THE PRESS.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 81.

1t has probably been occurring to great
many persons recently that too much of
our humanity has been expended upon
alien people and too little upon our owa.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1898-08-31

The correspondent of the Kansas City
Sta seems to show pretty conclusiyely
that he neither unsupported General Miles
nor betrayed his confidence. Indeed from
his representation of the case it looks as
if General Miles purposely and deliberate
ly took this method of bringing certain
facts, not very creditaple to the war de-
partment, to the attention of the public.
1t was an unmilitary performance on Gen
Miles's part. but unmiltary performances
have been the rnle rather than the excep-
ton in this war. General Miles's state
ment sup pleInented by the kilograms
makes out pretty clear case of double
dealing on the part of the war depart
ment. 1t seems evident that while
Miles was recognized as the real comman
der in chief pains were taken to impress
upon General Shafer that he was
the responsible commander at Santiago,
and that Miles was at most merely an ad-
wiser. This apparent double dealing is
however susceptible of q creditable ex

There is q good deal of glib criticism
of the authorities whose duty it was to
take care of the soldiers which seems to
proceed upon the assumption that the
task before them was simple one, and
that failure to perform it satisfactorily in
all respects necessarily implies gross in
efficiency or negligence. This ia not fair
Not only was their task not simple
one, but 1t was one of the most complex
and arduous that can be conceived Of. At
Chickamauga there were 10000 men.
That Is about the population of Portland
Imagine every man, woman and
child in this city suddenly ceasing to
provide for themselves, and having to be
supplied with all their food and clothing,
and provision made to take care of the
sick, by others, and one can get some.con-
ception of the task of the men whose duty
it was to look out for the troops at Chick
amauga. OF course the magnitude of the
task does not excuse anything like cor
ruption or wilful negligence, but it does
tend to palliate mistakes or failure to
perform 1t satisfactorily in all respects.

A WONDERFUL COMPANY.

From the Victoria Daily Colonist:
There is probably no company in
the whole world that enjoys such Il
reputation for reliability as the Kick
apoo Indian Medicine Company. Their
remedies have been the marvel of all
classes of people all over the civilized
world. Each and every remedy has a
reputation for itself. Many people in
British Columbia today can only
thank the Kickapoo Indian medicines
for their lives. Thousands who have
suffered for years with dyspepsia, ca
tarrh, rheumatism. dropsy, liver and
kidney disorders, have been cured by
using Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. Kick
apoo Indian Oil acts like magic in the
case of aches, pains. sprains, etc,
while Kickapoo Indian salve has mys-
titled all who have used it upon old
sores, skin and cutaneous diseases.
Kickapoo Indian Pills have proven
themselves the best for chronic CON
stipation or headaches. Kickapoo In
dian cough cure cures where all 9th
ers fail.
Thousands of women who thought
nothing was left for them but to un-
dergo dangerous operations have been
cured by KiclSapoo Indian Prairie
Plant. Children's lives are saved by
using Kickapoo Indian worm killer.
Ask your druggists for these remedies
or they can be secured at the Kiclla-
poo Indian Medicine Camp, corner of
Alakea and Beretania streets.
Free entertainments every night.

THE reason why we don't charge
twice as much for our ladies wraps is
because we sell them twice as fast.
We get twice as many people talking
about them and we gain twice as
many friends, which means twice as
much money in the long run. HIRsCH-

there the party would wait for the officer
he having agreed to drive out with the
clown. The circus was also moving west
at daylight, and the men expected to over
take their respective travelling companions
Morning cane. and about O'Clock the
officer and clown breakfaste1 !. A little later
the clown announced the arrival of his car
riage- Lieut. Lee had noticed with surprise
the number of men and women who had
congregated on the street, but he never
suspected the cause for such a congrega-
ton.
The clown had excused himself some time
before, and called from the vehicle to the
officer that arrangements were complete
The lieutenant strolled out of the rough
building which enjoyed the name of hotel
and was speechless with amusement to see
his circus friend, fully equipped for the
ring, seated on the high seat of a curious
red and blue vehicle which was drawn by
half a dozen ponies Then Lieut.. Lee real
lied that he had been caught in a trap,
and would have to submit to this practical
joke. He climbed up to the high seat and
perched by the side of the painted clown,
who Immediately began a comic song and
did everything in his power to attract at
tention. The town turned out to see the
sight, and that departure was a memorable
one. The clown was not satisfied, but drove
the officer across the miles of rolling prai-
rie to where the sunburned troopers had
halted. Here Lieut.. Lee practically
turned over to his men with fitting pomp
and ceremony.
The roads divided, the clown faded away
in the blue line of the horizon, and the
young officer galloped beyond the reach of
eye to the cavalry camp.
This was Gen. Lees first visit to Dallas,
Texas, and he has never since that day,
years ago, ventured into the streets of that
little city.
