Object Lesson of Spanish War.

The reason why the president desires to
place young and progressive officer at
the head Of the ordnance bureau is, be-
cause of the experience he had when he
was colonel of the Rough Riders. Colonel
Roosevelt found that his men were
equipped with Springfield carbines, burn
ing black powder, an equipment as
archaic. as he expresed@it, as the man-at-
arms with blunderbuss. There were
Krag -Jorgensen carbines in government
! armories, but they were so enmeshed with
red tape that it would have required moth
| ing less than modern Alexander to unite
! the Gordian knot, and Colonel Roosevelt
with all of his energy and Vitality, was
unable to get those precious carbins out
of store. That experience Disguised Col
| onel Roosevelt with having old men at the
! head Of important bureaus, where militia
tive was more important than red tape
and traditions.

Saturated in Routine. :

1t has been the plan heretofore, when
the head Of a staff corps retires, to make
the senior colonel the new chief, with the
result that one elderly man saturated in
routine has succeeded smother elderly
man stepped in departmental details. the
president wanted a change in the sys-
ten, and fer that reason he ignored the
men who claimed, the place by
right of seniority and made
his selection from the younger officers
who appeared to pcs3as- the qualifications
that he deemed requisite. He had under
consideration the names of several of
these younger men and finally selected
Captain Crozier as being in all respects
the best man. Some OF the older senators
are opposed to the "young man. regime.
They think proper respect is not paid to
their gray hairs, and they are quite will
ing to remind the president Of the neces-
sity of respecting them.
In other words, the campaign for the
Introduction of the merit. system in the
army in the place Of the seniority sys-
tenn Is being fought all along the line.

CAMPAIGN TOO COSTLY


Now we can begin to understand the
scarcity of congressional candidates IN
the Second district Those who have
made the campaigns there the past
few wears have set too fast pace Tor
the ordinary man. Dave Grant hits X
off as a pace which will some day bring
the republicans of the district to de-
feat. He says the amount a candidate
must spend has been set at $4,000, ana
declares lit is lamentahle fact that
often the first inquiry made regarding
a suggested candidate is relative to
his ability to put up the cash. Sell
respecting men unable or unwilling
to supply big campaign fund. are no
more inclined to be candidates for con-
gress in this district than the same
kind of men are inclined to enter socie-
ty that is too expensive for their
means. or too shabby for their incli-
nations. If the state wants to KNOW
what makes the Second district re-
publicans shun a congressional nomin-
alton they will find the financial ques-
ton the real one. Too fast pace
has been set. Ten to twenty thous-
and dollars is too much money to eX
pect of congressional candidate
Those without the money might get
to grub stake them. but that
would be rather humiliating."

HIGH PRICED COAL.

GuaT 1StIlIS lleDllLliSdIi.J
There is a limit beyond which coal
prices can hardly go. The coal barons
and dealers hardly realize the extent
to which people can econC miZe in the
consumption of fuel even in the cold
est weather. 1t is so easy for the av
erage family to have one fire less or
to close up one or more rooms and
save the coal that would be necessary
to supply them with heat. When coal
is cheap people use it literally; when
it becomes dear they begin to use it
more sparingly and it is a question
whether they pay more in the aggre-
gate when coal is dear ulan they do
when it is cheap. Few people realize
on how little they can get along quite
comfortably, until they are compelled
to. 1t is the same way in the con-
sumption of food stuffs. In lean yeara
The people either eat less, or waste less
or they use substitute foods which are
cheaper. During the period. from
1898 to 1896 the consumption of wheat
per capita in this country actually fell;
off millions of bushels There is a
wonderful adaptability in the human
family, and this adaptability must al
ways be considered in the calcula tons

MUscATlNE's CANDIDATE.
[ Muscatine Journa


The spontaneity and unanimity with
which the county convention on Satur-
day last selected William Hoffman as
the candidate of this county for nomi
nation for congress is the best evidence
that can be presented of his fitness TO,
the place. Mr.. Hoffman has for many
years been regarded as one of the
strongest members of the Muscatine
bar and an able and effective public
speaker. His energy and perseverance
in whatever he undertakes are marked
characteristics. Mr.. Hoffman has en-
gagged in many fierce forensic contests
hut friend and foe will agree that his
opposition has been in the open field
ard with the full understanding that
the contest was to be waged till victory
rcrched on his banner or till every le-
Ultimate resource at his command WAS
exhausted. We have sometimes thought
Mr.. Hoffman could be classed with
General Zachary TAYLOR, of whom his
biographer said "he never knew when
he was whipped
We have faith to believe that the
republicans of a majority of the coun-
ties in this district will concede the
claim that Muscatine now makes tor
the congressional nomination, and that
as a result Mr.. Hoffman will be nomi-
mated and elected.
William Hoffman is a native of Ger
many, where he was born in the year
1875. During the same year he came to
The United States with his parents. who
settled at Philadelphia, whence they re-
moved,to Grandview. Iowa, in 1852. His
father was a blacksmith and Wheel
wright by trade.
He received an ordinary. common
school education in his early boyhood.
and. after the opening of the civil war
in 1862, being then IL years of age, he
enlisted in the Nineteenth regiment.
Iowa volunteer infantry with which he
served three years until honorably dis
charged in 1865 at the close of the war.
Ten months of this time We're spent in
the confederate prison at Tyler. Tex.
After his return from the war he pur-
sued q course of study in the collegiate
department of the State University ut

later he was graduated from the law

His wife, refined looking woman, was

reached Onawa she asked her husband
to take her back to the dining car and
get her something to eat, as she felt
tired and hungry and did not feel like
waiting until they reached Tama, their
destination. He replied that meals on
the train We're too expensive, and that
he would get her sandwich at Jewell
Junction. She demonstrated but with
out effect. This conversation was over
heard by passenger who occupied the
next seat.
A few minutes later the man strolled
back to the rear of the car. and, watch
ing his opportunity, slipped back thru
the sleeper and into the dining car
without being noticed by his wife. He
ordered a meal which cost him $1.15
