Six months, "Hirec months LU-. - - "" P2.00 . i.ito: .50: ASSOCIATION THE WAK AND THE UKOft'LS. Many a journal has turned j with a L'h from the story of the breaking down of the commissary com-missary department of ournnny to h.ay '"it would have bet ii so different had 'it been England: the ro would have been no such mistakes." Mat tlie. liiili-li nation na-tion was a I In 'Hand years old and more, it had kept a l,ir;;e Htumlin army for hundreds ul j years, when the Crimean war cam on, and then as now her navy was tquai to mai oi any two or three nations ot the nations ot the world outside. But alter pnd-j iog six months in preparation. when Ht last her soldiers, mid (here were hut a lew thousand of them, were landed in Crimea, their sufferings were immense und thousands more died of disease dis-ease than fell under ail the thunders of the Uedan and Mai nkoff. The declaration of war was in the last days of April, tha surrender of Santiago was on th Fourth of July, about ten weeks after tho declaration There is nothing in Engli-h history his-tory like that, nothing in any other history like it, for while of the troops at Santiago some were regular army soldiers, very many, two months before had been occupied in field or store, or office, nut dreaming of war, hu 1 altogether untrained in its duties. Hut men look upon the ghastly faces of (he returning nick audolamn the government Part of this is just, for there whs neither sense nor humanity in herding volunteer soldiers by the tens of thousands, in great rumps, but for the sick in Cuba, the charges und denunciations are out of place, for eminent specialists on malaria declare that if soldiers go to the tropics in rainy seasons, dig trenches and sleep in them, 95 per cent will be sick. The boys on San Juan hill not only dug trenches but slept in them night ufter night; with fierce tropical showers by day and night. Moreover, they heeded not one preenutionay injunction; they drunk water in all the si reams, ate fruit whenever ahtiiioubie, were careless of the rain nnd the dew, though any person familiar with tho situation would have told ihem that they would surely bo ill. All who went to California via Panama or Nicariguo know something of that climate. It ii true that the natives of the highlands of Costa lit cm mixed Spanish, Indian end negro every year when they carry the crop down to the sea shore, though they stay there but a single night, lose by fever a large percentage of all who go. Before there was any s.ckuess in Shafter's army a gentlmau was here who has been much in the tropics, and when he read that the soldiers had dug trenches and were sleeping in them, he said: "They will nearly all die; those who do not will be half-helpless invalids for yeurs to come." The blame ii not all on the war department. But speaking of England's way; she had her annual maneuvers the other day on the plains of Salisbury, and though England is but half the siza of Utah, tho commissary broke down utterly, and the soldiers had to look to the people living near for food. That docs not mitigate any mistakes made on our side, but it does how that our country does not contain all tho incompetents. We hope that this year's experience experi-ence will lead to changes in various directions eo that should another emergency arise no one man, no matter how competent, cm hold tho dinner buckets of the army iu his hand.

A hundred years ago, when protection at sea wart wa-rt paramount American policy, the above proportions were ai. most exactly reversed and over 00 per cent, of American com merce came and went in Yankee ships The proportions of 1708 should bo restored. It will take years to do it, but for that very reason the operation of reversal should be commenced without delay. There is no time to lose. W. L. Roe nnd the Nephi Republic have become intensely Democratic. The polygamy question is going lo get a good stirring up any way. If no one is guilty uo ono will get hurt .The Bee. The Democrats on Wednesday nominated lion. B. II. Roberts for congress nnd Hon. R. N Buskin for associate justice of t he supreme court. The Republicans of this stale have placed in nomination for congress Hon. Alma Kldredge and for justice of the supreme court Hon. Charles M Zine. Tho Democratic "platform adopted at Salt Lake last Wednesday was a pitiful effort in the extreme. It reaffirms its auc-ent doctrines, and is re tnarkable in llio absence of any specific issue by which it might expect to go before, the people with any degree of respectability. Spain lies an inarticulate mass, with muzzled press and silent, apathetic people, while her law givers nrrange to yield up her ancient colonies. She is aptly personified in her aged, helpless premier, nnd calls forth the pity of the nations in her bound and stricken condition. con-dition. Post Dispatch. For once in its history the Republican party has faltered in Uip heat of battle and cowardly evaded tho issue bo-fore bo-fore this people. The Republican Republi-can slate convention has borrowed Democratic and Populist Popu-list plumes with which to bedeck itself in this fight for local offices, when it declared for free silver in the state convention con-vention last week. The Re publicans have no moro right to lay aside the St. Louis plat-form plat-form and remain Republicans than would a Christian have to be called a Christian after he had denounced the divinity of his Great Redeemer. There seems to bo n disposition disposi-tion on the part of some of the press to roast the war depart ment at Washington for all the troubles that have come upon ihe volunteer soldiers since the active hostilities have cea-ed. Tint Secretary Alger and his subordinates may to be blame is possible, but the facts remain re-main that quite all the (lealhs are due to tho volunteers themselves. them-selves. Thoy have been to.) lax in discipline and in obeying orders. The regular army has endured the same hardships and its members have come out with an extremely small iss of life in comparison with the death roll among the volun teers. Ordiisaiiliy it would I lake Iroin s; mouths to a year for a northern man to become acclimated in Cuba. In the present trouble, men have a bile in a weakened condi:ion become exposed to disease due to their carelessness. They were ordered to leave th?Cubui fruits alone and they disobeyed the orders of their officers. Added to this the water wa-unii'ormly wa-unii'ormly poor. The whole question is to be made the subject of a military invesliga-iio:i, invesliga-iio:i, That mistakes havu been :ii.id? tl e.'e can be no doubt, and thai iiicoin pelent men h ive been appointed in certain instances seems to be ids) true. However, the press which thret mouths ago was denouncing Mclvinley because ho did not rush the volunteers then ton certain death, with no preparation prepara-tion and no hospitil organize lion, had now better reserve i heir criticism till we know who the rascals are. It is not right to confound tho innocent with the guilty. The Readick Dramatic company com-pany held the boards at the opera hou-o Tuesday evening and preseide 1 the four-act molo-drama molo-drama "Forgiven." From start to finish the acting went with an even smoothness which has not been seen in any company on the theatre boards for a long time. Mr Readick in ihe leading lead-ing part was superb, in fact it is a wonder to us that an actor of his calibre should condescend to visit towns smaller than Salt, Luke, "Forgiven" is full of l interesting and complicated parts and the fact that no hilch wus noticed is a very good criterion that tho acting was thorough in that every member of the company knew their parts thoroughly. The singing of the leading holy nnd of the baritone of tho company was gieatly appreciated by those who were present, and which was testified to by the frequent rounds of applause. The house was a fairly good one for the first night. We can highly recommend Frank Readiek whenever ho goes, not only aa a gentleman but as one who is well up in his profession. Nephi Republic.

TOHACC!)' j Tobacco is a highly narcotic j and poisonous plant; a native of America, but now grown in j ahno-t all parts of the world. j The most important active' principle in tobacco is nicotine, which in its pure form is a ! powerful poison Two droos of' this powerful drug will cause j spi-cdy death iu any person not 1 habituated to the use of tobacco! and a single drop is sufficient; to kill a Jrabhit in three and a j half minutes. I The effects produced by the1 u-e of tobacco as com nion I v ! eirp'oyed, either by smoking or chewing, are of two cla--.est. i acu'c and chronic. The j primary or acuta syinttons are j those usually experienced In j novices on tlieiriirst indulgence I iu the weed. They const (f fa i n i ii ess , nausea, inddities-s. vomiting, trembling, coldness ot me (. i rem 1 1 1 es, a clammy iAeat, loss of power in the liinlis and general museulai and nervous pros! rat ion. The.-.e effects, however, soon pass off, and if the lent nor fool ishly per-usls in the use of the poison he soon becomes habit uated lo its action, and instead of suffering as at first he experiences a son so of depression de-pression when not under its influence, and has a continual craving "hich leads him to habitual in iuig -iice, thus pre paring tho way tor the chroni-effects. chroni-effects. These are of a much more serious and permanent nature, ami are not usually experienced ex-perienced to any m.irned degree until the victim has smoked or chewed to a considerable extent ''or ten or more years. The use of tobacco by children prevents the prop i nutrition and growth of the bo, ics, thus rendering them weak and liable to injury and deformity. The use of tobacco by young persons and even older person-produces person-produces weakened muscular power, attend d with irregular :ck;on. The skin of young cigarette smokers often becomes unhealthy and of a sallow hue. Tobacco ciin in no sense be considered a food, and is in jurious to digestion, when used in chewing or smoking it excites the salivary glands, causing an increased flow of saliva. In their over woiked condition the salivary glands no longer secrete healthy saliva, but. a watery fluid deprived of much of its property con verting starch into sugar. This frequently impairs digestion and dyspepsia results. The excessive use of tobacco can be clearly demonstrated by the examination of a properly spread slide of blood. In such cases red corpuscles will be found to be erenated; that is tho corpuscle instead of possessing possess-ing I ho absolute regularity of margin noticed in heal.h, will present a series of scallops somewhat irregular in their distribution. dis-tribution. A few such erenated corpuscles, iu the pro-porting pro-porting ol one to three hundred and fifty occur in normal health but in tobacco blood the ratio is often as high as one to ten and sometimes attairts a much larger proportion. Wheu the piitien.t is otherwise healthy a number of erenated corpuscles in this blood may safely be ascribed to the excessive use of tobacco, opium or some narcotic, and it is then necessary to stop their use.
