of waiting through the
hot month of June and into July, the
regiment was mustered out, the men
were again loaded on box cars and
transported up through Indiana and
across Illinois TO the vicinity Of Spring.
field, where they went into bivouac in
the hazel "rufis" and underbrush some
ten days, getting final pay and dis
charge. And from this point they went
to their various homes In the distant
parts Of the state, and some TO other
states, each paying his own car fare
and for what he ate along the way

take, without charging this patriotic,
heroic President CwhO has been for
monlhs past burasued wish q CREST re-
sponsibiHty. and who has had the SYM
pathy Of the Nadon) with lack Of sim
certify and with being inspired by po-
litcal motives.
This Is the sort Of malicious partisan
ship which the 1ntelllgencer calls atten-
ton to In commenting on the course of
certain newspapers. It Is already re-
acting on the organs engaging in It, and
is being condemned by the best men and
journals in the country. There is line
to be drawn between Just and unjust
criticism, between malicious assault or
cowardly misrepresentation and legitl-
mate and proper discussion of matters
pertaining to the conduct of certain bu-
reaus Of the war department, with calls
that they be Investigated. This line the
Republican papers named by the Reg
lister respect. President Mckinley has
not fallen short of his duties since the
war began. The country has supported
him and viii continue to do so. Mar
row-mlnded partIsanship and broad
minded justice are being exhibited in
striking contrast with each other within
the ranks OF Democratic journals Just
now.
The Register. which is so free to deny
the charge of unfair partisunship in
connection with this subject. might ex-
plain to It's readers why 1t treated as II
did the Associated Press report OF the
Grand Army of the Republic encamp-
ment, In last Saturdays issue,-why 1t
found only space enough for the resolu-
tions adopted complaining of certain
rulings of the pension commissioner,
but carefully cut out and did not per-
NIT even reference to that portion Of
the resolutions paying splendid trlb-
ute to President Mckinley and the con-
duct of the war from the beginning Of
the trouble with Spain to the present.
These resolutions were passed amid
cheers by the representatives OF an or
ganIzation of three hundred thousand
veteran soldiers of this republic. Every
newspaper in the land receiving reports
made 1t a feature of their news, in view
of the circumstances. The Wheeling
partisan organ, which Is STOPPING to
everything to prejudice thoughtless peo-
pie against the President, who stands
at the wheel, burdened with RESPONSE
bIlIties which he has faced heroIcally,
was careful to eliminate this tribute
from its report. and to display only a
complaint about pension ruling.
We only refer to this incident because
1t throws further light upon the char
acter of newspaper which assumes to
be above hypocritlcal practices.

Two Kind, Of Criticism.

The Register desires the Intelligencer
20 publish list Of Republican newspa-
pers crlticisIng Secretary of War Aiger.
This would be a proper request II the
IntellIgencer had ever contended that
Republican papers have not INDUCED in
such a criticism; It would be also proper
II It did not come from a partisan organ
which does not publish list of Demo-
cratic papers that are declining to en-
dorse and are actually rebuking the
despicable effort to make a partisan
issue OF deaths and sickness among our
soldiers.
Few respectable newspapers, II any.
are making partisan capital OF these
questions. The Republican papers and
the best element among the Democratic
papers. while critieIsIng and asking for
investigations OF the conditions, In or
der that the exact facts may be known
and the exaggerations Of the yellow
papers bo exposed, are not making poll
tiles OF the matter. They are too decent
10 base partisan cry upon such sit
uatIon. The Register. in the narrow
ness OF It's soul. cannot discriminate
between fair criticism and partisan
abuse.
ThePresldent Of the United States has
already silenced most of the dcmagoglc
partisan shoutcrs who have been abus-
ing him and incorporating his attl'
tude, and has demonstrated hlH SINGER
ity. The Inquiry ordered by him Will
not be partisan nor partial And yet
the Register cannot even comment upo-
the course he has taken, and whlci
every fair-mlnded man knew he would
