From our Regular Corrrtpeudmt.
Washington, Sept. 20,189S.
Why should the investigation of the
Mar Department be made a star-
chamber-affair? That is the question
asked on every side since it was an
nounced that Mr. McKinley’s com
mission would, until further notice,
conduct the investigation behind the
locked doors of a room in the War
Department. Secret investigations
have never been popular with the
American people. This was recognized
by those who stated that these doors
would be closed, “until further notice.”
It is expected that public opinion will
demand that those doors be throwi)
open, and the testimony in this inves
tigation be publicly taken, and that
expectation will almost certainly be
realized. Let the Commission make
its consideration of the testimony as
secret as its members may desire, but
let the testimony be taken in public.
Otherwise, the public will put the
whole affair down as farcical. It may
be only a coincidence, but it is a sig
nificant one that the chairman of Mr.
McKinley's Commission is named
Dodge—Gen. G. M. Dodge, ot Iowa.
The other members,secured after much
trouble and many absolute refusals to
serve, are, Col. J. A. Sexton, of 111..
Cnpt. K. P. Howell, ot Ga.: Maj. Gen.
.1. M. Wilson, U. S. A.; Hon. C. A.
Denby, of Ind.; Ex-Gov. Woodbury,
of Vt; Ex-Gov. B*aver, of Pa.; Gen.
A. D. McCook, of New York, and
Dr. P. S. Conner, of Ohio.
Giving officers honorable discharges,
who have been openly accused by
Generals in the army ot incompetency
and mismanagement, is not a good way
to convince the country that the War
Department either wishes to find the
guilty or to punish them when found.
A case in point is that ot Lt. Col.
H. Huidekoper, the horse doctor who
was Ciiiet Surgeon at Camp Thomas,
Chickamauga Park, and against whom
many charges were made, including
one from a Brigadier General, made
directly to Secretary Alger. Instead
of having Huidekoper court martialed,
so that he could have been either vindi
cated or convicted, orders were issued
that his resignation should be accepted
and he be given an honorable dis
charge. Mr. McKinley heard of that
order and countermanded it, and di
rected that Huidekouer be ordered to

Another member may be added to
the President’s cabinet. “Secretary of
the Colonies” will likely be his title, if
congress takes the action required.
The Democrats are going to “muster
out” candidate Hogan on October 5th.
That grand old Confederate Veteran,
Allen D. Candler, will be the muster
ing out officer.
It must not be a very pleasant feel
ing for a man to go to bed not knowing
what minute a lot of hot lava may flow
down rpon him. Such is the situation
with the people of Naples just now,
and there is no telling how soon old
Vesuvius may give them a dash of
molten lead.
While Aguainaldo may not be up on
Political Economy and perfect in
statesmenship, he is evidently no fool.
He is reported to have remarked in a
recent interview that he expected the
withdrawal of the United States troops
“just as the French with Lafayette
withdrew after helping the American
colonies in their war of independence,
a’war of humanity.”
Washinglon to testify before the in.
vestigating commission. Mr. McKin
ley is finding out much more
about things than he knew before the
talk about investigation began; and it
is believed that he intends making it
hot for some ot the guilty parties. In
fact, his personal friends are telling
him that he must do so for self-preser
vation.
Representative Cochran, ot Mo., who
is in Washington trying to convince
the administration to order more Mis
souri Volunteers mustered out of ser
vice, said of the republicans asking
endorsement of their conduct of
the war: “The republicans will
be fortunate, indeed, if they can
divert public attention from the
bond issue, the neglect and misman
agement which has characterized the
conduct of the authorities in actual
charge of the prosecution of the war.
How they can expect to gain any ad
vantage by raising war issues, it is dif
ficult to understand. The troops in the
field nre composed of men of all par
ties. They did their duty nobly, and
have added to the glory and reputation
of American arms, by deeds ot unpar
alleled heroism. So much for the sol
diers in the field. Now, if the author
ities at Washington can afford to go to
the country tor approbation of an ad
ministration, which failed to provide
our brave soldiers with the rations,
tents, medicines, and competent sur
geons and attendants, during the strug
gle and hinge the result ot the fall
election upon this issue, the democrats
can afford to meet it, 1 think, how
ever, that the war will cut very little
figure. Parties will divide on old lines,
and the issues of 1896 will be fought
over again.
Much interest is felt in Washington
in that affidavit made by “Teddy” j
Roosevelt, that he was not a resident,
of New York, but of Washington. It j
is not believed that the making public
of this affidavit by the friends of Gov. j
Black, will prevent “Teddy” getting ■
the republican nomination for Gov. of j
New York, but “Teddy’s” explanation
of why he made it ♦ill go along way
towards helping the democrats defeat
him

ington, and did not wish to pay double
taxes. He escaped the payment of his
personal taxes in New York by filing
that affidavit, and a careful search of
the tax hook of the District of Colum
bia, shows that he paid no personal
taxes in Washington. “Teddy’s”
army record shows that a tax dodger
may make a tip-top tighter, hut the vo
ters of New York are likely to decide
by a large majority that they do not
approve of making a tax dodger
governor of their state.
Col. W. J. Bryan nnd Gov. Hol
comb, of Nebr., received much' atten
tion Irom prominent democrats during
the several days they were in Wash
ington working in the interest of Ne
braska volunteers. Col. Bryan could
not publicly talk politics, but he par
ticipated in some important political
conferences and freely gave his opinion
to his fellow democrats.
Prohibltlonlstmare Bolder.
The success of prohibitionists re
cently in the counties of Sumter and
Wilkes has emboldened the voters of
that faith in many of the larger coun
ties. In Bibb county, where whiskey
has always been sold,the prohibitionists
have decided to take a firm stand, and
an election will he ordered for some
day in December. Petitions are now
being circulated all through Bibb
county in order to get the necessary
number of names to call an election.
This contest wjll be one of the most
exciting ever held in Georgia.
Occupation of Cuba.
It is now stated that the military
occupation of Cuba by American troops
will hardly begin before the first of
November. Orders have been issued
for the organization of three brigades
to hold themselves in readiness to go
to Cuba whenever orders reach them.
The troops will either embark from
Savannah or Charleston, and trans
ports are now being prepared to take
them to Cuba. It is stated that the
work of garrisoning the islands will
commence from the west end, and that
American troops will take possession
as fast as the Spaniards quit the gar
risoned towns.
Colonel Roosevelt Nominated.
The expected happened when Colo
nel Roosevelt was nominated for gov
ernor of New York over Black, by the
republican convention at Saratoga last
Tuesday. The nomination of Roose
velt has been a foregone conclusion, al
most since the first mention of his
name in connection with the governor
ship. It cannot be denied that the re
publicans have put up the strongest
man that could be brought forward bv
them at this time. The democrats of
New York, however, will make a tre
mendous effort to carry the state in the
coming election.
October lffih is Trades Display Day.
This will he a great event on the
