Glancing at Joseph Smit' 8 portrait,
We ventured the criticism hnt it did
not show any great amount of strength,
intelligence or culture. Mr.. Young ad-
mitted the criticism and said that Smith
was not man OF great character nat
urall but that he was inspired by God
as a f. ophet and spoke at times not from
himself, but by inspiration. He was not
a man Of education. but received such
enlightenment from, the Holy Spirit
that he needed nothing more to fit him
for the work as leader ''And this is

act the War Department.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-It Is broadly
intimated here that Gen. Eagan, in his
attack on Gen. Miles, had the tacit
backing OF Secretary of War Alger. II
he did not, why was he not at once
placed under arrest?
The public clamor that some official
cognizance be taken of the brecah of
discipline, military law and the pro-
pristies continues. The case promises
to become as famous as the armv
scandals OF France. But little else {.
discussed.
Yet Alger remains passive. When
asked whether or not he would take
action, he seemed annoyed, and the di-
rectness of the question offended him
and provoked snarling answer. Gen.
Miles has INDUCED in no vituperation.
but he has made 'the CALLED Jade

picturesque, but he has overlooked the
necessity of presenting facts
