THE PERMANENT MILITARY STATE

EVIL.
The military clique at Washington
which has dominated the affairs of the
war department is on the verge of hys-
terics. Secretary Root has made the
statement to a senate committee that
there is not man in any staff corps in
Washington that would not be benefited
by going back to the line and spending
full year Of service there He has ad-
mitted the existence of tneficiency in
the members of the general staff, and
that the service would be greatly improv-
ed by returning staff members to the line
at the expiration of four years staff
service
1t is notorious that the clique which
rules the war Office. and composes the
so-called general staff. is about as use
less as a fifth wheel to wagon. Staff
appointments have. in the majority of
cases, been secured through political in
huenee regardless of fitness or ability.
Many staff members have held their
places so long that they are no longer in
touch with the army. and age has greatly
impaired any usefulness they once had.
The work of the war office which these
incompetents were supposed to perform
has been performed by clerical subalterns
who have issued intoierable orders to
good and useful soldiers in the line to
the great detriment of the service. All
manner of wire pulling in the staff service
has been going on for years, and the
result has been that the incapables are
in high places in most instances. The
result of all this was shown in the reve-
lations made in the Eagan investigation
and the scandalous exposures attending
the Spanish war
Every nation which INDUCES in the
luxury Of a permanent general staff suf-
fers more or less from its existence, and
if the high standard which the army of
the United States has achieved is to be
maintained there must be no permanent
staff. and stated period of staff service
must be substituted for the present de-
moralizing system.

NoN-pARr1sAN SENTIMENT.
Advice to Voters in the Coming
Campaign.


To the Editor Of the Globe:
The duty of every citizen of st. Paul TO
cast his vote intelligently and judiciously
for the best men for all city officials was
revcr so urgent as it is today. The
evils which the city has suffered in the
past four years from the incumbency of
faithless and incompetent public officials
have been SO numerous and far-reaching
that no man of ordinary intelligence and
honesty can fail to have realized their
damaging effects upon the city's interest.
One grand united effort should be made
TO rescue the city from the rule of this
class and while it may not be successful
in every case even partial success will
be worth all the experiment will cost.
Let no man who has the good of the
city at heart fail to do his full part IN
this direction at the ensuing city election,
and we shall see an Improvement that
encourages stronger efforts to secure a
clea. and honest administration of mu-
nicipal affairs. competent police force,
an assessor that won't be employed by a
large brewery. an assembly and COM
mon council that won't be owned body
and SOU by the street railroads, gas and
telephone companies In the future.

The summer season is now approaching,

professional league baseball club
St. Paul mourns its baseball lost, and
1t is not entirely to blame for the exodus
of the brilliant but tantalizing Charles
Comiskey, who was ever promising vic

key wounded the st. Paul fans in treir
tenderest spot when his cub failed to pull
verize the Minneapolis outfit, and that
was his undoing. Interest in his club fell
off and remained off for that reason and
no other. and the attendance at the
games followed suit. The mere fact that
Comisl0ey couldn't help it was neither
solace nor excuse, and he paid the penal

A COAT WHICH GREW.

 Escape.

Story of Clever Prisoners Plan foz
 Escape.
 Green Casey, convict at San Quen- tin, has won the admiration of all his fellow convicts at the prison for the novel contrivance he has invented in Aorder to make his escape from the pris. Sn walls some time ago, and through Sheriff Langdon of Santa Clara county the story has leaked out, says the Sah Francisco Call. Casey was kind Of trusty around the prison grounds, and while working in one of the grounds iR the vicinity of the prison he took it into his head that he would like to es- cape, and was beginning to tax his mind as to the most advantageous way to suit his purpose. As he was stroll, ing around on the green grass which grows in abundance around the prison, an idea struck him that if he could initiate the grass by some means he could e1ude the watchful sentries and make good his escape. Through the aid of his convict friends he procured some pieces of burlap, and with the 1 aid of some rope made them into long coat that would cover him completely when lying on the grass. He then se- cured some wheat from the prison stable and sowed it down earelessly at one end of the prison grounds, and watered it daily In a few weeks the grass grew up through the sack coat. and before a great while the piece of burlap was conformed into grassy lawn. He was now ready to carry out hisaplans, and patiently waited an op- portunity. At last he succeeded in get ting his new contrivance across to the northwest of the prison, and in few minutes was under his grassy coat. Slowly he erept along with the clever ness of worm, and from all appear ances success would crown his efforts. But his progress was too rapid, and very soon he heard footsteps coming in his direction. The moving grass plat, which was slowly making it's way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstiH as the eye of guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investigate the phenomenon. A kick in the ribs appraised Casey that his plan had been discovered. The guard took Casey. and red shirt now covers his breast.

SABLE ISLAND PONIES.
Their Names Are In Some Instances
 Three Yards Long.

10ES8 41OhSs
 The story of animal life on Sable island is strange. Roaming the sandy wastes are herds of wild ponies guard ed by patriarchal stallions, says Aims lees Magazine. These ponies resemble the horses on the sculptures of Nlne- yeh, and approach the beholder seem- ingly out of the framework of antIqu1- sy They are stocky and remarkable for their long manes, which in in- stances have been known to grow to the length of three yards. These po- uies are the remnant of stock thought 10 have been left by some Portuguese fshermen-"Por gals the old rec ords quaintly call them-who touched at the islands on their fishing exped1- ton at even an earlier date than the Marquis de Ia Roche. At one time there were from 400 to 500 wild ponies on the island. but their number has been de- creased by exportation, the severity of the winters and, some people think, by the importation of improved, do- mesticated stallions, which have made the stock less hardy and consequently more susceptible to death from expos are. There are now between eighty and 100 wild ponies and about thirty for domestic use Mounted on ponies, the life savers gal1op over the dunes and among the hilloeks on their long patrols, and the 1tfeboats are drawn to the scenes of shipwreck by teams of five ponies, three at the shaft, and two 1 leaders. Some Of the ponies are sent to Halifax every year or two, and are sold at auction at an average prics of from S15 to SIS.

Thirty Of Them Now at Rsantwood
 Valued at &15o.0oo.
 To speak of John Ruskins art treas. ures is to think of Turner The ex- amples by this master at Brentwood are not now so many as they once were, i'll large part because of his gen. erous gifts to Oxford and Cambridge, to say nothing of the famous Loire series which, complete, he gave to the Oxford galleries. To the university towns he gave, for instance, several beautiful water colors of Venice, of the junction of the Greta and the Tees, which he regarded as one of the very best of the Yorkshire series, the mag nifcent Richmond, Yorks," now in the FitzWilliam Museum, and others. Again. instead of remaining in his possession, The Slayer" given to him by his father about the time of his majority, is now in America. Even today, however. the thirty or so Tur- ner water colors al Brentwood, be- side many sketches. each one chosen with view to some particular beauty, or characteristic, constitute one of the finest collections of the kind owned by an individual. They enable us to- follow the development of tbe artist from 1792, when as lad of F ha painted his own portrait, through his various significant phases, onward to the early forties, when he shaped some of the most wonder-proyoking and ex- quisite of his creations A value Of something like f30.080 has been put upon the assemblage by one who has recently been at Brentwood, but, in truth, linked so closely as they are to Ruskin's life- work, while they remain together they are invaluable. Twenty two years ago Mir. Ruskin exhibited his Turner's in Bond street. The epi- logue to this fascinating notes is dated Brentwood, 10th May, 1878, and after ward comes this simple and beautiful tribute: Being my fathers birthday who, though as aforesaid,h he sometimes would not give me this or that-yet gave me not only all these drawings, but Brantwood-and all else. e."-Lon- don Letter in New York Evening Post.
