1RKDY's RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Pop officials OF the Leedy admins
tration are resigning soft places for
the purpose of receiving more lucra-
tive positions at the hands of their
Pop governor, the salaries Of which are
TO be paid by the Federal government,
the places given up by these intriguing
Pops to be in turn filled by other Pops.
No other party at a time like this
would stoop to traffic offices for favor
ties. The president and the war de-
partment were notified last week from
this city that Leedy would ignore the
regularly organized militia from the
fact that such organizations were
manned and Differed by Republicans.
If he could legally do so, and that he
would. In all probability, commission
his own creatures without reference TO
prising the organizations. The new
law just enacted by congress precludes
any such snubbing of the national
guards. still yesterday mornings dis
patches indicate clearly the Pop pro-
gram as to regimental officers. Leedy
Is, after fashion, attempting to line
up the civil affairs OF Kansas IN the
interest OF the Pop contingent OF the
fusion which placed him in command,
and he has the unQuestioned right TO
command the militia while it is acting
as such But the national guards
when mustered into the service OF
Upnle Sam are beyond state control.

NAVAL STRATEGY.
bility.


There is a general lack Of informa-
ton as to the movements of Spanish
naval vessels. There are innumerable
conjectures and conflicting announce
ments with reference to the fietillas
and squadrons at the Canaries and
Cape Verde. Nothing is positively
known, either Of the movements Of the
Vizcaya and Oquendo since they left
Porto Rico. Upon the other hand the
papers are full of information about
the location of the American war YES
sells. The world is even posted as to
the movements and destination Of our
Pacific fleet and it's contemplated dem
onstration on the Philippines. The
Spanish are doing nothing, or other
wise they are more successful in keep
ing their own counsel. The Paris, no
doubt, will glide into New York on
time. But where is the Oregon and
her sister ship? Nobody knows. Nor
do the American authorities, as far as
can be ascertained, know what Spain
is up to or where she is going to strike,
if at all. 1t seems quite certain that
there is little disposition to meet US
in the West Indies. But there is no
other place that she can meet US, un-
less it is in front of the Atlantic cities,
which would mean inevitable destruc-
ton to the Spanish navy. The torpedo
boats on the west coast of Africa can
not live on the Atlantic ocean week
after week. If they ever reach this
side they must find harbors or protect

cause people could kind OF sneak by him
without being seen. But my wife had sew
eral good Arguments on the other side
she said that people Were always sus-
pectins blind beggar of being an impos-
ter and looking al him pretty colsely in
order TO ind out whether he was one or
not If they find out that he really is
blind they are so sorry for him that they
are willing to give him a copper or two,
especially as they can drop a cent in the
box and not be seen by the beggar. My
wife says she believes that ever so many
more people would give to beggars II they
could stop and dig out a cent from some
corner without the beggar having greedy
ana eNpectant eye upon them all the time.
Her arguments were that the blind beggar
gets their attention in the first place be
cause they suspect him; then he gets their
sympathy because he is genuine; then he
gets their cent because he doesn't embar-
rass them by watching them and can't re
proach them with a look because they
don't give him more. And her final arr
gument, which was a clincher, was that
she gave cents 10 a blind beggar yester
