COMMANDER OF THE ARMY.

President Cleveland has set at rest the
rumors which have been current In
regard to successor to Lieut.-Gen.
Schofeld, by appointing Maj.-Gen.
Nielsen A. Miles Commander of the
Army of the United States. Many be-
lieved that he would not do this, but
allow the three Major-Generals to
remain in command of their divisions,
and exercise the command of the Army
as has been done on several occasions
before, through the Secretary of War.
The reason for this is that when there
has been a Commander there has been
inevitable friction between him and
the Secretary of War over the division
between their respective functions and
authority. Gen. Schofeld, who is
naturally diplomatic, got along in this

demand exists, and the minis are simply
public conveniences for authoritatively
stamping the weight and fineness upon
certain pieces If there were absolutely
no minis in the world gold would have
just the same value it has to-day. Only
then each man who took gold in pay
ment for anything would have to
rely upon the payers statement and
fneness or else weigh and assay for
himself. The Bank of England and
many other great banks do this to-day.
They do not accept any Governments
stamp upon coin as conclusive, but
weigh every piece that comes in, and
assay many Of them. If we could sup
pose that all the minis should stop coin
ing gold, which is about as reasonable
as to suppose that all the mills in the
world should stop grinding wheat, that
would not affect the value of gold at
all. The value of gold depends wholly
upon the fact that everybody in the
world wants it, and there is great diff
Guilty in supplying the demand. When
ever there has been any great supply of
gold discovered, or it seemed any easier
to get, the price of gold has fallen.
This was notably the case after the
great finds of gold in Mexico and Peru
early in the 10Th century, and again
after the discoveries of an abundance
of the precious metal in Australia and
California. If we should tomorrow
find bonanza mine or Comstock lode
of gold, where it could be apparently
dug out by the ton, its value would de-
cline as rapidly as silver's did under the
same circumstances. The inventions of
dynamite and the diamond drill did
more to lower the price of silver than
anything else.

MISSOURI AT CHICKAMaUGA.

Missouri was not ready with any of
her monuments at Chickamauga at the
time of the general dedication, but on
Sept 26 Secretary Newman had three
monuments and eight markers COM
pleted, and formally delivered these to
President Fullerton. One of these, the
first Confederate monument erected in
the Park, is to Bledsoe's Battery, noted
organization, which began Its fighting
at Wilson Creek.
The second monument is to the Cd
and 18th Mo. (Union) and is erected at
Braggs Headquarters. These regi-
ments belonged to, Sheridan's Division
of McCook's Corps. They were in the
Second Brigade, commanded by Col.
Bernard Laiboldt The other regi-
ments in the brigade were 44th and
73d ILL.,, and Battery G, 1st Mo. Art.
In the battle of Chickamauga the I'd
Mo. lost / officer and men killed; 2
officers and "a men wounded, and /
officer and % men missing. The 10Th
Mo. lost officers and men killed;
officers and 60 men wounded, and 90 men
missing. At Mission Ridge the two
regiments were still in Sheridan's Divi-
sion, but in the First Brigade, COM
manded by Col. F. I. Sherman. The
I'd Mo. lost men killed, and a officers
and 13 men wounded. The 18th Mo.
lost men killed, and officers and IL
men wounded in the assault.
The third monument is to the Sd,
18th, 18th, 9th, 29th, 3lst and 32d
Mo-, and Battery d, 1st Mo. Art, all
Union. The infantry regiments, with
the 18th ILL.,, and 10th Ohio, formed
Charles r. Woods's Brigade of Oster-
haus's Division of the Fifteenth Crops.
Battery d belonged to Ewing's Division
of the same corps. In Sherman's
attack on the north end of Mission
Ridge the Sd Mo. lost seven killed,
wounded and missing; the 18th, 81;
the 18th, 90; the 9th, 10; the 29th,
"a; the 31st, %; the 32d, 2; and

GEN. LoNGsTREETs OPINIONS.

The veteran rebel General-James
Longstreet- speaks quite frankly as to
the character and abilities of his promi-
nent associates and opponents. In re-
cent interview he said that Beauregard
was thoroughly educated in the science
of war, and if he hadn't had the misfor-
tune of coming into contact with Presi-
dent Davis would have given greater
evidence of his ability. 'Stonewall
jackson was man of high character,
strong as chieftain and General. He
was skilled in manuvers, and here lay
his greatest strength. He was not a
man of such great personal attractions
as of moral worth. He was very re-
served"
He spoke very highly of the personal
bravery and GOODNESS of Gen. Irwin Nc
Dowell, and said that Gen. Albert Sid
ney Johnston was an over-rated man,
who owed much Of his fame to the per
sonal friendship of Jeff Davis. Gen.
Longstreet considered Gen. Joseph e.
Johnston the ablest General the South
ern Confederacy had. As to Gen.
Grant, he said: Gle had very few
superiors in the history of the world.
He was an all-around soldier. There
was never any better. He was my
friend before, during, and after the war.
He was an able tactician and strategist
-one of the greatest Captains in his
tory. Napoleon was undoubtedly
brighter and quicker, but he did not
have the equipoise Of Grant"

THE proposition of Mexico to take
Cuba is worth while considering. If
some arrangement could be made by
which Mexico could take the people,
and we the island, it should be accepted
with alacrity. We want the island very
badly, and don't want the people at all.
The people would make average good
Mexican citizens, but very inferior
Americans.

respect better than any Of his prede-
cessors.
Gen. Schofeld's time expired at noon
last Sunday, and it was given out at
once that Gen. Miles would succeed
him. This set at rest another set of
rumors that if there was a Commander
designated it would be one of the other
two Maj r-Gcnerals-Ruger or Merritt.
Miles in the senior Of the three, but he
was volunteer officer, and there had
been some friction between him and a
certain faction in the Army.
Maj.-Gen. Nelson Appleton Miles
was born at Westminster, Mass, Aug. s,
1889, and at the outbreak of the war
was clerk in store. He enlisted in
the 22d Mass. as a Lieutenant; was pro-
NOTED to Captain, and in May, 1862, re-
ceived a commission as Lieutenant-C Colo
mel Of the 61st n. Y. He was promoted
Colonel Of the regiment in September,
and in May, 1864, was commissioned
Brigadier- General Of volunteers. He was
promoted to Major-General of volun-
teers, Oct. q, 1865. He had been pre-
viously brevetted Major-General of vol
unteers Aug. %, 1864, for "highIy
meritorious conduct throughout the cam
paign, and particularly for gallantry
and valuable service in the battle of
Reams's Station" He also greatly dis
tinguished himself at the Bloody Angle
at Spottsylvania, where his division
broke through the rebel lines and cap.
tured Johnson's Division. No man in
the Army of the Potomac saw more
hard service than he.
He was mustered out of the volunteer
service Sept. /, 1866, and commissioned
Colonel of the 10th U.S He was trans
ferred to the 9th u. S. March Is, 1869;
appointed Brigadier-General Dec. Is,
1880, and promoted to Major General
April 5, 1890. He received the breyet
of Br;gadierGeneral of the Regular
Army for gallant and meritorious service
at Charlottesville, and of Major Cen
eral for gallant and meritorious service
at Spottsylvania. These were conferred
after the war.
In the far West he gained new laurels
as skillful and successful Indian fighter.
He defeated Sitting Bull, and drove him
across the Canadian line, and has several
other brilliant successes to his credit,
winding up with the capture of Geronimo
He is the first non-graduate of West
Point to command the Army since Gen.
Scott. His rank remains that of Major
General, the Lieutenant Generally ex-
piring with Gen. Schofeld.
As he is 81 years old, he will COM
mand the Army for the next seven
years, or until 1902.

DEMAND AND SUPPLY.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please an
swer the following, questions in your edi-
torial department: /. Is it not fact that the
law of supply and demand, to q very great
extent, controls the price of any commodity?
2. Is it not fact that gold is used almost
exclusively for two spnrposes-coinage and
the arts? 3. If the United States and the
leading Nations of Europe should close their
minis to the coinage oil, gold, thereby cutting
off one of the two demands for gold, would
not the price of gold drop in proportion to
the lack Of demand caused thereby? a. If
the price did not drop, hat new demand
would arise to keep it up to $50 per ounce?
5. Would it not certainly drop IN price if
there was not new demand created? 6.
Would it no. drop in the same proportion
that silver did when silver was demonetized
by the leading Nations ?-L. d. TEMPLE
