GIN. MILES AND Politics.

Miles had good cnance to enter poliu-
cal lite at the time the war closed. The
truth Is that he was offered tho nomina.

his abilities arc sucl that he would
probably have taken high rank as a
statesman. Thinking Of this, asked:

Miles remained in the service and con-

history has ever forced so large a band
Of Indians to surrender Ia battle as he.
None have been In so many Indian en-.

his Indian campaigns have been filled
with adventures which would make

GEN. NILES MopEsrY.
General Miles is a broad guage man,
and his book will abound in valuable oh.
seivhtions. 1t will tell the story OF the
conquest OF the great west, and Of the
building up OF the empire beyond the
Mississippi. He Is perhaps the best au.
thotity on the Indian question now liv-
ing, and part OF the book will treat OF
matters regarding the indians. The
chief danger as to its great intereS, may
come, | believe, from Gen. Miles mod.
csty. lie is so simple In his makeup
that he does not seem to realize that his
life has been more than commonplace,
and In his private talks about the things
Of which he has been so great part he
puts himself IN the background. Dur.
ing my chat with him about his book
ASKED him many questions as TO his life,
and had to ask again and again 10 get
at his real part in the actions he de-
scribed. My talk with him was more OF

It contained so much OF interest that /

AS was looking over the contents Of
the book at one time during the evening,
reviewing as 1t were, Gen. Miles career.
I thought how wonderfully he was lifted
by nature for tie work he has doGe and
the question as to how he got into his
proper groove in the machinery OF the
universe came to me and asked:

he would give up his ambition to be

money he had saved and all he could

enabled him to 20 to the army as first
lieutenant. This was at the beginning
OF the civil war. and from tina, as a start

only when his hurts were so great that

DELUDED WHITNEY.
In Due season He Will Discover that
there Is a Wide Difference Re.
tween the silver and Green
back Question.

Boston, June 1O.-Ex-Secretary of the
Navy William G. Whitney was inter-
viewed at the home of his mother, in
Brookline, last night. He said: II am
not and will not be presidential candi-
date. II the silver men should carry the
next Democratic convention, 1t will split
the party. The democrats must stand
for sound money. There are many
sound money men in the west and south,
and the Memphis convention think
helped the cause along. Carlisle's speech
was an excellent one and deserves to be
widely read. II undoubtedly had an in
fuence in the south. think the people
will eventually treat this question the
same as they did the grsenback question.
They want sound money now Just as
they did then" Whitney said he felt,
however, that the free silver question
was liable to assume the same propor-
tions or evei. greater ones than did green
backisn. He intimated that an organ
ized educational movement was neces-
sary to counteract the spread of the
free silver craze. ~ do not think the
Republicans care to reopen the tariff
question again." he said, "they see they
would gain nothing by it. The money
question will dominate everything in
the next campaign unless there is radi-
cal change In sentiment within the next
year."

New York, June 1O.-Rev. DIR. John R.
Hall has contributed the $1,000 that his
income tax might have been to the fund
for home missions asked for by the gei.-
eral assembly. It is said many persons
of wealth have thought of giving an
amount Of money equal to that saved by
the death Of the tax to charitable organ
izations. Rev. DR.. Langford, secretary
of the foreign and home missions of the
Episcopal church, said to-day: I'VE have
recently received letter from an anony-
nous contributor inclosing sum of
money. The donor stated that the money
was to have been used to pay his income
tar, bnt SINCE the law had been declared
unconstitutional he felt like giving the
money to charity. Still more recently we
received check for $1,000 from lady
in this city who 10 noted for her charity.
She said that now, since the income tax
had become dead letter, she felt able to
