EDITH.

I stood beside garden wall
One day and carved q name In stone,
The sweetest name that had known;
u was thine own,
And this was all.
Anon invading MOSES came
And o'er.the words traced they grew;
Avid rose climbed above them TOO
And hid from view
Ny darling Q name
There came no answer 70 my call
One day because my dove had flown:
Beneath the name upon the stone
wrote "Alone"
And this was all.

little awkardly.

WHO IS THE KANSAS HooDool

Perhaps there is notnlng stfahSe
in the fact that the soldiers who vol
unteered for service and got nothing
but sentry duty and scant army ra-
tons should feel disgruntled. Ex-
istence at Camp Merritt was not a
round of pleasure, and even at the
Preside there were things to be de-
sired. But the Kansas regiment
has had the unhappiest time. In
the first place its Governor permit.
ted it to leave the state i'll clad and
destitute of every means of comfort.
Upon its arrival here the men were
observed to be ragged, shoeless and
unkempt, and because of this they
were taken to the public heart.
The Red Cross women did all that
was possible for them and the Kan
sans were duly grateful.
At first the regiment was without
a colonel, a lieutenant colonel be-
ing in command, and he quickly
demonstrated that he was totally
unfit for the responsibility. When
the colonel reached the camp he
brought order out of confusion,
drilled the men into line, got decent
equipment, and soon had regi-
ment that any officer might be proud
to command. The revolution he
wrought made the subordinate sick.
He went to the hospital, was almost
dismissed from service for incom-
potency and has never since seemed
to have a joyous moment. There
has been trouble in the ranks.
Some minor official got away with
commissary stores and was publicly
disgarced. Now he accuses his su'
piors of being culpable with him.
The lieutenant colonel left the hos
pital, nursed his grievances and be-
gan to stir up strife. He is threat
ened with arrest. There seems to
be a hoodoo on the Kansas boys.
The fault is not with the regiment,
not with the colonel. 1t rests far
Their back. 1t can easily be traced
to the Governor. Leedy is Pop
ulist. He brought to his high po-
sition all the crankisms which con-
stitute greater plague to Kansas
than the grasshoppers ever did. He
tried to live up to all the fool notions
of his creed, and his career has in
consequence been one long mistake.
In all of this there is a lesson fol-
California. The Democrats are
trying to foist Populist Governor
upon California. This state wants
no Leedy, nor Pennoyer, nor Waite.
1t has seen results enough. There
is no occasion for it to try expert
ments. We can learn from the
Kansas hoodoo without putting q
hoodoo of our own into the execu.
| tive chair.

VETERANS IN COMMAND.
How Some of Our Army and Navy Leaders Line Up fin the Way
 of Experience.

Should the outcome of the complica- lions with Spain be a resortto arms the United States will not lack for leaders trained in the art of war. In fact, most of the men who would have places of great responsibility and be called into active service have not only "smelled powder but have distinguished them selves in military duty.
 There is President Mckinley, the commander in chief of the army and navy of the United States, who was a gallant young officer in the union army and fought bravely in many battles from 1861 to 1865.
 Secretary of War Alger, the member of President McKinley's cabinet upon whom would fall a large part of the work of conducting operations, is trained soldier, and gained high rank in the union army during the civil war. His bravery was attested by severe wounds received in battle.
 Of those who will direct movements in the field, Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the commander of the army; Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt, Maj. Gen. John R. Brooke, Brig. Gen. Elwell S. Otis, Brig. Gen. John I Cepfinger, Brig Brig. Gen. Wfii- liam R. Shafter, Brig. Gen. William NJ. Graham. Brig. Gen. James F. Wade and Brig. Gen. Henry c. Merriam, all were officers during the civil war and have shown ability and soldierly qualities of high order. Most of the senior off cers of the staff departments of the army were also trained in the severe school of actual war 30 odd years ago All the field officers-colonels lieu tenant colonels and majors-of the reg lments composing the regular army had similar experience. Some of them reached the rank of brigadier general or major general in the volunteers. Many of the captains graduated into the permanent esta blishment by way of the battlefields of the civil war.
 Tn the navy there is not rear ad- mlral, commodore. captain or com mander whose first commission does not date back to or before the late war. Every man of rank above lieutenant commander has been in active service Whlle hostilities were carried on, and a goodly number have been especially dis ungulshed for courage and ability in ac'lon. To the regular fighting force VI the country must be added large reserve, which includes not only vet 'fans or the union army, but former Ooniederates as well. The country does not lack for defenders as brave and bril- Times.

PlNkERTON IS TO HELP.

In Running Down Spanish Spies.
William A. Pinkerton, one Of the
principals Of Pinkerton's National De-
tective agency and son Of the famous
detective and government spy, Allan
Pinkerton, has been recently called into
the government secret service to hunt
for Spanish spies.
When he went from Chicago, Mr..
Pinkerton left word that he would be
back in two weeks, but his friends say
he expects to be absent much longer
than that, and that the time of his re-
turn depends entirely on his success in
running down a coterie Of Spanish spies
and plotters who have been hampering
the work of the navy department.. Some
Of these conspirators are thought to be
in the United States government service
at Washington, and it is supposed Mr..
Pinkerton will devote himself and some
Of his trustiest men to unearthing these
traitors. It is exactly the same work
which Allan Pinkerton was given by
President Lincoln at the outbreak of
the rebellion.
No one would talk of Mr.. Pinkerton's
whereabouts at the headquarters of the
Pinkerton National Detective agency at
Chicago the other day further than to
say he was out Of the city. In fact, it
was said Mr.. Pinkerton had not made q
confidant Of any one about the agency,
and his subordinates were as much in
the dark regarding his movements as it
was intended the public should be- At
the same time that Mr.. Pinkerton left
Chicago it is said that number Of the
trustiest detectives Of the agency made
preparations to leave also, and that
they have been dropping out of the city
in various directions since their chiefs
arrival in Washington, presumably to
work under his direction. Most Of the
task Of ferreting out the Spanish con-
spirators will of course be left to these
men, but Mr.. Pinkerton will have the
charge Of the hunt. Chicago Tribune.
