There have been several breaks and es-
capes from the Jail. No Jail can be safe
with an unsafe TALLER. That is what seems
chiefly to have been the trouble at Mount

Postmaster f. T. Page. Of Redwater.
Tex. will be retained by this administra-
ton. and all because Of Quadruplets and
twins In his family.
Eleven years ago he was given the post
office. but when Gen. Clarkson became as
sistant postmaster general in the Wanna
maker administration an effort was made
to replace the postmaster with candidate
of the Republican party. Many applica-
tons for the place were filed, but Page aI-
pealed for retention, citing that his wife
had just presented him with bouncing
bankruptcies and that twice before twins
had been born to them. This settled the
case. Gen. Clarkson holding that that was
sufficient for retention.
The case has now come up again and q
number Of candidates have sought the
place. But Page has again protested that
the successful raising of three of the quad
rupless and two sets of twins entitled him
TO some consideration. and sent photo
graphs of three of the bankruptcies, now
almost young ladies. Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow conferred with Postmas-
ter General Cary. and the two decided that
there should be no change in that Office.

Charley Miller was in Washington last
Sunday, and. like good boy should. de-
cided TO go to church. He inquired what
church the president attended. and then
bent his steps In that direction. He told
the usher he was from Kansas, and de-
sired seat close up to President McKin-
ley. The usher sized him UP. noted the
conten.ed. wheat-field-prosperity lock, and
then marched him to the pew behind the
Mckinley household and seated him direct
ly behind the president. AT the close OF
the services Mr.. Mckinley arose and be-
gan tussie with his overcoat. And right
here Mr.. Miller gras9ed the opportunity of
his life. With gentiemanly Allow me-"
he held the presidents coat and helped him
rut it on. The cold. Icy. what-do-you-
stare melted the moment IL struck Mr. Mil
ler's face. and with cordial Thank you"
the president and his family passed out.

THE STANDARD OF THE ARMY.

What the Judge advocate at the trial
OF Lowering said with regard to the
particular offense with which that off,
Ger In charged Is Of very much less
consequence than what was said on the
general question. He paid a compli-
ment to every officer In the United
States army when he said that the
reputation OF the army officer for good
judgment. for command OF self. for hui
manity and just consideration. was on
trial with Capt. Lowering
Such practices az those to which
Lowering resorted are not uncommon
in the armies OF Europe. but they are
becoming less frequent. Three or four
hundred years ago. even in the days
when the army was a pretty tough
axsemblage. no such brutality on the
part OF officers would have been toler-
ated BY the independent, reckless men
who formed the rank and file. They
were often brutal enough to each other.
but that was not considered any Of
Tense. They quarreled and fought as
part Of their bulldog natures, but
they would have rebelled against an
act on the part of a superior officer
which even implied humiliation. OF
course. there were many occasions
when soldiers were punished. and very
brutaily punished. and they were
whipped and shot with very little re-
gard for feeling or life, but 1t was
always done In a lawful way. and the
men who took part in the punishment
were awed. II was the same In the
old days of the navy. When the armed
maritime force WAS made up Of pirates
and buccaneers. those In command sell
dom resorted to tyranny. History fur
nishes many examples OF mutiny. but
that was usually due to cupidity.
IT was after regular armies became
recruited from the rural districts and
from thu peaceable ranks. with officers
trained TO command and having to deal
with a stolid. slow-learning soldiery.
that stories OF cruelty became current.
Both In the army and In the navy this
grew to be n custom: and the reports
of tho proceedings in the British par
lament during the agitation for the
abolition Of the cat-o-nine-tails afford
evidence that a soldier or a sailor was
treated with no more consideration
than n beast Of burden.
The United States army was formed
from patriotic elements: the war Of
iSls and the civil war We're waged by
men who entered the ranks under In
spiration OF the hoilest kind; the men
were not meroenarles: they were neigh
hors and companions of the officers
over them: and the humhlest OF them
might rise 20 the highest rank There
could he no such exhibition of pre-
meditatcd and deliberate cruelty as
that which characterized many OF the
armies Of Europe.
This high plane should be kept ur:
an officer who loses his temper at SO
small a matter as the stahborness of a
private In time of peace. is not likely
tn make header In time Of war.
Hemmond's offense may have been
irritating. but 1t was too childish to
have been treated SO seriously. The
suggestion made during the trial that
the obstinate fellow should have been
lifted up by the guard and carried IN
or run into the courtroom just about
fits the exigeneies Of the case.
