TWO MEETINGS WITH MILES.


Los AnGcl08.
Zone night in the office of the Hotel
Raymond in Pasadena. Cal. - said a
traveller. II met General Nelson a.
Miles. was introduced to him by Ma
lor Ben c. Truman. The Office was a
big apartment with a great fireplace en-
one side of it. There were large rocking
chairs scattered about for the comfort of
guests who chose to sit there, and it
was q room to which ladies did not hes
itate to come if they had occasion to
visit it.
ION this night there was fire in the
great fireplace. perhaps as much for
cheerfulness' sake as anything else, and
the big room was decidedly a pleasant
place. General Miles. Major Truman
and myself sat there until IL O'Clock
The general talked freely and most in
terestingly. and to me it was a most
enjoyable evening. i had always had
the heartiest admiration for General
Miles-I had been a soldier myself
and l thought should always remem.
Der that evening with qualification.
THE next morning, while going out
OF the Hotel Nadeau in Los Angeles,
met gentleman who said Good morn
ing. stopped and talked, but could
not possibly recall him. Presently he
said:
You don't remember me-
II said did not.
My name is Miles, he said
We'll, wished that the Hotel Ma
deau had been getting in coal and that
there had been q convenient coal hole
open for me to slide into, but there
wasn't, and did the best could under
the circumstances, which I guess was
poor enough, but the general was per-
fectly good humored about it, for which
l was profoundly thankful
Seeing the general in different
light or amid totally different surround
ings and when / had least expected to
meet him, coupled perhaps with some
degree Of natural absentmindness on my
part, had brought this discontinue upon
me, and chagrin over this second en-
counter with General Miles has always
materially lessened my enjoyment Of
the first. New York Sun.

Congressman Picker, chairman of
the house committee on INVALID pen
sions, has prepared a bill of consider
able Importance to all pensioners.
1t is designed to stop the construc-
ton now being placed upon the pen
sion laws in cases where doubt exists
and which at present are always
against the claimant. The Majors
bill would reverse this. In addition
to this the bill broadens pension. laws
and makes several points more dein-
lite and specific. His position at the
head of this committee, gives the
Major an advantageous position in
pension matters, and in all probabili-
ty his bill will pass congress.

Secretary Carlisle twisted the treas
ury accounts so as to show a small
surplus for December instead of the
regular democratic monthly deficit,
for the purpose of affecting proposed
financial Legislation. Congressman
Dingley of the house waysand means
committee. however, says if the ac-
counts We're properly put together
there was deficit for December in
stead of a surplus as reported. Sec
rotary Carlisle, and of course the ad-
ministration also, is engaging in very
cheap craftsmanship.

THE PURIU' DFRT-

st. Paul Pioneer Press.-In August
1865, the government debt of the
United States reached its highest
point. Between that date and March
1898, it's outstanding obligations
were reduced by the enormous total
Of 81 ,SS1,367,S73 Since the latter
date-or since the democrats have
had control-the national debt has
been increased by S162, CO.,, 245 with
n certain addition OF 800, 000, 900
and possibly 5000, 900, 600 more, so
that the present four years admins
tration may close with an addition
to the national obligations of nearly
- per cent, while every previous adj
minlstration has succeeded in dimin-
ishing them.

The Cubans and Sp~aniards are still
fighting and running in Cuba. Re-
ports from there are not considered
very reliable. All the news sent by
the Spanish is favorablet to their side,
while that from insurgent sources is
Just the opposite. The main point
established however is the fact that
the Spaniards were mistaken in sup
posing months ago that they could
easily crush out the rebellion.

That visionary space writer at
Deadwood has kicked up another
muss. He telegraphed to his list of
papers that Nowlin county COW boys
were going to have bull fight, the
proceeds of which would go to help
some church. Eastern elergymen are
now writing to persons inthe herding
country west of the river protesting
against such an occurrence. There
was probably never any idea of such
Il thing.

the Monroe doctrine, with Uncle Sam
back of it will be the cause of what
ever action is taken. England is like
the average boy who always wants
to compromise and do something he
don't wish to do in a different wayfrom
that suggested by his father. He
knows he must do it, but thinks he
is the victor if he doesn't do it exact

such a meeting held there would en-

England now wants the southern
African gold fields, and has troops on
the ground. There is precious metal
in the Venezuelan ground that Eng
land wants also. The British are
modest. If they could also capture
the western gold fields of Uncle Sam
perhaps they would be satisfied.

Valued Opinions.

Those who are best qualified to
Judge OF any enterprise or industry
are the persons who have themselves
become familiar with such industry
by personal experience. Hence the
PRESS is not only grateful for the
kindly sentiments expressed below by
contemporaries, but values their
opinions because of their fitness and
qualifications to be judges upon such
q matter:
Chamberlain Journal.-THE MIL
LER PRESS, edited by j. A. Bushfeld,
is fourteen years old, and every year
it becomes more popular with it's
readers throughout the state. Bro.
Bushfieldisa logical republican writ
er, who at all times expresses himself
in language that cannot be misunder-
stood, and cockOoism is not known
in his makeup of men or subjects.
You have our best wishes for all time
to come.
Iroquois Chief.-Bushfeld's pride.

volume fifteen. The PRESS is de-
cidely all right and SO is its genial,
and scholarly and gentlemanly pub

Miller should be proud of.

quaintances and one of the most

Sioux Falls Press.-The Miller Pho
neer Press has entered it's fifteenth
year, and Bro. Bushfield announces

Bushfeld, the publisher, has been
connected with the Press thirteen
years. The Courier extends best
