A PLEA FOR ROOT.

Our organic old friend of Fourteenth
street in characteristic hypocritical
diatribe against the avalanche of crit
icism of the appointment of Trust At
defends that opera bouffe appointment
as entirely proper because there have
been precedents for it! By 'prece-
dents our neighbor means that other
,amepe who have been lawyers, have held
this Office, and our neighbor regards
this as a sufficient answer to the critics
of Roots selection, although the New
York corporation and trust lawyer is
as Ignorant of military matters as the
average woman.
The administration, itself, has admit
ted-at least it was SO published in the
Washington dispatches and has not
been denied-that Root was appointed
not on account of his ability to man
age the weighty affairs of the war de-
partment, but for his knowledge of the
law as applied to the situation in the
Philippines-for be it known the ad-
ministration is fully aware that it is
| overriding the Constitution in its
war of conquest and desires
long-headed constitutional law
yer to steer it's course in regard to
the Philippines. And every one knows
Root is the man to evade the Constitu-
tiop if there is a loophole Methods of
evzjng the law have been his chief
STUDY as lawyer and his knowledge in
this respect has brought him his for
tune.
1t made him the late Boss Tweeds
right hand man in the law, and caused
the notorious Jake Sharp, franchise
thief, to select Root to defend him,
while his ability to find means to es-
cape the meshes of the law caused him
to be the counsel in important cases of
the Standard Oil Trust and the Sugar
Trust, the two greatest lawbreakers in
the country.
OF course, Roots appointment was a
backhanded slap at GLORY crowned"
Griggs, who is the administration os-
tensible official legal adviser, who, also,
was appointed because of his close re-
lations with the trusts, hailing as he
does from New Jersey, the birthplace
of the trusts. which Illegal combina-
tons he has, since becoming Attorney
General, publicly defended

perience, whatever, of the great and

Colonel Henry Watterson these days
breaks out into double leaded,' dou-
ble-column editorials on the political
situation on the slightest provocation.
His latest effort, embellished and en-
phasized by these means, is very
strong and sensible plea to the Demo-
Gratis who would bolt the regular NOM
inee of the Kentucky Democracy, Mr..
Goebel. Colonel Watterson tells the
boilers some plain truths. If the bolt
ers wished to be real mean to Henry,
however, they might retort that they
are only following in State politics
the course pursued by Henry himself
in national politics in 1895.

A Hungarian, known as Mike Provi-
| full accident yesterday afternoon. He
| is employed as laborer at the low er
| steel works. While working in the
mill yard he did not notice the APP
preach of a train of loaded gondolas
which were being run in on a section
of track on which he was working. A
brakeman noticed his perilous posi-
ton and shouted at him, but the warn
ing came too late to allow Providence
go get clear of the track. AS he
jumped aside the corner of the first
car struck him in the back of the head,
rendering him unconscious and cutting
a deep cash in his scalp. He was re-
moved to the Emergency hospital,
where Dr. Eskey attended him. 1t
required several stitches to close the
wound. Later he was removed to his
home.
One plain drunk was fined 81 and
costs in Mayor Shepherds court yes

fine was not forthcoming, as the gen

and he will be the guest Of the city
for the next five days.

attended - and managed ~ subordi-
mates or some soldier 81 experience
and military knowledge. While
Root is giving the President long-head-
ed advice on how to steer the second
| term boom around the Philippines
rock, Gen. Miles will doubtless be the
real Secretary of War. although the
army regulations clearly define the du-
| ties of the head of the army as dis
! tinguished from those of the Secretary
of War.
This peculiar arrangement may be
productive of the best possible results,
for there is no better or more capable
and experienced general in the army
than Miles, despite his long continued
snub by the administration, which fear
ed his popularity. But the Register
for one believes in fair and open deal
ing and that every public official
should stand ON his own merits.
Hence, we believe, that if Root was
taken into the cabinet to be the Pre5i-
dents legal adviser, which has been
practically admitted, he should have
been appointed, not Secretary of War,
but Attorney General for which office
he is eminently qualified, while he is
not at all fit to be Secretary of War,
and Attorney General Griggs resigna-
ton should have been requested. And,
further, we believe that if it was in
tended that Miles should assume the
duties of Secretary of War he should
have been given that Office, for which
he is most admirably equipped, if he
would accept it.
Already we have had too much ho-
Gus pocus, political chicanery and sail
ing under false colors under the pres
ent administration to suit the average
American citizen, and it all has been
due to Mr. McKinley's horror of max
ing enemies and his favorite policy OF
letting things drift in the hope OF
something turning up to help him out
of his difficulties-a la Micawber.

In the latest LOADED" bouquet he
SHES at the head of the president Gen.
eral Alger makes it plain that Mr..
Mckinley alone was responsible for
the appointment of incompetent sons
of somebodies to important staff posi-
tons in the army during the Spanish
war.
Alger evidently has an unlimited
supply of such bouquets in stock.
What makes it particularly harrassing
to the president is that the Michigan
der fires only one at a time, leaving
the president in constant apprehension
as to when the next will come and
what it will reveal as to the real re-
sponsibility for the gross mismanage-
ment and official murder of our troops

one of the old Spanish inquisitorial
punishment of drop of water falling

which finally drove him raving mad.

and there, we saw puff of white vapor.
This vapor issued from cracks in the

we were told that animals that had
strayed from the paths had never
again been heard of, and we were
warned TO keep to the beaten track in
our wanderings. We began to feel the

Mauna Loa and was attended by long
series of earthquake shocks. On the
I'd of April a terrific earthquake
took place and it did more or less
damage in every part of Hawaii. At
Kapapala, in the district of Kau, it
caused the great mud flow," when
mass of marshy clay was detached from
the bluff at the head of the valley and
in few minutes swept down for dis
lance of three miles, in stream about
half mile wide and thirty feet deep in
the middle. 1t moved so swiftly that
it overlook and buried thirty-one hui
man beings and over one hundred
horses, cattle and goats. Pele at this
eruption called another element besides
fire to aid her in the work of destruc-
ton. A tremendous wave, forty or fifty
feet high, rolled in upon the coast of
Kau, sweeping away villages and de-
stroying cocoanut groves. Over eighty
persons persisted in a few minutes. Five
DAYS after this, the lava burst out on
the southwest slope of Mauna Loa, at
q point $500 feet ahsve the sea. The
lava spouted up in great fountains,
several hundred feet high, and flowed to
the sea, distance of ten miles, in two
hours. This eruption, which lasted five
days. destroyed several houses and
several hundred head of cattle, and over
flowed 1000 acres of good land. Irjs5s

The natives say she is sometimes a
beautiful young woman and sometimes
dreadful old bag.
Mauna Loa, the great fire mountain
of Hawaii, is almost $4,000 feet high.
The present eruption has broken out
10000 feet above sea level and about the
same place as issued the flow of 1880.
That flow lasted from the 9Th of Novem-
her, 1880, till the 10th of August,
1881, a period of nine months. The
stream began at point of 1900 feet
above the level of the sea, and stopped
three-quarters of mile above Hilo, the
pretty seaport town of Hawaii. Those
months of uncertainty and apprehen-
sion were very hard on the property
owners and citizens in and about Hilo.
Work was laid aside and people camped
along the stream to watch its course
and be able to give warning if the dam
ger became imminent. And now the lit
tie town is threatened again.
On the 9th of March, 1868, an erup-
ton began in the summit crater of
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1899-09-02

then suddenly rose twelve feet above

and doing great damage. Twelve lives
were lost.
Kilauea, 4,040 feet above sea level, on
the eastern side of Mauna Loa, is the
largest active volcano in the world.
There has been handed down descrip-
ton of an eruption from Kilauea in
1890. Keoua, high chief, set out from
Hilo for Kau by the overland route that
leads past the volcano of Kilauea. His
followers encamped there two days,
during which the crater was very ac-
tive. On the third day, as they were on
their way to Kau in three divisions,
terrific earthquake took place, after
which an immense black cloud rose out
of the crater and shut out the light of
day. An enormous quantity of black
sand and cinders was thrown to a great
height, and come down in destructive
shower for many miles around. The
rear body, which suffered the least, aft

BEETLES AS UNDERTAKES.
When They Discover a Dend Animal
or Bird 1t Is Buried for
Future Use.

People often wonder what becomes
of the dead mice and dead birds, for,
though birds and mice are constantly
dying in large numbers, hardly one is
ever to be seen. The fact is that they
are buried by beetles. Buchner gives
a brief account of them as follows:
Several of them unite together to
bury under the ground, as food and
shelter for their young, some dead an
imal, such as mouse, toad, a mole,
q bird, etc. The burial is performed
because the corpse if left above ground
would either dry up or grow rotten or
be eaten by other animals. In all these
cases the young would perish, whereas
the dead body lying in the earth and
withdrawn from the outer air lasts
very well. The burying beetles go TO
work in very well-considered fash
ion, for they scrape away the earth
lying under the body, so that it sinks
of itself deeper and deeper. When it
is deep enough down it is covered
over from above. If the situation is
stony the beetles, with united forces
and great efforts, drag the corpse to
some place more suitable for burying.
They work SO diligently that mouse.
for instance, is buried within three
hours. But they often work on for
days, so as to bury the body as deeply
as possible. From large carcasses, such
as those of horses, sheep, etc., they
only bury pieces as large as they can
manage"
There can be no doubt of the intelli.
gence of these strange insects, as a
gentleman discovered in rather GU.
rious way. He desired to dry dead
toad, and for that purpose he fastened
it upon the top of an upright stick.
The burying beetles, however, were at
tracted by the smell, and, finding that
they could not reach the toad, they un-
dermined the stick. causing it to fall
with the toad, which was then duly
buried.-Our Animal Friends.
