THE testimony of Gen. Wheeler is a thirteen-inch shell below the water line of the Democratic sick soldier campaign. Gen. Wheeler is a Democrat but he is an honest one and is not training with the Joe Bailey stripe.
THE Connecticut Democrats have discarded the Chicago platform and propose to make a campaign on state issues. Yet George Fred Williams went all the way to Omaha to inform the country that the cause of free silver was gaining in New England.
IN January 1895, in a speech in the Benate, Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic national committee, said: "The truth is that the silver certificates are to-day performing the office of the paper money of this country. The greenbacks are not performing it. Oa the contrary, they are held by the banks for the purpose of taking' the gold out of the treasury whenever they want it. whenever they choose to increase their holdings."
THE silver question is being forced to the front in the present campaign by certain Democratic leaders with the hope of saving something out of the wreckage in the election next November. The war issue having failed utterly to help their cause they now turn to free silver at 16 to 1. The great body of our people have their minds already fixed us to their duty touching this matter. The next house will be largely Republican as a result of the silver issue.
IN a speech on the floor of the senate, May 17, 1898. Senator Jones as ardently advocated the greenback as he had condemned it three years before. He said: "Mr. President, gold and silver may be tiat money, bat a greenback note is a promise to pay, and a promise to pay on demand the amount of money specified in the note itself." It showB that the Democratic party can take any position on the money question, regardless of Drinciple or consistency.
BAII.EY, of Texas, is a blunderer. Wm. E. Curtis in the Chicago Record, says: "It would seem from recent developments in Cuba that the Democrats might find a better argument for their campaign speeches than to censure the Piesident and the Repubicans in congress for refusing to recogniza the Cuban republic and for declining to turn that island over to the insurgents. Mr. Bailey dwells upon this point in every one of his speeches. He has a record of the proceedings in both houses on the Cuban question, and Bhows the number of times 'the Democrats tried to secure the recognition of the Gomez government and were prevented by the {Republicans, although almost everybody in both parties now admits that we had a narrow escape on this issue, and that President McKinley is entitled to great credit for his firmness in preventing such a blunder. The only regret on this score is found among the ownors of Cuban bonds and the members of the junta, who have lost the fat salaries they were paid from the contributions made to free their countrymen."
COLONEL BRYAN will not resign and not make any silver speeches la this campaign, because the wise men of the silver combination have decided that their chances to elect a silver congress are muchbetter if they keep quiet about it in most places, than if they should allow Bryan to carry around that cross of gold and crown of thorns and arouse not only the silver people, but the friends of sound and honest money as well. Bryan muzzled is just now much more valuable to the united Popocracy than Bryan turned loose.
GEN. JOE WHEELER, ex-confederate, free silver congressman, and a hero of the Spanish war, stated before the investigating committee on Tuesday: "I failed to see anything in Cuba of which a true 6oldier should complain." The Indianapolis Sentinel and its local supplement should publish General Wheeler's testimony in stud horse type along side that of plug Carstensen, the sufferer of Chickamauga.
New Hook By Mrs. Wallace.-' "Along the Bosphorus," by Mrs. Susan E. Wallace, wife of General Lew Wallace, is the title of a volume soon to be issued, Mrs. Wallace is known to possess something like the literary gift of her famous husband, and her residence in Turkey, while General Wallace was minister from the United States to that country, enabled the accumulation of many new and interesting facts regarding the curious life of Turkish society.

WAB INVESTIGATION
General Joseph Wheeler Gives HisObservations On the Campaign.
CONDITIONS AT MONTADK
location of the Camp Was Poor Wag Transportation Facilities—"No Army on Earth Was Ever So Abundantly Supplied Witb Necessaries and Luxuries."
Washington, Oct. 5.—General Joseph Wheeler, testifying before the war investigation commission yesterday, said in part: "The sleeping apartments of the transports were quite warm and there was some discomfort. I often went down among the men at night and found that there was comparatively little complaint, except for
the heat."
Coming back from Santiago to Montauk he had sailed ou the Miami, having chosen it because it was said to be the worst. He had found it very comfortable, and when they landed there were only 34 sick, and only three or four of these were too ill to stand up for inspection. There was plenty of water on the vessel and a sufficiency of ice for the sick, though not for others. After the destruction of Cervera's fleet the army was more abundantiy supplied then any army in the field had ever been.
He said in reply to a question that the tents had been let't ou board the transports so no time should be consumed in removing them. "We were there for business," he said, "and we felt that prompt disembarkation and a speedy movement to the rout would impress the enemy more than anything else we could do."
There was also a shortage at this time of transportation facilities. The deficiency of transportation after tho lauding was the reason why the tents were not brought up, why the siege guns were not brought up and why many other things were uot done.
After a recess, General Wheeler devoted his testimony chiefly to his experience at Camp Wikoff, Montarik Point.
The president, oil giving him command there, had ordered him to spare no pains cr expense to make the men comfortable. He found it necessary to undertake much preparations to care for the men properly, to bore wells, lay water pipes, build laundries, disinfecting plants, get floors for the tents, erect hospitals, etc.
The surgeons, at his request, had made a list of special articles to be purchased for the sick. This he had asked them to do in obedience to the president's directions. The list included evaporated fruits, green corn in cans, sugar cured hams, oat meal, fish, ice, canned peas, prunes, soups, pickles, lemons, oranges, eggs, tea, milk aud many other articles in addition to their regular rations.
The people came with many kinds of food, "and I undertake to say," he declared, "that no army on earth was ever ao abundantly supplied with necessaries or luxuries."
The general location and the transportation facilities of the camp were poor. There was but one line of railroad, and that a single track and without adequate terminal facilities.
There were good hospitals erected, but there was a scarcity of nurses. He immediately wired for nurses and within five or six days there was an abundance. The hospital tents were, he said, all floored. The patients were laid upon mattresses, ou the floor, and were supplied with clean bed linen. From first to last, 10,000 patients entered the hospitals at Montauk. The hospitals' had, when he landed, a capacity of not to exceed 900 and, so far as he knew, the hospital had up to this time been equal to the demands upon it.
Red tape methods were entirely abolished and the demands of the meu were met as soon as they were properly voiced.
AGONCILLO.
Report Tluit the President Declined to See Agtihiald
O'H
Agent.
Washington, Oct.. o.—A report was current last night that the Philippine agent Agoncillo, who recently arrived in this country, representing the insurgent government, had been refused recognition by the president. It was impossible, however, to obtain from any authoritative source information on the subject. Agoncillo aud his interpreter, Lopez, visited the state department yesterday, where they had an interview with Assistant Secretary Adee. Previous to his visit, to the department Agoncillo, it is learned, had received from his government at Malolos the instructions which he has been awaitiug here for some time, and which came only after three separate requests for them had been cabled to the insurgent government. Mr. Lopez, in speaking in behalf of his chief, refused to make any statement bearing on the report that the insurgents are not to have any recognition before the Paris comuiis^ sion, but would only go so far as to admit that the instructions awaited by
Agoncillo had been received. The agent's arrangements, while yet incomplete, contemplate his departure for New York during the present week Thence he will go to Paris, but just when he refuses to say.
