FAULT OF VOLUNTEERS.
They Would Not Pay Attention to
Sanitary Regulations.

washington Special in Chicago Post
A conspicuous feature of the investigation
winch has been going on under the direction
of the war commission for the last month
is the evident restraint under which regular
army officers who are on the witness stand
labor in speaking of volunteer soldiers and
volunteer officers. The regulars try hard
not to speak disparagingly of the Volun-
teers, but they have a hard time keepin.
within bounds, and the transcript of the
testimony is full of apologies which the reg
ulars make for unintentiOnal breaks" A
on the stand bear testimony to the fact
that 1T has been next to impossible to get
the volunteers to obey in letter and in spirit
the sanitary regulations prescribed. The
regulars are trained to obedience. They do
not stop to question whether the judgment
of their superiors in matters Of bacteriology
obey orders. The average volunteer feels
himself to be superior to rules and regula-
lions for the protection of his health. He
teelS himself proof against disease until he
is stricken down. fragrant violations of
rules such as have been commonly INDUCED
In by volunteers may involve the health of
whole companies or regiments, although the
actual number of men committing indscre-
tons may originally be small.
Witness after witness has testified to the
apparent utter inability of a great many of
the volunteer soldiers in the several camps
to realize the Importance of guarding against
the drinking of impure water. They simply
would not be governed by the rules of com
mon sense in this matter. They were reck-
less in eating as we'll as in drinking, and
instance was given by a witness to illustrate
the inability of volunteers to grasp the sig
nif1cance of the simplest sanitary precau-
ton. There is canal running past Camp
Meade which carries part of the sewage of
Harrisburg. On the establishment of the
camp orders were given that men should
not be allowed to battle in the canal and
full explanations were given The order as
to bathing was obeyed, but the men, with
astounding stupidity, made a practice of
washing their clothing, their dishes and
their cooking utensils in the water Of the
things which taxed the patience of trained
professional soldiers. Enough of that sort
of testimony has come out during the ses-
sions of the war commission to satisfy that
body that 80 per cent. of the sickness in
the camps was due entirely to the refusal
or neglect of the volunteer soldiers to OBJ
serve the rules formulated for the preserva-
ton of their own health. The report of the
war commission will have a great deal to
say upon this phase of camp life, and ii
will go a long way toward eXculpating the
officials of the War Department from blame
for camp sickness.

This shows an increase in the voting pop
ulation of seven counties of 23,302 in the
eight years from 1883 to 1896, and an in
crease in the aggregate Republican major
tiles from 5,O74 to 1892. During the period
named the Democratic vote in the seven
counties increased 1852 and the Republican
vote 13,6OO Both parties polled their full
strength in 1883. and the Republicans of In
diana never had a more popular candidate
than Harrison, yet with the aid of the gas
belt vote and the sound-money Democrats
they were able to give Mckinley a ma
jority of 1851 against 2.S4S for Harrison.
This result was mainly due to the increased
interest felt in the tariff question and to the
effect of the sound money issue. Both of
these questions operated in favor of the Re-
publicans all over the State. but particular
" in the gas belt counties, where the work.
ingmen had had a bitter experience of a
tariff for revenue only and where they fully
understood what the effect of free silver
would be on the interests of their employers
and on their own wages. There is no reason
to believe that citizens of the gas belt coun-
ties who voted for Mckinley two years ago
have changed their minds on either the
tariff or the money question. On the con-
trary there is every reason why they should
be of the same mind stlll. The Journal be-
ties will pronounce as decidedly In favor
of sound money and protection in the COM
ing election as they did two years ago.

with exactness; he is emphatically eighty
years young" His perennial yorthfulness
of spirit is the admiration and wonder of a
generation of fewer years. but of tagging
interest in life. AT four score he concerns
himself actively and earnestly with the
educational affairs of the State; he takes
heed of local politics. not for personal or
petty purposes but because of their bearing
on important issues; he writes keen, in
cisive articles on all sorts of current topics,
over his own name, over an assumed name

the utmost amiability an irrepressible fond
ness for controversy. In other words, he is
a born fighter. All his life he has been ac-
customed, when he saw a head, to hit it.,
and his blows have helped to bring about
many a reform. This union of aggressive
ness with unfailing good temper is unusual
and has had it's part in making him the
notable character he is. An Indianian by
birth, he has been identified all his life
with the social, religious and political life
of the State, and his influence has been
felt in many ways. The Journal takes pleas
ure in testifying to its own and the public
regard for him, believing that it is well to
express such sentiments occasionally while
the person concerned is in the flesh. That
he may live many other happy years is the
wish of all who know him.

Hugh Hannn,s Advice.
Lafayette Courier.

The Courier presents to-day a statement
from Mr. Hugh Hanna, the indefatigable
worker for sound money, on the Importance
Of the approaching election, in which he
takes the broad ground that business inter-
ests demand that there shall be no altera-
ton in the public sentiment so emphatically
expressed in the election of 1896. 1t was as
has recovered from the depression and de-
spair which had seized upon all the Amer
lean people, by reason of the mismanage-
ment of governmental affairs by the Demo-
cratic party and the threatened danger of
Reputation through the adoption of a de-
Hanna has cogert reasons for urging the
people to stand firm in the faith, the DEM
onstrations of recent months having made
clear the benefits to be derived, and he
makes these reasons clear in a few words.
The people of this community know Mr..
Hanna well and faVorably. He is such an
one as would be sought for personal advice
fidence that what he might say could be
relied upon. In public matters he is not a
politician. He seeks no personal promotion
and desires no honor at the hands of par
ties. He recognized at an early stage the
menace of free coinage policy and at once
finance. His conclusions, like those of every
man who has weighed well all the questions
involved, are in favor of a money standard
equal to the best in the world and when he
advises the general public that this issue is
important and that the next Congress
should be a sound money Congress, he does
it because of an interest in the welfare and
man whose advice the people may safely
accept, because his interest is the same as
that Of every other man who is in business
and who desires stability of currency.

POLITICS IN THE GAS BELT.


Few events in the history of Indiana have
had as great an influence in promoting the
prosperity of the State and its people as the
discovery of natural gas. The effect has
been marked in many ways. 1t has added
materially to the population of the State,
given a great impulse to its manufacturing
interests, extended the area of its trade and
business influence, increased the wealth of
large number Of individuals and the comfort
of a still larger number, and in other ways
contributed to the welfare of considerable
portion of the State Not the least of its
benefits has been its effect in a political
way. The establishment of many new man
ufacturing industries, owing their existence
and prosperity largely to Republican poll
cies, and the introduction of large number
of skilled and intelligent workmen, have
added materially to the strength of the Re-
publican party and, of course, to the we'll
being of the State. The extent of this in
fluence in adding to the population and to
Republican majorities will appear by a COM
parison of the vote in the gas belt counties
before and since the discovery of natural
gas The discovery dates from 1887, but as
it's effect was not materially felt before
1888 it is fair to compare the vote for Pres
ident in that year with that of 1896. The
following table shows the vote in each of
the gas belt counties for Harrison and
Cleveland in 1888 and for Mckinley and
Bryan in 1896:

proceed upon the theory that their readers
are hungry for more literature and fill their
pages with contributions from the same
newspaper correspondents and the same Off
cial authorities-cQntributio that go over
the same ground and offer no new facts.
The people are not tired of the war; they
are proud of their country's achievements,
proud of their heroes and interested in all
the developments growing out of the con-
they want they do not care to read the
story over and over. Consequently the
magazines are already trifle wearisome,
and, judging by their prospectuses, are like
ly to continue so for a considerable period.
But, as if this were not enough, numerous
books on the war are announced for early
publication. These books will have their
uses, of course; they will contain the facts
from which the real history of the war and
its far-reaching results will eventually be
written; they will also have an interest of
their own, since some of them will be from
the pens of men who have actively particle
pated in the events they describe. But will
the people who have been studying the
newspapers with eager interest care to read
them? It is doubtful. 1t IL no doubt de-
sirable to have the written testimony of the
men who saw the war and were a part of
it while the events are fresh in their mem
cries, but if the publishers could be per-
suaded to barrel up the books, say, for
twenty-five years, or until a generation not
familiar with the history of this period has
come upon the stage, they would confer a
favor upon the people of this day. But pub
fishers are a commercial brotherhood; they
mean to bring out the books now and COM
pei US to buy them and preserve them for
the coming generation ourselves Being a
canny people they will doubtless have their
way and we shall load up our shelves with
a variety of handsome volumes, but in self
defense will perhaps repeat the experience
of the ingenious citizen who lately con-
fessed that the profusion of war literature
outside of the newspapers had driven him
for Sunday reading to the Bible and "Sher-

A WORD TO FIRST VOTERS.

In State as populous as Indiana several
thousands of young men come of age each
year and cast their first vote at each re-
curing election. There is a dignity and i'm
portance attaching to the first vote, in the
eyes of him who casts it, that do not at
tach to any subsequent one, and it is prob
ably cast more conscientiously than any
that follows. The present situation appeals
with more than ordinary force to first vo-
tiers to make their ballots count for right
principles and national progress. There is
great deal more involved in the coming
election than the mere control and adminis-
tration of the government and the possess
sion Of the postofices. Every person who
looks beyond this to the national interests
involved must see that they are large and
important. At home they involve the ques-
ton Of maintaining sound money standard
and protection for American industries, and
abroad they involve the question OF main
tanning the honor of the Nation by UNFOLDING
its flag and establishing its authority over
new possessions. Such questions as these
should appeal with force not only to the
intellect but to the imagination of young
men who have the welfare of the Nation
at heart, and who may live to watch its
course until the middle of the twentieth
century or beyond. 1t is of great conse-
quence to the future standing and prestige
of the country that it should take a right
position on these questions, for they in
volve it's veal or woe for generations to
come. Many Of the young men who will
cast their first votes next week were volun-
teers in the war with Spain. They enlisted
with hearts full of patriotism and ready to
give their lives for the honor of the flag
Gus conclusion, and most of them will re-
turn to their homes without having had an
opportunity of meeting the enemy. But the
issues of the war remain, and the honor Of
the flag and country are still involved. If
these patriotic and high-spirited young men
had had a chance to shoot no one doubts
how they would have acquitted themselves
on the firing line. Duty requires that they
should vote as they would have shot-for
the honor of the flag and country. If they
believed the war with Spain was a just one
and that the flag should be carried to VIC
tory with all the consequences it might in
volve, they should still assert their faith by
voting with the party that represents that
idea and against the party that would belit-
tie the government, surrender the fruits of
victory, haul down the flag and destroy the
national prestige

AMERICAN WIRE NAILS.
Used in Practically Every Country on
the Globe.
Washington Star.

The rapid growth in expectation of Amer
lean manufactures is Illustrated by some
figures which the Bureau of Statistics has
recently compiled regarding the exports of
wire nails. This compilation is the result of
a recent publication in the British Iron and
Coal Trades Review, which says that 1T is
clear that the United States threatens Eu-
rope with q serious competition in the nail
trade despite the fact that it is a highly
finished product and involves the employ
ment OF large amount of skilled labor. >"
This compilation shows that the eXporta-
ton OF wire nails from the United States
has grown from 1,547,07S pounds in the fiscal
year 1883 to 22,894,099 pounds in the fiscal
year 1898. The growth, which has been
phenomenal ever since the beginning, has
been especially so in the last two or three
years.
In 1895 the expectations were 4,S67, 267
pounds; in 1896 S,031 ,927 pounds, thus prac-
tically doubling in one year, and in 1898 22,-
e94,OS9, showing similar gain in the last
two years, the exports of 1898 being more
than five times those of 1895.
The universal demand for this product Of
American workmen is shown by the fact
that our wire nails go to every grand di-
vision OF the globe and to practically every
country. Germany, France Belgium, the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada,
South American States, China, Japan,
Asiatic Russia British Australasia French
Oceanica, British and Portuguese Africa, in
fact, it is difficult to find spot among the
civilized and Semi-civilized people of the
globe where this recent product of American
invention and American labor does not now
find place. To the Danish West Indies
the exports last year were 1850 pounds; to
Peru, 25,9S5 pounds; to Argentina, 268, 942
pounds; to China, 1852 pounds; to British
Africa, 1929 pounds; to British Austral-
asia. LIS pounds, and to Japan, 4,372,-
292 pounds, the exports to Japan being larg-
er than to any other country and forming

Navy Department Thinks She Will Es-
cape the West Indian CYCLONE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Navy De-
partment is under no apprehension as to
the safety of the Marie Teresa although
some fear has been expressed in the SAINT
iago dispatches that the vessel, along with
her consorts, the Vulcan and Leonldas have
fallen into the sphere of a West Indian cy-
clone The Teresa passed Cape Maysi at
the eastern extremity of Cuba, early yes
terday morning bound for Hampton Roads
and signaled that all was we'll and that
her machinery was working smoothly. BY
this time, according to calculations of the
naval officers, she should be well on towards
the Bahamas. keeping well to the eastward
and away from the Cuban coast. Mean
while the Weather Bureau reports TO the
Navy Department show that cyclone Is
forming to the southwest of Havana which
probably will come up the southwest coast
of Florida and If this prediction is true the
war ship would be we'll away from the
pathway of the cyclone-at least 1000 miles,
according TO calculations. The latest call
culation, made at the depart ment, is that
the Teresa will arrive in Hampton Roads
next Sunday afternoon. Presenting that She
has no fever aboard she probably will come
up to the Norfolk navy yard for survey.
Whether the repairs recommended by that
board will be made at the same navy yard
or not will depend largely upon the re-
port Of the board and upon the recommen-
dalton of Chief Constructor Hichborn, but
the probabilities are that the work will be
done in Norfolk.
