lhe strength which Major Mckinley has de-
veloped in the western counties of the State is
a fact to be seriously reckoned with Up to Sat
urday 1t had been more or less a subject of
speculation. But on that day the XXXIld
Congress District Convention was held, and two
delegates to the National Convention were
elected who are pledged to Mckinley; even
Controller Roberts being set aside In order that
there might be no shadow Of doubt as to the
sentiment of the district. In the XXXIVth
District there are also signs Of a decided Nc
Kinley sentiment, and there is strong likeli-
hood that delegates favoring the Ohio man will
be chosen. That the champion of protection
will be designated as the second choice OF not
q few delegates in the State Is more than prob
able.

Whether or not the grade OF Lieutenant-Gen-
eral should be revived and made permanent for
the commanding officer OF the Army. is an open
question. There is a good deal to be said on both
sides OF it, But it should be determined accord

sonalty Of the officer who at the present time
would thus be promoted. II General Miles is
worthy to command the Army, he Is worthy to

VIEWERS portraits present him In many as
nects-some as ferocious as that Of a Madagas-
car nitrate and some as bland and benevolent

NAV have brought with him to the ever faithful

display the entire length and breadth Of his
character as 1t was disclosed In his previous
campaign. How It Is that OF his many portraits

There is urgent need Of reform In the matter
of street signs at the intersections Of the thor
oughfares Of this town. In TIE old days these
signs were placed on the lampposts In such
way that they could be read with tolerable ease
at night With the general use Of electric lights
the old practice should have been abandoned,
though in point Of fact the lampposts have in
many cases been retained as sgn-holders. 1t
is time for the adoption Of new and rational
system that should be carried out consistently
through the city. Foreign cities have shown
what ought to be done. Strangers should not
be subjected to the annoyance and confusion
that result from the present condition Of things.
