EaganF OundGuilty.

The Court Martial that tried General
Eaean, found him guilty of conduct
an officer and a gentleman" I"
Under the War Regulations the psnal-
ty will be dismissal from the service,
Several days before the finding of the
c ,urt was made, Hal Lsndon, who Is the
mouthpiece of Senator Hanna, said
Essan would get eff with a reprimsnd,
II he we're found guilty by the Court.
1t will be interesting to see if Mr.. Lsn-
don was authorized to make any such
statement. E,gan's ungentlemanly
conduct was as deliberate az anything
could be. 1t was prepared in advance
dictated to typewriter, and as cold
blooded a. anything could be. 1t wa
grossly insulting to his superior Office
and conducive to the demoraliz alton o
the army. He should therefore be dis
missed in disgrace.

"We never could see why the Ohio
Legislature spent its money on Howe's
History of Ohio, unless it was too weak
to resist abandonment and importantly.
There is sort of interest in the book,
but the vast bulk of it is no more than
ordinary newspaper literature. in fact,
much is mere drivel. There are 1000
pages in the two volumes. Any editor
could reduce the historic facts of the
work down to 200 pages. 1t is replete
with jokes, fancies, rural experiences
and personal obervations which the
state has no more right to pay for than
it has to pay for E ,op's Fables or Pill
grim's Progreese; not as much. What is
the secret Of the matter? A ring got the
plates; and persuaded the legislature to
use them as channel through which to
divert few Thousand dollars of hard
paid taxes into the pockets OF said ring
There is nothing more susceptible in the
world than a legislature. 1t is {
wonder no one has thought of selling
them q few bales of green goods. y
Ironton Register.
Hasn't the REGISTER got things littl'
mixed? If not, there were two Dromioe
For there was another book that rim
| attempted to foist on the State, but tn
scheme was exposed, and the plan t
have the State pay for it, came t
nsught. We refer to thel work entitle
"Ohio in the War;" the plates of whic
were bought for about $3.50, and whic
: certain company tried to sell to th
State for $15. 900, urging the thing upo
the Legislature as q plum to be throw
the old soldiers. An investigatio
showed that M. A. Hanna, Dan Rya
and other patriots, some of whom al
now dead, were the Company, and ths
the Grand Army Post wouldn't hay
got q volume of the works. Perhaps
was this scheme that the Register n
ters to. But this scheme was killed B
it's exposure.

The government is going to brevet 500
officers. The poor private can get no
brevet. The brevets ought to 60 with
the navy prizss.-Ironton Register.
There IL no greater fraud practiced
upon the people than this bestowing Of
"breves" titles. If it were not 90, we
would hear Of brevet Captains, Majors,
Colonels, etc. But it is always brevet
Brigadier Generals. They sre generally
borrowed as political favors and are gen-
orally undeserved. We know Of several
cases where they were bestowed upon
men who never went through q battle.
Their bestowal is an injustice to men
who were real heroes, and who nevs,
got their dues. With the Register w
believe that the bestowal of brevet title!
ought to be abolished with the giving o.
"prizes" in the navy.

If we make the Cubsns and Philip
pinos our enemies, and hold them In
suhjugation by force, our troops will be
swept away by thousands in the sickly
season, and the cost of our army and
pensions will be greater than that oi
any nation on the globe. Our army
could not be shipped home, as it war
from Santiago, when the sickly season
came on, but would have to remain, and
would be worse than decimated by
tropical diseases. II we treat the peo
pie of Cuba and the Philippines al

and keep our army at home. These are
facts for the people to think over.

What We Ear

Is intended to nourish and sustain us, but it
must be digested and asslmilated before it
can do this. In other words, the nourish-
ment contained in food must be separated
by the digestive organs from the waste ma
terials and must be carried by the blood to all
parts of the body. We believe the reason for
the great benefit which so many people
derive from Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the
fact that this medicine gives good dges
ton and makes pure, rich blood
1t restores the functions of those organs
which convert food into nourishment thai
gives strength to nerves and muscles. Il
also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt rheum
boils, sores, pimp'es aud eruptions, C,
tarrh, rheumatism and all diseases tina
have their origin in impure blood. 1-1O1n
