A new gas has been discovered,
called xenon. It lb lepnitecl tn exist
"In minute quantities," which obvious
ly f polls Its usefulness for Dr. Swal
low. The President Acts.
The Intention of the president to ap
point a commlfc.slon of five members,
two mllltniy men not ollklally con
nected with the pictent adtntnisttntlnn
of the war department nnd thtee civil
ians elected from ,t number of men
who have won national distinction as
managers of private business entcr
pilhcs on n huso i-cule, tluco to be
Democrats In partlhan nlllllation, for
the purpose of conducting a thorough
examination of the system of manage
ment in ogue In the war department
before and Mnce the country assumed
a war footing Is announced by author
ity in a Washington dispatch to tho
Philadelphia Press. The two militaiy
men decided upon arc e-L!eutenant
Geneial Scliofleld, who has had ex
perience in military matters both as the
highest living commander of Ameii
can tioops and ns secretary of war:
nnd e-Mujor General John B. Gordon,
of Georgia, experienced as a command
ing ofllccr of the Confederate aimj
and later as a 1'nlted States senator,
The selections from civil life have not
yet been made.
In ordering thlslnvestigatlon the pies
Ident responds to a demand fiom pub
lic opinion which Is virtually unani
mous, and the plan which he has de
vised for satisfying the demand must
win Instant iccognltlon ns fair, just
and buslness-llke. It Is understood
that the president. In tho kindliness
of his generous disposition, does not
concur with public sentiment In plac
ing any mcasuio of blame for notor
ious shortcomings upon the ptcsent
tsecretnry of war. So bo It. On that
point a difference of opinion is not
incompatible with the fullest Investiga
tion of Alger's work, which need not
fear scrutiny If It has been governed
by Good Intentions and the requisite
amount of executive ability. While
the counliv would not forgive a pal
pable whitewash it would bo satisfied
to rest tho case .so far as Alger is
concerned befoie a tribunal of the
character just Indicated.
Apart, however, lnun any personal
features, tho necessity of n searching
inquiry Is apparent if thoie is to he an
Intelligent reorganization of our mili
tary machinery nnd methods, to pre
vent a recur tenco of past blunders.
There Is reason to believe that dur
ing tho next generation at least our ui
my will need to bo Tnuch larger than
it has been hitherto and tho Held of
its operations vastly moie extended.
This will correspondingly increase the
public's requirements of tho war de
partment nnd tender Impel atlvc im
provement in methods wherever it can
be made. The basis of cuch improve
ment cannot rest on general public
clamor but must have for foundation
exact location of weaknesses and ex
pert definition of tho steps needed to
strengthen them. This Is In no sciibe
a party question hut on tho contrary
one of vital patriotism.
In tho recent unpleasantness marks
manship nnd valor have not proved of
much importance except in few in
stances. It is the soldier with a stom
ach llko n stone-crusher who will live
to light or camp another day.
The Han tenure Patriot is not In
clined to credit The Tribune's asser
tion that the stato treasury has not
lost a dollar through defalcation since
It passed under Republican adminis
tration. It Indulges In u lot of general
ized Innuendo such us any paper could
fling out nt nny tlmo against any In
stitution, hut It points to no specillo
disproof of our assertion. And yet,
twice within sixteen years Pennsyl
vania has hart a Democratic tovernor
nnd a host of lianjteiB-on, only too
eager to eonylct the .Republican party
of mismanagement Jn the financial de-
partment could they only have got
the slightest chance. Wo renew our
assertion nnd challenge the Patriot to
disprove It.
Whllo swords nro being manufac
tured for tho heroes of tho late war,
Helen Gould, who contributed to the
extent of $127,000, not saying anything
about her own services, should be pres
ented with a hut-pin at least.
Time to Turn the Hose, On.
Tho Commonwealth, of Harrlsburg,
Dr. Swallow's paper, says:
We asked the Scrnntoii Tribune (Quay
or gun) whether It was proud of Its support
of Senator Quay In the light of his record
ns published by tho New York Voice, the
World, tho Times, tho Evening Post nnd
other reputable papers. Instead of an
swering this question It snys we "defend
tho courso of the New York Voice In
printing u maliciously scandalous libel on
Senator Quay." It errs, The New York
Voice Is not tho pn'ty tl.nt needs de
fense. The wa the case stands at pros
ent It Is Tho Tribune's client that needs
defense. These accusing papers have
made out their case. Such ncusatlons
under oath In a criminal couit would
mnku out u ptlm.i facie case and put 'ho
accused upon his defence. If he had no
defence It would put him to Jail. With
out nigumeiit It mnv be submitted that
a man under such charges without a de
fense Is not a lit man to hold public oftleo
or to lead a great party of respectable
men, to conduct the business of a com
monwealth or boss the politics of a nio-nl
and self-respecting state. We submit fur
ther tint he Is not the sort of a min that
a decent newspaper with any moral seme,
with the Hi st Instinct of honestv or tho
smallest claims to self respect can nfford
to ih iniplou We, wonder how a newspa
per that does can circulile among de
cent people In the estimation of the
Seranton Tribune it Is not nn offense to
slink. The offenpo lies In having u noc.
The offense of having a noso which
smells stinks that have no existence
in fact, nnd of having a mouth which
utters scandal nnd hears false witness
Is very gteat, Wc can conceive of no
menner iolo for n doctor of divinity
or for the editor who conducts n so
called "re-form" Journal than that of a
disseminator of malicious libels golnc;
Into prlvatf life nnd befouling the
fame of the living and the memory of
the dead with salacious untruths.
if the accusations lefened to above
are true, it Is the duty of those who
bring them to make them under oath
In a criminal coutt and bring the cul
prits to defense. The cause of Jus
tice does no'- end with meicly ccatter
Ing thorn broadcast In punt. Every
man Is entitled to bo considered inno
cent until proved guilty: hut under
the Swallow view nnv man who ha"
tho disposition to nke up tho filthy
gossip of tho gutter and spiead it be
fore tho public may fasten guilt upon
his victim until that victim proves his
own innocence. Vv e do not concur In
this view of the proprieties. We hold
that the doctor of divinity who sanc
tions tho wanton invasion of private
life and makes a business of peddling
back-door scandal is guilty of a worse
ti.injgrossior. of morals than is the
highwayman, the plcl-pocket or oven
the public thief.
Th" public acts and worJs of Senator
Quay or any other man in public life
aie legitimate subjects of public re
view, but when the case of profes
sional reform gets so dcspeiate that
It has to terd Its reverend sewer rats
scut lying in the slime of pilvate sus
picion to secuie the constituent odois
of a manufactured stench we think it
is about time to round up the charac-ter-dellleis
and turn the hose on.
Brigadier Genet nl Schwan, who has
returned from Poito Rico, gives that
Island an eloquent certificate of good
chatacter and sas that when Ameri
can troops on ganison duty there get
Into regular barracks there will be no
etia danger of disease. That will
probably depend upon who commands
them.
The Camp Hospital Problem.
The conflict of testimony ns to the
sanitary conditions at Camp Thomas
continues, but the pieponderance of
evidence is flat ngainst General Boyn
ton, upon whom the war department
tclles for Its vindication for the camp's
selection. A bonid of Investigation
appointed some time ngo by Major
General Breckinridge and consisting
of Biigadler Generals Itoc, Sanger and
Mattock, has tut tied In Its report and
that agrees thoroughly with tho earlier
report of Major Patkcr, who declared
tho camp unfit for further use and
bianded Its original selection as a mis
take. It Is inlet estlng In this connec
tion to re cull that General Boynton,
Its oilkial whlte-w usher, was the man
wh first urged Its selection upon tho
government. This fact gives us a clue
to the value of his testimony concern
ing tho camp's present condition.
AVe are not now, however, lonccined
so liniili with the general bltuutlon at
C'hickamaugua as with the view which
this board of inquiry takes of the prob
lem of teglmetitul vs. division hos
pitals, which, as our readeis will re
call, phivcd a piomincnt part at Camp
Alger under the reign of the redoubt
able Colonel Giiaid. On this subject
the board repot Is its belief that "had
tho regimental hospitals retained tho
organization they had on nt riving here,
In pjaco of being reduced to dispen
saries In order to provide for the di
vision hospitals, or had tho latter been
established on u suitable basis or made
Independent of the regiments for mod
lial ofllccrs, nuibes, attendants, etc.,
the sit It would huvo been mote ef
fectively cared for In tho early stages
of tho disease than they havo been,
tho number of sick could probably
have been reduced, and the geneial
sanitary condition of tho regiments
under fnr better and iloser supervis
ion. It has been dilllcult, If not Impos
sible, for the one medical ofllccr and
tho hospital steward on duty with euch
regiment to propctly examine the men
nt slik call, to euro for the sick In
quarters, and to look after the banl
tatlon of the tunu. as a icsult the
number of sick In quarters has in
creased bevond expectations, and in
many of tho regiments tho regimental
dispensaries have expanded Into hos
pitals with nearly a hundred eases of
measles with volunteer nurses and at
tendants nnd one medical olllccr. The
truth is that neither the regimental
dispensaries nor tho division hospitals
are equal to tho present emergency,
and the system appears to have brok
en down In a vain experiment; No one
familiar with the organization of mod
ern armies and their administration
will question tho Importance of the
division hospitals ns a provision for
tho sick nnd wounded, but In no nrmy
ato they malntnlncd nt the expense of
tho necessary regimental organization
and we bellevo that In attempting to
do so hero wo hnvo added largely to
the difficulties and obstacles In tho way
of proper sanitation."
That among the regular ofllccrs on
the rolls of the surgeon general's de
partment aro many devoted and unsel
fish surgeons whoso labors under tho
growing difficulties of wnr-maklng nnd
camp Infection have been of a nature
to entitle them to tho unbounded grati
tude of tho nation ennnot for nn In
stant be called In question: jet ns we
look back upon the executive blunders
that hove turned our brilliant nnd un
precedentetlly successful war with
Spain Into n national shame nnd scan
dal by reason of tho unnecessary
deaths nnd suffering caused among our
Incomparable soldiery we are Impressed
wilh the sad but certain fact that
nowhere has theio been such Inade
quate work and such Idiotic self-importance
ns In the medical depart
ment. The case of Glrartl Is the case
of the department In general: vanity
nnd adherence to set forms have
crushed tho life out of hundreds of
brave soldlets, the sacrifice of whom
could easily have been saved by tho
exercise of a little wholesome common
sense.
The public looks forward with de
light to a probing of this notoriously
mismanaged and disorganized branch
of the mllltnry service.
