CONTEMPORARY OPINION
WHO is RESPONSIBILITY

When man risks life and limb in
the service Of his country the least we
can do Is to see that he is properly sup
piled with food. And when he eickens
1t should be theresult ofclimatic condi-
tions which cannot be avoided and not
OF our neglect, which would be a crime
against civilization and treachery to
the flag.
II we were a financially weak coun-
try, and on the ragged edge Of bank
ruptcy, the over charitable might find
some excuse. But even then II NAV
be said that we have no right to 20 to
war unlese we can furnish our soldiers
with necessary medical care and treat
ment. But we are not poor; our
finances are In excellent condition, our
resources are inexhaustible, all that is
needed for a perfect commissary and
medical department is within easy
reach, and, moreover, the people desire
nothing so much as that our army
shall be we'll fed and well led.
That it has been well led Is a matter
OF pride. That 1t has been poorly fed
Is lasting disgrace for which someone
is to blame, and that someone should
be held to a strict account.
We started this war for humanity's
sake, and we have been inhuman to
our own troops. Not we. the people.
but those who represented us in official
positions. They have failed in their
duty, and II Is criminal cruelty which
sends a soldier to his death, not by a
Maueer bullet, but because OF red tape
and inefficiencv or because a nolitical
pull has put an unfit man into re-
sponsible Office.
The matter cannot rest where It is.
The public conscience is pricking us
all. There must be a rigid investiga-
ton. The facts. whatever they may be
must be made known, and II anybody
ie Guilty a swift punishment should fol-
low closely. That is the judgment OF
the country, and it must be Needed

THE DIFFERENC.E.

A large proportion Of the mortality
OF the Union forces was made up Of the
deaths Of prisoners In Libby, Ander-
sonville or similar places. 1t should be
remembered also that medical knowl-
edge was less in those days than at
present, especially as regarded sanitary
precaution. The wounds caused by
modern bullets are less dangerous than
those caused by the mimic ball, and the
antiseptic methods Of treatment or for
the prevention OF disease should have
decided influence upon modern re-
suits.
More than this, the nation in the
civil war did not have practically un-
limited credit, and the lines OF supply
were often threatened, while in the
recent war such conditions were moi
present. 1t has been found impossible
to hold state camps" without epidem.
les OF typhoid fever. Altogether, there.
fore, the proportion OF loss OF enlisted
men in the recent war should not begiT
to be as large as that in the war Of the
rebellion. The conditions are so strik
ing ly different that, with proper pre-
caution in the way OF supplies and safe
guards, the loss in the recent war from
disease should be proportionately no
one-half as large as that reported foi
the war Of the rebellion.-Boston Ad

FINGER NAIL BITING
4 Physician Says the Habit Is Handed
Down from Parents to
Children

"Non-believers in the doctrine of the
transmission of hereditary instincts
are brought to a standstill when they
are confronted with such an indisput-
able fact as that the fnger-nail biting
habit is, In nine cases out of ten, hand
ed down to the children Of those adj
dicted to it," said Washington physi-
clan. II have for nearly ten years
watched this thing carefully, and in al
most every case where q parent, either
father or mother, has been a finger
nail bitter have found that the chill
dren have at q very early age natural
" fallen into the same practice. The
chief fingerenail chewers of the world
are the French, ana 1t was recently
stated, upon reliable authority, that
nearly two-thirds Of French school
children are addicted to the habit.
French specialists who have made
careful study of the matter maintain
that the fnger-nail biting habit is
sort of nervous disease, and the
French educational authorities are
about TO take steps to stop the habit
among French school children. ]
haven't heard yet what they are going
to do about It, but 1 am certain that
they have a big contract on their
hands.
"Evenforgrownp people there is hard
ly any habit, aside from the confirmed
abuse of narcotics, more difficult to
overcome than the habit of biting the
finger nails. 1t requires a strong men
tai effort and constant vigilance to do
this, for once q person has become
thoroughly addicted to the habit he
does it unconsciously, and is only re-
minded that he Is marring himself
when he gets one of his nails gnawed
down to the quick. All manner OF
remedies have been advanced for the
cure of the fnger-nail biting habit, In
cluding the placing of injurious and
bitter compositions on the ends of the
fingers, but none of the remedies
amounts to much.
''The only way to stop biting the
finger nails is to stop. which is the only
way to stop drinking liquor, by the
way. The Americans are next t01he
French in the finger-nail biting habit,
probably because the Americans, as a
whole, are an exceedingly nervous peo-
pie. A man who accomplishes his de-
Termination to knock off biting his
fingers nails'may, by incessant mani
curing, get them to look fairly well
within q yea1or so, but finger-nail BIT
ing, If long persisted In. ruins the
shape Of theiends of the fingers, and
the nails caninever be brought to look
as well as those of the persons who
permit their nails to grow as they
were intendedAto grow."-Washington

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY

President Mckinley has outlined his
policy with respect to the volunteers.
He proposes to retain 100000 OF them
In service and to muster out about the
same number as the following state
ment issued by the War Department
will show:
In response to the request OF the
governors OF some OF the states, for the
muster out Of their entire volunteer
force, the president replied in substance
as follows:
Answering your telegraphic request
for the muster out OF your regiment, /
have already directed that 100 900 OF
the volunteers shall be mustered out OF
the service. This because in my judg-
ment that number can be spared. About
100000 will remain, as the government
now requires In Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines larger army than the
regular military establishment affords.
The muster-out, like the muster-in, will
be as nearly as possible according to
the population OF the several states.
The suggestion to muster out all OF the
volunteers from your state cannot
'ANA'AOAR NC NnAtlAdAHius Inc bttI6~
tary OF war has already inquired OF the
governors OF the several states what
regiments in their judgment can with
the least Inconvenience remain in the
service. Their advices will, so far as
consistent with, the public interest, be
complied with.
Delaware has but one regiment in the
field, and II the above statement means
anything 1t is that that regiment must
remain In the held--or, at least a Dor
tion OF 1t, else the principle OF muster
ing out according to the proportion OF
population must be utterly ignored In
our favor, a thing scarcely likely to be
done.
But IL we cannot succeed in having
our volunteers. we can at least insist
that they be fed while they continue In
the service. and all efforts should now
be bent to alleviate the sufferings Of
hungry men.
