THE RTNNR DENHNOEs.

Relative to Uhe defences of the Della
ware river the Philadelphia Ledger
has This to say whloh is just as appd-
cable to Wilmington as it is to Phila-
delphia:
While ii is true that the forts guard
ing the Delaware river are NOT service
able without troops to man lhe gums
and INFANTRY 10 support the batteries,
1t rs also true thald Philadelphia is
made reasonably secure from aetack
by nabural conditions. An enemy
might consider nj worth while to sacri-
flee its ships for the sake Of destroy
ing the navy yard at League Island, THE
shipyards along the river front and THE
defonceless vessels in cOunse OF con-
structtOn or repair. But unless an en-
emy should he willing to pay that
heavy penalty he would not venture to
ascend the Delaware.
Philadelphia is a lCng Way from uhe
sea; the Delaware can be assembled by
deep draught war vessels only at high
tide, and If they should venture up as
far as The city they would be bottled
up" by distractions placed in the cham
neh The government has, nevertheless,
considered ii worth while to Put up
forts and equip them with heavy gums,
as well as to provide the channel with
mines, and it is only Reasonable ito ask
that men Should Be sent to man the
forts, which are useless without them
lt would be an easy matter to provide
garrisons, for there are several Henn-
sylyania regiments unassigned and
tihese could as well be bIained ait the
fonts as at Camp Hastings. One regi-
ment of Pennsylvania troops also is
near at hanh-the Second Regiment
being on glrard duty at the DuPOnt
powder wOrl1s-ome battalion near Will
mingpOn amid tlhe either i'm New Jersey,
almost opposite Wilmington This regi-
ment could he called upon in az emer-
gency, but thene is no reason why THE
fonts should not he manned by the
tgOops that are under instruction, ais at
Camp Hastings
These observations RELATE only to the
physical fact that we have ON the Della
ware modern fonts containing every
thing required for 1.-THE protection of the
city, except mem. 1t lis eXtremt ly inn
probable that the most reckless OF
Spanish NAVAL commanders wCu d VEN
tufe to ascend THE river, even if as
sured OF safe passage to the city, for
his Line Of retreat would surely be cut
off; but it does not sdum worth while
to maintain forts designed FOR Tile pro
lection OF the port If they are to be
lcft to the care of a corp0ral's guard
unable to work the gums or to epel a
land assault. The city would Be inn
prsgnable with THE forts manned, for
then would be added to THE protection
afforded by its position far from sra

may he ordered to man boats armed

plans the navy officials are said to be

Commander Mucltle, when asked last
night if there was amy probability that
yhe men would be ordered to guard the
mines, replied that he had nothing to
say about plans for The reserves, except
bhat they stocd ready to answer any

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-12-23

Since Mr. Carnegie. who used to be
one of the idols of the Republican
press, has openly opposed the un-Amer-
lean policy of the administration, and
especially since he has hailed Mr..
Bryan as the fittest leader to conduct
the battle of the people against imper-
ialism, that same organic press-not-
ably the organ of Fourteenth street
can see nothing but wickedness and
deceit in the man. Their chief argu-
ment against Mr.. Carnegies present
position is the fact that he strongly
opposed Mr. Bryan in 1896. In the
view of these organs-especially the
mossback of Fourteenth street-it is a
crime for a man to learn anything by
experience.

The infinite wisdom of the admin
istration in waiting until after the re-
cent election and until the very end
Of the whitewashing process before
putting Gen. Miles on the witness
stand, has been fully indicated.
Gen. Miles's testimony was full OF
soldierly pith and point and hit the
mark every time.
1t revealed a frightful state of in
competency in the War Department at
Washington, due to Ayers endeavors
to run the War Department as an
adjunct to his own political ambition.
One section of the Generals testl-
mony is especially interesting to those
who have sons and brothers who lie
buried in the soil of Porto Rico.
There was scarcely any fighting
worth mentioning in Porto Rico, but
the death rate was frightful among the
American troops. Gen. Miles, after
speaking of the awful neglect OF the
sick and wounded due chiefly to the
lack of accommodation, in referring to
the execrable quality of the food fur
nished the troops, commented especi-
ally upon what he termed the EN-
Ealmed beef" furnished by the depart
ment.
1T smelled," said the General, like
an embalmed dead body
This was the sickening, horrible
stuff the incompetent War Department
forced it's soldiers to eat, and Gen
Miles stated positively that this rotten
truck was responsible for the great
sickness in the American army.
| Gen. Miles declares that he pointed
out to Alger the proper method to pur-
sue in order to facilitate the move
ments of the army and to preserve the
| health and efficiency of the troops, anc
! in the case of certain supplies, he hae
! previously told Alger that the troop:
&C lid buy good, fresh meat in Porto
Rico cheaper than it could be trans
ported from the United States, bu
his advice was steadily ignored b!
Alger. who apparently had his own sci
fish political ambition and the inter
ests of the army contractors closer a
heart than the lives of the soldiers
entrusted to his care. Moreover, h
hated Miles because Miles had man
fully refused to become a clerk in hi
office and plan campaigns in Alger'
name that the Michigan politician
might reap all the glory of the war.
Yes, it was shrewd move OF Mr.
| McKinley's 'Whitewash Board" thi
postponement of putting Gen. Miles Of
the witness stand until after the cleo
lions, otherwise an outraged publ
might have worked infinitely create
havoc with the administration part
at the polls.
And this prompts the query: Is Al
ger a fit man to have at the head c
the War Department if the army is t

The afflicted organ of Fourteenth
street yesterday had another bad at
tack of its chief mania, which for lack
of the proper scientific term we shall
term RegiSterphObia. The poor vic
tim is seized with it every morning at
sight of the Register and writhes in
frightful commissions until the fit is
past for the day. Yesterday the attack
was particularly severe and the patient
frothed at the mouth for column or
two. The only relief for the organ
when seized by one of the attacks APP
pears to be savage blackguardism of
the Register and brutal misrepresenta-
ton Of it's uttoronoos.
Yesterday in the especially severe at
tack referred to the organ greedily
took up the statements OF the Register
concerning the Presidents inconslst-
ency in one of his Southern speeches IN
wanting to know who will haul down
that flag" in the Philippines, when he,
himself proposed to haul down that
flag" in Cuba after establishing
stable government there. The Register
asked why it was all right to haul
down that flag" in Cuba and all wrong
to haul it down in the Philippines. 1t
seemed to relieve the afflicted organ
to grossly misquote the Registers
words in this connection and, by quot
ing separated sentences here and there
and by dropping out in a lump the en-
tire point of the Registers remarks, to
give it's exclusive readers-whO, poor
benighted folks, fortunately are very,
very few-an entirely false impression
of the Registers criticism of the Presi-
dent. Then it was guilty of the further
fraud of quoting complimentary
references by other Democratic
papers to ANOTHER speech OF
the President ON AN EN-
TIRELY DIFFERENT TOPIC in or
der to create the ridiculously false and
absurd impression that the Register
StOO0 alone dDlOHS DtlllOtld lit poPNiN
in condemning the inconsistent Philip
pine policy of the administration. II
was rather slick work-for a paretic-
and seemed to afford great relief to the
burdened spleen of the organ.
Speaking of the administration i'm
rerial policy, however, even at the risk
Of throwing our afflicted contemporary
into another spasm Of Registerphobia
we mus. call the organs attention t(
the fact that even if it were true thai
the Register were the only Democratic
newspaper in the country that opposed
the un-American policy of Imperialism
ii would still be in accord with the bes
sentiment in the Republican party ant
b. exactly in line with the expressed
views of the able ex-editor of the de
generate organ itself, Hon. A. w

The Fourteenth street organs "spe-
ciaf' concerning an alleged confer
ence" of Democratic leaders in Wash
lngtOn bears all the earmarks of one
of its familiar cockloft, grapevine"
specials. Evidently it was made to
order in the Fourteenth street cockloft
to offset the fact that the Republican
leaders of West Virginia appear to be
able to do nothing without first run
ming to Washington to get Mr. Elkins's
advice and consent. It's an old trick
of the organ.
