The Pittsburgh Dispatch resents At
torney General Grlggg' reference to the
demagogues and partisans who have
tried to make partisan capital of the
surerlngs of our troops, from exposure
and illness, being inevitable results of
all wars, as ''buzzards who hover over
battleaeldsi hospitals and graveyurds,
looking only for the misery and suffer-
Ing and DEATH" The Dispatch has been
a little sensational itself in the publica-
ton of matters connected with the COM
plants regarding the sickness among
the soldiers, and is probably over-sensI-
tive enough to sever from its connec-
lions the comparisons made by Mr..
Grigss.
The attorney general was not making
this odious comparison to apply to the
publication of facts in connection with
the sickness among the soldiers and the
shortcomings of commanding and camp
officers having their welfare in charge.
He had direct reference to the Demo-
cratic politicians and organs who have
abandoned the issues between the par
ties, such as the tariff and money ques-
tons, and seized upon these things for
the purpose OF making partisan issues OF
them, and assaulhnG, for political pur-
poses, the administration-no from hon
est motives, but to prejudice the cuun-
try against the President and the Re
publican party at this time.
This comparison, and not che one the
Dispatch construes, is the one which Mr..
Griggs made, for the remarks preceding
and following 1t prove that 1t was
meant to be taken In the sense noted.
Attorney General Grlggs reflects the in
telllgence of the country in this respect.
That intelligence does. not favor reiiev-
ing the commanders from the RESPONSE
bllIties for the condition of the soldiers.
1t is, however, disguised with the effort
TO make of these things political issue,
in order to divert the attention OF the
public from the real questions Of the
campaign, one OF which Is whether the
party of free silver and free trade, re-
pudlated by the people in 1895, Is to gain
control of Congress by this means, or
whether the cause OF complaint, what
ever it amounts to, is to be treated. not
as partisan issue. but as one which is
to be dealt with in a manner BETTING
the dignity and the sense Of Justice of
this country, as the President proposes
to deal with 1t.

In an editorial in which the Register
aims to kin the effect of the refusal of
the Democratic committee to permit its
candidate to meet Captain DOvener in
joint debate. it does not hesitate to re-
fleet upon the candidates Of the Republic
can party in all the districts any more
than It hesltates to unblushlngly mis-
represent the First district candidate.
Twice in the article It declares, for IN
stance, that Mr.. Edwards, the Republic
can nominee in the Third district, does
not "dare" to meet Judge Johnston.
Does the Register know that It has been
extensively published that a Joint de-
bate has already occurred. within the
present week, between Mr. Edwards and
Judge Johnston? When the Register
starts on a campaign of abuse 1t doesn't
let it's regard for truth stand in the way.

A gentleman who resides Just across
the line in Harrison county and who
has been for several years prominent
Democratic farmer, told a Republican
neIghbor q few days ago that he kept
account OF his AFFAIRS during the -four
more years of Grover" and those OF the
first year OF Mckinley, and that he had
made more money In the one year than
he did in the four. That man will not
be likely to vote for another Democratic
candidate for President. He knows a
good thing when he sees It. Let us
suppose a Republican who is going to
vote with the Democrats. What sensi-
BILE reason could he give for It? Truly,
could he give any?-Weston Independ-

Last night some Infamous wretch set
fire to George W. Thorn's wheat stacks
and burned them up. The wheat grew
on fourteen acres OF land and he estI-
mated It at 200 bushels He also had
hauled his buckwheat to the stackyard
Monday, expecting to thresh his entire
crop on Tuesday. His son-in-law, who
lived near where the grain was stacked,
was awakened about . o'clock by n
dream, in which he thought he was
fighting fire, and he got up and looked
out and behold the stack yard on fire.
