Officers and Men.

IN HE tone of the Colorado press
plainly indicates that there is
vast amount of bitter feeling
among the returned soldiers of that
state toward their officers This is to be
deeply regretted, but it is in no sense
peculiar or strange. The same thing
has been reported from other states,
and during the civil war the cases in
which a regiment returned from long
and arduous duty at the front, with
nothing of bitterness and heart burn
ings in the ranks, We're the exception
and not the rule.
In the peaceful security OF home life
we see nothing but the glamor and the
glory of war. We behold the presi-
dent of the United States waving the
stars and stripes aloft, and in tones
quivering with patriotic indignation de-
handing to know "who would haul
down that fiag?" and we get a very
different notion of war and military life
from what they actually are.
1t is the private soldier who has to
bear the brunt. He must stand the
lonely night watch, the greatest bur-
den of the toiling march; he is in the
front rank when the battle blazes along
the line; he performs all the fatigue
duty, including the most mental work
of the camp. The officers have the ad-
vantage in every conceivable way.
They have better food, better clothing,
better treatment when wounded or ill,
none of the ordinary drudgery of pri-
waite soldiers life, better pay and prac-
tically all the glory.
The privates are praised in a body,
but the officers are singled out by name
and by title, petted and glorified until
they scarcely know themselves. Invest
ed with a power and authority literally
unknown in private life, it is but ma
tural that in some cases they should
become dogmatic, arbitrary and even
tyrannical. AS military life necessarily
requires much strictness, many of the
soldiers grievances cannot, in fairness,
be laid up against the officers. At the
same time the conditions are such as
to admit of many abuses, and when the
complaints are general 1t is but fair to
suppose that they rest upon a good and
sufficient foundation. 's
We know nothing whatever of the
troubles in the Colorado regiment But
we do know that, barring accidents,
our own brave boys will be home again
rim a few days, and we hope that they
will come in the best of temper, with
officers and men in perfect accord, ready
to once more take up the duties of civil
life upon plane of exact equality, and
with no memories of injustice or wrong
ranking in the bosom of any man.

THE OHIO REPUBLICANS
ARE BADLY Ratified
c. A. Edwards in the Houston Post.

c. A. Edwards in the Houston Post.
Here's the situation in brief: 1t is the
general consensus of opinion here that
John R. Mclean will be elected governor
this fall. 1t was at first thought that his
nomination would ALLEVIATE so many demo-
Gratis of the Thurman school that 1t would
be an impossibility for him to be elected.
1t is now known that their fuss was only
a big blum. They could not deliver the goods
they claimed they could and all factions
OF the party have become mixed Kill
bourne and Mclean have kissed and made
up and that stops all the other rows.
thurman may pout a whole lot, but that
VIII not affect the vote for the demo-
cratic ticket. 1t really looks like Mclean
mad more than a fighting chance to win.
Ihere are many elements at work in his
behalf. The candidacy of Toledo Jones
VIII hurt the republicans more than it
VIII the democrats, and the fight inside
the republican party is still as bitter as it
ever was and is growing worse all the
time. The republicans have refused to
ask Senator Foraker to stump the state,
and that widens the breach between the
Foraker faction and the Hannaites. 1t
cannot be healed in this fight. The Nc
kisson people of Cleveland are sharpen
ing their knives for Hanna and Nash and
they will give Mclean good majority in
Cuyahoga county.
Mclean will carry Cincinnati by a big
majority, as he is personally very popu-
lar here. McLean's generosity will stand
him in good stead this campaign 1t will
bring him thousands of republican work
ingmen He has ever been their friend in
all their fights and has helped them when
ever they needed financial assistance.
When Mckinley was governor of Ohio
and Mark Hanna precipitated strike In
the Hooking Valley coal mines because he
wanted the miners to work an eight-foot
vein of coal for the same price as the
miners of Pennsylvania were working in
a l7-foot vein, Mclean showed his friend
ship for the miners in substantial man
ner. When Mckinley and Hanna were
sending bayonets and bullets to overawe
the striking miners and coerce them,

~ HE regular annual story of an
eagle suddenly swooping down
from a great height and carry
ing on a little child, is at hand. Some
years it is later in the season than 9TH
ers, but it never fails to put in an an
pearance before the season closes. This
year the scene is laid near Mansfield,
Conn. AS usual, he was an exception
ally big and powerful eagle, measuring
eight feet from tip to tip. He bounced
down upon the youngest of three little
children. He fastened his talons fiercely
into the baby's dress in the regula ton
manner, and prepared to rise in the
world.
AT this point the Connecticut story
plays a variation on the old familiar
air. 1t is the rule for the eagle to as
cend with the baby anywhere from 200
feet to a quarter of a mile, when the
father suddenly energies from the
woodshed and with Wiiliam-Tell accu-
racy shoots the winged monster through
the neck; while the mother, with out
stretched apron, deftly catches the fall

Winslow's soothing syrup. But in the
Mansfield, Conn, episode the two other
children caught and held onto the baby
and the eagle found the three of them
too much for his strength. A fierce bat
tie ensued in which the two larger chill
dren displayed great courage and STRAIT

We, are not sure that the Connecticut
story is any Improvement on it's pre-
decessors. The cast of characters is
somewhat larger. and the action is
spirited enough. but it is essentially
lowdown affair; it is disagreeably lack
ing in elevated thought and fancy. 1t
is to be hoped that the 1900 eagle-and-
baby yarn will return to the good, old,
time-honored plan and that there will
be no further attempts at radical de-
parture.

The Lost Is Found.

~ HERE must be something pecu-
larly alluring and seductive in
the Flathead mountains to lead
SO many good men astray. Two or
three years ago clergyman went out
hunting in this Flathead wilderness,
lost his way and persisted; and now
Chief Justice Brantly has had the mar
rowest of escapes, reaching the town
OF Libby sick famished and exhausted
after two days and two nights of I'M
certain wandering in the timber. But If
Judge Brantly lost his way and lost
flesh trying to find it, he never lost
heart. The limit of human endurance
under such horrifying circumstances
depends largely on a mans pluck and
Judge Brantly had plenty of that ar
ticle up his sleeve and elsewhere. That
he did not continue to travel in a circle
may, perhaps, be attributed to his ju-
dicial qualities of mind, his natural and
acquired tendency to go straight to the
point. No findings of the supreme
court in recent months have given such
universal satisfaction as Judge Brant-
ly's finding his way. He was a good
man gone wrong: and when the search
ing parties went looking for him in the
woods, they found him out.

ing into her brain close to the temple.
She fell back in her chair, gasping, dy-
ing. Shaw stood horror-stricken. In a
moment his mother, clad in her night
robe, appeared in the doorway arous ed
from her sleep by the report. The boy
told her that he had injured the old wo-
man accidentally. His mother did not
then know the seriousness of the
wound. Running into the front room
she opened the bureau drawer and
seized a roll of linen strips, intending to
use them to staunch the blood fast run
ming down her mothers face. Mean
while Shaw had discovered the serious
ness of the accident. He feared arrest.
Then, too, he was in a desperate plight
because of other entanglements. He
needed money. His mother must be ST.
fenced. He looked at the revolver in his
hand and at the doorway. Then stole
into the darkness of the next room
where he knew the only witness stood
bending over the bureau drawer A
second shot sounded. His mother fell
forward on her face--dead. At the sec
ond report Darnell came running in
upon the scene. Rapidly explaining the
situation to him, Shaw hurried him out
of the house, and Darnell vanished from
Camden. The facts are all known, but
Shaw. like Esterhazy, is exempt from
prosecution.

A PROTEST
Against the Chinese Exclusion Order of
General Otis.

Against the Chinese Exclusion Order of
General Otis.
Washington. Sept 1S.-The imperial
chinese government, through its min.
lister here, Now Wu Ting, has lodged
with the state department an emphatic
protest against the military order of
General Otis excluding Chinese from
the Philippines.
1t is understood that among the spe-
cific points of protests submitted by
the Chinese government Is one to the
erect that such an order is departure
from the announced purpose of the
president of the United States to main
tam the present status of affairs in the
philippines until congress has deter
mined a. permanent condition.
The military phases of the question
have been referred to Secretary Root.
OWING to his familiarity with interna-
tional law, he probably will consid er
the subject broadly, both in its interna-
tional as we'll as it's military aspect.
General Otis order was issued some
time ago without direction from WASH
ington and apparently as a military
necessity, although the Chinese protest
urges that there is no such military
necessity, but on the contrary that the
Chinese have rendered valuable mill
tary assistance.
1t is understood that the Chinese gov
eminent regards the outcome of this
protest with much apprehension. 1t is
pointed out that the Chinese have been
long established in the Philippines and
that a considerable branch of the In
dustry of the islands Is conducted by
them.

Guilty But Acquitted.

I F innocent people have been hanged
4 for murder, guilty people have been
tried and acquitted. "A remarkable
story comes from Camden, N. j., of
the confession of Eli Shaw, who was
| twice tried for the murder of his mother
and grandmother and finally acquitted
! thereof. The double murder occurred
| on the morning of October IL, 1897.
| Shaw was known to have been es-
! tranged from his mother for some time
I previous to her death. From his
grandmother he hoped to inherit val
| liable real estate. He was arrested on
| suspicion, but steadfastly maintained
| his innocence. His youth, his apparent
| grief, and the fact that he was en-
| gagged to be married to a charming
young girl, who offered to contribute
expense of the defense, all told largely
in his favor
The evidence against Shaw was mea-
ger, and his acauittal followed as a
matter of course. After he was free
man once more, he Tilted his sweet
heart and started on the pace that
ruins if it does not kill. The Camden
police recently received a mysterious
letter, which furnished them a clue to
the missing links in the evidence; and
although Shaw could not be tried a sec
ond time for a crime of which he had
been acquitted, two Philadelphia Times
reporters followed the trail and cor
nered Shaw so completely that at last
he broke down and confessed.
1t seems that early in the evening of
| the night of the murder, Shaw started
out in company with another young
! fellow. Eugene Darnell, with the inten-
| ton of seeing phases of fast life in
Camden. Shaw visited a certain house
where they spent much time and money,
| Then they found themselves short of
| cash. They returned to Shaws home in
search of more money. Shaw went up
| stairs. He found his mother in bed.
| His grandmother was sitting in her
room near the front window. He had
| revolver with him-a 32-caliber wea-
| pom. Shaw spoke TO his grandmother
| and told her he must have money. She
| refused him. Meanwhile Darnen. be-
| coming tired of waiting in the hall.
went up to Shaw's room on the third
| floor and lay down on the bed. He fell
asleep.
Shaw, desperate at his grandmother's
refusal to supply the money to continue
his spree, became exasperated and drew
his revolver. 1t was cooked and loaded.
| He f1ourished it in her face. The wea-
| pom exploded and sent a bullet crash

when they were starving and freezing to
death. John r. Mclean sent a train load
of provisions and shoes and warm cloth
ing to them. These miners will now re-
member this. At least. 1t is hoped SO.
During a very cold winter in Cincinnati
several years ago Mclean showed the
people how to bust a trust. The coal deal
ers got together and shot the price of
coal up more than 80 per cent. Mclean
ordered several train loads of coal and
proceeded to sell 1t at cost, and when the
man or woman was too poor to pay for
the coal his orders were to give it to them.
The coal combine was busted.
These things will all be remembered to
the credit of the man in this campaign.
1t is well known, also, that Mclean every
summer leaves orders with the ice men to
supply all the poor people of Cincinnati
with ice and II has been the salvation of
many poor children. If these people now
go back on their benefactor there is no
such thing as gratitude in the world.
Aside from all these things John r. Nc
Lean has just as much money as any of
them and will spend II as freely as the
most lavish. All these things combined
will go far toward having the effect
hoped for and looked for by the men who
nominated Mclean. Mclean is not the
kind of a democrat that good democrats
admire. He is not much of Bryan man,
and the platform that he is compelled to
stand on is not to his liking at all. He
wanted less silver and less Bryan In it,
but the people who made 1t forced him
to accept their way of thinking. Mclean
does not like Bryan because Bryan would
not accept him as a running mate in 90
He would do things to Bryan If he could,
but he realizes that he is powerless. He is
not therefore. an ideal democrat, but he
is the man for the present situation in
the state of Ohio. and the democrats here
probably realized it better than anybody
else Hence his nomination. If he is
elected it will put him in line for the
democratic nomination for vice president
in 1900. The republicans are badly ratified
over the situation in Ohio and they know
they are up against the hardest game
they ever tackled.

NO MERCY FOR THEM.
Soldiers Who Assaulted Filipino Women
Must Die.

Chicago, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Times-Herald from Washington says;
Privates Damphoffer and Conine, SEN
fenced to death by court martial for
assaultfng Filipino women, will not re-
ceiye any mercy at the hands of the
president. The sentence of the court
martial will be carried out as soon as
the proceedings and findings in the
two cases can be reviewed and approx
ed by him unless there should be some
irregularity about the proceedings.
1t is stated upon high authority that
the president had fully determined not
to interfere in the sentence of the
court. He reached this conclusion on
the receipt to-day of a message from
General Otis in answer to an inquiry
from the war department confirming
the newspaper reports of the crime
committed by these two men and the
sentence imposed by the court mar
tial.
General Otis further stated that he
would forward at once ell the papers in
the case for review by the war de-
partment as required by law and regu-
lations.
