THE ARMY INVESTIGATING COM
MISSION.

Nothing that President Mckinley has done
has evinced a more earnest desire to dis
charge his whole duty to the country and
people than his appointment of commits
sion to investigate the management of the
war and treatment of the soldiers. 1t is
really commission to investigate his own
acts and those of his appointees and subor-
dinates. No other President has ever ap-
pointed such commission of his own mo-
justified in refusing to do so, and in point
ing TO the magnificent results of the war
as his best vindcation and proof of its COM
petent management, but he has chosen to
defer to the clamor of portion of the
press and people and appoint commission
to investigate charges which are not made
on any responsible authority and which it
is doubtful if those who make them will at
tempt to substantiate before the commits
sion. 1t is to be remarked, also, that the
secretary Of war has earnestly requested
that the investigation be ordered. Thus the
appointment of the commission is a volun-
tary act on the part of the President to
he has not been derelict in his duty to the
country or the soldiers, and if any of his
assistants or subordinates have been, to
locate the responsibility. A gentleman who
was offered and declined a place on the
commission says the President said to him:
feel that the American people have COM
mitted these boys to my hands, and if any
body has wronged them / want to fin6 it
out don't believe that any army has ever
been watched over more anxiously and con-
tinuously than l have watched over this
army, for / have spent seventeen hours a
day in this office in looking after them.
No amount of clamor can make the peo-
pie distrust the Presidents devotion to duty
or his sincere desire to have lne truth in
this matter brought out. The country has
noted the persistence with which he has adj
hered to the purpose of having an inves-
tigation, and how, in the face of many dec
linations to serve he has continued to make
new appointments until finally the commits
sion is completed 1t consists of the follow
ing persons: Major General Granville M.
Dodge, of Iowa; Colonel j. A. Sexton, OF
Major General j. M. Wilson, chief of engi-
neers of the United States army; Charles
DENLY, of Indiana, late minister to China
Ex-Governor Urban A. Woodbury., of Yer
mont; Ex-Governor James A. Beaver, of
Pennsylvania; Major General a. Med.
McCook, of the army (retired), and Dr. p.
S. Conner, of Cincinnati This is a strong
and well balanced commission. 1t contains
two army officers, one active and one re-
tired, two ex-Governors of national reputa-
ton, several successful business men and
men Of affairs, and one physician of high
standing. There is not man ON the COM
mission who would lend himself to anything
less than a thorough investigation, and
whatever its report may be it will be en-
titled to public confidence.

Captains and Rations.
Florida. Times Union.


In the storehouses of the government, con-
venient to every camp, is food in abundance,
of good quality and appetiZing variety. Yet
it is true that the average soldier is con-
fined to a diet that soon pals on the palate.
Why?
Every captain is supplied with a blank, on
which he must make out a reQuisition for
the rations of his company, stating the
quantities of each article of food for each
man. The alternative is given him--he may
take so much bacon or so much salmon, so
much meal or so much flour, ETC.
These acquisitions from the captains go to
regimental headquarters, where they are all
combined into one, and up through brlgadeS
and divisions Then they are filled and the
supplies sent to headquarters to be again
subdivided till the company receives what
the captain has ordered and the soldiers
eat it. Therefore if the captain is lazy or
neglectful of the comfort of his men they
get bareback and bacon and coffee day
after day, while his carelessness may leave
out the sugar or other delicacy offered by
the government. The captain may file a
requisition and only have 1t copied day by
day to save trouble; then the men curse the
government and grow dissatisfied Even
after the requistion has been filled and re-
ceived by the company the captain may ex-
change it with the merchant for articles OF
food the men prefer, either for a STEADY dlet
or for variety. Let the. soldiers be Just.
Blame those who are responsible or their
own lack of good judgment in choosing their
cantainS

A Missourian,s Testimony.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas city journal.
Lieutenant Colonel Morgan, of the Fifth
Missouri. has been spending a day or two
with his Joplin friends this week, and he
has expressed himself plainly, the News
says, in commenting on the tales of abuse
end neglect of the soldiers by the war de-
partment. There never was an army bet
ter provided for in every particular" the
colonel declared. The provisions were
first-class consisting of fresh bread every
day, fresh refrigerator meat, potatoes,
was issued in great abundance. The medi-
cal supplies were equally well provided and
the camping-grOund first-class" At Chick
amaCga, the colonel continued, the sanitary
conditions of the corps were not properly
looked after. but those in command We're
probably at fault, and the boys were indiS-
Greet in filing up on unhealthy fruits, Vege-
tables and sweetmeats. while the china tic
conditions caused considerable sickness. But
that the War Department neglected, or
showed incapacity is not true. The hand
ling of so large an army in so short time,
with the unpreparedneSS for war, the
most remarkable feat any country ever per-
formed. and the most successful from every
point of view. Colonel Morgan has no hesi-
fancy in saying that the administration,
the navy, the army, and the American peo-
pie as we'll have governed themselves in all
departments with wisdom, conservatism.
bravery and success to such a degree as to
excite the admiration, praise and respect
of the world. Such unbiased expressions
from one of Colonel Morgan's political
faith, when others of his party are seeking
to discredit so successful an administration
of affairs is refreshing, and will be appre-
ciated by all r-minded people.

AGAINST ROOSEVELT.
The Truly Good Parkhurst Joins Him
self with Tammany.

Chicago Post
1t is perhaps worthy of passing notice
that Rev. Dr.. Charles H. Parkhurst has
joined the yellow cry against Theodore
Roosevelt for accepting the support of SEN
ator Platt for the Republican nomination
In New York. He has cabled to the New
York World mo man could have my vote
that would truckle to Platt before election,
Tor ne, would probably truckle still more
after election"
The idea of a man of Colonel Roosevelt's
peculiar disposition trucking to any other
man is so absurd that it stultifies the person
who suggests it. His whole career testifieS
to the possession of a backbone that knows
no trucking. From the moment Theodore
Roosevelt entered the New York General
Assembly fresh from college to the hour he
was mustered out of his command of the
Rough Riders he has stood for all that was
honest, decent and of good repute in poll
tics. 1t is by such qualities as courage and
devotion to duty that he has won the pop
ularity that has forced his nomination on
the Republican party in New York.
Senator Platt is the acknowledged leader
of the Republicans in that State. He has
never been friendly to Colonel Roosevelt as
the two men regard politics from diametri-
cally opposite points of view But the tide
of popular favor has forced the astute poll
tician to accept the man of principle and
courage
1t is worthy of note that Tammany Hall
and the yellow press of New York are ter
r;bly incensed and outraged over the pros
pect of Roosevelt'S nomination. They have
had experience of his honesty and fearless
Eess, and. therefore, they hate him. DR..
Parkhurst must be proud of the company he
finds himself in.

1t is definitely announced that Col. Will

Washington for the purpose of joining gov
ernor Holcomb of Nebraska, in personal
appeal to the President to muster out the
Third Nebraska Regiment, Colonel Bryan
command
If the appeal is unsuccessful, it is alleged
the colonel will resign from the service and
return to political life. He is said to be
chatting under the military restraint that
prevents him from discussing. public ques-
tons, while such men as William j. stone,
Congressman Bailey and other leaders or
the fusion Democracy are delivering elabo-
rate speeches upon topics of the hour,
But why should Mr.. Bryan appeal TO
President Mckinley in behalf of himself and
his regiment? 1t has been given out posi-
lively that no more volunteers will be mus
tered out until there is another general re-
duction in the army. Colonel BryanS at
tempt to secure an exception to this ruling
In favor of the Third Nebraska betokens his
characteristic conceit as well as his lack OF
delicacy in dealing with the President
There are consistent reasons why Colonel
Bryan should not desire to remain in the
military service. now that the war has
ended and nothing remains but garrison
duty. He does not need to make apologies
or explanations for his retirement That
will be understood without comment. 1t is
his privilege to resign whenever he. chooses
to take that step.
But as for the regiment under Colonel
Bryan's command, that is another matter.
There is no reason why the Third Nebraska
should be favored above other regiments.
For this reason It is particularly bad grace
appeal to the President an appeal that.
through the political relations of the two
men, 1t would be embarrassing for the
President to refuse. and yet the granting
of it would establish precedent that might
result in still greater embarrassment to the
executive The right thing for the President
to do-and he will probably do it's to
deny the request if ii be made, even though
such a denial would be misrepresented by
Colonel Bryan and his partisans for cam

During the present week there will be
great deal of interesting politics in New
York, as both political parties will hold
their state conventions. Colonel Roosevelt
now seems to be sure of the Republican
nomination for Governor. The most inter-
esting feature of the week will probably re-
suit from the announced determination of
the Chicago platform Democrats to demand
an explicit Endorsement of that platform and
state ticket composed of men who openly
hold conference the day before the con-
ventiOn to put their demand in form. If
such a platform and ticket is not made these
Democrats will bolt and organize Demo-
cratic party.
