THE NEW COPPER HEAD ISM.
Urmiirrn I* Arc Trying to Crrnlr Po
litical Clip it a I Out of War's
M Isfort ii ii I'M.
Sinister methods are clearly at work
to raise a great hue and cry. for po
litical purposes, about the oliieialcare
bestowed upon the army. This is a
tender point with the people. Every
good citizen, in office or out. of it. is in
tensely anxious that American sol
diers and sailors should have the very
best treatment and every available
comfort. War at best, is a eonditon of
hardships and suffering, or at least
such in the past has been its universal
history. Hut Americans seek to miti
gate its privations to the greatest pos
sible extent. They rightly demand that
any neglect of our valiant representa
tives shall be dealt with severely. Upon
this point all are agreed. No Ameri
can worthy of the name would look
with indifference under any circum
stances upon a defender of our coun
try. Strong fueling in his behalf is
general and praiseworthy. But there
is in the democratic papers at this
time a ptimped-np clamor on this sub
ject that illustrates exactly how the
livery of Heaven may be stolen to serve
the devil in. These newspaper organs
are not interested in the soldiers nor
tiie army as they pretend. Their real
purpose is to howl in a democratic
congress next November. The game
has reached the disgraceful stage,and
the people should at once show that
they understand its true design.
When was it that tlie democratic
party ever showed a disposition to do
anything for the army of the United
States? Its members of congress iiave
invariably voted to cripple and dwarf
the army and to open a fire in its rear,
especially when it met with reverses.
The only anxiety ever expressed by
democrats as to the army was to keep
its numbers and resources down to the
most insignificant figures. When tlie
recent war drew near the army num
bered 27,000 men. Did any democratic
congressman ever suggest that it
should be enlarged or its medical and
commissary departments strength
ened? Not a bit of it. The records
tell the story of Inveterate democratic
opposition to doing anything for the
army. Our little body of regulars,
■ mail as it is. has been looked upon by
the democratic party as a threat
against political liberty, and every
proposition to add to its efficiency has
met with bitter democratic antago
nism. Six* months ago democrats were
vot ing to plunge this count ry into war,
and yet would have voted on the same
day against any increase whatever of
the medical or other staff depart ments.
Such hypocrisy is disgusting. The
war in its army and navy operations
lias been an extraordinary success.
Not a word can be urged against the
results achieved. The copperhead
venom accordingly is concentrated in
exaggerations about the care of the
troops. When an army of 27.000 men
is suddenly expanded tenfold there is
necessarily a good deal of inexperi
ence where experience would be bet
ter. Transporting an army by ship in
summer from a temperate to a trop
ical climate is a tremendously difficult
undertaking, and the marvel is that
our great success was riot attended by
heavier losses. Sickness in war is in
evitable. The 1;:ss of the union army
from disease alone in the civil war was
100.720. or far more than the loss from
battles, prisons and accidents. In the
Crimea ten Bri'isli soldiers died from
disease to one who fell from bullets.
In our war with Spain extraordinary
efforts have been made to remove the
soldiers to healthful camps, to fur
lough the sick and to relieve their ne
cessities. These endeavors will be con
tinued. tio matter what the cost. Yet
thfc »act remains that war is no hoii

Honor for McKinley,
When every gate for peace had been
■losed President McKinley firmly set'
his face for war. He has steadily re
fused to permit the conflict to be
■hanged from a war for liberty and
iiimanity into a war for revenge and
territorial seizure. He has been so
magnanimous as to win the applause
jf our enemies and facilitate the coni
ng of peace, lie has softened the as
perities of competing ambitions, and
>iven harmony and unity to our army
ind navy. And he has done it all with
the modest dignity that is the mark of
native greatness. This will be his
ory's acknowledgment, as it is that of
'lis grateful fellow countrymen. Chief
itnong the honors of the new peac."*
ire his own, and the man and president
vhose deportment has been sufficient

Will Cliurj£€»n.
President McKinley says that all
;harges of mismanagement and neglect
it army camps will be thoroughly in
•estigated, and if there are guilty par
ies they will be punished. The presi
lent is certainly not a man to tolerate
such an offense, nor is he a man to pun
sh without investigation. That there
lave been some cases of inefficiency
:n the care of 200.000 men suddenly
summoned to the field is not to tie
lounted. They are exceptional, and jet j
lot to be excused. The business of j
sifting charges of neglect is one of i
stern but impartial justice. The ]
iharges must lie specific, no rumors set [

Dcfcn t.
A few days ago the Sun published a
■ i very able and interesting letter iji fa
-1 ; vor of tlie policy of expansion, written
i ; by Capt. Camm Patterson, a Virginia
' | democrat of great distinction and in
• | tluence in his state and his party. One
• | part of his Utter we reprint as a warn
i ing given by a democrat of the stout
■ | est silver sect to democratic leaders
j who oppose themselves to the irresist
j ible flood of public sentiment us well
as to the historical policy of the dem
! ocratic party in regard to annexation:
"Neither beautiful rhetoric nor the most
j skilful political manipulation, though ai l
ed by the unsurpassed advantages of the
j Virginia Walton hw, can save from the
j doom which awaits them the office hold
| ers who oppose the policy of annexation.
| The men who attempt to stem this mighty
torrent will be swept away by the resist
less force of publ'c opinion. They will Join
Sterling Morton, William I>. Wilson, Vilas
and Don M. Dickinson; together they will
form what may be properly termed the
ilotsam and Jetsam of the Cleveland ad
ministration, and w'.ll quietly float away
into oblivion. Upon their wrecks will
spring up a new democratic party, which
will prove to the world that the spirit of
true liberty still lingers among us, and tl.e
memory and the deeds of an illustrious an
cestry have not been forgotten."
Col. William .7. Bryan is the princi
pal offender who needs to profit by tlfis
admonition. His pragmatical little
friend, llailey, lias already shrunk from
the size of a national leader of the
national democracy to the size of the
sulky darling of one congresssional dis
trict. Hryan will be reduced in the
same way if he persists in the same de
fiance of public sentiment. The me
chanical praise of slate conventions
will not save hirn. If lie remains an
anti-expansionist, and his party by ap
proving him shows its intention to re
sist the course of events, opposing the
annexation of the Philippines, as it op
posed the annexation of Hawaii, Bry
anism will become as hopeless a dere
lict as Clevelandism. —X. Y. Sun.
THE COMING CAMPAIGN.
New IMNII«*M <>rouiiitf Out OF tla «* War
Will < route Divisions in the
Ue niocrac)'.
Interest in politics is reviving over
the country, and to all appearance we
are going to have an interesting cam
paign, though it may prove more in
teresting to the party which supports
President McKinley than any other.
It looks us though issues growing
out of the war will figure prominently,
and as our democratic friends are
somewhat divided a.t present on those
questions, while there is little division
of opinion among republicans as to
what should be done concerning war
issues, this may constitute the ques
tion of th" campaign.
The democrats may be divided on
matters of great and lasting concern —
such its whether we shall add to our
territory, but they propose to makct p
"red-hot" for the republican party for
its unpardonable and lawless perform
ance in issuing iionds to carry on the
Avar. That was to be expected, for the
democratic party always was opposed
to wars managed by the republican,
party.
The democratic party is not exactly
clear as to what it would have done, if
it had been in power, in order to ob
tain money to carry on the war. Being
under th - ; leadership of astute states
men like Mr. llailey, of Texas, it op
poses the war revenue bill and the
bond issue simply because these meas
ures were fathered by the republican
party, and therefore they necessarily
must "bear more against the poor
than against the rich."
What triviality! But then the peo
ple under modern democratic condi
tions are getting used to that kind of
thing!— Albany Journal.

LEADING CHARACTERS IN THE DREYFUS SCANDAL.
No other event In the history of the year has caused as much International ex
citement as the latest development of this cause eelebre, which ended in the sui
cide of Col. Henry, a French officer high in the esteem of the war office, who, pri.n
to his death, confessed that the letters on strength of which Capt. Dreyfus was de
graded and expatriated were manufactured by him "to save the honor of the French
army." Other actors in this despicable drama ;m- expected to destroy themselves

Cohoes. V.. Sept. C.—All appalling
disaster occurred in this city lust
night. Shortly before s o'clock a trol
ley of t IK- Troy City Ilailroad Co. was
struck by an express train on the
Delaware «.V Hudson railroad al a
crossing at the west end of the Hud
son river bridge which connects this
city with l.ansingburg, and its load of
human freight was hurled into the air.
fifteen of the passengers are dead
and 10 of the remainder will div. The
cars entering the city front l.ansing
burg were crowded with passengers
returning from a I.abor day picnic itt
Kens.-a lucr park, a pleasure resort
near Troy. Car No. P.l'i of the Troy-
City railroad was the victim of the
disaster. It came over the bridge with
a merry party of people fresh from the
enjoyment of the day.
Four tracks of the Delaware <£' Hud
son road, which runs north and south
iit this point, cross the two tracks of
the trolley road.
It was the hour when the uight
boat special, a train which runs south
and connects with the New York City
boat at Mbany. was due to pass that
point.
The tracks of the street line run
at a grade from the bridge to the point
where the disaster took place.
The motor car was struck in the
center by the engine of the train,
which was going at a high rate of
speed. The accident came without the
slightest warning. The car was upon
tin' tracks before the train loomed
in sight and no power on earth could
have saved it. The motorniati evident
ly saw the train approaching as he
reached the Iraek. and opened his con
troller, Irtit in vain. With a crash that
was heard for blocks the engine struck
into the lighter vehicle. The effect was
horrible. The motorcar parted in two,
both sections being hurled into the air
in splinters. The mass of humanity
on the car was torn and mangled.
Those in the front of the car met with
the worst fate. Every man in that
section of the car was killed.
The scene was horrible, l'odics were
hurled into the air and their headless
and limbless trunks were found in
some cases •"') feet from the crossing.
The pilot of the engine was smashed
and amid its wreckage were the maim
ed corpses of two women. The passen
gers on the train suffered no injury in
addition to a violent shock.

iu excursionists from i very direction
and the local posts arc kept busy in
escorting the visitors to their quarters.
Although Camp Sherman was not ded
icated till Monday, it u.is partially oc
cupied by veterans Sunday night. The
reports of the railways indicate over
IMIO.OOO tickets sold. I'cport*- indicate
a greater influx the next two days
than was ever known before at these
encampments. The festivities of the
week opened when the naval veterans
formed at ii a. m.to escort liear Ad
miral Kelley from the depot.
When the visiting naval veterans
were escorted to Horticultural hall in
the exposition building tiny rebelled
against the arrangements. They ac
knowledged that the cots and every
thing were better than usual on sue i
ncmisions. but they wanted quarters
in a boat and nowhere else. They have
had boats at other places and claim
they w< re promised a boat here.
Commander-in-Chief (iobin and staff
visited Camp Sherman iu the after
noon when the camp was formally
turned over to him. This camp has a
capacity of over !.",.ono in its tents and
ample provisions for meals. The offi
cial salute was ('red upon the arrival
of the commander-in-chief, after
which the bands rendered concerts.
The ladies are very largely repre
sented at the present encampment and
there is the usual rivalry between the
ladies of the <i. A. 1!. and the W. li. C.
The camp fire of the unvai veterans,

Cincinnati. Sept. 7.—The second day
of the annual encampment of the <!. A.
li. was a banner day. The weather was
delightful. The naval parade was
under clear skies and nature promises
to smile on the old veterans in line to
day. As the veterans were marching
i.n the naval parade it was noticed that
most of them arc gray, many of them
infirm and lame. The other features
of the day were the regimental, bri
gade and other reunions.
A realistic representation of the
battle of Manila was given at the
lagoon, a pleasure resort on the Ken
tucky side of the Ohio river. It was an
ingenious arrangement of fireworks
and water crafts, by which the thun
der of Dewey's guns was followed by
the burning of Montejo's ships. This
was the treat by the Naval Veterans'
associat ion.
The camp fire at Music hall last
night was attended by over 8,000 peo
ple. The opening part was the Cath
