The Writing of History.

General Boynton, in his recent criticism
of certain histories of the civil war which
are used as text books in the schools, point
ed out the necessity of a careful study of
all obtainable reliable data bearing that
great drama, and showed that the neglect
of such sources of information by authors
had resulted in performances full of mac
curaces. His remarks were widely read
and much applauded and all the more so
for the reason that he spoke both as a
citizen and an ex-soldier who wanted the
actual facts brought out, and as an author
who knew the best processes of the pro-
fession.
And now from another distinguished
quarter comes evidence of the same view
with regard to such matters. General Lew
Wallace of Indiana adds to his claims to
consideration as author. diplomat and
statesman the claim of soldier. He served
with distinction through the civil war and
commanded a brigade at the battle Of
Shiloh. He is engaged in preparing his
autobiography, and has reached that period
of his career. He esteems that battle as
having been Of great Importance and he
desires to describe 1t and his part in it as
faithfully as possible And so 1t occurred
to him that a consultation with some of
the COMMEMORATE ledOefS WHO were present
would be of value; and remembering that
Generals Buckner and Basil Duke, and
others, lived in the neighboring state Of
Kentucky, and being personally acquainted
with them. he wrote notifying them of an
intended visit and asking their assistance
The story of the arrival of General Wal
lace In Louisville on this errand is interest
Ing. He had scarcely made himself COM
Portable in his hotel when General Duke
appeared. with all the papers and maps and
other documents he possessed, and put
them and himself entirely at General Wal
lace's service. The two former antagonists
now warm friends, then sat down together
and for several hours went over the story
OF the battle Of Shiloh. the one from the
federal viewpoint and the other from the
confederate, in all of the details they could
command Subsequently other ex-confed-
crate officers called. all anxious to contrib
ute what they could to General Wallace's
stock of information. and the day proved
one of value to the visitor and of unalloy ed
good feeling for everybody present
The result Of this, of course is certain to
be an unusually full and accurate account
OF that memorable engagement, when Grant
for the moment seemed on the eve of
eclipse. and when the confederates lost in
Albert Sidney Johnston the man Of whom
they were expecting as great things as of
Robert E. Lee. General Wallace Is a
writer Of fine powers, and his method of
collecting material as disclosed in this case
warrants the hope of another brilliant work
by him.

The Star prints today two articles upon
the subject of industrial and economic con-
ditions in Porto Rico which will bear close
comparative study. One of them. from the
pen of a native of the island, is rather pes
slmisttc In tone. representing that the peo-
pie of the island are in a serious plight
and are seeking to escape from their SUI
fering by emigration On the other hand.
Mr.. Charles NJ. Pepper. whom The Stars
readers know as careful, intelligent OBJ
server and analyst, takes an opposite view
of the emigration movement looking upon
1T as remedy for Ills which ante-date the
American occupation. MIR. Pepper indi-
Gates how slow the process of regenerating
and eleyating the Porto Ricans must be-
They are expecting. perhaps, too much
from the change in sovereignty. They need
to be taught many things. first of all how
to utilize the soil to the best advantage
for their own support instead of relying
upon artificial sources of food supply. The
labor market is overcrowded and in fact
the island is too densely populated for the
present development of the resources
Therefore, Mr.. Pepper concludes, the ex-
odus of some of the Inhabitants to other

The Deceased wife's Sister.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
The prospect is that the rule Of the
United Presbyterian Church forbidding
marriage with a deceased wife's sister will
be repealed by the approaching general
assembly of the church. OF all the pres
byteries that have taken action ON the
overture only five have voted to retain the
law as 1t now stands. The presbyteries
which still think that widower should
not be permitted to marry another woman
from the same family are those Of Butler
Mercer. Charters. Steubenville and Boston.
The yearly agitation of this question in
the British parliament has not yet resulted
in the legalizing Of such marriages in Great
Britain and Ireland. The utmost concession
that the advocates Of the change have been
able to obtain Is a recognition in the Brit
ish isles of the legality of such marriages
contracted in the colonies. where they are
legal. When King Edward was Prince OF
Wales he gave his support to several at
tempts to make valid marriage with a de-
ceased wife's sister. but even with the
royal countenance these attempts failed

central principle Of pursuing the Boer war
to the end Of making the two former re-
publics part Of the British colonial system
there Is apparently practically no division
OF sentiment on the part OF the coalition
supporting Lord Salisbury. AT the same
time 1t must be annoying to the ministerial
managers to find decreasing majoritles on
the collateral issues Of the session. The
dispatches indicate that the party whip
will Immediately be cracked in a manner
to ensure more regular attendance upon
the sessions and more faithful support of
the entire ministerial policy.

The British Ministry's Majority.

The sudden reduction Of the British gov
ernments majority in the house of COM
mons to SO should not be unreservedly &C
cepted as a sign of the disintegration of
the ministerial party. The question on
which the vote was taken was an unim-
portant one. There was nothing before the
house In any marked manner affecting the
broad ministerial policy. Had the govern
ment been defeated on the vote it would
not necessarily have followed that the min
istry would tender its resignation in token
OF the acceptance Of a reverse. There is
doubtless some lukewarmness on the part
of the more liberal ministerialists, who
have expected more definite progress in

Same Old story.
From the Spokane Spokesman Review.

The two bank officials who wrecked the
Vancouver bank and committed suicide
were victims of a passionate desire to
get rich quickly" 1t is a too common
falling in the United States, and suicide
Is not the only penalty. Even they who
succeed must pay a price. Sometimes 1t
is added worries. and often. alas, it is the
gradual breaking of old ties. the loss of
higher ambition, the hardening Of kind
hearts and loss Of faith in human ma
ture. Wealth Is not all Of life. nor even
the better part Of existence. So say the
sages of all lands and all ages.

Elninently Fitting.
From the Philadelphia North American.


The governor Of Colorado proposes to ap-
point two pretty young women as colonies

way commendable, and 1t is strange that
the eminent fitness of women for such mil
ftary positions has not been recognized be-
fore. The sole duty of colonel on a gov
ernors staff Is to wear gorgeous clothes,
do that much better than fat politician.

In these days of humbuggery and

no further.
In the face Of these absurd ella inns Ii
is refreshing TO note that the proprie-

carefully refrained from making any
undue claim or false representations
regarding the merits OF this most en-
cellent remedy for dyspepsia and stom-
ach troubles. They make but one
claim for 1t. that for indigestion and

go no farther than this and any man
