WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Armv and
Ndsv Aaelstsv. whidh fr . number Of years
has bsen IN ardent supporter Of Lieut..
Cen. Miles. win IN its issue Tomorrow
sditogially condemn CieO. Miless recent
report Of assoeiesss In ths Philippines. Tho
article follows;
The Judso Advocate General Of NE Army
has explained IN . communication to the
BScrstary Of War the valuolessness Of Lieut..
Gen. Miics'S comments on what sppenre 10 be
s e sss1 instances '''' 'o"'F and on'1''''''d
Some al the atrocities tn which Con- Miles
devotAs himself csnne 10 his notice In most
personal way. and the charges were neye-
backed up by promised written statements,
which appear 10 have been necessary In
repeating ofyicially such serious accus ations.
u seems 10 us that Gen. Miles has not con.
tributed In any degree to the glory Of the
Army By making report Of this kind. and n
strikes 10 that he has gone out Of the way
In q merely verbal ding which invites the
suspicion Of persuasion and coercion" By
army ofncers Of witnesses valuable to Ilent-
Gen. Miles 40 giving support 10 The sensa-
tional and indefinite charges he has mads.
As the Judge Advocate General says. the
instances set forth In the Miles report
have been made the subject Of official In vo.t-
cation. The governmental auth critics have
done all within their power, apparently. TO
trace these charges to their source and 10
punish the culprits. II there are any.
We do not believe that Gen. Miles wishes
10 contribute 70 the ammu milton Of the critics
Of the army. or that he realized he WAS aitins
the cause OF the so-called snti-impayislists,
but the publicity which has attended his re-
port has that unfortunate effect. We hare
believed that Gen. Miles had Just tanse for
complaint on account Of some Injustice Of
which he has been the object during the
past few years. but hts warnest friends sAd
admirers, among whom the Re0tstsr would
class itself. must deeply deplore the state Of
mind and form Of expreaslon With which
the Leutepspt-Geners hos dealt With thie
subject.
Hiy report win only serve to renew an I'M
pleasSnt not TO say upseemly. discussion,
and Il IL 70 be regretted that Gen. &iss.
among the last acts Of brilliant ca1sar.
should have been betrayed into such a sx-
preston.

at the mouth OF the Mississippi. In their
tumultuous and fevefish response TO
LiNcoLN's call for soldiers To uphold the
unity Of tho Republic. the men Of the West
obcy4d not only tho promptinss OF On
ardent patriotism, but tho instinct Of
sclf-preservatIon For them 10 was
matter Of economic life or death that
the stars and Stripes should float over
the whole Mississippi Valley. from the
Grcat Lakes TO the Gulf OF Mexico Nor
can 1t be doubted that II LEE had con-
quered at Gettysburg ana tho cause OF
secession had been made triumphant, all
the States adjoining the Mississippi River
would soon have found themselves drawn
to the Confederacy by forces that they
could not have withstood.
Fortunate was IL for the Republic
that, In her hour Of danger, she had for
her pilot son OF the great West. LIN.
COLIN knew the value Of the Mississippi
as only Western man could know II,
and, from the outset Of the civil war. he
concentrated the boundless resources OF
the West upon tho recovery Of that great
waterway. Though we might be beaten
in Virginia, the southwark march OF
GRANT could net be stayed, and with
the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson
the Mississippi Valley was regained.
From that hour the Confederacy was
doomed.
We repeat that the most memorable
thing that can be said about the Louis
lana Purchase b that it twice saved the
Union.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1903-05-02
The Cnifying Effect of the Louisiana
Purchase.

The speakers at the dedication Of the
St. Louis Exposition dwelt with emphasis
upon the marvellous growth in popula-
ton and wealth of the vast territory
which we acquired from France on April
80, 1903. History records no other ex-
ample of such tremendous development
within the compass of a century. There
Is, however, another and an even more
momentous aspect in which the purchase
made by JEFFERSON should be consid-
cred. The transaction twice saved the
Union from disruption.
Had the mouth of the Mississippi River
remained / ii the hands Of Spain. to which
it had besn coded in 1888, or could it, after
it's enforced return to France, have been
retained by NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE. or,
what is more probable, had it passed
under British control, it would have been
next to impossible to prevent Kentucky
and the other American communities
established on the tributaries Of the great
waterway from parting company with
the States east of the Alleghanies. The
surplus products of those agricultural
communities were as rresistibly at
tracted to their one possible outlet, at
New Orleans, as is the needle by the mas
net. They might have declared their
Independence in order to conclude treaties
Power owning the mouth Of the Missis-
sippi; or, if their prosperity could be in
no other way attained, they might even
have consented to become French or
British subjects. From the viewpoint of
the economic interests, the inhabitants
Of Kentucky, Tennessee, and. the south
ern sections OF Ohio. Indiana and Illinois
had absolutely nothing in common with
the thirteen States bordering the Allan
tic. BY the law OF MISREPRESENTATION,
they were bound, in one way or another,
to gain access to the Gulf Of Mexico.
There is no doubt that THOMAS JEFFER-
SON, with q provision fully shared by
none of his contemporaries, recognized
the impossibility of keeping the trans
Allegheny communities faithful to the
Federal bond unless the United States
could gain possession of the mouth of the
Mississippi. To his far-seeing eye the
Louisiana Purchase gave us. not only an
empire, but an indestructible guaranty
of unity.
While the Mississippi River played a
great part in the consolidation of the
Republic hundred years ago, its unity
ing value was to be still more sgnally
attestd on the outbreak of the civil war
Had the innumerable railways that now
run east and west been at that time in
existence, and able to transport quickly
and cheaply the surplus products Of the
prairies to tho Atlantic seaboard, the in
habitants OF the Western and the North
western States would have had no ire
sistible incentive to oppose the Southern
Confederacy. As it was, their surplus
products had long found, and at that
time still found, through the Mississippi
and its tributaries, their principal, II not
their only. channels Of communication
with the sea. From their point Of view.
they seemed to be threatened with suflo-
cation by the establishment OF an alien,
