PUNISHMENT IN THE ARMY.
Charges ON which the "~sauealing" Cor

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: II Tar
Sun Of November Il a correspondent who
formerly served In the Fourth Cavalry relates
what purports TO be the kind OF pu ishmen
inflicted on soldiers in the army for inform
ing upon their comrades who hAve violated
the laws OF the land. In comparing the way
in which the coIored soldiers at Brownsville
stood together to shield the guilty with the
way the men OF the Fourth Cavalry acted in
a somewhat similar AFFAIR at Walla Walla,
Wash. in 1891. he says:
Now for the fellow who sought appreciation and
reward. A non com. OF ID troop offered TO squeal
n discharged. lie was arrested. clapped into the
guard house. tried and sent to Alcatraz Island for
seven years. His name was Arnold. FAteful
name. Compare the two results and then hail to
the officers OF the Fourth for their action. and
shame on the other.
The official record Of the trial Of Corporal
Clarence Arnold, Troop ID. Fourth Cavalry,
on file in Washington. shows that he was tried
and found guilty

OF knowingly permitting ca rbines to be taken
from the racks while he was the non commissioned

were taken with intent TO kill a prisoner in custody
Of the Sheriff.
He was sentenced 20 eight years confne-
ment. IL was not therefore for Offering to

Although the date fixed for the meet
ing Of the mex Duma is more than three
months distant. the convention held on
November II at st. Petersburg by the
Octobrists, in which 5000 persons are
reported To have taken part. bears
witness TO the activity with which the
political campaign is being prosecuted
on the part Of the Stolypin Government.
Activity is one thing, success another.
IL Is indeed unlikely that any avowed
revolutionists will be elected 10 the ma
tional assembly. but the Constitutional
Democrats and the Social Democrats
are still hopeful Of returning between
them a majority, and the best informed
observers believe that the hope will be
fulfilled. No definite opinion can be
formed, however, until the outcome Of
the effort to persuade the peasantry TO
return conservative instead Of radical
Representatives is made known.
The programme OF the Octobrists was
outlined on Sunday by their leader,
Mr.. A. J. GUCHKoFF. The party is
determined, he said, 10 uphold the
rionarchical principle, while at the same
time advocating progressive and demo-
cratic solutions OF the agrarian, labor and
educational problems, Although in the
cabled report Of his speech we find no
references Z o Ministerial accountability.

The Chicago Tribune ponders the vote

Of any consequence
A separate Socialist party is futile and
superfiuous in the United States at present.
No doubt about that. There IL no reason
and no excuse for such a party. The
Republicans and the Democrats are out
bawling and outbidding each other in
socialistic proposals.. Almost without notice
and without protest the Federal Government
regulates private business, increases the
central activity and reduces individual
initiative. The cry Of municipal owner
ship Of public utilities is a part Of the great
movement for collective production and

this politician. Government railroads, says

Hard Duty or q Good Citizen.

To the EDITOR or TIE SrN-Sir: De Witt
Van Buren, loses sight OF the main point in
discussing the fate OF the negro members Of
the Twenty-ffth Infantry. that it is the duty
OF all good citizens, be they soldiers. sailors
or clerks. TO assist in the detection Of all la W

otherwise.
This being true. IL there is any member OF
the three companies who knows any Of the
culprits, and who does not assist in bringing
them to trial. he IL not a good citizen. and
therefore cannot be a good soldier.

New Jersey Court In spauIding's Favor.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l9.-The Supreme
Court to-day affirmed the judgment of the
New Jersey Court Of Errors and Appeals in
issuing a writ Of assistance TO give possession
to Albert G. S~paulding, the purchaser under
foreclosure Of mortgage Of sixty acres OF
valuable land or Rumson road, near Sea-
bright, which belonged to David Lamar OF
New York city. The property was in pos
session OF Smith, Lamar's br~other-in-taw.
as lessee, and Lamar claimed that as Smith
was not q party to the suit the court had
no Jurisdiction TO Dust him by writ OF pos
session and that It was in effect q taking OF
property without Tue process of law.
The New Jersey court, however, held that
Smiths rights as lessee were s~ubservient TO
those OF S~paulding as purchaser under the
foreclosure. This judgment was to-day
affirmed by the Supreme Court and termi-
mates a three years legal battle which coun-
sci for Spaulding compares TO Dickens

SEVERE DROUTH
CAUSING DAMAGE
Unless a Timely Rain Comes
Many Crops Will Be Ma
teriaIIy Injured.
DUST IS THICK ON ROADS
OATS MAY YIELD BUT HALF A
CROP IF DRY SPELL CONTiN-
UES-WHEAT OUTLOOK is EN-.
COURAGING.

The severe drouth of the past two
weeks is wreaking destruction in the
fields of growing grains and grasses
and unless there is a timely rain,
within the next few days, the crops of
nearly every green farm product, with
the exception of wheat, will be mate
rally damaged. Oats and timothy
are suffering most on account of the
lack of watr, but spring rye, and bar
ley, alfalfa pastures and corn are
suffering to a great extent, also.
A ride through the rural district
shows how plainly the lack of water
and the hot sun have combined to
blight the crops which were green and
bright two weeks ago. The dust on
country roads lies thick and is blown
upon the parched fields adding dry
ness to their already poor condition.
Unless there is rain soon, there will
not be more than a half crop of oats,
and timothy will suffer about the
same loss. Corn that is sprouted is
doing well, but the corn that is still
in the ground does not find moisture
enough to terminate. The wheat
outlook, however, is very encouraging.
W Leaf will not be harmed unless the
drouth continues several days longer.
