there is no insurance on the stock

Dewey May Be Retired.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Capt. r.
D. Evans name is prominently
mentioned as Rear Admiral
Bunce's successor in the New York
navy yard, now that it seems to be
decided that Rear Admiral Samp-
son will remain commander-in-
chief of the North Atlantic station,
and Rear Admiral Schley will be
assigned to sea duty in compli-
ance with his request.
Unless Congress should pass a
law authorizing him to remain on
the active list, Rear Admiral Dew
ey will be placed on the retired list
on Dec. Goth, 1899. Only one
other retirement Will occur next
year-tbat of Commodore II. l..
Howison, now commandant of the
Boston navy yard.
There is a strong sentiment in
naval circles in favor of the pass
age of law which will permit the
retention of Admiral Dewey upon
the active list for 10 years, as was
done in the case of heroes of the
Civil war.
Reports from Manila that Ad'
miral Dewey desires to return
home are not believed by depart
ment officials, their advices from
him indicating that he desires Il
remain in the Philippines. 1t il
not expected here that he will b'
detached from command of tn,
Asiatic station until just in time t.
reach the United States on the da.
of MS retirement.

Besides these awful records of death
and disease, the losses in cuba are some
and disease. the losses in Cuba are
somewhat paled by comparison, and
when it is remembered that these oc-
Cured to men who were in no way re-
sponsible through their own indiscre-
tions for their misfortunes the com
parison is still more striking.
No one desires to take from the vol
unteers of the late war the credit that
is due them, but it must be acknow-
lodged by the candid mind that too
many of the disasters were the result
of mistaken sentiment in insisting on
the keeping of regimental and company
organizations not fitted for actual SER
vice and the indisposition of class of
the men to observe rules that ordinary
common sense and military discipline
render indispensable.
And there is one other feature Of the
matter that is worthy of remark, and
1t is a pity that it should be So Now
that the men are at home the very
element in the volunteer ranks that has
prejudiced the whole volunteer service
in the eyes of many of our people is
adding TO the unfavorable impression
present time. Many Of the deaths that
have occurred in the ranks of the SOL
diers since their return have been due
to their own indiscretions. Worse than
this while the men are waiting to be
mustered out Of the service. while they
are living on the gratuities that they
have received from the state and the
city, some of these who are the cause
of whatever of criticism is due to their
whole commands are pursuing a
course that is disgraceful to them
selves and to their service.
1t is no infrequent sight, and how
great is the pity of 1t, to see groups of
these men in the uniform they are do
ing no credit to, in state of intoxica-
ton and idleness on the public streets
of this city. This is something that
is fast making those who have labored
for the volunteers and who have con-
tributed generously to the funds of the
relief association, sicken Of their work.
1t is true. and 1t is stated by more than
one member Of the Volunteers Aid AS

sociation that feeling of the utmost
disgust at such proceedings is bagtn-
ming to take the place of the sympathy
and regard that has dominated them
in their efforts for the soldiers.
But all this is applicable only to the
few. The many have returned to their
homes having done their duty as best
they could, have remained In the Sc
clusion of their homes until recovered
from their sickness and then have
taken up the ordinary walks of life,
like the modest and brave American
citizens that they are. For such
the members of the G. A. r and the
people of the city and country in gen
eral, have only the respect and love
and esteem that duty well performed
always has and always will merit and
receive as long as the republic shall
exist

THAT WAR is HE'LL.
The Soldiers of Two Wars
Found it So.

Now that the war is concluded and
nearly all the volunteer soldiers have
regained the health they lost during the
brief but arduous campaign OF Santi-
ago it is inevitable that there should
be good deal of discussion concerning
the conduct Of the war and comparison
of its scenes and extent with those of
the civil war and the other contests of
arms in which the United States has
been engaged.
While there is no doubt that the peo-
pie appreciate the work of the soldiers
in the recent campaign, it is inevitable
that some of the older people who re-
member the long and bitter struggle of
the rebellion because they were per-
sonally interested in it, should question
a little as to whether the soldiers of the
Cuban expedition have been subjected
to hardships that are unparalleled in
the annals Of war
In the present state of popular ador-
alton Of the volunteers, any one who
suggests the possibility Of their not
having experienced the very worst
things that human nature is capable Of
enduring, is likely to become an un-
popular person at once. Especially is
this true if the one to make such a
suggestion is veteran of the civil war
Too many there are who are ready to
accuse those who preserved the union
in those days of bitter strife of being
jealous of those who did their duty as
best they could in the more recent
struggle
In view of this tendency, The Spy
man has been at some pains to discover
If possible what grounds there may be
for such charge and what reasons
there might be advanced for such a
feeling on the part of those who were
engaged in the longer contest
No one doubts that the volunteers
who participated in the Cuban cam
paign were patriots for the most part
and did their duty to the best of their
ability but there are many who Won
der if they are not being regarded in
the light of martyrs more than the pre-
vious treatment of the soldiery of the
country would seem to warrant
Worcester has never been backward
in responding to the calls of the gov
eminent for men to uphold the national
honor and there are today men in this
city whose deeds to be sure are some
what lost sight of in the glamor sur
rounding this last campaign but who
have been in the midst OF strife which
makes the recent struggle somewhat
insignificant in comparison.
There are men in Worcester who
have been through with credit to them
selves and to the city as many years of
arduous campaigning as the present
volunteers have seen months. and have
witnessed the deaths from wounds and
disease of as many of their COMRADES
IN single regiment as persisted in the
whole Spanish war.

A recent article in the Army and
Navy journal has some very pertinent
statistics to present on this subject. 1t
says, after detailing the difficulties
which were surmounted by the govern
ment in arming and equipping the
troops in the rebellion: During the
four years of that war, 6,049,64S cases
were treated by the officers of the med
ical department, and there were 1885,
ZIG deaths from disease. OF 1851
deaths in hospitals, 10S,6S7 were from
miasmatic diseases, 43715 being from
fever "a, sos of these from typhoid and
typhoid malaria There were also 80
$50 discharges for zymotic diseases.
out of about every So men one man
was killed in action and one out OF
every Sc died Of wounds. One out OF
every 10 died of disease and unknown
causes. The general mortality of the
regulars of 476 in thousand and that
of the volunteers 75.4. The losses of the
regulars from the casualties of battle
were in excess of those of the volun-
teers. OF the 31S,S70 interments in the

men, and the men were improvident
after securing them.
Now that it is all over and the men
are nearly all recovered 1t is a little
interesting to remember the difference
between their home coming and ours.
When they returned the whole city was
ready to meet them and weep over them
and truly the sight at the station was
pathetic one, but | recall how the
remnant of my regiment returned after
three years of service in 1864. We came
in at o'clock one dark morning and
alighted from the train at the old Nor
witch depot. We were met there by a
solitary Waterman with a lantern, who
escorted us to the old city hail. where
we remained until daylight and the
people discovered u.s. They furnished
US with some breakfast, and a few
prominent citizens came to the hall and
addressed the men before they were
dismissed to their homes.
There was no especial crowd to make
a demonstration and no one would have
known that anything out of common
was happening, yet this regiment re-
turned to the city, ahandful of Grip
pies after having lost II per cent dead
and wounded in the fight at Cold Har-
Dor. No, we don't envy the boys their
glory. We share it with them and re-
joice that the conflict in which, they
have nobly and heroically battled has
not been more terrible and disastrous.

done but that no provisions were
made for the payment Of the con-
tracts. The contractors sued the dis
trict but the court decided that it
was not liable and that the orders
issued by the trustees against the
district were not binding.
In a memorandum accompanying
the findings, Judge Ensign gives some
of his reasons for the finding. He
says that a school district has no
power in excess of those expressly
granted or implied sby the statutes.
The trustees of a district may go no
farther in their expenses than provid-
ed by the levy for taxes that has been
regularly made, or than what is au-
thorized by the voters or by the money
on hand. In other words, aside from
the issuance of bonds in the regular
manner, a school district cannot go
into debt through any contracts by
its directors. The trustees cannot
permit the expenses Tor any year TO
exceed the amount authorized by the
levy, the amount authorized by the
vote, or the amount on hand. At Il
meeting of the district it was voted
to build school house, but no pro-
vision was made for funds. The
board had no power to contract debt
in the name of the district.
In conclusion Judge Ensign says:
1.-THE trustees of "a district cannot be
permitted to exceed their powers, and
while it is hard that the men should
not be paid for their labor and mater
ial, they are presumed to know the
law !"

A Few Points.

Judge Ensign of the district court
last week made decision which is of
material interest to all organized
school districts as it defined the
duties of officers. The suit was
brought by district No. 81 which

aside and the orders issued against
said district by the board annulled.
1t seems that the board built new
school house and equipped the same.
