Yesterday afternoon DIR. D. w. Boone
was called to Trough Run. out by
Georgetown, to attend a young man
named Andrew Brown. aged 10 years,
who had accidentally shot himself.
Young Brown was out hunting ground
hogs short distance from his home
and was resting upon. the fence with
the muzzle of his rifle pressing against
his body, when the piece was in some
manner accidentally discharged. The
bullet entered the arm pit and, taking
an upward course, lodged in the mus
cles at the base of the neck. DIR. Boone
cut the ball out and dressed the wounds
and at last reports the patient was
resting easy and likely to get along
nicely unless the unexpected should
occur. The wound is quite an ugly
one and had it penetrated little lower
would have been fatal.

The Next Vice President.

The definite announcement from the
sick bed of Mr.. Hobart that he is to
retire from politics, settles that much
discussed question. 1t is not unlikely
that very soon the vice president will
be beyond all thoughts and cares of
politics, for his physicians do not hold
out the slightest promise of his recov-
cry. He knows, at least, in the closing
days of his life, in what high esteem
he is held by his countrymen and how
deeply the sympathy of the country
goes out to him.
In the light of his announcement, II
is not bad taste at this time to begin
the discussion of the question of the
next Republican candidate for vice
president. Had Mr.. Hobart retained
his health and strength, the Repuoli-
can convention Of 1900 would nave
been the quietest on record. The Old
triumphant ticket of 80 would have
been renominated without a dissent
ing voice from party leaders or people.
Neither would have tolerated any other
choice. in fact. AS it is, Mr. McKinleys
denomination is as certain as any
event can be before it takes place.
There will be no opposition in the con-
vention or before it meets. His nomi-
nation and his reelection are logical,
natural and inevitable. The people
will take nothing else.
But who will be named for the second
place upon the ticket? This is a matter
that the illness and definite retirement
of Mr.. Hobart have brought promi-
nently before the party and the cOun-
try. This will be the lively part of
the anti-convention campaign, and
here is likely to center the greater part
of the interest in the convention. 1t

Distinguishing Names for Regiments.

In the accounts of the South African
battles there is something striking in
the distinguishing names that are
given to the British regiments They
imply an individuality which is an in
spiration to the members. and which is
felt even by persons whose knowledge
of British geography is limited. In
the numerical designation of regi-
ments given by our system in this
country there is something confusing.
and there is lacking the unifying and
inspiring principle given by local
spirit.
The Chicago Times Herald urges
that there would be an advantage in
the adoption of the English system by
our war department. 1t points out
that after the battles at Dundee and
Glencoe, for instance, the Dublin
Fusiiers and the Devonshire regiment
were celebrated the world over for
their magnificent courage, and the
same was true of the Gordon High
landers and the Manchester regiment
after Elandslaagte. Not only did peo-
none of the confusion of numbers and
which now assist the memory but they
appreciated more or less accurately
various differences in the personnel
And if this is true beyond the Dor
ders of England. Ireland and Scotland
the effect of the nomenclature within
those countries and upon the regi-
ments themselves must be much
greater. Local pride is touched at
once and the soldiers are inspired to
live up to their traditions. If the
| ranks of the Gordon Highlanders are
| being constantly renewed, there was
not man among them at Dundee who
did not remember that his was the
force which had won imperishable re-
| nown by storming kargai Heights in
India year before. The name helps
| both to a vivid sense of duty and to
| the preservation of characteristic
| traits.
We have observed the same
phenomena in this country in connec-
ton with our volunteer troops. In
every state those regiments receive the
warmest welcome which bears the
| states name. The people will applaud
which is theid due but their enthusi-
| asm is reserved for their own. Nor
| are the soldiers Indifferent to the dis
tinction. We may be sure that the

1t is tardy justice which Spain is
giving to General Toral, the command
er of the vanquished Spanish forces at
Santiago. The official investigation
has completely eXOnerated him from
the blame which the Spanish govern
ment and people had heaped upon him.
Had they been familiar with the con-
ditions at Santiago they would have
given him praise rather than blame,
for he displayed great personal cour-
age and made vigorous and OBJ
stinate defense against the Americans.
The victors of Santiago have been
ready in their praise of his struggle
