Work of Mastering Out Will Begin About
January 1.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The war de-
partment has not made definite plans
for the muster-out of the $4,000 volun-
teers which was decided ON at the cab
met meeting Monday, but it is under
stood that this work will be pretty well
mapped out by the first of the year.
The time required to complete the mus.
ter-out will depend on whether the de-
partment adopts the plan of a three
months furlough or an immediate dis
charge with two months extra pay, as
suggested by Congressman Hull. 1t
has practically been decided to muster
out all the volunteers in the Philippines
as fast as they can be replaced with
regulars. The volunteers at this sta
ton at present are: The Aston battery;
batteries A and d, California; A and
B, Utah, and First Wyoming artillery;
First California, First Colorado, First
Idaho, Twentieth Kansas, Thirteenth

MISUNDERSTANDING YEAR.
RIG. Dun g. Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade.
Failures For the Week,

NEW YORK, Dec. PAR. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: 1t
is year beyond parallel and goes to its
close with the biggest volume of bust
ness ever seen. Enormous transactions
at the stock exchange makes some differ
ence and heavy railroad earnings, but
when all the transporting and specula-
tive inter ests are eliminated there is
still much larger business than in any
other month of any month. Last year
the exports were in volume greater than
in any previous month in the history of
the country, but this month the three
weeks report shows an increase of %
per cent against 8 per cent in imports,
which would indicate much more than
$4,000, 900 excess of exports this month.
The payments through clearing houses
have been for the week 25.5
per cent greater than in 1892, and
for the month 17.S per cent last
year and 1874 per cent greater than
larger than in 1892. Until now no
greater volume of business has ever
been done in the history of this country
than in the closing month of this year.
Shipments of wheat have been 81
1856, 704 bushels, -four included, at At
lantic ports, against 3,698, 321 last year,
although western receipts for three
weeks have been 25,088,32l bushels,
against 10,308,929 last year, fact
which the believers in small crop may
well consider. Considering the enormous
exports from July to date, exceeding
last years, one can only wonder that
the outgo this year has been so large
and the price has risen during the week
1Rc. Corn exports also have been
S,S24, 1886 bushels, against 4,540,6 last
year, and for the month thus far H.
012,13S against 10, 1851, 4O7 last year. The
price has advanced about 23sc, but the
continued foreign demand is astonish-
ing.
Failures for the week have been 25S,
against 292 last year.

Democracy's Confession.

The conference of democratic leaders
at Des Moines the other day in which it
was decided to change tactics somewhat
on the silver question, was most i'm
portant meeting. The conclusion to
throw overheard the Is to theory is
confession of defeat on that issue. If
the democratic leaders of Iowa would
all make confessions on this subject
there would be revealed the fact that
many of them for the past two years,
have been smothering their convictions
for the sake of acting with their party.
AS proof of this we have but to refer to
their state convention at Dubuque in
1896 in which powerful minority con-
sisting Of Gov. Boies, several members
of the state committee and many other
strong men Of their party, opposed the
adoption Of free coinage at 16 to /. The
temporary chairman of the convention
placed there by the state committee
even made radical sound money speech.
But after the convention nearly all of
them fell into line and have been advo-
eating free silver in half hearted way.
After their signal failures in three cam
paigns they have at last concluded to
not try again and are looking for some
other issue. The return of prosperity
concerning which they 80 continuously
sneered during 1896 and 1897, but con-
corning which they are maintaining a
respectful silence now, has paralyzed all
that remained of their free silver argu-
meut.
OF course it does not now make very
much difference to republicans upon
what the democrats choose to make
their campaign next year, except as
matter of curiosity. The democratic
party is under the necessity of selecting
among the cast off and rejected opinions
of the public some one or two principles
upon which to construct the main part
/ of their platform of opposition, but
whether this shall be anti-expansion,
free trade or free silver, the republican
party will likely sweep the country all
the same.

sense of smell and completely derange
the whole sytem when entering it

The Old Year.

With this week closes 1898. In many
respects it has been most remarkable
year. To our readers we hope it has
brought prosperity and blessings and
it's full share of sunshine and hap
piness. TO MS as people ithas brought
full measure of material blessings.
To us as a nation it has been loaded
with achievements that will be historic
through all time.
fhe blowing up of the battleship
Maine, our war with Spain, Dewey's
victory at Manila, the victory OH land
at Santiago, the destruction of Ger
veras fleet, the surrender of the east
of Cuba, and the conclusion of the
treaty of peace with Spain by which
it relinquishes all its possessions i'll
America and the Philippines, is aseries
of events of sufficient Importance to
mark the year indellibly OH the memory
of our people. This year the waning
strength of Spain, "A long time the
great colenizing and conquering power
of Europe, has at last snapped asunder.
This year the rising power of the New
Republic has asserted itself i'll the i'll
ternatlonal affairs of the world and we
have assumed our share of the respon-
siblities of the worlds government
and misgOyernment. This year we
have said to at least one domineer-
ing and tryannous nation, "Thus far
shalt thou go in thy wrong doing, but
no farther"
This year we have observed the
spread not only of The ideas of expan-
sion of our nations influence in other
parts of the world, but we have ex-
perienced at home unity between the
feelings and the sentiments of the peo-
pie of the north and south not known
before for several generations. Fer
many years before the rebellion the
north and south were at swords points
over slavery and after the war, bitter
ness concerning the great struggle still
fingered in the minds of the people of
9th sides. This year, partly owing to
the new ideas that have solidified the
people, and partly owing to the wise
and patriotic course of President Nc
Kinley, sectional feelings between the
north and south have been largely
obliterated.
The year brought big responsibilities,
but it appears that, with Gods help,
our nation has met them. May the
coming year be freighted with its full
amount of JOY and blessings.

MILES ORDERS AN INVESTIGATION!
Large Consignment of Beef Reached tn
Army Unfit For Use.


Large Consignment Of Beef Reached the
Army Unfit For Use.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 24.-General Miles
returned to Washington yesterday
When asked as to the investigation into
the beef ration scandal he is now max
ing, General Miles said: "My sus-
picions were aroused several months
ago and at once instituted an investi-
cation into the matter of sending beef
to the army in the West Indies. The
item in my testimony of Wednesday,
relating to 1927 tons of refrigerator beef
and 10000 pounds Of canned fresh
beef which was unfit for food, was only
an item. This quantity was sent to one
town in Porto Rico alone. How much
more was sent to Porto Rico and Cuba
do not know"
General Miles suggests that the food
was sent to his large army under pre-
tense of an experiment. II think, I"
continued General Miles, "that that
sentence is sufficiently plain. Pre-
tense" he said, sis the precise term to
be used. 1t is absurd to pretend these
enormous quantities of beef were sent
to an entire army simply as an expert
ment. To expect that beef can be ex-
posed to the tropical sun for 60 hours
without notifying is out Of the ques-
ton"

preparing this beef?'
