’Mlsery may not love company, but
usually has plenty of it. By impover-
ishfng pastures the remarkably dry
summer has so diminished the flow
of milk to cause almost a famine in
‘En‘gland. The problem of supply is
f a very serious one in the large cities.
Prices have advanced. at the least,
to winter rates—«about 15 per cent
above the ordinary—and only regular
customers can get sufficient milk. and
they not always. In some localities
prices have nearly doubled. Cheap ad-
ulteronts are often used to increase
the quantity dispersed by the milkmen.
The boys in this country don’t have
all the good things. Rifle shooting
will hereafter be included in the cur-
riculum of the elementary schools of
Great Britain. Mr. Blrrel. the presi-
dent of the Board of Education. who
made the announcement in the. House
of Commons, said that the education-
al authorities had been given permis-
sion. under certain restrictions, to al-
low children of certain ages
to be taught. to shoot at miniature
ranges. the instruction to be paid out
offthe public funds.
Boston will do a gracious act in re-
turning to the city of New Orleans the
flag that General Ben Butler took from
years ago. The old Confederate em-
blem has been repaired by sympathe-
tic hands and its return will undoubt-
edly be the occasion for a big demon-
stration in the Crescent‘City.

Because of the apparent misunder-
standing in portions of the country of

colored troops recently stationed here.

Nettleton. obelcag‘o. former assistr

on business. to make in his own way a
thorough and disinterested investiga-
tion of the Brownsville riot of August
General Nettleton has embodied his
findings in a letter to the Secretary
of War. He says in part:
“As a citizen of Illinois. as an anti-
slavery advocate when that phrase had
a meaning. and as a veteran who serv.
ed in the Union army throughout. the
Civil War, I shall at least not be sus-
pected of prejudice against men of
color.
“Without rehearsing details, I wish
to assure you that this absolutely un-
p‘rejudlced investigation, made after
local'excitement has subsided, 'con-
firms in every particular the conclu-
sions reached by the two army officers
sent here by the War Department on
the strength of which the president.
took his action. as well as'tiic clear
and temperate statement. published im~
mediately after the tragedy by Chair-
man Kelly, of the Brownsyllle Cili-
zens’ Committee.
“It ls-well attested by evidence that
the colored troops were treated here
with the some consideration with

which soldiers of like hearing are
treated in most. garrison towns of the;
Northern States. That on the other,
hand, the, street. conduct of some. of.
them was often aggressively and1
causelessly lnsolenl. toward white men i

the night of the paid and closes thus:
"In view of the facts as I find them
here. the persistent attempt on the
part of some to make martyrs of any
portion of the discharged men would
be appalling if it was not; grotesque,
The conspiracy of silence on the part
of all members of the battalion pre-

that of championing or cxcusing the
