Hint 20 Political Orators.

FROM the Philadelphia Record.
The torpedo tubes are being taken out
Of the big battleships. The torpedoes are
considered more dangerous to the vessel
thai carries them than they woul be 70
any object of attack. This experience of
the big battleships ought not to be lost
on some OF our political orators and or
gans. They should remove their torpedo
tubes before they shall be blown up with
their own scurrility.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The presi-

Gen. Miles came to the war depart

short time in his room at army
headquarters went to the Office OF the
secretary of war. Ac ing Secretary
Meiklejohn and Gen. Miles chatted
some time on general topics Of the
campaign in Porto Rico. Shortly af-
forwards the general left the depart
ment. Speaking Of the future of the
army, Gen. Miles said that there were
a number Of matters which required
careful and deliberate considerat ion
with respect to army reorganization
and that undoubtedly steps 10 that
direction would be taken as soon as
practicable. With respect to the re-
organization of the army, Miles said
that the experience Of this war very
clearly demonstrated what the mill
tary authorities well understood be-
fore, that the establishment of
standard was necessary to the en- ire
efficiency of the army. He said it
was his intention to recommend a re-
organization to congress and that he
believed the necessity for it would be
recognized by the public and by con-
gress. he acquisition of territory
obviously made it necessary that
there should be larger army, and
the experience of the war had dem
Cnstrated the necessity OF es ablish-

should be directed by military men,
he said, was too obvious to need to
be stated.

WHAT FRANKLIN DID FOR US.
Deep Debt for Many Good Deeds We
Owe to the Great Man.

Here is list of the good deeds OF
Benjamin Franklin.
He founded the Philadelphia H.
Erary, the leader in the field Of hun
dreds of others of similar character.
He edited the best newspaper in the
colonies, and gave start to the press
of America.
He exemplified the value OF ad-
vertising in modern business.
His Poor Richard" maxims were
wit and wisdom that brought home
valuable truths to readers such as
they could understand and make oil
practical service.
He established the pcstoffce system
Of America.
1t was he who caused Philadelphia
to be paved, lighted and kept clean
He invented, when fuel was scarce
the Franklin stove, which economies
it; and made a free gift of his in
vention to the public, besides sug-
costing various other heating inven-
lions, later on, in which this country
leads all others.
He was the remover of the once
universal nuisance-smoky chimneys
He was the first effective pro-
mulgator Of the gospel Of ventilation
He made imp rtant electrical dis
coveries, and, as Is said, robbed
thunder of it's terrors and lightning
Of its power to Destroy"
He was instrumental in founding
the first high school in Pennsyl-
vania; he protested till his death
against using funds Of that in
stitution in teaching youth the Ian
guage Of Greece and Rome, when
French, Spanish and German were 80
much more required in regular COM
mercial transactions.
He founded the American Phil
osophical society, the first organiza-
ton of the friends of science in this
country.
His aid was valuable in founding
the Pennsylvania hospital.
He led that state in it's struggle
of thirty years against the tyranny
Of the Penns.
When the Indians were carrying
bloody marauding expeditions within
eighty miles Of Philadelphia he COM
manded and led the troops of the
city that were sent against them.
He was the author of the first
scheme for uniting the colonies; his
scheme contained many features that
bind the state Of the union today.
More than any other man he was
instrumental in causing the repeal
of the stamp act, and more than any
other man he educated the colonies
up to independence.
He discovered the temperature OF
the gulf stream and that northeast
storms began in the southwest.
1t was he who directed attention to
the advantage of building ships in
water-tight compartments, getting
the idea from the Chinese.
In Paris he saved the alliance
from being destroyed repeatedly, and
brought the negotiations for peace to
a successful close.
He ,Jred for the abolition of
slavery toward the close Of his life,
and in aid of those emancipated.-
