THE RETAINED VOLUNTEERS.

There was naturally great disappointment
in the volunteer army when the signing of
the protocol made it seem unlikely that it
was to have an active share in the war. A
few volunteers had participated, and with
honor, in the fight at Santiago and a few
others at Manila, but the majority had
spent the summer IN camp waiting to be
called. Naturally, also, the first impusive
wish was to be mustered out of service at
once if no glory was to be gained by wait
ing. This hardly the right thought for
a loyal soldier to cherish. They enlisted to
serve their country, and there are other
ways in which an army may serve than
in charging against the intrenchments of
an enemy. Their very existence as a re-
serve force added to the power and pres
tige of the Nation while they were in camp.
They enlisted to help the country free
Cuba, but Cuba is not yet free. The de-
plete the task. A part of the work under
taken by the United States is to show the
Cubans how to govern themselves. 1t must
be done by show of authority. They do
rot know how to use liberty, and are likely
to understand it as lawlessness and license.
officers who were at Santiago and who
know the Cubans think they will need to
be taught by force. At all events, the be-
ginning of the work of regeneration in that
island must be done under the supervision
of the army. 1t is an honorable and
patriotic service; it will be a historical
service. There may be fighting for those
who yearn for it; there is sure to be much
CT interest in the work of founding new
government. The debt of the Nation to the
troops that make the final subjugation that
Santiago began will be great, for in time
Cuba will be one of the grandest of de-
tendencies, and to have been connected
with its history will be distinction. From
personal as well as public standpoint,
too service there, even on garrison duty, is
thing to be sought rather than avoided.
1t is land in which young men will find
opportunities, and those first in will have
the advantage. For many reasons the
troops that will be assigned to that island
are to be esteemed fortunate.

GRUMBLERS ARE FEW.

1t is gradually developing that most of
the complaints of army shortcomings have
emanated from a few soldiers in each camp
or command-every regiment will have
some malcontents-and that the majority
of the men are behaving like men and not
whining over unavoidable discomforts.
When they enlisted they accepted the for
tunes of war, and war. even at best, does
not provide bed of roses for its follow
ers. They endured some privations and
found camp routine irksome and the life
in Southern camps during a hot summer
far from agreeable. but many of them were
soldiers sons and had no thought of grumb-
ling, remembering what hardships their
fathers encountered on the same ground. 1t
is unfortunate that these young men, the
bulk, indeed, of the volunteer army, should
have been so misrepresented by the discon-
tented element that for a time they all
seemed to the public to be almost in a
state of INSTRUMENTATION. The false reports
circulated concerning the condition of
camps treatment by officers. insufficient
rations. etc.. and the childish grumbling
over inevitable discomforts have done in
justice to all the men in the ranks, by ap-
pearing to include Them all in the list of
'kickers." Now that the truth is being
made clear by the return of regiments in
good physical condition and the denial by
the trustworthy majority of the wild tales
of suffering and starvation that had pre-
coded them, the public is likely to be less
ready to accept such reports in future until
after investigation. returned Missouri

dignation was aroused in his regiment at

they could have been located. If blanket

are magnifed as they pass on until they

would soon be abandoned 1t is really the
necessary discipline and restrictions of the
army of which these grumblers complain,
but little more discipline would be whole

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
1t would be good thing for Indianapolis
If the state fair never held here again.
Thousands of people all over the State think
that Indianapolis merchants manage, or
have control of the fair, when just the con-
trary is the fact, for not a man in this city
has thing to do with its management.
The repeated regular annual failure of the
Board of Agriculture to give exhibit
worthy the name of state fair is the great
cause of the i'll feeling entertained against
indianapolis by so many people outside of
Marion county. This state of affairs should
be changed, and now is good time to
change it. The state fair is no benefit to
indianapolis. 1t is too far from the city.
People get off their trains at the Union
Station, take the street cars for the grounds.
come back in time for their trains at night
and go to their homes matchmaking In
dianapols for the miserable show they have
spent their good money to see.
Indianapolis should have an exposition of
its own. 1t can be arranged for and held
year from this time If our business men
so desire. The east market space should
be asphalted and substantial steel and iron
building erected thereon, open below for
the benefit of the market gardeners who are
now compelled to occupy the streets and
sidewalks about the courthouse. The upper
story should be at least twenty-feet in
height, with windows on three sides and
numerous skylights The building should be
made to stand heavy weights and the jar
have second story added to correspond
with the new building. and two causeways
should be built from Tomlnson Hall across
the space between it and the meat market,
connecting it with the new building. With
such a building as this in the heart of the
city we would have an admirable place for
a city exposition, which should be an
epitome of our city's manufacturing indus
tries. Tomlinson Hall, proper, could be used
for a fine arts exhibit, a flower show, or
something similar. The admission fee
should be nominal. For those coming from
any distance over twenty-five miles there
should be no charge. This exhibit should
begin on Wednesday of one week and should
last until Saturday of the following week,
ten days. On two nights of each week there
should be some kind of night pageant, en-
tertaining, amusing and instructive the
streets and floats well lighted by electricity
colored fires and fireworks, so that all could
see clearly everything in the parade. There
would be some expense attached to this
sort of an exposition but it could be easily
met The greater part could be realized
from the sale of privileges. This is but a
brief outline of what might be done; the
details can be worked out by the Merchants
Association. JOS. r. PERRY.

ARMY OFFICERS IN CHARGE.

If those who have charged upon the sec
rotary of war the responsibility for the To-
cation of camps and the disease that has
appeared in camps had been reasonable
they would have found some important
facts which would have checked the hasty
criticism and denunciation. They would
have found that every camp has been Sc
lected by trained regular army officers and
commanded by a general of that army
They would have found that supplies and
transportation were alike provided by
trained regular army officers. They would
have found that nearly all of the medical
officers directing affairs were surgeons in
the regular army. They would have found
that Camp Thomas was commanded by two
regular army officers. that Camp Alger was
located by medical officer on General
Miles's staff, that the camp at Montauk
Point was selected by General Frank and
the surgeon general of the army.

TIRED OF STATE FAIR.
Legislature May Give No More Aid on
Account of Management.

The fact that the state fair is being con-
tinually operated at a loss, which only the
state appropriation makes it possible to
meet, has set some of those who are inter-
ested in it's continL ance 10 thinking how
the matter can be arranged that the
State shall take complete control of the far
and operate it as a state institution. Among
the state officers, however, there is no sem
timent whatever in favor of this move, and
canvass of the officials brought to light
the fact that in the minds of most of them
the state fair is considered an out-of-date
institution which should be relegated to the
past. The progress Cf the times has made
1t possible for almost every county to have
its own fair, which in most cases answers
all the purposes of the state fair
From the Governor down to the last of
the state officers. the sentiment is against
the adoption of the fair by the State. Some
Of the officials are SO much Disguised with
the fair as it is conducted that they say
there is a chance the Legislature will refuse
to make the regular annual appropriation
by amending tie law. At any rate, it is
about certain that the State will not father
the fair to any greater degree than SUBJ
scribing money for its support.
