lowed the wake of empires course and
journeyed westward to Minnesota, and
there as lawyer he made his home
and an enviable reputation. When the
last Congress created the Office of As
sistant Secretary of War he was APP
pointed by the President to the posi-
ton. And there he has remained q
worthy second to Secretary Proctor in
the latter's efforts to improve the SER
vice. How well he has succeeded any
army officer can and will tell There
are fewer assertions from the army
now than ever before. The men say
that they are treated better; that there
seems to be throughout the service a
belief that private soldier is, after all,
a man, and that as such he is worthy a
mans treatment. And, what is equally
to the point, he gets it.
The General since Secretary Proctor
left has been the Acting Secretary. He
is good deal of mascot. Whatever
he touches seems to turn out well. This
mascot feature, in connection with his
unquestioned qualifications, makes it
far from surprising that President Har-
rison should be thinking seriously Of
appointing the General to the Cabinet.
Moreover, the Grand Army of the Re.
public, in an official way, has signified
that it will be pleased if the General be
appointed Secretary of War.
