The first night the family moved into
their temporary quarters, they started
a roaring fire. Some time after they
had retired, the father was awakened
by a peculiar noise. and, on investiga-
ton. he found that the foor was lit
orally covered with a w%rithing. twist
ing mass of snakes. 1t seems hat
their den was beneath the big fiat rock.
and the heat from the fire started ear
lier in the evening had driven them
out. The inmates got out of the cot
tage i'm safety. and the next morning
the workmen on the new house killed
seventeen snakes. which were hung in
a row on the yard fence. And thus has
the snake season been g~loriously
opened. And thus has the incompar-
able vigor and intensity OF Kentucky
whiskey again been splendidly vindi-
Gated.

The Office Miles Wants.

z n the report which a committee has
laid before the senate. with reference
to the revival of the office of lieuten-
ant general. much is said i'm praise Of
General Miles as a commander and Of
his services in time of war as a COM
manding officer. There never has been
dispute over the excellent services
rendered by General Miles during the
war of the rebellion. His Indian fight
ing has also been praised: there are
those who live in Montana who We're
here when General Miles was and who
refuse TO accord him much of the
reputation he enjoys i'm the East i'm
connection with certain Indian achieve
ments i'm Montana. The concentrations
of the senate committee. however, may
be well enough; they are like those
that were before the department of
war when Daniel $. Lamont was war
secretary. General Miles was promoted
to be general in command of the army
when Lamont was in charge. No
sooner was Miles promoted than he
began his scheming for the title OF
lieutenant general.
At that time Colonel Lamont adj
dressed a letter to the senate commit
tee on military affairs. in which he said:
The present major generals of our army
attained brilliant POPULATIONS for gall
lantry while commanding subdivisions Of
army corps during the late conflict. and
have added To their laurels since by efii-
cient performance of arduous service
upon the Indian frontier: but IL is no re-
Election upon these excellent officers To
say that the services they have so far
rendered are not of that exalted and cx-
ceptional character that has hitherto
been regarded as prerequisite to the adj
vancement now proposed.
Noting that the grade Of lieutenant
general has not been regarded as a per-
manent office necessary to our army or
~ganization. and has been conferred only
upon a few of those officers who have
rendered marked services i'm war: that
the complimentary rank, when bestowed,
has often been withheld until long after
the demonstration of this superior ability,
and has only been voted as n reward of
great military genius and most conspic-
uous leadership. the conclusion Is reached
that whatever the merits and promise of
any officers OF our peace establishment
who as yet have had no opportunity to
demonstrate their genius and capacity as
commanders of large armies by the meas
ure heretofore required, the existing con-
ditions do not demand its revival at this
time.
The right view was expressed by
Colonel Lamont; and the conditions
are not changed i'm "A way that make
wise a curse of action hat would not
have been wise a couple of years ago.

Webster regarded this as the culmina-

his strongest pitch OF expression when
IL was proposed to appropriate 49, 00. 900

result from this amount of money

have come to regard the dangers in the
operation of the constitution i'm a
different light from what not alone
Mr.. Webster but the people did at the
earlier period. Little apprehension is
expressed now of the encroachments of
the executive upon the legislative
branch of the government. The fore
bodings of Mr.. Webster upon this point
ave not been realized by events that
have later transpired. our impression
is that of recent years the more con-
sentative and thoughtful Of the people
trust the executive rather than the
legislative body"

q ERIOUSLY. warship manufacture
~ on a large scale would be a
profitable industry II anybody
with a billion or two loose capital
should feel disposed to go into 1t.
Styles and fashions change in men-of-

ton needs anything in hat line of
goods its needs are pressing. and a
manufacturer could work off his old
as easily as his very latest patterns:
so that the danger of ever being forced
to sell at less Than cost would be re-
mote. Congress has just decided to
construct three more battleships of the
first class. Within a fortnight h ear
of Russia has ordered an expenditure
for warships to an amount which. In
our money. would represent 500, 800, 900.
About the same time the emperor OF
Germany demanded the appropriation
of SAG, 900. 900 for warships. The French
naval Office has just begun work on
plans for warships which will call for

What Webster Said.

~HE action of congress in voting
fifty millions To be spent for
the common defense in such
ann as suits the president was so
unusual that several citizens who have
leisure for that sort OF investigation set
themselves at work to find out whether
there are precedents for or against II.
Ex-Congressman Wilson did this, and
he made an interesting discovery which
shows that the man who ranks as the
greatest constitutional lawyer this
country ever produced was vehemently
opposed TO the process which all of us
have been so warmly praising.
Daniel Webster denied the constitu-
tionality Of such action. He declared
that the president has no right to ask
forappropriations I'm any other way tina
by an official recommendation to con-
gress. and that congress has no right
10 make appropriations except for
specific purposes. This was the under
standing of the constitution in the
most authoritative quarters at that
time. and it was urged by Mr.. Webster
with a vehemence of expression which
seems extreme TO the extent Of ex-
travagance in our day. Speaking of
the power proposed TO be conferred
upon the president. he said: IF the
proposition were now before US. and
the guns of the enemy Were battering
against the walls of the capitol. I
woul not agree to it," His position
was against taking power from con-
gress to confer 1t upon the president.
and ne saw in this more danger to the
American people than could be inflicted
by the soldiers of a foreign nation in
actual warfare against us.
Mr.. Webster said this during the
presidency Of ndrew jackson and at a
lime when jackson was startling the
American people and bringing alarm to
NE public men of the whig faith. in
which Mr.. Webster was a leader. by

kearsarge and Kentucky to BE Launched
1o-Morrow.
Washington, March 22.-With the
cabinet officers at the white house and
with Mr.. Roosevelt at the capitol before
the senate naval committee there was a
lull in the usual activity about the navy
department to-day. Secretary Long
had a busy hour, however, before he
left for the cabinet meeting. Judge Day
came over from the state department
and held an extended talk with the
naval secretary. President circuit of
h Newport News Shipbuilding COM
pany also talked with Mr.. Long on the
plans of the launching Of the new bat
tleships kearsarge and Kentucky at
Newport News next Thursday. Mr..
Long is not likely to attend the launch
ing, as Thursday is the day on which
the report of the court of inquiry may
be received. For the same reason, many
of the naval chief who had hoped to
see these fine ships glide into the water
will be unable to attend the launching.
A distinguished party is to leave here
tomorrow night, however, including
member of the senate and house naval
committees and such naval officers as
are not pressed by the present condi-
tions. Mr.. circuit stated that the Kear-
sarge would leave the wharf at 10 a. m
