The lieutenant GeneraI Grade.

The letter Of the Secretary Of War. Civ
ing reasons for his opposition TO the bill
comforting the rank Of Lieutenant general
on Maj. Gen. Miles. appears 10 be a very
sensible document. The secretary re-
views very briefly. but thoroughly. the
history Of the grades Of general and lieu
tenant general, the reasons why they were
permitted TO lapse and why they were
revived in special instances. The secre-
tary puts a good deal of history into
very brief space. The substance
Of what he says is that the grades of
general and lieutenant general were Gre
ated originally for the purpose Of con-
ferring special honor upon officers who
had won great distinction as command
ders of armies, and as rewards for great
military genius and conspicuous leader
ship. They have been revived on sew
eraI occasions for the same purpose and
at the death of those enjoying them al
lowed to lapse. The secretary does not
think there is sufficient reason for reviv-
ing the grade of lieutenant general at this
time. This opinion, however. does not
detract in the least from the merits of
Gen. Miles. He has not yet had an OPP
portunity tc demonstrate his capacity
to command a large army He has made
a remarkable record in the positions he
has filed, and should the opportunity
present itself. it is believed by those who
are capable of expressing an opinion that
he would demonstrate the possession of
military genius sufficient to entitle him
to the grade of lieutenant general. or
even that of general.

Charging Is the last resort Of brave

A story is told of the French minister,
NJ de Freycinet. In the midst of trial of
a man for high treason, he became deeply
interested in an argument with the ac-
cused to the effect that his crime might
have been committed much more easily
and cheaply.
acter and ability. Before he became a
politician he was a Skillful engineer.
When he was president Of the judicial
council a man who was accused OF help
ing to pull down the Column Nendome in
1871 was brought before him.
The man confessed his guilt but plead
ed that he was young and fanatical at the
time, and that he had been drawn into
helping to pull down the column by his
pride as an engineer in arranging scat
folds and ropes to accomplish the feat.
You are a criminal" said the minister;
severely. you insulted the history and
the glory of the country in destroying that
column But" he reflected a moment, "how
did YOU do it? AS a uestion of engineer
ing, l would like to know"
ooh, it was very simple" replied the
accused, and he sat down at the table,
drew out a plan, and calculated lines,
curves and angles, while the minister bent
over him, following the work with inter-
est.
AS it went on, however, Freycinet shook
his head, shrugged his shoulders and
smiled, and when it was finished, took
paper and pencil, and SAID:
THAT isn't bad, but you might have done
It much more easily and economically"
Then in his turn covering the paper with
curves. angles and calculations, he proved
that twice as much time and money as
were necessary had been expended.
However" he concluded severely, you
were guilty of high treason against the
nation, and must pay the penalty
The engineer did not escape with a light
sentence, but he had much satisfaction in
replying:
say that it had cost me too much al

For u Currency Commission.
From the Chicago Record Qnd.).

Representative Heatwole of Minnesota
has offered in the national House of Rep
resentatives a. resolution for a non-parti-
san commission of experts to investigate
and make va report on the subjects of
banking and currency. His resolution au-
thorizes the President to appoint nine cit
liens, eminent in trade. political econ
omy and banking, to act with the con-
troller of the currency as such commits
sion. Mr.. Heatwole's resolution is in line
with a suggestion offered by the Chicago
Chamber OF Commerce when the last con-
gress was in session, but never acted
upon. The idea is an excellent one, and
the resolution should be adopted. Con-
gress seems unable to legislate in the in
terest of currency reform. President
Cleveland recommended the retirement of
the greenbacks and asked congress to sug-
gest some other remedy if that was not
10 its liking. Congress has done moth
ing. The fact seems to be that the con-
gressmen themselves are not sufficiently
well informed to act tremendously and
intelligently on the subject The report
OF an able commission would serve to
clarity to a considerable extent the views
OF members Of congress and OF the people.

The Applause for Cleveland.

The one thing that arrests public atten-
ton in connection with the joint debate
between Mr. Crisp and Mr.. Smith at Au-
gusta is that the references to Mr. Cleve-
land were received with more applause
than any points that were made for silver
by Mr.. Crisp or against silver by Mr..
Smith. That was significant of what? 1t
meant that the audience approved the
financial views of the President. Mr..
Cleveland stands for sound money. He is
the most conspicuous champion of it
among public men. 1t is recognized that
he is in the rural communities as well
as in the cities and towns.
The press report of the debate was
sent out by paper that favors free silver
coinage. We have no fault to find with
the report. As far as we are able to judge
it is an absolutely fair one 1t contained
this sentences 1T Is worthy of note that
the greatest applause of the evening fol-
lowed the commendatory references to
President Cleveland" The admission
from such a source means much.
The applause did not mean that the peo-
pie want Mr.. Cleveland nominated again.
though doubtless. he would be renomi-
mated if it were not for the third term
tradition. 1t meant that the efforts that
the President has made to maintain sound
money have their approval. They are
able to see through the sophisms by which
the silverites try to hide their real pur-
pose, which is to force the country to a
silver basis-to silver monometallism.
They don't want unsound money, and the
silverites will find it out before the end of
this year.

hero. No military man has any business
in the presidential chair, but if they offer
it to me l suppose I'll be d fool enough
to accept it And he was. It was shortly
after fathers marriage to a niece of Col
Carter. in 1898, that he made the south
ern. campaign tour Tom Marshall of
Kentucky was then running for congress.
He was defeated by a song which father
wrote, and this brought a challenge to
a duel. Eighteen boon companions of nv
father answered the challenge and told
Marshall that he must fight all of them
singly or all at once, but the eighteen
men he must meet Somehow this duel
never came off. and Marshall never after
ward alluded to ii but once, and that was
when he first saw fathers canvas, The
Last Victim of the Flood Standing be-
fore the painting Marshall seemed visi-
bly, impressed. Finally, drawing himself
up TO his fun hight, he turned to father
and said: Beard. you're a mighty good
