nhsumat,..n end the Weather.

"The queerest case Of rheumatism l
ever encountered" said tie big drum
mer as he lighted i fresh cigar, twas
an old fellow who lived in our town
number of years ago. EIe had it down
to science and was the best weather
prophet ever saw. He had studied it
for years and could tell by the pain i'll
his leg just what kind of weather we
would have for the next "a hours. He
had hickory cane that be used to car
ry with him, and it was all marked out
like chart. There were notches on it
every inch or so. Some of them meant
GOLD, some hot some snow, some rain
and some frost. Whenever ne was asked
what kind of weather we were going to
have ne would put this stick alongside
his leg, and according to the point on
the cane to which the pain in his leg
was nearest, that would represent the
weather for the next "a hours. I never
saw him fail but once, and that was
when he was loafng around the corner
drug store on July afternoon and set
his cane down by his chair for few
minutes. One of the small boys around
there stole the cane and drove needle
through it and then asked the cold fell
low about the weather. He picked up
the cane, Strengthened out his leg, and
OF course when he put it alongside the
needle went into him, and he felt the
pain there most. He looked puzzled for
q moment and then tried it again. Then
he looked up and said, It's consarneo
funny, boys, but we're going ter have
snow inside "a hours. The next day the
snow didn't come, and he never got
over it.

Remember that in proportion as you are

rise to where there are only thousands,

may keep wages and place through

Let me say to all women who have
already entered upon the battles OF life
that the time is coming when women
shall not only get as much salary and
wages as men get, but for certain styles
of employment women will have higher
salary and more wages, for the reason
that for some styles of work they have
more adaptation. But this justice WILL
come to woman not through any sentl-

is physically weaker than man, and
therefore ought to have more consider

In former days the Finance Com

the books OF the different depart

were presented in the early part Of
the session anu subjected to debates,
in which the views of different men,
bers and parties were heard. Then
the officials had show for that fair
play about which Mr.. RowelPs
champion in the Advertiser is con-
stantly prating. Now report of a
libelous and damaging character
made up by some alleged expert is
presented by the chairman Of COM

EDWIN A. IRELAND.

The news of the death of Marshal
Ireland at Lake Bennett was a surprise
to everybody and terrible shock to
his many friends. When he left for the
Klondike he was robust and seemingly
in the best of health.
Mr.. Ireland had been a resident of
the state for twenty odd years, and the
state had no better citizen. He was a
modest, retiring man, never pushing
himself forward. When he was norni-
mated for marshal for Utah very few
knew who he was, though he had been
in business in this city for a number
of years, SO retiring was he He was
marshal at time when radical changes
We're taking place and all mems souls
were stirred to their very depths. He
did his duty honestly, fearlessly, patri-
otically. That he incurred the enmity
of large numbers of the people is true,
but it was inevitable, inevitable be-
cause he did his duty. But a short time
before he left for the Kiondike ne told
the writer that one of his pleasantest
thoughts was to know that the old en-
mites had nearly all died out and that
he numbered among his best friends
some who had formerly regarded him
as a mortal enemy.
Mr.. Ireland was always a gentleman,
always kind and courteous, and af-
fable above most men. He was an
even tempered man, neither given to
nor moodiness. His ideal
of duty was high and he always vn-
deavored to live up to it. In his death
the state loses a good citizen, his wife
and children a kind and loving hus-
band and father. Peace to his ashes.

the officers with the men, Indeed, it
law, the department could, if it would,
accept services of officers under such
conditions, as the governors of the
states appear to be the only persons
authorized to issue commissions below
the regimental grade. There are many
other various questions to be settled
before the regulations can be promul-
gated, but. fortunately, in the judg-
ment of the department officials, due
notice having been given to the people
of desire for more troops by the gov
eminent, there is no occasion for haste
in deciding upon details, in view of the
fact that the full draft of men called
for under the first proclamation has
not been secured"
If the national authorities do not
know just what they will do or how
they will do it, in the matter of calling
out these volunteers, they should. The
war department should know precisely
what it can and what it cannot do in
all matters connected with the calling
out Of volunteers and formulate its
plans accordingly. Most certainly all
questions relating to the regulations
should be settled before they are pro-
mulgated, but they should have been
settled long ago. If there is no oc-
casion for haste in deciding upon de-
tails, because the full draft of men
called for under the first proclamation
has not been secured, then a second
proclamation should not have been is
sued.
There has been no haste at Washing
ton and there are no signs that there
will be. 1t is said there is no need for
haste now. The people will not agree
with the statement. The volunteers
that are now in camp are being held
there for the purpose of drilling and
disciplining them, and that they may |
be seasoned and hardened before being |
sent to the front The volunteers Cow |
called for should be undergoing the |
same training those already in camp |
are; yet the people are informed there |

preparations for moving upon Cuba

HANNA'S CIRCULAR.

The goidbugs think themselves as
wise as serpents, whether or not they
are harmless as doves Mr.. II. H.
Hanna, secretary of the Indianapolis
currency convention, has been sending
circulars all over the country telling
what progress currency reform is max
ing and how the bill now before con-
gress is looking pretty well, thank
you,'' and how the friends of honest"
money should not cease in their efforts
to further the good cause. They are
told how important it is that the
ground gained should be held and how
hard it is TO regain lost ground The
circular is adroitly drawn but it will
hardly have the effect its author in
tended.
While this circular is really of little
Importance one way or the other, it
shows how active and persistent the
gold men are in their propaganda, and
how they do not intend to relinQuish
any of their schemes. So long as the
war is on, it is idle for them to think
that they can arouse the least interest
in their schemes to reform the cur
rency and it is surprising that they
should attempt it. While all this is-so,
it is proper that the friends of silver
and the free coinage cause should be
advised of what they are trying to do.
The silver men have sense enough not
to try and agitate their cause at such
an inopportune time as the present.

THE BRIGADIER GENERALS.

Yesterday the president sent in quite
a number of nominations for brigadier
generalships. The great majority of
vorably, as they are from the ranks of
the regular army, which fact is a guar
antee of fitness. Some of the other
names are of those who have been in
the army, such as Captain Charles A
King, the novelist, and Colonel Fran
els V. Greene, who was for some years
an officer of engineers. The names that
will attract most attention are those
of Colonel Fred D. Grant and Harri-
son Gray Otis.
Colonel Grant is the eldest son of the
late General Grant, and is a graduate
of West Point. He was ons Sheridan's
staff for some years. Undoubtedly he
owes his nomination to his fathers
fame and not to his own merit, but
this fact does not mean that he has not
military ability. In fact he is badly
handicapped by the fame of his father,
the greatest soldier produced by one
of the worlds greatest wars. That
fame will undoubtedly spur him on to
make name for himself, and there is
no reason to doubt that he will not
make as able a brigade commander as
the majority of those named for briga-
der generalships.
Harrison Gray Otis has a very good
military record. having fought through
the civil war, coming out a lieutenant
colonel. While his record is very good,
undoubtedly his nomination is a purely
political one. He is at present editor
and proprietor of the Los Angeles
Times. His title to fame rests, and al
ways viii, upon the famous Murchison
letter which was sent to Sir Lionel
SackVille-West as decoy and ELECTED
from him the reply as to how. Anglo
American citizens should cast their
votes in the presidential election of 1888.
and which resulted in President Cleve-
land sending the British minister his
passports.
These nominations seem, on their
face, to be very good ones.

TREATMENT OF THE KANSAS
VOLUNTEERS.

The condition of the Kansas volun-
teers at Camp Richmond, San Fran
cisco. has been a scandal and an out
rage. They were ordered from their
own state when they were in no sense
prepared to go. They were without
camp equipage. without uniforms, with
out arms, without food, almost without
everything. At Denver they were COM
PEELED to buy food themselves, having
no rations. Ever since their arrival at
Camp Richmond their condition has
been truly deplorable; they have been
little less than objects of charity, GER
tainly of commiseration.
Somebody is to blame for this, either
state or national authorities, and the
blame should be located. Had the
American people read of a lot Of Gu
bans being treated as these Kansas
volunteers have been they would have
been indignant beyond expression,
while the chances are that congress
