Il S II the war wasn't excitement
I enough. the state of New York
I is having an extraordinary ses-
sion of the legislature this week. 1t
was called by Governor Black for the
purpose OF "remodellng' the election
laws. particularly those of New York
city; in other words. for the purpose
OF throwing the control Of the ballot
box into the hands of republican heel
ers. II is Platt's scheme. Reduced 10
plain words. 1t means the Enlistment
OF a republican army at the ballot
boxes. 1t will involve the state in an
extra expense amounting to two or
three million dollars.
II is but justice to the republican
party of New York TO say that many
opposed to the scheme, The New York
Tribune has advised against IL. The
New York Mail and Express raises a
warning voice in this language: I'VE
are going to have a close fight this fall
TO elect Governor Black and the rest
of the ticket. While possessing great
offensive strength. we will be on the
defensive at many points. Is II wise
To make another issue for the benefit
OF the democrats? Invariably partisan
legislation attempted at an extra ses-
sion has proved disastrous to the party
attempting II. We believe the govern
or will serve his country best. his state
best, his party best, and his WI in
terests best by recommending only such
legislation as pertains TO the exigencies
caused by the war"
But Platt's fiat has gone forth. and
the midsummer session Is on. with
all his scheming Platt's hope OF carry
ing the state next November may prove
a midsummer nights dream. He has
not reckoned on the boomerang results
OF such a law. II Is a scandalous pro-
ceedlng. Last week the Brooklyn
Eagle said this: THE extra session
ordered for mex Monday night involves
the intended use OF the legislature by
the republican party for the injury of
the democratic party OF the state. The
use OF the army or navy for such a
purpose would be more difficult ana
more sensational. but the spirit Of such
an action would be the same as hat

The essential tact is that the action
taken I'm Helena leaves the whole ques-
ton of fusion where II properly be-
longs-with the state conventions. An
other course on the part of the demo-
cratic committee would have been an
usurpation Of the democratic
state conventions functions. The ques-
ton of fusion, on its merits. is one re-
speeding which pronounced differences

plenty of self-satisfed men who fatter
themselves that they can figure IL all

not the thing to go by. Meanwhile, the

The Killed and Wounded.

~HE report that the spaniards
mutilated the bodies of the
American dead was proved to
be false. and now, II seems. the story
OF the enemy's use OF brass bullets that
natten when they hit. Is also a myth.
The percentage of mortal cases among
the American wounded is pronounced
to be very small. owing TO the small
sized bullets by which they were
struck. Major Lagard, who Is
I'm charge OF the United States
hospital at Siboney. explained
the comparative harmiessness OF
wounds to the correspondent OF the
New York sun. He said that the hu-
name results of the reduced calibsr
projectiles have been specially shown
among those wounded in the joint end
Of bones. The long bones have shown
but few explosive effects. The cas-
ualty list, with the old leaden bullets,
like the 45-caliber. might have shown
fewer wounds. but h proportion Of
severe wounds might predominant so
greatly that suffering would be more
general. General amDutatIon and re-
section are rarely necessary with the
modern bullet. The Msuser bullets used

to be regretted that the provisions for

amount 10 a serious reflection upon the
government-or at least upon those
having the matter In charge. h fact
that such a large list Of wounded was
not anticipated is no excuse. The pro-
visions should have been ample for just
such a contingency. The act OF the
unpreparedness for caring for the sick
and wounded at the front was forcibly
brought home the other day by the fol-
lowing cablegram from Clara Barton
at Siboney: Wounded men taken from
our operating tables are laid on the
ground, often without blankets OF
shelter from the rain or sun. As 9TH
ers die their clothing is taken to put on

honey, 10 miles over roads that upset
army wagons"
Apparently the hospital service Is
more poorly organized than the COM
missary department. about which 20
many complaints have been made. It's
needs. as set forth by Miss Barton, are
so pressing that the administration
should make every possible effort to
hasten forward skilled assistants and
the necessary supplies. without the
most energetic measures, hundreds Of
our men must die under the blistering
sun and deadly rains to which they
are exposed. Help in this direction has
been arriving the last few days. and
henceforth the provisions for caring for
the sick and wounded will probably oe
ample. But the fact that this was not
done at the start will stand as one Of
the plumbers of the war.
From the field come other stories that
are not pleasant reading. Many OF the
wounded were without shelter and lay
in the scorching sun during the day
while at night they were exposed to the
drenching rains. Through the lneth-
cheney of the commissary department
it is in his department, as the De-
troit Tribune points out, that many al
the sons of prominent men are serv-

They're Not a Unit.

Ace. asserted that the unit rule has
never been the rule in democratic ma
tional conventions. When the opposite,
which is the truth. was stated. Mr..
Neill repeated his assertion with as
much vehemence as IL he knew what
he was talking about; he even went so
far as &c make the random assertion
that the unit rule. so far from being
democratic, is strictly republican prac-
tice.
That was Monday afternoon. No%'

dependent establishment, the editorial
room. which, in interesting editorial
talk. said. Tuesday morning, that 1.-THE
unit rule has prevailed at times in
democratic national conventions: and
in 1896 the friends of bimetallism had
much cause TO fear It," Which Is all
right, although 1t would be more accu-
rate TO say that the unit rule has beer
the custom with democratic national
conventions. The Independents two
departments ought to pull more closely

IT is said TO be not so very much OF a
task for a northern man to live In
Cuba II he knows what to wear and
what to eat and drink. Our soldiers
didn't take extensive wardrobes along
with them. They thought they were
stripping down pretty well, but they
have found out that they didn't strip
enough. The natives wear a smile, and
sometimes not always that. AS for food,
salads, vegetables and fruits are the
proper thing in Cuba, but the American
soldiers brought up on meat and greasy
combinations have not learned to wean
themselves of that form OF diet. An
American who has had much experience
In Cuba remarks that Yankees who in

war must learn to move deliberately, to
