during the campaign of 1892 when Cleve-

should vote for Grover Cleveland. Well,
Mr.. Cleveland was elected and what fol
lowed? Not prosperity, but the most de-
structive panic this country ever expert

LEWIS Is CAUGHT
IN HIS OWN TRAP.
Never Was Connected With the Army
of Uncle Sam.
Bought a Kahaki Uniform, But Did
Not Dare to Put the Insignia
~. :. A" Upon the Collar.

Especial Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.)
Washington. Oct. 25.-"What became
of the ten thousand pounds of beef said
to have been condemned by Col. Lewis
at Newport News?'
'Was any beef ever so cOndemGed?"
These were questions which were pro-
pounded today by the war department.
The answers are:
"NO beef was ever condemned at New
port News, and Col. Lewis never had any
authority to condemn anything
The cOmmissary general paid no at
tention to the newspaper stories of last
August that the Washington congress
man was doing things he had no power
to do, but when the observation-disclosures
showed how the fake deeds never done
were being used to throw discredit upon
the administration, the department made
inquiries and obtained proof of the alb
sOlute falsity of the whole story
Col. Geo. b. Davis, assistant commits
sary general, stated positively that
Congressman Lewis had no rank either
in the volunteer or regular forces.
Maj. hatz, chief cOmmissary at New
port News, in his report, made no men
ton OF even so much as ten pounds Of
tOOd being condemned. On the contrary
all food delivered at Newport News was
in good condition.
Congressman Lewis, upon his own
solicitation, was permitted to accompany
Gen. Fred Grant, az q civilian merely.
He went to Newport News, bought him
new kahaki uniform trimmed with the
insignia OF a cOlonel's rank, but was care
full not to put on the collar either "U.
s. or 81. S. A." Instead his Uniform
bore the letters an. G. W, intended to
indicate National Guard Of Washing
ton" Only on close inspection would
this difference IN lettering be noticed and
nine men out of ten, soldiers included,
would take him as be intended to be
taken, a colonel in the regular army.
Col. Davis declared that no one except
a newspaper correspondent, whom he be-
lieves received the information from Lewis
himself, ever heard OF any provisions be-
ing condemned as unfit for use, and in any
event, the congressman, despite his uni
form, had no more authority over COM
missaries than any other civilian in New
port News at that time.
Since the matter has been brought up.
the cOmmissary general proposes to have
the facts officially stated, and Gen. Fred
Grant has been ordered to report lust
what Lewis did while he was with Grant
at Newport News. ~

About Those Figures.
ANOTHER IDEAL SHATTERED.

One by one the roses fade; one by one
popular beliefs are shattered. William
Tell is no longer the hero of former days
the whale did not really swallow Jonah,
and now it is proved that Col. Lewis
never condemned any bad meat at New
port News, and never had authority to
condemn anything,
This is cruel, thus at one fell swoop to
take from the valiant colonel (by the
grace of Rogers), the glory of his achieve
ments, and to throw discredit on his
variations
of most disastrous chances,
Of moving accidents by food and field,
Of hair breadth 'scapes
L the imminent deadly breach.
No more these things to near will the
public seriously incline; no longer love
him for the dangers he has passed, and
the colonel's occupation, like Othello's,
% gone.
The official statement from Colonel
Davis of the commissary department,
printed in another column tells the
whole story in a nutshell. 1t only adds
one more chapter OF proof to controvert
the many fairy stories with which Mr..
Lewis has been attempting to beguile an
unsuspecting public.
