Army Methods.

From Public Ledger (Rep), Philadelphia
If the Dodge Commission to investi
gate the conduct of the War Depart
ment, General Dodge is chairmaD) will
give attention to the news dispatches,
it will find plenty of hints respecting
mismanagement. A despatch from
Chattanooga, dated September q. con.
tanned the following:
can auction sale of 800 horses and
200 mules, all condemned army ami
mails, is now being conducted at Chick
amauga The animals were used by
the army during the summer. and were
condemned because the government
had no further use for them. A num-
Der of stockmen are present, and the
bidding is lively. The prices range
from 500 to 500, the average being $50.
These prices are about one-third wha:
the government paid. Tie sale will
consume about week"
There is nothing apparently wrong
about that, but here is another des-
patch, from New York, under the same
date, which should be read in connec-
tion with it:
Bids were opened at the Army Build
ing to-day for transporting 5000 hors-
es to Huntsville, Ala. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad was awarded the con-
tract at $11O.36 per car. The horses
will be sent in lots of 1000 each. 1t
will require $50 cars to transport all
the horses, made up into twelve or
thirteen trains.
The government, it appears, has
about 500 horses at Chattanooga, which
is not far from Huntsville, Ala, where
horses are wanted. But instead of
sending them there it sells them for
one-third their cost, and ships other
horses from New York at considerable
cost, instead of selling the surplus
number in a better market than Chat
tanooga.

the Standard paid only 10 cents.
Worse than that, the Standard people
compelled the railroad company 10 pay
them the difference. 25 cents, on every
barrel of Rice's oil carried. This is an
example of the sort of warfare waged
by the trust.
Mr.. Rice called attention to the fact
that Standard Oil managers are direc-
tors of one-ffth of the railroad mileage
10 the country. This is the reason
why the roads in the oil regions pay
no dividends. The Standard Oil direc-
tors control the lines in the interest of
the oil business. The stockholders of
the roads are involved in the common
ruin.
Mr. Rice says, further, that the trust
offered him one-twentieth of the value
of his plant. They accompanied the
offer with threats of destruction. As
it meant ruin anyhow, Rice made the
fight.
1t is pitiful story. And the worst
of it is that it is only small fraction
of the whole truth.-St. Louis P.-D.

gall to ask the citizens of Frederick
town to keep the bailding insured.
That the conference has treatedsFreder-
icktown shabbily in regard to this
school, no one who is not blinded by
prejudice will gainsay The people of
Fredericktown, at cost of some $25,-
900, built this school and presented it
to the conference, with the understand
Ing that it was to be the school of the
st. Louis conference of the M. E.
church, South, and was to be supported
and controlled by that body. Last
year it voted the school 81 900. which
was all right, but what did it do this
yeare Cut this appropriation down to
$500 and gave the balance to Central
college, and have failed to provide for
the proper protection of the building
against fire. The conference also
sandwiched in resolution at their late
meeting, making Marvin college an
adjunct TO Fayette college.
Are the promises of the ST. Louis
conference of the M. E. church, South.
made to the citizens of Freiericktown
at the time the building of this school
was talked of, being fulfilled? Did not
the ST. Louis conference of the NJ. E.
church, South, by its duly appointed
agents, say to the people of Frederick
town, '.You build US school building
not to cost less than $25, 200 and give
1t to US, free of debt, and we will make
it our conference school?" Did not
the people of Fredericktown comply
with the terms imposed by the St.
Louis conference, or its agents. and
present them with as handsome and
convenient school building as can be
found IN Southeast Missouri? Has the
conference given this school it's ear
nest and hearty support? We think
not.
Had it not been for the indomitable
VIII ouo push Vi AEul NSlsOu ID. I10uFy
and the able faculty with which he has
surrounded himself, assisted by a few
members of the st. Louis conference,
the school would never have attained
the degree of proficiency and success
it now enjoys. The success of the
school is not due to any effort on the
part of the st. Louis conference of the
M. E. church, South. as conference.
but to few individual members of the
conference and the faculty which has
conducted the school since its opening
session.
Again we say the st. Louis confer
ence of the M. E. church, South, has
not lived up to the promises made to
the people of Fredericktown in regard
to this school. Something must be
done to protect this handsome building,
that cost the people of Fredericktown
$25, 900. from being destroyed by fire,
and On which the conference has seen
fit to put the princely sum OF 81, 600
