making lot of places for republican
politicians. And the places that are
being given out are good places, too.

places are going to the faithful"

right thing when he decided to turn

Gen. o. o. Howard, who is pretty
good authority, says that our soldiers
are well cared for in the Florida camps.
They get better food than they will
have probably in Cuba and much better
than the soldiers of the union got at
the opening of the rebellion Gen
Howard thinks that the government is
in better position now to look after the
welfare of its soldiers in the field and
they will get more attention than any
soldiers of the Republic have had in
former wars. He intimates that it is
natural for the volunteer soldier to
complain of plain fare, but that is the
kind that is best for the soldier and
this will be found out by experience.
Gen. Howard is interesting himself in
the formation of q christian and sani-
tary commission for the Cuban cam
paign.
