sHER1DAN's RANK WILL EXPIRE WITH

SHERIDANs RANK WILL EXPIRE WITH
HIS DEATH.-With Gen. Sheridan's death
the rank of acknowledgement Of the United
States army ceases to exist. The country,
under the Constitution, has never had but
two generals-Grant and Sherman. When
the war with France seemed imminent, in
the earliest days of our constitutional exist
ence, Presiden. Adams was authorized, in
1898, to raise an army OF 10000 men, and 10
appoint lieutenant-general. He nomi.
mated Mr.. George Washington, of Mount
Vernon. and Lieutenant-General Washing.
ton was confirmed. Northumberland
Washington accepted the commission, but
the threatened war was averted. In lI99
the rank of lieutenant general wac aooilshed
and the rank of general was created, but
was never filed In 1866, as reward fer
mis- services in the Mexican war, the rank OF
acknowledgement was revived and bestow-
ed upon Gen. Scott, 10 hold (by brevet only
during his life, and it was specifically pro.
vided that the rank should expire upon the
death or resignation of the Incumbent. In
1864 the rank ofleuteuant.generalw was again
revived and conferred upon Gen. Grant, and
in 1866 the rank of general was revived, and
he was the first man in our constitutional
history to be appointed to that office, Gen.
Sherman being promoted at the same time
to the vacant lieutenant-genera!ship. Upon
his elevation to the Presidency, Gen. Grant
appointed Lieutenant General Sherman gen.
eral, and Major. General Sheridan lieuten-
ant general there having been no limitation
placed upon these ranks by statute. But
Congress in 1876 enacted law doing away
with the ranks of general and lieutenant.
general which were to expire with the then
incumbents, Sherman and Sheridan Gen
Sherman has since been placed on the re-
tired list, and Gen. Sheridan is dying, so
that in few days these two ranks in the
army will be vacant

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 30.
Blasted Hope.

he softly whispered in her ear
"Shsll we to the cafe
Meander now, my little dear?'
She never spoke him nay.
They sat them down, the man and maid,
Then did he gently quoth-
aWilt thou have cream or Lemonade
She simply answered, both"
The smiles that erstwhile wreathed his cheek
Now swiftly faded thence,
For tho each pocket he did seek
He found but twenty cents.
He said, my dear, man see
Who owes me dollars seven
Then from the room he swift did fee
To breathe the air of heaven.
The maiden she did sit and wait
Her nice young mans returning,
But meier q waiter brought the plate
OF cream her heart was 3earning.
And still she sits with ashen lip,
And neither sound nor motion,
AS silent as chrome ship
On photographic ocean.

lie There a Thurman Boom?
Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer.


There are unmissakable symptoms CT 6
genuine Thurman boom for Vice-Presi-
dent. For some time reports have been
coming from Washington that the Demo-
crstic leaders there were seriously max.
ing arrangements for bringing out the
veteran OHIO statesman as q vlce>presi-
Dental candidate, but the country has
been disposed to credit hem rather to
newspaper sensationallsm than to any
actual purpose On the part OF the Demo
cratic managers. This view Of the matter
Is hardly tenable In the face Of the dis
patches that we print this morning
II is quite evident that there is serious
purpose back OF all this talk, but whether
With the knowledge end consent Of
Mr.. Thurman himself is not SO clear. Mr..
Thurman has quite often Of late assured
the country thst he is out Ct political life
with no desire TO get in again, but II msy
be that he would not refuse such an honor
as that which it is proposed TO confer
upon him. II is evident thst there is 6
desire on the part Of many Influential
Democrats to have Mr.. Thurman on the
ticket with Grover Cleveland, and there
are some strong reasons for supposing
that the arrangement would be one thst
would give the President great satisfsc-
ten. The only question seems to be
whether Mr.. Thurman has consented or
would consent to such an arrangement ss
that proposed.
Unquestionsbly the nomination Of
Thurman for Vjce-Pfesidert would give
the Democrats of the country crest satis-
faction, the "Old Roman" being held 10
the greatest honor ara respect every
where, but there is much reason to doubt
that he csn be prevailed upon to quit his
retirement to encounter again The vexs-
ton and worry Of partisan contention.
His nomination would add great strength
to the Democratic ticket and would give
the Rspu olicans Of Ohio great deal O!
trouble, but that he will himself consent
TO receive such nomination msY be
doubted in the absence of any positive
assurance of Mr.. Thurman to the con-
trsry.
