the WAR’S HEROES.
The New York Times off-hand
records the following names as
the most popular heroes of the
war:
Rear Admiral George Dewey,
of Vermont.
Lieutenant Richard Reason
Hobson, of Alabama.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of
New York.
Rear Admiral Winfield S.
Schley, of Maryland.
Capl. Robley D. Evans, of
Virginia.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, of Ala
bama.
Capt. Chas. Edgar Clark, of
Vermont.
Lieutenant Commander Rich
ard Wainwright, of the District
es Columbia.
Commodore John W. Phillips,
of New York.
Ensign Worth Baley,of North
Carolina.
Lieut. Victor Blue, of South
Carolina.
Cadet Joseph W. Powell, of
New York.
We may claim seven of the
twelve for the South. Wain
wright hails from the District of
Columbia, but he is said to be a
South Carolinian. So, although
—— -juui mu not have much
chance to show her mettle in
the war on land, from no fault
of hers, she comes eut grandly
and conspicuously in naval mat
ters.
The Cincinnati Commercial-
Tribune says: “Pity the queen
regent. She is one pathetic fig
ure in the drama that calls for
genuine sympathy, and she is
aot a Spaniard.”
This is the only war that the
United States ever waged in
which the Southern troeps did
not do the most of the fighting
—and it was not the South’s
fault this time.
DW E IV ED ROASTS,
The press of the country is
giving the war department un
merciful roasts, new that the
war is over, and criticism is
freely placed where it belongs.
Here is a mild sample of the
criticisms, as made by the Phil
adelphia Record :
“The authorit es at Washing
ton knew beforehand that perils
would inevitably attend military
operations at Santiago. At this
season of the year malarial and
yellow fever were more to be
dreaded than any resistance
which the Spanish troops might
off- r. There should have been
adequate preparations for taking
care of the sick. It is now well
known that thousands of out
brave regulars and volunteers
have Buffered unnecessarily be
cause of sheer neglect and in
competency. This is the most
regretful remembrance that the
war will leave behind it.’
The Dawson News agrees
with the Sparta Ishmaelite in
this : “The ‘hero’ business lias
been decidedly overworked since
Ithe war began. ’Heroes’ have
[been as common aa republicans
in Vermont. ”
WATER IN THE WAR.
There is a lively scrap now
progressing between a Knoxville
and a Chattanooga paper anent
the transfer of a division es the
army from Ccicamauga to E«ast
Tennessee. Ihe Knoxville pa
per admits that Camp Thomas
would be ordinarily healthy, but
for one sad negle r t that threat
ens the people of Chattansoga.
It says that owing to the fact
that the drainage of Chicamau
ga Park is into Chicamauga
creek, and that tho creek Hows
into the Tennessee river above
the point from where the city
water supply is pumped, the city
physician of Chattanooga urges
all citizens to boil all their water
before using it.
This is an admission that the
drainage of the park has pollut
ed the walers of Chicamauga
creek so much tha 4 it is thought
necessary for the protection of
the health of the people of Chat
ta iooga that they should boil
their water pumped from the
Tennessee river several miles
below the mouth of the creek.
The water problem is one of
the great considerations of the
war and it has been impressed
upoti the world beyond all for
mer precedent.
We renew our advice to pro
hibition and other temperance
friends to include this study in
their warfare agair.sr runt. L t
them wage unceasing conflict
against impure water and seek
to banish it from civilization.
Until this be don,e, to a large
degree, men will, in many cases,
stick to strong drink rather than
confine themselves to polltued
water. —Augusta Chronicle.
THE SIXTH MASSACHU
SETTS
The Sixth Massachusetts,
vv it iuii so hftdly,
according to report, yet uncon
tradicted, is what stmts pecple
call “a historic regiment.” The
Springfield Republican says :
“It appears * l -~‘ * ,ie
regiment simply went to pieces
all along the way. The fault, of
this must be laid on its colonel.
This is the outcome of the plot
which relegated Col. Parsons,
with his fine fighting record in
the civil war, to private life and
gave Senator Woodward the
colonelcy. The fact that these
officers of the Sixth were sum
moned before an examining
board is proof of their failure to
rise to the emergencies of active
service. It is too bad that this
regiment,whose passage through
Baltimore was so warmly wel
comed, where it pledged its
word to make a record worthy
of its history—in view of the
ovation there received, should
be in disgrace through the fail
ure of its officers. But that is
what this news about it means.
The fact will be greatly regretted
throughout the state. This un
wonted happening is the first
thing to mar the fame and hon
orable record of the state in this
war. Col. Parsons may have |
had his faults on the parade
ground, but lie would have been
a godsend to the Sixth in active
service. These officers of the
Sixth w'll have a melancholy
return to the Sixth will have a
melancholy return to the old
Bay state.”
The Sixth Massachusetts, of
Confederate war fame, was mob
bed in Baltimore when it passed
through to attack the south in
1861. The same regiment with
new men ami officers, passed
through through Baltimore, in
1898, a few months ago, and re
ceived a great welcome when
marching to attack Spain. In
that regiment were two negro
companies, with their own offi
cors.This did not seem to dis—

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured 1 v scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that faet will
assist one in * voiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, ami the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all oilier laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
I nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

Round Robin Roosevelt has
probably closed his war career,
Secretrry Alger will not go out
of his wav to send this Round

tackle New York politics on his
war record.
At the close of his official ca
reer, Bismarck said to some
friends at Friedrichsruhe : “I
have seldom been a hapy man.
If I reckon up the rare minutes
of real happiness in my life, I
do not believe the}' would make
twenty four hours in all. In my
political lire 1 net er had time to
have the feeling of happiness.
But in my private life there
have been moments of happi
ness. I remember, for instance.,
a really happy moment in my
life, and that was when I shot
my first hare. In later years it
gave me pleasure to see my irri
gated meadows and plantations
thriving, and at home I took
pleasure in my wife and chil
dren.”
