DR.. Leonard last fall showed his lack Of
political sense when he tried to carry re-
publican state for prohibition with Demo-
cratic money, contributed by the liquor deal
ers, for his campaign funds. His course in
denouncing Francis Murphy as knave,
because that most successful temperance
advocate believes in keeping his work free
from politics, is calculated to place him in
the light of democratic conspirator, whose
only interest in the third party movement is
the defeat of the republican party In Ohio.
At the Canton meeting he boldly asserted
that Murphy was being piloted about the
State oy rascals, and in other ill-natured re-
marks showed that his interest in temperance
was simply a political one, and he cared
more for flee than for the principles of the
people he sought TO represent. But the Doe
tor should study the temperance figures In
his State. With democratic money he Sc
cured 80, 600 votes for third party prohibition,
and without money Francis Murphy received
over 100. 900 pledges for individual prohibit
ton. Murphy has majority of three to
one. Chicago Intes Ocean.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--The President
has Withdrawn the following army nomi-
nations made on Feb. s: Lieut.. Col
Nelson B. Switzer to be Colonel. Mai.
Lewis Merrill to be Lieutenant Colonel,
Capt. Edward ). spsulding TO be Major,
First Lieut.. {. Augur to be Captain, and
Second Lieut.. Alonzo J.. OBrien TO bs
First Lieutenant. The action of the
President In Withdrawing this batch OF
nominations OF army officers for promo
tion TO vacancies created by the retire
ment of Col. Hatch Of the Eighth Cavalry
practically settles a very important ques-
tiou ia military promotions. The Presi-
dent, in effect, maintains that an
officer who has been found in
capacitated for active service, though
not yet retired, is not competent TO I'll a
higher position than the one for which
he has been found disqualified. The
promotion upon which the question
hinged was that OF Nal. Lewis Merrill. OF
the Seventh Cavalry, 10 he Lieutenant
Colonel OF the Eighth Cavalry, TO succeed
Lieut.. Col. N. b. switzer, tho immediate
successor OF Col. Hatch. Had MAJ.
Merrill been promoted be would soon
have been retired with the increased rank
and pay OF Lieutenant Colonel. AS the
case now stands, be will be retired as
Major, and the next Major below him,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--In the morning
hour today the House resumed considera-
tion Of the bill authorizing the various
executive departments OF the government
to exhibit certain articles at the New
Orleans Exposition.
Nj, Cannon, Of Illinois, opposed the
bill, though the strongest provision might
be put in relieving the government from
any responsibility in connection with the
exposition. If the exhibit OF the United
States went TO New Orleans the projec-
tors of the enterprise would hold that
IL had received the endorsement of the
government, ana that the honor of the
nation required that an appropriation
should he made by Congress.
Mr.. Rowell, Of Illinois, did not think
that the government could have anything
to do with the exposition without dis
gracing itself.
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.
MIR. Hepburn, Of Iowa, announced his
opposition TO the government aiding a
purely private enterprise.
Mr.. II ahn, of Louisiana, supported the
p, aud pointed out that the exposition
c. cd 10 was an entirely different one

Mr. Negley, Of Pennsy ylyania, hoped that
there would be no hesitancy to support so
proper a resolution.
Messrs. O'Neill. Of Pennsylvania, and
Durham, Of Illinois, favored the policy OF
government aid to State and national
expositi0ns, and Mr.. Butterworth, Of
Ohio, pointed out that the object Of the
resolution in no sense committed the gov
ernment 10 the payment OF a farthing.
Mr.. Cannon moved TO lay the joint reso-
luton on the table pending yea and nay
vote, the division standing 81 10 81 in
favor OF the motion.
