Significance Of the Compliment
airy Resolution introduced in the
House.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Admiral Ben
hams future may be much affected by
a recent incident in Rio harbor and the
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Money complimenting the admiral.
The thanks of congress is all honor
very highly priced in military and naval
circles. and it carries with it not only
dignity and honor, but also several i'm
portant official advantages. One of
these is that the time of an officers re-
tirement is put off. In the case of Ad-
miral Benham, lie will be retired in
April next. but should congress give
him resolution of thanks his period
of active service would be extended ten
years further, This would be the most
signal dignity at the present time, as
there are few in the naval service who
enjoy the honor. 1t would also carry
the pay of an officer on the active list,
which is considerably above the pay of
the retired rank.
Mr.. Money has been alive to the facts
that these honors attached to vote of
thanks. and he has sought to so frame
his complimentary resolution as not to
carry these legal privileges. Mr. Money
is a strong admirer of Admiral Ben
hams promptness and Americanism,
but he thinks the Rio incident hardly
notable enough to extend the admiral's
service ten years or give him the privi-
leges of the floor CT congress. The rea-
SOP is quite broad. however, and the
opinion prevails that it is the vote of
thanks contemplated in the law as the
basis for special privileges and dig
mites.

avoid the glut OF oyerproduction and the

demand OF a necessity which knew no

Is there nothing in it to shake his con-
fidence in the ability of a government to
regulate industry? Is there not in it
the refutation of the whole protective
theory? And is there not in it that
which should make him willing at least
to let another policy, that embodied in
the Wilson bill and advocated by the
Democratic party, be tried? Surely it
cannot w0rsen his condition.

time selected a capable oficial.-St.

Gov. Nelson has appointed Charles A.

vacancy caused by the death or Col.
Taylor. Mr.. Gilman is one of the
pioneer settlers of Minnesota and has
held many public offices. being lieuten-
ant governor from 1881 TO 1885. He was
admitted to the bar in 1876. The state

gratulations to Hon. G. A. Gilman, of

said, would be inevitably followed by a

What He Did During Two Days
Stay in Washington.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Sd. j. Hill is a
modest gentleman. He spent Two days

fact that he knew the people of Mime

pointments now overdue, as reported in
sundry Republican newspapers.
What Mr.. Hill did while in Washing
ton was simply to dine with Secretary
Hoke Smith; pay his respects to Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland in brief and
formal interview; occupy seat in the
parquette at Sol Smith Russell's theatre
cal entertainment; listen carefully to the
final arguments of Reed, Crisp and Will
son in the most celebrated tariff debate
IN history, and smilingly shake hands
with such Minnesota friends as he hap
pened to meet in the national capital.
Could any modest, polite and kindly
citizen of Minnesota do less or more
than this on visit to Washington?
If there was any great political signifi-
canoe to MIR. Hills visit to Washington
it is not probable anybody will ever find
out shy more than those points listed
above. The great public will be COM
PEELED to be content with these ascer-
tanned facts. Guesses and differences
