IF Mr.. Randall is to be candidate for
the next speakership, as some of his en-
thusiastic admirers insist, says the Wash
ington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun, that gentlemen himself is not aware
of he fact. Long before the adjournment
of the last House Mr.. Randall became en-
tirely satisfied that it was useless for him
to cherish any ambition in this direction
He has seen nothing up to his time to in
duce him to change this conclusion, nor is
he likely TO see anything in the future.
The talk Of Mr.. Randall being the a min
is'ration candidate Is simply idle vapor-
ing The administration is not going to
tie itself to Mr.. Randall's kite, and if it
could be guilty of such an act it would
not help either itself Oh HIM one whit. A
prominent journal friendly to Mr.. Randall
has just given utterance to the assertion if
he is not the next Speaker he will be the
chairman on The committee on appropria-
tions and the leader of the House Mr..
Randall will not be the next Speaker nor
tie leader of the next House, though he
may be the chairman of the committee on
The large majority of the
House democrats, between whom and Mr..
Randall there is no other party bond than
that embraced in sentimental politics, in
tend to see to it that, whether chairman
of the committee on appropriations or any
other committee, he shall not have the
power to control and thwart legis alton
which he possessed in the last House
This may be relied upon as absolutely
certain.

Gen. Grant had 30 far recovered on Mon
day that he took a drive through the city
and the parks, walking unaided and with
a firm step to and from his carriage. The
remark able reaction in his case and the
renewed vitality which he seems now to
be gathering, after his physicians had re
ported his case AS hopeless and anlonnc-
ed that he was upon the verge OF death,
are a further demonstration of the fact
that the medical science is still far from
an exact one. Napoleon used t. compare
the medical practitioner to Il watchm .ker
who attempted to repair watch which
he could not open. He said that while
with his crooked instruments searching
for the cause of the trouble, he would be
likely to do irreparable harm TO some q
the sound machinery. 1t is not improba-
ble that the Old hero of Appomattux, up
on whose banner good luck perchrd wit,
more unswerving constancy than even up
ON that of the great Clptain of the Frencl
armies, cntertains similar opinion wi
regard to the medical gentlemen. Will,
much that is uncharit.ble and great deal
th~t is unjust, is certainly said against the
disciples nt Ecu apius. like snm. other
public benei ,ctors; yet it is an un1c1i4-
Die fact that the medical scieac, is sti To

The courtmartial proceedings in the
public on Friday last The sentence is
reprimand, which is made by the Presi-
dent as follows: "The proceedi gs, iod
ings and sentence in the case of Brig. Gen.
VIM. B. Hazen, chief signal officer, U. s.
A , are hereby approved. 10 giving effect
to the sentence of the court martial it is to
be observed that the more exalted the
rank held by an officer of the army the
greater is the responsibility resting upon
him to afford through his own subordina-
tion 10 his superior officers an example to
others who may be OF, inferior rank in the
service. To an officer OF fine sensibilities
the mere fact of being brought to trial be-
modification and punishment. In the
foregoing case the accused, whose high
rank and long experience in the service
should have inspired him with full rea-
lization of that respect for constituted au-
thority which is essential to military dis
cipline, has been adjudged guilty of in
dulging in unwarranted and captious crit
icism of his superior officer, the Secretary
of War, thereby setting pernicious ex-
ample subversive OF discipline and the In
terests of the service. Subordination is
necessarily the primal duty of soldier,
whatever his grade may be. In losing
sight of this principal the accused has
brought upon himself the condemnation
of his brother officers who examined the
charges against him, and seriously impair
ed his own honorable record of previous
conduct. 1t is to be hoped that the lesson
will not be forgotten" Gen. Hazen will be
released from arrest and assume the duties
of his Office.

The prospect of war in Europe is still
not entirely dispelled. The latest advices
report that Sir Peter Lumsden, the British
minister, fatty contradicts Gen. Komaroff
in his account of the engagement on the
Afghan frontier and in the light of the
disclosures made by his official commu-
nication it seems difficult to see how Eng
land can honorably avoid conflict of
arms, unless Russia shall make some re-
traction and a proper apology for the ag-
gressive action of Gen. Komaroff 1t does
not at present seem likely that Russia will
make any retractien. as her attitude thus
far has been decidedly frmer than that of
England. Warlike preparations still con-
tinue to be made on both sides and the
British government has asked an appro-
priation of S32, 100000 for war purposes
At the present writing war still seems
strongly probable and the grain market
continues firm.

long been prominent in republican poll

president of the Maryland Republican As

partment employees, all of which mys,eri-
ously disappeared into utter oh 'ivion after

Frederick Douglas, in his address at the
emancipation celebration in Washington
on last Friday night, ate up to the last
crumb every particle of the unjust and un-
true insinuations which he was so lavish
in casting at President Cleveland during
the last campaign. Whether this whole

the fact that Mr.. Douglas holds the most
profitable office in the District OF Co 'umbia
is not so material as that such man as he
now stands up before the people of his
