M,ARTHUR Al BRAVE MAN

General Arthur Macarthur was born In Massachusetts fifty-four years ago, and Is said to be the youngest major general in the line of the army.
 He went to Wisconsin with his parents when a child, and at r years of age was appointed adjutant of the Twenty-fourth Wisconsin volunteers. At 19 he was made major of the regiment for gallant conduct at Stone River, where half the Twenty fourth was lost. In this battle the boy adjutant seized the regimental flag when the color-bearer fell and rallied the Wis consin men for a charge, which resulted in the capture of a battery and turn in the fortunes of the day. MacArthur also received medal of honor for this brave act. At the battle of Franklin, Tenn, Mac Arthur led the regiment in repulsing an attack on the union works.
 He was made a lieutenant colonel and brevetted colonel when mustered out in 1865. MacArthur then joined the regular army as second lieutenant of the Seven teenth infantry, advancing step by step to his present rank.
 At the outbreak of the Spanish war he was a lieutenant colonel in the adjutant generals department He Gas made a general officer and was In command of men at Chickamauga and Tampa.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Flirtations begin on earth and don't end in heaven.
 Artlessness in a grow-up woman Is the result of training and experience.
 Eve fell in the Garden of Eden and then got up; but Adam has been tumbling ever since.
 A woman's hair that was the wonder of everybody always existed in the period be- fore you knew her.
 Most women never get too old to expect to hear that some great mans wife Is mad ly jealous of her.
 When man is sure that he has master ed a woman it Is a sign that at last she has him where she wants him.
 Because two persons get married with out loving each other is no proof that they will be any more happy than the others.
 The first few years of her sons life mother could not be content to have him any thing less than president; afterward she thanks God if he comes home nights.
 When young man tenderly puts away a lock of hair to treasure forever, the hardest thinking he does in middle age is trying to remember whose 1t is and how 1t got there.
 If a man who Is proposing had sense enough to know anything, he would know he was doing it in senseless way, and he would be so ashamed of himself that he wouldn't do 1t.

When 1t sells pipe in Chattanooga to be transported to Georgia, Is it an act fin re- straint of trade or commerce among the several states or with foreign nations?" If 1t is. then the pipe Is forfeitable. and heavy penalties may be added.
 When the Pipe Trust case was heard in Tennessee, the decision was in it's favor but the circuit court of appeals reversed the decision of the circuit court, and a de- cree of perpetual injunction against the trust was ordered. Against this decree an appeal was taken to the United States su- preme court.
 There was an agreement to control sales across state lines, and the department of justice claims that this agreement is a re- straint upon interstate trade, although the Pipe Trust is not engaged in the business hold that the Pipe Trust agreement is not in restraint of trade among the several states, then the industrial trusts will be free to combine and recombine to the end or the process lHere IS ntlle uso ol Spec- ulation over this matter for we shall soon know just what the industrial combna- tions can do and cannot do under the Sher- man act. Attorney-General Griggs now holds that the Sugar Trust case has left the manufacturing corporations free to do whatever suits them best. The Trans Missouri case apples to transportation combinations alone. The Sugar combina- ton did not refer to sales. The Pipe Trust case is broader and deeper than the Sugar case. It covers the making and selling of goods. It promises to be a very important trust decision.

ARMOR ON
 BATTLE SHIPS

Washington. March 2s.-Captain o'Nefh chief of the naval ordnance bureau esti< mates that for each of the battleshps Ilih nois, Wisconsin and Alabama about 2.50o tons of armor will be required. It is not proposed by the bureau to reduce thS weight of armor for these ships. as conn pared to former battleships, but to make { wider distribution of It. The weight of the armor alone will be 2S per cent. of the to- tai displacement, and 1t is claimed by the ordnance officers that fully as effective pro lection will be afforded these ships as any of their class heretofore built for the Amer- ican navy. The thickness of the casemate armor will be increased to seven inches, or an inch and a half thicker than that on the Kearsarge type.
 While an s-inch Krupp plate is consid- cred to afford protection equal to that of a 10-inch Harvey plate, 1t is asserted by the ordnance experts that 1t would not be at all practieabls to reduce in the same proportion the thickness of the lighter plates, which on ships of the Alabama class is only five and a half inches. Captain O'Neil contends that it would be better to utilize the weight saved by the use or Krupp armor instead of the Harvey in thckenng the lighter casemate plates, ana thus affording the broadside guns and those that may be the main and berth decks complete protection from the and S-ineh projectiles at all ranges from which engage ments will probably take place.
 For the second time since the establish- ment of the war college at Newport there will be no summer session this year, the plan having been abandoned by reason Of the great pressure of officers for other sery- ice Last summer the college was closed on account of the war; and this year, although peace has been declared. not enough officers can be spared from active duty to form class.
 Where formerly there were thirty-hye vessels in commission there are now eighty five, and the personnel has not in the mean time increased. The navy is actually find- ing difficulty in securing officers for tho ships in commission. The department luiiy appreciates the value of the naval war col- lege's work, and will welcome the time when it will be possible to re-estabiisn the courses and provide more lberaliy Tor It, The project to remove the war college to Annapolis has made no progress. Congress took no action upon the recommendation of the assistant secretary of the navy.
 The navy department has arranged the complement of men for the various types of torpedo boats and destroyers, but the in- formation will not be made public until the complement of officers has been deter- mined upon. It has been decided that the engineer force shall be liberally represent- ed in the enlisted strength on board those boats, as the craft are largely dependent for efficiency upon their engines and boil CTS. Senior lieutenants will probably be selected to command the destroyers ana junior lieutenar $ to command the smaller boats.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
No More Civilian ColoneIs.
Editor

The remarkable war department with which the country is at present afflicted has discovered new scapegoat in civilian colonels. It claims that as a rule they showed in the recent war a want of mili- tary knowledge, need of experience, and an absence of energy and industry towards the practice of their full duties. It inti- mates that they did not take good care of the men in their respective commands. The troubles and ills of camp life are to neglect of regimental colonels.
 This is very fine scheme, But it will scarcely be claimed that the regimental colonels were incompetent to the point of ordering canned roast beef or whiskered beef for their men. Nor will 1t be claimed that the lack of wagons, ambulances and medical supplies at the front was due to civilian negligence. The civilian colonels did not appoint the illustrious Huidekoper, chief surgeon of the Chickamauga camp, any more than they put the equally re- markable Alger at the head of the war de- pertinent.
 The great MT. Alger has determined, it is said, to appoint no civilian to the command of a volunteer regiment if the president should decide to call for volunteers. Only regular army men are to be colonels, leav- ing the subordinate places to be filled by civilians. So Mr. Alger has decided but MT. Alger's authority probably has not many more days to run, although 1t is diffi- - cult to see how MT. Mckinley and MT. will not unload himself while he is under fire"

Two Objections to a Convention.

The Troy Messenger in the course of an article opposing the calling of constitu- tional convention, says: We believe that certain influence will count it in regard less of the vote polled and 1t behooves us as good citizens to select two of our best, true and tried men as delegates to the con vention." We beg to ask the Messenger if there is any known way of putting an end to such counting and other ballot manipu- lations outside of change of the suffrage qualifications? And is not a convention tho best way in which to change the condi- tions of suffrage? The Messenger will surely say that the proposed convention would include one hundred at least of the brainiest and best men in the state-a pick ed lot, far superior to the average legisla- ture, or to any legislature that the state has ever known for that matter. In short, if the Messenger is desrous of putting an end to ballot-box corruption and conse- quent demoralzation, it should support in- stead of antagonizing, a constitutional COHf0HllOH, as lue QulCheSt dllu luOSl lHOi- ough remedy that the ballot-box evil ad- mits of.
 Another obejction comes up from Hayne- vile, Lowndes county. In Hayneville the democrats met and resolved to oppose constitutional convention, because it would disfranchise many voters. The Mobile Her aid answers this objection in this manner: ''As to disfranchsement, these Lowndes county people have been disfranchising ne- groes by stufing ballot boxes a long time. We wish to put stop to ballot box stuff fing by eliminating the ignorant negro vote. There will then be no excuse left for it.
 These two cases pretty much cover the objections to the holding of a constitution al convention. When the list of delegates is completed today in Montgomery, 1t should be printed in every county in the state. It is in itself the best answer to objections. A better lot of men could not well have been selected. If the state can not trust such men to frame for their ap- proval new organic law then it cannot trust any lot The full list of delegates will speak for itself. The list will be made up of names of capable, conservative men l of men who are thoroughly in touch with l the people, and who are therefore repre- | sentative in the best sense They will be 1 representative because they will come | fresh from the people, knowing their wants and desires. They know what evils are to be driven off, and what blessings are to be promoted. Trust them.

WASHINGTON, BOLIVAR, AGUISALpo

From the Dorchester Beacon.
 The anti-imperialists very evidently don't know what they are talking about. Their queer attempts to make a Washing ton or a Bolivar of the little savage up- start and dictator, Agunaldo, are ludicrous in the extreme. More concerned is Agui- naldo as to his cane and breastplate than his position in history, as his intimate friend and adviser, Consul General Wild man of Hong Kong, informs our govern ment. From all the evidence attainable and before the president when his policy was decided upon, it appears that Agui- naldo is young man, not without some good parts Qor a sayage, but suffering from an aggravated attack of what Ad- miral Dewey has called "big head;" that he Is in no sense the chosen representative of the people, but their self-constituted die tator ruling through the force resident in an armed body of men, according to his own sweet Cor otherwise) will.

MISS l,uULD,s REPLY

From the New York Mail and Express
 The letter sent by Fire Commissioner Scannell to Miss Helen Gould, informing her that he had ordered a gold badge to be made for her so that she might enter the fire lines at any fire in the city, in recogni- ton of her services during the Wmosor hotel llre was replied to by Miss Gould to- day. Her letter is as follows:
 '.Hon. John J. Seannell:
 Dear Sir-Your kind letter has reached me, informing me that l am to receive gold badge the official emblem of your de- partment, and I desire to express by cor dial thanks for the courtesy. l had some difficulty in passing the fire lines on the 17th and it will be very nice to know now that I can reach the house, should 1t be in danger at any time. You are kind to men, .tion the little service we were able to ren. der, but the indebtedness is quite on our side, and we are very apprec.etive of the protection given us by your department and the police department. The house would certainly have been lost, had it not been for the bravery of the department.
 HELEN MILLER GOULD"
 The reply of Commissioner Scannell to Miss Goulds letter is as follows:
 Miss Helen M Gould, 579 Fifth Avenue:
 Dear Miss Gould-Your letter has been received in reference to my order for an official badge to be given to you for the services you have rendered to the public and the department, and I am proud to have been able to render you this small token of my respect and esteem and par ticularly from the fact that you are the first woman to whom an official badge or the New York fire department has ever been issued.

dmiral Schiey Out of Favor.

President McKinley's letter to Admiral Sampson is cumulative evidence of the fa- vor in which the administration holds that officer. MT. Mckinley gives him credit for the great battle of Santiago; and yet it is indisputable that he, on that fateful Sun day, went to Sboney, out of sight and out of range of the blockaded channel. Nor did he go on any small vessel, as he readily might have gone, for he went to Siboney to consult with General Shafter; ful cruiser New York, thus withdrawing from the blockade and watch the vessel best adapted to cope with Admiral Ger veras swift cruisers. Such negligence would, if the result had been unfavorable, have submitted him to court-martial and probably dismissal from service.
 He left on the line of watch but one fast, strong cruiser, the Brooklyn; and when Cervera came out of the channel the Brooklyn was pounded unmercifully by him, and Admiral Schley had his hands full He commanded not only the Brook lyn, but all the rest of the fleet. and the glorious victory was his beyond reasonable question.
 And yet what do we see? We see Ad- miral Sampson praised by the navy de- partment and the president at every turn, and we see him, too, in command of the North Atlantic squadron. Admiral Dewey very properly has the Asiatic station, and the Pacific and South Atlantic stations have been handed over to Admirals Kautz and Howison, while Admiral Schley Is left at home without an independent command, although he especially desired to again hoist his flag at sea. It will trouble most people to say what Kautz or Howison have done that gives them preference over Schley If actual accomplishment were alone taken into consideration, Dewey and Schley would stand first and second in the navy today, but actual accomplishment is subordinated in administration circles to politics. and Admiral Schley Is to be dis credited as far as the president can bring 1t about, to the end that the hero of San- tiago shall not be able to confuse the po- litcal situation.
