WASHINGTON, Jan. 18Th, 1899.
Secretary Aiger is Offering as great
an Insult to the country, by protecting
Conmis'arS General Eagan, AS Eagsn
offered 10 Gen. Miles, by his black
guardi=m in calling him numerous
kinds Of liar, in his testimony before
the War Investigators. Ii Alger thinks
that the people will allow this disgrace
full affair to eud with Eagan's r.yision
OF his testimony, he will find himself
much mistaken. Eagan deserves pm

II i2au knew that the administration
had zone everything possible to humil-

popularity with the Alger crowd. In

nerve to say that McKinley's promise
Of protection to all witnesses made it
impossible to arrest him, and to come
forward with the revised testimony
Idea. Congress is fairly bubbling over,
but is waiting to see whether the ad-
mlnlstration intends to do the proper
thing; Gen. Miles is also patiently
waiting on the administration, and is
SAID to have some additional facts
about the bad beef furnished soldiers,
which may be made public later on.
Representative Berry, of Kentucky.
in speech on the Naval Bill, took oc-
casion TO administer some sharp and
deserved raps at the the Navy Depart
ment clique, which has SO persistentlv
ried to depriveiSchley OF the credi. dae

feet, III order that it might be given to
sampson. Mr.. Berry said: "There is
no doubt in the minds of the American
people who is entitled TO the credit
ol CnaI victory. But there are people
who are trying to steal away from
SSchley, the credit he won on the 3rd
day Of July, 1895"

THE question OF improving the
highways Of the country, is being dis
cusstd ana acted upon 10y most of the
states of the Union Inspectors are
being appointed, and general move
for better roads is felt all along the line.
Here ju our beautiful county, filled
with such splendid material for max
ing rods, our people are apparently
dead to all these up-to-date imp<,'c
ments. The farmers seem unable to
grasp the situation, they are unable to
get out of the old way of doing things,
in fact they do nothing and seem per
fectly ready and willing to plod over
the mud roads, which 10y united
action could Ice fixed with but little
cost tothis community. How to bring
about different result, is indeed a sri
GUS question. We have tried time after
tim to rouse our farmers to the i'm.
portance ofthiS great question, but alas,
there i, uo change, and so We 20 on in
the same old way, the winter passes in
loatiug at the country stores and bar
rooms and needed improvement, wait

In the Dutch army man must be
able to SWIM rs we'll as TO fight. Mere
over, if he is in the cavalry he must have
a horse which will take a river as easily
as hunter takes fence SwInHi,g
maneuvers are part Of the regular drlii
there. Collapsible canvas boats,
manned by few oarsmen, lead the
horses so that they do not attempt TO
land on stone quavs and other difficult
points. The men swim across with
their horses and on them. They do it
In swimming costume and in all the ac-
coutrements of war. There are few
nautical emergencies for which the
Dutch army is not prepared. Some OF
the officers have even reached de-
gree of proficiency that not only their
horses and kit cross the river with
them, but their pet dogs sit upon tLlir
shoulders and are borne over, almost
without wetting.

Nelson Dingley Dead.

The whole nation feels the death Of
Mr.. Nelson DiHgley, the distinguished
representative from Maine, which oc-
cured last week He had been sick for
sometime past from overwork and
nervous debility and not even the great
care u Il attention lavished upon him
by devoted relatives, could thwart the
power above The death of this great
mtn removes familiar and foremost
figure from tho halls of Congress and
the gaze of the public The dortrincs
which he prof Ssed and his political
affiliations were OPP osed vigorously by
those who differed with him, but at
the same time no one had more respect
shown him or better merited the con-
siipratiun and high esteem of all men
than Mr. Diugley. He was a true rep
rescntative of his people. lie had al
ways the courage Of his convictions
and it is indeed a pleasure to meet an
honorable evenly, who stoops to no
degrading means to an end, no matter
what be the provocatiou. Mr.. Ding
ley life was given up to the service of
his country and he was easily the lead
er of Republican thought and action
on the floor of the House. Mr.. Nc
kinley looked upon him as n valuable
aid in carrying out his policy in Con.
gress and he has been always one the
foremost men Of the times. 1t would
be better for the country if we had
more men of Mr. Ding'ey's nature,
without his political shortcomings, in
our national Legislature.

leans without an especial act of Con-
gr, ,as the Republican party made nee
es-ary, and to hurl at the giant walls of
Protection cannon loads of honest Amer
fcan votes that will tear down this evil
sys EN- and build up in its place one
that vii be the life blood of trade and
commerce and which will increase our
foreign business 80 that not only will
the Cd effect be seen in our merchant
marine service bat also in an increase
in custom receipts and a general slim
ulation 10 our internal manufacturing
enterprises.
