Last evening Mr.. Edwin G. Pierce read
o paper before the franklin Society, "TL .

complete political history of events, con-

He began with tho cession to Us by
France In 1904 of Louisiana. which tsen
extended as far north as the northern
boundary of Minnesota ana as far 10 the
southwest rs the kio Grande. Then in
1919 spain ceded TO us Florida, and we
transferred Texas to spain. To become n
part of tho Spanish province Of Mexico;
but before the Spanish treaty wns ratified
Mexico achieved her Independence. and
II was net until 1873 tnat treaty was
made by which Mexico received Taxas
with the boundaries settled uDon with
Spain in 1919.
A few wears later the slaveholding in
terest of the Southern states were NOV q
"heaven and earth" to recover Texas TO
the Union as a field for the eNt nsion Of
slavery. That is TO say tbs areA of Texas
was sufficient for the making OF the ne

give the siaveholding interest n sure
continuance Of their control OF the

since the middle of May, $4,000 to u.s.
600 men to be taken care of at this
place, and it seems to me there has
been some wonderful work done.
Barring the vegetating generals of
some of the departments at Washing

stand immediate necessities-princi-
pally i'm the medical, ordnance and
quartermaster departments-the work
at Camp Thomas has oeen most salts

instance, will venture to say, the
blame should be placed on the Off
GERS of individual regiments. Where
there has been no trouble among Off
GERS of regiments you will find that
there has been no complaints made
of bad treatment by the government.

that their men did not su-,er. The

One thing in which the government
was very wise was sending to this
immense mobilizing camp the most

officer in particular has been looked
upon as a perfect wonder in his eX-
ecutive ability, AMI that one is Col.

last of April, and will probably, in
the deserving of the camp, be the last

that he has handled 100000 articles

THE WIDOW IN CAMP.
(TownTopics War Correspon dent

DCAuS Ou Ulc luSluc tEoCk-ouO you
know we widows have q way Of get
ting there-does give one such clear
cut view Of poli,ical-and otherwise
fears, scrambling and laundering.
l cannot help smiling at the grimness
of things, and cannot see, for my
life, why we should "investiga'e' at
ter the war is over and after the SOL
der has been buried, or sent home
dead or sick.
1 cannot see clearly the sense Of
quietly dropping the Miles-Alger-
Shafter-Corbin controversy. 1t sure
ly needed no investigation. There was
nothing left clouded even to the dull
est mind. A blind man could see
that, after what might have been err
ing judgment, from somewhere, from
some one or more in the beginning,
''secret cablegrams" and controverted
authority were simply drowning
Shafter taking a cablegram, sent him
from General Corbin through the war
department, or from the war depart
ment through General Corbin, to en-
courage him and stiffen him up, and
to keep him from succumbing to his
dependency, as placing him in SUI
preme power, was only in accordance
with the rest of his Santiago career.
By the way, that now famous cable
gram may have been secret SO far as
Shafter-his keeping it so-over in
Cuba was concerned, but it was not
secret here. 1t was given out to the
press in this country at the time, and
so, too, was the impression that Gen.
eral Miles had gone in MS own posi-
ton as commander of the United
States army. 1 remember distinctly
the impression made upon myself and
several army officers as well at Chick
amauga, in reading of this cablegram
to Shafter; that it was only to brace
him up, and inform him that he was
not to be recalled or publicly dis
graced in any way for the weakening
he had shown in his cablegram that
he ''must fall back because of une
thinness of his lines" And, by the
way, We had this cablegram also on
our bulletin board at Lookout Inn ON
the day it was received in Washing
ton. 1 have wondered many times
since-and do now-how it is that
there has been so much contradiction
and controversy about these two ca
Diagrams. Was that Lookout Inn
bulletin board giving away court Sc
crets? If so, where did it get them?
There must be an awful sieve some
where in Washington.
If this kind hearted and humane
at headquarters-the
sending of General Miles to the res
cue, and the encouraging cablegram
to Snafter-are to be hoped on and
clutched at by sinking commander
and twisted and turned into what
would end in a congressional fight, it
is, as 1 say, wise to ignore it, and as
said a minute ago, in perfect accord
ance with six-miles-in-the-rear-h
mock management.
