FOUR WILL NOT SERVE.
Men Selected for the Commission of
Army Inquiry Refuse
to Act.

Washington, Sept. ~. - The presi-
dent has urged the following named
gentlemen among others to accept
place on the committee requested by
Secretary Alger to investigate the
conduct of the war: [
Lieut.. Gen. John M. Schofeld.
Gen. John E. Gordon.
Gen. Grenville M. Dodge.
President D. G. Gilman. ..... ....-
Gen. Charles F. Henderson.
Hon. Robert T. Lincoln.
Daniel S. Lamont.
DR.. w. w. Keene. =
Col. James A. Sexton.
Gen. Schofeld has declined to serve
On the commission. Destinations have
also been received from former Secre-
;aries of War Robert T. Lincoln and
Daniel S. Lamont. Gen. Gordon: has
already Informed the president his
health will not permit him to take
part in the proposed investigat ton.
President C. D. Gilman, of Johns Hop
kins university, will, it is now believed,
accept. There is some hesitation to
accept on the part of others who have
been invited to serve on the commits
sion, but have intimated that they
would accept and have asked further
time to consider.
It is not known why Gen. Schofeld
has declined to serve. Ex-Secretary
Lamont is reported to have declined
for several reasons, the most i'm
portant of which is that he considers
it rather delicate thing to investigate
the administration of his successor,
and besides this his large business in
terests demand all of his time. It is
the presidents wish that the commits
sion to investigate. the war.department
should finish its labors and formulate
its report before congress meets, so
that its findings and recomme nda tions
may be embodied in the annual mes
sage. s .sf..: ss II n: ,ssa4

ENVY AND FEAR.
These Are the Probable Reasons
Given for European Dislike
of Americans.

We believe that the hatred of CONT
nentals for Americans springs from
precisely the same sources as the dis
like for Great Britain, herself, namely,
envy of prosperity considered over
weening, dislike for the bearing of
Americans, and vogue apprehension
akin to that felt by many Englishmen
about Russia, that they will ultima tely
threaten the very existence-or is it
the subsistence ?-of less numerous
races. Of these motives the former is,
with the body of the peoples, the
strongest. They hear necessarily from
the emigrants as we'll as the journals
of the marvellous wealth Of Americans,
of the success of their manufactures,
of the expansion of their trade and of
the general we'll being produced by all
these causes. They see that the Cyan
kees," as they call them, bear none of
the usual burdens, that they have no
CONSUMPTION, no need for watching
their neighbors, no restraints upon
their liberty, and they detest them al
most as strongly as socialists detest
the rich bourgeoise. Why, they ask,
should Americans be so happy while
Europeans are so miserable? They
want taking down. ..E..
This distaste is increased by belief
that the Americans are not only no bet
ter than Europeans, but that they are
morally and intellectually inferior to
them, that their officials are corrupt,
their clergy hypocritical, their masses
given up TO purely material interests
They care nothing for art. have
never erected a building ard have pro-
duced no literature. They look upon
Americans, in fact, much as n "mug-
wump'' looks on an alderman of Chi.
cago, and sicken to think that such a
people is of all mankind that which has
succeeded best in the economic COM
petition and has been most successful
in uniting liberty and plenty. .s =
They cannot bear the peculiar Amer
lean form of swagger, which is not like
either their own swagger or that of
Englishmen, and misunderstanding
their directness and realism in speech
as a form of boorishness. All people
in the world, we have long noticed, are
annoyed by the English habit of
''chaff," and the continental is so
vexed by American "gawkiness'' and
subsa trio humor that he even fails to
recognize, what every Englishman
sees, that kindliness to those who only
demand equality is of the very essence
of the special American character. He
thinks them spiteful as well as selfish,
and looks upon their high. tariffs, the
result of a false politicalseconomy, as
dictated by wish to impoverish Eu-
rope and thrust it out OF. its. natural
right to compete for trade.
The continentals have too certain
fear of the republic, an idea hardly
formulated except among statesmen,
but still visible in the masses, that it
may attain to giant proportions, that
it may one day arm itself, and that
when it does the external commerce OF
the continent, if not it's internal indie
pendence, will be. at the mercy of
America For all these reasons they
hold Americans in detestation.-Lon
don Spectator.

County Treasury Shortage.

The bondsmen of County treasurer
Beaudry, of Polk county, became
aware of the shortage in cash neces-
sary to balance the books of that Of
fee. The amount is not known, but is
believed to be in the nelghborhood of
$4,000. The shortage is laid to Deputy
Treasurer Joseph Matthews, who lett

The Sick Men.

In answer to the telegram from Col.
Van Duzee that there were 70 men on
the sick lidt os the Gath regiment, Gov.
Clough telegraphed his congratula.
lions to the colonel at once.
ut is a wonderful showing, he said.
do you know that the 18th, which
has never been outside of the state,
has more men disabled by 100 than
both of these regiments together,
which have been four months in the
terrible South? I don't believe that
there is another regiment in the coun-
try that can show record as the 18th.
It's the healthiest regiment today In
the United States" ;...-..
The governor has cabled to Col.
Reeve to ask if nurses would be of any
assistance. If the 18th has use for
them he will get permission from the
war department to send them, as the
Red Cross societies suggest.
