ARMY SCANDALS.
candidate.

T is a circumstance most regrettable that Tn the
 commissary department of the army there should be so much indication of scandal Yet the sinister charge that the Government has been robbed by contractors and the soldiers made to suffer through a commercial instinct to greed and thevery are apparently too well sustained to be passed over. No official position should be permit ted to shield any man accused of such crimes, and none so accused unjusty would be content with any thing less than the fullest investigation.
 Many charges have been directed against the head of the War Department and the possibility that they are baseless must be recognized Secretary Alger could not personally direct every detail of the equip ping of great army and to hold him responsible for rhe acts of rascaly subordinate would be unjust, more likely than otherwise Neither does an accusa- ton coming from Governor Leedy of Kansas carry great weight Leedy was the means of sending into service the most wretchedly outftted soldiers who entered it. The Kansas regiment which reached this city was literally in rags and the explanation was given that Leedy had refused to permit the boys to leave the State with the uniforms of the National Guard notwithstanding he must have known the General Government would make good more than the value of the uniforms, replacing each with new. Therefore to sing small, well beseems Governor Leedy.
 But the Eastern press regardless of politics, teens with similar charges, and the matter IS serious to constitute disgrace which will be the blacker and deeper if permitted to go unrefuted and if the allegations be sustained there ought to be punishment swift and severe. Dismissal from office would be suggested in some instances and introduction to jail in others National pride resents the idea of unscru- pulous and thrifty spectators being permitted to turn the tide of war to their own benefit or to rob the Government simply because the exigency of the time affords the opportunity.

THE END OF THE WAR

the signature of the protocol outlining the ] r ! terms of peace offered by the United States
 - and accepted by Spain, the war IS virtually closed. It has been for of victory from frst to last Undertaken in the cause of humanity and liberty and waged with desire for conquest, It will nevertheless add to our possessions and vastly in- crease our prestige as world power.
 It IS commonplace saying that what las been ac- complshed in this war has materially changed the aspect of international affairs in all parts of the globe As matter of fact international relations and con dtons continually changing. The aspect of affairs is the same any two periods o time separated by as much as a month Some event al- ways occurs to transmute crisis into another or to shift the danger point from locality to another far distant Nevertheless it IS fitting to refer to this potent force in changing the relations of the nations one another for rarely in late years has great alteration been effected in short time.
 From the prospects before the present outlook it appears that peace may bring with responsibilities for great any imposed by the itself. The British are eager to have us follow up in battle by launching out upon career ot territorial expansion that will render us desirous of alliance with themselves, and not few jngoes at home are willing enough to accept the counsel that to us from that source. It will be worth while how ever to look twice before enter upon the career of imperialism. It will not be easy path to pursue, and in the end it will require of vast sacrifices ot wealth and of lives.
 The London Spectator, with candor that IS to De commended, recently admitted that our territorial expansion would impose heavy responsibilities upon us but argued that 1t would be for our good to accept them In striking passage 1t said:
 "The worlds future greatly depends upon the Pol1t- ical character of the Americans When in Io5o they are they can crush any people except the Savs. To fit them for that destiny the Americans should have difficulties, dependencies and complicated relations with the remainder of mankind At present everything is too easy for them They live too much to themselves They must learn to govern as well as to be governed, and must add to their splendid patriotism the English gift of cold and lofty tolerance They must keep subordinate governments as free from corruption as their Supreme Court"
 This prophecy of our future greatness is undoubt- edly enticing but the question remains whether we might not achieve much better future by avoiding those difficulties and dangers that going to make life harder for us The desire to find a capable of whipping the Savs makes the British very con siderate toward us in these days for at the present time the Slavs are threatening the British empire We can hardly avoid distrusting friendship that confessedly desires to make life less easy for In making peace with Spain should arrange it on terms that will not involve in future nor leave burdens upon the coming generations of our people.

RUssIA's DRINK REFORM.

The Russian Government is now intro- ducing spirit shops" of the so-called fourth class" The managers of the shops of the three classes hitherto in ex- salary, and have to deposit a certain sum of money as a guarantee, in case of em- bezzlement This deposit hindered the where no managers could be found pos sessing the guarantee required. The 'fourth-clasS shop removes this diffi- culty, as it consists only in a permission granted to a local inhabitant to buy spir- its from the nearest Government shop and resell them in his own cottage for a small remuneration. This is fresh, cruel and
 treacherous outrage which the Russian Government Is committing upon the peo- pie in carrying out the so-called drink

4 HOLIDAY PROPOSITION.

F LUSHED with glow of ardent patriotism
 reused to the height of genuine enthusiasm by the achievements O our army and navy dur ing the war; the St. Louis Chronicle calls upon the press of the country unite with 1t n advocating that the day on which Spain signs the treaty of peace be set aside as public holiday to be commemorated in each succeeding year the anniversary of the be- ginning of a era in our history.
 That the people will feel like celebrating the vic tories and gores of the is beyond question, and some form of celebration or thanksgiving will doubt less be carried in almost every section of the Union. That much is both natural and advisable. The plan of making an annual festival of the day, proposed by the ChroniciG is however, too am bilious There is no sufficient reason for commem- orating this any than the war Of 1872 or the war with Mexico, and if such attempt made it would fail by reason of a lack of popular interest in it.
 We have now more national holidays than we have the spirit to celebrate Christmas, the Fourth of July, Decoration day and Thanksgiving day are about as many grand holidays as people care to keep Great and ardent the respect and love with which the memory of Washington is universally cherished in this country the annual celebration of his birthday IS very largely perunctory observance
 The war with Spain has been but episode in history and public interest in it will pass away By this time next year very few people would to close their places of business aside from their work to listen to orations the Cuban war; or hear Dewey's victory celebrated in an original poem.
 A celebration this year, however, would be most appropriate and would make pleasing interlude in the strife of party politics that is soon to be raging When the volunteer boys marching home they should be met with patriotic welcome, and general festival might be held in their honor.
 We are much given in this country to the holding If CarnivaIc Of Dapea0ts and Darades In every State in the Union one or more of these are held every summer or fall. It would be proper this year to devote such festivals to the celebration of peace with victory and honor but that would be enough The new era will bring us enough good things without adding to them another national hoi- day, when we have already more than the people generally are able to attend to.

THE WIGMAG MAN.

Oh, the wigwag man is a very funny lad, As he stands with his Wtgwag flag on a knoll, And wigwags, wagwigs news good or bad To a far distant WigWag man quite as droll.
 And he wigs up, wags down,
 WagS left, wigs right.
 Wiggle-Waggles in the froWn
 Of battles raging might. And the wigwag flag all around is red. That for war; and the center is white, for peace. For it wigs for the living and it wags for the dead, And not for moment does the wigwag cease.
 And it wigs that, wags this,
 Ways death wigs life Wiggle-waggles in the hiss
 Of battles awful strife. Oh, the .wigwag man is a very shining mark, As he stands with his wigwag flag on the spot, And .wigwags, wagwigs till a bullet harki The wigwag falters out, while going down, I'm shot!''
 But it wigs up, wags bold,
 Ways rear, wigs van,
 Wiggle-waggles in the hold
 Of another wfgwag man.

c q q . . . 2 Q Q . A heaVy Soulh- ern Pacific freight train had tete-a-tete with the only cow that Silvano owned and now there Is no COW. After tears came real anger and then a consultation with a wise man, who advised Silvano to sue the company if they refused to re- cornpense him for his cow. A letter was written to the claims adjuster of the Southern Pacific in which a poverty stricken Italian and a pulverized cow that would give milk no more were the chier features The claims adjuster sidetracked the letter and thereby proved his ability as a money saver to the company. Sil- vano did not like the silence of the com pany, and after obtaining the advice of the most learned of his tribe set out for the city to prosecute his claim in person. He discovered the office of the claims ad- iuster and obtained admittance. After in troducing himself and stating his business with tears in his voice the claims adjus- ter began his work
 Now we can settle this matter out of court" he said. Tt is very small mat ter and there is no sense of rushing into the courts. Do you know, sir, that you have been criminally negligent in allow ing that COW to escape its confines and trespass on the property of the company, endangering the lives of all people on every train that might have passed the place of the cows dissolution? You put into jeopardy the lives of the employees of the railroad company who were on the train. You subjected the property of the Southern Pacific Company to almost cer- tain destruction which by the most for tuitous circumstance did not happen. You"
 "Meester," the Italian broke in with quivering voice, 'I am a vera poor man. I giva you desa two dolla, all de mon I hava, sure" The claim was thus ad- justed.
