the latter is the only member of the cabi-
net of whom this is the case. The other
members of the Presidents official family
have much reason to complain that they
are little more than executive clerks. but
the holder of the portfolio Of war has new
er had occasion TO think anything of the
sort. There had been some talk of Gen.
Ruger being made SchOield's successor.
but that will be in spite of Lamont If it is
done. The army officers stationed in New
! York are said to have used great influence
with Lamont to bring about this result.
Besides, Miles is a scientist in war Kruger
Is more OF an OlQ-ldSflOntu HEnlGT. Inc
difference between the two men is indi-
Gated by their varying notions of what the
goddess of war is like. To Ruger she is
the typical Bellona. Miles would have her
an Electra, calm and unpanOpled, holding
aloft the current with which her future
victories will be won. The great soldiers
believe that electricity will play as i'm
pOrtant a part in the arts of war before
long as it now plays in the arts OF peace.
Never have the New Workers with homes
in Newport been so badgered by impecu-
NOUS titled foreigners as they are this
season. The metropolis by the sea is lit
orally alive with them. and these men ap-
pear TO think no preliminary Introduction
at all necessary to an acquaintance. This
fact explains why a certain count-he
claims to be a count-was treated TO
douche of cold water from a gardeners
hose at Newport lately, to the editication
of all beholders the news that quite
batch of foreign counts Will shortly visit
Newport is creating dread among the cot
tagers. These counts have been introduced
casually to Americans abroad and they
have habit of turning up in this country
and staying on indefinitely when invited
anywhere. One count who was asked to
stay in the house of a rich American over
night at Newport, stayed three weeks.
There was simply no way of getting rid
of him. The tip has been passed around
in Newport to beware of asking any count
to stay in the house over night. Moreover.
quite demand for garden hose has arisen
in the town.
The New York financiers have sudden
ly awakened to the fact that while they
have been combating heresies far away.
their own homes have been invaded, This
was about the last thing looked for But it
has been made evident that the silver men
are pushing their campaign very vigor-
ously in the metropolis. The picturesque
figure of speech employed by Henry Can
on. representing the bimetallist as the for
lorn Crusoe. kneeling on the shore of his
island of heresy, and watching the going
down of the untrustworthy ship that
stranded him, applies to New York now
| as truly as it does to any region in the
south and west.
The aspect of things is deemed SO serious
that a sound money mass meeting is to be
planned along the lines of the great gath
| ering in Philadelphia. Much disgust has
been expressed in Philadelphia, Chicago
| and others of our largest cities because
New York sits idly down and expects to
! do none of the hard work in the interest
| of sound money This feeling is admitted
| to be well founded, and that is why the
campaign is to be transferred to New York
| for a while. David Wechsler.
