The Washington Post ridicules the idea of
Grover Cleveland securing third election
to the presidency, and says:
"The Post is not ready to discredit Mr.
Cleveland's intelligence by the supposition
that he is such a colossal monstrosity OF ego
tism as to imagine that he is destinsd to be
the recipient of an honor which Washington
declined and Grant could not attain. He
must know that this country will take oil
ito chances of wreck and ruin without COM
pelling him to come to the rescue"

OTHERS HAVE THE CALL Time was
when Thurmont held first place as the pro-
gressive town of the county: when We were
introducing water, organizing fire company,
founding bank, bu iding town hall, TAX
ing new name and pressing tor recognition
through the medium of business mems as
soclation. Now others hold that place, and
while they are only doing that which we did
ten years ago. yet the fact that they are do
ing it leads one to hope that they may not
rest content with SO little, but may secure a
momentum that will carry them still further.
We recall W it'll no small concern the sud.
den loss of momentum that our forward
movement suffered; We are concerned about
1t because that loss seems to have been abso-
lutte and irreparable. If its recovery were
certain and only conditioned upon the dis
covery and naming Of the who and the how,
We are of the opinion that our best informed,
wisest and most versatile would be at loss.
These things apparently move in cycles
and evidently we have yet some of the circuit
to travel in the every man. for. himself seq
ment.

AN EXCELLENT Book. Mr.. Henry A.
Weller of Graccham is delivering the Histo'
ty Of our late War with Spain and Story OF
Cuba. This work is by Henry B. Russell
with Introductory chapters by Senators Proc
tor and ThurstOn.
As books of this char acter 60. that is hur-
richly prepared histories, It is scarcely fair to
this work to say that 1t compares favorably
with the best of them, for it really is work
of more than ordinary merit. No author
particularly of q work describing events SC
recent, is without bias and we are bound to
say that some is apparent in this, but 1t de-
tracts so little from the real value of the book
that II should count not at all.
IfMr. Weller would make a re canvass We
believe that he would be repaid for his labor
for those who have received the work mus,
praise it.

The Headgear Preferred for ALL
Around Wear by Old Soldiers.

The question of changing the clothing of
the troops, especially the headgear, is agi-
tating military circles just at present
Service in tropical temperate and frigid
zones allows the widest latitude in the
matter and calls for special and compre-
hensive study. An officer of the quarter
masters department who has been study
ing the question of soldiers hats has made
report in which he says:
Some persons unreasonably demand that
a single headgear should be furnished by
the quartermaster's department for SOL

summer, that will repel all the assaults

sort of thing. We exact too much in de-
manding that the quartermaster's depart

all of the requirements of the service every
where. The best testimony regarding hats

ment comes from the old soldiers who

about them. The present campaign hat

The Senators played game of the farce

hammering the ball all over the field and
winning by the score of % to 4. Reports
from Louisville say that the Colonies were
out for revenge but wherein their passions

of three is mystery. The Washington
lads were in for a trouncing, and. doubt
less realizing this fact, We're careless in
their play. The Colonies, the other
hand were quick to observe the poor game
on tap by the Senators and determined to
fatten up their batting averages. The
game was almost a duplicate of the ones
played in ST. Louis. where the Washington
ians hammered the ball for keeps.

tors and about the worst exhibition of in
effective pitching that has been given by
Billy this season resulted. Six home runs
We're made by the Colonies, to say nothing
OF the doubles, and triples. and in the face
OF this commandment the Senatorial fieiderS
had a hard time registering six mispays.
Woods did the twirling for the Coonels
and he, too, was hit hard, but nothing to
compare to the punishment melted out to

double, while Mccain registered triple

Secretary Root has taken steps to pre-
vent soldiers from spending for other pur-

In letter on the subject he says:
Many complaints have been received
that recruits provided with money as COM
mutation of subsistence spend the same
for other purposes and then report at

1T is said that this plan is working ad-
mirably. that all railroads running out Of
Chicago have accepted this arrangement
and furnish meals for recruits at their

THE Secretary desires that the plan of
providing meal tickets instead Of commu-

that you arrange, through your chief COM

to detachments of recruits sent from re-

authority, says the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, that Wagner and Clarke would play
with Cincinnati next season, and that Leach
would go to Boston Whether this is true
is not known. The officials of the Louis
vile club say that none of the players have
been disposed of. Further than this thet'
would not say. 1t can be said, however,
that the prospects for a big league tear
for Louisville next year are not at all flat
tering. To date the Louisville club has
made money the season, and PreSidens
Dreyfuss says that he is not going to lose
it all by remaining here and losing $500 Il
day. 1t Is also known that the powers that
be are eager to buy out the Louisville Club
in order to reduce the circuit to eight clubs.
1t is also known that many of the clubs
are eager to buy some of the Louisville
players. Clarke Leach, Wagner, Cunning
ham, Bowling, PHILIPPE and Dexter are In
demand. The others would sell for from
$500 to 1000 apiece-at least. most Of them
would. 1t is probable that the Louisville

can draw their own conclusions. The Of

that Louisville would remain in the league

This may be true and it may not be true.

public to believe that the team will be kept
