A BOLD BUT SILLY LIE.

porters named Scovel attempted to go
upon the roof of the building to take
hand in the official proceeding.

THE WORST OF THIEVERY.

The San Francisco Evening Post"
but still with sufficient emphasis to
command attention, that charges OBJ
tain that Red Cross Society supplies
are being sold to soldiers by Quarter
masters at exorbitant rates, when the
intention was that they should be dis
tributed free to the enlisted men.
If the charge is true, it is one de-
manding the instant and most rigid
investigation, and if guilt is found and
it can be located personally, the pun
ishment should be prompt and severe.
AS the Post" says, the man who robs
corpse of the coppers which close its
eyes has reached what has been sup
posed to be the lowest depths of mean
robs the soldier going out to fight the
battles of his country, and in doing so
likewise robs the sublime charity crys-
tallized in the Red Cross organizations,
is far deeper sunken in infamy.
We had thought that with the aboli-
ton Of the camp sutler, the vampire of
the rebellion days, we had about ac-
complished a reform that was per-
fected by the subsequent transfer Of
the suffers functions to the Quarter
masters Department. But If the lat
ter is rotten to the core, as the charges
referred to by the POST indicate,
then we have made bad matter
worse, for the official thief is ever so
much more Infamous than the unofficial
rascal as can be magined.
We shall hope that the tales told in
this connection are exaggerated, if not
untrue, and that the press has been
misinformed as to the facts. The
charges referred to by the "Post" con-
fine the crime to the transports taking
out soldiers to the scene of wars activ-
ity-the battlefield If this is the ex-
tent of the thievery, then it ought to
be very easy to locate the criminals,
whose crime is double, since they steal
the goods in the first instance, and rob
the soldier in the second place.
AS our San Francisco contemporary
we'll says, sit is piracy on the high
seas" The additional charge is pre-
ferred that the rascals are in league
with the food supply agencies Of the
army, who deal out unwholesome and
meager rations in order to drive the
soldier to the necessity of buying de-
cent food of the departments having the
better article under control The whole
matter should be looked into with the
sword Of justice drawn, and ready to
fall upon every offender.

not indeed at all surprising that the
New York Journal should attempt to
run the whole business of taking San
tiago, or that it should desire to claim
all the honors of the occasion. But the
story continues to the effect that the
reporter was repulsed by the guard and
compelled to stand on a level with other
folks.
I Then we are told the man forced his
way through the lines and to the point
where the commanding General had
his position and deliberately slapped
General Shafter in the face. That is
a lie out of the whole clSth. It attrf-
butes to the reporter a degree of cour-
school of his journalistic style produces.
If Scovel had slapped General Shafter
in the face he would not be alive at
this moment or we mistake the spirit
he had done as is reported, and Shat
ter had retained his composure and not
have run the fellow through, the man
would at least by this time have been
tried at the drum head. have been shot
and his carcass dumped unshrouded
into a trench.
It would have been simple justice to
have thus branded his crime. To slap
the Commanding General of the army
in the face in the presence of the troops
and the enemy, would have been trea-
sonable, to put it mildly. That Scovel
is alive is proof that the recital is a lie
from the bottom up.

Il one Of a family who have been
physicians from one generation to
another. They have but one class
of remedies, which are extracted
from roots, bark and herbs, and
whose excellence has been proved
by their use for hundreds of years.
No minerals are used by us, we thus
avoid the dire effects of poisons
left in the system so often by tine
use of mineral remedies. Our herb
medicines have never failed to cure
any disease that is durable when
taken in time. We diagnose any
