Secretary Ayers Defense.

The secretary of war recognizes the
widespread and very serious criticism of
the management of his department by a
somewhat elaborate explanation. Boiled
down TO u sentence 1t is confession, or
statement that he and his subordlnatcs
were swampcd by the size OF the task
laid upon them. or course the bottom
blame for the vast amount of needless
loss of life and suffering endured by the
troops must rest on Congress, which rush
cd the nation into war before any ade-
quate preparation for war had been made.
With that granted, the fact remains that
the disclosures of incompetency, jobbery
and neglect of duty in several depart
ments OF the army, which have been and
are daily appearing. are simply appalling
ana 1t will be quite impossible TO per-
suade the people that with thoroughly
competent men at the head Of the Quar-
termasters, Subsistence and Medical de-
partments of the army, n large part of
the suffering, sickness, delays and distress
to which the men have been subjected IN
camp and in the field, might not have
been avoided. Doubtless more or less CT
the Ddrnc DclOnRS 10 generals anu CUT
onels and men In subordinate positions
but with men of the right stamp at the
head such incompetents would have beer
TO good extent held to their duty OF
made to give place to better men. Weak
ness and ineffcicncy at the top, filters
down through all the lower strata of ar
army Men Of commanding ability, higl
sense OF duty, stern integrity and stronl
purpose, at the head. inspire like quail
ties in the men below them. Under al
the circumstances the army has been for
/ tunate in coming out as well as 1t has
as regards the results of the war. Tha
these results might have been secured a
far less cost OF life and suffering and
treasure many fair-minded and intelligcn
persons all over the land fully believe
! Excuses and explanations make poo
substitute for performance OF duty. Thu
boys in the ranks and line officers have
done their duty, and by their courage anc
patient endurance have supplemented
and overcome the defects Of their superb
ors. For the needless sufferings the,
have endured the men responsible there
for, ought in due time to be called to ;
stern reckoning, beginning at the top.

Our Soldier BOYS nj Home

The members of the First Vermont
Regiment are again in their native State,
and all Vermonters will rejoice that they
are thus to enjoy an opportunity to re-
gain their health and strength in our
pure, invgoratlng air and amid healthful
surroundings. Tho people of Vermont ex-
pected that our troops would be obliged
TO undergo hardships and sufferings and
possibly offer up their lives, for such are
some of the penalties Of war; but when
1t became certain that the services of our
soldiers would not be needed in further
war operations, owing to the cessation OF
hostilities, their return was generally de-
sired. If there had been further fighting
to be done, Vermont would have been the
last State to ask for tho return of her
troops But when the conditions prcva.
lent at Chickamauga became generally
known there was instant demand for a
change In their location.
If doubt as to the wisdom of this move
ment pervaded the minds of any of the
people who watched the return of the
troops at Fort Ethan Allen, it must have
been dissipated by the sight of the long
hospital train, crowded with over 200 of
our brave boys, or nearly one-quarter of
the regiment, Scores of the soldiers were
unable to leave the cars without assist
ance, and a number were moved only with
the aid OF stretchers The pinched and
drawn faces of all of the troops on the
train told a tale more eloquent than
words, of suffering and pain resulting
from their struggle with unsanitary sur
roundings in an enervatng climate. No
one who saw them could regret that the
war department was asked to send them
home.
But not all of our soldiers are sick and,
being Vermonters. 1t is natural that those
who are At for duty should express re-
greet that they had no opportunity for &C
tive service in the field. All of our people.
and especially the veterans of the Union
army, will appreciate this feeling on the
part of our troops. But 1t was not the
fault of the First Vermont Regiment that
It remained in camp three months amid
conditions which rendered service In the
field far preferable. In responding to the
call for troops and Offering their services
and their lives they showed that they
were true patriots. They demonstrated
their bravery when they volunteered. and,
leaving behind business, home, wives and
mothers and sisters ana friends, started
for the front II they had been given an
opportunity to fight, none would have re-
joiced more than they; but now that peace
has come. we are all glad to have our SOL
der boys at home once more. and proud

MIR. Hay NOT TILE FIRST.

Mr.. Hay Is not the first OF our renresen-
tatives abroad to be recalled to accept
the position OF secretary of state. Jeffer-
son was brought back from France by
Washington to become the first secretary
of state in the new government. The next
instance was that of James Monroe who
was recalled from England to become
Madson's secretary Of state. When Mon
roe succeeded to the presidency in 1917, ne
appointed John Quincy Adams, who was
then the American minister at St Peters,
burg, his secretary of state. Louis Nc
Lane, who was minister to France, be-
came Jacksons third secretary of state.
and was summoned from Paris to take
the position. There are also instances in
our history where those who had been
secretaries of state were aftcrward APP
pointed to foreign missions, Van Buren,,
who was Jacksons first secretary OF state
was sent as minister to England and
James Buchanan, who had been secretary
of state under President Polk became
minister to England under President
Pierce. Later instances are those OF r..
b. Washburne. who was secretary Of
state under President Grant for brief
space, and was then appointed minister
70 France, and Thomas +. Bayard, who
was secretary Of state in Cleveland's first
administrator and ambassador TO Eng

SILVER GOING TO THE REAR.
(From the New York Evening PoSt)

The confusion of tongues among the
democrats touching the political issues
of the day is very interesting. We pub
lished the fact few days ago that Con-
gresham Bland had been defeated in
the Missouri State convention in his
attempt to keep the silver question to the
front. The wise Mr.. Bailey, of Texas,
who urged on the war against Spain and
strained himself badly in his efforts to
secure the recognition of the Cuban in
surgents. has been similarly beaten in
the State convention of his party. Like
Mr.. Bland he wanted to keep the silver
question foremost, and to this end he OPP
posed territorial expansion and Philip
pinsm with all his might. The conven-
ton took the opposite view, and showed
that it considered the silver question a
matter OF secondary Importance. Mr..
Bailey's own district convention followed
the example of the State convention.
These are only two out of large number
of straws showing which way the wind
blows in the democratic party. The sill
yer question is absolutely lifeless at pres
ent. Whether it can ever be resuscitated
is extremely doubtful. In our opinion it
will never trouble the country again.

tboir
Fix the RcsponsibiIity,

The more the people learn about tho
manner in which the sick among the
Vermont troops were treated in hospitals
the more indignant they become. Various
reports are current as to the parties re-
sponsible for this condition of affairs, but
nothing except an investigation made Of
ticially can satisfactorily fix the blame.
When the responsibility for the horrible
experiences reported is established moth
ing except the punishment of the man or
men to be held accountable will satisfy
the people of Vermont. 1t Is enough to
offer ones life against the enemy without
being obliged to yield 1t up on account of
the criminal carecssness or indifference
of those who should be friends.

a State laboratory.

The Importance OF the work done for the
State Board of Health as we'll as for va
rous towns by DR.. ]. II. Linsley has come
TO be thoroughly appreciated, and move
ment is on foot to secure the recognition
of his work IN such manner as to make
his services available for the entire State.
1t will be remembered that laboratory
was fitted up in this city scme time since
under the auspices OF the State Board of
Health II is now proposed to secure
small appropriation for the laboratory
and some idea of the manner in which the
project is viewed in other parts of the
State can be gained from the following
extract from a letter contributed to the
columns Of the CALIFORNIAN by Dr. w. j.
Aldrich health officer of St. Johnsbury:
There Is to be bill introduced in the
coming session of the Legislature asking
for an appropriation Of money to establish
and conduct at Burlington laboratory
which shall be open TO the free use OF
Vermonters. In this laboratory examina-
lions Will be made for the germs of dph-
iberia, consumption, etc. Drinking water
will be tested, and other tests made which
physicians cannot make themselves, which
they have been sending away to be made,
and for which their patients have had to
pay. Such a laboratory will be of service
to every person who is sick or who
may be sick, and that means ALL There is
no more important bill TO come before the
Legislature than this, and no man can so
ably represent our towns interest in this
matter as a physician. For this reason

TWO NATIONS UNITED.

wv rltten Dy Il boy aged l0.I
Twas far back over a century
At Lexington minute men stood,
Aud opposed the coming of redcoats.
And shed their good hearts blood.
Two nations fought each other,
Engaged in deadly strife,
The farmers forsook their ploughs,
and horses.
Took leave OF family and wife.
And many Il homo was darkened,
For death with unsparing hand,
Took father, brother and loved ones,
From among the patriot band.
But soon sweet peace opened her wings,
Der all our land and sea,
And every heart and bosom throbbed.
With the song of liberty.
On the day when our independence.
Was declared through every cline,
Twas then the bells of Liberty.
Sent forth their merry chime.
Then rose our great Fourth of July"
So dear TO every heart,
When the bonhres and the torches.
Have SO important "A part.
But now n hundred years later,
Then all Is changed Alright,
The two nations are united,
And it's a pleasant sight.
To see the stars OF "Old Glory"
With the cross OF the Union Jack wave,
Side by side in a martial procession,
OF manhood both loyal and brave,
Then may we e'er be united,
The red and the blue as one,
AS they were in the year or "

and insist that they BIO given control of
the Philippines, even though they are I'M
able to guarantee security for the lives
and property of all residents regardless
of nationality, our government is placed in
an equivocal position.
According to the latest advices from
Manila, Aguinaldo demanded that he be
placed at the head of affairs In the Phil
ippnes outside of the city after the fall
OF Manila, and made other demands, but
Gen. Merritt is said to have compromised
with the insurgent leader by allowing him
to assume temporary control of all terri
tory in the group outside of the city of
Manila. 1t is also stated that Aguinaldo
was able to secure this compromise
through his control of the city's water
supply.
Aguinaldo is probably not a great lead
err, but he is plainly possessed of suf-
flcient cunning and ability combined to
enable him to make our retention of any
territory in the Philippines unpleasant for
the time being. He knows that our gov
eminent must tolerate from him audaclty
and presumption which the Spanish would
not dare to exhibit and he also knows that
his future as a political and military lead
err largely depends upon the success with
which he pushes his present demands for
recognition and power
1t would be an extremely unfortunate
thing for this country to be obliged tc
resort to arms to compel tho insurgents
TO recognize the government which is de-
cidcd upon for the Philippine Islands, but
such a contingency Is not at all imposs
ible. Inasmuch as We have deprived SPAR
of her power of enforcing law ard order
in the city of Manila and vicinity, Other
nations will naturally expect this govern
ment to take measures TO insure good gov
eminent, which means the safety of theii
citizens; and even If we retain not n sin
gle foot of Philippine territory perma
nently, we will be held responsible for tn,
situation on the Island OF Luzon for a
| least a considerable time to come. Gu
government will undoubtedly insist upoi
the retention of at least a naval station
and zone of territory for its support ant
protection, but by the time We have reach
cd that point the great majority of tn
/ American people may have become con
WINGED that the possession of further ter
ritory in the Philippines would be unwise
| IL not impracticable.
