The Sins of sergt. Sherman.

NEW HAVEN, April 26.-Gen. A. W. Gree ley, chief of the signal service, has been here investigating the charges against Sergt. Sher- man, charged with Ehotographing young females in questionable costumes, and other conduct unbecoming an officer of the signal service Gen. Greeley refused to talk about the matter, but said he would decide the mat ter on his return to Washington. Gen. Gree ley's main channel of information was through Prosecuting Attorney Hugh Daily, and as Mr. Daily has already in public interview denounced Sergt. Sherman as local s'Dr. Jekyn and MT. Hyde," and stated that he refrained from prosecuting Sherman on ac- count of the persistent pleadings of respect able parties who wished to keep their daugh- ters out of the scandal, it does not look very promising for Sherman's retention.

Tramp Through the Rain to See Her.
 The Dowager Empress Returns Her
 Can-The Programme for To-day.
 BERLIN, April 26-The emperor rose early yesterday. He felt refreshed after his nights rest, and enjoyed two cups of tea and few light cakes. The crown prince visited him at o'clock, and afterward the crown princess paid him long visit The emperor lunched heartily, taking the meal in bed.
 His temperature this morning was 1O1 de- grees. He has little fever and is gaining strength.
 Owing to the improved condition of the em- peror, Queen Victoria has decided to remain here to-day. She will attend a parade of the Life Guards at p. m to-day, and will dine at p. m., leaving for home between and 8 p. m. In spite of the cold rain crowds of people went from Berlin to Charlottenburg with the twofold object of seeing the queen and hearing the latest reports concerning the emperor.
 The Dowager Empress Augusta called on the queen. After a visit of thirty-five minutes, the two ladies drove in a landau to the British embassy. In a second carriage were Princess Beatrice and the emperor's three daughters, and in third, Prince Henry of Battenberg. Tea was served at the em- bassy, the crown prince, who was followed later by the crown princess and Count Her ,ert Bismarck, being present. From the em-
 assy the queen and the empress drove to the English chapel in the Monbijou Platz, and after remaining twenty minutes returned to Charlottenburg.
 A banquet was given at the palace at s o'clock lasr night, at which all the royal princes and princesses were present. Among the guests were Prince Bismarck, Count Herbert Bismarck, Gen. Won Moltke, Minister von Puttkamer, Count Stolberg, Gems. Albedyll, Achenbach, von Pape, Gutenberg and von Rauch, the Duke of Rutland, Sir E. B. Malet, the British ambassador, and his wife, and all the physicians attending the emperor, including Drs. Mackenzie and Howell.
 Italy Concentrating in the Mediterranean.
 ROME, April 26.-The Italian government has decided to concentrate its naval forces in the Mediterranean, and in pursuance of this resolution has ordered the South American squadron home, preparatory to disposing it in the waters washing the shores of Italy, France and Spain. Referring to this move and its probable object, La Cocarde, the Paris organ of Gen. Boulanger, declares that Eng. land must give way in Egypt, and that, too, without unnecessary delay. France, the paper further declares, will never surrender her rightful advantages in the Mediterranean, though the English and Italian fleets com bine, as they are no doubt doing, to compel her to do so

H. W. Blair is a United States
Senator from Wisconsion. For a
short time last week he wished that
he wasn't. Blair has distinguished
himself for doing odd and unseem-
ly things. But the oldest and
most unseemly was a resolution
introduced last week providing that
in case of appointments being made
by the Departments from among peo-
pie who were disloyal during the war,
the preference should be given to
soldiers of the Confederate Army.
The whole Senate-Democrats Re-
publicans and Riddleberger, arose and
denounced Blair. Even Wade
Hampton went for him, and Hawley
denounced Blair in language which
outside of the Senate would have
ment fool" Blair's first experience
in waving the Butternut Sirt will
probably be his last.

feeling everywhere regarding Thomp-

better man ever served the District.
1t is with extreme pride that Jackson
County can come before the Conven-

who will serve the District equally
well. Hon. H. S. Bundy is a states
man; he is thoroughly familiar with
the political life of this great Republic,
and especially is he solid on the ques-
tion of protection to American in

would be well looked after by him.
To thorough knowledge of the

What Of ShermanP

We are frequently asked the ques.
ton will there be any doubt of Sher-
mans nomination, when the Re.
publicans assemble at Chicago?" We
can only answer, in the light of
| political history, that there may arise
occasion for grave fears ON this point.
There is no denying or doubling the
fact that Sherman stands head and
shoulders above all other Presidential
candidates this year But there is the
danger It has come to be too much
of custom, in our political life. for
the field to combine against the lead
ing candidate. Without downing the
leading candidate, of course there
could be no showing for any other.
Therefore, the man who heads the
list has doubly-dificult fight. There
will perhaps be no name announced
at Chicago that would not honor the
great party represented. Yet Sher-
man, as before stated, towers above
them all, since Blaine has left the
field. It will require wise manage
ment by the Ohio delegation to make
a successful fight for Ohio's favorite.
This, we have faith to believe, will be
the case. There seems to be no man
prominently mentioned as a Republi-
can leader who could inspire the same
zeal as John Sherman. His nomina-
tion seems to be the proper thing to
be done. It is not for Ohio, that the
desire it, for the Buckeye
State will not fool with the Demo-
cratic party this year. The thousands
# the Republican plurality will reach
veil up into the thirties. But Sher-
mans name, wherever mentioned, will
.waken the Republicans to their
trongest efforts. Upon the face of
hings, Sherman is the man. There
an be no question about it. But let
)hio's delegation not lose sight of
he fact that it is Sherman against
and endeavor to move with
hat caution and wisdom that will
ring success.

Every soldier who has served with
Gen. Thomas, and had opportunities
for studying that grand old hero, will
JOIN Gen. Boynton in the expressed
conviction that he was the greatest
general of them all. His record as a
soldier is perfect-not a flaw, or
tarnished spot. Unselfsh, uncomplain-
ing under evident injustice, fighting
the battles of his country through the
noblest motives, what greater military
life could the imagination paint? To
think that such character as Thomas
could be given even a momentary
pang through the intrigues of one
like Badean, is horrifying to men
who served under the former. \

The time was when Mr.. CoNKLINe
retired from the U. S. Senate, and lef
the Republicans there powerless
This seemed to be because General
GARFIELD thought he had been elected
President of the United States. Then
in 1884, Mr.. CoNKLING could by q
word have prevented the consumma-
ton Of the fraud of the Solid South
in the election Of Democratic Presi-
dent, but he refused, and took a fee
on the Democratic side in the count ~
Commercial Gazette.
1t would seem that this idiocy about
Conkling has gone far enough. The
trouble was not because Garfield
thought he was President. The
trouble came because Garfield, an
Ohio man-and grand and good one,
too-thought he knew more about
New York politics than did Senator
Conkling. Garfield listened to fool
friends and made an appointment
which Conkling well knew would
work injury to the Republican party
in New York. These same fool friends
attacked Conkling, his public career,
his private life, his business, his social
relations. There was howl for him
to step back, and he did so. Then,
when it became apparent that he was
right in his Judgment, and the New
York Republicans were tied up, ready
for delivery to the Democracy, there
was great cry for Conkling to step
forward again, and cast rope to the
sinking men who had scuttled the
Republican ship. 1t is just as well to
let in the light, and vindicate the
truth Of history, Conkling labored
for Garfield's election; Garfeld's
friends labored to drive Conkling out
OF politics. When Conkling was labor
ing to secure the election Of Grant in
1872, the editor of the paper from
which we quote the foregoing extract
was supporting Horace Greeley-one
Of Jeff Davis bondsmen-for the
Presidency, on the Confederate ticket.
The assailants Of Conkling are all of
one class.

The Soldier Bows.
THE BUCKEYE BOY,

what music in the merry breeze
That sweeps our native hills
what joy amid the waving trees,
What laughter in the rills;
The beetling mountain tops look down
70 bless the rising joy,
As Fame implants victor's crown
Upon the Buckeye Boy.
The halls of State confess his pow'r,
His banner, pure and bright,
has proudly waved In triumph's hour,
Fit emblem of the right;
A peaceful leader, bold and strong,
No foeman could destroy,
Nor all the gathering force of wrong
Subdue the Buckeye Boy.
When, mid conflict, grim and dark,
A boastful foeman came
Then Freedoms fire-a feeble spark
Burst forth raging fame;i
On many stormy battlefield
We saw her hosts deploy,
And there, in majesty reveal'd,
The gallant Buckeye Boy.
Where traitors strike the wild alarm
Or aim the deadly blow,
There Valor bares mighty arm
To smite the subtle foe;
Let Treason's forces wildly rave,
And all their arts employ
There stands-the bravest of the brave
Our fearless Buckeye Boy.
When Fame shall fold her glittering scroll,
And Time shall be no more
When waves eternal, ceaseless, roll
Above this crumbling shore
There still shall glisten, far and high,
That sign of fadeless joy,
Emblazon'd on the arching sky,
THE gallant Buckeye Boy.n

storms.

Sergeant ,Tesunofsliy OF the Sig.
nal Service at Nashville gives the
following explanation on the theo.
ny Of storms:
A storm is partial vacuum,
where the outer air, being heavi-
en- feeds it. On the out skirts of
a storm center the winds blow
spirally inward toward it, causing
what might be termed giratory
movement. As the air PUSHES in
to fill the vacuum thus created it
gives a circular motion, causing it
to move forward, finding air pres
sures of the least density.
The tropical storms or cyclones
are the result of the excessive
and long-continued heat, deyel-
oped in those regions, coming in
contact with the cool waves
from regions farther north. 1t is
q noticeable fact that extremes in
temperature regardless of atmos-
pheric conditions produce rainfall.
This, then, is also one of the
principal causes tending to the
development of the severe
storms in those regions, of which
the storm just experienced is a
type.
