WHY THE LOVE LETTERS WE'RE
 NOT ANSWERED.

The post office department has re- gently been stirred up in remarkable manner by a young woman 1n Iowa. She fabpens to have lover in one or the regiments now on duty in the Phll- ippine Islands. and recently made complaint of the inefficiency Of the pos tai service, directed to the postmaster general, and also to the member of con- gress from the district in which she lives. She was boiling with indigna- ton because she had written twenty four times to her lover in the Philip pines and had received no reply indeed she had not heard word from him since his departure on the troopship from San Francisco, and was confident that he had written her regularly, as he had promised to do, and that his let ters had either been destroyed or were Wing in some corner where they had been overlooked, or were lost on the way. or that he had been killed by the Filipinos and General Otis had neglect ed to report his death. She denounced the expansion policy of the adminlstra- tion, declared that it was cruel and wicked war, and demanded that her lover should be sent home at once.
 As the young lady's father is per- son of some prominence in political way. the congressman took up the mat ter with the post office department, and a cablegram was sent to the superin- tendent of the postal service in the Philippine Islands at the cost of three dollars a word, ordering an invest1ga- ton. N
 The report has just been received. The special agent to whom the case was assigned says that he found the girls lover without any difficulty, enjoying good health and an average state or happiness. He promptly admitted that he had received lot of letters from his sweetheart in Iowa-he could not remember whether the exact num- Der was twenty-three or twenty-four- but they had come in punches by every transport and had been duly delivered at the camp of his company. He also acknowledged with equal candor that he had not answered any of them because the weather was too hot, and he wasn't much of a writer anyhow. He liked to receive letters, but hated to answer them, and declared that he had told the girl so before he left home. Therefore, he did not see why she was making such a fuss about it. He would write her by the next mail and scold her for making an official matter of their love affair.
 A CODY of the report was sent to the member of congress, with the request that he forward it to the young lady, Washington Correspondence of the Chi cago Record. s..s..-.-

THERE ARE OTHERS.

The chief purpose of the Oregonian in it's article upon Major Watrous, U. s. A., in it's Sunday issue, was to quote him as an object-lesson in illustration of the way in which desirable staff places in the regular army are handed over, through political influence, not to worthy officers of the regular army, who twenty-five years or more ago en- dured the hardships of Indian warfare after graduating from the civil war, but to men from civil life who have a ''political pull" Major Watrous in his reply, does not charge the Oregonian with any false statement, but disposes of it's criticism that his appointment in June, 1898, was due purely to politic- al pull" and his reply to this is, There are others"
 Of course, there are others and that is the curse of the whole business, that .'there are others" The regular army is made bombproof and an asylum for aged and decayed politicians by their patrons To illustrate: Major Watrous says that he has been an editor for more than thirty years, which would bring him nearly up to the date of his appointment in June, 1898, as Paymas- ter, with the rank of Major-assumlng that he began to be an editor on his muster out, in 1865. At the end of thirty years editorship he asks for and obtains a majors rank in the regular army, thus securing an easy berth that leg1- timately belonged to an officer Of the regular army who had rendered thirty years of severe service from 1865 to 1898; was getting old and was entitled to an easy place, compared with man who had been a free and easy editor TOT thirty years and was still in such com mand of his faculties that he could reel off two columns from memory that were hitherto unknown to history.
 Now, to speak frankly, Major Wat rous for more than thirty years, by ms own statement, had had his free Whack at civil life, to make or break hlm- self, and yet at sixty years of age ne obtains a majors place in the regular army through political pull. which be- longs of right to some sterling veteran officer of the regular army who is not old enough to retire, who is not stal- wart enough to go on to the Philip mines and endure the climate ana hardship of active military life
 "Ther are others" indeed 1t is pity 1t is true General Eagan was one or those "others" who imposed himself up- on the army for life; and that IS the pleas of every euperannuated military scribbler who has life sit. - there are others" in this incident, the ore gonian has unmasked an abuse that cries aloud for reform. Political favor itism has no proper place 1n the army
