when Russell B. Harrison, the son of eX-
President Harrison, was appointed a major
in the inspector generals department at
the outbreak of the Spanish war
the carpers in newspaper circles, -
says Lesles Weekly, greeted the
appointment with the usual sneer about the
preferment being based on favoritsm and
other unworthy motives, but events have
more than justified the appointment. From
the beginning of his service Major Harrison
has been one of the most useful and valued
officers in the army. He was first assigned
to duty as provost marshal on the staff of
General Lee at Jacksonville, Fla. Here his
energy and ability and his strict enforce
ment of army rules and regulations gave
Jacksonville the enviable record Of being the
best conducted camp in the south during the
war. At the close of his service at this
point the newspapers of Jacksonville spoke
in the highest terms of Major Harrison's
work in preserving law and order in the
camp. and his marked ability as an execu-
tive officer. The common council of the city
also passed resolutions expressive OF the
public appreciation of Major Harrison's eX-
cellent administration and petitioned the
president to appoint him a lieutenant colonel.
He has exhibited they said the qualities
of true soldier and an able commander
He was also stationed at Savannah, Ga,
and received a similar high compliment
from the common council of that city, which
was all the more noticeable because Major
Harrison comes from republican stock. At
the close of the war Major Harrison was
sent to Havana, and rendered distinguished
service in establishing the new and better
order of things in that city Later he was
assigned to duty as chief of the military
police in the province Of Santiago, where he
performed valuable service in the capture OF
brgands who infested that region. The
mayor and town council of Marianao were so
impressed with the high character of his
work that they passed a resolution express
sive of their esteem and gratitude. In Au-
gust OF the present year Major Harrison
was stricken with yellow fever at San
tiago and for a time his life was despaired
Of Happily, he recovered from the attack
and is now in this country on a well-de-
served furlough."

ECHOES OF oUR WAR.

Some unknown Dooley out around Manila
has started the story that Aguinaldos chief
engineer is an Irish soldier OF fortune bear
ing the sonorous name OF jeremiah Mortar,
ity. lie is said to have been the designer
of the Filipino trenches from which the na-
tives have been repeatedly driven by the
Americans. These trenches were much ad-
mired for the skill and ingenuity displayed
in their construction. and many officers
marveed that much time and labor should
be expended in defenses only to b, absn-
doned when the Americans appear But
that did not concern M0rarity. His was
not to reason why" He went on planning
with the zeal Of a martyr The Luzon
Dooley gives his story the customary ro-
mantle color by picturing Moriarity as "a
veritable Chevaler Burke He has served
in the French English and German armies
previous to his affliation to the c.use Of
Asuiaaldo. He affiliated with the rebels
through no sympathy for their cause but
for the large sum of money which Agunaldc
paid over to him. lie is highly educated, d
brave man, and an accomplished linguist" ."
This is slight variation of the parent
story which painted Aguinado as the son
of an lrishman straight from Kerry, but 1t
did not take, so the name and occupation
were revised and the tale wagged once more.
There is one Irishman in Manila, however
of whose antecedents there is no doubt and
who is reputed to be as smooth as any one
that ever shook the turf of the "Ould Sod"
His name is Higgins. He is general mana-
ger of the Manila & Dagupan railroad.
Before Dewey handed the Spanlard a few
balls at Cavte, General Manager Higgins
was solid with the Spanish admnistra-
tion. The prospective change of rulers did
not bother him much but he lost consid
cradle sleep when Aguinaldo's ragged army
surrounded Manila before the Americans got
in. Like Artemus Wards civil war patriot,
Higgins was willing to sacrifice his relatives
in the glorious cause of maintaining peaceful
relations with the hostile factions and eX-
pediting their goods at the usual rates. BY
clever move he placed his brother in-law
on Aguinaldos staff. At last accounts he
was still there, or in that vicinity. An
other relative is attached to the transporta-
tion department of the American army.
With representatives close to the rival
thrones, General Manager Higgins continued
business throughout the turmoil of war with
only such Interruptions as military plans re-
quired. 1t did not make any difference
Rates were the same, and the passenger or
shipper had to take the will for the deed.
The marvellous tact of the general manager
nctted unheard of dividends. And there are
more to follow.

THE WESTERN ELECTIONS.

The returns IRON the Western elections
which occur today will be watched with
great interest Though this Is an eff
year the campaigns In three of the states
have approached very near In excitement
and interest to those Of Presidential
election. Though they are state elections
and no oongrs ssmen are to be chosen the
fight has been almost entirely along
national lines. the Philippine question
being especially prominent. Interests In
two OF them has been further heightened

three years ago, and of both candidats S,
in all prob liability. next year. In Ken
tucky a split among the Democrats has
done more TO enliven the campaign than
anything else and has rendered the state
doubtful. If we can judge any thing from
the diversity Of opinion among the cleo
tion prophets the results In Ohio, Nsbrss-
ka and kentucky are n doubt Bryan
has been making herculean effort to
keep bis own state In line, and as he is
personally popular there, 1t would not
be strange II he should succeed In doing
1t. though the great and Astounding pros
perity of agriculture and industry in the
state have deprived the fusionists of all
their calamity ory which has been SO
potent OF late years In keeping the state
in the Populist column. In Ohio the
contest Is complicated by great many
side issues. Besids the regular Rspubli-
oan and Democratic candidates, Jones,
the Mayor Of Toledo. is running on an
independent PLATFORM. and contrary to
the rule which generally holds tue with
Independents candidates, threatens to poll
very large vote. Besides both the
regular party candidates are encountsring
fsctieus opposition In their own ranks.
Thus conditions have been created that
may have a good deal of effect on the
result. 1t appears most probable, how
ever, that the Republicans will elect their
candidate for governor BY q good plurality
and carry a majority of the legislature.

nope Was entertained last spring, and II
one ooula judge from zen. Otis's de-
spatches he thought for weeks 1t was
right on the eve of being realized. 1t is
only fair to say, however, that there are
better reasons now for thinking that the
war Is near It's end than there were
then. Our army has been considerably
reinforced, and the insurgent army must
have beau weakened considerably by the
discouragements Of constant defeat and
constant rstreating. Still it Is best not
TO be too ssnguine. An army like
Aguinaldo's, though easy to defeat. Is
hard to capture. and rs 1t lives of the
country there Is nstle chance of starving
it into submission. The expectation that
1t Is about to be caught In trap may
not be realized, as several expeditions Of
the same kind last spring failed to be
realized. 1t 10 to be hoped, however,

der win be accepted, the sooner it is
brought about the better for all con-
