While in almost every county there
arc factional differences, it is seldom
the case that they are 50 serious as
tloie that prevail in Shenandoah coun-
ty al this time. The two parties are so
nearly equally divided that in county
elections, neither party is wholly sue
cesstul or wholly defeated. Tie re-
salt is generally decided by the ele-
m ,nts, independent of party fealty,
introduced into the contest.
In the democratic party the tsc-
tons are more distinctly outlined tan
in the republican. They have two
county chairmen and two county

EAGAN vs.. MILES.

When Gen. Eagan IN giving his tes-
timony before the Commission d.
nounced Gen. Miles as all kinds of a
liar, known to civilization, he was
certainly guilty of INSTRUMENTATION.
Some sympathy has been expressed
for Gen. Miles.
Such affairs always remind the
people of the United States of an in.
cident that occurred a short time after
the civil war Miles was a young
officer of the United States army. BY
the vicissitudes of war there was
placed IN his hands a distinguished
prisoner, a man in delicate physical
condition, but one whose fame had
reached the entire civilized world. 1t
was the man whO,at Buena Vista, led
the gallant Mi;sissipians to victory,
when all had given up the day AS lost,
and whose supreme courage and mil
itary skill added great glory to the
fag of his country; it was the man
whose eloquence in the United States
Senate had stirrel the souls of thou
sands and whose touching appeal had
drawn tears from the eyes Of the pat
riots of this country; it was the man
who had been chosen by as brave a
people as ever fought for liberty 10
be their leader and their beloved
president. Under such circumstances,
il might have been naturally supposed
that this young officer would have sp-
preached the grand old hero, with
uncovered head, AMI would have been
glad to extend such courtesies as were
extended TO Spanish prisoners at An
napolis. But alas, such noble instincts
did not manifest them elves. Not
withstanding the fact that this feeble,
Tut grand old hero, loved and honor
ed by millions, was confined in an
iron caseniate surrounded by soldiers,
this officer in order to humiliate
him,had irons rivetel upon his tender
limbs.
The man capable of an act Of that
kind vainly poses as an object Of
syn PATTY before an intelligent pco-
pie whose feelings he had so brutally
outraged.

WASHINGTON LETTE r.
prom our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. l6-Ges. Miles
has made many new friends BY the
digni6ed manner in which he has
carried himself while smsrting under
the dirty personal attack made upon
him by Commissary Gen. Eagan, in
his testimony before the War investi-
eating Commission. To a man of
Gen. Miles temperament, it has been
no easy matter to sit still and say
nothing while waiting for the War
Department to call down and punish
his subordinate for having called
him about every known sort ola liar.
Congress is also waiting to see some
thing done, some punishment meted
that will fit the crime, and if some.
thing isn't done, very soon, Congress
may take the bit in its teeth and do
something itself. The action ofPre'i-
dent Mckinley in compelling Gen.
Eagan, through Secretary Alger, to
revise his testimony and leave out the
objcctional language, isn't satisiac-
tory to anybody, because it doesn't
punish and humiliate Eagan sufficient
ly. Senators and Representatives
have very freely expressed the opin-
ion that Gen. Eagan has demonstrate
ed his unfitness to hold such an i'm
portant and responsible position, re-
eardless Of Gen. Miles, and not a few
of them have said that he should be
caShiered.
The routine business in House and
Senate is being pushed along as rapid
" as possible, but the chances for an
extra session, continue to grow, ow-
ing to the uncertainty about many
things in the senate, and especially
about the time that will b. consumed
by the treaty.
Two funerals were never held in
the Capitol so close together as that
Ex-senator Morrill,, held IN the Senate
Chamber a fortnight ago, and that of
X preventative Dingley, held in the
Holse of Representatives today.
Taos. who are superstitious enough
to believe that calamities usually trav-
ell in punches of three, are wondering
who will be the hext man OF promi-
hence to die.
A War Department official, in his
anxiety to strongly deny a report
about our soldiers at Manila being
discontented, made statement that
doesn't exactly gee with the official
announcement that the news from
Dewey and Otis is all good. He said
that far from being discontinued, all
the volunteers at Manila, who had
applied for discharge had Withdrawn
their applications, as soon as they saw
that there was q prospect for some
fighting. If there isa prospect OF
some fighting before Dewey and
Otis, somebody must have stretched
their consciences to say that all the
news from them was good. A pros
pect for fighting is certainly not to
be considered good news.

Our quiet community was startled by
the recent disappearance of A. j. Miller
every one thinking Jack was gone
and so he was -but only TO Hagerstown

bride of sweet sixteen. The circumstan-
ces are as follows: BY means OF ladder
and the help OF Mr.. nathan Miller. he
stole from an upper window OF Mr.. John
Helsley's residence his sixteen year Old
daughter, Miss Martha. Jack being over
come with JOY, Nathan started on the
run with the bride in his arms, dropping
his hat and OvercOat by the way and
reaching the waiting vehicle IN a very
delapidated condition. They reached
Edinburg, caught the train and were
soon flying towards Hagerstown. On
their return they were welcomed by the
community, fact manifest by the large
crowd OF "bellers' who cheered them
in an old fashioned way. We extend
coDgratulation to the happy pair and
wish them a long life OF unalloyed bliss.
Our community is on stir. Mr.. VIM

Ac ing Chairman Stone Urges Ken
lucky Democrats 10 Get Together
and Win.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August S.-Hon.
w. ]. Stone, of Missouri, acting chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee, has written a letter to Ma
tional Committeeman Urey Woodson.
of Kentucky, expressing the hope that
Kentucky Democrats will unite on the
ticket nominated at Louisville. Cover
nor Stone says:
1T is already clear to me that Ken
lucky Democrats should lay aside mere
personal consideration and strive to
elect the ticket nominated at Louis
vile. 1t must be remembered that it
often happens that the proceedings of
large bodies like the convention at
Louisville are characterized by more
or less disorder and seeming unfair
ness, especially when personal rivalry
becomes intense But after all it rare
ly happens that it becomes matter
of supreme Importance whether one
candidate or another for party honors
is successful. What the Democracy
of Kentucky, and Of the nation, is
most interested in, is success at the
polls. A loss of Kentucky, at this
time, would be a serious blow to the
party in the nation"
