The Present DUTY of Volunteers.

Trouble is anticipated in military
circles in keeping intact and efficient
that portion of the Federal volunteer
army which is to be held to service
for the full two years term of enlist
ment. More than one-half of the vol
unteer troops raised under the two
Executive calls in April and May last
are being furloughed, with the inten-
ton of mastering them out of service
within the next thirty or sixty days
The remaining soldiers of the volun-
teer army, from $4,000 to s., 900 strong,
are to be kept in military camps, fully
equipped for duty, until such time as
their services shall be required i'll
Puerto Rico, Cuba or the Philippines.
1t has already become evident that
the rank and file of the volunteer
regiments thus preferred for military
duty by the War Department are not
at all pleased with the prospect be
fore them of routine service in garri-
son duty, varied perhaps by an occa-
sional brush with lawless guerrillas
or breech- clouted brigands As noted
in the multifarious petitions for dis
charge sent to the Executive by vol
unteer organizations, they enlisted to
fight; and il the chance of fighting no
longer exists they want to go home.
1t has not been observed in any
quarter that any considerable pro
portion of the volunteer staff and line
officers have evinced a consuming
desire to get out of the service. They
are drawing comfortable salaries for
nominal duties-the forty-seven com
missioned officers in each regiment
being paid in the aggregate about
SIT, 900 annually-and are largely CON
tent with the situation. 1t would
not be difficult, indeed, to muster any
number of volunteer commissioned
officers for term of Federal service
indefinitely prolonged. While there
are many volunteer officers in the
regiments marked for continued duty
who would not object to an honorable
discharge from the Federal service,
very few have asked to be relieved,
even whereas in the case of William
Jennings Bryan of the Third Nebras-
ka Acknowledgements public ques-
tions and political movements are
side tracked during their absence in
camp.
But the private soldiers, who have
been largely recruited from active
business life-from the farms and

The committee on resolutions re
ported the following, which were
adopted:
Resoloed, That it is the sense of
this committee,
/. That the Sunday school should
maintain its organization and so far
as possible its regular sessions during
the winter season.
2. That better training of our
teachers is essential, and we therefore
recommend the holding of weekly
teachers meetings, and the organiza-
ton of normal classes.
3. That these words may be the
more effectively met, we recommend
that county normal superintendent
be elected by this convention.
4. That the Home Department has
proven to be an important factor in
Sunday school work for the extension
of the work and for the general study
of the word of God in the home, we
therefore recommend the introduce
ton of this department in our county,
and to this end recommend the cleo
ton by this convention of a county
superintendent of Home Department
Work.
8. That we express our grateful
appreciation of the kindness of the
pastor and officers of this church for
the use of their beautiful edifice for
the sessions of this convention, and
also to the good people of Accident
and vicinity for the hospitable man
ner in which we have been received.

REAR ADMIRAL SIMPSONS share in
the four million dollars or Whereabouts
realized from the sale of prizes captur-
ed by our navy during the war with
Spain will amount to 100000. Rear
Admiral Dewey will receive about
$4,000 and Rear Admiral Schley S., 900
all or nearly all of which was earned
by the destruction of Spanish ships
of war. Three-fourths of Rear Ad-
miral Simpsons pile was derived from
merchantmen caught in the act of
running the blockade. The Cuban
blockade was by far the most profit
able of all the adventures of our navy
if it be permissible to use the Ian
guage of the counting room in speak
ing of feats Of arms. There was alb
solutely no danger involved in stop
ping unarmed vessels and putting
prize crews aboard and yet the block
ade will yield a net revenue to the
feet under Rear Admiral SIMPSONS
command his share whereof will be
$4,000. Prize money, therefore, can
not be regarded as a reward of extra
ordinary heroism, but as stimulant
to the money-getting instincts of
naval officers. The system is indefen-
sible, and the more closely it is ex-
amined the more sordid and repulsive

Admiral Schley.

Some of the papers are limiting at
Admiral Schley for President. So far
since he has come into prominence
before the public, Admiral Schley has
been remarkable for efficiency, mod
esty and good sense. If some of his
foolish friends would but emulate his
example in these particulars it would
be better for him and far more cred
liable to them. He would be a very
foolish man to give up his assured and
honorable position in the navy to go
into a scramble for political office,
though it be the highest Mountain
Echo.

one can prosecute thieves who
steal from the State, except the
Attorney-General, was so absurd
that only the evidence furnished by
DR.. Swallows written statement
could convince anyone that the
idea had birth in DR.. Swallow S
abnormal imagination. OF course,
no 'well-read lawyers had in
formed him. Even the char-wOman
around a law office would writhe if
such information were attributed
to her. But then, DR.. Swallow. in
the same letter, as though he be-
lieved in his own ridiculous state
ment of the law relative to thievery
from the State, goes on to say that
he has many times importuned the
Acknowledgement to proceed
against the State thieves, and has
offered to submit his "conVicting
evidence" The ordinary citizen
thinks that if DR.. Swallow has
"cOnvicting evidence" he ought to
submit it, and not talk 50 much
about doing 50. But Attorney-Gen-
eral Mccormick has evidently taken
DR.. Swallows statement about I'M
portuning him seriously, and treats
it as worthy of reply; for he thus
addresses Governor Hastings:
II believe it to be due to you
and to the public, as well as to my
self, to say that the candidate DIR.
Swallow referred to, has never,
directly or indirectly, mentioned
the subject to me, and, of course,
has furnished not a syllable Of evil
dence to sustain any charge that he
has made; nor has he, in any of his
public utterances, shown that he
possessed any evidence that would
be admissible in any court in any
civilized country in the world"
Such stinging rebuke would not
be accepted in silence by DR.. Swal-
low did he not know that his charge
which brought it forth is baseless
and that the rebuke itself is well
deserved-Harrisburg Telegraph.

The Press takes a pardonable
pride this week in republishing an
article which lately appeared in
the Bradford Era, concerning the
Hon. c. w. Stone, of Warren
county, who is a candidate for re-
election to the United States Con-
gress. The editor of the Press is
under obligations to Congressman
Stone for favOrs rendered at time
when the Cleveland administration
attempted to ''butcher" the vet
Grams of the late war of the Rebel
lion and but for his timely aid our
name would now be "Dennis'' on
the pension rolls of the United
States Congressman Stone was
our friend then, and he is still the
friend of every deserving veteran
Of the war which tried mems souls.
True, we suffered no such hard
ships as the boys who faced Spanish
bullets, as the ice cream and cake
always reached the front on time
during those trying days, and the
cattle cars in which we were trans
ported to the front contained all
the luXuries Of the times. Il courtesy

waged against the Republican party
is little short of infamous. 1t has
depended upon malice, misrepre-
sentation and downright and will
full Justification. Doubtless it has
deceived many voter. Yet out
of the sorry mess of slander and
abuse the Republican candidates
arise clean, honest and unassail-
able.
If the Republican party has such
candidates, men above reproach,
why follow the reckless mouthings
of disappointed ambitions and elect
Democrats?
Either William A. Stone, the
soldier, or George A. jerks, whose
love for the soldier was so great
that in 1864 he opposed the legisla-
ton permitting the soldier to vote,
will be elected Governor. There is
no escape from this.
The election of Stone means safe
ty to the State and Nation. The
election of jerks means the revival
of Organism in its most blatant
form. Choose between them.
President Mckinley in his recent
speeches appeals for unity. The
whole policy of the administration
is at stake in this fall's elections.

leader?

One nore Swallow Friction.

DR.. Swallow has filled the State
with his cries Of criminal wrong
doings by State Officials. He has
charged them with every crime,
from incendiarism-the burning of
the Capitc. building-to petty
larceny-the stealing of old furni-
ture. His charges have been broad,
his facts meagre, and his proof
absolutely nonresident. Yet he
declares he has "convicting evi-
dence' which he carefully conceals.
Why does he conceal it? Probably
because he has none to present.
Several weeks since Colonel Stone
pertinently suggested in writing to
DIR. Swallow, that if he had evil
dence that would show probable
cause for the charges of grave
crimes he has been making, it was
his duty, not only as an ordained
minister of the gospel, but as u
good citizen, to lay such evidence
before the district attorney of
Dauphin county for action by the
grand jury. In reply to this appo-
site suggestion DR.. Swallow wrote
Colonel Stone:
"Now, Colonel, you are a lawyer,
you are more; a lawmaker in one
branch of the highest lawmaking
body of the nation, and yet you
evidently don't know that pri-
vate individual cannot bring suit
against State officials for malfea-
sance in office; that a grand jury
cannot hear his testimony, and the
district attorney cannot prosecute
the case unless it originates and be
presented for the Acknowledgement
Of the State, as | am informed bv
