The war department finally acted with
decision With reference to the Fourth
Wisconsin and ordered 1t to camp 10 IA
bama. There was hesitancy, indeclslon
and weakness IN the conduct of the war
department toward this regiment. The
Fourth appeared to be eager to get to
the front, even after the war had closed.
When the war department acceded to it's
request the anxiety to come home was
much more marked than had the desire
to go forward been. The people under
took TO annul the orders OF the depart
ment and came very nearly doing SO.
But little vertebrae took the place of
submission and the Fourth had to obey
orders.
II the regiment Is needed by the Gov
eminent Its duty ls clear. LIZ 1t is not
needed it was a mistake to begin with to
weld to solicitations to have it sent south,
In that case it is something like the con-
ISOLATION excursion to Porto Rico which
WAS planned for the troops who had seen
no active service at a time when the ener
gles OF the government should have been
directed toward saving the lives of those
who were succumblug to malaria in Cuba
and Porto Rico
Obedience is an absolute necessity in
the army. Without IL there can be no
discipline, and without discipline there
can be no efficiency. The Fourth will
probably not suffer IN Alabama. The
war department has learned something
and its increased knowledge may include
ability TO provide for the comfort of the
man In camp.

The annual report OF Pension CommIs.
sloner Eva2s Is an interesting document
as 1t shows the difficulties OF getting the
pepsion business on anything like Just
or business basis The pension claims
pending June &, 1898 were 635, 059. This
shows that the high water mark of pep-
SONS is yet far in che distance. The
Commissioner estimates that only 1900
OF these are genuine. But he says there
are 2oO,OO0 ex union soldiers who have
not yet received pension OF any kind.
An interesting instance OF a test exam
Inatlon Is given. i pension claimant was
submitted to the examination OF three ex-
aiming boards, all within As hours The
report of each board was unanimous
One found no disability; n second dis
ability which would entItle the claimant
to 50 per month; third placed the rat,
ing at Sl7 per month and fourth at
$50 per mouth,-a case of doctors dis
agreeing.
One thing is evident. Pensions will
keep on increasing until they become so
burdensome there will be a complete
collapse. The goose which lays the gold.
en- egg will certainly be killed.

THERE is trouble brewing for the Unit
ed States in the Philippines. Aguinaldo
has continued the war and has now 5000
Spanish soldiers held as prisoners. He is
pressing In on Manila and General Gus
has given him until the 10Th to withdraw
his troops from the suburbs. Dewey
who ls not an alarmist, acknowledges
that the situetion is critical.
The situation In Cuba is not free from
difficulties. The Cuban soldiers want
the United States to pay them for the
time they spent in fighting for their IN
dependence. Otherwise they will take
to the mountains and resume their briS-
| and life. A large standing army will be
required for years to come TO preserve
| order In Cuba and the Philippines. The
| United States seem to nave relieved
Spain OF its difficulties by assumin g
| them.
Later advices are to the effect that
| AguInaldo has withdrawn his troops
from the suburbs of Manila. 1t is denied
emphatically that Dewey asked for an
additional battlesbip. Yellow journa
llsm is not yet on the decline.

THERE Is more Catarrh in this section
Of che country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edles, aud by constantly failing 70 cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. Il is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly Oh the

case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

One hears but little of the sufferlngs
endured by the Spanish soldiers in Cuba.
Bat it must have been simply terrible
when the condition OF our troops is tax
en- as an index. The death rate among
them was terrible and mule meat was
welcomed as luxury. MANY died at the
wharf before getting aboard the the trans
ports which were 20 carry them to SPAN.
Their country abandoned the poor fell
lows and they were left to the care of the
United States which had not made ade
quate preparation for the care of their
own troops.

The democratic party of this state does
not need To rely upon the shortcomings
OF republican administrations for asking
that control of state affairs be gwen to it.
1t has record upon which To base It's
claims. The affairs of the state were
never before or since so economically or
efficiently administered as during the
years 1914 when the democratic party
was in power. The interests of the PEG
pie were carefully guarded andlegislation,
with one exception. was designed for the
public good. The actions OF the past are
the best guaranty OF the future.

Now that we are rid OF the reprehens-
lhle method in this state of peddlIng Of
fees TO secure the support of outside
political parties, we should frown down
any step looking toward return to this
form of political prostitution. The
way to get votes is to deserve them.
Votes secured in that way remain
with the party while the mercenarles
gre always clamorins for compensa-
ton. The bawdy house method will
yer commend party to the good will

DEAR MIR. NAGLE:-I am deeply in
debted to you for the unesrned and I'M
deserved kindness you extend to me In
the issue of the Manitowoc Pilot for the
Sth inst.
In leading the contest made in the
State convention for pure democracy, |
but performed a duty which rests upon
every true democrat. Because of the
efficient aid rendered me by Robert Kirk
land, p. II. Martin, Mr.. Hayes and Judge
Graves from the platform, and by host
Of others from the floor OF the couven-
ton, we were able to brush away the
mist which surrounded the proceedings
of that convention, and to bring the
democratic party of the state OF WIscon
sin from under the shadow of populsm
into the bright sunlight of the true faith.
IL III dLy way l. Wuo dolO w
to this splendid achievement the fact of
success and the certainty of the good
which will result therefrom to the party
with which / am affiliated will always be
TO me splendid compensation for the
effort made.
To you personally, and the host of
democrats from whom [ have heard en-
couraging words, and who two years
since felt 1t to be their duty to withhold
support from the democratic party, and
on behalf Of all those who fought with
me IN the state convention, extend the
right hand of good fellowship and say,
let bygones be bygones. As a reunited
family may We journey together, correct
Ing the abuses In government, remedying
defects In our own organization, and la
boring unselfishly for the common good
of the nation whose lines were laid by
our political ancestors.
Very truly yours,
