General Joe Wheeler, dem ocratic
member of congress and All eX-cOnfed-
crate, said before the war investigating
committee the other day: 81 ought to
say that it was magnificent to see
officers of high rank 60 ashore with
packs OIL their backs, accepting all the
fortunes of war with their men. They
slept OH the ground with the soldiers,
none Of us were mounted and we were
without tents for seven days" Gen
eral Lee, another democrat and ex
confederate said "No army OH earth
was ever so aDundantly supplied with
necessaries or Injuries" will the peo-
pie believe these men who know, or Il
few politicians here at home who don
know but want to gain partisan
advantage?

Just now special howl is being
raised against the administration for
appointing incompetent men to posi-
tons in the army. This cry coming
mainly from the free silver populiSts,
is the very height Of inconsistency.
he most notable example of an mex
perienced civilian getting an official
position is the case Of w. j. Bryan,
the great high priest and patron god
of the silver democrats. Yet SO great
was tie pressure brought by his fol
lowers upon the president, he was COM
ptlled to permit "A regiment TO be
organized specially to give Mr. Bryan
little advertising. AS it happened
his command never reached critical
place, but if it had ever come to the
actual test of war we might have had
most notable lesson of the danger OF
appointing inexperienced army officers.
There were no doubt other cases be-
sides that of Bryan where political
pulls got army places, but none quite
so glaring. But as we said it is the
acme of Inconsistency for the populists
to raise such howl over an "evil' of
which their own leader affords the
most conspicuous instance.-Red Oak

THE ADVOCATE SHOULD BE FAIR

The Advocate says "the REPUBLICAN
contends that American soldiers were
treated as well as they deserved to be. "
We have not commended for anything
of the kind. The Advocate apparently
desires TO misrepresent us OH that
question. We ask it to quote from
our columns IL single sentence that
signifies that we thought our soldiers
got as good us they deserved. On the
contrary the editor of this paper has
always thought there is nothing in
reason that is too good for those boys
who have left home to uphold our
country's honor and humanity's cause
OH land and sea. We have opened our
columns to considerable matter in ad
vocacy OF paying The soldier better
wages and have written several articles
favoring the same.
What we have contended is that the
howl that has gone up from some
democratic papers that the soldiers
have been mistreated, abused and
many allowed to die through neglect,
all because OF the mismanagement
and incompetency of the military
management of the war department,
is wrong and intended to disgrace
Mckinley's administration with the
voters i'll the hope of making Il few
votes for a party very much in need Of
voles just now. We have been able to
show that some of that talk of mis-
treatment is untrue, greatly to the
chagrin of the Advocate. TO raise
such an issue is unpatriotic and is to
some extent disgrace to our politics.
! Ii the evidence showed there was cause
for such ii claim it would be different.
Nearly I'll the evidence now going in
before the committee shows our
soldiers We're cared for with all possible
care under the circumstances. That
some terrible hardships had to be ell
dured was natural and unavoidable.
A war can't he conducted even at this
late date, and the soldiers be given all
the comfort and plenty they
left behind.

The Advocate had nothing to say
last week about the exposure we made
on it's Gus Keith interviews. The
letter which we published from the
captain of Keith's company clearly
contradicted the statements as made
in those alleged interviews. With the
denial of the captain staring it in the
face the Advocate dare not say word.
The facts are the Advocate has been
making itself an instrument of mis-
representation of the condition of the
soldiers in the hope of gaining party
advantage.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known by the

constitutional disease, requires a con-

Above we present our readers with a
good picture of the man who, III all
probability, will be our next congress
man, Hon. Smith Mcpherson, of Red
Oak. 1t is good picture of an excel
lent man.
Smith Mcpherson was born in Nor
ton county, Indiana, III 1913. He had
common school education, and as a
young man worked OH the farm. He
graduated from the law school Of the
Iowa State University in 1870 and
went at once to Red Oak to practice
where at all times since he has resided.
He held the Office of district attorney
of the old Third Iowa district, COM
posed of eight counties i'll southern
Iowa, from 1874 TO 1880 and was
elected ATTORNEY General OF the state
in 1881 and served four years III that
position. Since then he has devoted
his time to his large and lucrative
law practice.
Mr.. Mcpherson is regarded at home
as a most excellent citiZ.n. He is
public spirited and liberal. He has

in the popular acceptation of the term,
he speaks from mature deliberation
and from conviction, and his sound

the nation has prospered in peace and
been successful in war. 1t is notorious
that in some states majorities are
counted with little regard for the will
of the majority of the voters and it
will be time enough to advocate the
amendment of the Constitution by
majority popular vote when every state
guarantees every voter his right to cast
his vote as he pleases, unhindered and
unmolested by others. Our forefathers
legislated wisely when they removed
the sudden changing of the Constitu-
tion from the special field of popular
elections, and still left it in the hands
OF the direct representatives of the
people.-Anit Republican.

ISRAEL PUTNAM IN CUBA.

His Experience as Lieutenant-Co Colonel
 in His Majesty's service-Side Light
 on History in an Old Orderly Book.
 A correspondent of the New York Times of recent date furnishes the fol- lowing interesting account of Israel Put nam's visit to Cuba in 1762.
 Tn connection with the sketch given in a recent editorial in the Times of the surrender of Havana, August 12, 1762, 1t may be called to mind that Lord Albemarle not anticipating so speedy a reduction of Cuba, had called for a reinforcement from the American colo nies.
 Israel Putnam, the forty-four years of age and lieutenant colonel in his Maiesty's service, went down to Cuba with a company from Connecticut They arrived after the fall of Moro Castle and were very welcome, for the soldiers had suffered seriously from ill- ness, and werey in a very weak state. The British had won g, splendid victory, seventeen Spanish ships had surrender ed one had been captured, one sunk, and one was blown up, while the loss was light on the other side. After a few weeks, however, the men had been affected by the climate, and many sue cumbed to fever. One of the orderly books, kept during portion of the stay of the troops on the island, has been preserved in the family of Israel Put nam of Pomfret. Only a portion of the blank book was used by the first writer. Israel Putnam preserved it and eleven years later wrote his own diary on the | blank pages.
 l THE EARLS STRICT DISCIPLINE How interesting this daily record might be! But the orderly ignores pos terity and touches only upon meagre | details. The Earl evidently made his men behave in restrained manner, though they were in a conquered town. l The first entry shows, too, that he in- sisted on respect being paid to the re- [ ligion of the inhabitants, therein fol- lowing England's usage which has been her great strength in her conquests of alien peoples. The first page runs as l follows, innocent of punctuation, with
