Revolution In Italy.

TIE recent bread riots in Italy are believed
to be simply mutterings before the storm. The
trouble is the people are overtaxed. A great
part Of their earnings is taken by the govern.

and the end Is likely to be the same in the
American revolution Many men and women
try to do too much. They overtax their system

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record says that when
the time comes to muster out the
Naval Reserves from Illinois, it is
proposed to return them to Chicago
in body. Instead of diseharging
them one or two at time to go home
as individuals as the ships return
north, the navy department is con-
templating a plan to return them to
Chicago in body. This is to be
done in recognition of the cOnspicu-
oUsly meritorious conduct shown by
TIE men from Illinois in their hearty
response to tire call for volunteers
when the fighting ships of the navy
were short-haaded, and good men 80
Ill out their complement were unob
tainable. Commander Hawley, who
visited Moline, and who mustered in
the Illinois men, has taken the matter
in charge, and he says that too much
cannot be done to pay the debt of
gratitude the nation owes the mem
bers of these battalions.

There is a Probability Now That Com
Island Before Many weeks-Orders TO
gen. Miles as TO Returning the
Troops
Present indications are that Com
panies A, of Rock Island. and F, OF
Moline. will be home from the war
within a few weeks. This afternoon s
Associated Press dispatches brought
two announcements as to the United
States troops in Porto Rico. One is
to the effect that Gen. Miles has re-
ceived orders to send home from Porto
Rico all troops net actually needed
for service, and some will, it is eX-
pected, sail today or tomorrow with
New York City as their destination.
Sixth to Be Mustered Out.
The other order which is locally
significant, especially in this connec-
ton, is one mastering out the 9th Ill
inois infantry. This is the regiment
to which our boys are attached, and
unless some mistake as to the num-
Der of the regiment is made in the
transmission of the information, it
means that the department is getting
ready to relieve the boys promptly on
their arrival so that they may come
on forthwith to Illinois and thence to
their homes. Rock Island will pre-
pare royal welcome for her heroes,
for they have seen the real article of
service, and have had a taste of actual
warfare.
Ex-Mayor and Mrs. Henry Carse re-
oeived another letter from their son,
John, today. 1t was written at Ponce,
Porto Rico, and speaks of many of the
troops as shoeless. which accounts for
the retaining of part of the 9th at
Ponce at the time.

The Fire in the Rear.

During the War of the Rebellion
the soldiers fighting for the Union as
the incessant fire in the rear from rebel
sympathizers in the north who had not
the courage to join the Rebellion and
battle for their convictions. Unlike
the Confederate who fought bravely in
the interest of what he believed to he
just cause, the cowardly northern
sympathizers confined their efforts to
carping and sneers at the soldier at
the front The work of the northern
traitors, while having little effect on
the real issue, did much TO influence
feeling of sympathy for the rebels
among the residents of foreign coun-
tries and was in that way mischievous
in results. The war with Spain seems
to have developed a class of fault
finders in the present generation who
while perhaps not sympathizing with
Spaniards, never allow an opportunity
to criticize the president, war depart
ment officials and army and navy off,
GERS to pass unheeded.
Many Of our esteemed contempor-
aries. it is believed. could be in better
business at this period than publishing
hysterical editorials that condemn
military and naval leaders at the front
whose skill and sagacity have ena bled
American soldiers and seamen to
achieve victories that are without
parallel in history. From the manner
in which some of the American leaders
have been attacked it seems as though
they had been guilty of high treason.
1t is the duty OF every decent Ameri-
can newspaper to uphold the officers
in command of troops in time of war
rather than seek to belittle them be-
cause of some fancied breach OF eti-
quette or neglect TO distribute praise
to the extent that the editors may think
necessary. Tho writer's who debase the
columns Of their papers with such ex-
hibiti1ns OF petty spite against men in
command of our forces at the front
are even more despicable than the cor
respondent Scovel as their attacks are
more cowardlv and vicious than that
of the foolish youth who slapped the
face Of General Shafter. 1t must be a
matter of surprise to the readers oi
many of these papers to be confronted
with such foolish exhibitions of rancor
Let us refrain from making war upor
our army and naval officers, at least
until the difficulty with Spain has beer
adjusted.

PENITENCE.

The mercury now glistens as 1t glides
Along the tiny tube with numbered sides,
And each citizen Crews sadder,
For you've got to get ladder
II you wish to ncte the height 10 which It
slides.
gentle billow sweeps the asphalt pave
And to cross the street you must be cool
and brave.
Overshoes-you fain would use them,
But you're liable to lose them
If your feet are overtaken by the wave.
Yet, when these summer days have hur-
ried by,
For happiness we still will vainly try.
In the chill OF January
We will be rogretful, very,
For our impolite remarks about July.

CASE FOR INVESTIGATION.
From the Medical Record New York;.

From the Medical Record (New York;.
The transport Seneca arrived at this
port on July 20. with nearly one hundred
sick and wounded from Santiago on
board, among whom wer fourteen men
with a suspicious fever. The ship was in
a filthy condition. short OF food and wa
ter, without any medical or surgical suo-
plies or instruments. not even dressings
for the wounds or a single clinical ther-
mometer. In one case an aoscess was
opened with the blade OF jacknife, no
scalpel being obtainable. When the cap
tain was ordered to take the sick SOL
diers, he protested that there were no
cGnVeniences or even necessities for them
on the ship but his objections were over
ruled by some one at Siboney. WA
that some one was is a proper subject
for investigation by the military authori-
ties, and when found his punishment
should be such as to deter others in COM
mand from like brutality. The affair was
disgrace to the army and the country
and. as many foreign military attaches
were on board the Seneca. our shame
will be published to the world.

As to a Protectorate.

The opinion that America should hold
the Philippines as a trust gains ad-
herents every day. Even among those
who are much averse to the ACQUISITION
OF new territory, there is a strong re-
pugnance to the idea OF relinquishing
the control of the islands to Spain
when the barbarities of centuries will
be repeated. We may not want these
possessions beyond the need Of estab-
fishing there q coaling station. We
may see nothing IN the prospective
ownership but trouble and expense for
years to come, and yet the instincts Of
humanity protest against yielding the
results Of this seemingly providential
victory to the hands SO manifestly un-
fit for its government. To cede it to
any one OF the other nations that stand
watching the great coup in this end OF
the century game, would be to pro-
duce a condition OF feeling whose re-
suits could not but be deplored. It is
a situation unique from every stand
point and unparalleled in all history.
1t is problem. the gravity of which

sell his last stick, pawn his Wife's we'd

Of his countrymen an empire fell. He
knows that a regiment of them took Mex
leo and another Peru. He has listened to
the story of the battle of Las Navas de
Toosa, in which eighteen of his people
were killed and a hundred and twenty
thousands Sarrasins perished. He has
listened, too. to the tale of Salado, where
the death of twenty-four Spaniards was
balanced by the slaughter of a. hundred

him not wise but very proud. Between
a republic and a monarchy he is not al

govern ment consists in taxes, alcades and
police. Matters political interest him as
do the SHOWS OF yester-year. But on the
subject of the country at large, and par
ticularly at war, his views, if simple, are
