Sending the Soldiers Home.

A Georgia paper suggests that in
stead of trapesing around the country
in search of healthy camps for the vol
unteers. the proper thing to do is to
muster them out and send them home"
There is sound sense in this. If the
country cannot take care of its SOL
diers collectively. it can care for them
individually, ans nothing would be
more agreeable, both to soldiers and
their friends, than the exchange of hos
pital for home. The friends of the vol
unteers viii cheerfuIly pay for doctors
and medicines, and see that comforta-
Bile quarters and proper care are pro-
vided for the sick If there are volun-
teers who have no relatives or personal
friends TO assume this duty, the city
hospitals the soldiers aid associations.
and individual patriots will be glad to
give them the best of care. Even the
best nursing in a war hospital cannot
equal the tending of mother. wife, or
sister. There is a tonic in the very
thought of going home, which has
worked wonders for enfeebled soldiers.
But there is one thing which should
receive particular attention. The men
who are sent home to recuperate must
be sent in cars which will afford them
proper comforts. They must be sent IN
charge of surgeons who will not say,
as did the officer in charge CT a train
load of sick men not long ago, that
they ARE not concerned with keeping
the men alive" II necessary, hospital
trains may be sent. as some have been
sent already. from the several States.
TO bring the soldiers home. 1t is the
very mockery of mercy 10 herd wound
ed men together in cattle-trains and
freight cars. SO that when the anxious
friends OF the volunteers gather at the
station, one man after another is lifted
out a corpse. A long railway journey
is not a good thing for a feeble man.

Mrs. Hobart, who leaned on his arm.
They occupied the Hobart pew. The Rev.
DIR. Magic, pastor. took for his text Job
16, 10: also now behold my witness is in
heaven and my record is on high" He
made no reference to the distinguished
listener.
After services the President and Mrs.
Hobart returned to the Hobart mansion
on Carroll Street. where the Pesident en-
joyed a few hours of rest until the latter
part of the afternoon. Then accompanied
by Mrs. Mckinley and Mr.. and Mrs. Ho-
bart, he started for a drive through East
Side Park.
1t had been announced that the Presi-
dent would pass through the park and
fully 5000 persons surged through the
lanes and avenues of the pleasure ground.
The drive was lined with carriages. There
was music from a band in the stand.
The program called for president $
March,. Peoples Choice and nearly all
the national and patriotic airs.
IL was after o'clock when cheering
from the direction of the Fifteenth Ave-
nue entrance. announcing the sighting of
the Hobart carriage was heard. Thither
the crowd rushed AS the carriage came
in the gate the people closed In on 1t
cheering. Men waved their hats and
pretty women fiuttered handkerchiefs.
The ones near enough to the carriage as
1t passed held out their hands to feel the
Presidential grasp and seemed overjoyed
when the President with a gentle smile
pressed the preferred hand.
After leaving the park at the Brooklyn
entrance. the President was driven across
the Passaic River into Bergen County
and through the grounds of the New Jer-
sey County Club, of which Mr.. Hobart is
president, and Attorney General Grisss
vice president. They returned to Carroll
Hall about o'clock.

is expected to accompany Mr.. Griggs 10

The President and Public Opinion

Mr.. Mckinley will not be wise to make the
case of the War Department his own. or to
seek to throw the mantle OF his great Office, in
which he is. responsible for the Government in
general. leaving each department in particular re-
spcnsible for its own record, any of those
departments We do net believe he is so little
of a politician as to try to do that. The people
do not make Secretary Alger and President Nc
Kinley synonymous nor interchangeable quanti-
ties, yet They do not even yet make Secretary AL
ger Ccmmissary Gene-al Eagan, and Surgeon
General Sternberg such quantities. But they tend
hourly more and more to the conclusion to rate
all these three together, and will so tend to
rate them together, until and unless the surgeon
general and the ccmmissary general are relent-
lessly brought to book.
