GRANT AND JEFF DAVIS

From the New York Press.
 Old settlers in Portland and Tacoma love to tell why Mrs. Ulysses s. Grant and Mrs. Jefferson Davis are so devoted friends. When Grant was stationed in the distant northwest with his regiment, away back in before the war times, charges were pre- ferred against him which had to be review ed by the secretary of war. The time was somewhere between 1853 and 1857. In that period Jefferson Davis was secretary of war, and he took the part of the young officer, dismissing the charges with gem tie reprmand. Grant never forgot this, and his widow still wears the recollection of 1t in her heart.

A May Festival,

The Mobile Herald, in its desire to pro- mote a Birmingham festival, makes this suggestion:
 'The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias meets in Birmingham the second week in May. It will be a great occasion, for the order Is large one in Alabama. and the assembling of the Grand Lodge will probably bring more than thousand delegates and others to the Magic City. Why not then have the May festival at this time. and ask the cooperation of the knights in grand civic and mystic parade. The event can be made grand one If prop erly managed. We are anxious for other communities besides our own to have suc- cessful celebrations. and we have reason to take special interest in Birmingham, a city whose interests are so thoroughly and closely identified with our own.'
 This kindly suggestion Is worthy of con sideration. The Knights of Pythias are a very picturesque body of men. They go on horseback, and no doubt they would gladly lend hand In the making of a great festival.
 The music festival occurs on Friday and Saturday, May and 6. thus making it 9 fine conclusion of a May festival. This would involve a change in the time o.f the meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias to the first week of May in- stead of the second week, but as only the lodges of this state are concerned a change could perhaps be brought about. The newspaper men. too, iac1 expressed will ingness to meet here oihS She occasion, and when the newspaper men, the Knights of Pytlffas and the lovers of good music unite, the outcome is not doubtful.
 In order to harmonize all interests, and to make the coming festival gloriously suc- cessful, it would be necessary to select the first week of May as the festival period, and procure, if possible, a change in the time of the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Knights. If all this can be accomplished the first week of May could be filled with fine events, and no one would regret that Jack Frost had supplanted Vulcan in Feb ruary.
 MT. Johnston" has certainly turned him.

The Work of Congress.

The census bill is in conference commit tee, and if its grossly partisan features coming from the house, can be eliminated, there will be no difficulty in passing the bill. This leaves only the army organiza- ton bill. besides the appropriation bills. that must be attended to if an extra ses- sion is to be avoided.
 The Nicaragua canal bill should be pass ed, and so should better quarantine bill, and an Alaskan code bill, and the Hawaiian bill, and a half dozen other bills, but all these will keep until another congress is assembled. The army bill is perhaps a necessity.
 The army situation is this: with the com ing of peace through the exchange of rat ifications, all volunteers must be mustered out, and the regular army must be re- stored to its old footing of about 25 900 men. At present the regular army consists of about 6OOO0 men, two-thrds of whom are or soon will be in Cuba or the Philippines. The administration wants authority to raise the army to a maximum of 100000 men, and to commission at once nearly 900 officers. Senator Cockrell, on the other hand, would prefer to give the adminstra- tion power to keep the regular army at its present strength until July 1, 1901, period of over two years, and he would also au- thorize the president to enlist volunteers 10 the number of 35 O00 men in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. natives of those Islands

Htor Cockrell anu
 orally speaking, is very wide and deep, the one fastening upon the country a regu- lar army 100000 strong, for the pretended maximum clause deceives no one, and the other providing for an ample force in the next two years, while leaving the perma- nent policy unchanged from that prevail ing before the war. The latter looks doubt less to reasonable increase of the regu- lar army at the end of two years. The senators who stand ready to talk to defeat the Hul-Hawley bill may be sure that they have a majority of the voters of the country behind them; and if the republi- cans will not accept ample provision cover- ing two years, let them take the other thing. Let them carry out their threat of an extra session. Let them force a big standing army on the country, and let all the world know who did 1t, why it was done, and especially what hidden pluto cratic springs gave the demand it's strength and energy and insolence.

IN HOTEL LOBBIHS
 AND ELSEWHERE

Tho greatest surprise was manifested in the lobbies last night when It became known that Governor Johnston had refused to appoint Hon. John W. Tomlinson to be a member of the railroad commission. There was more than surprise-there was dlsap- pointment, amazement, indignation. There were earnest protests. But all protest is un- availing now. It had been generally con- ceded that one of the two appointments would go to Senator Caffee. but nobody dreamed of Representative Kyle being named for the other place. Everybody be- lieved it would be Tomlinson failing whom, it was thought some other man south would win.

was aware of the fact that Ben Hasar
had overdrawn his account with the
firm to the extent of $500 and that
Robert Telford had overdrawn his ac-
count over $500. Dugan said Ryan's
suit was simply bluff.
