ed home, is a bluff veteran of the old
school of the navy. He was appointed
from North Carolina in 1850 and has
served 45 years ashore and afioat under
the stars and stripes. He became a rear
admiral last March, since when he has
furnished several mild sensations in
naval circles. He has opinions of his
own and does not hesitate to air them
whenever he likes, fact that has
aroused the wrath of Secretary Herbert
and caused the admira1's recall.
He first attracted attention by con-
graduating President Faure Of France
upon his election, not, he says, as an Of
f1cer of the United States, but as per-
sonal friend. Secretary Herbert, how
ever, declared that the admiral's posi-
ton representing the dignity Of the
United States navy in European waters
precluded him from making any COM
ment whatever on French politics. Ad-
miral Kirkland appealed to the presi-
dent, who apparently sustained Secretary
Herbert
The admiral next became conspicuous
through a newspaper interview, in which
he said that some Of the American mis-
sionaries he had been protecting in Syria
during the Armenian troubles were lit
tie better than penitentiary outcasts
These structures were brought to the at
tention of Secretary Herbert by pro-
test from Boston religious organizations
and made him still more displeased
with the admiral Not long thereafter
chaplain in the navy complained that
Kirkland had insultingly ordered him
below while at kiel because he was not
attired in full dress uniform. As chap
lains have only one regulation uniform
for all occasions, the complainant
thought himself very badly used. These
accusations and others of. a similar ma
hre, it is said, have caused the adnirals
tall from favor.
As he has served 45 years he is en-
titled to retirement, and may leave the
active list of the navy very soon. While
his recall is uncomplimentary to him
self, there is no disposition at the navy
department, it is said, to belittle his
record as a sailor, which is very cred
table one.

name is

nous Philadelphia merchant and phi
lanthropist who achieved national fame
as chairman of the board of finances Of
the Centennial exposition, and who was
appointed minister to Eng land by Presi
dent Hayes on Oct. 3o,1S77. He left
his son fortune, and that worthy is

lea
Welsh was early in life thrown in con-
tact with A. J. Drexel and studied his
business methods with profit to himself.
He was Drexel's lieutenant in many
schemes and for years represented the
Drexel interests in the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad, of which he is now
one of the receivers as we'll as a director.
He is one of the seven executors of the
Drexel estate, is president of the Elec-
trio trust, which controls the electric
lighting of Philadelphia, and is interest
ed in enough other gigantic enterprises
TO busy half dozen capable men. His
latest and greatest scheme places him in
control of all the street railroads in Phil
adelphia but one. He has combined the
Peoples electric and the Philadelphia
traction, comprising 420 miles of road
and representing stock and bonded obli-
cations of about $125, 600, 900. and has
acquired the vast holdings of Elkins and
Widener, who are known the country
over as street railroad magnates of i'm
mense wealth.
Welsh has a large contract on his
hands to make profit out of the deal,
but his numerous friends and admirers
feel confident that he will do SO. He is
tall and blond. He dislikes society,
shrinks from publicity and notoriety and
| is devoted to his home and his horses.

THE election which is being held today
is likely to have great influence in
shaping the policy Of political parties
next year regardless of what the result
may be. The people of the country have
been reversing their verdict every two
years, lately. If they shall do it again
this year it will greatly increase the I'M
certainty of next years campaign. If
they confirm their vote of last year it
will at least necessitate the adoption of
new line of policy by the Democracy.
The worst that can happen to the parties
aud the country is result that does not
mean anything.

THE STATE JOURNAL is making a big
effort to have the people of Topeka take
up the idea of having a grand autumn

the fstes of ancient Rene. and it would
repay them q hundred fold.-Meriden
