CONSULT THE BOYS
IN THE TRENCHES.

The boys of Co. B. End Regiment,
Mo. Vol, are comfortably located at
Lexington, Kentucky. It appears
from published accounts that the
2nd is likely to see garrison duty in
Cuba 1t also appears to be Cover
nor Stephens and Adjutant General
Bells intention to get an expression
from the privates and those desiring
to be mustered out and go home be
permitted to do SO, filing their
places with those from mustered out
regiments who desired to remain in
the service 1t appears to US that is
the proper course to pursue it the
consent of the war department can
be obtained to such plan. While
we have no doubt large number of
enlisted men are perfectly willing to
stay in Uncle Sans army, there are
those who left lucrative positions
and made sacrifices in civil life to go
to the front at their governments
call, who now would like to return
since the emergency which called
them out has been removed. These
young men have social standing and
business prospects at home which it
is impossible for them to enjoy
while serving as private soldiers.
On the other hand it is different
with the officers They have a social
standing in the army, many far
above that they could hope to attain
at home, while the salaries they
draw are larger than those ordinarily
drawn in the business world. There
fore it is reasonable to suppose that
most OF the officers will want to
remain in service for at least the foil
term of their enlistment. While it
is a compliment TO the 2nd on it's
excellence of drill and department
to be chosen as one of the regiments
to be retained in service, We think
with Gov Stephens and Gen. Bell,
that the boys in the trenches should
be consulted.
