lrrigating Gardens.

Ten years ago the cost of wind
mill was more than the owner of a
small farm could afford, but wind
mills are better, more efficient and
cheaper now, being within the reach
of all For irrigating gardens or
small fruit farms they have been
found very serviceable, and are more
satisfactory in this section than in
the West, as they are not essential
except when there is a dry spell.
When rain is abundant the wind
mill stores water for use when the
moisture is lacking, and the cost is
but little compared with the advan-
tages gained.

FRIDAY, JULY %, 1898.
The People and Peace.

The promptness with which the great
body of the people have made known
their opinions on the subject of peace,
through their legislative representa-
tives. the newspapers, and the pull
pit, shows that it has received
vast deal of serious attention.
Things move quickly in time of
war, and the popular mind keeps pace
with them. Here in America, at any
rate, the fact that the sentiment of the
people usually determines the course of
the Government in matters of general
concern, has encouraged a constant
study of vital questions and developed
power to think quickly and with a
sense of responsibility. No observing
person can doubt that the agencies
mentioned accurately reflect the domi-
nant feeling and thought of the coun-
try. The Times has published the ex-
pressions of a number of leading SEN
ators and representatives. who speak
not only for themselves, but also for
the greater part of their constituents.
With the exception of a very few news
papers, that do not profess to represent
the masses of the people, the press has
been in harmony with the majority Of
the national legislators. The preachers
who have uttered the same views are
known to be in high favor with the
patriotic classes that make up the most
of our population. So there can be no
serious question as to how the men who
are risking their lives in this war and
those who are giving to the President
material and moral support think about
the conditions of peace.
The answer the President will make
to what is called the Spanish peace
overture will not necessarily reveal his
ultimate purpose as to the Philippines,
the disposal of which is of graver mo-
ment even than the matter of money
indemnity. The arguments are all OBJ
vious and have been considered by
thoughtful Americans. That the reten-
ton Of the archipelago by the United
States may be a source of perplexity
to the Government Is admitted, but it
may be said without boastfulnsss that
the American people have faculty for
dealing effectively with complicated

ial, and that Is a saving thing. In any
event, the United States is better quail
fed, on many accounts. to determine
the future of the Philippines than any
other nation, and for that reason,
among others, 1t has no right to shirk
the responsibility.
On few points, at least, the mind of
the American people is made up-that
there should be no talk of terms until
Spain makes her sincerity plain by ap-
pointing commissioners with power to
negotiate a settlement; that there
should be no armistice until Spain con-
cedes her defeat and takes the proper
steps to close the war. and that the
Philippines should not be returned to
Spain or transferred to any other pow

Then Philip brought the clumsy craft to

won admiring cheers even from the enc

four more days Of life in Sing Sing. On
Monday morning he will expiate his
crime in the electric chair. Thorn is
awaiting the hour of his execution with
little concern. He is exhibiting remark
able nerve, and says he will go to the
chair without fiinching. Warden Sage
told Thorn this morning that his counsel
had yesterday applied to Gov. Black
for a Communication of sentence from death
to life Imprisonment. This appeal was
not made at Thorn's solicitation, and he
not only expects that Gov. Black will
refuse his lawyers request. but has stat

pay the penalty in the chair than serve
a life sentence

are no longer the subject Of oficial at
tentton In the matter OF sickness.
The record printed this morning
shows little or no progress in the work
Of checking the spread Of disease.
Here, again, there is an annoying
neglect to classify the cases. In a pre-
vious report 1t was noted that yellow
fever claimed only a certain share of
the victims. large percentage being
down with malarial and a few with ty-
phoid fever. 1t is both interesting and
important to know whether typhoid.
which is by far the most serious, is in
creasing. 1t is to be hoped the medical
department, which must be prepared for
the demands to be made on it from
Santiago, has some other source Of in
formation than General Shafter's un-
satisfactory telegrams. At any rate.
more than four thousand of his soldiers
are on the sick list. Besides these.
there must be at least two thousand
who have been i'll. but have returned
to duty. Although out of hospital
and mending. for time these
men must be unequal to such work as
was required of the army before the
capture of Santiago. The only crafty
ing feature of the situation is the small
percentage of deaths. there having been
but two from yellow fever on Wednes-
day.
DR.. Sem, the chief of the operating
staff. has made complaint of the re-
fusal of General Shafter to take pre-
cautions against the spread of the cpl
demic. Application was made to the
commander for detail of troops to aid
in sanitary work and was denied. This
seems to support the charge that there
has been a lack of organization Of the
medical corps in the Santiago
army. The system supposed to
be in force provides for
hospital detail of three per cent
of the enlisted men in every division,
to be placed under command of officers
only to their orders. This considerable
and ample force in the hands Of the
surgeons should have made it unneces-
sary to call on General Shafter for
more men from the fighting line. There
has been no investigation ordered Of
the repeated charges of inefficiency of
the hospital department. Another sug-
gestive thing is an appeal from DIR.
Sem to the secretary of the Illinois
Army and Navy League for hosp tai
supplies for the Porto Rico campaign
The telegram reads: Send all you can
to the hospital ship Relief. Will sail
for Porto Rico in about one week" In
the report of the league secretary it is
stated that the women of Downer's
Grove sent twenty-five dollars to the
league TO be devoted to the purchase Of
surgical Instruments for the army" Is
it necessary that the most important of
hospital supplies, including instru-
ments. should be bought by private
subscription?
