FINE REGIMENT AND COMMANDER.
Colonel Baker has in no wise exagge-
rated in praising the Second Regiment.
Impartial judges said there was not a
better In the Seventh Corps, viewed from
every standpoint OF a military critic.
There was not an officer in the service
more honored. respected. and beloved
than Colonel James c. Baker. and the
sentiments expressed in his letter OF fare
well are in full measure reciprocated by
his field, staff, and line officers, as well
rs by the enlisted men. The war with
Spain called into prominence no finer type
II citizen-soldier than Colonel Baker.

MORE RED TAPE.
Incomp etence and Nonsense Of Off

Of the Eighth Ohio.

Charles B. SPOTS Of Co. F, Alfred
vogel gesang and Louis Steitz of Co. l
came home on the 1926 Pennsylvania
train this NOR ming. Steitz was very
weak, having just left the hospital at
Montauk, where he was confined with
fever and the prostratop produced by
lack OF proper nourishmeDt. He was too
III to talk at length. Alfred Vogelge-
sang wore a beard and was also In bad
shape as result of the treatment accord
cd the soldiers on the Mohawk and In
Cuba. SPOTS was stronger than his
comrades, but was also suffering from
the effects of the frlghtful experience at
Santiago and on the trip home. The
boys said preparations we're being made
at Montauk for breaking camp, but some
hitch had developed 10 the transportation
department.. They thought the Eighth
would be home some time tomorrow.
RED TAPE NONSENSE.
The Pittsburg Dispatch correspondent
says: Red tape may prevent the boys in
Col. Hard's regiment from getting away
from Camp WikoH tomorrow, 1t is now
absolutely certain that they will not
leave at 8 O'Clock tomorrow morning,
the time scheduled The orders for the
regiment to leave were duly made out on
Saturday at the instance of Secretary
Alger, but nothing further has been done.
The Ohio boys packed up tuday, but
when their quartermaster applied at the
department for transportation for the
regiment home, he was informed that 1t
had not been arranged for. "But we
are to leave here in the morning" he
said. "Well, you can leave here and 60
to New York, but the transportation
has not been provided from that point

" That has to be done by contract and
bids have not yet been advertised for. |
Well see what can be done later. would
suggest that you go to New York with

Colonel Hard was notified OF this con-

On the 23rd day of August, Mrs. Re-

der, peacefully passed away. Her re-
mains were laid to rest in the Indian
Run cemetery on the 25th. She was
born at Middlebranch and was 33 years,
5months and 2l days old. She leaves
a sorrowing husband, seven children
and host of relatives and friends to
mourn her early departure. Mrs.
Snyder was one of those peaceable and
good hearted women, and the people in
the neighborhood in which she resided
spoke well of her. The church was

SICK SOLDIERS
Will Find Friends and Attention at
Aultman Hospital il Appli-
cation Is Made.

Many soldiers are coming home in such
condition that the greatest care and at
tention is required to get them back to
their normal condition. The directors
of Aultman hospital have considered that
fact, and W. l.. Alexander stated today
that the hospital people will bo glad to
take care of any returned soldier whose
case requires attention, at the hospital.
There will be no charge made for the
care of these bero-wrecks. 1t is certainly
a matter for congratulation that Canton
has hospital conducted on the lines Of
humanity, and parents who have not the
facilities or cannot take such care Of
their sons as they deserve need not hest
tate to epply to the hospital for relief. 1t
is assured by Mr.. Alexander that the hos,
pital people will not only give the sick
and GONZALES cents marked attention, but
will take special pleasure in doing SO.

There are occasionally narrow
people in this world. In old slavery
times the anti-lecturers used to tell Of a
pious old fellow who had half interest
in slave and would pray daily for
himself, his wife and his half of Cuff.
We have the same sort of narrow
creatures now. For instance, General
Grossvenor, of this state, notorious
jingo and bitter partisan, and the eq ual.
ly bigoted Governor Tanner, of Illinois,
in published interviews condemn the
newspapers for merely printing the
news, by letters from the "boys" and
otherwise, as to the condition and treat
ment and management, and the suffer-
ing and deaths consequent, just as
though all this was not legitimate.
sucL men and bitter partisans would
suppress these facts if they had the
power. 1t is not truth they want, but
party success and power and the
emoluments thereof. With them, "the
king can do no wrong" Their party
is ever right and the others always
wrong. The trouble is with the Gros.
venor-Tanner tribe, the newspapers in
question include many leading Republi-
can organs. No doubt this publication
exposes the administration and endan'
gers the party in power. Hence the
efforts now making by these party
leaders to smother investigation and
publication. The truth hurts.
Soldiers are now daily returning from
camp to be cared for at home, all ovel
the country; and they confirm the stories
of mismanagement; but many of then
are doubtless prevented from telling tn,
whole truth, for they are not yet out o
the service. Enough, however, isgot, ,seel
and published to satisfy the most cap
tious and unreasonable partisans. M
wonder that efforts are now maxim
by partisan sheets to prevent investigs
ton and so shield party and administra
ton favoriles.

The Republican party and its leaders
in all these years, while preaching and
proolaiming and voting bimetallism and
the constitution, were serving the
money power and fastening the gold
standard coil around the necks of the
American people, thus landing the
country into misery, disaster and bank
ruptcy, as Sherman and others foretold.
And yet people sympathise with the
old man despite his errors, since his
despicable treatment at the hands OF
this administration, its plotters and
schemers. Truly, this is a tortuous

wBITEwAsHING ALGER.

From the President down extraordi
nary efforts are now being put forth to
whitewash Secretary Alger, and the
break down of the commissary, quarter.
master and medical departments OF the
army at a critical time is credited to the
sensational newspapers that have cen
sured Alger, by de scribing actual condi-
tions, comprise all classes OF papers and
of all shades of politics, including the
most cautious and conservative jour-
nails, we imagine they can stand up un-
der the brunt of official dispeasure.
Alger has himself stated in one of his
earlier interviews that he did not know
Of the conditions in the camps, the
hospitals and the transports until the
information came to him through the
newspapers. Then, he says, he set at
work to remedy matters at once. But
the tangle was of such character it was
i'm possible to bring order out of chaos,
and the volunteers suffered as a conse'
quence.
1t is not the condition of the camps at
this time, with such men as General
"Joe" Wheeler invested with ample au-
thority in control OF them, that is the
main issue. True the incoming trans.
ports are reported in the worst possible
condition, as being little better than pest
houses, but the camps have been vastly
improved, and it has been done under
the spur OF newspaper exposure. Alger
did not take the initiative. 1t was the
newspapers, and they never did better
service. 1t recalls the work of the
British press in reforming the terrible
state OF affairs in the British camps in
the Crimea. Red tape ignored all COM
plants until the press made the great
public acquainted with the facts, just as
the American press has done.
There are too many witnesses-too
many sufferers-too many mourning the
loss of loved ones, victims to official
blundering, incapacity and political
jobbery, throughout this broad land, to
be dosed into acquiesence by any
amount of official whitewash. Its pur-
pose is too apparent. II is too smooth
over the intensity of popular indigna-
tion, and especially the anger of the
people at so many political incompe-
tents given important places in the
army. President Mckinley may find
the camps all right now, thanks to
General Wheeler and his kind, but
memory goes back to the time, but a
few weeks ago. when they were in de-
plorable condition and the staff depart
ment we're burdened by the incompe-
tency of political appointments or the
sons of somebodies. The one fact that
as against total loss of life in battle in
this war of $50 men over 1000 soldiers
have died Of disease, exposure, lack Of
proper medicines and food tells the
story of official Incompetence Pitts

THE BRITIsH-EGYPTIAN ARMY,

Under Sir Herbert Kitchener has de-
feated the Dervish army with great
slaughter, and captured Khartoum on
the upper Nile. 1t was at Khartoum in
1885 that the gallant Chinese Gordon
met his death, Gordon had left Lon
don the year before and taken COM
mand of the Khedive's army on the
upper Nile. In few weeks he entered
the town and hoped to succeed by
righteous rule. He defended the city
bravely, but his force was not sufficient
to withstand the host of the Mahdi and
the treachery within. His death is
now likely to be avenged at last. GEN.
sral Kitchener had an invading force Of
26 900 men of which 5000 were British
and the remainder Egyptians. The
Dervish army it is said numbered TO-
600. These, however, were no match
for British science and improved wea-
pons. The purpose is to extend British
dominion from Egypt to the Cape of
Good Hope and have ultimately rail-
way connection. Sir Herbert Kitchener
is remarkable man, about 30 years oi
age and for years has been in the
Khedive's army, having served pre-
vionsly in the British in minor posi-
tions. He has ably filed every require
ment in the Egyptian service and bis
soldiers have every confidence that hil
lead is victory. In the late engagement
the killed and wounded in the Dervisf
army were $4,000, and that of thu
Anglo. Egyptian army 500.
