1t is exceedingly doubtful if Gen. Miles
expected that what he said to the cores
pondent of the Kansas City Star. assum-
ing that he really said it, would be made
public. 1t is not likely that the COM
manding general would publicly criticize
the War Department or his subordinates
through the medium of a newspaper in
teryiew. There is nevertheless consider
able probability that he said the things
attributed to him. for newspaper corre'
spondent would hardly manufacture them
out of whole CLOTH His remarks about
Gen. Shafter would seem to indicate that
he somewhat regretted having permitted
the latter to reap all the glory OF the sur
render of Santiago when he was on the
ground and practically in command. But
what he says on this point is of small
moment as compared with the allegation
that he notified the War Department soon
after the capture of Santiago that the
army was infested with yellow fever, and
strongly advised it's removal to the New
England coast as the only means to pre-
serve it from destruction, and that no at
tention was paid to his recommendation.
Interesting also is his assertion that the
plans for the Porto Rico campaign all be-
came public and we're as we'll known to
the Spapiards as to the Americans;
and that it was for this reason he
changed the plan en- route. Unless Gen.
Miles repudiates the assertions attributed
to him by the Kansas City Journal there
is a red hot controversy in prospect AL
GER and Corbin and Shafter will all have
to take the matter up and give their sides.
While the war in the field is over there
are plenty of signs that war over the
conduct of it is going to rage for long
time to come.

CONCERNING BOOKS.

This is not tie season for many new
books: it may be that the war had led

have been read and discussed, and it is

novel from the pen of Miss Varina Anne
Jefferson Davis is of special interest, as
we'll as the book itself to which has been
given the title ga Romance OF Simmer

1t will be very easy to take too much
stock in the promise of the Phil.
ippine insurgent leader, Aguinaldo,
that if the United States will pledge
itself not to return the islands to
Spain and keep them itself they will lay
down their arms and rest content. The
extent of Aguinaldo's control over the
heterogeneous elements that go to make
up what are known as the insurgents is
problematioal. II we take any or all of
the Philippine group we shall have to
keep an army of American soldiers on
hand. Men of the stamp of the natives
are not to be relied upon to keep the
peace, unless there is considerable body
of well armed troops close at hand to
strike terror to them occasionally. 1t
won't do to assume that we shall be able
to rule them by love OF by giving them
what we may consider, and what nc
doubt will be, good government.

Echoes from the Pines, A Day of Thanks
giving, and Choral Leaflets. The pres
emit work is very dainty and attractive,
beautifully illustrated, and intended for
use in the home and in infant schools. 1t
contains both verse and prose. and the
idea is to cultivate the child's taste, di-
rect him to good and noble literature,
and give him pure and beautiful
thoughts. The musical form in which
all this is put win please child's ear
and attract his attention, thus leading
him to take the first steps in the path of
knowledge. The pictures, too, will at
tract child, and they are carefully Sc
lected and of choice subjects.
The book is called Happy Thoughts and
Pleasant Faces. There are several patri-
otto songs in the tiny volume, the short
est of which we quote:
"Hurrah, hurrah for the dear old tag,
That waves go glad and free
Hurrah, hurrah, for the stars and stripes,
For the grand old colors three!
Hurrah for the patrio is brave and bold,
Who rang out 'Liberty!'
Hurrah for the Union of Blue and
Gray
From the centre to tho sea!
Hurrah for the motto: In God we trust.
And praise and bless-stis meet and
just"

An army of Christians at the front
would be more preferable than an a1my
of politicians, surely, Mr. Press. Farm

Why can'ta politician be Christian
and why can t a Christian be politician?
In short why can't we have an army of
Christian politicians or political Chris
tians recruited and sent to Manila. That
would be an ideal kind of an army-and
Maine no doubt could furnish first class
cemmander-in- chief for it.

a mistake to say that the Pacific ocean

How strangely geography will read when
revised according to this rule. Thus:

For this reason he believed that we would
be Justified in retaining 1T, and he said
he has held the same sympathetic feeling
toward the Philippines. He wished to be
understood as not saying that he was
convinced that the United States should
hold the Philippines. His sympathies
were as strong in regard to this island,
however, as to Cuba. AS the President
must be aware that Senator Frye holds
this opinion his appointment as peace

The reason, and the only reason, the
swindling games at Rigby Park have
not been stopped is because the persons
whose business it is to stop them have
not done their duty. These games are
not worked secretly or in an out OF the
way place, but in plain sight OF every
body who does not shut his eyes. Or their
character there is no doubt. 1t some
times happens that game is so close to
the dividing line between the legitimate
and the Legitimate, the lawful and the
lawful that an officer may hesitate to in
terfere. But there is no such difficulty
in this case. The games that are COM
planned of at Rigby are downright
swindles. In gambling games there is
a chance for the player, but in most of
the games that are complained of at
Rigby there is no chance for him what
ever. The player is robbed just as GER
tainly as if he was held while men went
through his pockets. Scores of persons
have been swindled out of considerable
sums by these games the past week,
and vet not a man has been arrested, and
ND to the time the weather interfered
the games were in full blast.

A correspondent of the Providence
Journal asserts that the last time Senator

The only way by which the responsible
ity can be fixed for the deficiency OF food
and medicine on our troop ships and at
our camps is by an investigation by Con-
gress or perhaps by board OF army
officers, though some suspicion might at
tach to the latter on account of the close
connection of Its members with the
service wherein the deficiencies have
occurred. 1t is altogether probable
that many men who are entirely in
nocent of all blame in the matter
are being harshly criticised and it would
not be strange if many Of the real oul-
prits were out of sight, and could only be
brought into public view by such an IN
yestigation. If it is for the advantage OF

The Atlantic Monthly is forging ahead
under it's new management and we are
promised delightful things in the Sep.
tenber number. Not the least interest
ing will be the first installment of SO
ries of letters written by Thomas Carly lie
to his youngest sister. Mrs. Henning,
whose recent death parmits their publ
cation. These letters are SO tender, affec,
tlonate and full of simple and gentle
piety that it makes one feel as If the be-
loved Jane WEIGH was not altogether the
soothing, comforting and comfortable
companion that his rugged nature and
gruesome temperament required have
always felt that, as the country folk say,
"She was hard to get along with" while
the little sister Jenny seems to have ap-
pealed to Carlyle's sweeter and better
qualities. 30
Among other articles contained in this
number is a very brilliant sketch by Viii.
liam Roscoe Thayer of the life and char
acter of Bismarck, in which the political
methods and achievements of the great
statesman are keenly analysed. "Dyna-
mic, and not moral were Bismarck S.
ideals and his methods" writes Mr..
Thayer. "The magnitude of his work
no man can dispute. In type, Bismarck
belongs with the Charlemagnes, the
Cromwells, the Napoleons; but, unlike
them, he possessed in equal mixture the
qualities Of lion and fox, which Machia
yelli long ago declared indispensable to a
prince. He had no soruples. What bene,
fitted PRUSSIA and his King was to him
moral, lawful, desirable; forss them be
would suffer popular odium or incur per-
soral danger. But whoever opposed
them was to him an enemy to be over
come by persuasion, craft OF force. ]
discern in his conduct no more regard for
morality than in that of Mohawk sa-
chem . toward his Huron foe." .
"The world, as he saw it, was q field
in which nations maintain a pitiless
strugele for existence, and the strongest
survive: to make his nation the strongest
was, he conceived, his highest duty. An
army of puny- bodied saints might be
beautiful to pious puny-bodied imagi-
nation, but they would fare ill in an ao-
tual conflict with Pomeranian grena-
diers." "Thus he is the latest
representative of type which f1ourished
In the age when the modern ideal Of pop
ulsr government had not yet risan."
According to Professor William
Sharpe. who writes an entertaining re.
view of ths life and work of Burne-
Jones, ait may OF may not be true that
it was Rossetti who urged the brilliant
painter. at the outset of his career to con-
meet with hyphen Burne and Jones. ="
"Jones is nobody" Rossetti would de-
clare, "only particle out OF vast null
tiple But Burne- Jones, that is upmis-
takable!" And he would designate the
good or bad work of friend in this
manner: Eyes, that is Burne-Jcnes, but
this, you know, is only Jones;'' or,

here is only Hunt" or "You can hear

We have two handome volumes from
the publishing house of Messrs. l.. ..
Page & Company: Bill. the Dancer,
written by James Blythe Patton, and IL
Illustrated by Horace Van Ruth; and
Cross Trails, by Victor Waite, illlustra-
ted by J. W. Kennedy. The former is
sensuous story of Northern India, very
cleverly done, and holding ones interest
from first to last. The author has &C
complished q difficult feat in Keeping
the voluptuous atmosphere and tone OF
the Orient, and not lapsing into the plain
English OF thought and sentiment as is
SO often the case with writer's who are
not upon their own ground.
Cross Trails is a tale OF adventure,
which IS sensational to degree; and
will, doubtless, sbe found immensely ill
teresting to tina many who revel in stories
of the Wild West. There is a special fas-
cination to the young and inexperienced,
in this fiery and daredevil sort of litera-
ture, but whether it conduces to good
manners or morals is quite another ques-
ton. portland: Loring, Short & Har-
