Ournaval policy is one of the leading
topics treated editorially in the Review
of Reviews for June. In the same con.
nection, projects of ship canal building
in relation to sea board defense are dis
cussed. Other matters of general inter-
est receiving comment in the" Progress

are the Senate's tariff muddle, the
Great Northern Railway strike and ar.
bitration, the coal miners strike, the
rationale of Coxeyism, the New York
Constitutional Conven ton, the question
of woman SURFACE, the temperance
movement and news from the college

The Rationale of COxeyiSm.

For the most part the various ';ar-
mics" have been composed of well
meaing fellows who have not a bit
either of dangerous malevolence or
lofty social idealism in their hearts or
minds, and who have no more affilia-
ton with bloodthirsty anarchists than
have the children of a Philadelphia
Sunday School. 1t is true that an ele-
ment of good fol- nothing tramps has
infested the armies to some extent, but
this class has not been predominant.
We have in the past six months been
face to face with most serious problems
presented by lack of work for hun
dreds of thousands in our great cities;
and within few weeks we have wit.
messed in different parts of the country
some frightful scenes of disorder in
connection with bitterly contested
stikes. These have been the serious
features of the years industrial depres.
sion. The Coxey march and other
Kindred diversions have, on the con-
trary, helped to relieve the strain and
to maintain the national cheerfulness.
1t is true that we ought to view with
great solemnity and alarm the lawless
spirit shown by companies of men
who have lodged deputy marshals, po-
lice squads and cavalry detachments,
while speeding across country on rail-
road trains borrowed without consent
of the owners. Yet to be perfectly
frank and truthful, we must confess
that almost everybody has looked on
with more amusement than solemnity.
When the business revival comes and
work is plenty, the temptation to steal
rides and 20 to Washington in advo-
cacy of Mr.. Coxey good roads bill and
other theoretical propositions, will van
ish as by magic. 1t is worth while to
note the fact that the 'armies" have
been treated with almost universal
kindness by the people along their
routes of travel; and apart from their
evil propensity for stolen rides, the
banded adventures have done no harm
worth mentioning. 1t has been great
mistake to denounce them as if they
were bands of criminals or anything
else than what they are, namely, bod.
les of American pilgrims bound on
merely fantastic and adventurous Jour-
ney, under the leadership of ill in
formed and visionary men whose en-
ergy and capacity for organization
happen to find an outlet in this plan of
march to Washington. .-Erom "The

Death Of Gen. Sanders. Southern Union
Generals.

The Knoxville Daily Journal, of MAY
n, publishes very interesting account
of the successful raid into East Tennes
see by the small cavalry force of 1900
men under the gallant Gen. Sanders in
1858, and also sketch of the gallant
work done by the cavalry snder San
ders in the preliminary engagements
before the repulse of Longstreet in
which the gallant Sanders lost his life.
The article is well written and is de-
served tribute to as gallant soldier as
over drew a sword. But there is an
error in the first paragraph of the
Journal article, in these words:
1.-THE South furnished but one Union
General who was killed during the
war. That officer was General w. P.
Sanders" This statement is not true.
There were several Union Generals
from the South who were killed. We
will here mention one of them. In 1862
Gen. James S. jackson, of Kentucky,
was killed in the battle of Perryville
while gallantly leading his regiment
against the enemy. When the war
broke out in 1860 81 jackson was
member of Congress from Kentucky.
He was one of the Youngest men in
Congress. After the election of Mr..
Lincoln, Jackson, one evening, was at
a dinner party in Washington with
several Congressman among whom was
the famous secessionist, Louis T. Wig
fall. Senator from Texas, and after
wards General in the Confederate
army. The coming war talked of and
Wigfall announced that he was going
into the Southern army. johnson said
he intended to recruit regiment for
the Union army. Thereupon Wigfall,
who was feeling the wine he had i'm
bibed, spoke to Jackson in grossly in
sulting terms, and Jackson promptly
struck him in the face. Then the par
ties were separated by mutual friends,
Wigfall remarking as he went off that
he would see Jackson again. "All
right" said jackson. Wigfall was a
famous duelist having once severely
wounded, in deul, Preston S. Brooks,
of South Carolina, who subsequently
assaulted Senator Sumner on the SEN
ate floor. When the parties separated
all presentexpected Jackson to be chal-
lenged the extmorning US did Jackson
himself. Early the next morning Sena
tor Wigfall, to his credit be it said, in
stead of sending challenge to jackson
wrote him a manly letter acknowledg-
ing that he was at fault on the previou us
evening, that he had insulted jackson
without provocation and asking the
latter's pardon. Of course the parties
were good personal friends again. Jack
son became General in the Union
army where he lost his life in 1862, and
Wigfall became General in the Con
federate army and member of the
Confederate Senate. During all his
service in the Confederate Senate Wig
fall waged bitter war on jeff Davis and
his administration, attributing all the
failures of the Confederacy to Davis
incompetency. After the war he re.
moved from Texas to Baltimore where
he practiced law and died few years
ago. He always declared that the
Southern Confederacy would have been
established if their President had been
"a great man and statesman n instead OF
id little, narrow-minded politician
of third rate ability"

The South and the Revenues.

There are three scources of revenue
in the United States: Customs taxes,
internal revenue and miscellaneous re-.
ceipts. OF the internal revenue amount
ing to S161 ,000, 900, the eleven Confed-
crate States pay less than $4,000, 900 all
told. Of the Sl77,00O,OOO of customs
revenue, the eleven Confederate States
collected "a, 1885, 900 in all their ports.
They have a larger number of ports in
proportion than all other State, and
yet of the $177, 100000 collected in all
ports of the country, the ports of the
eleven Confederate States contribute
but $4,156,OO
OF the whole miscellaneous receipts.
there are collected from the southern
section of the country less than S2,OOO,-
900.
"The South contributes less than S15.
100000 to the entire revenue of the Uni.
ted States. How is it expended ? They
get S9,OOO,OOO of it in sugar bounties.
They get over S5,OOO,OOO in pensions
paid in that section, and they get more
than S5,OOO,OOO to meet the deficit in
the postal service. In these three
items alone they get $1,000 900 more
from the treasury than they pay in to
it. So instead of paying 100000, 900
for pension money, they do not pay
cent to the pension fund of the United
Standardization Commercial Bulletin.

A Spirited Girl-The following an
ecdote concerning one of the fair
daughters of Winchester is authentic
beyond doubt; and worthy of being
put on record. One day during the
hard winter just past Miss Arnold
applied to General Milroy for permit
to purchase forage for her COW, whose,
milk was an item of no little impor-
tance to the subsistence of her father 8
family during the reign of Milroy.
Are you loyalS" asked the General.
"Yes, " she replied. He began to write
the permit. ITO the United States or
Confederate Statesp" ITO the Confeder-
acy, of course" she replied. "Then
shall give you no permit. This in
famous rebellion must be crushed. "
"Well," " said she, IF you can crush it
by starving John Arnold's old COW, do
it, and be drot to you!"

WASHINGTON. June S.-Lieutenant Al
bert Ackermau, of the navy. was heard
today by the house committee on armoI
plate frauds. He was one of the naval
board which investigated the first charges
of fraud. His evidence covered in detail
the irregularities in treating specific armor
plates. He had heard that Superin.
PENDENT Schwab and others oil
the officials and employees had an
interest in the Carnegie company
and therefore had an object in passing
plates not up to the standard. He told
the manner in which his suspicious had
been aroused. He found that in certain
lines work would be stopped when he en-
tered a shop. One of the superintendent,
Mr.. Kline, had misled him on various de-
tails of the work His own experiments
and the afidavits of informers had cor
roborated his suspicious and he had
assessed damages against the company as
a result of his own knowledge and his
suspicious.
Lieutenant Ackerman's investigation
was of the second or supplemental charges.
This testimony developed a new branch Of
irregularity as to .the manipulation Of a
testing machine used by the Carnegie
company. The machine was so operated
rs to give false figures. Disclosures
were also made as to serious defects OF two
plates on the Monterey. A wire four feet
long had been inserted in the hole. Chair
man Cummings read from the testimony
of the second investigation TO the elect
that one of the workmen had been dis
charged at the suggestion of one OF the
government inspectors. Members of the
committee commented upon this testl-
rnony, stating it indicated that con-
idential relations between the Carnegie
company and the naval inspectors existed.

evolved two weeks ago after 50 much

ger White declared today that his
line had no intention Of de-
moralizing the business any more than
was necessary to preserve the Atchison's
proper proportion. Chairman Caldwell
called meeting of the interested lines to-
day, but the Atchisoa declined 10 send a

clared the agreement was being violated
every day and that the meeting would lead
to no good. All the lines at the meeting
assured Chairman Caldwell that they had
not made any unlawful rates aud had not
the slightest intention of making any, bat
this assurance was very far from satisfy
