General Crook the great Indian fight
er, gave the graduating cadets at West
Point a sensible talk on their gradua-
tion, which they will do we'll to heed.
He told them that the greatest fault of
young soldiers was "idleness and mental
Incidence" and he warned them against
the temptations which follow such lazi-
ness. He also told them that they were
citizens, and that this country was made
up of citizens who rightfully were jeal-
GUS of the sword, and only used it as a
necessary evil and last resort. Our ge-
ographical position sheltered us from
foreign aggression, and we have mo
need of armies to repress the tendency
Of the age towards self government;
therefore in the future, as in the past,
the army is likely to be hardly more
than national police, scarcely sufa-
cient to weakly garrison our scattered
frontier posts" He added that even on
the frontier the military would have lit
tie to do, as wars with the Indians are
practically over. It is to be hoped that
the cadets will, in view Of this outlook,
take modest view Of their career and
be willing to conduct themselves like
other citizens,

Diplomatic and Other Changes.

recent Washington special telegram says
There has been considerable shifting around
in the diplomatic service. Congressman
Kasson of Iowa goes to Germany to see If he
can get along with the great chancellor, and
takes with him natural aptitude and long
experience in diplomacy. Elk Attorney Gen.
eral Taft is transferred from Austria to
Russia, and John n Francis, of the Troy
Times, is promoted from Portugal to Austria
Mr.. Francis would have been sent to St
Petersburg but for the fact that New
York already has one frst-cla So

Island goes to Portugal in the place Of
Mr.. Francis The appointments for Alaska
were also made to-day, and Andrew L. Lewis
of Cannons district Illinois, is make clerk

secretary to the secretary of the treasury, is
appointed one of the justices for Dakota and
Leonard Smith of Iowa is the other. This is
great disappointment to Delegate Ray
mond who earnestly urged George P Elan
merry and George a. Hand, who were well en-
dorsed by the bars of their respective dis
tricts George Turner of Alabama is made
associate justice of Washington Territory.
He was the chairman of the Alabama dele
cation to the Chicago convention.
In the long list of the appointments sent
to the senate to-day there is one which Gre
ates considerable amusement, that of Frank
Sperry, to be associate justice of Dakoka
Sperry is young man of about twenty-five
years, but his youthful face and diminutive
stature make him appear as a mere boy. He
has delicate little mutton chop side whiskers,
which look as though they were the first at
tempts at sprouting beard He is alto
gether very insignificant looking youth.
He was admitted to practice at the New
York bar two or three years ago, but through
the influence of George Bliss was appointed
private secretary to Secretary Folger. Con-
sequently he has had no experience in the
practice of the law. 1t is said that he has
been very faithful to the wishes of George
Bliss, and that he has regularly reported to
Bliss the private movements of Folger.

He held that the law was constitutional, but
that debts contracted before the law was made
were not subject to it. contract made after
the law became law was subject 70 it, for all
contracts should have been made with the un-
derstanding of the law, and though it was not
