Illinois w nr Treatment.

Hon. w. H. Hin richsen, representa-
tive in congress and fromer Illinois
secretary of state, writes an occasional
letter to the Chicago Chronicle from
the national capital. In the course of
a recent letter Mr.. Hinrichsen makes
the point on Presi dent Mckinley that
he did not treat the Prairie state
properly in the matter of military APP
pointments. He says:
The state of Illinois did not receive
a great deal of consideration from the
administration during the late war
Under the act creating the military
establishment all officers above the
rank of colonel in the state volunteers
were appointed by the president. Dur
ing the war President Mckinley ap-
pointe for the state troops 81 major
generals and II brigadier generals.
One brigadier general, Barley, was
appointed for Illinois, but he was
mustered out after a short term of
service. Our state furnished the full
quota of soldiers, say 5000, and this
on fair divide would have entitled
us to at least one major general and
to at least three brigadier generals,
but we had no major generals and but
one brigadier- So the Illinois soldiers
went to the war under the command
of generals from other states. The
president in his message and Secre-
tary Alger in his report both neglected
to mention the number of generals ap-
pointed from each state. Our sena-
tors seemed unable OF. unwilling to do
anything for the home people. Sena-
tor Mason was .out'lwith the presi-
dent and never got anything after his
famous speech in which he joined in
the democratic dem and for Justice on
the destroyers of the Maine. Sena-
ator Cullom was himself appointed
to Hawaii, and it is
possible that he regarded this as suf-
ficient compensation for the failure of
the president to give Illinois her share
of generals

HELP FOR THE ARMENIANS
A Cause Most Appropriate For Christmas
Eve Thoughts.

Eve Thoughts.
Rev. /. W. Allen, pastor of the Cen
trail Presbyterian church, is doing a
splendid work in Rock Island for the
aid of suffering and prosecuted Ar
menians. He has shown to The
ARGUS a number of stories of incl
dents of the atrocities shown by the
merciless Turk toward this helpless
and terribly prosecuted race of people.
Touching incidents are related of bar
barism in which little children were
the victims, and who, where they
were not made the subjects of the
same inconceivable wrath that struck
down their parents before their eyes.
were taken into bondage and treated
in a manner which, while perhaps
not so horrible, would have Jared bet
ter to have been dead. 1t is for the
aid of such of these children as well
as helpless women that the appeal
which Mr.. Allen represents is being
made in this country. Contributions
of any size, be they ever so small,
Mr.. Allen says, will be applied in such
manner as they will reach these dis
tressed and terribly prosecuted peo-
pie and enable them to escape further
torture and be uplifted by the hand
of christianity and humanity. Con-
tributions should be sent either to
Mr.. Allen or to Brown Bros. Il Co.

again emphasized his conviction that
the newly acquired isl inds should all
be free as soon as a sta pie government
is established, but he iissected Presi-
dent McKinley's arg 9ment that the
flag of the republic once raised on
foreign shore should never be hauled
down. The inconsistency of such a
position was shown b v Bryan in citing
the instances in the ~country's history
where the flag once raised on foreign
ground had afterw ard been lowered.
Said Byran: The flag is national

not the people for t, ne flag When the
American people wa mt the flag raised
they raise it; when hey want it hauled
down they haul it down. The flag
was raised upon Can a dian soil during
the war of 1912, an6 it was hauled
down when peace was restored. The
flag was planted M ION Chapultepec
during the war with Mexico, and it
was hauled down when the war was
over. The morning. papers announce
that Gen. Lee ordere the flag hauled
down in Cuba yeste rday, because it
was raised too soon. The flag will be
raised in Cuba again on the first of
January, but the president declares in
his message that it viii be hauled
down as soon as staI lie government
is established. Who will deny to the
people the right to ha al the flag down
in the Philippines, if they so desire,
when a staple govern tment is estab-
lished there? Our fla z stands for an
indissoluble union OF indestructible
states: Every state is represented by
a star, and every ter; itory sees in the
constitution a star O hope that will
some day take its place in the con-
stellation. What is there in the flag
to awaken the zeal or reflect the as
piration of vassal CT olonies, which are
too good to be cast away but not good
enough to be admitted to the sister
hood of states?'

so much has been said pro and
con about the resurrection of the
Western association from the big
(?) western towns, that something
from little town that belonged to
the circuit in 1898 might be of inter-
est. l see that Mr.. Van Brunt, of St.

Des Moines, Sioux City, Lincoln. St.

the railroad fares of such n circuit

necessary in forming baseball
league is compactness. 1t is we'll
known that St. Joe did not support
either the Western league or associ-
alton teams this year to any alarm
ing extent. Many smaller towns will
support ball clubs in better shape
and make them more money than big
towns, so don't think you can guage
the money to be made by a ball club

will take in more money for a good
club than ST. Joe, or I believe even
Omaha.
LAS for Ottumwa, she is willing to
go into a league on certain conditions,
which will be made known by its
representatives, who will attend any
meeting called for the purpose of
feorganizing. She stayed in the
league in '9S until the last dog, and
she will AGAIN.
