GENERAL wHEE ER, RETIRED

From the Washington Times.
 Many more years of health and happiness to General Joseph Wheeler! His fighting days are over, but his record will remain an inspiration to his countrymen while love for the land lasts. He has served in two wars, and in both with distinction Siding with his State and section in the great civil struggle, he made name for yalor and for enterprise second to none in the cavalry arm of the Confederacy. Accepting the re- suM of that struggle in good faith, he re- turned to his duties as citizen or the re- united country; and when his country was menaced by foreign foe he was one of the first to offer his sword in it's defense. And he soon showed that the thirty-three years Of peace had not cooled his ardor, nor les sened the energies of his earnest nature. His impatience for service In Cuba, his snap and push when once on shore there, and the grasp he exhibited of affairs up to the last hours of the campaign, brought him forward as easily one of the foremost and most attractive figures of that stirring time.
 The promotion he received had been fully earned, and the President in bestowing 1t upon him met in most happy way the de- sires and the expectations of the country. It was good to feel that this man who, as youth, had worn the country's uniform, who had put 1t off in the contest between the sections and donned that of the oppo- sition, and then in his advanced years had put it on again and worn 1t with such hon. or, was now upon the roll of the regular army again, and would remain there to the end. It was the completest union possible, and yet effected of the blue and the gray, and the people of the north as well as of the south sincerely rejoiced In it.
 General Wheelers fighting days are over in the sense that he is now on the retired list of age, and the skies fortunately are so promising for a long pace that his sword will probably never be drawn again. But If the skies should unexpectedly lower, and war should soon again burst upon us, 1t is safe to say that youngster on duty would be reader to support the flag than this veteran who now enters upon his leis- ure. He has shown himself to be of the stuff of which the truest and the bravest are made, and while life remains fight re- mains with men of that stamp.
The age-herald., 1900-09-14

front, to take the places of incompetent scions of her aristocraey, and to give form and reason to all movements. The younger sons of England's aristocracy do not lack courage, but they lack military education and skill and general capacity. England's greatest gain from this costly and bloody struggle will not consist so much in the two annexed republics, valuable as they are, as it will in the knowledge that her military system must be changed. Her officers must be selected from a larger number-from the people who really con- tro1 the country The grip of the landed aristocracy upon the army is lost.
 What will become of the Boers? Will they settle down as British colonists as they have done in Cape Colony? Or will they trek again? The chances are that they will remain in their present homes. They lack political sense. but not individual and money sense.
 England will now proceed to construct a South African empire, and the Salisbury Chamberlain combine will soon call an elec- tion for members of Parliament, and the combine will again command a majority in the House of Commons, and MT. Chamber lain may become Premier when the in- firmities O. the aged Salisbury incapacitate him for further public service.

HE cElY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALAsAMA
Course of Caribbean Cyclones.

Doubts are expressed in Texas as to the identity of the Caribbean cyclone first mo- ticed in Cuba and the storm that wrecked Galveston but there seems to be no basis for such doubts. Early in the week the storm passed over Cuba; on Thursday, Sep tember G. it was violent at Key West; on Friday, September ', the wind was blowing strong at Port Eads, and heavy rain was falling; on Saturday. September 8, it struck Galveston, with increased fury; on Sun day, September g, It was in the interior of Texas, and on Monday, September 10, 1t was central in Oklahoma. Later still it was reported in the northwest and on Wednes- day it passed to sea via Cape Breton in Canada AS a rule such a storm comes out of the Caribbean sea, following the Gulf Stream causing high, If not destructive winds, In Florida, and all along the Atlan- tic coast up to some point where 1t goes to sea. This occurs in the majority of cases. but in the last fifty years it is known that now and then Caribbean storm of a destructive nature bends westward, as did the one that wrecked Galveston, and goes into either Mexico or across the northwest In 1898 such a storm wrecked two islands on the Louisiana coast, Cheniere Caminada and Grand Isle, causing a loss of nearly 2cOO lives; in 1886 similar storm destroyed 200 lives at or near the mouth of the Sa- bine river, in Texas. In 1875 like storm destroyed Indianola, in Texas, and In 1856 a hurricane devastated Last Island off the Louisiana coast, killing 450 persons.
 The history of such storms leads the New Orleans Picayune to say: "T>he greatest numbers of these cyclonal storms do not enter the Gulf of Mexico, but move up northward through the Windward Passage, or take the course of the Gulf Stream. It is probable that five out of six times they do not get into the gulf, but remain in the Atlantic so that destructive gulf storms are from six to twelve years apart"
