CoRRoRORkTiVE TESTIMONY

OBscryant Americans do not
need the aid of foreign opinions in
forming an estimate of the iucom-
potency shown by our War De
partmcnt in the conduct of the
Santiago campaign, but the fact
that the press of Europe, notably
that of England, unites in CRITICS
ing the management Of our army
is sufficient evidence that the cause
for adverse criticism is beyond
partisanship.
The trend of expert opinion
abroad is invariably to the effect
that the Santiago army was one Of
the finest andmost eXecrably han
died in tho history of the world.
The blunders of the various bu-
reauS which marred the efficiency
Of the army are compared with the
wocful lake Of gencralship display
ed by the British during the
Climcan war. Santiago is com
pared with Sebastopol, and it is
argued that our campaign was con
Quoted even less inteIligently than
the worst managed siege in English
history.
AS corroborativc testimony
alone these expressed views are
valuable. The foreigners are
wondering whether the American
people will permit the scandalous
management Of ourarmy to 90 I'M
investigated. They are criticising
American war correspondents who
sent home stories of glory and sup
pressed or made light of the official
crimes which wlntonIy sacrificed
our soldiers.
In the meantime, however, the
inside history Of the War Depart
ment for the past four months is
gradually unfolding. Mistrust Of
Secretary AIgcr and his favoritics
rs giving way to Indignation.
Every State which sent soldiers
with Shaftcr ''WantS to know" ="
The republican press OF New En-
gland realizes that there is Il sllcl-
cton in the War closet. The iudg-
ment Of the American people will
be not less effective for having
been suspended. There will be an
investigation, but the punishment
cannot atone for the Official chican-
cry which has already scandalizcd
the world.-St Louis Republic.

l''ttIlutt IHsi ~ 4hs. .hNlrs A9u ~ lOuO'I
Slightly cooler weather charac-
terized the week ending August
Is, with good showers over all
sections Of the territory excepting
some portions of the extreme north.
The rains were especially beneti-
cial over the southern counties.
where growing crops were begin
ming to suffer from the drouth.
The statement is made that in the
vicinity Of Las Cruces some Of the
crops have been saved by the re
cent rains. 1t seems that the dit
cbes washed out by the recent
heavy rains have been repaired,
and there is at present no com
plant Of lack Of water.
The weather has been favorable
for harVcsts, and in all excepting
the latest sections the wheat and
second crop of alfalfa have been
secured in excellent condition.
The yield Of wheat seems to be
very satisfactory. Corn fields con
tinue to make vigorous growth,
and the crop seldom if ever looked
more promising. Gardens are
turning out very successfully, and
the different products are plentiful
in the markets. However, in the
vicinity Of Aztec, in San Juan
county, considerable damage is be-
inc caused by the bean bug. Mel
ons are being shipped from central
and southern counties; also toma-
toes. Nothing has occurred to in
jurc the good prospects OF the sug-
ar beet crop. Late fruits are
ripening in the best Of condition,
but are not expected to be abun-
dant as in some former years.
Grapes continue growing vigorous
Iy. There Is some report Of dam
age to crops from grasshoppcrs in
the southern sections Of the ter
ritorY The ranges continue to be
reported IN excellent condition, the
recent rains proving of great ben.
eft to those Of the southern past
ures, which had begun to dry ur
in some localities. All reports in
dictate that stock continue in very
good condition.

"THE rule of the majority" "a

"THE rule Of the majority" says
tho Augusta Free Press, "is very
easy. The obedience Of the mi.
nority is harder. And yet it is
upon the latter that tho perma-
hence of democratic government
depends. In speaking of a demo.
cratic form Of government We are
too apt to get these terms con.
tsunded. No form Of government
on earth comes so near being based
upon the golden rule. Do as you
would be done by. Submit with
the same grace if you are loser,
that you would expect from your
opponent IN case you are winner"
This is tho foundation principle of
democracy.

Complaint has been lodged with
The Times that there is a dearth
OF hitchracks and a superAuity of
give Dollars Fine" signs in our
city. The former is no doubt true,
and our merchants should see to il
At once that such convenienees are
plentiful and easy of access. Life
is made up of little things, and so is
the attraciiveness of a town. SO
II wc would draw a large patronage
srom the people, we must provide
for their necessities while they arc
within our gates. AS to the signs:
They are necessary in order to
protect improvements and enclos-
ures. Where there arc plenty OF
hitchracks, the signs will not be
so noticeable. II is to the dis.
credit Of our city that these racks
do not abound, and detrimental to
lis trade, and We hope that this
notice will be sufficient to cause
shcm to be supplied, and at once.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered with
Scrofu.ous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"when five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. III
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarssparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparills
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and it has never since returned"

One of the most encouraging
signs of the times was noted last
Saturday in comparing the size
and enthusiasm of tho two public
meetings which were held at the
Court house. Tho first was q
political meeting-the township
convention-whlch by advertise
ment and personal endeavor
brought out not more than ten
citizens, who quickly transacted
tho business before them and ad.
journed. The second was an agri.
cultural meeting-the potato grow
ers meet-and there were in attend.
ance not less than fifty of the most
substantial citizens of the county.
The meeting was harmonious
throughout and developed an in.
tense interest In the advancement
of all that pertains to the great
and grand work of the farm. We
say this is encouraging. Politics
are u necessity, of course, and
every voter should devote a por-
ton of his time TO the political
welfare of his country, but we
have heretofore had too much poll
tics and not enough organization
and advancement Of the farming
interest. We are glad to note that
these conditions are being reversed,
and we feel that prosperity will be
the reward of continued effort
along this line.

The organization of the potato
growers of this county last Satur.
day, was a stop in the right direc.
lion, and will no doubt result in
benefit to all concerned. Hereto.
tore with no system, the crop has
been rushed into market, and the
cagerness TO sell has resulted in
deprecated prices. With organi.
zauon, the crop IS moved by the
agent, who keeps pace with the
markets and prices. No middle
mans profits cuts any fgure-the
producers bring in the potatoes
the agent does the rest. 1t is ex.
pected that the advance ia prices
secured in this way will pay the
associations agent, besides Ieav.
ing a comfortable margin above
tho prices which are obtained at
home. But the growers must be a
unit TO assure success; and it is
confidently hoped that all will en-
roll their names-whether they
plant one acrelQr hundred.
