Allentown, Pa, Sept. 2S.-Ex-Congress-
man William III. Snowden, the Demo-
cratic candidate for lieutenant governor

cred in the western part of the State last
week charged Senator Quay and his lieu

that nearly every postoffice appointment
that has been made the past year was
disposed of to the highest bidder.
Il am right in the charges l make, and
the Quay organization need not fear that
the postal inspectors will ever make an
honest effort in the investigation, which

The Division Hospital.

One line of argument which has been
taken to defend the mismanagement
in the army hospitals is 10
throw the responsibility on the
regimental officers, and to claim
that the higher officials of the
department were really not TO blame:
1t was the colonels and lieutenants and
non-commissioned officers of the differ
ent regiments who failed in their duty.
This is, on the whole, rather a shrewd
move. It scatters the blame all over
the country, and mikes the matter up
with local politics, so that it will have
to be settled in all the individual States
and counties before the people can at
tack the War Department proper.
But there is one thing, at least, very
much in the way of this view. although
in some cases. undoubtedly, the officers
OF the various regiments were not eXpe-
rienced and competent men. One of the
most radical changes made in the vol
unteer camps. made very soon after the
army was mobilized, was the replacing
OF the regimental hospitals with divis-
ION hospitals. This change was viewed
with unqualified hostility by nearly ev-
cry colonel and surgeon in the volun-
teer army. 1t was also opposed by the
people of the different States when they
heard of il. 1t involved the concentra-
ton of supplies into one common store
house, less easily reached or moved
than the regimental stores. 1t caused
much delay in the treatment of sick
men. who often suffered seriously from
the distance they must travel to reach
the division hospital. 1t took the hos
pital force and supplies out from under
the eye of the regiment, and removed
q very important check on incompe-
tency. Had the regimental hospitals re-
mained as they were every surgeon
