THE CANTEEN.
The Way the Men at the Front Get Their
Soft Drinks.

Boston. July 25.-A despatch from
Chickamauga to the Boston Journal says
the army cantee at Chickamauga is as
little understood by some of its critics as
was that famous Institution in the
Charlestown Navy Yard to which our
Secretary of the Navy gave his sanction
after an investigation into Its funda-
mental idea and working principle.
The canteen at Camp Thomas is run
rtgidly under army rule and inspection.
Everyone of the number is in the hands
of an exchange officer who is responsible
to the Colonel The idea of the canteen
is to keep the soldier at home on his own
camp ground where he cannot get drunk.
No spirituous liquor is sold at any can
teen on this park under severe penalty.
A negro caught "wild eating" moon
shine whiskey into the reservation the
other day was summarily carried off to
Jail, and under the laws of Georgia may
be sent to prison for a term of seven
years.
Lager beer is the extent at any canteen
in any camp. Besides this the canteen
has been the agency for obtaining ice and
lemons A great business is done in
ginger pop, soda and sarsaparilla waters
and root beer. All of these can only be
bought at the canteen, which also sup
plies cigars, pipes and tobacco. Now
that is the head and front of all its Offend
ing, 1 have been here for weeks under
canvas, in the camp and cut of it. and l
have yet to see the first indication OF In
toxicat1on from or in the canteen.
Drunkenness is not tolerated, and the
evidence of 1t would lead at once to court
martialing of the exchange officer. In
the Eighth regiment the canteen has been
closed except as to the sale of soft drinks
for some time, but principally because OF
the beer supplied, which was declared to
he "gresn" in other words not sufficient
" old; it's effect not being upon the head,
but upon the bowels. The canteen proved
good thing while it was running regu-
larly, and the profits, which will be
divided will net about $50 to each Cold
pany and the same amount for the regi-
mental hospital. But for the canteens In
some regiments there might have been a
still greater hegira for Chattanooga and
its gilded dens than there was after pay
day. In the Eighth Massachusetts,. First
Maine and some other regiments the
canteens we're limited to specified hours
usually four, two at noon and two at
night, Critics who assert that the can
teen is the most "damnable" institution
of the camp labor under a misconception
certainly as to the canteens OF our New
England troops.

THE NEW LOAN.
The First Shipment of Bonds Was Mad e
Yesterday.

Washington, July 25.-The first ship
ments of the new war bonds were made
sadsy. They consisted of 1000 bonds of
$40 each and 1000 bonds of $500 each.
There are about 300, 600 persons to whom
bonds will be allotted and forwarded in
due course by express. Each envelope
must be sealed with three seals. An i'm
pcrtant feature is the Limitation and the
ability of the express agency to receive,
forward and deliver the bonds after they
are committed to their care for this pur-
pose. This limitation is estimated by
the express company at 5000 items per
day. Possibly if this limitation of ability
did not exist-it is a naturally prudent
limit, since on an average Of only $500 in
each envelope, the express company would
receive as fduciary agents, So, 100000 of
the securities per day, and if it required
an average of three days to make de-
liveries, there would be continuous
trust of 81, 500, 0C0-as large Gan amount,
perhaps, as the responsibility of the ex-
press company would justify. 1t is under
seriptions are TO be first attended TO.
These are 100000 in number, and it is
estimated that forty days will be required
for their delivery. From this it will ap-
pear that sub scribers in amounts larger
than $500 will not begin to receive theiz
bonds until after September 1. From
that date the bonds will be put in the
hands of the larger subscribers quite
rapidly.

RECORD BREAKING.
The Reported Riding of Massachusetts
BOY Yesterday.

Norwood, Mass, July 25.-Frank A.
Waller, more familiarly known as
Dutch Waller, the long distance
cyclist, completed his "a hour road record
breaking attempt, at 4.24 p. M, today
The start was made at 4.25 P. m. sun
day, from Post Office square, Norwood,
the pacing being done by six tandems
ana a triplet, each team pacing five miles,
then waiting till Walters return. Waller
finished strong and was apparently not in
the least tagged out by the long and
tedious ride.
He established state records for 30 and
rs miles, broke the state record for 200
miles, the national and worlds record for
aOOniles and the national and world rec
ord: for "a hours. He covered 81 miles in
2.sI.33; rs miles in 4.0l.30; and 100 miles
in 5.17. He lowered the 200 mile state
record made by Warren T. Taylor of Nor
wood, over the same course August 10,
1897, from 1904. 90 to 13.04.47 The next
record to go by the board was the 300 mile
worlds record of %. Sc. 08, made by II.
Smith at Baltimore, May and 10, 1897,
Waller completing 306 miles in 19.471s.
The worlds "a hour record, previously
made by Evans, at New Brunswick. N.
j., August 10. 1897, of $50 miles, 790 feet
was finally left in the shade by Waller,
who raised the distance to 1868 4-1O miles
in 80 hours, SO minutes elapsed time.
On the last circuit of his 81 mile course,
Walters wheel broke, necessitatlng de-
lay of several minutes, but otherwise his
trial was singularly freq from accidents.

THE STATE TICKETS.

wednesday, March %, the Peoples,
Democratic aud Silver Republican
state conventions are 10 be held at
Portland. An earnest and probably
successful effort will be made TO unite
1he three parties on one platform and
one ticket for state, district and con
gTessiOnal offices.
The splendid work done 10 Marion
county W unite the tnree parties 10
one, and 70 agree upon plain and
unequiyOcal declaration OF reform
principles, has been commented 90 all
oTeT the state. aud the influence Of
our example will be felt.
The state Offices 70 be filled are gov
ernOr, secretary Of state, treasurer,
superintendent Of schools, printer,
Judge, attorney general, two congress
men, circuit judges, district attor-
neys and members Of the state board
Of equalization.
There will be great strife for the
state offices and even II platform is
agreed upon 10 is going 10 take the
most careful work 70 appOrtion seven
state Offices and two congressman
among three parties satisfactorily.
Such a conference OF committees on
appOrtiOnment will have a grave
responsibility TO meet. Upon their
work depends the success OF the re-
form parties. Governor, secretary,
treasurer and state superintendent
comprise all the state boards in con-
troll Of the state institutions. There
Will haYe 10 be marked reduction in
the compensation OF some Of our state
officials, although the pay fixed by
the constitution is altogether too
small. There should be some way TO
give these officials fair compensation
without violating the constitution.
Whatever disposition is made Of the
state Offices we believe the Popullsts
should have the state treasury. The
state finances need a clearing up and
the Augean stables sOf the school
funds aud trust funds need a cleaning
out and balance struck. We can't
have the reform In this respect too
thorough.
We believe the onus Of financial re-
form should be put upon the Peoples
party, and backed by all the honest
binaJion that manages the state
treasury now corrupts the public
affairs OF our whole state.
The ONCE OF attorney general should
be abolished. Unless something besides
politician can be elected TO the office
OF state superintendent that office
better be left vacant. A real educator
might do some good for the schools Of
the state, but We need no one there 10
swell the procession Of politicians.
with the Republicans making war
on the most honest aud competent
men and the selection Of the Union
ticket almost a matter OF chance, the
outlook for the people 10 get any i'm
pToyement In their state government
Is not very bright. Let US hope for
the best and be thankful II We don't
get the worst.

Gage Talks.

CLEVELAND. O.,-March 19.-Secre-
tary of the treasury Gage delivered an
address before the chamber of COM
merce on the financial question. The
speaker argued that gold-haYing
been the standard OF money for years,
a change from it would unsettle val
ues and result in commercial chaos.
Mr.. Gage asserted that international
bimetallism would have the faults to
be found in the free coinage of silver,
by this country alone, and said the Re-
publican party is pledged TO bring
about the former as soon as possible,
in the meantime preserving the pres
ent gold standard.
