Show ASTOUNDING MISCONCEPTION. Tne Denv;-r Times thus comments on ! the res-jluti.in offered in tht senate by 'fcnat.,r Ptttigrew for an in vt stigatioix ' and report upon the conduct of the war with Spain: Some of the statesman in on giv c-isi n rot demanding an investigation and a n-Irt n-Irt upon the conduct of the war with pain. If there is any occasion for stic'a an investigation the Timf Nr"spot full v suggesfts that the investigation be made from a comparative- standpoint. H s- suggested, that the work of ttrn American general a.nd th.;. Amerl-oam soldier be rer.-orted upon a. eomrvared with the record of the British officer and men in their war with the Doers, now in progress. It is. not conrten.le.li that the comparison -is in any sene material, ma-terial, but it may have the effect of ftj-lencing ftj-lencing some of the eaptiouw crl'tiest who have been finding fault, without apparent cause, with, every movement of the administration, and every activii of the generals in the field. Such a new ondit uoon the men in comm-.m.!: of the American forces i'rt Cuba. Porto l.'ica and in the Philinpinet,, and add new laure'R to the crown that already adorn th brow of the American volume vol-ume r smldier. The above p pa graph displays such an amazing misconception t'na:t cauvn one to marvel how a loading journal could have fallen, into it. Senator Pet-tigrew's Pet-tigrew's resolution has no concern with the volunteer soldier, nor the America u commanding officer. It has t do simp- I ly with the management of that war as it was carried on by the civilian's im Washington. It is possible in view of all the develop-meTiitB about Algerized. beef and svnaitorial nepr-tirn. not to speak of fraternal pulls, that any I journal will consider S.Tafnr Perti-grew's Perti-grew's resolution out of place. Th editorial writer in the Denver Times ebvi-ous'.y failed to read the Petri grew resolution before writing his comment. |
