1t is known that from these licensed

hired to lure from the audience those

these places should not be permitted

ALGER VISITS FORT MYER.
Something Learned About the Mis-
take of Overlooking.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Secretary AL
ger. with Mrs. Alger, paid a visit to
Fort Myer last evening and inspected
the hospital there and the arrange
ments for the treatment of the cases
of fever from Camp Alger. These were
found to be OF the first order. The
surgeons in charge are supplied with
everything conducive to the comfort OF
the patients that money can buy.
II was d noticeable fact that many
of the sick soldiers complained of hun
ger, and this in spite of the fact that
they are given all the food that the
nature OF their ailments will permit Of.
Few OF the visitors to the army hos
pital who see the typhoid patients,
emaciated in appearance, calling for
: food realize that to grant their desire
Pre- solid food would be to condemn
the patients to death; that the imme-
date result of the administration of
anything more than limited quantities
OF liquid food would cause perforation
OF the inflamed inteStineS, hemorrhage
and death.
Secretary Ayers attention has been
strongly directed towards this fact by
the reports that come TO him from the
medical officers Of the field and garri-
son hospitals. Major Taylor, the sur
geon in charge at the Fort Mcpherson
(Ga.) hospital has suffered from adj
verse criticism, based or the observa-
ton of inexperienced visitors, and
while he has refrained from answering
criticisms publicly in newspapers, he
has submitted the facts to the war de-
partment. His statements exactly bear
out the observations of Secretary AL
ger as to the mistakes made in as
Stunning that the patients were under
fed. Moreover, Major Taylor takes oc-
casion to show by figures just what
he has done for the patients in the
matter of food and attendance. His
bill for milk alone is $500 per month;
he mas more ice than can be used,
either for drinking purposes or for the
patients; he provides a special diet in
specially arranged kitchens; he has II
trained nurses, over 100 hospital at
PENDANTS and employees, and numerous
laborers 10 clean the mess halls and
tents.
Secretary Alger says that criticisms
that have beer passed upon the hos
pitfalls are but samples of those that
come from all hospitals, and are from
unprecedented observers, whose expert
ence enables them to give a fair opIn-
ion.

IDAHO POPS COME TOGETHER
CONSOLIDATION OF TICKETS
NOW LIKELY.
If Gum Stands In the Way He Is
Willing TO Step Down-Gossip
About United States Marshal.
(special to The Herald.N

Boise, Ida, Aug. 31.-It Is expected
that within the next q hours the two
PoDulist state tickets will be CONSOLE
dated. Since the adjournment of the
conventions brisk negotiations have
been under way to unite. No secret is
now made of the fact that when the
middle of-the-road, or Blake conven-
ton, adjourned, it was understood any
or all the men nominated by it might
be taken down without objection if the
leaders of that wing thought best.
While il is expected most of the men
to be taken down. appear on the Blake
ticket. still several will likely be taken
off the Taylor ticket. The points in
controversy are the same as before
Gum was in control of the state COM
mittee. It seems tonight however,
that satisfactory settlement is near
at hand, although upon what basis
could not be learned. If Congressman
Gum stands in the way of a complete
reunion of the party, he is willing to
step down and out with the consent of
those who nominated him. This. it is
believed. viii not be necessary. In an
interview today he said.
Il will stop at nothing to reunite my
party
This statement told it all. With that
sort of feeling Dredominating there
seems to be little doubt that the two
factions will finally get together. 9th
ers who are on the ticket with him
speak in the most conciliatory terms
Gum agreed TO withdraw. but those
who dominated him insisted that he
shouia remain. stating TO the opposing
faction they would give up every other
nomination excepting their selection for
congress-.
Gossip concerning the United States
marshalship was rife today. The con-
test some time aGc narrowed itself
down to Joseph pinkham and Frank
Ramsey 1t was rumored that Senator
ShouD had sent in the name of Pink
ham. but no satisfactory confirmation
could be secured.

"You didn't mention the name of the
agent who furnished this letter. My
attention has been called TO the fact
that on the docket there is no name"
Colonel Henry beat his forehead, and
then said he had no memory for names

case, but he would know the man if
he saw him

Over It's Authenticity Hot Discussion
Will Ensue.

Washington, Aug 31.-Secretary AL
ger today received the report of Gen
erai II. v Boynton upon the state of
affairs in the hospitals at Camp
Thomas. The report is dated Aug %
The general reports that he visited all
the hospitals in the camp, without Civ
ing notice of his purpose, and adds:
Believing the death list of this camp
to afford an excellent standard by
which to measure its conditions as to
health ard hospital service, a full re-
port was obtained of all deaths in the
camp and its hospitals since its estab-
lishment in the middle of April last.
The result shows a total death list of
1S8 up to the end of this month, when
the breaking up of this camp began.
Between these dates, including regu-
lars and volunteers, fully $4,000
troops have been in camp in the Chick
amaaga park.

eminent. He has sufficient money from

wanted in the way Of milk. ice and

Washington. Aug. 31.-Surgeon Cen

statements made by Lieutenant Colonel
Nicholas Sem regarding the sanitary
conditions at Camp Wikoff. Quarter
master General Ludington said no re-
ports had reached him that the water
was bad, or likely to become so. The
point that Surgeon Sem makes is that
it will soon become infected with ty-

DOCTORS GALORE.

Major Carter has a corps of doctors
which he regards as amply sufficient to
care for all the patients in the hospital
and reports them as faithful and eff
Gent in the performance of their du-
ties.
Taking uD the Sternberg hospital in
charge of Major Griffen, General Boyn-
ton shows it is one of the most COM
plete field hospitals ever seen, accord
ing 10 veterans of the last war All
the tents are closely fioored, and they
are separate, at present only four men
being In any one tent. and in addition
10 the tents there are nine large board
pavilions. Every tent and pavilion has
woven wire mattresses, iron bedsteadS
and hair mattresses. There are special
diet cooks. five cold storage roofs FOR
del1cacieS, separate refrigerators for
each row of tents, and every proper
measure of sanitation is observed with
respect TO the sinks. Further, the re-
port says:
The whole place is most carefully
policed daily. and the whole establish
ment within and without its permanent
buildings and its tents, is in the most
perfect order
Since the establishment Of this hos
I'ital everything asked for in the way
of supplies of every kind has been
promptly furnished.
1t is stated in addition that all the
hcs9ital reuse is burned in a crema-
tory, and. according to Major Griffen,
all Of the 200 patients now sick in the
entire camp could be safely moved now.
The diseases are more of a tyoho-ma-
larial character than of typhoid fever
strictly, the death rate being very low,
about s per cent of the worst cases.
The first division hospital, in charge
Of Major Drake. is fioored with planed
lumber. and it is as clean as possible,
scrubbed with carbolic acid and treated
with bichlOride of mercury every other
day. All the patients are on cots, and

do not care to have the majority of the
people of Wheeling see this city state
ment. else that some paper would
have been the Register, which has,
VIGOROUSLY, very much larger circu-
lation than the newspaper selected.
But, possibly. the plea Of economy
will be made in defense of this petty
act of petty spite by petty men. In
this connection, we recall that some
twenty years ago the city was in hard
straits and economy had to be en-
forced. A resolution was passed by
Council calling for bids from the
newspapers for the publication of the
city statement. The Register made a
bid at a low figure. The Intelligencer
made none. The statement according
ly was published in the Register alone
The Intelligencer, thereupon, proceed
ed to indulge in wild and prolonged
howl against the injustice the outrage
of publishing the city statement in but
one paper of the city, thus depriving
all those who did not read that one
paper Of seeing the annual statement
of the city's financial condition. Now,
however. the Inteligencer looks with
silent complacency on a proceeding
that limits the publicity of the city
statement much farther than that, not
even allowing the newspapers to bid
on the publication, according
to the law, but giving it to a
paper of less circulation in reward
for its slavish adherence to the city
hall ring and its support of the rings
schemes to blk the taxpayers, but
chiefly, as we have shown. to give vent
to petty and malicious spite against
the Register, which has stood in the
way and baked those schemes.
The situation as it stands does not
present certain gentlemen up at the
city hall in very good light. The
Register will try to make that light as
strong as possible, however. If the
hog combine" can stand it the Reg
lister certainly can.

Statp for a man with money in which to
make more money. but it takes a mighty
hustle for d poor man to keep from being
always poor.-Wetzel Democrat.
Col. McEldowney, rail not against
West Virginia in this fashion. She is
as much Gods country as any on this
green earth-perhaps more-and the
blessings Of kind Providence are as
equally and bountifully distributed
here as anywhere in the world
True, you speak nothing but the
gospel truth when you say 1T takes
a mighty hustle for a poor man to Keep
from being always poor" but, Col.
Bob. where will you find things diff
ferent?
Not in the United States. And if not
here, then, certainly nowhere. You
point out that West Virginia lis rich
State in natural resources, therefore
the condition of things is not the fault
of the State nor of bOuntiful nature.
1t can only be the fault of the men that
govern, not only in West Virginia, but
in the nation, and of the laws they
have made.
The remedy, then is at the ballot
box and to the end that the evil, which
is apparent to all, may be remedied,
Col McEldowney, pursue the common
sense path you have always trodden,

brilliant intellect to the service of the

ed the queen and set up a government
of their own. They have had plenty
of time to consult the people of the
country and find out to a certainty
whether they wish to have their coun-,
try annexed to the United States
President Dole admits that they have
done nothing of the kind
Some of us in this country who still
believe in the doctrine of self-goyern-
ment enunciated in the declaration Of
independence would like to know why
Some of us would like to know why
the Hawaiian people have been given
no chance to say for themselves what
they wish their political destiny to be,
and whether they wish to part with
their sovereignty
We remember that within few
hours after the dethronement of the
queen the Dole government sent COM
missioners to offer the country to the
United States. 1t looks to us as if
there was no intention from the first
to give the Hawaiians anything to say
about annexation. The adopting of
constitution disfranchising from so to
80 per cent of the population without
so much as submitting that instru
ment to the enfranchised 10 or 20 per
cent also looks like that. 1t looks as
if the Americans in Hawaii were an ar
rogant, domineering crowd who regard
natives, Portuguese and Asiatics as
cattle having no rights which they are
bound to respect.
If they can keep on top without out
side help let them do so. But we want
no oligarchy in which eight ST nine
tenths Of the population are denied all
political rights either as a State or IN
organized territory of the American
union, which is republic OF self-gov-
erning people if it is not a political i'm
poster among nations.
