not fail of being added to the unpleas-

To be sure it is possible that men

with their organized or money in

litical horizon, and it may be safe and
judicious for Mr.. Mckinley and his

AN HISTORICAL BODY.
The Joint Congressional Committee
on the Conduct of the Civil War.

To the Editor of The Times;
Please give the names OF the joint committee
on the conduct Of the war, and state who Of
them survive. W. II. B.
The Joint committee on the conduct of
the Civil War consisted Of three United
States Senators and four members of the
House of Representatives. On January
20. 1864, Vice President Hamlin appointed
as the committeeman on the part OF the
Senate Benjamin F. Wade, of Ohio;
Zachariah Chandler, of Michigan, and
Benjamin F. Harding, of Oregon.
On the following day, January q. 1864,
Speaker Colfax appointed on the part of
the House Representatives Daniel W.
Gooch, of Massachusetts, George w
Julian, of Indiana, Moses F. Odell, of
New York, and Benjamin F. Lowan, of
Missouri.
The records of Congress show that
none of these senators and representa-
tives are living.
Representative Moses F. Odeli was the
first member of the joint committee on
the conduct of the war TO pass away.
He died at his home in New York city
from cancer of the mouth, on June 13,
1866.
Odell was elected to the Thirty-seventh
Congress (lS63-65) as a fusion Democrat.
He was reelected as a war Democrat, his
opponent being Republican.

describe, but the sight of which simply
crazed the onlookers. There were Eng
| lish and American experts and CORE
our soldiers, who shouted and cried
and hugged one another in their mad
ness over the splendid contempt for
death displayed by these troops. OF
all this we learn nothing from the
Shafter document
Nor do We learn more about the
causes of the starvation of all our
heroes than Secretary Alger told us in
his pathetic letter to Mr.. Depew; and
nothing about the reasons for the fail
ure to detail a sufficient hospital force
TO bring these same noble fellows to
the surgeons when they were 'Mauser-
ed, as they grimly described the
wounds that sent them limping and
crawling in painful search for the
rear. No light is thrown on the con-
troversy as to who sent our wounded,
and later our sick, away from Cuba in
vile smelling cattleships, without fit
water or food, without doctors and
nurses, and without medicines; and no
reply is made TO the charge of Dr.
Greenleaf and DIR. Sem, that when
epidemic disease threatened the army
that had done such glorious work, Gen
Shafter himself roughly refused to de-
tail sufficient force to put the camps
in sanitary condition. Although in
general terms the surgeons are prais-
ed-as they we'll deserve to be, work
ing as they did in such inadequate
number and without proper appliances
and aid-neither DR.. Greenleaf nor DR.
Sem are mentioned for the promotion
they so fully earned.
To many cynical and to more sophis-
ticated persons. this report will prove
no disappointment. Especially are
they not surprised that no recognition
is made Of the fine generosity of Gen.
Miles who, after getting Gen. Shafter
out of a threatening situation-saving
him from retreat and perhaps annihila-
tion-courteously went aboard the Yale
and allowed Gen. Shafter to take all
the credit of the surrender. He takes
it, too, Some passing acknowledgment
of the noble unselfishness of his su-
perior might have been graceful, and
it would not have detracted from any
glory that belongs 10 or will be popu-
larry accorded to Gen. Shafter. Well,
we must take our military genuses as
they are, with all their peculiarities,
and be grateful if they handle the
sword better than the pen.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER ls, 1888.
Manana sampson I'm Cuba.

If do nothing and delay were the gol-
den things desired of the Commission
sent to Cuba TO arrange for Spanish
evacuation, we are satisfied that the
President could not have done more
wisely than TO make Sampson one of
its members. Already We have the
most pleasing evidence that he has
succeeded in winding up his colleagues
In the red tape of his archaic bureau
methods, and we are not without some
expectation that before long he may
file them all away in pigeon holes.
1t is exhilarating TO observe the ef-
fecTs OF Sampsonism on the Commits
sion. Presumably in Cuba for the sole
purpose of impressing upon Blanco
and his pseudo "autonomist' govern
ment, the necessity for immediate de-
parture, we note with placid glee that
Sampson has been able TO turn the
mission into a long-winded writing
match between his and the other
crowd. The method adopted is for the
American Commission to eat dinner
and then write Blanco a letter. While
the latter is getting himself into shape
TO think out lie or two, or hunt up
q new and impudent proposition for in
demnity on account of old ordnance
brought over by Columbus, the Ameri-
cans take a run in their steamer to
Key West or somewhere, where the
beer is fresher. Then they return in
response to a cable that Blanco has
prepared a reply. They probably re-
turn TO Havana, get il, and then go
away for awhile to sleep over it. and
so on.
At the present rate Of progress more
Americans and more Spaniards win die
of old age before evacuation is accom-
plished than would have been killed in
a campaign against Cubas capital city.
Perhaps that is the object of the meet
ing. II SO then Sampson is the man,
not exactly of the hour, because moth
ing as short as an hour could have
any possible connection with him; but
let us say he is the man of a century.
II would take about that gross amount
of chronology TO get anything useful
out of him, or out of whatever he
might control in the interests of
bureaucratic delay and decay.
The times., 1898-09-16

There are trusting souls who were
able TO suspend judgment on the press
ing question of responsibility for the
undeniably needless sufferings of the
army in Cuba until the official report
Of the commanding general of the Fifth
Corps should be published If Gen.
Shafter had any thought of their con-
fidence, he does not show il in what
purports to be the full text of his re-
port. II is possible, we are told by
persons who are familiar with the au-
dacity Of the War Department, that his
manuscript was carefully edited and
the deadly blue pencil applied to every
interesting and important line. AT any
rate no such lines are found in the
printed history of the campaign as
written by Gen. Shafter. Even adjec-
tives that might have lightened its
pervasive duIlness are absent, and
events truthful description of which
would make the royal blood of an
American leap and bound, are told
with a tameness that would meet the
views Of an ordnance bureau clerk No
one would fancy from the mechanical
recital that our soldiers who poured up
the sides OF San Juan hill in a storm of
Mauser bullets and those who scaled
Ell Caney's steep, had done things to
be remembered with the charge of
light brigade that Kinglake and Ten
nyson have perpetuated, and with the
charge of the lancers at Omdurman

(From the Detroit Free Press.
Had Judge Cooley been less prodigal of his
mental forces and more content to rest from in
tellectual toll in his declining years he might
have been spared the lamentabe breaking down

of his life. However that may have been, his

later Charles Frohman bought the manu-

the country with more than three COM

shenandoah had made, almost every

to write war dramas.
