TESTIMONY OF A DEMOCRAT.
Unprejudiced Evidence rs to the
Treatment of Uncle Sans
Soldiers.

The testimony given before the war
investigating committee at Washing
ton by Gen. "Fighting Joe" Wheeler is
a complete refutation of the charges
made by the yellow journals and dem.
ocratic papers that have been manu-
featuring charges for the sake of ere
Gting sensations and political ammu-
milton, Coming from a rock-ribbed
democrat-and one of the southern
kind that seem to have their democ-
racy bred in the bone at that-coming
from the man who was a famous leader
of the confederate cavalry in the civil
war and who gallantly led the cavalry
division of the United States troops at
Santiago, and coming from man who
was born and raised a fighter and sol
der, it can scarcely be said by t he dem
ocratic press that his testimony is
"whitewash." His evidence may be
summarized as follows:
"At Santiago-Except in a few instances
supplies were adequate. On several occa-
sions this was due to the fact that the men
going into action threw away their ratons
three days supply and did not recover
them.
only once was there a ack Of surgeons,
occasioned by the illness of the surgeons
themselves.
''The men slept on the ground instead of
in tents, because the tents had been left on
the transports so that no time would be
lost in removing them.
The amount of Illness among the troops
was due entirely to the climate and to nee
cessary exposure in the trenches. And to
the further fact that many Of the volun-
teers did not know how 10 take care Of

There is the testimony of man who

during the civil war and knows what
soldier is, and what soldier requires
for his proper care. In the face Of this
the sensational charges of the yellow

HARVEY AS MANAGE z.
The Great Exponent of Cheap Money
Gets Chance TO Work
His GAIT.

Coin" Harvey's appointment as
manager of the silver democratic
party" does not meet with that chorus
of joy from the party generally that
might have been expected. The local
leaders particularly do not approve,
and it dazes them as much as the "or-
phan dodger" did. That "dodger" con-
tained nothing but what they professed
to believe and to which they had over
and over set their hands, but they nev-
ertheless repudiated it because it was
unofficial
Now they have an official act by the
very highest moguls of the party that
compeis them to swallow the "dodger,"
and they growl again. Curses not loud
but deep penetrate their discourse. for,
as one of the candidates said: Here
we have been straining every nerve TO
get the gold democrats into line and
have succeeded, and along comes this
blunder and promises to upset every
thing.
"There is only one thing more needed
to put us in prime condition for de-
feat" said another, in vein of satire.
"We ought to have Gen. Coxey appoint
ed assistant general manager" Har-
yey and Coxey would make a very at
tractive and stylish team, and the way
they would pull subscriptions out of
the pockets of the gold democrats
would be great instruction to all po-
litical beggars!"
Still more important considerations,
however. seem to puzzle the heads Of
some of the local silver democrats.
They themselves are mo slouch es"-to
use their own elegant style of speech
at political finance, but there are two
things about this move they would
like to understand. How does it come
that Harvey was all cooked and primed
80 spring his plan of financiering the
party at the very moment he was noti-
fled of his appointments; and second,
and most important. what is going to
be his rake off 2" He is laying plans to
raise So 100000 in the next two years,
and if ten per cent. of it-n very mod
crate compensation, indeed-goes into
his own pocket, there are envious demo-
Gratis who think he has a pretty soft
thing. and he will have if he raises the
100000.
There are those, too, who think, and
with some reason, that the dollar sub
scription business is only cheap blind,
and the money will come. if it comes at
all. from the men who produce silver
and are financially interested in its free
and unlimited coinage. Now that we
have a bankruptcy law, it seems clear
enough that nobody wants even cheap
silver with which to pay his debts, so
that none but silver mine owners are
really concerned about free coinage.
AS for the rank and file of the demo
cratic party, why should they give
dollar month to a cause which if sue
cessful would cut all their remaining
dollars in two?
In the end il will be the silver mine
owners who will have to come down
with the dust, and from this point of
view those local democrats are right in
thinking Mr.. Harvey has a particular
ly good thing.-Chicago Times-Herald,

PEACE JUBILEE PAGENT.
Parade of Military and Civic Organization.
Is Reviewed by President Mckinley, Gen.
Miles and Gen. Shafter.

Miles and Gen. Shafter.
Chicago. Oct 2O.-One brief CLEAN Of
sunshine has been thrown upon the
ceremonies of the peace jubilee. 1t
was a fieeting, short-lived burst Of
third-ciass sunshine, butitfeIl upon the
presidents reviewing stand just as the
head of the great jubilee parade was
approaching, and the dense crowd
which lined the streets accepted it as
an augury of better things and cheer
ed Justify, but before they were half
through with their shouts the little
shudder of light was gone and the
cold, dark, dismal weather that from
the first has dampened the jubilee fes-
tivities, was on again.
Chicago has seen many parades
greater than that of Wednesday, but
she never has seen one that pleased its
people better, nor has there ever been
parade in this city which has been
witnessed by SO many people. There
were more stands, and larger stands
erected for sight-seers than have ever
been seen here before. All were filled
to the utmost. notwithstanding the
elaborate arrangements of the police
department, the banshing of every
street car and vehicle of every descrip-
ton from the down town streets, in
order that the crowd might have an
unobstructed way, there were times
when the crowd was too great for the
police to handle and at many places
the crush at times was dangerous.
The greetings extended to President
Mckinley were enthusiastic in the ex-
treme, as were the plaudits showered
upon Gen. Miles and Gen. Shafter as
they passed through the streets. The
president in his carriage was sur
rounded by members of the Chicago
Hussars formed in square, and de-
tachments of the Grand Army and of
Confederate Veterans acted as an es-
cort.
In the reviewing stand with the
president We're Gen. Miles, Gen. Shat
ter, both in full uniform; Gov. Tan
ner, Mayor Harrison and Chairman
TruaX, of the jubilee committee.
The advance of the parade after the
presidential escorts had wheeled out
of the line of march was given to the
veterans of the Grand Army, who
were present in great numbers.
Behind the veterans came numerous
civil societies, rank after rank until it
seemed as though they would never
end. Their gay uniforms and their
many banners of many hues, stripes
and sizes made brilliant and glowing
panorama.
The First Illinois. which gave more
lives during the war than any Illinois
body of enlisted men, set the people
frantic. The Seventh infantry closed
the parade.
Directly the Seventh infantry had
passed, the president left the review
stand, going into the club house.
Three cheers were given him as he
left. The crowd fingered in front of
the club house and called for the pres
ident. He was at luncheon, but the
crowd would not be denied and the
president stepped once more upon the
reviewing stand and made a brief

DIVERGENT VIEWS,
A Difference of Opinion is Expressed by
witnesses Before the War Commission
in Regard to the Conditions in Narous

witnesses lbe1ore the " ar
in Regard to the Conditions in Var.ous
Camps.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 20.-The war
investigating commission examined a
large number of regimental and other
officers yesterday. One of the most
outspoken witnesses of the day was
DR.. Frye, of the Third division hos
pital. He condemned some of the
methods in vogue in the hospitals and
said that in many cases the contract
physicians and members of the hos
pital corps were incompetent.
DR.. Frye expressed the opinion that
in several instances convaleScents had
which he was connected before they
were sufficiently advanced to permit
them to go in safety. He thought these
instances were due to insufficient SUI
pervision, to ignorance of physicians
and to n desire 10 clear the wards for
new patients. He spoke in very un-
complimentary terms of the men in
the hospital corps, saying they had
been picked up at random over the
country and were "generally scabby
looking lot" not fit to adorn any walk
of life. He also spoke depreciatingly
of the contract surgeons, saying he
would not be willing to trust his fam
ily or friends to so per cent. of them.
Col. Dows. of the Forty-ninth Iowa,
followed DR.. Frye. and he was in turn
followed by various members of his
regiment. Col Dows said there had
been no deficiency in the commissary
supplies. Speaking of the medical
supplies Col. Dows said a physician
whom Gov. Shaw had sent to the
camp had spoken with surprise of the
variety and quality of the medicine
and medical appliances on hand.
Gen. +. T.. Willis*on, in command of
the First brigade of the Seventh corps,
was questioned about various points,
having been stationed at Camp
Thomas. Montauk Point, Admission and
other points before coming to Jack
sonville. He said the principal obiec-
ton he had to Camp Thomas, in Chick
amauga park. was that it was impossi-
BILE to have sinks more than two or
three feet in depth.
"Neyer." said he, was a prettier
camp pitched in the United States
than was that camp at Montauk." He
said there were tents erected for 10000
men before men arrived and all they
had to do was to walk into them. He
said that the camp was abundantIy
supplied with stores of all kinds.
