Quarrels between the Secretary
of War and the Commander of
army are by no means new. When
Jeff Davis was Secretary of War
and Winfield Scott was head of
the army some letters passed be-

Scott moved the headquarters of
the army to Governors Island.

USELESS ENGLISH WORRY.

The London Saturday Review. with an eye on the anti-expansionists over here, says:
 '<Unpatrictic politicians in the. United States are doing their utmost to create a panic in the hope that the Philippines may be abandoned and the party in power discredited. It is an ignob1e game, and we sincerely trust it will he unsuccessful If the Ameri- cans retire from their self appointed task, the great republic must take the brand of coward as we'll as the brand of Cain with which Lowell declared it to be marked
 The Review need not worry. The brand of '.coward" will not be written across the American brow And that brand Of Gain" was visible only to Mr. LoWells poetical eye. He did not approve of tha Mexican war. But he was a young man and an inexperi ence1 man then-the rhyming Prof. Norton Of that day. He conquered his bilfouzness in time, and became a man of sane and practical and robust views about the duties of men and of nations. He was proud to hold the commission of his country, and served the govern ment with success in mere than one important post. The brand of Cain had faded from his later view-or else he grew to be proud Of his country, brand and all
 These American politicians who are nagging the president about his policy in the Philippines are talking with all the fuency and fervor that go with d knowledge that it is nothing but talk. They well understand that the presi- d5nt will not heed them. They know that the flag is not coming down at Manila MT. Bryan himself, if he were in the White House, would not order it down. No man with the re- accessibility of the presidency resting on his shoulders. no matter what his individCel misgivings might be, would dare to trifle thus with the pride of a great people.
 It is politics, and low politics at that. These men are simply taking chances on disaster. They are keep ing up their racket Of objection SC that if plague CT some other agency should increase the American difficulty in the Philippines and temporarily dispirit the people they may hope to ride into power on Q passing wave of reaction But no policy of nation1l shame can be executed in this country. No party whose expectations are based on the hope of national distress deserves to succeed. The American people have put their hands to the blow, and they will not turn back.-Washingto Star.

A NEW YORK sQUAB.

A young, well dressed couple oecu- pied seats near me fe@ evenings ago in an uptown cafe, and as they leoksd good for big tip the walters fairly flew over one another in efforts to make the service satisfactory. They ordered a nice, fat, young sGuao and a large bottle of chambertin- The meal seemed to be progressing pleas ant.y, when the young gentleman was heard to say to the waiter: Do you call this carrier pigeon squab, ard he held up ring which he had deftly removed from one of the squab's legs It bore the inscription, e. L. L.. 974" The manager, whose attention was attracted by the laugh that went around, made good'' by ordering sev- eraI bottles at his own expense, but it is safe to say that young man will or der no more squabs at that cafe.- Pittsburg Dispatch.

BASE BALL LOOKING UP.

The season for the national game of base ball. now fairly inaugurated in the great cities by the National league and being enlivened weekly by the opening of activities by the smaller associations all over the country, hIS begun very auspiciCusly if we may judge by the attendance reported from the big centers of population. The popularity of the sport has apparently not dininished, and the G1y will prop ably never arrive when the people fail to take an interest in the clean, snappy and characterisitica.ly American game It is pleasant tc record the promise of new Eigor for the sport from the ar rival of good times and ready money which will permit 1argts EGmbers to enjoy it who have been compelled for some time past to fCrego the pleasure and thus to infiot serious financial troubles upon the supporters of the game which well nigh put an end to many of the minor leagues. We need not repeat the familiar arguments about the advantages of this outdoor amusement which brings relaxation and enjoyment to tens of thousands of Americans annually, including the old est and wisest sages to the yOungeSC urohins and all who may be classed between them. Those who nave no. yet become ball cranks must receive their initiation in the regular way.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.)
 The way of the transgressor is fast.
 When one girl speaks of another as "so sensible" you will notice her nose always turns up.
 Lots of mems phrases sound as if they kept them in labeled pigeon-h and had pulled out the wrong C1es.
 Some of the most awful things you read about in books seem quite natural when they happen right in your own family
 After you carefully observe the hab- it's of the average married man you can't help feeling less disrespect for the women of the streets.

SPEAKER REED TO RETIRE.

Speaker Thomas B. Reed of the
 house of representatives has accepted an offer of $50, 900 year to become a member of New York law firm The experience of Mir. Reed is that of many
 a public man. That is of nsn who, like him, have remained in public life at the expense of their private inter- osts, being too honest 'Jo use their po- sitions for the promotion of their own fortunes. Speaker Reed is today poor man. He has attained the high est rank, save one, that an American can hold. Perhaps he thinks it best to be content with that. He has ar rived at a time of life when, if ever, he must consider the questions of hcw he is to live when he can no longer hold office, and how he shall provide for the reascnab ble needs of his family? It is this consideration that has with Nmore than one brilliant publicist prOYed superior to ths, allurements of of11cfaI life It should be entirely creditabie to NJ. Resd that, after years of service as a member of congress lie should be forced to abandon what might be a life tenure in that body for the purpose of securing a comfortable provision for himself and his family in his declining years. His removal from congress would be that of a colossal figure But it would not necessarily mean the closing of his public career, In fact it might fer some reasons, ar this jlncture, be fortunate hiatus in that career. Thomas B. Reed has climbed so near the summit of the Ioftiest ambition that an American citizen can cherish that he will so long as he lives remain within the line of preferment for the presidency. And his is such a com4nanding personality that it will hardly be possible for him to become other than a man of potent influence no matter what station in private life he might occupy in the event Of his reHiremen. from congress. Born leaders of men cannot do other wise than exercise their birthright. In fact it dominates them, and they can not order otherwise.

Richard Harding Davis started liter ary work as a reporter on the Phfla- delphia Press. JAS the story goes the instinct to write artistic fiction was cary developed in him. He was sent cut one day by his city editor to .'covef a murder Two men had fought q duel to the death under pc culiar and thrilling circumstances. Davis came back to the Press office and wrote a column story which the city editor determined to play on the first page. It was splendidly written. The rage of the murderer. the fierce resistance of his victim driven to bay, every picturesque feature was brought out forcibly. But the city editor found something lacking. He read the story through a second time.
 Here, Davis,'' he said, where's the name of the murderer and of the man he killed?"
