The last number of the Army and Ifavy Journal contains an article that points out the necessity of discipline Jn diet and habit among troops in ae ' tive service. The writer shows that the regular army has the advantage over volunteers because the latter re sent regulations as to food as n in terference with their presonal rights and privileges, Surgeons have little difficulty in handling regulars, but find it almost impossible to control 'sick or convalescent volunteers. In " the present war certain rules were prescribed for campaigns in the tropics. The regular officers insisted on the observance of these whenever ' possible. The volunteers as a rule laughed at them. In the civil war the regulars lost a larger percentage in battle than the volunteers, but a far less proportion from disease. Dm ing the civil war 831 regulars and 34,582 volunteers were killed in action, 1,174 regulars And 48,032 volunteers died of wounds, and 3,009 regulars and 183, 207 volunteers died of disease. The mortality from disease among the regular! was 47 per cent; among the volunteers 75 per cent. Among the regulars the deaths from disease were only one-half more than from battle losses; among the volunteers nearly . two and a quarter times as great. The men of the regular service are not only closely supervised in the matter of clothing, diet and sanitary conditions but they are trained to unruffled acceptance of whatever war brings. It is the habit of new volun teers to regard army rations with hostility and they are encouraged in this by their friends at home. The regulars understand that the army rations are made up of what ex . perience has demonstrated as the best possible under the-the circumstances, .Every man is informed as to what is '3ii3 due and as to how to make the most of what is issued to him. The 'volunteers who served through the -civil war were as well informed . on this subject as the regulars, and lhey never quarreled with their ra lions. Among some or the new regi ments in this war army rations were regarded as little better than a means of punishment Neither officers nor ' men looked carefully after their sup plies, and too often they wasted food which the regulars would have made good use of. The volunteers worried over re straint, resisted discipline in the matter of camp duties, gave free rein to disappointment, and longed for the luxuries of home. The regulars were trained to eat what the army au thorities believed was good for them and to observe regulations to prevent disease. When it came to fighting, the volunteers were the peers of , the regulars; when it came to exposure and sickness, there was no compari son; the regulars had the advantage. The conclusion of the writer in the Army and Navy Journal is that the volunteers are more reckless of life in camp' than they are m battle. " They must be trained to fight off disease as well as to shoot at enemies; must snbmit to discipline in the care .. of themselves in camp as well - as to discipline in the ranks. "Assassination," said Disraelf, in referring to Lincoln's death, -"has never changed the history of the world." The meaning of the great British statesman's aphorism was that -assassination never accomplished the object its authors had in view. Lin coln's own taking off, which was, -of course, as profoundly regretted in ' the south as in the north, added . to the troubles and difficulties which his hare brained murderer doubless de sired and expected to diminish. The blindness and folly of assassination are its most striking features. When the nihilists killed Alexander II, of Russia, in 1881 t they removed the emancipator of 24,000,000 serfs and put in his place the cruel and gloomy bigot Alexander-Ill, who drove the Jews out of his dominions. A few days ago, just after t,he world heard of the present Czar's proposition to reduce national armies and to further the cause of international peace, it read of an elaborate attempt to mur der him. The assassination of the Empress of Austria removes a worthy and popular woman, without dimin ishing in the faintest degree . the powers or pretentions' of crowned heads in any part of the world or of helping any person or cause any where. Even when it has any pur pose, the assassination of potentates is the densest sort of political stupid ity. Globe Democrat. . . . HOLD THE VOLUNTEERS. The developments of the last few days have shown the wisdom of the president's decision not to muster out any more volunteers. It is clear now that no demand on Spain will be granted unless we are prepared to en force it. Spain never would have engaged in war had we had six months ago an army of 250,000 soldiers ready for military opera tions. She will yield without further resistance if we keep 200,000 soldiers roady for military operations. She will not yield if we reduce the num ber one-half or break down the great organization we have spent so much money to create. Very few regiments have been mustered out. Inmost cases the men of regiments ordered home have been given furloughs for thirty or sixty daj's. The convalescents on furlough will recover their health and those who were homesick will find that lounging about the city or country village is quite as irksome as camp life. If they are . called again to service they will return with zest to take up active campaigning in weather better suited to military operations than was the summer, . If there is a possibility of a con tinuance of the war the government cannot afford to muster out any more volunteers. The experience which they have had is invaluable because in It they have gained what can be gained in no other way. The troops that have been in camp or in the field for four months have passed through the most trying period of a soldier's life. Seasoned and trained as they are, they are worth to the government four times their number in greenmen. The government de sires, of course, to reduce war ex penses, but if there is a , possibility that hostilities will be resumed t it would be economy to keep the present volunteers in service or under orders, and season and train them still further. "' Many ridiculous complaints are made about garrison and patrol duty among the volunteers. The inference Is that troops sent to Cuba, or Porto Rico, or the Philippines, will have no other than police duty to perform. The chances are the other way. The volunteer army which has just cut its eye teeth and is fairly ready for the work of war would, in event of a dis agreement with Spain, have opportu nity to do.nnder more favorable con ditions what Shafter's army did in Cuba. Remaining in service - through September and October will be " no hardship to troops in camp, in "this country or in Porto Rico. Service through the winter months in Cuba will not be trying' or dangerous, Every month's service . adds to the value of the soldier, and from this time forwaul fewer mistakes will b made by officers, and men. Even if there be no resumption of the ' war against Spain the extra sixty days' service or extr six months', as the case may be, will leave the volun teers much better for their experience in the army than they would be if discharged now. Tbi3 in itself wilf be of great advantage to the nation. In view of future calls for volunteers it is most desirable that the men now in service carry to their homes, when they are discharged, fair knowledge of a soldier's life; and that they pre dissbarged, fair knowledge of a sol dier's life, and that lhey be con trolled by soldierly instinct, spirit, and pride. - . The American dollar is received with full honors in our new. posses sions. It needs no apology,: stand- cents. If nine-tenths ot the Filifpinos want to be annexed, what is the pro portatipn in Cuba? Probably not much less on a full vote "and fair count. '" ON TO PARIS. 4 The United States peace commis sioners received their final sealed in structions Thursday, and will sailed from New York Sept. 15lh. It is ex pected that the joint commission will begin work at Paris before the month closes. ' v - . . Just what the instructions given are is a slate secret, but the report from Washington is that thej are en tirely satisfactory to the members of the commission who are in sympathy with popular demand' to hold the Philippines, and that the conclusion of the whole matter will be Spain's elimination from the list . of colonial nations- -The first impulse of the administra tion was, apparently, to regard Ma nila as the Hong Kong of the United Stales, but upon ..reflection it was seen to be impracticable to dissociate Manila, bay or city, from the island of Luzon. It is hardly lessimprac ticable to disassociate that island from the rest of the Philippine group. It is supposed that the American com missioners are instructed to announce at once that at least the entire island of Luzon must remain in the hands of the United States.' Perhaps Spain itself will take the position that the entire group must be treated as a unit. If not at first, it might be led final'v to do so when other details come to be considered. Diplomacy is not a lost art even in America, Short as was the time between the signing of the peace protocol and the sealing of the instructions to the peace commission, it was long enough for the whole civilized world to have its attention focalized on the colonial readjustment made necessary by the war between the United States and Spain.. With one voice the parties not in interest have declared in favor of this republic's taking upon itself substantially all the colonial obliga tions of Spain. Never since there was a newspaper press has there been such . unanimity in the editorial opinion of the world. Wherever pub lished, and in whatever language, the journals of civilized countries have arrived at the same general con clusion. The governments of the world seem to share in this lemark- able consensus of public opinion. Nor has the Spanish government or press shown any disposition to find fault with it. This absence of pro test from' Spain warrants the hope that either Spain will refuse to accept the mere scraps and tailings of its colonies, or that, when the American demand is fully made, it will be promptly acquiesced in. Inter Ocean. General Garcia assures his Cuban friends that they have nothing to gam by opposing the pacification measures of the United States. He might say with equal truth that the Cubans will find it greatly to .their advantage to support the policy of the. United States. - - . .. If Spain had only stopped to think lhat there are in this country 240,698 public school houses and 14,465,870 children in' the public " schools, it would have chosen some other an tagonist. The difference in the men behind the guns began in the school rooms. There is not a military bureau in Europe that does not consider the war a re markable success for the United States. . The later partisan developments will not cause a change of opinion. ' . '- The small loss of life in the Ameri can navy and the freedom of the sailors from disease during a summer in the tropics will pass into history as one of the curiosities of war. . The latest estimate of the cost of the war with Spain is $235,000,000 which is far less than was anticipated. In this respect, as in others, the war was a success. ' ' V.v - The Spanish sailors showed their highest effectiveness in beaching a ship. It is, howeyer, the most ex pensive branch ot the naval business. inc good everywhere for 100 SPECIAL MARKET LETTER. lamed Weekly filvlnc; Present- Quota tion on Wextnrn Stock. . -Omaha Markets. . Since our last letter there have Keen gooJBoaklng raina over tho elates of Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska, which will insure plenty of water for stock daring the fall months, arid also put the native grass past a re in the best poeeible condition for feeding both cattle and sheep. . . ' " . , The corn crop is so nearly matured that feeders are 'now able to estimate the quantity they have raised and also the amount that ia likely to be for eale in their -respective neighborhoods and the stock they will be able to handle during the coming season. As a conee quence of being able to define the situa tion there has been considerable activi ty daring the last week the demand for both stock and feeding cattle and also for feeding sheep. " : The supply of Western ; cattle this week has been quite liberal but they consisted largely of feeders on the com inon to .medium order. Good beef grades were scarce and in demand at prices, at the close today, 15c to 20c higher than a week ago. Good choice feeders are sell ing at firm prices, but other grades of feeders are 10c to 20c lower than the c'.oee of last week. Cows and heifers are selling at strong prices. . VV e quote Western grass beef sters at $3.70 to $4.55 : cows and heifers $2 75 to 4 15. Western stcckers and feeders yearlings, $4 to $4.75; two-year-olds, $3 80 to $4.40; three and four-year-olds, 13.70 to $4.35. Receipts of sheep during the past week have been large and composed mostly ot Western sheep. While fat sheep and lambs sold during -the week a ehade lower than last week, feeding sheep and lambs have been 10c to 15c higher, eell ing up to iai eneep ana lamos, bo mil the market as a whole has been very satisfactory to sellers. - .' Quite a large number of feeders from the surronnding states have been on the market and have made liberal purchases at good prices. The trade has been ac tive and receipts have been sold out promptly each day. ' - ". At the close we quote you Western wether?, $3.75 to $4 ; ewes, $3.50 to $3.75 ; yearlings $4 to $4.25; . lambs, $4.50 to $5.15. . . . Chicago Wool Mo tea. ,-: No concessions are being made in wool values by merchants here. - Several rep resentatives of large wool corporations were examining etocks of . wool during tfle week. A line of fine, and half-blood staple was disposed of, terms P. T. If holders of ' wool had been : witling to make slight . concessions, - some large blocks of the staple could have been easily moved, bnt merchants who have canvassed the situation carefully do not feel like meeting buyers' views at this time. Tney cannot offer this year's clip at prices that old wools have been sold at, in Eastern markets' recently ; so the blockade between dealer and merchant still continues. ' Holders at local points are still firm in their views, which places wool held in the several markets in a Btrong position, for no wools sold at today's quotations can be replaced. A strong featnre in the present con dition of wool, is the cold wave that has become general throughout the country, causing a change from light to heavier wearing apparel. This factor will cer tainly increase the demand for goods and will no donbt assist in bringing to gether manufacturer and ." merchant. When the change for the better comes, it will materialize quickly, and the di lemma .jn which the wool trade finds itself today will be overcome by a healthy demand for raw material. The London auction sales, which open on the 20th inst., where about 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 pounds of wool will be offered, is looked forward to as the turn ing point in values lor the prediction of an advance in prices at the coming series is general abroad, where great strength in prices still predominate. Deatneaa Cannot be Cared by local . applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is bv constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rnmbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its norma condition, bearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. - " " '.
