Army Horrors Still Continue.

Secretary of War Root is sur
rounding the war department with
as much secrecy as though the ma
ton was at war with a formidable
foreign power instead Of the Fill
pinos, but to THE UNION it looks
very much like this secrecy was
being directed toward keeping the
facts Of bung!ing mismanagement
from the public.
The latest example along this
line is the suppression of sting
ing report relative to the bringing
home of several hundred sick and
wounded soldiers on the hospital
transport Tartar. The transport
was fearfully overcrowded, with
the medical staff insufficient and
incompetent. These helpless suf-
fcrcrs lay for days without attcn-
tention, several of them dying in
filth and misery. AT the same
time the officers aboard the trans
port occupied spacious apartments
and enjoyed every luxury.
When questioned by the repre-
sentatives Of the press regarding
the deplorable affair Secretary
Root replied that 1t was none of
public's business. Perhaps, how
ever, the public may take a notion
to make such matters its bust
ness when it comes to voting next
year. There is positively no ex-
cuse for such barbaric treatment
Of our soldiers while in the service
Of government with unlimited
means and endless resources.

The vote in Ohio is beginning
to bear good fruit. A Washington
dispatch announces that IS Han
ma will retire from the manage
ment of the republican national
committee. Ills open defense of
trusts and his hostility to labor has
cost the republican party the labor
and farmer vote in Ohio, hence he
retires by request. With his re-
tlrement will disappear the NOV
ing spirit OF the most corrupt and
disteputable political machine ev-
er known in the political history
OF this country.

5000. 1t is by no means safe
state and the members
of that party realize it.
The UNION repeats its assertion
of last week to the effect that the
tide has turned against imperial
ism, militarisn, trust rule and the
gold standard. The masses move
slowly, but THEY MOVE. They are
not ready to adopt the i,nperialis-
tic policies of the monarchies of
Europe: they are not yet willing
to bear the yoke of a government
based on military force; they are
not vel ready to submit without
protest to the cX;ortion demanded
by illegal combinations of capital
made possible, fostered and pro-
tected by republican policies and
republican class legislation; they
are not ready to adopt a financial
policy dictated by England and
encouraged by the class Of men
who hold the almighty dollar
above the welfare of their country
men. The masses are not ready
for these things. They are coming
to realize what such policies mean.
In view Of the present situation
this is no time for the silver forces
to falter. There is nothing dis
couraging or disheartening in the
present trend of public sentiment.
Everything points to success IT
the great contest OF next Vca1
under the leadership of that match
less American, William Jennings
Bryan of Nebraska.

Pennsylvania's Ballot Box.

Pennsylvania's Ballot Box.
There has been much talk dur
ing past years, of ballot box "stuh-
ing" and tcrrorizing Of voters in
southern states "repeaters' in
democratic municipalities, says
the Omaha World. Herald. So ne
Of it may have been justified, but
however that may be, the present
fact looms up that nowhere and at
no time on the North American
continent has the sanctity OF the
ballot been SO ruthlessly violated
as in Philadelphia, the home Of
Matt Quay's administration-rccog-
nlzcd machine, last week.
In Philadelphia, under the Quay
regime, debauchcry of the ballot
has been systematic. In the Ian
guage OF the Philadelphia North
American, republican newspaper,
ga system of wholesale thicvery
has rendered futile the most earn
est efforts of conscientious citi-
zens."
But this year the climax was
reached. Not only were hundreds
and thousands of "repeaters" i'm,
ported from Washington and else
where, but they were organized
and led by federal office holders.
Thousands of other votes have
been cast on the basis of fictitious
persons and non-residents placed
on the assessors lists. TO insure
safety from arrest, employees of the
government were brought from
Washington and placed within the
polling booths as judges of cleo
ton. To these places the GRE
peaters were taken and voted, pro-
ceeding from one to another in
systematic order. The editor Of
the North American, who has
made a gallant fight for the purity
OF the ballot, had number Of ar
rests made. Among men caught
red-handed in the fraud were Lieut..
j. G. Rogers Of the capitol police
force, holding Office by the grace
of one William Mckinley. and
w. H. Cook, an employee Of the
postoffice department at Washing
ton. A vigorous prosecution is
promised. Of the matter the North
American says:
"These scoundrels are not the
low, common rogues that usually
render such service. They are
men ofintelligence and good ap.
pearance, all but one Of them hold
ing government positions. For
years like gang has been brought
regularly from the national capital
to Philadelphia by the machine,
whic h has its headquarters in the
senate chamber at Washington"
Is it any wonder that Pennsyl-
vaniais "reliably republican" when
tae officials Of the national admin
istration participate in such prac,
tees as these? Good citizens ev
erywhere will commend the stand
taken by the North American and
the republican business men Of
Philadelphia who are fighting the
debauchery Of the ballot.
