paid out in rent. and il you have

money intoa

in which you viii feel a natural

Don't delay this until next year, as

No Lleu,enan,-General Needed.

The bills pending In Congress for the re-
viyal OF the grade OF Lieutenant General
are based on no consideration OF public me-
cessty. There are some projects OF re-
form and Improvement In army legislation
which have stirred up widespread aud
earnest petitions throughout the service
but the creation OF that grade Is not among
them. The army has no more need OF a
Northumberland than a cat OF two tails
The rule is without exception. that when
ever the rank OF Northumberland has
existed at all In our army. 1t has been con-
ferrcd during actual war. or because war is
threatened. or. finally. shortly after great
war. In honor Of extraordinary services
therein rendered.
Our first Lieutenant-Generalw was GEORGE
WASHINGTON. The occasion OF his appoint
ment. early In July. 1898. was the threatened
war with France. few days before nomi-
mating him to the Senate. President JOHN
ADAMS had assured him that IL the
country could have the use OF his
name IN that grade. There will DO
moro efficacy In 1t than In many an
army" and Secretary MCHENRY had also
said to him that the storm thickens. and
our vessel will soon require its ancient
pilot" The contrast between that state OF
things and the present is obvious. On tho
death OF WASHINGTON the grade became va
cant. and no one else was appointed to 1t.
During the war Of 1919 the highest rank
In our army was that OF Msjor-General.
and the same Is true Of the war with
Mexico. and as well. OF course. OF the in-
tervenlng thirty years of peace. But soon
after the close OF the Mexican war a resO-
luton was offered In Congress. Feb. "a, ls40,
To confer upon Gen. SCOTT the brevet rank
Of Northumberland. and the follow
Ing year a similar resolution appeared
the specific ground OF the proposed honor
being the distinguished services rendered
10 the public by that officer during the late
war" and In 1852 the brevet rank was con-
ferred, Here also the difference is plain be-
tween the comforting Of that rank on one
who has been the commandments In
war recently concluded. and any circum-
stances that exist to-day,
The third occasion OF comforting the rank
was that OF 1864. when Gen. GRANT, being
required TO direct the operations OF all the
great armies. East and West. then In the
field, received 1t through the legislation OF
Congress. Finally. when. at the close OF
the civil war. GRANT was made full Gen
eTal for his services, SHERMAN became
Lieutenant-GeneTal; aud at GRANTS ae-
eession to the Presidency. SHERMAN be-
came General, and SHERIDAN Lieutenant
General. There was no pretenes at that
time that the army required this grade in
time OF peace. Congress. indeed. cOnclu-
sively showed not only that It WAS not 50
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1894-02-17

required. but also that Il should no longer
be conferred as . distinction for past ser
vices. by enactlng that when vacated by
Gen. SHERIDAN the grade should lapse. 1t
did go lapse. and there IL no sound reason
for revivlngl IL.
This action Of Congress. almost quarter
OF century ago. also implied that, with tho
brevets and the appointments TO various
grades In the regular army. the honors and
rewards for war services had been fully
given out. Although that decision cut on
from further advancement two OF the most
distinguished Of American soldiers. Gen.
GEORGE ". THOMAS and Gen. GEORGE q.
MEADE. it was accepted. and II has been
acted upon up TO the present time. There
would be a sense Of injustice TO tho mem
cries Of the llustrious dead In the revival
OF the grade now for purely honorary dis
tinction. based on services rendered or
commands held during the civil war. while
OF its actual necessity for administrative or
any other purpose, Mt this time. there lie no
indication whatever.

Knee Brooches and SILK Stockings.

A notable dinner took place Mt Pittsburgh
last week. II closed the proceedings OF n
three days session Of the Merchant Tailors'
National Exchange. and was made memoir
able by the introduction OF a new and gor-
geous evening costume.
Four Of the leading tailors Of the United
States wore this costume at the banquet.
and It's beauty and grace were so striking
that the whole company OF critical obser-
vers regarded II with enthusiastic admira-
ton. The costume consisted OF a silk vel
vet dress coat. satin brocaded waistcoat.
satin knee breaches. silk stockings. and the
lace adornments affected by men OF fashion
n century ago. Undoubtedly the different
colors which cnn be introduced into such a
costume. according to the requirements OF
the varying types OF manly beauty. would
lend great brilliance to an occasion Of
evening festivity. Instead OF the rament
OF men being merely foil to set OF the
bright attire OF women. 1t would DO OF
itself n thing OF beauty. with which femi-
nine taste and art would have to compete.
The judgment OF the merchant tailors at
the dinner Mt Pittsburgh was 80 unani-
mously In favor OF the new costume that
1t will be the prevailing garb when tho
convention holds It's next annual banquet.
The tailors expect. too. that as the fame Of
Its impressive beauty spreads abroad. men
will be unable to resist the desire to emu
late the glory Of their raiment
Perhaps SO: but how will II be regarded
by the men with thin and crooked legs
Some men OF great distinction and most
engaging personality suffer from those
physical defects. but at present they are
concealed by trousers. in chief part. at least
Knee breeches and silk stockings would re-
veal them to every beholder. How. for in
stance. would Gen. CARL SEIZURE look In that
rig? 1t Is true that such men might resort
to padding. but would not suspicion OF tho
artiflce get abroad and provoke unseemly
merriment among women?
As 1t Is. the dress OF men Is comfortable
rather than handsome. II they go In for
brilliant effects Of color and material they
will have to stand criticism OF their taste
and the beauty OF their proportions. from
which. happily. they are now exempt.

The country said in 1892 what it wanted
TO say. 1t said that 1t was tired OF the pro-
tectionist style OF tariff 1t said that 1t
wanted n constitutional tariff. a tariff for
revenue only. The Democrats In the House
OF Representatives elected to express this
purpose Of tho people OF the United States.
don't believe In the purpose. They think
the people were fooling. 1t remains TO be
seen what the Democrats In tho Senate
think. DO they. too. regard the Democratic
party as n humorous organization?
This thing has got to DO settled. With
the highest regard to the Democrats in tho
Senate. we must remind them that 1t will
be dangerous for them to assume that they
know better than the Democrats did. what
the Democrats wanted. We cannot believe
that the Democrats In the Senate are so
premature; nor can We believe that they
have not learned. from tho bad example set
by the Democrats OF the House. that the
honor OF the Democratic party must DO OBJ

Keep yourselves straight. gentlemen: or
you may get into trouble. Must the coun-
try go through the tariff agitation again?

A New Sort OF Arbitration.

The impudence OF the pretence that In
his Hawaiian interference Mr.. CLEVELAND
was acting as the appointed arbitrator be-
tween the Provisional Government and the
discarded Queen is exposed very thorough
~ by President DOLE.
An arbitrator is a Judge who hears both
sides to a controversy and decides between
them. lie is disInterested party selected
Engagement. and his proceedings are kept
secret from neither the one side nor the
other. He takes no step in obtaining tho
testimony necessary to the formation Of n
Judgment which Is not made known to
both sides. SO that each may be heard i'm
partially.
From the beginning the Provisional Gov
eminent WIS kept In ignorance ~ Mr.
CLEvELASD's policy and intentions toward
Hawaii. After having withdrawn the treaty
OF annexation from the Senate without cN-
planning to the Hawaiian Minister his rca-
sons and intentions. he despatched his Para
mount Commissioner 10 Hawaii without no.
tifying the Provisional Government OF the
appointment. IIo refused to reply to n
proper request OF the Hawaiian Minister for
information as to his Intentions. When
Mr.. BLoUST got to Honolulu he kept the
purpose OF his mission a secret from
the Government there. He made his re-
port without giving 1t an opportunity to
reply to his charges. and for months 1t
was kept in ignorance OF what they were.
When Mr.. WILLIS wont to Hawaii as Min
lister no maintained the same secrecy. 30

cerned. revealing his Instructions only to
the discarded Queen.
