General Sheridan's Military Plan.

CHICAGO, March 1.-The Military Commit
tee of the House of Representatives having
requested Lieutenant General p H. Sheridan
to supplement his testimony on military af-
fairs, recently given before the committee,
that officer has made the following additional
suggestions. 1t will be seen that he has cut
down the appropriation required by the bill
introduced by Maginnis, from $500, 600 to
$2O0,OOO In view of the immigration to the
Black Hills and the present military expedi-
ton this communication Of the Lieutenant
General has peculiar interest.l
HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION Nls-ot'I1,l
CHICAGO, ILL.,. February rs. 1876. J
The necessity for military posts on the
Yellow stone has been apparent to me for two
years past. and l have recommended their
establishment in ali my reports. 50 strongly
have been convinced Of this necessity that
have at little expense 10 the Government
made an examination of the Yellowstone
should be built. The Indian question in the
Black Hills must now be settled by the estab-
lshmcnt of the Indians on the Missouri river,
and in the accomplishment Of this purpose
the two posts mentioned above will have to
be located, one at or near the mouth of the
Big Horn river, and the other at or near the
mouth Of Tongue river. These posts can be
supplied by steamboat up the Yellowstone
and can be constructed of material found in
in the vicinity of the points selected think
can have them built for $1,000 each; or,
in other words, will try to build both for
$500, 900, instead Of the $500 900 mentioned
in the bill. The Black Hills country will
probably be covered with towns and villages
during the next five or six years. Its value
will cause an extension of the Northern
Pacific Railroad on the south side of the Vel
lowstone as far as the Gallatin valley, in
Montana, and will also build another railroad
from the North Platte station on the Union
Pacific Railroad to the Black Hills I am Of
the belief that the largest deposits of gold are
further west than where the miners are now
working The headwaters of Wind river are
gold bearing. The Owel creek mountains
are gold bearing. The Big Horn valley IS
gold bearing. Powder river is gold bearing,
as also Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone. Be
sides this the Black Hills have abundance of
good timber for the treeless country south of
them and west of the Missouri river The
success of all these interests depends on the
establishment of the two posts named. Mill
tary operations have now been commenced
against the hostile bands of Sioux by request
of the Interior Department, and consider
this appropriation SO necessary that especi-
ally request immediate action on it.

Alexander Hamilton.

Alexander Hamilton was, next to Franklin,
the most cOnsunmatc statesman among the
band OF eminent men who had been active in
the Revolution, and who afterward labored
10 convert u loose confederation of States into
"a national government His mind was as
plastic AS it was vigorous and profound. 1t
WAS the appropriate intellectual expression of
poised nature whose power was rarely OBJ
tvllsivc because it was half concealed by the
harmonious adjustment Of its various facul-
ties 1t was a mind deep enough to grasp
principles. and broad enough to regard rela-
tons and fertile enough to devise measures.
Indeed, the most practical of our early states
men was also the most inventive. He was as
ready with new eXpedents to meet unexpect-
eli emergencies as he was wise in subOrdinat-
ing all cxpcdients to clearly defined princi-
pies In intellect he was probably the most
creative of our early statesmen, as in senti-
meut jefferson was the most widely intluen-
tial And Hamilton was SO bent on practical
ends that he was Indifferent to the reputation
which might have resulted from parade of
originality in the means he devised for their
accomplishment. There never was states
man less egotistic, less dcsirous of labelling
policy as "my" policy; and one of the
sources of his influence was the subtle way In
which he insinuated into other minds ideas
which they appeared to originate. His mod
Grafton, his self-command, the exquisite
courtsey of his manners, the responsiveness
of bis ordinary speech, the fascination of his
extraordinary speech, and the mingled dig
nifty and ease with which he met men of all
degrees of intellect and character, resulted in
making his political partisans look up to him
as almost an object of political alteration. 1t
is difficult to say what this accomplished man
might have done as leader of the Federal
opposition to the Democratic Administrations
of jefferson and Madison, had he not, in the
maturity of his years ana in the full vigor of
his faculties, been murdered by Aaron Burr.
Nothing can better illustrate the folly of the
practice of duelng than the fact that, by
weak compliance with its maxims, the most
eminent of American statesmen died at the
hands OF the mos. Infamous of American
dcmagogues. + Hnrpers -Hagoaiao for F'e1-

GENERAL CHAMBERLAIN, warden Of the
Massachusetts State Prison, in his evidence
before the prison committee of the Legis-
lature, on Friday, said: Il know from my
own knowledge that there exists in the city
of Boston regularly organized society of
criminals, with President, Vice-President,
Secretary and Treasurer. This society has
q regular form of admitting members. The
prison he has graduated from, his offense,
with information in regard to the prison, are
all duly recorded. The society discusses the
most approved plans for burglary, equip
ments, ETC.; they also keep regular register
of the best criminal lawyers in the country,
and of the judges of the courts, and they
know at once what the prospects are for a
brother criminal. If his case comes before
what they call hard judge they raise the
money to secure postponement of the case.
They also have fund for mutual support and
protection, and through this source they are
often able to send delicacies to their brethern

THE LOWER YELLOWSTONE.
Its Grazing. Agricultural, and other At
traCt1OnS.

In late issue of the Chicago Times MIR.
Il. n. Mcguire contradicts some statements
made by an anonymous correspondent,
writing from Kansas, who belittles the lower
Yellowstone country. Wei print the following
| extracts from Maguire's letter:
That this vast undeveloped region will
prove one of the most productive, if not the
greatest small grain country on the continent,
| have not the slightest doubt And it is
superior to Texas or California for grazing.
But let us hear from Gen. Sheridan. In his
annual report, published in the 7inses on the
29th of last November, he tells US he has
studied this country a long time, and he adds:
l feel quite satisfied that all the country
south of the Yellowstone river, from the
Black Hills OF the Cheyenne as far west as
the Big Horn valley, and as far west as Clark 8
fork OF the Yellowstone, is gold-bearing.
This area is also, at many places, well TIM
bered, has many beautiful valleys with good
soil and abundance of running water
know that on the southern tributaries of
the Yellowstone river and in the Big Horn
Mountains there are not only rich gold de-
posts, but also immensely rich silver veins.
And l know, from practical experience,
what constitutes paying mines, of both gold
and silver. The Basin of the Yellowstone is
an updeveloped region of immense extent,
capable, l think, of healthily sustaining a
population of million. And its immense
trade must be directly tributary-frst by the
Yellowstone river, and afterward, when con-
structed, by railway,-to Chicago, increasing
her annual trade many millions.
That the Yellowstone has been "valley
of death to many white men is mournful
fact; at least so prospectors have been murd-
cred along her wild banks and in the Big
Horn mountains in the last ten years. This
explains why her rich mines of gold and
silver have so long lain undeveloped. But the
prospect is at last Frightening. ''Sitting Bull'
and his fierce followers are to-day fighting
their last battles. The Crows-the rightful
owners of that splendid empire of natural
wealth and wonders-are friendly to the
whites, and invite their settlement They
are, and long have been at war with the
Sioux. The Crows and whites united are
masters of the situation; and with the influx
of whites that will take place with the open
ing of spring, scenes of massacre will termi-
nate-''the valley of death" will become the
valley of promise for thousands Of industri-
Gus poor people, whose only hope of becor,-
ing possessed of independent homes is in
availing themselves of the bencfcent provis-
ions of the United States land laws.

a Funny Letter From Lord Dunraven.
DREvooRT HOUSE, FIFTH AVENUE,
New YORK, February 6, 1916.
ITO tho EditOr nf tho World

TO the Editor OF the WOrid.]
SIZE: BY your issue of Saturday las, 1
perceive that spent the previous evening at
Booths Theater, but unless | AIN grievously
mistaken as to my own identity and the po-
sition of my body is space, was listening to
the excellent performance of the San Fran
cisco MINISTRIES during the hours supposed to
have been devoted to ''Julius Cesar Ac-
cording to the pages of certain of your CO.
temporarics, have also since my arrival in
New York elopcd with young lady, danced
ent at an evening reception and lain concealed
pose, in this city, while at the same time |
was, to the best of my own belief, lying i'll
in bed at the Brevoort House.
An Irish member of the British House of
Commons is said to have once remarked that
a man could not be in two places at once,
barring he was bird This occurred some
time ago and the world moves fast. At
present it appears to be only necessary to
reside under the shadow Of the wings of the
American eagle to acquire from that magnan-
imous bird the faculty of being not in two
but in many places at one and the same time.
This gift of ubiquity may be desirable, but it
is inconvenient till one gets accustomed to it.
Matters are getting rather mixed with me,
and if things go on this way, shall be COM
PEELED to hire man to tell me who l am
where am and what particular command
mcnt l am at any given moment breaking.
1t would not be easy to find the right person
to fill such responsible place, for he would
have to be intelligent, well informed, relig-
ous, and ''reliable;" bat no doubt might
eventually procure such an one from the
ranks OF the news purveyors to the public
press of this city. In the meantime should
be glad to avail myself of your columns to
assure my friends and acquantances, who
may have been startled by these reports, that
have left undone all those things I have
done: and also to inform them that l
am never to be found where am, but may
be successfully sought for where l am not.

Memory and Education.

President Stearns, of Amherst College in
q recent lecture before his class, deprecates
the present system Of education as injurious
to the memory. He said the Eiindus trans
mltted without error the three books of the
Nedas, one of which consists of 1,O1O hymns,
through the centuries till SOlomon's time,
about 1000 before Christ, 10y memory alone,
acquiring them from oral instruction thing
which has no parallel at the present day.
The multiplicity of subjects now presented to
the scholar, he thought, rendered the ac-
QUESTION Of retentiye memory next to i'm
possible.

The trade in Imported Birds.

Within the past few years, says the New
York World, the demand for fancy plumage
and singing birds in this country has increased
so rapidly that almost every German steamer
now arriving at New York brings over sew
eral hundred birds. In fact, the business of
importing birds has assumed such large
proportions that one Of the largest bird houses
in New York has four men constantly going
TO and from Europe to take care of their
birds on the passage over. Special small fine
cages just large enough for one bird are pro-
Vidcd, and these are all connected together
and suspended from the ceiling of state
room in order to cconomiZe space. The
closest attention has to be paid to the birds
on the passage over, as many die in transit.
Large sums of money are annually spent in
the purchase Of trained singing birds, whose
musical education involves considerable time
and much patience, all of which is liable to
be lost by very slight negligence.
1t is estimated that during last year alone
there were over 100000 imported into the
United States, of which number about SO,-
900 were German canares. When the
Deutschland went down, 1900 or 1000
cnnaries were among the saved In addition
TO the canaries, large number Of the finch
family. together with gray and brown lnnets
starlings, English and German sparrows,
parrots, Austr .lian paroque.s, ,hrushes, night
glnalcs, and skylarks were also imported
The prices of the birds range from 81 to as
high as 5000, being regulated entirely by the
amount of training received or by the rich
ness of plumage. The German male canary.
