The Grade of Lieutenant-GeneraI

The Grade of Lieutenant TIC eneraI.
The proposition to revive the grade Of
lieutenant general does not meet with
much favor. II is thought that it is not
timely. The feeling seems to be that 1t
viii be time enough to revive it when it
shall appear that it ought to be conferred
upon some one of our generals. AT present
there is no concensus of opinion that it
ought to be conferred upon any particular
one Of them.
The understanding appears to be that the
proposition 10 revive it is made in the in
terest of Gen. Miles. He is the senior ma
ior general, and if it should be revived he
would naturally be made the lieutenant
general. But would it not be better TO let
him demonstrate that he is entitled to 1t
by reason of merit before comforting 1t
upon him? The war with Spain will doubt
less offer him the opportunity to win the
higher rank to which he aspires.
Thus far the navy has won all the hon
or in this war. One commodore has been
made an admiral and an assistant naval
constructor viii probably be made a lieu
tenant commander They won this. promo
ton by deeds which thrilled the whole
country.
The army is havA69 an inning now. 1t is
stated that Gen. Miles has decided to go
to Santiago and direct the operations of the
army at that place. There will be other OPP
portunities doubtless before the war is end
ed for him to demonstrate that he ought 10
be raised to the rank of a lieutenant gener-
al.
There is one, thing that Is certain. It is
that If Gen. Miles proves he is entitled TO
promotion he viii get it. The American
people are notably generous, and if Gen.
Miles is successful in handling the army
in this war they win insist Upon his hav-
ing what he waptss but he win ask in vain
for lieutenant generalship until he does
something which the people will think en-
titles him TO that honor.

Senatorial ImmacuIateness.
From the Springfield Republican Qnd.)

The horror expressed by the Senate
when It learned that a lobbyist "nagged"
a good share of the appropriation voted to
satisfy the claim of the book concern of
the Methodist Church South, is one of
the richest humors of the day. The way
the senators piled upon that poor book
concern and jumped on it for committing
so outrageous an offense as to "divvy"
with a lobbyist passes description. What!
Trihe with the honor of the Senate! This
is certainly a new deal since sugar trust
days. When a tariff bin is before the
Senate, there are no lobbyists about All

An anonymous patriot in South Carolina
is trying to arouse the people 20 the i'm
portance of voting forsmen as members
of the legislature who think more of stock
and sheep than they do of dogs He
wishes to see a law passed which will rid
the state of its worthless, sheep-killing
ours and hounds. South Carolina, he says,
is well adapted 10 the production of wool,
but that industry will never amount to
anything as long as the people prefer dogs
to sheep. Our Southern legislators never
hesitate to pass laws for the protection of
fish, and birds and deer. Indeed, in this
state we have gone to the extent of throw
ing the strong arms of the law around the
'possum; but we have no mercy on the
sheep. The reason is that the owners of
the dogs have votes, and the legislators
are afraid of them. They have not the
moral courage to take the worthless dog
by the throat and choke the life out of
him.

Years and years ago Joe Blackburn of
Kentucky, then a member OF the House
of Representatives, voted to seat William
Mckinley as the representative of an Ohio
district. The only other Democrat who
voted, with him was Frank Hurd. 1t is
said at Washington that the President has
never forgotten Mr.. Blackburn's vote, and
that now he is contemplating proving to
the Kentuckian his appreciation by Civ
ing him an appointment as brigadier gen
eral That is the sentimental side of the
story. The proba bilities are that If Mr..
Blackburn gets an appointment, and his
chances are said to be good, it will be
because he demonstrated in the civil war
that he is a good soldier.
