Haotes

One more humiliation, one more
sorrow has been added to lrelands
Overlooking cup oi bitterness in that
because England possesses the soil OF
Ireland the Irish may not welcome Paul
Kruger to their midst,
The hearts of the Irish people 60 out
TO him in passionate admiration. He is
the symbol OF that patton which is doing
what Ireland longs and hopes to do
fighting against the most cruel OF the
worlds oppressors OF the weak, the
British Empire.
No living man would receive such
welcome to Ireland as Kruger, were it
possible for him to land there, except
perhaps De Wet, Louis Botha or SteYn.
The assertion is now made, and
upon authority that cannot be doubted,
that former Senator Quay is on the eve
OF retiring from the field as a candidate
Tor the United States Senatorship IN
favor OF Peter A. B. Widener,
The caucus pledge that has been
exacted from many members OF the
Legislature would be just as binding
with Wicener as the candidate as 1t
would be with Quay as the nominee
One purpose that it is hoped to secure
by making Widener the nominee Of the
caucus IS the breaking down OF the lines
which have been drawn so tightly by
the anti Quay members Of the LegIsla-
ture against QUAY.

Attorney General Griges will
retire from the Cabine at the conclusion
Of his present term
It is an open secret that there will be
few regrets among President McKinlev's
political advisers and among members
OF his present cabinet who contemplate
retaining their places after next March
that Grggs is going to retire. His
appointment to succeed Justice Nc
Kenna has always been regarded as one
of the serious strategic bunders OF the
Administration, not because GrigRs was
not able to fulfil the duties of the Office,
but because it was generally recognized
as Governor of New Jersey he had been
for several years the embodiment of the
idea that trusts are sacred
Last winter it was found that Griggs
had borrowed large sums Of money
from New York trust company with
Secretary OF War Root as his principal
indorser OF the notes, That created
more or less scandal which waa Obnox'
ious to the President. While nobody
pretends to say that Griggs was forced
to give the Preside mt notice that he will
retire on March 4, it is pretty generally
believed that he himself appreciated
that the con utinuation of his services as
Attorney General was entirely out OF the
question.
It is said that John F. Richards OF
Ironton, Ohio, is TO be appointed Attor-
ney General. Richards, who is ~ years
OF age, was Attorney General OF Ohio
while Mckinley was Governor OF the
State. Richards has always been a loyal
Mckinley man and IN 1896 defeated a
scheme which had been planned to
humiliate Mckinley IN his own State BY
taking away Tenth district delegates
from. Richards is graduate OF Harvard
college and served a term as a State
Senator after filling the offices OF prose
cutting attorney and city solicitor in his
own city

official explanation OF the War Depart

Department OF Porto Rico removed the
necessity for an Inspector General IN
