w ANTED PAY FOR
NURSING SICK SOLDIERS
Bushnell Said to Have Gotten Bills From
Lebanon (Pa.} Hospital-Hastings
Don't Believe 1t.

CAMP MEADE, MIDDLEToWN, Pa. :,
Sept. 30-Surgeon General Sternberg
has instructed Chief Surgeon Girard
to send no more patients to city hos
pitfalls from Camp Meade The conduct
of the trustees of the Good Samaritan
hospital of Lebanon is largely RESPONSE
BILE for the surgeon generals action.
After rendering the good offices of the
hospital staff and the facilities of the
institution to the medical department
of the Second corps. the trustees wrote
to Governors Pingree and Bushnell de-
handing pay for treating soldiers from
Michigan and Ohio.
These communications were for
warded TO the war department and
from there to Colonel Girard He at
once notified the trustees that they
would be allowed TO cents day for
each soldier patient and that no more
patients would be sent to that hospi tai
or to any other civil hospital.
The health conditions at Camp Meade
are such that Colonel Girard thinks it
will not be necessary to relieve the
hospitals by sending sick soldiers to in
situations away from Camp.
The Red Cross society is doing SPLEEN
did work and ii necessary the society
will ut up IL hospital in Philadelphia
for the care OF sick soldiers that may be
sent from Camp Meade.
Forty patients were sent to Lebanon
hospital after repeated offers from the
president and trustees of that institu-
zion.
Governor Hastings said last night
that he not believe any hospital in
Pennsylvania would send bill to the
governor of state for nursing sick
soldier away from home. ITO resort to
such thing, he added, would be un-
worthy of any hospital in the state, I'M
worthy of the patriotic sentiment of the
people and reproach upon the fair
name of our commonwealth"
Charles Robinson of Philadelphia, an
orderly at the Red Cross hospital was
stricken with typhoid fever Wednesday
night. He was removed yesterday to a
Philadelphia hospital.
There were several critical cases of

Three important railway systems, the
Louisville and Nashville, the Southern
Railway, and the Missouri Pacific, have
just announced a higher scale Of wages
for the coming year. During the hard
times these roads were compelled to
reduce the pay of their employees, the
carrying trade becoming so light as to
require the exercise of strict economy,
so that the announcement of a general
advance affords very pleasing proof not
only of the return of prosperity but OF
disposition on the part of these COR
porations to treat their men with fair
ness and consideration.
1t is said that the three roads men
toned made no reductions of wages
whatever so long as they had any mar
gins of profit with which to pay divi-
dends, and with return to satisfactory
business conditions the first thought of
the managers seems to have been of
their employees. Railroad corporations
are often subjected to unjust criticism,
but this appears to be case where
they deserve and will receive hearty
commentator.

congress. He never ran after false
,ds, nor was he misled by the ignis
ltuus of popularity nor deluded by the
lirage of political and financial falla-
les. Whatever question might arise,
he could always be depended upon to
stand for the constitution. for wise
craftsmanship and for justice and ma
tional integrity.
Senator Hoar was fully justified in
saying: "He was a man of consum-
mate wisdom. Looking back over his
public service of 80 years in the Sen
ate and IL years before that in the
House of Representatives during one
of the most stirring and eventful peri
DDS in human history, considering his
great share in shaping the history of
our country, it will be hard to find an
occasion where his judgment now
seems to have been wrong as to any
measure or policy of grave import
ance."
Senator Morrill, has left enduring
monuments Of his work. The tariff
act, which bore his name and has been
the foundation of all subsequent tariff
laws was his most conspicuous con-
tribution to the civil war legislation, and
of its success the abundant revenue
and rapid growth of the business of the
country were sufficient proof That
he did not approve of the length to
which his system has since been
pushed is common knowledge, and in
this he was in agreement with Gar
field, Blaine and other republicans
of eminence. The magnificent library
of congress, the immense war, state
and navy building, the government
support of agricultural colleges, the
dedication of the old hall of represen-
tatives as a hall of statuary and the
building for the federal supreme court,
whenever it is erected, will testify elo-
quently to the enlightenment, breadth
and liberality of the statesman who
sprang from a Vermont farm and viii

credit-a longer period than was ever

The Massachusetts lobster fisheries

The land lobster seems to be taking
the place of his marine brother in some
parts of Massachusetts, notably Boston
and Springfield-The Sun.
AS to the Worcester papers, they are
so thoroughly dominated by Senator
Hoar, that they must not be expected
to reason for themselves. When Sena-
tor Hoar votes to ratify the peace
treaty, as he undoubtedly will, then
The Spy will clap its hands in joy for
expansion Springfield Union.
No doubt this is all very funny, but
when a man laboriously sets out TO be
funny, he is very apt TO ignore truth
and sense. The Sun and the Union
have disregarded both, The Spy per
sistently and consistently opposed the
annexation of the Philippines for
months before Senator Hoar saw rea-
son for making his position on this
point known, either by published letter
or by public speech. Like every good
citizen, however, The Spy is prepared
to accept the decision of the majority,
when that is made clear, and to support
the government in all lawful constitu-
.ional acts. Nobody doubts that Sena-
tor Hoar is prepared to do the same
The Spy believes that the treaty of
Paris win be ratified, and probably
without amendment. Still, there is thaau-
thority of the three senatorial members
of the peace commission for saying that
the treaty does not bind our govern
ment to any specific disposition of the
newly acquired territory, and so far as
any information has been vouchsafed,
neither the administration nor the i'm
perialists as body have any definite
idea as to what should be done with
the islands. The Spy has had very well
defined opinions, and has not been timo-
rous in expressing them. On the whole,
it has been fortunate in being not only
on the right side, but on the popular
side of great public questions, for what
is right is pretty sure to be popular in
Massachusetts, and especially in Wor-
cester. Nevertheless, it would not be
frightened If it found itself in the min
GRITTY, and when the question of Philip
pine government comes up it will not
hesitate to oppose the rambling policy
Of reckless and hysterical imperialists.
If we are to have the Philippines on
our hands, The Spy may regret the
fact, but it will endeavor to make the
best of the situation, and prevent the
imperialists from making the worst of
it. Certainly, it will not assume ont
