No one has felt any great thrill
Of disaster, since the going of the
Bradley Martins to England. These
people have about as thoroughly
disgusted the American people as
any branch of snobocracy. They
have kicked the dust of New York
from their feet with a determination
to never return. This resolution
will doubtless be applauded by a
majority Of the people. Mrs. Brad>
ley-Martin, born the dsughter Of a
poor cooper in an interior New
York town, she has servily begged,
bought and forced herself into
what stands for swelldom in Goth
am. She now seeks other worlds
to conquer and good riddance to
she aud hers, the same as we have

tempting offer. 1t was then known
that some good reason existed for Gen.
Wood not taking the place, and il Is
now believed that he was given to un-
derstand that by remaining in the army
he would be pushed rapidly to the
front.
Gen, Shafter goes on the retired list
in October next and Gen. Brooke is
slated TO succeed him as commander
of the department of the Pacific. Gen.
Wood, ii is thoroughly believed, will
then be made brigadier general in the
regular army and appointed governor
general of Cuba.
In two years after this promotion
he will be eligible for appointment
as major general and many officers
are confident that should President
Mckinley be reelected to the presi-
dency, Wood will be advanced 10 this
grade. His selection then as command
er of the army would also remain with
the president. and if he makes a good
record as governor general of Cuba,
II would not be unreasonable TO expect
him to be placed 1T the head OF the
army.
Gen. Wood is a comparatively young
man and If he were to be made com
mander of the army it would put an
