From the Washington Post April Io.
The last official document To which
Stonewall Jackson attached his sigma.
ture after his promotion To corps com
mander was one urging the appointment
OF Gen. Walker, now representing one
of the Virginia districts in the house as
a republican, To take command of Jack
sons famous Stonewall brigade. Gen.
Walker is "a member of elections com
mittee No. 3, on which several ex-union
soldiers are members. The other day,
in committee, Walker related how he
was shot at fredericksburg, December
81, 1868. He was riding down the lines,
he said, when union sharpshooter
from the river bank pinked him, the
bullet passing through the fleshy part
of his left arm and striking a package
of paper over his heart. The force of
the bullet was spent against the paper,
and his life was saved, but the sensa-
ton, the General described was some
thing like being hit with a brick bat.
1t was "A powerful good piece of
sharpshoot," he said, considering the
distance and the accuracy with which
the marksman hit the bulls eye, and
Pm mighty glad he didn't try it again
before | GOT out of range"
AT this juncture of the story Thomas
of Michigan, scratched his head and
remarked that he had done some pretty
sharpshooting on the picket line OF the
union troops at Fredericks burg that
day; and then Jenkins of Wisconsin,
fell In with a similar statement. Gen.
Walker listened with interest to their
statements Finally he said
Gentlemen, | have no doubt in the
world that either one or the other of
you is entitled to the credit of picking
me off at the head of the line | had
no opportunity to identify the clever
rifleman, but | thank heaven that
whichever Of you two it was, you were
far enough away TO give an exhibition
of your skill without any more disagree
able results to me than a flesh wound"

this view that Mr.. Chamberlain has not

AT The BURSTING POINT
Political Prophets Say McKinley's
Boom Is at Its Height.
First Ballot Cry Is Raised and the
Other Candidates Are Help
ing II Along. :

Those who are watching the develop
ment of the various booms from non
partisan point OF view believe that the
indications grow stronger that the Mckinley
boom has spent itself.
The result in Texas, where the Reed
Allison carried the day against the Me
Kinleyites, was followed by the great
Reed demonstration in Massachusetts, and
has now received further impetus in the
action of the Territorial convention OF
Oklahoma, which voted down resolutions
indorsing Mckinley and sent uninstructed
delegation. but one composed, IL Is under
stood, of Reed men.
1t now looks as il Mckinley would not
receive the delegates from the South with
the solidity counted upon by Mark Hanna
and Congressman GroSvenor. The acton
OF Massachusetts is significant, for that
State never gave Blaine any but grudging
support He was not Il New EngiaDder to
the manner born, and was regarded all his
life as a newcomer by the stiff-necked
puritan communities.
Reed is Il New Englander. Therefore is
he accepted with cold enthusiasm by Massa-
chusetts. He is of them, and not simply
among them, as Blaine wes. Yet it will
probably require all the political skill and
organizing strength of the managers of the
candidates. Of his opponents TO prevent
McKnley's nomination on the first TWO or
three ballots.
The opinion con tiuues TO grow that if the
Ohio man is not nominated on the first
ballot he cannot be u Omiuaued at all. There
is also an opinion that if anything like
prolonged deadlock occurs the Indiana men
viii seize the opportunity to spring Harrison
upon the convention with fair chance, fair
at the very least, ofhis nomination.
The friends Of the other candidates will,
it is thought, prefer to turn to him than to
see new rival named, for the reason that
he would be done for good and all with
one more term, where any other man
would cXpec, to be rcnominated.
This argument, it Is believed, would not
appeal very powerfully TO ancient mariners
upon the political seas, like Morton aud
Allison but it would 10 both Reed and Nc
Kiney. they being young enough TO wait.
In conversation with some friends at
Chamberlin's the other night prominent
manufactures suggested novel reason why
he was opposed TO McKinley's nomination.
If said he. Mckinley should he
elected every man employed in a pro-
tected industry would expect to have his
wages raised the day after election, while
AL those thrown out or employment by
the depression IN business would expect
10 be re-enploycd Immediately"

fact that ne is far ahead OF al other can

not be introduced in connection with
the police department. To do so would
he following the exampleof many Northern
cities. In one of tie large towns OF Cen
necticut they have a regular physical
training school for policemen in which
the men are required TO practice gymnastics
for certain length Of time every day, in
order to keep them from accommodating
too much weight. 1t serves to promote
not only their official efficiency, but their
personal well being.
Reference has already been made to
letter carriers. Has anyone ever seen a
fat letter carrier? Certainly, Washington
ioes not possess one and personal recol-
lection does not bring TO mind such a one
in any one of many cities visited. This
fact would seem toargue that the continued
practice Of swift perambulation will tend
10 keep a man in trim and prevent his
getting too stout 1t would not be a
bad idea therefore, TO establish one or
more tracks in connection with the police
department, perhaps one in each precinct
where the officers should be required
to take an hour Of swift walking exercise
every day. This should be compulsory,
the men being al liberty, of course, to
supplement their sprinting by any other
gymnastic practices they might see fit
to indulge in.
There is hardly any doubt that such
an innovation would benefit the men
and render them physically more efficient
in the discharge Of their duties.

There ought to be not less than a half

One innovation could easily be inaugu-

would be very gratifying to all the people.
There is 40 reason why the collections
