WASHINGTON LETTER.
From #«r Krsular t'orr<*sp*n>triil.
Washington, Sept. 14,1898.
Mr. McKinley has been convinced
by official evidence and the advice of
some of his long-headed friends, that
he could not afford to continue to ig
nore the charges cf mismanagement
made against the war department, thus
virtually himself assuming responsi
bility for what Secretary Alger has
i dene, and more especially what he lias
i left undone in looking alter the health
! of the soldiers, and has allowed the
I announcement to be made that he
I would appoint a Commission of emi
nent men. whose report will enjoy the
• confidence of the country, to investi-
! gate the entire conduct of the war.
| Secretary Alger, who had repeatedly
! said that no investigation was needed,
! was compelled, belore he lelt Wash*
! ington, on an inspecting tour of the
camps and hospitals, which, by the way
he was compelled to make, to write a
letter to Mr. McKinley asking that an
investigation be made. If Senators

McKinley, may do. The desire to

Colonel Ray, commander of the
Third United States regiment of im-
unes, now garrisoned at Santiago de
aba, has announced a number of pro-
otions. The new officers are all At-
kntians. Captain Ed Wilson was made
raajdr of the Third battalion. Lieut.
Bruce McBride was made a captain.
rgeants Brooks, Clarke and Josh
Johnson were made lieutenants. The
promotions were made to fill vacancies
that have been caused by other officers
leaving the regiment.

at Cbieamauga, found the charges true,; are, of course, of the droll sort; but not
and placed the responsibility upon Maj. j more funny than the “snap-shop” pic-
Gen. Brooke, his Surgeons, and a lot J tures of Mark which his friends have
of hospital contractors. This report also loaned the magazine. These, too,
says: “We can find no reasonable ex- have never been printed
cuse for the lack of supplies, which
could Lave been easily obtained, and
were not, by those responsible, and
they should be held strictly respon
sible.” There is more of the same
sort, and this report was not signed by
the correspondents ot “sensational
newspapers,” but by Milo B. Ward,
Major and Brigadier Surgeon; James
J. .Johnson, Major 2nd Arkansas Vol
unteers, and Emil S. Hellburn, Major
2nd Kentucky Volunteers, and is now
in the hands of Maj. Gen. Brecken-
ridge. It is no wonder that sporting
men are offering odds that Alger will
have to go.
There are not many shrewder poli
ticians in the country than Mr. Mc
Kinley, and he hasn’t displayed a
slicker bit of his shrewdness lately than
in taking three out of the five Peace
Commissioners lrom the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign relations, which
must approve the treaty that will be
made by the Commission if it is to
have any chance to be ratified by the
Senate. Senators Davis and Frye are
depended upon to get all the republi
can Senators to support the treaty, and
Senator Gray is expected to get enough
democratic Senators to make up the
requisite two-thirds. Secretary Day is
on the Commission, solely to he Mr.
McKinley’s mouth-piece, as he lias
been at the head of the Department of
State; Whitelaw Reid was selected—
well, nobody knows what in the duce lie
was selected for, unless it was to show
Boss Platt that his protests did not al
ways count. The Commissioners are
to meet Mr. McKinley this week, pre
vious to sailing for Europe next Satur
day. According to current gossip the
administration will only ask tor one
island—Luzon—in the Philippine
group.
The news received at the headquar
ters of the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee gets more en
couraging every day. In many Dis
tricts that were sometime ago put in
the republican column by a small mar
gin or were considered doubtful, the
democrats are now confident of win
ning. There is a feeling among demo
crats that the House can be captured,
and a determination to do it. In a
number of states the republicans are
divided into factions, which will add to
the chances of electing democrats in
Congressional districts now represented
by republicans. The republicans are
dropping their boastful attitude, and
of talking of incrensing their
majority in the House, as they were
doing a little while back, they are
‘talking of trying to hold their own,and
party.
Mr. Bartlett lias made a fine record
as a legislator, both in the state and
national assemblies, and he is an ex
ceedingly popular gentleman. There
is not a man in congress who will do
more to serv e his constituents, his party
or his country and such a man merits
the popularity which lias come to Mr.
Bartlett. There is no telling how long
Hon. Charles L. Bartlett will repre
sent this district in congress, probably
as long as he wants to.—llarnesville

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital or
gans were undermined and death seem
ed imminent. For three months she
coughed incessantly,and could not sleep.
She finally discovered a way to recov
ery, by purchasing of us a bottle ot Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump
tion, and was so much relieved on tak-
ine first dose, that she slept all night;
and with two bottles, lias been absolute
ly cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther
Lutz” Thus writes W. G. Ilammick

OUR TRADE EXPANSION.
Significance of the War as an Aid to
Natural Conditions.
The fall season is about to open, and
unless all indications are at fault it
must be one of the most prosperous
business seasons of modern times.
The country never was iri better con
dition for substantial business advance
ment.
The credit of the nation is accepted
throughout the whole civilized world
as second to none of -the enlightened
and progressive governments; the bal-
atice of trade never was so largely in
our favor; the gold reserve in the na
tional treasury is higher today than any
previous high-water mark; the crops
of the year are most bountiful; our
long depressed industries have very
generally been quickened into activity;
labor as a rule finds steady employ
ment at fair wages, which are likely to
improve, and the necessaries of life
have never been as cheap in the mark
ets as they are today.
The war has opened up new and per
manent demands upon our industries.
More than 100,000 men will be drawn
from farms and shops and business
places of the land to enlarge the army,
and fully $500,000,000 have been or
will be expended by the government in
prosecuting the war and maintaining
the provinces we have conquered, ev
ery dollar of which is paid to our own
people. We are today buying mucli
less than usual from abroad, while we
are selling more in foreign markets
than at any time in the history of the
government. Indeed, there is not a
single feature that goes to make up na
tional wealth and prosperity that this
country does not possess today in a con
spicuous degree.—Philadelphia Times.
A Great Work-Day for the Orphans.
100,000 Friends to Join in one Day's
Work, Saturday, Oct. 1, to Build
Cottages to Care for Suffer
ing Children.
We all want to help a pitched little
face, that has seen hunger and cruelty..
Human hearts move to them. We see
many of these pathetic little suffererc,
but we can’t take them into onr homes.
We here realize the great work of Or
phans’ Homes. What better use can
we put our money to than in saving
these orphans and waifs, while their
hearis are open to our love and sym
pathy?
The North Georgia Orphans’ Home
at Decatur has been trying to help alt
these, and have had to treble -their
numbers in less than four yeave, siitd
are overflowing again. So jiraotical is
their work in home and farm that they
have reduced their per capita expense
for 120 orphans to about $1.00 per
week.
All tin? friends of this great work
are asked to join in a great work-day
un Saturday, Oct. 1, to help build
more cottage homes for the orphans, a
work shop, and to provide the needed
food and expenses. Many friends have
gladly promised to give the full value
of this day’s labor to God and the or
phans. It will be a great sight to see
from 50,000 to 100,000 grown frieiub
and children picking cotton that day,
and an equal number in city and town
giving their best day’s labor to bless
the orphans. It is very little to ask.
and yet the result will be grekt.
This “Orphans’ Home Work-Day* 8
is going to be the greatest work <biy
for any one purpose ever known in
Georgia. It will be a delight to yoaog
and old to organize u company, not to
fight with bullets, but with love, the
enemies of helpless, deserted childhood.
Roll iqi the cotton into great hates.
Roll up the work until at least 100,000
have joined the work army, and the
dollars have grown to thousands, and
the money been changed into sweet
homes filled with neglected waifs and
orphans, from whose eyes we have
brushed the tears, and put food into
their mouths and a song into their
hearts.

COL. REAVES RESIGNS.
Leaves Third Immunes at Santiago.
Maj. Gordon Under Suspension.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 11.—Lieu
tenant Colonel Reaves, of the Third
regiment United States volunteers,
commanded by Col. Ray, has resigned.
Major Frank Gordon, of Atlanta, also
of the Third regiment, is under sus
pension pending the hearing of the
•charges against him for conduct unbe
coming an officer. )
Lieutenant Colonel Reaves has de
parted for tlie United States on the
transport Nashville.
For some time there has been decid
ed friction between Colonel Ray and
bis second in command. Charges of
incapacity were preferred agaiast
Reaves, and he was tried upon the ar- *
rival of the regiment here. The charges
were not sustained, but the resignation
is regarded as the result of them.
In the case of Major Gordon, it it
not believed that harsh measures will
lie resoM«d-Ao, as the colonel feels very
kindly toward him. < • ?jt
