TOPEKA LOSES.
Close and Interesting Game at Atchi-
son Yesterday.

Atchison, June 28.-For nine innings
yesterday there was no telling whether
Topeka or Atchison would win the game
of base ball. Chamberlain, who was
in the box for Atchison, was wild, and
while Atchison steadily led in scores,
it looked as if Topeka would NOW him
down almost any time. Topeka's hits
were scattered over five innings, and
We're not effective. Gatewood played a
remarkably strong game at second base
for Topeka, picking up three ground
balls which had every appearance of
hits. Atchison played an excellent game
in both infield and outfield.

Joseph Wheeler for lieutenant general has not been received with wild enthusiasm by the northern newspapers.
 Only a few days ago General Wheeler was renominated for congress in the Eighth congressional district of Alabama. There was no opposition to him at the democratic party primary, and it is said that "this year General Wheeler will be elected by the unanimous vote of the people of the district, as it is understood that neither the republicans nor the popuists will put up a candidate"
 That Is right as right can be; but does it not seem to the Washington Post, If the bitter factional feeling in Alabama could be laid aside out of considerations of pa- triotism, that the political and sectional passions of the north and west might also yield to the same generous emotion?
 The nomination of General Wheeler for lieutenant general of the army would be a fairly won national tribute to his solderly deserts. It would be the best way out of a somewhat embarrassing situation, and would be regarded not as a reflection upon General Miles or General Shafter, or any other general with aspirations, but as re- ward for actual service in the field; notice to military men that if they want the baton of a grand marshal of the Grand Republic they must fight for it.

4 RICH MANS POST

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 The Presidents difficulty in selecting fit man for the post of ambassador to Eng land comes at the present time when it has some chance of impressing upon congress the necessity for increasing the salary at tached to that office. At least some of the members, notably those senators who are rumored to have been asked to take the position, and have felt that they could not afford to do so, will remember the subject until next winter. There are plenty of men in the United States who could fill that position with honor to themselves and usefulness to their country, but the number of them who can pay its large expenses out of their own means is much smaller, and, as a matter of principle, none should be asked to do so. This country is rich enough to pay for its own service, without requir- ing it's public servants to pay their own ex- DenSeS.

The New York Primaries.

New York has a primary election law, and under that law both parties went last Tuesday to the places where they will vote 7 next November, and voted, not for aspir- ants directly, but for delegates to the vari- ous conventions soon to be held-assembly, senate, congressional, judicial and state, The primaries of the two parties were held were conducted by the city officials and the votes were canvassed by those officials. The entire affair was official
 The people of New York have, in other words, done away with the caucus, but not with the convention. This simply shows one of two things-either the politicians are not willing to surrender all of their op- portunites for dickering, or else the statesmen of New York concluded that the people of New York were not to be trusted with the direct selection of their own agents. The politicians are, at any rate, kept in as political middemen. Alabama wants no such law. Georgia and South Carolina vote directly, and without inter- vention of any kind, for nominees, and Alabama certainly will decide to line up with those states rather than with New York.
 Otherwise the New York plan seems to be satisfactory. The state conducts all primaries, and foots all bills. All may vote who were qualified to vote at last years general election. One may vote all day long, and all the evening also The polls are opened at o'clock in the morning. and closed at 10 o'clock at night, and the vote must be counted and declared within seventy twohours afterwards.

UNREAsONING CRITICISM

From the Selma Journal.
 One of the ills inseparable from greatness is the unreasoning criticism to which the great man must frequently submit Colo nel William Jennings Bryan has had to undergo more than his share of it. When he entered the amry and raised, by the way, one of the finest regiments in the ser vice, he had to submit to fire of all sorts of filings. from his enemies. His conduct, however, has been admirable lie has kept his mouth closed on political matters, de- clining absolutely to discuss them at the ovations rendered him when on his way to Jacksonville, and he has devoted himself exclusively to his military duties until he is considered one of the finest volunteer officers in the army. Now, however, 1t is announced that he intends to soon resign his commission and will again enter the political arena. Look out for fire of abuse and misrepresentation from his old enemies, who have never acknowledged any patriotism or statesmanship in him, not even when he donned the uniform of his country and went forth to fight its bat@ ties.

AGLARING MISTAKE OF THE WAR

From the Washington Dispatch.
 The neglect to care for the soldiers and the sufferings endured by them are largely due to the abolishment of the inspector generals department and appointing few inexperienced volunteers in their places. This fact has escaped notice until now, when it is learned that for the first time in the history of civilized warfare conflict has been waged without an inspector gen. erals department.
 The importance of the inspector generals department can be appreciated when'it Is stated that it is the detective force of the army and makes Investigations of every kind and reports to the major general com manding what is necessary for the comfort of the troops. They are supposed to visit the camps and investigate the sanitary conditions, especially the sinks, which have been such a prolific source of trouble. It is the duty of the officers of the inspector generals department to examine into the commissary stores, the quality of the food, and manner of cooking; to look after the medical stores, the number of surgeons, how they perform their duties, and, in fact, inquire into everything which pertains to the health and comfort of the troops, and when cases of neglect are found to report them to the secretary of war or the conn manding general and have the wrongs rec- tified.
 An officer of the department of high rank is rather free in his criticisms, and says this is one of the glaring mistakes of the war; one which should be brought to the attention of the Investigating commission, as much of the suffering endured by the troops could have been prevented if this department had not been practically abol- ished. f ,t.i

Fair Play For the Volunteers.

The war department estimates that there will be needed as armies of occupation, 5O- 600 men in Cuba, 12,OOO in Porto Rico, 5000 in Hawaii and 10000 in Luzon-in all, 5000 men. As the regular army has been cut down by fever and hard service to about 600 men, and cannot in any event ex- eeed 61, ,0OO men, it is plain about o0,0OO vol unteers will be needed throughout another year.
 The military advisers of tho president propose to hold 100000 volunteers against this deficiency of men, having no regard whatever to the spirit of their enlistment, or the spirit of fair play, or to the desire of the men themselves. General Miles, on the other hand, thinks the volunteer army should be reorganized, keeping those that desire to stay in the service, and discharg- ing at once all who prefer to go home.
 General Miles proposition should be adonted There will be no trouble what ever in re-enlisting enough men to serve as a police force in the new possessions Besides the regular army and the volunteer regiments that desire to stay in the ser vice, not over twenty-five thousand men will be needed, and that number can be re- cruited from the disbanded regiments Under General Miles sensible and practical plan that number would be continued Ill the service with the full consent of the men retained. Either through new enlist ments or through the plan of the general- in-chief of the army, the needs of the gov ernment can be supplied without infring- ing upon the moral rights Of the volunteer army to a discharge at the end of the fight ing The war that the volunteers enlisted for is over.

SUBSTITUTE FOR PnosPHoRUs

From the Washington Star.
 If it be true, as claimed, that the long looked-for new match has been invented it is news of great importance. An English man and a Berlin chemist have announced the invention of a match which will. strike anywhere and of which phosphorus is not a component part. The makers of friction matches are liable to necrosis, horrible form of jaw disease, a result of the use of phosphorus, and In Europe large rewards have been offered for a suitable substitute for this dangerous substance. It is to be hoped that the substitute has been found.

Riqhts Instead of PriviIeqas.

The Oneonta Democrat urges it's readers to help their children first, and their school teacher afterwards. Do not, it says, employ poorly qualified teachers through sympathy with their needs or de- sires or condition. Employ it adds, better teachers, and raise better citizens.
 The Democrat is wholly right. The schools of Alabama were not established in order to let school trustee employ a relative, or do an act of charity of any kind. Any such sentimentality is blow aimed at the rights of helpless, innocent children. It is very hurtful and very mean.
 The sooner all recognize the fundamental doctrine that every child born in this state is entitled to an education at the expense of the state, the sooner educational affairs in this state will be put in a condition that will promote the states prosperity as well as its good name.
 This right to an education that every Alabama-born child possesses is simply the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The right to life is right to equal warfare In lfe's struggles, and that involves in this age of the world an education. The right to liberty involves an education also, for only educated men can maintain and appreciate liberty. It goes without saying that the right to the pur- suit of happiness calls for a mental condi- fiop obova that of tba hrufa

 Spain sides with the czar and has off, cially expressed her approval Of his dis armament scheme
 Aesop once wrote a fable of fox, which, having lost it's tail through stress of sir cumstances, endeavored to start the fash ion among all animals of going without tails. They were cumbersome, he argued, not at all ornamental and a nuisance gen. orally. His arguments were considered good, but his motives were suspected, and the propaganda failed.

The Fever Dormant.

Lafayette county, Miss, possesses all the known cases of the fever that exist east of New Orleans, and the Mississippi river. Whether Lafayette county got in its much-talked-of bunch of bananas, a higher and stronger kind of infection than went elsewhere, or whether the soil and air of the county is this year peculiarly adapted to the propagation and multiplica- tion of disease germs-whether these things be so or not, it is certain that the disease readily takes root there. As soon as the infection was carried to Oxford, cases of the disease began to appear, and today OK ford seems to be as well supplied with in- lection as Taylors or Orwood. The entire county is full of infection. Cases are oc- curing far out from the affected towns
 But thus far the poison has been pretty well confined within county lines. Water Valley, to the south, and Holly Springs, to the north, are free from the disease, and so is Winona, and so, for that matter, is the rest of the state.
 The extent of the infection in New Or leans is not definitely known. The dis patches concerning it are not models of ac- curacy, and the New Orleans papers are as silent as the tomb as to that subject. Not word of information can be gathered from them, as to the fever in either New Orleans Franklin. It is plain there are plenty of cases in both towns, and that both should be isolated and declared un- clean until frost comes.

 by the generous fees of his wealthy par ishioners, who thought nothing of giving him $l 600 for officiating at a wedding or funeral service. Moreover, he was fre- 1 quently and generously remembered in the wills of the members of his congregation who died during his pastorate.

 From the Springfield Republican,.
 The government has paid for the use of
 the four liners of the International Nayi-
 gaton company as auxiliary cruisers dur
 ing the war rental of $1,475,OOO. There
 were four of them and they were in the
 naval service about 120 days, one-third of a year. This rental amounted to $1 107-
 000 a year per ship which certainly ought
 to be considered a fair return, amounting
 as it would to S3 per cent or more on the
 original investment. Besides the enormous
 rental, the government had to fix up the ships for war uses and afterward meet the cost of restoring the ships 10 their former condition as passenger steamers-involving another large sum. It would appear to be
 quite economical to build battle ships and
 maintain them
