La Fayette Day.
Theio Is an especial appropi lateness
at this time about the pioposcd ccl
ebiatlon tomorrow In the public
schools of the I'nltcd States of La Fa
yette day. In memory of the great
French patriot who was of such not
able assistance to the Founders of the
Ameilcan Republic. The fame of La
Fayette himself Is not In need of such
a commemoiation. It is indelibly es
tablished upon the pages of history.
Itut the Ameilcan people and moir
especially the Ameilcan youth need
themselves to study and to master the
lesson embodied In La Favette's ca
icer, not only because thev owe it to
lilm to feel giatcful for what he did
for them, but also because tecent cir
cumstances hac put this nation in an
attitude before othei nations which In
motive and spirit lecalls La Fayette's
woik and makes timely a levlval of In
terest In It. La Favette was a bentl
mcntallst who backed his love of fiee
dom with his fortune and his good
Mvend. The people who objected to
our ficelng Cuba would hae objected
to La Fayette and voted him a fan
atic or a ciank The people who be
lieve that we .should be true to the
pledge undci which we Intervened In
the Cuban struggle and who therefore
legard as imnioial the suggestion that
we hold Cuba as a spoil of war will
derle fiom La Fayette's career incen
tie and inspliatloii.
We cannot lose by studying the un
selfishness and the piactlcal human
iturlanlsm of this great son of France.
The tportlng edLoi's icvlevv of the
base ball enleiprises this year leads
like a funeral sermon.
National Issues Paramount.
"National Issues ate paramount this
Mai. It Is not mote possible to con-
duct a state election now without le
gard to national Issues than it was pos
sible to so conduct one In 1SG1 or 1S0.1.
As It was then, so It now Is, the in
terests of the nation as a whole are
of vital absorbing Intel est to each cit
izen. Then, as now, the Republican
party was forced to find new Issues,
to tonfiont new problems. Then, as
now. It was forced not to follow, but
to make nrecedents. In 1861 we had
to picserve the tepubllc for its great
destiny. u 1S98 we have to take a
long stride toward the accomplishment
of that destiny. The Republican par
ty, therefore, In its state platfotms,
docs well to relteiato the promises un
der which It wus possible to elect n
Republican piesldent; pledges which
made It possible to lestore prosperity
to our country and put the nation
wheie It is possible to work out the
glorious futuie which Is nuw before
a reunited nation. The Issues for hon
est money, for protection to American
Industry, for the upbuilding of a mer
chant marine adequate to carry the
commerce of the world and to form a
naval militia In times of war, are ns
vital this year as they were In the
great contest which was so success
fully fought In 1896. We must further
strengthen our navy and build up our
army, mj that they may be equal to
any demand made upon them to work
out our destiny. Hawaii and Porto
Rico are ours, and In the East and
West Indies the Inteiests of the na
tion shall be safeguarded. Republi
cans everywhere should uphold the ad
ministration of Piesldent McKlnley by
standing loyally by their party nominees."-
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.
From the tone of their speeches It Is
evident that Dr. Swallow and Mr.
Jenkn have at last discovered each
other.
One by ono the Idols aie falling. It
Is said thnt the celehrated silver stattto
of Ada RVmn, which was the chief
Montana exhibit at the world's fair, Is
not sliver nt nil but simply lead with
n silver akin. A Chicago tlrnt which
holds the- statue for debt cannot find
buycis at Jl.i'OO.
It Is evident Hint n Rood many life
lone Democrats will hesitate this fall
iihnut oastlnn: their ballots for the
ticket that Spain desires to pee elected.
Time for Reason to Rule.
It Is high time for the disaffected Re
publican voters In Pennsylvania to put
nslde feelings of personal dislike for
certain Republican leadcis und con
sider the political situation In this state
In the broad light of common sense.
Four years ago the Republican ticket
In Pennsylvania won at the polls by a
plurality closely approximating 210,000
votes; two yeais ago Its plurality ex
ceeded .100,000 votes. In each of thes"
years theie were Republicans of con
sldeiable number who entertained per
sonal dislike for ludlvldunl Republican
leaders w Ithln the state, w Ith cause no
greater now than then, but these Re
publicans suboidlnated their personal
antipathy to the larger Inteiests of
their paity, and we don't believe that
one of them has since legrcttcd It The
vote of four years ago put Into the gov
ernor's chair In the person of Daniel II.
Hastings an executive whose adminis
tration has been efficient, honorable
and progicsslve, and the ote for Mc
Klnley helped to elect a president now
jrcngnlzed univei sally as one of the
best that this country has ever had.
This year, when all the tumor und
ilamoi and nccusatlon which have been
maliciously Injected Into the canvass
is sifted down, no fact appeals which
lellects In any degieo upon the Repub
lican state ticket. The worst that has
been said against the nominee for gov
ernoi, Colonel Stone, is that he has
been filendb to Senatoi Qua , but so
had Hastings been and so had McKln
ley. It is not asserted that Stone Is
dishonest that he Is unprincipled, that
he lucks in ability or experience. On
the contiaiy, a long career in public
life, Into which he lifted himself by his
own Individual energy and gilt oer
the handicaps of poveit and limited
opportunity when a Miuth, has shown
William A Stone's fltiies for executive
trusts and has exhibited those admir
able Halts of laige-heurted persona!
character which endear him most to
those brought most ilosely Into contact
with him.
The men who hde made pcisonal as
sault and dett action aie unusually ac
tive factoi In the pM'sent cumpalgn
have not spared Colonel Stone because
of any feeling of chivalry or generosltj,
but because their painstaking seniches
into the details of his career brought
f oi th no ammunition which they could
employ against him. The fiont and sum
ot their objection to him is that In his
tunvass foi the nomination he teceivecl
In some instances the co-opeiatlon of
Senatoi Quay. Had he been nominated
without that help his canvass would
picsent absolutely no point whatever
at which Republican opponents of
Quay imild dliect their airows of
criticism. We do not believe that the
Republicans of Pennsylvania propose
to go out of politics, as n party and
turn the state government over to the
Democrats simply because their own
admirable nominee for governor num
bers among his many fi lends the senloi
member from Pennsylvania in the sen
ate of the Fnlted States. Whether they
admlie Quay or not, to sacrifice their
paity for so small a reason would In
a common sense -view seem the height
of childish folly
One of three men will for four years
beginning next Jnnuaij be governor of
the state Swallow, Jenks or Stone.
The first has no expel lence in public
affalis and no well-organized paity
back of him; his temperament Is ob
jectionable and to make him governor
would be to put Pennsylvania along
side Kansas, Nebraska and the other
dlsoiganlzed western states that In ex
cesses of similar emotionalism have
chosen fieak executives. Jenks Is per
sonally a man ot ability; but politically
he Is the cieatlon of the worst elements
in the Democratic party, an opponent
ot the government duilng the civil war,
a Fiee Sllveilte In 1898 and in every
way dlrfeient from what the great, vlg
oious Ke stone state needs and requires
to preside over Its executive alfalrs. Col
onel Stone alone, In personal quality
und tecord und In repiesentation of
public policy, measuies up to the high
ofllce, and his election will satisfy the
truest inteiests of the people.

pal address at Women's Christian Tem
perance union convention at Reading.
Ciatotically speaking, Mts. Hammer
1 able to hit the nail on tho head ev
eiy time.
Spain's East Hope,
"f the Ameilcan people at the en
suing election vote as their best judg
ment prompts, to sustain the president
who has so admirably conducted the
war with Spain: if they belle Rlchaid
Croker's prediction that eie election
day the will have foi gotten all about
the war; If, In other words, they ex
hibit constancy of purpose and not
that fickleness which some ciltlcs re
gairt as disqualifying them from suc
cessfully handling laige administrative
problems, iuch as now confiont this
nation in consequence of Its swiftly
won war victories, a tioaty of peaco
will quickly be signed ut Paris, because
Spain will then have lost her last hope
and will have no option but to yield to
the American terms.
In view of the fact that a laige
number of tho piesldent's former sup
potters aie lust now quarreling among
thmnelves, while a great political party
In the United States, larget In member
ship than the whole of Spain's adult
male population, Is putting up a par
tisan fight on the McKlnley adminls
tratlon with a view to wresting control
of congress from It, It Is not suipilslng
that the Spanish peace commissioners
are playing for tlmo and hoping to re
ceive Indliect help from tho United
States. These astute Spanish diplo
matists calculnte to profit, not from
any new strength which Spain heiself
can muster, hut from tho disintegration
of American stienglh in partisan or
factional political stilfe. They aro
looking to tho Democratic patty and to
disgruntled and vindictive Republicans
In the United States for aid In making
mote difficult and inoro precarious the
good work of president William Mc
Klnley. Thus far they huve not lacked en
couingunint. As In 1881, the Demo
cratic party, or, rather, Its misguided
lenderr, today Inclines toward a posi
tion antagonistic to the government.
Then It declared the war for tho pre
servation of the Vnlon n. fatlute and
wanted Lincoln to sue for pence ndw
It blackguards the management of tho
wnr'and wants to put the piesldent
In n pocket. Rut It rests with the
people to saj whether these last hopes
of Spain shall bo realized, and if they
are ns pattlollo as we believe thcin to
be, both the Detnociatlo nnd the Span
ish leaders might better throw up their
hands and. quit.
Humorists will plearo note that the
only man on lepoul who possessed the
lovo of his mother-In. law was iiiiested
in New Yoik the other day an a bold,
bad buiglar.

President McKlnley, and tliut message
comes with pecullur foice to the vv airing
Republicans of Pennsylvania. There aio
differences heu Dr. Swallow with per
sonal ambition to serve, and with no
thought for the future of tin- nation. Is
making a campaign of his own. a peculiar
campaign lllltd with bitterness anil exng
geiatlon. Mi. Jenks a free sllvei and
ftte Hade Democrat, is leading his party
of fice trado nnd free silver to the polls
for the purpose of breaking clown the Re
publican party Nothing elso could be
expected from Democratic partisans, Hut
when It comes to Republicans turning
upon their own party for the sake of
venting personal spite igalnst this or
that man. e approach a different pli i-e
of the campaign.
o
We have ai rived at a most Impoitant
point In the history of this country. We
are feco to face with the greatest prob
lems the nation has had to deal with for
more than a quarter of a century. Cuba
and Porto Rico nnd the Philippines must
oecupj our attention. Wise leadeishlp Is
absolutely essential for the affairs of
theso Islands must be settled, and there
looms up ahead new markets for our
manufaetuied goods and the bulldlnc of
ships of commerce which will carry Im
mense cargoes under the Hag of the
Union all over the world Can these
questions be settled with a Democratic
party nagging and tiylng to nullify the
good work of the president '
o
Men of Pennsj Ivanla who have acted
with the Republican party, men who have
been disappointed In their appeals to the
people In tot met campaigns, have lg
niued the problems of the future and tell
the voteiw that the only Issue Involved
Is their own pcisni.il gilevances. "We
must stand unitedly," sajs Piesldent JIo
Klulcv, but these nun array themselves
against this appeal of the president. They
join themelves with Swallow, with Jenks
with any partv or faction In older that
an anti-Republican legislature may bo
elected to send a Democrat to the United
States senate The laid which they are
making, should It succeed In carrs lng fie
state against Colonel Stone for the gov
ernorship, could not fall to send several
Democrats to the house of lepresentatlves
and a Dcmociat to the senate. Such an
outcomo would be ruinous. Wo cannot
afford to lose any congressmen In Penn
sylvania It wo are to preserve a Repun
can majoilty for McKlnley The light .

Is Pennsj lvaula rtadj to haul down the
American Hag from the captured Islands','
Then by all means lc t her Join the Span

lesults of the war to give up the broad
plans and policies of the president, to cut
off the enlarged markets that aie prom
ised and put an end to the building up of
our ocean eommeice ' Then b all means

Into the lines of the Hi publican deb Ra
tion to congnss und cbet an anti-Republican
Uglslatuii'
-o
It Is beyond eompn lienslou that any
considerable bod) of Republicans should
be led astiay. A patilotlc piesldent at
Washington is battling for Increased
prosperity for the country, and ho calls
upon Penns) Ivanla. and New York and
the other states to support him. Shall he
not have this support fiom Pennsylva

the state over to his foes or to men who

the pilvato character, the peisonal hon

WAR EXPERIENCES.
Rdltor of The Tribune,
Sir: Tor some months I have been
leading tho newspaper criticism on the
treatment of the soldier during the war
with Spain That there has been a great
dcnl of suffering Is beyond question, duo
in a large measuie to the inexperlcncn of
tho ofllce! s, and not to their vicious dis
position, as one would think from tho
tone of somo of tho critics When a man
. suddenly called to take charge ot and
1'inage a business In civil life, of which
he has no knowledge, he is bound to
make more or fewer mistakes, and a pru
dent business man would not think of
putting such a person In charge of an en
teipilse where only dollars could be lost.
Yet, under our system. In times of sudden
emergency the government Is obliged to
put her soldiers In tho caia of olllcers
who know llttlo ot nothing about the
business of war, anil their want of knowl
edge costs ,m great deal of suffering and
loss of lite They should not be Judged
too harshly, they have done the best
they knew, and probably qulto as well as
somo of their sharp critics could have
done under the samo conditions.
-o
1 hear a great deal about starving sol
diers. My expei fence and observation ase
11 volunteer from '01 to '63, has convinced
m that there Is more danger of "young
soldier boys" getting sick fiom eating too
much, lather than too little, especially of
stuff found about sutler's stores, or that
which Is ulwa)S peddled shout camp by
citizens, and I won't except stale straw
berry short cake und pies sent from home
by loving but misguided friends. As an
Illustration, I will state what hauncned
In tho camps of two Pennsylvania regi
ments In the fall and winter of '61 and
CI, Our colonel was a practical, hard
headed Pennsylvania Dutchman, who
would not have u sutler In his ramp. lie
would not allow us to havo drees coats
and white gloves like tho other rrgl
ments, to put on style with, because It
made Just so much moro weight for us
to cuiry Very lew peddlers got Into our
camp with their "plzen" things for sale.
Ho often surprised tho cooks Just before
meals, by coming mound and tnstlng and
exiimlntntr the food to seo If It was well
epoked nnd wholesome The consequence
wus, our hospital was rather a lonesome
place rl " "mi did not have much
fflff
practlco on tho funeral dirge. The other
regiment camped near us. Thoy had a
largo sutler's stoie, which wns well pa
tronized. Peddlers found u icady sale for
nil they might bring The result was u
full hospital und ii funeral very fre
quently. o
Later In the vvnr 1 ciossod the Cumber
land mountain from Kentucky to Knox
vlllo, a ellstiiticu of 2UQ miles, In nild-vv In
ter, and arrived thoro Just ufter a siege
of tho place by Longstreet had been
raised. Rations were so scarce for sev
erapwecks Hint guards were placed over
the mules while they were eating to keep
the men from stealing tho com When
rations wore Issued to us, vvei daro not
tiUBt ourselves with tho whole week's
supply for fear wo would eat It ull In
ono day. We choeo ono man to take
chnr-e of It and glvo us somo cacti
day. When we got through picking our
teeth after a meal all evidence that wo
had eaten vanished. It did not niako nny
one blck; on the contrary, the command
was unusually healthy. Most people for
get thut more people die of overeating
thun stanc lo death
o
Some critics complain that the men In
Santiago were short of kettles to boll
water, and had only their cups nnd can
teens to hold a srppl) of water As to the
kettles, I presume they had thrown them
away, which Is not an unusual thing to
do on a forced imrch on a hot dnv. I
have known soldleis to make campaigns
of some lergth with only a plato and
cup for their cooking outfit. As to the
shortcomings of tho medical department,
I hnvn seen on many battlefields tho
conditions ns bad, or woise, where there
were pietty good roads to bring supplies
up on. One would think from reading
thnt a doctor needed a whole drug store
to properly eaie for a wounded man. All
that Is usual!) used on a wound Is a
cold water eompiess llandnges, anaes
thetics, untlM piles and n euse ot Instru
ments make up i suimem kit on u bat
tlefield. I was wounded almost In sight
of tho White Ilnusi wheie lived the
great hearted Lincoln, and vet, with hun
dreds of others, was left on the Held to
fall Into the eneinv's hands, when there
were many hours In which to romovo us;
but in a forced march to engago and
stop "Stonewall" Jackson's forces, our
ambulance train had been left far be
hind Some iff our suigeons icmalncd
with us I saw them cut oft the leg or
arm of many a poor fellow nnd lay him
back In the grass, as they are said to
have done In Santiago. After I) lng there
three days and nights almost without food
(I had In that time one craekei) an ambu
lance train came for us under a (lag of
tiuce. nnd took us into Alexandria, twent
tv miles ellstant We arrived nbout 2 n.
m. and wero put on cots In n building, und
It was 10 o'clock n in before any one
came to remove our bloody, greasy, lousy
clothes, and dress our wounds. All with
in sight of the war department.
ci
Ouo cold, stormy inoining In the last
da)s of October a comrade nnd I le
eched our dlschaiges. and set out, on
crutches, clad In the thin white hosultal
suits to go to Washington, where we
were told we could get our pav. It was
only three blocks to the ferrv, but wo
were so weak that It was neeessaiv to
rest many times on some convenient
door step, Ne Ithor of us had the price of
the fare across the river, and wo started
out to beat our way Whllo the fare col
lector was berating us for coming on the
boat without money, a middle aged,
farmer-looking man stPppcel up unci on
learning the trouble, gave the fellow SO
cents. We were landed about a mile
fiom the paymaster's ofllce, and started
out to walk theie when our friend ovei
took us with a cab and landed us at our
destination We sat around there on the
steps and on the floor in the hall until 1
o'clock In the afternoon before we ie.
eelved our pay. My experience was onlv
tho experience of thousands of otheis.
It was Just war and some of Its icsults
The government was not censured tor It
They did ull thev could for us, as I be
lieve they have tried to do that for the
soldiers In the late war. In case of a le
uewal of hostilities the piesldent will
know just where to put his lingcis on the
right men to run the war without a mis
take N. 13. Rice.

A .CLEAN CAMPAIGN.
Prom tho Philadelphia Inquirer.
It will be noticed that Colonel Stone
has conducted his campaign on a high
plane. He bus discussed tho great Issues
of tho day without saying un unkind word
of his opponents He Is uttacklng no
man. Ho appeals us an honest man to
honest citizens,
On the other side, the campaign Is one
of abuse, vllllllcutlou and defamation.
There Is no depth too degrading for somo
of these orators to wallow In. There Is no
mire too filthy for them to handle. The
campaign against the Republican party
is Blmply disgusting. Thinking men can
not fall to appreciate the campaign which
Colonel Stone Is making as compared with
that of his allies.
