AN ILLUSTRATIVE CASE

| Among philosophers there are two
processes of investigation, called re-
spectively the deductive and the induct-
i've. The one begins with trying to find
the cause fret and the effect afterwards.
while the other reverses the process. In
| the case in hand it makes no difference
at which end the investigation begins,
the same result is reached.
The primordial fact in the case under
consideration is that appointments of a
large number Of inexperienced and in
competent men to important and re-
sponsible positions in the army were
made from political considerations, and
that some, at least, felt little or no obli-
cation to exert themselves in the dis
charge of their duties on account of the
political influences that were behind
them.
The resultant fact Is that there was
never in any of our previous wars such
helter-skelter work, nor so much un-
necessary expense. sickness and DEATH
These two facts illustrate the logical
connection between cause and effect.
Hanna in his appeal to his partisans
inferentially admits the first fact stated.
for he says there were large numbers
in 1895 who worked hard for the election
of the Republican ticket in the expecta-
tion Of reward, and that many were
disappointed. 1t is proper, therefore, to
infer that appointments to army posi-
tions were made to remove dissatisfac-
tions as far as possible. This inferential
admission Is but cumulative proof. To
satisfy the unprejudiced that what we
charge is true it is only necessary to look
over the list of quartermasters' commits
saries and staff officers appointed from
civilian life. In fact it is not necessary
to confine research to subordinate
grades-the work should commence at
the top.
We hope the investigating commission
will thoroughly look into this branch of
the subject, uninfluenced by the men
who induced the president to make the
unfit appointments. 1t will not efface the
disgrace attending the management of
the war, nor restore what has been lost,
but it will have good influence in i'm
proving management in future wars. 1t
will also consign to infamy the men
who deserve it, which will be warning
to those who come after them.

"THE RAILROADS NO ISSUE"

Then Candidate Gage he sung him a song,
A song Of the bully S. p,
And Daniel M. Burns remarked: "It is
wrong
That Mcguire should an anarchist be-"
And the picture of Coils smiled sweeter
and sweet

neat;
We are all of US statesmen, we three,
