It's Almost Up to MIR. Mckinley.
There is no question, whatever,
that the Court of Inquiry will rem
der verdict substantiating all OF
Gen. Miles "embalmed" beef
charges and thus completely exon
crate that honorable, brave and con-
scientious officer, who was really on
trial, Although the administration
did not have the courage 10 openly
order him to trial, if he had failed
to prove his charges to the last
point, it is safe to say Gen. Miles
would have been dismissed sum-
mariIy from the army. He would
have been given no six years vaca-
ton with full pay such as the Sec
ond Term Syndicate's pet, Eagan,
received; no, indeed; he would have
been kicked out without considera-
ton, SO bitter against him is the
administration, whose political
schemes he has thwarted.
What is wanted now is for the
Court to definitely fix the RESPONSE
bility for the long series of infamous
outrages perpotrated upon the de-
Tenders of the nation throughout
the Cuban, Santiago and Porto
Rican campaigns.
Personal responsibility is de-
manded by the American people.
Let the guilty person be made 10
come forth from the mass of war
department red tape that has hith-
erto concealed him and stand be-
fore the people.
Then it will be up to the Presi-
dent to mete out dose of justice

STORIES OF a FEUD

Among the Soldiers Who We're
in Camp at Camp WetheriIl.
NEW York, March 28.-The SOL
diers of the Two Hundred and
Third New York, who have just
returned here, tell of the feud be-
tween its men, the Two Hundred
and First New York, Fourth New
Jersey, Fifth Massachusetts, and
the Second West Virginia, which
resulted in the killing of eight
West Virginians at Camp Wether-
ill. They say the trouble started
with uucomplimentary remarks be-
tween several of the boys, and the
various regiments took up the quar-
rel. The result of the feud was SO
serious that after the mustering
out guard was thrown about the
West Virginia regiment to prevent
further bloodshed.
Fifty-one Democrats, prominent
in Virginia politics, have issued an
address to their fellow-Democrats
of the State, appealing to the party
to unite with them in an effort to
secure the adoption of n oonstitu-
tional amendment for the election
of United States Senators by the
popular vote. They have called a
conference to be held at Richmond
May IL. This is a movement that
should be taken up by the Demo
Gratis of every State in the Union
and next year should be made a
part of the national Democratic
platform.

The Same old Gag.

The following is copied from the
Nation, a paper claiming much re-
liability on industrial and CONNER
DIAL conditions:
"There are unmistakable signs
of business improvement through
out the country. The cotton man
ufaoturers in city after city of New
England are restoring wages to the
point from which they were reduc-
ed year ago. A new scale has
just gone into effect in the coal
mines of the Birmingham, (Ala.)
district, which gives decided adj
vance in pay to about 10000 men.
An increase of ten per cent. in wa
GEES for 5000 employees of the
Pennsylvania Steel Co. was an
nounced last week, and the Mary
land Steel Company made SINH
lar advance, while notices of the
same sort come from the west.
"The action of the cotton manu-
facturers is based upon improve
ment Vim the market for cotton
goods, and the other advance of
pay upon the higher price of iron.
1neTo uEo no D0Jt0T ISSLS VI IlO
purchasing power of the country
than the markets for cotton goods
and iron, and an improvement in
both at the same time is develop
ment of the first importance"
"Nigger in the woodpile" again.
A presidential campaign is near at
hand and the laboring mon must
be fooled again, or they won't vote
the Republican ticket. Wages
were put down for effect and now
are put back, not up, for effect
again. If mans wages are 81, 80
per day and his employer puts
them down for a season 10 per
cent, and then for another season
puts them back to the original
price that is no advance in the
laborer's wages. If the wages
were made SLIGO or $1,75 per day
it would be an increase.
How long, oh, how long, will
men allow themselves to be made
fools of for their votes? Heaven
speed the day when the laboring
men will stop merely making their
x mark and get to reading, writ
ing, thinking, acting and doing,
instead of being tools for monopo-

Down in Sussex.

The Union Republican has the fol-
lowing to say in defence of Sussex
county:
''SOme of our Democratic cotempor-
aries seem to have an itching for mis-
representing the financial condition of
Sussex, and have succeeded in preiu-
dlclng the upper part of the State
against the Republican Levy COurtfor
Its supposed mismanagement of the
finances of our county.
"The people of the county know
where to lay the blame. For forty
years hardly without interruption the
Democrats have had the whole control
OF our county. In 1890, the Republi-
cans having come unexpectedly into
Othce for the first time in the history
OF the Republican party, found upon
investigation by an expert the loss of
over S13O, 200, of which the taxables
had been robbed. The public will rec
collect that several thousand dollars
worth of forged orders were stolen.
and afterwards repaid by the then
Clerk of the Peace. The balance has
never been accounted for. The pres
ent recently converted Democratic
party, mOuthing of purity, would like
this to be forgotten and to shift the
burden and the reproach of their own
acts upon those who are only the
unfortunate legatees of past service
of unparalleled fraud and corruption.
This can hardly succeed, and the won
der is that one should assume the eff
frOntery to attempt it.

Women nnd Their Cats.

Louis Vain. the famous cat painter,
processes to believe that a cat owned by
a woman is the mirror of its mistress
temperament He says that if a cat
that has been constantly with its mis-
tress is suddenly removed from her So
ciety the creature will show the char
acteristics madame has displayed. If
she has been snappish. pussy will
scratch; if she has been sulky, pussy
will sulk too If this were really true.
it would pay a prospective husband to
steal the cat of his ladylove before TAX
ing the fatal matrimonial step AS the
cat is about the most independent crea-
ture alive. one can't help being skep-
tical of Mr. Vain theory.
