Let Him Earn 1t.

There is no doubt that those who are
urging the passage of the joint resolution.
now pending in Congress, to revive the
grade of lieutenant general of the army,
are doing so in the interest of Gen. Miles.
They are trying to create the impression.
however, that they simply desire that
grade revived because it is the proper
grade for the present organization of the
army, by saying that in the event of the
revival of the grade the President would
have the right to nominate any officer
for the position. While it is true that
the revival of the grade would not neces-
sarily mean the elevation of Gen. Miles
to the rank of lieutenant general there
would be a great deal of bad feeling in
army and political circles if the Presi-
dent should pass by Gen. Miles. the senior
major general, and name some other
officer for the place. All of Gen. Miles
friends would expect him to get 1t, and IL
he didn't get 1t there would be so much
dissatisfaction and discomfort that the
country would be seriously handicapped
if there should be war with Spain
II IL dullilteu lndI zen. Miles mas an
excellent record. He has been, and still
Is, a capable, conscientious and faithful
officer. but he has never done anything
that would Justify confering upon him,
higher rank than he now has. While he
has proved himself equal to the duties
and responsibilities of each of the posi-
lions he has held he has not shown that
he has the ability as a soldier that was
possessed by those who have been honor
ed with the rank of lieutenant general.
The reason probably. that he has not
shown it is that he has not had the op-
portunlty. In the war of secession he was
very young. His career in that war, how
ever. was a brilliant one. Still, he has
never demonstrated what he could do as
the commander of a large army. Would
it not be better therefore for him to wait
until he has proved his right to the high
rank of lieutenant general before asking
that 1t be conferred upon him? When he
has earned the rank there will be no on
position to his having 1t. 1t would not
be said then, as it is sometimes said
now, by those who do not feel very friend

Our City Government.

Our people are no doubt wondering Just
what sort of a city government we have.
Since the coming of the commissions
commissions which do not recognize any
authority superior to their own-we have
had many-headed government, and the
consequence is that the cost of government
is Increasing and the benefits thereof
are decreasing. We are to pay an
additional tax of $4,000 or $4,000 a year
because a couple of the members of the
Fire Commission refuse to make changes
in the fire department demanded by the
insurance companies and the City Coun-
Gil, and which the public would like to
have made. The Fire Commission and the
Police Commission refuse to play together
any longer, and the taxpayers must now
pay for two electricians and for having
two sets of poles for carrying the wires
of the two departments, thus dishguring
the city with unnecessary poles. There
are complaints that the streets haven't
been so Uttered with paper in years as
they are in these days of commissions,
and 1t is charged that the streets, which
are torn up Tor mouse drainage purposes
and railroad changes, are left in much
worse condition than they were before
they were disturbed If the commissions,
as we have them, are good things, some
body ought TO point wherein the city has
been or is being benefited by them. We
certainly haven't better government than
before there were commissions, and the
cost of government isn't less. Is it the
fault of the commission system or of the
commissions? And who of the city author
tiles points out to the electric lighting
company where the company may put up
its enormous poles? What's the use of
spending money in identifying the pub
lie squares when the electric lighting COM
pany has the privilege of disfiguring them
by filing them with unsightly poles? If
a firm stand had been taken in favor CT
slender iron poles. the beauty of the city
wouldn't be marred with the pole nui-
sance.

Their Records ana Comment..

The people of the state have escaped a
Joint debate between the candidates for
the Democratic nomination for Governor
but they are being inflicted with the nub-
lie records of the candidates and com
ments upon them. The most attractive
parts of the speeches which the candidates
are making and the letters they are writ
ing are those in which they attack each
others records. The reason why they are
the most attractive is that a crowd likes
a scandal better than it does a list of yir-
tues.
Not one of the candidates finds ANYTHING
good in the others. Each candidate is
hunting for material to lessen the respect
which the people have for the other candi-
dates. They haven't got so far along vet
as to call each other hard names, but it
looks is if they would reach that point
before the campaign as many days Older.
1t has already been lnsinuated that Mr.
Berner Is not sincere because, 1t is alleged.
he was once in sympathy with the gold
bugs. and is now shouting against corpor-
atoms and the money power Col. Gambler
Is told that It would be unwise for the
Democratic party to name him as its can
didate because nc is not as honest In his
campaign methods as he pretends to be,
and Judge Atkinson Is twitted with aons-
Ing on to the cfice of railroad commission
er while seeking The Office of Governor.
If the three candidates should get on the
stump together they would, with the hope
of winning favor with the crowd paint
each other so black that their most init
mate friends wouldn't recognize them, and
yet the one which wins the nomination
will have the hearty support of the other
two, after the ticket is chosen But if the
candidates believe what they tell the peo-
pie about the unhtness of their opponents
for the gubernatorial Office why do they
say they will support the successful can
didate for the nomination, and if they
don't believe what they say what ought
the people to think of them? Wouldn't ii
be better for the candidates to deal frank
~ with the people?

| fiat, but when another arrived, and still
third before the first was years old,
they thought it time to appeal TO the
Board of Health for relief. Mrs. Stanton
and Mrs. Lawrence think the Kellars are
wilfully and maliciously prosecuting them.
by thus rapidly adding to the chorus, and
in declining to keep the youngsters behind
locked and padded doors, in the most iso-
lated room of the fiat.
On the other hand is Mrs. Kellar, the
young woman of old-fashioned ideas with
regard to woman's sphere in the world,
and the especial privileges of children.
Her children, she afirms-and submits the
children themselves in evidence-do not
cry more than other ordinary and healthy
babies of their age. Indeed. it is natural
for them to cry sometimes, and If they
did moi she would feel very uneasy about
them. She wants them to cry; she likes
to hear them do so occasionally. they cry
so unsteady, she says. 1t is a poor sort
of a physical culturist, she says, who
cannot stand the occasional crying of a
little child, saying it brings on nervous
ness and insomnia. yes" said Mrs. KEEL
lar, I've had three children In three
years and a half, and I'm glad of it, and
1 hope to have a dozen. That's one thing
I married for-to have a big family of
children and make good American men
and women of them. That's what / think
is a woman's business" Then she added,
with a little energetic dash of vindlcitive-
ness, "And I'd like to have the whole
dozen right in this fiat" She declared en-
phatcally, however, that there was no
thought of conspiracy to annoy the neigh
bors in this. She was merely living up to
her conception of her own highest destiny;
she was not interfering with Mrs. Stanton,
and did not propose that the latter lady
should interfere with her.
The Board of Health declined to act in
the premises upon the complaint as made,
which leaves the victory thus far with
the young mother with old notions. The
old mother with new notions. however, de-
clares she. is not yet done with the mat
ter, and will amend her bill of complaint.

Senator GaIIinger,s Error.

If the people OF the United States
thought that the government was prepar-
ing for war with the view of acquiring
Cuba the war feeling would cool quickly.
There is no strong sentiment in this coun-
try in favor of acquiring Cuba. The opn-
ion is held by great many of our ciu-
zens that we ought to have Hawaii and
Cuba and all the other islands in our
vicinity so that other nations wouldn't
have nearby base from which to oper-
ate against US in the event of war with
any one Of them, but that opinion is not
having any great influence in Congress at
this time. The people don't want Cuba
and would not willingly have lives de-
stroyed and money wasted in getting pos
session of it. Therefore, Senator CALM
ger made a mistake when he said in his
speech in the Senate a day or two ago
that the United States would of necessity
absorb Cuba sooner or later, and that
the time TO absorb it, in his opinion, was
now.
If 1t were understood that the govern
ment meant to take possession of Cuba
the President would feel his support drop
ping away from him, and we should lose
the moral support of every country in Eu-
rope. If we are to have a war with Spain
1t must be on higher grounds than that
suggested by Senator Gallinger-it must
be for humanity's sake.
But we do not want war at all II
1t can be avoided without loss of honor
The people who would have to do the
fighting and bear the losses if there should
be war are not the ones who are shout
ing for war. They are quiet hoping for
peace, but ready to do their full duty If
trouble should come. The most of those
who are making themselves conspicuous
by shouting for war have no intention of
doing any fighting or contributing in any
way to the support of the government in
the event of war They do not make pub
lie sentiment and are regarded as of but
little account in determining what the
voice of the country really IS.
Inc Democratic, as well as the Republi-
can, leaders in Congress feel confident that
the President isn't going to provoke war
with Spain-that he will take only such
steps in respect to Cuba as he feels COM
PEELED to take and other Christian ma
tons would approve. BY adhering to that
policy war may be avoided. but If It
should come it would be regarded as a
Just war, and no friendly hand would be
stretched out to Spain to assist her.

Courtesy and Discipline in Old Vir-
gfniu

In an old biography of Chief Justice
Marshall there is an anecdote which gives
a significant hint of the discipline to which
young people were subject in that earlier
day, says the Youths Companion.
Several of the great jurist's nieces were
in the habit of visiting him, and as they
were young and attractive, the house be-
came rendezvous for the leading young
men of the city during the afternoons.
Judge Marshalls black majordomo, old
Uncle Joseph, held tight rein upon these
visitors. Every day at 4 O'Clock he would
appear at the door of the drawing room
in spotless livery and WITH a profound bow
would announce:
Ladies' his honor, the Chief Justice,
has retired to his room to prepare for din
ner.
Gentlemen, dinner will be served at
half-past 4 o'clock. 1t is now A. His honor
will be pleased if you will remain, and
covers have been laid for you at the table
If you cannot remain. will you permit the
young ladies to retire to prepare for the
meal?"
The gentlemen usually took their leave.
and the ladies retired in an ill humor; but
any remonstrance with Joseph was only
answered by: ut is the rule of the house
Young folks must be kept within bounds"
In Virginia houses of the better class
notwithstanding their almost boundless
hospitality, the calls of young men in that
day were strictly held within limit No
one was received as a visitor to a girl I'M
less his antecedents and character were
well known to her parents.
If his visit was prolonged until after 10
o'clock, the invitation TO family prayers
was given. If he seemed likely to become
an habitue of the house, and so to engage
the thoughts, and perhaps in time the af-
lection, of the young girl who was Its chief
treasure, her father quietly asked purport
of his visits, and, IF he had none other
than his amusement, courteously requested
him 10 discontinue his calls

From Puck.


There is magic in the music when the
fountains of her mirth
Into liquid waves of laughter ripple
down;
And her eyes a deeper rapture
In their dreamy moments capture.
But I cherish most her features archly
gathered in frown.
In the masquerade of faces desolation
wears a smile.
While the gravest In demeanor Is the
clown;
But L know that in revealing
Every transient thought and feeling
She Is nearest when her forehead sweet
ly burrows with a frown.
In her eyes there CLEANS a splendor which
no shadows can subdue,
Like the CLINT upon the waving fields of
brown;
AS the glowing embers mingle
With the ashes on the ingle
CLOVIS her soul among the thoughts
which gravely walt upon her frown.
All the shifting lights and shadows which
her April eyes assume
Wear a charm of which this aspect is
the crown:
And If she could guess the ardor
OF my thoughts as 1 regard her,
How / wonder would her features coldlv
gather in a frown

National Quarantine.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.).

While Senator Caffery was speaking in
favor of the national quarantine bill Sem
ator Bacon of Georgia proposed an amend
ment providing that nothing in the act
shall be construed to interfere with the
right of any state or municipality TO make
such quarantine regulations as it sees fit
Senator Caffery said he saw no objection
to such an amendment. 1t would, how
ever, nullify the national statute, for it
would give every state and every town the
right to defy federal authority and estab-
fish just such foolish and tyrannical regu-
Ia tons as were established in several
Southern states last summer, a repetition
of which 1t is the main object of the pres
ent bill to prevent. Contagion observes
no state lines, and preventive measures
should recognize none.

one of the most significant orders that
has yet been issued by the naval auth ,ri-
ties is that directing the painting of the
ships dark color. Our white fleet" is
very beautiful and picturesque, but white
will not do for fighting color since it
would too clearly define the target for the
enemy. Some time ago the department
made experiments with colors for war YES
sells, and decided that a very dark drap-
green was about the best for war paint;
and, now that the ships are going into
war paint, it would appear that the au-
thorities anticipate hostlities.
