participants in grand volcanic drama.
In some of the wells the temperature

In single night. 1t Il few the phe-

appearance. In a majority of the
cases. however. the wells fairly steam
from their newly acquired heat. The

Take this paper to show your folks
 what I think of you The paper or I commission, gives the officer a higher
 grade, and it has often happened that
 all officer has received several brevets.
 Thus major may be brevetted lieuten-
 ant-colonel, and then may have that honorary title supplemented with q
 brevet colonelcy. In the early days of
 the army the uniform of the brevet rank could be worn by the officer, and
 he was also addressed in official com municatians by his brevet rank. It was nothing unusual in those days to see a letter addressed to Lieutenant John Smith, Fifth infantry, Brevet rigadier-GeneraL' That has been done away with. and the brevet is now nothing more than title the posses sion of which shows that it's holders name has appeared on one of Uncle Sam's rolls of honor"
 The fact that a man fell while in the discharge of his duty does not de- bar him from being remembered for brevet, and the recent brevet appoint ment lists contain many names after which are the bracketed words, Killed in action" Died of wounds received in battle" Died in the discharge of duty" etc
 The brevet rank is conferred on rare occasions in England, but not lower than captain nor higher than lieuten- ant-colonel. There it carries with it a corresponding advance in command. but in other European countries merit oriOus services in the field are re- warded by the gift of medals and dec- oratiOns. Nearly all of these decora- tions carry with them membership in some order, and many bring pensions or certain rights and privileges.
 There's the difference between our honor men," said a regular army cff1- cer, ''and those in European armies The German, French or Russian honor nuan wears his decoration where it can be seen, while the American officer has only his brevet commission, which he keeps stored away, and there is noth- ing about his uniform to indicate that he has figured on the roll of honor The only return that the brevetted officer receives comes from the social world, | where courtesy has decreed that he shall be addressed by his brevet title ;

THE REPORT TO COME

Some time ago the President ra- quested a number of citizens, not all of them of his own politics, to inquire as to alleged official shortcomings and misdoings in the late war, and to re- port to him their findings of fact and conclusions. At once certain amiable journals told their readers that it was case of jury-packing for verdict of acquittal. Now they are sniffing and sneering at the report as fnere 'whitewash."
 They will not venture to treat the report of the military court of inquiry in this way. They are precluded from doing so by their own utterances- They said that such a court would be satisfactory. The President has taken them at their word. The military court has been constituted. Its powers are as ample as those of the investigating committee of citizens were inadequate. It can enforce the attendance of re- luGtant witnesses and question them under oath. It can compel the pro duction of papers. There is every as surance that the duty imposed upon it by the President Alger is merely his clerk in the matter-will be per formed thoroughly. The character of the members of this court is so high that even the New York Evening Post admits that they are entitled to the unqualified confidence of the coun- try. It says their findings must ba ac- cepted as impartial intelligent and conclusive.
 The military court of inquiry will not make haste. It will take all the time needed for it's work It's mem- bers feel-as only army men could feel the importance of the duty entrusted to them by the President. Over and above their responsibility to him and to the country, they have a rrofes- sional responsibility to the army itself For the time being it's honor and in terests are, very largely, in their GUS tody.

The Atlanta (Ga) Constitution dis cusses government ownership of rail- roads. and after giving examples of such ownership, says: "The lesson of all this is that it is perfectly feasible for the state and for municipalities to own large properties which have pass ed beyond the arena of private enter prise and which take on the charac. .er of public utility. The ownership, how ever, must be made free from political dictation." Strangely enough the Con stitution neglects to say how govern ment ownership could be made free from political dictation
