It is lit by electricity, and heated by steam, and has a be&ntiful garden attached to it .His chiliren have their pianos, bicycles and expen­ sive toys; his wife can dress in costly silks; and he himself has, in irony cases, his cosy, well-«qnipped library, and even a billiard table. "He can send his family to tke sea­ side for the summer months, and give his children the beat education which money can command. Many of these men keep carriages; and it is quite common to see a well dressed man drive to the works in a neat carriage, with a cunningly contrived and well- filled luncheon basket." • This writer says it is Hot surprising to learn that many of the American work­ men in the iron mills have saved for­ tunes amounting to several thousand dollars and he cites the instance of one man, Mr. James McCloskey, who has saved and invested his wages as an iron "roller" until he now has an annu­ al income of $5,000 a year. Mr. Mc­ Closkey has started all of his sons in business, and his daughter, after a thorough training at Vassar, is now finishing her education by a tour in Europe. The article then goes on to say: "Nor has the summit of their pros­ perity yet been reached. Only a few months ago wages advanced 22 per cent within a few weeks, and it. is thought that still higher wages are in early prospect" Of course such men as this Mr. Mc­ Closkey are few and far between in the United States, but where is there anoth­ er country that can show laboring men drawing such wages as are paid in the United States? The fact that this Lon­ don paper takes its hat off to the Amer­ ican workman is a rare tribute. PROBA TE NEWS ; LOYAL TO THE PA3T V.

Turner, colonel of the Fiftt Illinois regiment during the war with Spain and in command of the Second brigade, Third divison of'the Fifth Army corps in the Santiago cam­ paign, has written an open letter to ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, in which he takes the latter to task for the at­ tack he made on the military record of Governor Roosevelt in a speech at Toledo, O., recently. The letter dif­ fers from Altgeld's speech in that it is written in perfect good temper, but Colonel Turner, who by the way, is an old time Democrat, not only shows that Governor Roosevelt's course at Santiago was deserving of all the praise which has been given it, but that the attacks made on him by Dem­ ocrats are all utterly without founda­ tion. The letter Is headed, "Was Colonel Roosevelt a Tin-Plate Hero?" and at the start (Colonel Turner says to Gov­ ernor Altgeld: "You challenged his patriotism, his maliness, his truthful­ ness, and his right to a place in history as a real soldier and a brave man." The colonel comments on the fact that when the Democrats nominated McClellan and Hancock for the presi­ dency they recognized the fact that a soldier was not necessarily debarred from political honors and their candi­ date now, like Colonel Roosevelt, was also a colonel of volunteers in the Spanish war. "Is William J. Bryan a tin-plate sol­ dier also?" itsks the writer. "Is the man who saw real fighting to be con­ demned while the man who saw none is to be exalted? Was Colonel Bryan's service more valuable to the country than Colonel Roosevelt's that you would exalt the one and deenr. the other?" N» M Pompom " Posing. Then taking up the cry of Governor Altgeld that Roosevelt's desire to en­ ter the army was a case of "pompous posing" and "strenuous strutting" Col­ onel Turner says: "Why did the boys of Illinois crowd our regiments to overflowing? Why did any of us go? Why did Colonel Bryan go? For the same reason that Colonel Roosevelt went. It was a genuine, devoted love of country and sense of duty that actuated all alike. If there were mingled with our thoughts any visions of glory, they were common alike to all, and gilded the sleep of the dreamer of Nebraska just as often as they did that of Col­ onel Roosevelt." Continuing, the letter draws atten­ tion to the fact that Colonel Itoosevelt at the start refused the command of the regiment, insisting that It be given to a trained soldier like General Wood, and then, in refutation of the charge that he saw no fighting, the letter says that at Las Gnasi mas Colonel Roose­ velt was at the head of his troops, which there saw heavier fighting than any other regiment engaged. Its loss was 16.1 per cent., the heaviest of any of the regiments engaged, and, says Colonel Turner, "no tinplate hero ever stood in the front line when death was rolling up a 16.1 per cent, loss." In the entire war the heaviest loss of any regiment was that of the Sixth Regular infantry, 24.9 per cent., and Colonel Roosevelt's Rough Riders come second with 22.2 per cent. Did Not Shoot Hitu in the Back. The charge that Roosevelt was blood­ thirsty is also denied and the accu­ sation that he had shot a Spaniard in the back is denied in toto. Says the letter: "Here are the acts: In the charge on San Juan hill, as Colonel Roosevelt rushed on the trenches two Spanish soldiers armed with Mauser rifles, leaped up, fired at ten yards' distance, then, still armed and unconquered, started for the rear. As they tired and were turning the Colonel, armed only with his revolver, shot one in the left breast and killed him. "Under such circumstances neither Colonel Roosevelt nor any other sol­ dier could do anything else and do his duty. Here was an active, unwound- ed, unsurrendered enemy, driven from his first line, hurrying to And a new point of defense from which to renew the fight. A complete reply to your criticism is that any soldier in the sit­ uation of this Spaniard has a perfect defense in prompt surrender. You know that ever since the war began it has been a foundation principle of military science to break your enemy's lines, then crush and destroy htm as he runs away. It was the corps of General Hancock, the Democratic presidential candidate, the bravest of the brave, which poured shot, shell and musket balls into the backs of Pickett's broken division at Gettys­ burg. It was General Lawton, than whom no braver man or truer Demo­ crat ever lived, whose troops on that same field of Santiago, shot down in heaps, the Spaniards as they ran from El Caney." ^ 8ay» RooMveit Told Troth.
