DEMoRALIzINe THE ARMY.

Whether anything ever comes of the
army investigation in progress or not,
the effect will be demoralizing to the
military service. There have been I'M
savory disclosures enough already to
shock and chagrin army officers who
take pride in their profession and have
little interest in political maneuvres.
Even those who started out at the
beginning of the Investigation to dis
credit every complaint that was made
Of army mismanagement, are now con-
tending, in half Apologize tone: 'An
things considered, the department has
done very we'll"
1t may suit Alger, under the circum-
stances, to be damned by such faint
praise, or rather, he may prefer it to
what might be said of his conduct of
the department, but no trained intel
ligent ambitious, and wide-awake Of
ficer Of the army win feel like congrat-
ulating his chief over such finding.

practice of doing political work for pro-
motion in the service has been intro

The government is teaching men to rely
upon pull rather than merit; to storm

Nothing could have been more per-

THE DEMOCRACY OF HERolsM.

A heroine, too, was developed at the
burning of the Baldwin hotel in
San Francisco. Kate Richardson,
a chambermaid, displayed a pres
ence of mind, a consideration for
the safety Of others, a quality of cour-
age surprising under the circumstances.
Five years ago she secreted in her
room on the fifth floor q, piece of rope
long enough to reach to the street be-
low. When the alarm was sounded, she
fastened one end of the rope to heavy
piece of furniture, and threw the free
end out. She induced three lady guests
and a girl companion to descend. which
they did in safety. Then she implored
Captain White to leave, but he refused
to go until the women we're all saved.
Reluctantly Miss Richardson consented
to precede the captain. She reached
the street in safety.
The heroine lives, but the hero per-
ished.
Heroism is found in every walk of
life. At san Juan the Arizona cowboy
and the Fifth avenue swell charged up
the hill together. At the San Fran
cisco holocaust the capitalist and the
chambermaid each displayed the high
est type of courage.
And every hamlet has its hero, I'M
developed and unsung. OF a morning
he may be seen coming from the home
of affection, facing hardship, going to
his daily toil earning scarcely enough
for the actual necessities of life, deny
ing himself the nourishment he re-
quires, perhaps, that medicine or deli
cacies may be had for some suffering
loved one. At eYen-tide he may be
seen again, returning from the labors
of the day, worn, no nearer indepen-
dence than he was the day before, OF
the week before, or the year before
but with a love-light in his eyes to
greet the little circle whose existence
from day to day depends upon his abil-
ity to keep going.
Some heroic deeds stand out in bold
relief because they are unusual, and
a tragic setting draws attention to
them. But there are victories won by
unknown Cromwells. there is courage
shown by village Rampdens, hidden
amidst the obscurity Of adverse circum-
(. stances. as noble and as worthy OF
glorifcation as any deeds that shine
upon the pages Of history.

As Good AS a Native

General Sir Herbert Kitchener, the
sirdar commanding the Anglo Egyptian
expedition in the Soudan, is evidently
man of resource, if a story told of
him be true. The sirdar is tall, dark
skinned man, who, in disguise, would
easily pass for a native and his knowl-
edge of the character of the tribes and
of their language gives him an adyan-
tage in dealing with the people
AT one of his camps on the Nile so
runs the story, two Arab date sellers
were on certain occasion arrested, be-
ing suspected of being spies. They
were confined in the guard tent and
were not long left alone, for soon after
their detention third Arab prisoner
was unceremoniously bundled into the
tent.
Thereupon an animated jabbering be-
gan, and was carried on for a few mo-
ments. The two prisoners were by no
means reticent in the presence Of one
of their own race, who was, like them
selves, prisoner, and they let their
tongues wag fast.
After few minutes conversation the
sentry was surprised to see the latest
arrival draw aside the door. and step
out.
"All right, sentry" he said. 81 am
going to the general"
1t was Kitchener, and he had himself
investigated the case to see that Justice
was done.
A few minutes more passed and again
the door was opened. This time an or
derby appeared. He handed a spade to
each of the prisoners, and they were
! then marched outside, made to dig their
own graves and then shot They were,
in truth, as had been suspected spies,
and the general had convinced himself
of the fact.

Poor. But Honest.

The archbishop of Canterbury is sin
gular among the roll of English pri-
mates for his hatred of pomp and dec
grafton. Once, when the guest of a
country clergyman, he was much an
noyed by the display of silver candle
sticks in his room. After his lord
ships departure these candlesticks
were nowhere to be seen. The dis
tressed clergyman at once wrote to the
bishop, as he was then, telling him of
his loss, and adding: Can you tell us
what has happened?" The reply came
by wire: Poor, but honest; look in
the chest of drawers.
This is not the only silver adventure
in which Archbishop Temple has been
concerned. On another occasion he
was put up by a clergyman during the
absence of that clergyman's wife. On
leaving, the host politely expressed the
hope that when his next lordship hon
ored the house Mrs. Temple would ac-
company him. mo, thanks the arch
bishop laconically replied, Mrs. Tenn
pie doesn't like roughing it." The
clergymans feelings were deeply hurt
for the visit had meant some expense
and much anxiety to him. He unbur-
dened his soul to his wife on her return

didn't surely put the bishop in the pink
bedroom, did your He did. ooh!

SOME eoLDBue OPINIONS.

Almost every bigoted goldbug organ
in the country has been sneering at
Senator William Vincent Allen of Ne
braska because the influences which
came near carrying the state in 1896
actually succeeded this year, which
will probably cost the senator his seat.
They have not been content to gloat
over the prospect of a genuine gold
bugs being his successor, but they
have cast reflections upon his honesty,
his ability, his usefulness as member
of the greatest law-making body in the
world.
The Washington Post prints some Gu
logistic remarks pronounced upon the
gentleman from Nebraska by Secretary
]. Sterling Morton, which the Post be-
lieves every fair-minded man will en-
dorse. They should convince the bigots
of the error of their ways.
The Chicago Record gives an inter-
view with Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john, which show the esteem in which
the new target of goldbug abuse is ac-
tually held by those who know him
best:
Although many of our people differ
very widely in opinion from Senator
Allen" said Mr.. Meiklejohn, they re-
spect and admire him as a gentleman
and statesman, and 1 may say that
he is universally regarded as one of
the brainiest men in this country. I
have no sympathy whatever with SEN
ator Aliens views on the financial
! question. In fact, think he is entire
/ ly wrong, but 1 am always willing to
testify to his ability, honesty and sin
cerity of purpose, and to the labor he
has performed and the sacrifices he has
made in the public service. 1 am sure
all the Populists in our state, and a
large majority of the Democrats, re-
gard Senator Allen as the ablest leader
of the fusionists. and that they would
be gratifed by his nomination for the
presidency"

been hoodwinked and cajoled in every
possible manner into ..endorsing and
applaudings McKinley's policies, they
have been misled by these who have
posed for years as their guides in the
crusade for bimetallism, they have been
victimized, in other words, by crowd
of political bunco steerers who were
dressed as countrymen, but were act
ing in collision with the national gold
bug party.
Senator Mcbride says further: I'm
February, 1896, cast the only vote
from tie Pacific coast in either house
against the silver bill. 1t is a matter
of some pride to me that every Repub-
lican vote from the Pacific coast in the
next congress will be for sound money.
I held then that the west was just as
much interested in sound money as the
east, and there could be no such thing
as one kind of money for the east and
a different kind of money for the west.
These ideas have been gaining ground
in the west, and we want legislation
! that will assure us a stable currency,
based absolutely and without any
equivocation on the gold standard"
No such ideas have been gaining
ground in the west. The men who
voted for the gold standard party in
the west, as a rule, did so without ideas.
But the senator's frank admission of
the real object Of western Republicans
who. knowing something about the
financial question, still cling to the ma
| tional organization, ought to prove an
eye-opener to the people of the west.
I'VE want" says this representative
western Republican. Legislation that
will assure us stable currency, based
absolutely and without equivocation on
the gold standard
1t is the policy of the administration,
he says, to push the. currency reform
measure through ito make certain that
no free silver legislation can be passed
for six or eight years." This. is one of
! the policies endorsed and applauded"
by Utah Republicans in their state
platform this year But" the Oregon
statesman continues, "as the law stands
now, it would be possible for a free
silver president to put this country on
a silver standard within week after
his Inauguration. The law provides for
the payment of certain government OBJ
legations in either gold or silver, and
by directing payments in silver, which
the president undoubtedly Has author
ity to do, the silverites could establish
directly their propaganda, and even if
the house were Republican it would be
quite difficult to change the law
These sentiments are reproduced for
the benefit of Utah people, that they
may see what policy the Republicans
endorse applaud and intend to carry
out; to show them that the goldbugs
are frightened at the prospect of a
Democratic victory in 1900, as they are
trying to put silver just beyond the
reach of the people in such an event.
For Senator Mcbride says, in conclu-
sion:
IF the law was made positive about
the payment of government obligations
in gold, the country is secure against
the acts of g, free silver president"

"THEREIN The HONOR LES

An exchange seems to think that
General Harrison could not accept the
high Office of United States senator
without lowering his dignity. The
gentleman himself is quoted as sharing
this opinion.
Since when did the ex-president's
dignity climb so high? He is a plain,
everyday citizen of the Hoosier state;
honest and brainy, but he has not tai
ent or influence too good for the secret
counsel Of his party; then they are
not above public employment in the
same way. And aside from party
measures, Benjamin Harrison would
make an able representative of the
state which has honored him so often
in the past The next senator will be
a goldbug anyway and, While the gen
eral IS that, he is also honest in it
which all goldbugs are not.
But why should ex-President Harri-
son regard a seat in the national sen
ate beneath his dignity? Other ex-
presidents have accepted lesser posi-
tons without complaining of humilia-
ton or protesting against the assault
upon their dignity, and General Harri-
son is no better than some of them.
James Monroe was elected justice of
the peace in Virginia after he had
served his country as its chief execu-
tive for eight years, four years longer
than Benjamin Harrison held it.
Thomas Jefferson was president
eight years and road commissioner
afterwards. Rutherford B. Hayes
served in the same humble capacity
after a residence of four years in the
White House.
George Washington acceptedNa CON-
mission in the army under his success
sor, John Adams. John Quincy Adams
scholar, statesman, diplomat, served
his. country as secretary of state
represented it as minister to England
ran for the presidency three times
held the office of chief executive -four
years and was afterwards elected to
the lower house of congress.
Andrew Johnson ran for the house
after having been president; he was
defeated but received an election to
the senate. Ex-President Tyler ac-
cepted a minor Office from President
buchanan. 1t is not recorded that one
of these men felt that he had sacri-
feed his dignity or disregarded any
propriety by discharglng the duties OF
a minor Office.
Ex-President Harrison is an Ameri-
can citizen. There is no grander title
than that And the American citizen
who does his duty in whatever office
his constituency places him is honored
There are degrees of responsibility il
public positions, but no grades Of
dignity, no clinging titles, no of1icia
caste.
