We notice disposition on the part
of some veterans of the civil war tC
minimize the hardships of our troop,
in the late affair with Spain. They
seem to think that the pity lavished OF
the victims of the Santiago campaign
and the southern hospital camps ii
altogether out of proportion to the de
serts. They assert with warmth that
the hardships OF this war are as moth.
ing compared with what they endur,
and no such amount of sympathy was
expressed for them. Not all veterans
hold this view. but some do. 1t is be.
yond question that this war is mere
play beside of the gigantic struggle OF
'6l to 80. OF course the bloodshed and
suffering are Incompatible in the ag-
gregate. War is hell, always. II is
not the slaughter of battle or the hard
ship of the campaign that so moves
popular feeling now. 1t is the need
less sacrifice of life occasioned by
official incompetency. When men fall
sick by hundreds and die in camp for
lack of proper food and care, surround
ed as they are by plenty and with an
Overlooking treasury to draw from
when an army is sent TO distant Cuba
without anything resembling a hospi-
tai service; when troops enfeeblcd BY
disease are brought home from Cuba
in rotten ships and fed on moldy hard
tack when, in short, the entire mill
tary arm is paralyzed by mismanage-
ment in few weeks, there is every
reason for the deep feeling that exists.
OF course all that has happened lately
occurred in perhaps worse form in
the Rebellion, but there was some ex-
cuse for it then. There was next to no
military organization then and what
there was the Confederates mostly took
control of themselves. The nation was
rent and torn in twain then, now it is
united. Our resources then were
vastly inferior to those of today. The
Rebellion lasted four years while this
war was of only three months dura-
ton. With the experience of this
short time in mind it is fearful to think
what would be the result of another
struggle so long and bitter as that of
the preceding one. For every life
needlessly sacrificed now someone is
to blame and there have been hum
dreds OF them. The last thing that
was expected when war broke out was
such a revelation of official weakness.
1t would not be strange for Spain to
show such a complete prostration in
the executive branch, but it is shame
full in a nation that prides itself on its
keen business ability and foresight.
If the fault is with the system rather
than the men let the system be mended
as speedily as possible.

The defeat of ex-Mayor Van Patten
by man of the calibre of John Nc
Geary reflects no credit on the city OF
Burlington. 1t is explained that the
result is due to the prevalence of the
license sentiment in that city. If the
political preferment of men of the
McGeary stripe is a condition prec-
edent to the passage of license law
in Vermont it will be a long time
coming.

One of the matters that will probab-
ly be considered by the legislature is
that of reorganization of the Vermont
militia. Gov. Grout will probably
make some recommendation in favor
of making the force larger and more
effective. There is liable to be some
thing of shakeup in the official de-
partment, too, that may result in bet
ter service to the state, though with a
possible loss in gold lace and epaulets.

Fruit Shipments East.

The fruit growers of the PalOuse anG
Snake river sections have this year
sold over $4,000 worth of apples to
eastern buyers, and further sales are
yet being made. Early last month the
dealers at Missouri river points awoke
to the fact that there was shortage
IN the apple crop. Knowing the mer'
its of the Inland Empires production
of that fruit from small shipments that
had gone east in previous years, the
dealers promptly sent out buyers into
this and adjoining states. BY the mid
die of October, buyers were on hand
all through the Palouse and in the
Snake river valley, in Eastern Oregon
points, and even over on the coast.
One cent pound was offered for all
apples that could be had. The resul,
has been that over 200 carloads have
been shipped east so far this season
and the total shipments for the year
will run close to 300 carloads, as
against about 100 carloads last season.
Each car holds about $4,000 pounds.
The buyers were granted reduced rates
by the transportation lines, the North
ern Pacific reduction being % per cent.
or about $50 car. Inland Empire ap-
pies are now on sale at probably every
large city of the Middle West, while o
considerable quantity has gone even
further east, and many boxes went to
London.-Spokesman- Review.

Death has again called from The
Dalles one who was generally loved,
one whose place cannot be readily
filed. Mrs. Grace Condor. wife of j.
W. Condor, died very suddenly at hel
home On Union street about 4:3O Sun
day morning. She had been i'll
since Wednesday of last week with
tonsilitis, but on Saturday was thought
to be improving, however her sister,
DR.. Gertrude French, was summoned
from Portland arriving here on the ii
o'clock train, and with Mr.. Condor
watched over the sufferer during the
night. Shortly before o'clock they
discovered symptoms of her growing
worse, and summoned her parents and
the physician, but they arrived only
to see her breathe her last.
Mrs. Condor was the second daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith French,
and was born in Stanstard, Canada,
October 80, 1867. She came with her
parents to The Da1les when a little
child, and almost her entire life has
been spent here. In 1884, at the age
of II yeaIs, she graduated from the
Wasco Independent Academy, and on
November q, 1889, was united in mar
riage with ]. w. Condor, who with

Experts in insanity tell
US that when anyone goes
insane, frequently their whole nature is re.
versed. They do and say exactly the op-
posite things to what they would do in
their sane minds. A mother whose mind

the world most precious to her-her baby.
The terrible nervous tension under which
