SIandering Our Army.

The same gentlemen who have pre-
dicted the continuance Of the war for
centuries to come have also spread
abroad many tales to the effect that
our officers and men have conducted
the fighting against the Filipinos In
wanton manner, with needless
sacrifices of life and with general dis
regard OF the rules and principles OF
civilized warfere. We shall consider
all this to be baseless slander until
some evidence can be brought for
ward to prove the charges. There
have been assertions, furthermore, In
various quarters that our soldiers In
the Philippines have been suffering
needlessly and have been III provided
for. The best evidence obtainable
goes to show that no troops at a
distance from home and engaged In
actual warfare were ever SO wellsup-
piled with food, medicine, clothing,
and hospital care and facilities as
our army now in the Philippines.
The conditions OF campaigning In
Luzon subject our men to no little
hardship in spite OF everything that
can possibly be done; and the end OF
the war will be welcomed by all
thoughtful and sensible people with
a deep sense of relief and gratitude.
But while we have a business OF that
kind on our hands it is not well 10
exaggerate the dark side Of the pic
ture. And it is folly that approaches
criminality to plot schemes for ham.

and with the grading of the road a detailed
survey will be made for the location of the

already been ordered, and contracts for the
furnishing of suitable number of ties will
soon be let. 1t is expected the entire ex-

The new road will be a trolley line, with

come out on the pike some distance below
Montrose, and thence continue to Rockville,
securing an entrance into and through the

WASHINGTON TO ROCKVILLE.
Early Extension of Georgetown and

Mr.. Louis P. Hall, the manager of the
Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad, visit
ed Rockville today, and closed contract
looking toward the grading of that portion
of the old Rockville pike from short dis
tance below Montrose post office to Rock
Vile, a space of something over three miles.
The grading will be done by the railroad
company. The county commissioners of
Montgomery county recently made bond
issue Of $4,000 for grading the pike, but
with this limited sum the grade planned for
was about 9 per cent-that is, nearly six
feet fall in every 100 feet of roadway. This
was regarded as entirely too steep grade
for the electric road. per cent being re-
garded as about right.
The county commissioners could not
spend the funds to establish this grade, and
the railroad company was not permitted to
make per cent grade on one portion
OF the pike while the other portion would be
per cent grade. Accordingly. the railroad
will grade all of the road, making 1t 9 per
cent, and the contract having been closed
this morning work win be commenced
without loss of time and pushed forward
to completion.

Of the present railroad from Bethesda

work of the anti-saloon movement. Mr..

made reports the former, for the Good
Templars, and the latter for the Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church. Mr.. Garfield laid
great stress on the Importance of the pledge
work of the Good Templars and gave it as
his opinion that the vast majority Of those
most interested in temperance reform are
peoDle who have at some time taken g.

FORT MYER HEIGHTS Va
April 1s, 1s99
The republicans of Alexandria county
held a convention at Odd Fellows Hall,
on Columbia pike, yesterday afternoon
There were probably 500 voters present
Considerable confusion marked the open
ing at O'clock and fears were expressed
of a break in party lines, but stirring
speeches by Messrs William Ford and Wiz
sey P. Hall, both Of Jefferson, secured har-
mony. and a ticket was finally nominated,
as follows: County clerk, Charles 1. Kolb
of Arlington; county treasurer, VIM. c.
Wibirt of Arlington; commonwealth's at
torney, Richard W.. johnson of Jefferson;
sheriff William Duncan Of Jefferson; COM
missioner of revenue, H. L. Holmes of JEFF
ferson.
Immediately upon assembling the con-
vention organized by the election of Mr.
Tibbett Allen as chairman and John PEN
dleton. secretary: report from the COM
mittee on credentials was approved by ris-
ing vote, and the following delegates were
recognized by the chair:
Jefferson district-Charles Burroughs.
Henry Willis, J. w. Pendleton, ]. r. Smith
and NJ G. Payne.

]. H. Butler, w. H. Smith and ]. E. Nc

Washington-H. Dorsey, ]. H. Mansfield.
]. L. Smith. ]. S. Snowden and William
Lewis.
After a motion to proceed with the nomi-
nations had been ruled out as premature.
several addresses were made, those of
Messrs. Ford and Hall creating great en-
rhusiasm. The latter took occasion to
criticise President Mckinley for his prom
ises to care for the confederate graves.
Commissioner Holmes made few re-
marks and a motion was then carried fav-
orable to an immediate vote on the nomina-
tions. The chair appointed Messrs Butler
and Pendleton as tellers and the choice of
candidates was made without further de-
lay.
Mr.. Chas. I. Sims of Glencarlyn. a promi-
nent party leader and manager Of the Kolb
campaign, said tonight: The result of the
convention today is practically final, as the
county Is largely republican on local is-
sues. Recognising this fact. the democrats
Will hold no convention during the present
campaign, but will rely upon the possi-
bility, now remote, of a break ins our lines
