To Muster Out
AtSpringf
NOVEMBER Sd
The Day For the Final Act
Of Their Service.

Glad tidings will be announced to the
soldier boys and especially to the val
liant heroes Of the I'd regiment through
The Spy this morning when informa-
ton is given on the highest authority
that they are to be mustered out at
Springfield November Sd.
From the most reliable sources it is
now known that plans, as they exist
at present, for the mastering out of the
members of the I'd regiment. are as
follows: Zach company will report for
duty October oath at its own armory,
under the orders Of its captain. A sur
geon will make physical examination
Of the officers and the men.
From October Gath to November Sd,
the troops will be constituted on duty,
and the United States will furnish the
subsistence. On November Sd all will
be assembled at the Springfield armory
for muster out and final payments.
To the anxious hearts which have
been waiting in earnest hope the news
will come with great relief. To feel
that they are to be finally mustered
out November Sd gives more definite
prospect to the gallant heroes of the ID
regiment than they have anticipated
for a long time. 1t is thought that the
same general course will be pursued
in the mastering out of the other regi-
ments; that is that they will assemble
by companies at their respective arm
cries, be constituted on duty for a
short time, and then assembled at their
headquarters for final mastering out
The mastering out of the boys at
Springfield gives that city a great hon
or, and it will probably be the occa-
sion for grand civic pageant and eel
ebration. The brave boys will certain
~ be accorded warm and feeling re-
ception by the people of Springfield,
and the day will probably be made one
long to be remembered.
There has been some speculation as
to what course will be pursued towards
the boys who are so sick that they can
not report for duty on the 4th, whether
the surgeon will have to visit the men
Individually or whether some other less
exacting course may be adopted.
AS 1t is the boys Of the I'd are now
assured release from their martial
struggles and at Springfield will receive
the plaudits of grateful country.

Secretary Ayers Request.

The Secretary of War, Gen. Alger, and
Adjt Gen Corbin have asked the Presi-
dent to order an investigation of the war
department. The President ought not to
hesitate about granting the request. At
present very large portion of the people
think that the secretary is responsible for
all the incompetency and ignorance and
negligence in the army during the war
with Spain, and that, consequently, he is
to blame for the sickness which gained
foothold in the camps and carried off so
many of the soldiers. The secretary Is
confident that he can show that the things
of which there has been so much COM
plant cannot be charged to his account
or else he would not ask for an invest-
cation.
If it cannot be shown that the secre-
tary put incompetent men in responsible
places the country will not blame him
for the unnecessary hardships endured by
the soldiers and the diseases which got
into the camps and carried hundreds of
brave men to their graves. 1t will blame
the incompetent, ignorant and neglectful
officers-some of them belonging to the
regular army and others TO the volunteers
who were wholly unfit for the positions
which they occupied.
If the secretary is not to blame the fact
ought to be made public. The country
ought TO be informed of all the facts, so
that justice would be done to both the
guilty and the innocent. There is no way
10 discover the truth except by means of
IN fpvaetigotiOn If the pras;dapt daclipas
TO grant the secretary's request a very
large portion of the people will continue
10 think that ne is responsible for the
death of many of those who died in the
camps. Let the truth be known, and the
guilty be required to suffer the condem-
nation of their fellow citizens.

rhe Fir.t plstrlct campaign.

At present there are no good reasons
for thinking that Col. Lester, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in the First
district will have opposition, but there
is no telling what the Republican and
Popuists will do. They will put out a
candidate if they see a chance of getting
a fair-sized campaign fund to distribute.
II seems there is little talk about norni-
mating a Populist candidate, but the out
look for the success OF any kind or OPP
position to Col. Lester is so gloomy that
the talk viii amount to nothing unless,
as already stated, there is a prospect of
getting a campign fund to distribute.
We call attention to this matter mainly
for the purpose of suggesting to Demo-
Gratis in all the counties of the district the
necessity for registering. There appears
to be a great deal of apathy In most of
them. Democrats feel so certain that Col.
Lester win have no opponent that they
are not registering as generally as they
should. IT is the duty of every one of
them to register, so as to be prepared not
only for the congressional election, but
also for the state election. The Demo
cratic party cannot win big victories IN
less Democrats prepare themselves to
vote.
Col. Lester has served his district well.
Nobody could serve it better. His con-
sttuents, therefore, ought to see to it that
he is reelected by a majority that would
make him feel that his services are ap.
preciated. The Democratic newspapers of
the different counties of the district should
impress upon their readers the importance
of registering. They exert an immense
influence. If they go about the matter
earnestly they can get pretty near every
Democrat to take the trouble to put his
name on the registration books. And it is
their duty to use their influence in the
direction OF the success of their party.
which, in fact, means using their infiu-
ence for good government.
Whether Col Lester has opposition or
not he ought to be given a bigger ma
jority than he has received in any previous
election, because it is by increasing his
majorities we show him that the value
of his services is understood and that eff
forts to serve his constituents are appre-
ciata1

The Catholic religion is the religion Of
Cuba Porto Rico and the Philippines and
il viii remain the religion of those Islands
for a long time. Nevertheless, 1t is the evil
dent purpose of the Protestant churches
to make a vigorous effort to get converts
from among the islanders. The
chief reason why the ministers of
the Protestant churches are strong
advocates of the policy of ex-
panson is that they think the opportuni-
ties for spreading the Protestant religion
win be greatly increased. They do not
take into consideration the commercial ad-
vantages which it is said, would accrue
to the country by holding on to all Of the
islands which we have wrested from
Spain. or which We can wrest from her if
we are so disposed, nor do they take into
account the obligations which we may
have incurred TO the insurgents of the
Philippines or to other nations in urging
the retention of all the territory over
which our flag has been raised. Their one
thought is the carrying of the gospel to
the natives
And it is certain that the Protestant
competition with the Catholic church for
converts. The spirit by which they are
animated is shown by the remarks Of the
Rev. Henry Mcdonald, pastor of the Sec
ond Baptist Church of Atlanta on Thurs
day. at the meeting of the Stone Mountain
Association. At that meeting a resolution
was adopted recommending that $4,000 be
raised for mission work in Cuba and Porto
REQ.
If the Philippines are retained by this
country there viii be hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars annually raised for Pro-
testant mission work there and in the two
islands of the West Indies. In all of these
islands the Catholic Church has a firm
footing and it will require great efforts
to draw any considerable portion of the
native population away from it. It is evil
dent however, that efforts are going to
be made.
II would not be surprising if one of the
reasons why Mr. Justice White declined to
serve on the peace commission was the
probability that the commission might be
required to take position on religious
matters that would not be altogether pleas
ant to him. There is no doubt
that the President will instruct the
commissioners that the same sort
of religious freedom that exists in
this country shall exist in the territory
that comes to the United States as the re-
suit of the war. 1t may be that Spain will
not make any suggestions relative to re-
ligious matters, but questions bearing
upon religion are certain to come up Of
ficiany sooner or later. 1t is pretty safe
to say that the President will not inter-
fere further than he can possibly help.
The position which he will take is doubt
less that there shall be absolute freedom
in religious matters, just as there is in
this country, and that there shall be no
state aid or special privileges to Catholics
or Professionals. In other words, the Amer
ican policy in respect to churches and
schools will be extended to the newly ac-
quired possessions. That policy has been
found to be admirable il the United States.
Why should ii not be satisfactory in the
possessions which they have acquired?
