Mr.. Stead then asserts that "ths war
was undertaken to conceal the truth and
to whitewash the colonial secretary"
and he appeals to the Huuse to insist up
on the production Of the correspondence

Gen. Wheeler Coming Home.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
The practical ending of the war
in Luzon has left General Wheeler
free to resign his military COM
mand and commission, and return
to his duties in Congress. He was
kept by regular army jealousy out
of an active command in the Phil
ippines, but in congress he will
find no Otis and no opposition Of
a personal nature. He is popular
in the house Of representatives,
and he car accomplish there
much more for his district than a
new man could hope to do.
A question will be raised in
congress as to his right to a seat.
Each house is a judge of it's own
members, and the house and the
house alone is competent to de-
eide the question. Any attempt
on the part Of the governor of the
State to forestall the question
would result in GeneralWheeler's
reelection, and put the people of
the district to considerable trouble
and expense. It will be early
enough to call a special election
when the house rejects General
Wheeler.
The little general has inter
mingled military and congression-
al duties to a very considerable
extent, but an attempt to apply g
strict construction Of constitu-
tional law to his case will result
in a failure, because public senti-
lment is in his favor, and the
