The Same Joe Wheeler.

From The Springfield Republican.
one bright star Of the Santiago battle is
General Joe Wheeler Of Alabama and the
national house of representatives.. His rest
less, eager and watchful spirit contained in
a little wizened body stricken With cimat-
ic fever dominated all that part OF the ar
my under his immediate command, ana
turned the tide of opinion at headquarters
In favor of holding the ground won in the
first days battle. He positively discount
tenanced" falling back, as it would ''cost
us much prestige" IF We can get through
tomorrow all right" he wrote on the night
of July LIST I'VE can make our breast
works very strong the next night" lie
went along the front Of the lines early in
the night and found them very thin from
the losses and eXhaustlons of the bloody
day. but he gave the men shovels ana picks
and set them to work certifying The dearly
bought position. He saw General Hawkins
in person" and told him to get intrench-
ing tools and hold on. When he was APP
pealed to by officers to counsel falling back
to stronger position he admitted the
desperateness Of the situation, but said the
Spaniards were in a worse plight. and or
dered pass that word along the line"
General Kent bears testimony TO the inHu-
ence of General Wheeler: Though i'll and
suffering, General Wheeler was so per-
fectly at home under fire that he inspired
all Of us with assurance" This is the trib-
ute of regular army officer to u voun-
teer soldier who however. had seen some
fighting in years gone by. y wonderful Old
man.
The secret of victory in war, according to
the confederate General Forrest. was ito
get there fustest with the mostest men"
General Wheeer's cardinal principle of ac-
ton as a confederate commander was TO be
at all times where the enemy least expect
ed nun to be. The same indunitahle and
ubiquitous spirit which distinguished him
In the civil war is observable In his course
at Santiago.

next to Admiral Dewey, the prime hero
of the present war. In the most eulo-
CYSTIC terms it commends the vigor Wlth
which be proceeded to make mince PIE
of Cervera's fleet when the time came
for decisive action at Santiago, ana
without casting any slur upon Admlral
Sampson, it declares that the credit or
that magnificent piece of work belongs
chiefly, if not wholly, to Admiral Schley.
We might quote to this same
effect the comments of neWSpa-
rcrs from every section, but the lore
going citation suffices to emphasize the
character Of these comments. Admiral
Schley may not officially be given cred
it for sinking Cervera's fleet at Santa
go but in the eyes Of the people of this
country and on the page of the impair
tial historian. he will always be pro-
claimed the real victor.

The ARMY Ration.

Starved to death! That is the verdict
OF the doctors who attended young Tiff
fany, a youth of wealth, who was brave
enough to go out with the Rough Riders
and who lost his life in consequence.
Starved because he was not given
the proper food. Was it necessary? Was
not that life. as well as many others,
needlessly sacrificed because Of some
body's blunder?
If 50, who IS responsible? Who is
guilty?
Had this young soldier been given
proper food and nourishment while un-
dergoing the rayages of fever, his life
would have been spared This country
is rich. and there is not q man in it
who would begrudge the expenditure of
whatever is necessary to take proper
care of the soldiers Was it red tape, or
was it incompetency that took this life
and the others?

From West to South.


Already soma of the good results or
the Georgia exhibit at the Irans-M lsSiS-
sippi exposition are becoming apparent.
one of these results is an agitation
for the building of a railroad dlreclly
from Omaha to Atlanta, traverslng for
the most part a section of country now
untouched by railroads, and bringing
into close commercial relations sections
of country which are widely divided be-
cause of present connections.
On this subject The Omaha World
Herald draws attention to the fact that
Omaha has no direct outlet to the sea
board of the southeastern Atlantic coast,
but that everything must go in round
about way to st. Louis. Cincinnati ana
Chicago, whence it proceeds through de-
vous channels to southern points, thus
making the southern seapOrts more dis
tant in the matter of time from Omaha
than would be Liverpool or Kamschat-
ka. AS an Illustration, The World-ier-
aid says:
The actual distance to Savannah IS
thirteen hundred mics from Omaha, about
three hundred miles less than from Oma-
ha to Boston but so far as commercial
convenience is concerned, Savannah might
as well be ten thousand miles away. What
Omaha wants and need is Il direct line
owned by one company to Atlanta.
The Constitution most heartily recip-
rocates this good work 50 strongly adj
yocated by it's Omaha contemporary, and
assures it that quite as much interest
will be taken in the matter here as III
the trans-Mississipp country. The pres
ent railroad connections of the entire
southeast have been made with view
TO the carrying trade east Of the Missis-
sippi river. while the business TO the
west of the river has been entirely over
looked, or more properly speaking, has
hitherto been out of the reach of south
ern business enterprises. The time has
come, however, when the leading cities
of the south demand such connections
with the trans-Mississippi systems as
will place it on equal terms with the
cities of the northeast. That this need
is equally felt in the far west IS shown
by the assertion of The WOrld-HeraId
that
We need the cotton goods Of Atlanta, the
Georgia watermelon, the Georgia peach
the hard and soft coal the rice and TIM
Der OF the south. The south needs our
flour. apples. butter. cheese, grain meat,
cattle. horses wooden goods, implements
and all the product of our manufactures,

There are indications which are strong
ly backed up by probability that the
Rutland railroad will soon have an an
nouncement regarding mileages which
will be welcome to the travelling public
asserts the Burlington Free Press. 1t is
expected, although not as yet confirmed
by the officials of the road, that there
will be Issued shortly an interchange
able mileage, good upon the Rutland
railroad, the Boston d Maine railroad
and the Fitchburg system. This arrange
ment would be a little more expensive to
the railroads than is the present one, but
the extra amount of traffic to be gained
by such an arrangement would no doubt
raise the amount of totals in passenger
traffic. The books over the Rutland
railroad would be issued under similar
restrictions to those good only for pass
age over its road, but it is possible that
the other roads may see fit to allow the
use of the books without restrictions.
1t is needless to say that an interchange
able mileage would meet with universal
approval among those who travel over
the roads interested.
