ASSISTANT SECRETARY GRANT.
No Immediate Prospect of His Success
sOr Being Named.

1t is learned at the War Department that
there is no immediate prospect Of a change
in the office Of assistant secretary OF war.
Gen. Grant, the incumbent, rendered his
resignation on March 4. He never expect
ed to remain throughout the present admin
istration and does not now. He has thor
ough knowledge Of the business of the
department and has been Of great assist
ance to Secretary Lamont, who SO far has
shown no disposition to take up the routine
duties of his office. It is understood that
Secretary Lamont accepted the army port
folio with the idea that 1t would enable him
to devote most Of his time to politics. In
order to do this, however, he will require
the assistance of a person thoroughly vers-
ed in the business Of the department, and
so far he has not been able to find any
body with the desired qualifications Of the
proper political faith. No one who has ap-
piled for appointment as assistant secre-
tary is regarded as up to the standard.

Further Retrenchm ments.

Secretary Morton has abolished the con-
gressional division of the Agricultural De-
partment. This division has for many
years performed the work of preparing
franks for many Sena tors and members of
Congress in connection with the distribu-
tion Of seeds, cuttings, plants, etc. This
was instituted at time when no allowance
was made to Senators and members for
clerk hire.
In view Of the fact that each Senator and
member is now provided with a clerk to
aid him in the performance of such duties
as may be required in the service Of his
constituents. 1t Is said that the necessity
for the above-named division has ceased to
exist, and in pursuance Of the policy of re-
trenchment and reform viii be abolished
Senators and members who desire to
have seed distributed direct to their con-
stituents or others may have the same
done by forwarding to the department the
necessary franks, with the addresses writ
ten thereon, or the seed Will be delivered
in unaddressed packages, as heretofore at
any place designated by them.

errors and representative men of the west
and south for 1.-THE establishment of such
commercial policies and trade relations as
may render this section free from depend
ence upon the eastern section of the Union
in business affairs"
Governor Stone has great faith in the
west. 1t is quite natural that he should
for the west has honored him. The Twelfth
congressional district of Missouri sent him
TO the national house of representatives for
three successive terms, in 1884, 1885 and
1888, and the people of the state elected him
governor in 1892 But the governor thinks
eastern influences and interests dominate
the western business world too largely, and
that the east itself is too much swayed by
European policies and methods He also
thinks that cooperation between the west
and the south will put an end to this state
of things and therefore favors the proposed
convention.
Governor Stone is n Kentuckian by birth
and atypical Kentuckian in appearance He
is tall, broad shouldered and erect of car
riage, and his thick hair is as straight as an
Indians. He has lived in Missouri since
his youth and was educated at the state
university. He is IA lawyer by profession,
and the first public office he ever held was
that of prosecuting attorney of Vernon
county, to which he was elected in 1872. He
has gift of fluent speech and has been very
successful in his profession.
The governors home is in the town of
Nevada, and he has large stock farm near
there in which he takes great interest. His
Shorthorn cattle are his especial pride
They are of the bluest of Shorthorn blood,
and every one of them has a pedigree and is
duly registered in the Shorthorn herdbook
The governor has for years made a study of
the Shorthorn family and has infused the
best strains of their blood in his stock,

dent friends, without any previous an.
nouncement, canvass or organization Of
any kind, presented his name to the Re
publican state convention for nomination
for the lieutenant governorship, and though
he failed to secure the nomination the
magnitude of the vote he received was, un-

Commander Adams war record is an
excellent one. In 1861, before he was 20
years of age, he enlisted in the battalion
which afterward became the nucleus of the
Nineteenth Massachusetts regiment OF vol
unteers. He served throughout the war,
participating in every march and every
battle Of the Army of the Potomac in
which his regiment took part except when
he was disabled by wounds, and during the
nine months when he was prisoner of war.
He was mustered out with the rank Of
captain. He will be So years old in October.

The new commander in chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, John G. b. Adams

more generally called, had the rare distinc-
ton Of being elected by acclamation with
out any previous ballotin2 at the recent ma
tional encampment in indianapolis. Com
mander Adams has long been one of the
most popular veterans in New England.
He has for years been identified with the
Grand Army as one of the most active and
influential members of the department of
Massachusetts, and the marked apprecia-
tlon of his merits shown by his significant
elevation has evoked considerable enthusi-
asm among his fellow veterans at home.
He is member of Lander post of Lynn,
and the fact that his post ranks second in
membership among the posts of the whole
country is due, In no small degree, to his
enthusiastic endeavors. His popularity
has received frequent recognition from the
people of the old Bay State and his COM
rades of the Grand Army, among whom
the saying is current that nothing is too
good for Jack" He has been postmaster
of Lynn and deputy superintendent of the
Concord reformatory and is now SER

There's something in the parting hour
VIII chill the warmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers. friends,
Are fated all to part;
But this I've seen-and many q pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
No matter what the journey be
Adventurous, dangerous, far,
To the wild deep or black frontier,
To solitude or war
Still something cheers the heart that
In all of humankind,
And they who go are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes to her hush IDS home
With dOubtings and with tears,
But does not hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears2
Alas! the mother who remains,
What comfort can she find
But this-the gone is happier
Than one she leaves behind?
Have you fricnd-a cumrade dear
An old and valued frcnd2
BE sure your term of sweet concourse
At length will have an end
And when you part-as part you will
Oh, take it not unkind
If he who goes is happier
Than you he leaves behind!
God wills it SO, and 50 il is;
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay,
And when at last poor man, subdued,
Lies down to death, resigned,
May he not still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind9

To hear old voices whisper, sweet and low,
And see dear faces steal back one by one
And thrill anew TO each long past delight

browsing. the other afternoon I lay
In that sweet interlude that falls between
Waking and sleeping when all being is seen
Or one complexion, and the vague dreams play
Among the thoughts, and the thoughts go astray
Among the dreams. My mother, who has
been
Dead almost half my life, appeared TO lean
Above me, boy in house far away
That once was home, and all the troubled
years
That have been since were as II they were
not.
The voices that are hushed were in my ears:
The looks and motions that had forgot
Were in my eyes, and they disowned the tears
That now again beneath their lids are hot.
