The charges Of mistreatment Of the
soldiers in camps IN our own country,
and in the field in Cuba and Porto
Rico. cannot be "whistIed down the
wind" By q wholesale denial. These
charges are too specific, too universal
and unequiVOcal to be disposed Of by
a sweeping denial or by the secret ses-
sions Of a wbitewashing committee.
Shafter lays it on the private soldiers,
Alger on the corps generals, the corps
generals lay it to the surgeon generals,
and they lay it on the war, quarter
master aud cOmmissary departments.
The case is proven already, all that
now remains to be done is to fix the
responsibility and punish the culprit.
The committee appointed by the pres
ident might just as veil decide upon a
thorough and searching investigation,
for, If they do not do this, congress
will take a hand. The investigation
should not be secret, at least to the
exclusion Of the representatives of the
press Of all political parties It is an
old saying, and true one, that ''mUr
der viii out" The people have a right
to know the literal, cold, cruel facts.

RUSSIA'S POLICY.
Not to Her Interest to See the Philip
pine Islands Partitioned.

ST. Petersburg, July 12.-Discussing
the events of the war between Spain
and the United States, which it regards
as practically over, the Novoe Vremya
observes that the political situation
largely depends upon the attitude OF
Russia. 1t adds
with respect to the Philippine ISL
ands, the time has arrived to clearly
state Russia's policy
Continuing, the Novoe Vremya re-
marks: Russia has no positive inter-
ests in the Philippine Islands. If they
are divided, the best parts will fall to
Germany, Great Britain and Japan,
thereby strengthening them in the Pa
cific. Therefore it is to Russia's ad-
vantage that the Philippine Islands re-
main in the possession of single pow
er. whether Spain or the United States
and Russia would prefer to see the ISL
ands in the possession of Spain or I'M
der the protection of the United States
who would keep out other claimants
By working in this direction Russia
would not only uphold her own inter-
ests, but would serve the cause of gen.
eral peace"

GENEROUS sCHLEY.

Commodore Schley has given an
other. indication of the stuff he is
made of and proven himself modest
as well as a brave and gallant hero,
by promptly cabling as soon as in
formed of the talk Of friction between
him and Sampson growing out of the
destruction of Cervera's ships, at which
battle Sampson was mot present, that
the credit for the victory nevertheless
belongs to Sampson.
This statement of the gallant Com
modore will, however, be taken with
more or less salt The preparatory ar
rangement of the ships may have been
SIMPSONS idea, but the fighting was
undoubtedly all Schley's, Sampson ar
irving one hour and ten minutes after
the Texas signalled "The enemy has
surrendered signal, by the way,
which the New York, SIMPSONS flag
ship, did not acknowledge.
The American people, however, will
think none the less of Commodore
Schley for his generosity to his
superior, who, also, unfortunately for
got to mention Commodore Schley in
his first report to the government.

AMERICAN GUNNERS LEAD.
Superb Work of the Navy Astound:
Great Britain.

London Special ST. Louis Democrat.
The naval authorities here have been
so much impressed by the eXtraordin-
airy precision of American gunnery in
the present war with Spain, all Ameri-
can successes attained until now being
attributed to the excellence Of the
American shooting, that an order has
just been issued by the Admiralty that
at each annual inspection by the adj
mirals in command of foreign stations
greatly increased attention shall be
paid to craftsmanship, which is to be
carried on by target practice at sea.
Moreover it is understood that tie adj
mirals' annual report on the captain
and officers of each ship will accord
particular weight to the proficiency of
ships in gunnery, as shown at these
inspections.
The recent official returns show that
in spite of England spending a larger
annual sum in gunnery practice than
any other European nation, and show
ing an average of hits far superior to
that of any other European nation, yet
this average Is inferior in an extra
ordinary degree to that of the United
States in the present wer. This may
be regarded as a notable tribute to the
United States navy by nation which
is acknowledged everywa5.e as the
leading maritime power of the world.

MY SOLDIER BOY.

Only page in my memory, blotted with
tears and signs:
Gone like last years roses, or the dew
from summer skies.
Only a withered rose bud, and a package
of letters DID,,
But dearer to me than jewels rare, or the
miSer'S boarded gold.
Only a girlish romance of lover that
went away,
To fight for our glorious Union-it seems
but yesterday,
Since we stood meath the yellow sunlight,
and l gazed on his boyish face,
So proud in it's newborn glory, just bud
ding to manhood's grace.
I was sad, but he spoke so calmly of our
future bright and sweet
When the war was Ger; then he marched
away with the hundreds of hurrying
feet.
Each week I dreamed DER a letter, that
came from my soldier boy;
Dreamed and caressed it. with signs, and
tears; with pleasure and pain and
joy.
Then a friend in the army wrote me: He
died on the field to-day"
And he babe. me tell his sweetheart, so
many miles away,
That a bullet pierced her picture, that
lay on his manly breast
He spilled his blood for his country, and
his spirit il now at rest.
All. no one can know the anguish, the
lamentation and pain:
The prayers that death might claim me,
but, alas, it was all in vain
1 lived but my heart was broken, and my
hair as white snow;
And to-day my sorrow Is just as great
as it was long years ago.
When l see our brave boys march away
to the sound of the fife and drum.
To mingle with war in it's bloody course,
and list to- the bullets hum.
l wonder how many sweethearts will hear
the news some day
OF the loved one that fell on the battle-
field with never a minute to pray.
And all that's left of my romance, is the
rosebud and letters old,
Dearer to me than jewels, rare as the
miser's boarded gold.
It Is only page In my memory, blotted
with tears and signs.
Gone like last years roses as the dew
from summer skies

WAR SCANDALS.

The Philadelphia Ledger is Repub-
lican newspaper but is markedly diff
ferent from most other Republican
newspapers in that it always tells the
truth. 1t is probably without eXcep-
ton the most thoroughly conservative
and reliable newspaper in the United
States and will not countenance in
capacity, double-dealing. or fraud in
its own party. Hence 1t speaks out
plainly of several matters in connec-
ton with the administration conduct
of the war which the more servile Re-
publican organs are careful not to re-
fer to. The Ledger recognizes the
plain fact that President Mckinley is
weak and is controlled by stronger
minds in Washington, some of these
INSCRIPTIONS. For example, Hanna,
who is McKinley's political guardian
and sponsor has much to say in the
councils of war at the White House,
and we all know the influence he
Yields with the President Plainly, Nc
Kinley is puppet in Hanna's hands.
OF all this the staid old reliable Phil
adelphia Ledger is becoming exceed
ingly tired, and has taken to speaking
its mind with its usual frankness and
honesty. 1t says:
Earnestly as we all hope that the war
will be short, sharp and decisive it has
already lasted long enough to show that
polrfleai Until influence at Washington has
graduates at West Point and those who
have slowly but steadily risen from the
ranks, have been over-slaughed. Civ

ought to have been the reward of long
YEARS spent in the service Of the country.
of capacity, to finish the course of in
struction there have been appointed to
positions that put them ahead of their
former Tor classmates, who worked hard and
graduation. The instances of old men
taken from civil life and put in high
the Indignation of the public at home and
the army in the field.
The Ledger is we'll aware of Nc
Kinley's weakness and of his inclina-
ton to be governed by stronger minds.
1t continues:
With the adjournment of Congress the
PRESIDENT will be to some extent freed
from the pressure to which he has
yielded, but that he did yield to it is in
the highest degree discreditable to the
administration, injurious to the army and
offensive to the country. That he got
few more votes for the annexation of
Hawaii was openly stated on the floor
of Congress, but 1t hardly evoked a whis-
per there. Loyal as we all are to the
~ ny,1 .xf< h. .
apd the brave men who have won imper-
ishable glory, 1t is for the press to give
voice to the strong feeling among the
people that this business of political in
f1uence has gone too far, has been pro-
ductive of too much injury and must be
stopped.
These comments are no less striking
than timely. That the administration
has used its power In the matter Of
army appointments to further its po-
lttical ends and to gain needed votes
to carry certain jobs through Congress
is well known. The worthless char
acter OF many Of the army appointees
is equally notorious. On this point a
correspondent Of the Pittsburg Post
makes few comments that are a f1t-
ting conclusion to the Ledger's
''roast" OF the administration:
II y A outra&s that : lot Of political
