Sherman and Sheridan.

On the first of November General W. T.
Sherman retired from the command of the
Army of the United States, and was sue
ceeded by Northumberland Phillip II.
Sheridan. There was no elaborate cefe-
mony about this transfer of command. 1t
was completed with Republican simplicity
quite in keeping with the spirit of our insti-
buttons. General Sheridan went to Wash
ington from Chicago and called upon Gen.
eral Sherman. Together they called on the
Secretary of war. The proper orders were
promulgated. A call was made upon the
President, after which General Sheridan at
army headquarters received the army officres
who called to pay their respects. The
whole business was transacted quietly with
out parade, ostentation, or excitement in the
army or out Of it.
General Sherman now leaves the Capitol
to make his home in st. Louis, a city for
which he has peculiar liking. He will be
much missed in official and social circles
where his frank, hearty, unassuming and
unpresuming character have made him
hosts Of personal friends. In manners he
has always been as much a man of the people
as if he were politician dependent on their
favor and votes for his position. Once there
was a commander of the army whose lofty
bearing and absurd insistance upon cere-
monious respect won for him the nickname
of sold Fuss-and- Feathers" Noone would
think of applying such name to General
Sherman whose military achievements have
ranked him with the great captains of the
world and made his name famous forever.
General Sherman has never given evil
dence of ambition for political office, and
on that account he has had the confidence
and courtesy of all the people. 1t is under
stood that General Grant has more than
once given expression to his regret that he
ever consented to exchange the Office of
General of the Army for that of President.
The former position was congenial, honor
able and, after the war, free from wearing
responsibilities, and from the malicious
attacks of partisan rancor. If General
Sherman had cherished any ambition for
political preferment, it would have been
known loug ago, for he is a person of an
irrepressible tendency to blurt out whatever
he is thinking about with little consideration
of Its effect upon himself. He is the farthest
from beinga cunning man and is entirely
destitute of the art of concealment as of
the art of insincerity. He has said and
written much, and not always wisely or
justly; but he has never done anything
which has shaken the confidence of the
people in his character or forfeited their
sincere respect. He has had a kind
Of privilege to say whatever he pleased

One of the novelties of the Massachusetts
election will be the patent ballot box which
is to be used in Boston precincts. The box
works with crank like hand organ. Ev-
cry ballot, face down, is drawn into the box
between rollers, and before reaching the
bottom of the box receives across it's face
two continuous lines and two impressions
of number of letters which render scratch
ing and erasing of names after the ballot has
been placed ia the box easy of detection.
Minute directions accompany each box, and
an officer must be q blunderer if he cannot
work the crank properly. In addition to
marking the ballot, the box registers the
number deposited. No ballots can be re-
moved till the polls are closed, but at GER
tain times policeman is allowed in the
presence of the election officers to open the
box and pack down the ballots so as to make
room for more. The box is proof against
fraud so far as casting the ballots and count
ing them is concerned.

1t is something new. and refreshing as new, to
have vigorous defence of Metaphysical Studies
like that in DIR. Rowland G. Hazards two discour-
SEES on "Man Creative First Cause.' OF late the
tide has set SO strong in the direction of physical
phenomena that metaphysics, all that comes after,
or is quite beyond physical phenomena has been in
danger of being overlooked and forgotten In these
lectures, before the Concord School, 1922 Mr.
Hazard eulogizes Metaphysics as source of intel
lectual vigor and culture. The pleasure which
such inquiries afford would be sufficient reason for
cultivating them But this is not their only, nor
yet their chief claim to our regard. They furnish
the key to all higher knowledge of man and the uni
verse; Here only can we ad equatey handle such
topics as cause, right duty, substance and being.
Above all, we discover that man is himself mi-
crocoSm, au epitome and image of the universe. He
has creative WILL therefore, he is free and exhib-
its the image of God This question of the will re-
ceives elaborate treatment. Edwards is reviewed
and from point of criticism. All clergymen
cannot fail to read with interest Mr. Hazards cYiti-
que of New England's greatest theologian and met
aphyscian. And we may regard these lectures as
proof that taste for philosophy is not extinct, and
also as an suspicious sign that metaphysical talent
is to be found in our New England sages and sa-
vans. pleasant feature of these lectures is the
prominence given to the moral element of our ma
ture. Mr.. Hazard agrees with Kant as to the su-
premacy of this element and throughout the discus
sion he appears absolute idealist, reg arding
mind as before matter, above it and it. in all
things.

To the average reader, Macaulay's History will
long remain the most interesting as 1t is the most
striking narrative of the rise of Englands greatness
as political and social power. The task which
Macaulay proposed to himself was to depict in a
graphic style the political contest with the Stuarts
which had its issue in the Revolution of 1888 and
the estabishmentlof constitutional government con-
trolled by Parliament; also to show how rapid and
marvellous was the prosperity which ensued to the
people and realm. Macaulay executed his plan
with extraordinary ability though his life was cut
short before its completion Professor Seeey is also
an author of high repute the bent of whose mind is
to trace effects to their icause and phenomena to
their principles. Accordingly in these lectures
(two university courses) he exhibits the hidden
springs of Englands greatness with special refer
to her colonial growth and expansion in every
quarter of the globe. For the American reader, he
gives undue prominence to the conquest and admin
istration of India. But what he says of England's
colonies their origin and development, will not fail
to interest English speaking people wherever found
Professor Seeley makes frequent references to the
United States pointing many a moral. One of
them is that our federal principle must be adopted
in binding all the colonies to the Mother Country,
or England will soon be dstanced in the race. Fifty
years hence he says, Russia and the United States
will be the two great powers of the civilized world
England, France, and Germany, must put in opera
ton some federal scheme, or they will be at the
mercy of their colossal rivals in less than half
century.
The second volume of Professor Aliens learned,
and important work on Christian history relates to
the second period, or ''the Middle Ages" by some
called the Ages of Faith; by others, the Dark Ages.
BY whatever name called, it is fact that though
nearer in time in thought they are farther removed
from us and our sympathies than the classical ages
of Greece and Rome. That is to say, the tone of
thought prevalent to-day is more classical than me-
dieval Our methods also more like theirs, is
the freedom with which we handle all questions.
Society was founded on the feudal principle in the
middle ages, and the church was something fixed
and immovable. 1t is the aim of the author to pre-

The ..Royal American.n

During the Investigation of the Foreman muir
der case, before Coroner Maxwell, yesterday,
some OF the officers of the "Royal American
Benevolent Association" were examined. While
they knew nothing that would throw any
light ON the murder of the Foremans, their testi-
mony is of interest as showing the business
methods of the company. The testimony estab-
lshed the fact that the company operated pre-
cisely as the Journals exposure of it several
weeks ago said it did. Wilbur l.. Royse, the SEQ
rotary, testified that all the books ana papers,
except single day-booR, were in the possession
Of his father, at Topeka, Kan, and that W hen
any policy holder came in to pay an assessment
or premium, he simply took the money and for
warded it to his father. He said the company
had written about $500 policies since Sept 10,
1882. He himself held policy the late
William Wies, who lived near Traders Point.
and two other men also held policies on him.
There were also several policies issued on the
life of David Beard, near louisville, two months
before his death. Young Royse said the Royal
American" insured without medical exanina-
ton, and that the insured did not even know
that the policies had been taken out. E. r.
Payne, who was also an agent of the company,
testified concerning several policies on Maria
Bannon. aged seventy-six, of Madison, who did
not know that they were issued. The "Royal
American" is evidently cheerful institution.
