Some opposition to the measure to re-
( vive the grade of lieutenant general OF
the; army in honor of General Miles has
developed among southern members of
Congress and senators because of the
Z fact that while Jefferson Davis was a
prisoner at Fortress Monroe, just after
the assassination of Lincoln, General
Miles placed him in irons. The bill mas
been fayorably acted upon by the senate
committee on military affairs, but, pre-
vious to the action, a southern senator
wrote to the committee -and called at
sention to the. records OF the war depart
ment, saying that in view Of the incident
referred to;the proposed promotion Of,
General Miles would be resented by,
many southern people. The committee
investigated these records. with the re-
suit that while the inciden: OF placing

THE .lNTELEiGENCER.
WHEELING. MARCH 10, .lsos.


Senator Proctors dispasslonate re-
view OF his Impressions OF the, condition
OF affairs In Cuba, gained during visit
there, is valuable as coming from man
who was given every facility for close
observation to enable him to form a
calm and conservative Judgment. His
statement delivered In the senate Thurs
7 day commanded an attentive hearing
from his colleagues because OF this fact,
and because they felt that the senator
was rendering faithful and nnpreju-
diced account OF his self-imposed mis-
! sion. and they knew HIM to be u man en-
tirely free from sensationalism, such as
has characterized SO many of the press
dispatches that have come from Hava-
ma. They may also have felt that he
was forecasting information that would
come from official sources.
The statement made a profound I'm
pressiop, not only upon the senate. but
upon the millions OF readers VINO found
1; in their newspapers the following
morning. In many respects It was con-
tirmatory. of the reports that have been
published concerning the failure OF auto
Z nomy on the Island. and the political
conditions that prevail. While the SEN
ator did not venture to express an opln-
ion upon the cause ofthe Maine disas-
ter. he had decided opinions upon the
situation as regards the Spanish ability
to restore peace to the island. and the
general incapacltyof the Spanish troops.
Senator Pructor's statement that he
! had gathered from even the autonomists
themselves the Impression that they re-
Garded the policy of autonomy as. a fail
ure, and hopeless as to the future be-
cause it had come too late, will have
great effect upon Congress in shaping
Its course concerning that phase OF the
situation in the future. Because of the
apparent fairness OF Its statements, the
calm discussion Of the condi-
lions prevailing, and the judicial
4 tone OF its utterance, Senator Proctor's
address; will belregarded in the country
at large as an interesting contribution
to the mass OF information that is being
gathered by the intelligent statesmen of
the United States 10 aid them In the
consideration, OF the delicate questions
before the country. Senator Proctor's
investigations have Clearly convinced
him that the policy which is being pur-
sued by the administration IS the policy
OF wisdom and discretion.

The Intelligencer does not desire to re-
aett upon the sincerity OF those who OPP
pose the division OF the state into two
federal judicial districts. They are as
good men as those who favor 1t and no
one will impugn' their motives, notwl,h-
standing the motives OF some who are
supporting the measure have been mis-
represented. Attention, however, has
been called to the fact that among the
opponents of the measure. are certain
officers who would possibly have in
cohiesfrom fees reduced by It's passag e.
These gentlemen may not be moved in
their opposition by any selfish consldera-
tloil and yet the conditions are such that
ioNrg to this circumstance their ener-
getlc opposition to a division, which has
been shown to be desirable for, many
reasons, is more likely to help the bill
than TO injure It's chances.
