A RATTLE oF EXPERTS.

1t is evident at this early stage Of the
already celebrated Adams poisoning case
in New York city that the trial of Molin-
eaux, the man accused of sending to Corn
ish the poison which caused the death of
Mrs. Adams is going to be a battle of ex-
perts in handwriting. 1t was mainly on
the testimony of experts in handwriting
that Molineaux was accused and arrested.
Seven of the most prominent experts in
the country, after several days of the most
careful examination of the handwriting of
Molineaux and the writing on the wrapper
of the bottle which contained the poison
stated most positively that Molineaux
wrote the address on the bottle In our
dispatches yesterday it was stated that
David c. Carvalho, one of the best known
experts in handwriting in the country. had
stated to the chief of the New York po-
lice, that he did not believe that Molineaux
wrote the address on the poison package
and it is probable that Molineaux will be
able to find many experts who will sustain
Mr.. Carvalho In the position he has TAX
en-. Therefore It is likely that a jury will
nave some dlfhculty an reaching decision
as to which are The more reliable experts,
those of the prosecution or those of Molin-
eaux. before deciding the question of
Molineaux's guilt.
Unquestionably the states case before
the coroner was ably managed. The public
criticised the prosecution severely for what
1t supposed was its lack of ability But
all the time the public was being misled,
and the man the prosecution expected TO
accuse was so far thrown off his guard as
TO furnish evidence that was necessary to
justify charge against him. In view
OF the sagacious manner in which the case
was conducted before the coroner, the
accused man, Molineaux, may expect a
very vigorous prosecution.

THE ARMY BILL.

The House has accepted the compromise
army bill passed by the Senate and an ex-
ira session Of Congress viii be avoided.
The bin is far from satisfactory TO the
President and his advisers, but was
either the Senate bill or an extra session,
and The President doesn't want Congress
in session after March 4, until its regular
time Of meeting in December.
The army under this bill will be increased
to 10000 men-65.OOO regulars and IS 600
volunteers-but il viii remain at that size
mediately after that date il must be re-
duced to the strength it had prior to April
/, 1s9S--that is Immediately prior TO the
breaking out of the war with Spain. Sena-
tor Cockrell the leader of the Democratic
minority of the committee on military af-
fairs, was willing that the strength Of the
regular army after July l. 1901 should be
5000 men. but Senator German insisted
that the army we had before the beginning
OF the war with Spain would be plenty
large enough for our needs, and there are
good reasons for thinking that he was
right. The country doesn't want a large
army in time of peace. There are strong
reasons why it doesn't One is that large
army leads TO militarism and aggression.
Another is the encouragement which
large army gives the general government
to extend its Jurisdiction to do what the
states ought TO do. Stin another reason,
and very strong reason is the burden
which a large army imposes upon the
people.
1t may be that the next Congress, or the
Congress after that, will undertake to thor
oughiy reorganize the army, but unless
some unexpected necessity arises for
large army the people will be satisfied with
an army of the size of that which we had
before our trouble with Spain. Before two
years shall have passed our need for
large body of troops in Cuba and the Phil
ippines will have ceased-at least there is
reason for thinking it willard, as far as
we can now see, we shall be In no danger
Of being attacked. For defending our in
terests abroad and protecting our coast
we shan depend almost wholly upon our
navy, and there is apparently every dis
position to make that arm of our defense
second to no other navy In the world.
The provision of the law requiring the
army 20 be reduced two years from next
July is a notice to those who have Imper-
ialistic ideas or who are hoping to drag
the country into the business of governing
colonies, that the country is not in SYM
pathy with them-that the people prefer
to adhere to the principles on which the
republic is founded.

TYPHOID FEVER AMONG ORR
TROOPS

Our dispatches from Cuba show that
typhoid fever prevails among our troops
in Cuba to an alarming extent. No doubt
they carried the fever to Cuba with them
from the home camps. AS far as we are
informed there is no reason why the fever
should not prevail in the camps in Cuba.
No especial precautions against il have
been taken there. When the camps were
first established outside of Havana it was
proposed that there should be a regular
system of drainage in each of them 1t
was found, however, that such a system
would cost considerable money, and there
fore, the sink system was adhered to-
Naturally, in the course of a very short
time. the typhoid fever broke out in the
camps. And it will continue to prevail in
all probability. until the camps have bet
ter drainage.
Would it not have been cheaper
to have carried out the prop
osition to have a regular system of drain
age for the camps? We have no doubt
it would. and, besides, a number of lives
would have been saved. The typhoid fever
in the home camps was largely due to the
proximity of the sinks. OF course a sys-
tenn of drainage in camps is not always
practicable, but it is understood that il is
easy to obtain good drainage in the camps
near Havana.

BugIe Prayer.

(For Rudyard Kipllng, Feb. Is, 1891
st. James Cummings in Charleston News
Void of its music, on the wall
The bugle from it's ribbon swings,
And to the bugler's bed they call
The couriers potent as the Kings.
Love hears the fluttering of wings:
What once was music is a cry.
Man has but breath 'twixt him and DEATH
And shall the lord of magic die?
Come, bugie. conie-his pledge thou art;
In thy dim dreams yet runs his skill.
Thou knowest the passion of his heart,
Wait not, but wake; thy masters Ill!
Shall man his brothers part fulfill?
Ay, If Love WILL the deed turns true
My lips to thine, for grace divine
Exalts the voice that falters through
Almighty God, out Of the dark,
Out of the cold, hear thou the prayer.
We know Thee mindful, Lord to mark
The song birds flight through blasting
air;
And song and bird to Thee are fair.
Singing we pray to Thee for one
Who lieth low, while falls the snow
Lord, spare him till his song is done.
He knows Thee mightier than the snow,
And whittier for Thy majesty.
Ger earth's great realms borne to and fro
He puts on Kings a seal of Thee
Where plague and famine strove went
he;
He felt Thee standing by the pail.
He saw the grace on Horrors's face,
Thou vast in gloom the Lord of all.
What II the lustful breath OF hell
Sweep up and spread his notes elate,
And Satan hold him in a spell:
Thou seest well: / am the state"
If human power seem heavily fate
God shrive him from the fiend's an
plause.
Earth's kingdom come. Thy kingdom come
He sang in both a common cause.
And does the bugle vainly wake?
And yet what more is mortal man?
thing of music Thou dost make,
And lend Thy spirit for a span.
o God, what if Thy pleasure ran.
To try my lord, as he would me,
And angels near the music hear,
What seems his wild. dumb agony?
II so, the bugle's prayer grows faint,
Thy glory holds our grief in thall,
In rapture lost our poor complaint.
Back bugle. now upon the wall.
The bugle's master cannot fall;
Thou hast him with the stars at play.
God help us still, though tbs Thy wiD

Retort to sneaker Reed.

Among the many men in Washington
who are incurably possessed of the sec
ond-hand book habit is the speaker of
the House of Representatives, says the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Sun. His tall and columnar figure
is well known to all the dealers in town,
end they have for years done their best
to make a good customer of him; but
somehow, they have had little success.
The big man goes around TO the various
book shops regularly and looks over the
shelves, and usually asks for some volume
that he apparently wants very much In
failingly, however, il is a book that most
of the dealers have never heard of, or
at any rate, 90 not happen to have. AL

something for him to want it. And, too,
I'll venture to say tlat his house is not
numbered up with a lot of literary junk
that will go to the waste paper man when
he is through with it."
There is one old dealer whose stand is
near the capitol, and Mr.. Reed passes it
daily on his walks to and from the House.
He has had many a call from the big
speaker and, like all the rest has had
poor success in selling to him. The dealer
is noted for having a sharp tongue, and
he Is no respecter of persons. The other
day the speaker dropped in there ana be,
gan to browse in the old mans junk. Aft
er a while he picked up the novel "Scru-
pies" and looked through its pages. Evil

it, for after he had laid it down and look
ed at several other books, he returned to it
and again began to look through it.
What is this book worth?" he finally
asked of the old man.
That Is just one-half of a dollar. sir, {"
said the old fellow very politely.
That's too much" replied the man from
Maine, with his characteristic drawl.
We'll, sir, do you know of any law
that compels you to buy it If you don't
want it?' retorted the old dealer.
Mr. Reed laughed and turned to go. AS
he stepped out of the door the old man
picked up the novel and looked sharply
at the title on the back.
Furthermore, sir" he added, "now that
look at the title, 1 can't see what on
earth you want of book with that title

The remark fell harmlessly on the ex-
pansive back of the speaker, but the old
book store man shrugged. his shoulders

REPORTS FROM THE ORANGE
GROVES

Our reports from Florida, published soon
after the recent cold weather, showing
that the orange growers of that state
had suffered severely, are sustained by
the latest reports. In the northern part
of the orange belt the orange trees are
pretty nearly all killed. and in other parts
of the belt they are badly hurt In many
OF the groves. OF course, the owners
of the groves are greatly discouraged, but
the impression is that none of the groves
viii be abandoned There is a prevailing
impression, az least we infer there is from
our correspondence, that the state will
now have long rest from cold waves.
and that If the groves are properly treat
ed they will be very valuable in a few
years.
A peculiar feature of the freeze was its
effect on the yellow pine trees. In many
parts of Florida they are reported to be
dying. Naval stores operators say that
such is the case. Their statement is con-
firmed by tapping the trees. 1t is regard
ed as being very remarkable that pines
we're killed. 1t is said by Floridians that
there is no record of any previous freeze
having killed pine trees in that state. That
trees of that kind were killed in the lass
freeze shows how very intense the cold
was
1t is gratifying that the people of Flor
ida are not disheartened-that they have
determined to make the best of the situa-
tion and TO set about caring for their
groves at once. They know what should
be done, having learned after the freeze
of 1895 the best methods of treating dam
aged trees and even those killed to the
ground. We have no sympathy with those
who speak of the state as being irrepara-
bly, injured. We believe Horace Greeley
was true prophet when he said that
Florida would eventually be one of the
most prosperous states in the union.

CongressInar Gets a scare.

passes that he does not receive letter

to keep track of all that goes on out there.
Sometimes his wife doesn't express her
self quite as clearly as one might wish
Very recently, for example, the congress-
man received brief note from her.

The congressman bounded from his chair
when he read that. for his two horses
are, next TO his wife and children of
course, the pride of his heart. He did
not wait to draw a breath. He simply
galoped to the telegraph Office and dash
ed off a message:
Have you given sheriff particulars? If
not, do so Immediately"
An answer was returned in a very short
time. 1t was signed by his wife.
Particulars about what?" it read.
The congressman gritted his teeth. Per-
haps the message was sarcastically meant
in token of his wife's displeasure at his
fancying she wouldn't know what to do
to recover lost property unless he told
her. Perhaps it was just an example of
the incurable and besotted idiocy of all
womankind. The congressman perspired
freely, but horses are horses, so he calmed
himself and sent anotherg telegram.

who took them? Wire reply"

reply:
