A rumor current in Washington is TO the
effect that Admiral Sampson will be sent
to Manila to succeed Dewey, and that the
latter Will be ordered home for rest and
recuperation. Some time ago Dewey was
given leave 10 come home whenever he
pleased. but he replied that he could be Of
more service at Manila than elsewhere, and
he proposed to remain there for an indeh-
mite time. 1t is generally said that Eu-
ropean or an American can stand but two
summers I'm the Philippines, and the ap-
preaching summer will be Dewey's secqId
there. His health has not been Of the best
during the past six or seven months, hence
there Is some anxiety felt for him at
Washington. It Is not improbable, there
fore, that change will be made in the
naval commanders at Manila before
great while. and that Dewey will be or
dered home.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Birmingham News Oem.) says:
1.-THE negro continues to demonstrate his
unfituess for volunteer soldier. The
conduct of the so-called Tenth Immune
Regiment which was mustered out at
Macon, is cited in further proof of this
fact The Mayor of Griffin, Ga, did right
in preparing to deal with the riotous SOL
diers. Cool determination, backed by cold
lead, is the only remedy for such lawless-
ness"
The Norfolk Landmark Oem) says: Elm
setting the prices to be paid for armor
at prohibitively low figure, the Senate
rendered rather ineffective its passage of
the bill to construct three fine battleships.
The circumstance brings to mind that sub
lime stanza:
Mother may go out TO SWIM?
oh, yes. my little daughter!
Hang your clothes on a hickory limb
And don't go near the water
Mr.. Tillman will probably appreciate the
point He made an exactly similar one
the other day against fellow senator"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer Dem.) says:
1.-THE new head of the census bureau hav-
ing received the appointment in reward
for political services, similar political serv-
Ices being valuable next year. and the
capability Of the census bureau for such
services being great, IL would not be sur
prising II Director Merriam should yield
to the pressure sure to be put upon him
and so shape the examination of candi-
dates for census positions so as to admit
useful political workers as well as statisti-
clans
The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem.), in
common with a great many other news
papers and persons, cannot grasp the fine
distinction by which congressman are per-
mitted TO hold civil commissions, but may
not hold temporary military commissions
The Advertiser says: MANY of Gen.
WheeIer's best and warmest friends
thought he ought to resign his seat in
Congress when he was made an officer in
the army and think so yet, as to that
matter, but II senators and representatives
can accept positions on commissions, and
get paid for both. why may they not ac-
cept a place in the volunteer army, es-
pecially when, as in Gen. Wheeler's case,
they draw but one salary? If not, why
not?"

Deadhead in n Fleeing show.

Fate, with wonted levity, had thrown
the sour and taciturn man into the COM
pany of the talkauve citizen, says the
Washington Star man, in the railway car.
"Tha, was quite an exciting game of
foot ball, wasn't it?' said the latter. as
he showed a newspaper into the inside
pocket of his fur trimmed overcoat.
Il never read about foot ball." was the
solemn reply. 'Such things are mere van
ity. How true 1t Is" he added, almost
tearfully, that this world Is but a fleet
ing shown
"of course. That's one way of looking
al it. I've felt that way about it myself
We all feel that way sometimes. But let
me ask you something Are you putting
in your money and hustling around to
make this world any better?"
whats the use?'
"Well, you'll excuse me for questioning
you. But you referred to the world as a
fieeting show. I'm a theatrical manager,
and I'm interested In anything in the show
line. Now, l notice that you amt in any
hurry to get out of this world, are your
mo; l can't truly say that I am. The
instinct of self-preservat ton"
That's all right You didn't pay any
thing to get into this deeting show, did
you?"
Certainly not"

story right in a nutshell. l never in nv

The Kansas City Journal says: AT
Fort Scott, the other day, the Presbyte-

each side. One by one the contestants
were spelled down. until only two Presby-
terians and one Methodist remained. Then
the master gave out the word 'ptisan

for neither side. Ptisan Is defined in the
dictionary as a mucilaginous decoction

THE NATIONAL DEBT.

Whenever reference is made to the cost
of the war with Spain the administration
papers call attention to the fact that this
is a very rich country-far richer than
any other-and that 1t is many times bet
ter able to carry a big debt now than it
was directly after the war of secession.
They point out that on Sept /, 1855 the
amount of our national debt was $751;
649, 626, and that there was only SIS 21S,-
O55 in the treasury. At the end OF the
civil war therefore the actual debt of the
country was $2,756. 4S1 81. For every man.
woman and child in the United States the
debt was $7S.25.
AT the end of the war with Spain. or at
least when the war was practically over.
the entire debt of the country,
less the cash in the treasury, was
$96S. 6560S6, or about S1355 per capita.
Every body knows of course, that about
one and three-quarter billion dollars Of
the debt contracted in the civil war has
been paid off, but the debt burden has not
been removed to the extent which the fig
ures given would indicate. The cost of
carrying on the government has increased
immensely-very much more than 1t ought
TO have done-and, on this account, the
taxes which the people have to pay are
pretty heavy. although the national debt is
comparatively small. For Instance, the
pension charge alone amounts to almost
COO a year. This sum is equal to
the interest, at three per cent, the rate
at which the government can now borrow
money, on 5000, 100000. At the close of
the civil war there was a very small PEN
sion charge in comparison with that
charge at present. Therefore our pension
charge practically represents debt of
5000, 10000. Looking at our financial con-
dition in that way, we have an immense
national debt-a debt, the total of which
is twice as large as the debt we had at
the close of the civil war, and even
larger per capita than that debt was, Tt
is true that we are much ADLER to meet
our financial obligations now than we were
then Still, tine people feel very seriously
the debt burden they have to carry.

THE GREAT MEN OF WALL STREET

There is one place in this country where
the President isfnot regarded as the great
man of the nation. 1t is Wall street. In
that great money center the President
would not attract any great amount Of
attention. Speaker Reed visits the street
once in a while and very few who know
him by sight turn to give him a second
glance. There are ex-members of the cab
met there and Governors and ex-Govern-
ors and senator's and ex-senators are
among the hurrying throng, but their pres
ence is unnouced by the busy men who
do business there.
But let j. Pierpont Morgan or Roswell
p. Flower show himself there and the fact
Is known almost instantly in every bank
ing house and every brokers' office. What
these men say on financial matters is given

deserves. They are the great men OF the

KILLS THE WOMAN SHE LOVES
She Entices Her to Sleep with Her and n
Double Crime Results.

Stockton, Cal, May 3.-A peculiar
tragedy. came to light here yesterday
when the bodies of Mrs. William Hick-
man and Mrs H. a. Hassall, clasped in
loving embrace but both dead, were
found in a room of a lodging house,
bullet having ended the life of each.
Mrs. Hassall had been morbidly infat-
uated with Mrs. Hickman for some
1honths. Monday night Mrs. Hassall
told Mrs. Hickman that she was going
to start for London yesterday and
begged Mrs. Hickman to spend the night
with her. Mrs. Hickman consented and
Ier relatives, growing alarmed at her
Eon-appearance yesterday. visited the
lodging house and discovered the bodies.
Mrs. HassaIl had killed Mrs. Hickman
and then herself. Mrs. Hassall came
from London, England, and called her
self the Duchess, claiming that her hus-
land is a duke. She became so madly
infatuated with Mrs. Hickman that her
husband left her. but the couple was
about to be reconciIed. The case is
similar to one which occurred at Mem
DhiS a few years ago.

STRIKE LEADER USES A GUN.

Buffalo. y. Y, May 3.-The trouble
between the CONTRACTORS and the grain
shoveiers becomes Anore complicated
each hour. Yesterday afternoon
shooting affray occurred in which one
man was possibly fatally shot and an
other slightly wounded. Another large
fleet OF grain carriers reached port last
night and the congestion in the barber is
becoming most pronounced. The threats
that every union nah on the docks Will
be called out shortly are reiterated by
the strikers. Shortly after p. m. yes
terday William X. Kennedy, a nephew
OF one of the grain contractors, was
shot through the right lung while walk
ing at the head of gang of scoopers
which was on it's way to unload boat.
There were about fifty men behind Ken
nedy. At the foot OF Main street they
were met by large crowd of strikers
and trouble began at once.
Buck" Skinner, who was apparently
the leading spirit among the strikers. al
though he is not a scooper. drew re-
voIver and began firing indiscriminate-
ly. His second shot struck Kennedy,
who fell to the ground. Another shot
struck James J. Hennessey. a fireman,
who was standing in doorway Hen
nessey's wound is slight While the fir
ing was going on an Immense crowd
collected and serious trouble was immi-
nent. but a large force of police hurried
to the scene and forced the crowd to
disperse. Half a dozen men assaulted
Contractor James J. Kennedy. but were
driven away by the police before he
was seriously hurt
There is no improvement in the un-
loading of boats. II is said that the
contractors have but 200 or go men
working for them at present, while they
really need LOCO or 500 to keep matters
moving lively Many arrests have been
made by the police in connection with
the shooting of Kennedy. and stories
that more than one striker fired a re-
yolver are being INV estigated- A dis
