What the DiSloyal Papers OF the Country
are Doing for spain.

What the DiSloyal Papers OF the Country
are Doing for spain.
Washington Star Qnd): There win
probably be no abatement of the uproar
going on in this country about the man
agement of the war, but we ought not
to close our eyes to the fact that echoes
of 1t are travelling far and wide, and
wherever they go in a distorted and
partisan form, are highly injurious TO
the American name and interests.
Let us consider the matter In Its rela-
ton to the situation in Spain. We ore
dealing with the Spanish government
on the subject OF permanent peace. The
cortes Is in session, and Senior Sagasta
is asking for authority to grant the
terms we have imposed. His position
Is that Spain was clearly overmatched
in the struggle with the United States,
and could do no less than abandon the
field after the fact became manifest As
he claims, he yielded to the inevitable
and made the best terms possible His
opponents, however, insist that the
Spanish cause was all but openly be-
trayed; that at Santiago. in particular,
General Toral suffered himself either to
be bullIed or bamboozled, and that the
American triumph was purely the result
Of a Spanish fuke.
Now, which side of the question are
we supporting? Strangely and dis
credltably enough. the side Of Senior sa-
gasta's Spanish opponents. We are
holding with them that the American
triumph at Santiago was not won by
valOr or soldierly management, but was
10 ~ EVNn 1Fg1N ctr a ND
resolution. General Shafter is berated
as an incompetent. ThereNwas neither
head nor tail o>his expedition. His
courage forsook him In the critical hour.
His forces likewise were demoralized.
Panic lowered over the American camp.
Had General Toral possessed high or
der of courage and enterprise he might
by furious onslaught have annihilated
his enemy. But, with all the cards nee
essary to win, he weakened and laid
down his hand.
Admiral Cervera is also the subject Of
severe Spanish censure. His enemies
assert that his opportunity was excel
lent, but his mRneuvering was execra-
BILE And we are aiding that. We are
holding up our chief OF naval command
as a chump and pretender, whose APP
polntment was due to fragrant eNer-
else Of favoritlsm. Admiral Cervera,
his enemies allege. invited destruction
by first rushing into the wrong hRrbor
and then rushing out Mt the wrong time.
Had he possessed the proper fighting
Judgment he might with no great diff
Guilty have eluded or whipped the man
whom some Americans themselves thor
oughly dIsparage.
Are we not, indeed, sowing Senior Sa-
gasta's pathway with thorns? Are we
not making 1t difficult for him to fuiill
the obligations we have imposed upon
him? We are certainly dlsparaglng
ourselves and in that way countenanc-
ing the claim of Senior Sagasta's oppo-
nents, that his American enemy was in
several particulars very vulnerable, and
was not fought with sufficient energy.
This may be politics OF certain kind,
but It is not patriotism of-any kind, and
those who are engaging in It might well
put their talents to u very different use

Murd.r Of Empress Elsabtth.

The assassination of the Empress
Elizabeth, of Austria, by an italian an
archIst, at Geneva, Switzerland, was a
dastardly deed, for which there could
have been no motive whatever. not even
the excuse that anarchists are so apt
to give for their crimes-that the victim
was an oppressive ruler. The empress
was not a ruler, but, on the contrary,
was as different from all the remainder
of European royalty as 1t was possible
to be. In her manners and mode of life
she was democratic to the point of &C.
centriclty, and her freedom of action In
circulating among the people incognito,
and without protection, going alone
about the streets of cities she visited,
was commented on by all of Europe. 1t
was this eccentriclty which led to her
death.
The anarchist had gone to swItzer-
land to murder man of note, he does
not say whom, but not finding that VIC
tim, chose the empress OF Austria, VINO
was on one Of her shopping tours, prac-
tIcally unattended and walking on the
streets of Geneva. Some one with =
title, no matter what the rank, nor
from what country, had to be the VIC
tim of a dlabolIcal deed by that ire
sponsible and fanatlcal anarchist In
this case the crime was all the more
cowardly because the victim was a
woman.
Anarchists will rejoice because the
murdered woman was the wife of the
emperor of Austria, Francis Joseph.
That suits the bloodthIrstIness Of the
anarchists, who in their insane enthusi-
asm, never for a moment stop to con-
slider that the death Of this latest vic
tim of the stllleto carries with 1t no
political Significance.

days would be sumcient grounds for
court-martaling the commander-in-
chief"
This Is an exact statement which will
recall to the minds Of many the abuse TO
which the administration was subjected
for alleged delay In sending troops to
Cuba even before there were any prep
arations whatever. More than that, It
recalls the assaults which were made
upon the administration for not proceed
ing direct to Havana, when every mill
tary oficer knew from the beginning
that It would be the most injudlcious
course that could be adopted, II 1t did
not, indeed. prove absolutely suicidal
The rapid and successful prosecution
Of the war to a finish within four
months was disappointment to these
shouters, who had hoped their charges
that delay would prolong the war for a
year would prove true. Having been
disappointed all around, they are now
attempting to make political capital of
the sickness and suffering OF troops as
an offset. Had their demands been
needed at the start by the President,
things would have been in a hundred
times worse condition than they now
are. They shouted ION to Havana" be-
fore the volunteers were even equipped
and at a time when ammunition and
supplies were deficient.
These partlsans should be thankful
that the President was too wise and
cool-headed to listen to their advice.
The rebukes they are now receiving for
their contemplate partisan course are
as deserved as the public condemnation
of them was for their assaults upon the
administration at the beginning.

OHIO COUNTY REPUBLICAN TCKET
The President, Sincerity.

The action of President Mckinley in
ordering an investigation of ''the con-
duct Of the commlssary, the quarter
master and medical bureaus OF the war
department, and the extent, causes and
treatment of the sickness in the field
and in the camps" should effectuaiiy put
a stop to the mean abuses of the Execu-
tive on the part of the yellow press and
constituencies Democratic organs, that
are attempting to prejudice the country
against the administration for partisan
purposes.
There have been some malicious state
ments made concerning the President,
even since 1t was known that he would
order just such an investigation. We
had an example of 1t in Wheeling Sat-
urday, furnished by the organ here,
which has not hesItated to print any
thing and everything that tended to re-
fleet on the administration, in obedience
to the policy adopted to make partisan
capital of something In which politics
are not involved, for the want OF an
honorable issue. EdtorIally the organ
declared that the President would not
order an investigation; that Secretary
Ayers request was "blun," and that
the President himself was afraid Of an
investigation. This was but one Of the
numerous falsehoods which have been
published. being conceived in malice.
and printed for despIcable purpose.
The commission is not composed of
interested parties. II all those request
ed TO serve By the President consent, the
personnel Of the board OF inquiry will
consist of men who are so favorably
known to the country as to prohibit
single adverse criticism, either as to the
appolntees or their findings. The Pres
idents message addressed to each of
them states that It is his earnest wish
that "thIs committee shall be Of such
high character as win command the
complete confidence OF the country"
The men whom he has Invited to serve
are precisely OF this character. Five Of
them are from civil life; the others are
military men OF great experience in the
civil war on both sides, including Lieu
tenant schoheld (retired) and General
Gordon, whose experience on the Con-
federate side in handling troops was
about the same as that of General seho-
field, on the northern side. both having
been corps commanders.
The country can depend upon two
things: An entirely impartial lnvestlga-
ton and the absolute sincerity of Pres

In view Of the popular belief that the
use of salt is an essential to humanity
which leads a great many people to
apply It very literally to their food as
seasoning, an article by ]. D. Point
dexter, OF the medical department of the
United states army, is OF considerable
interest, and to most readers is a reve-
lation. He takes strong grounds against
the use of salt, and will doubtless find
In the medical profession and food ex-
perts In general many who will oppose
his radical opinions on the subject,
Briefly, Mr.. PoIntdexter holds the view
that salt is not the best thing in the
world to take into ones stomach, that
II promotes headache and is Injurious In
other respects. He declares 1t to be I'M
wholesome In It's action, being an irri-
tant which, by reason OF the fact that
1t undergoes no chemical change, is
carried throughout the system.
This Is an assertion which Mr.. Point
dexter says he has demonstrated. and
he also claims that he has personally
proven by his own experience, that In
quitting the use of salt as mere con-
dlment or relish for food. hIs health has
been improved. He admits that It was
hard to become used to diet without
salt, but he finally became accustomed
N n and appreclated what he ate for Its
real flavor.
II Mr.. Polntdexter proposes to ire
form" salt out OF use by this reasoning
he may flnd that he has undertaken a
stupendous campaign. He must over
come the popular beliefs of centuries
and the natural appetite of millions.
His theory that the liking Of salt is NOR
bid, like that for morphine and other
drugs, is probably carrying his idea too
far. Mr.. Pointdexter, however, IS not
the only man who has raised an Objee-
tlon to salt. Others have preached his
doctrine, to find scientists and physI-
clans agreeing with them only to the
extent OF admitting that less amount
OF salt consumed by the average person
would be Advisable and beneficial. AS
in the case OF other condiments, the ex-
cessIve use Is undoubtedly harmful.
Those who use salt meats exclusively
are often afflicted with complaints such
as Mr.. Polntdexter describes. Sailors,
who take long cruises and are often
compelled to rely on salt meats, are a
class who are afflicted great deal with
scuryey. II the public can be persuaded
TO n more moderate use OF salt as n con-
dlment, in all probability the evils which
Mr. PoIntdexter points out may be re-
duced.
