There appears TO be a disposition in
some quarters to make Gen. Joseph
Wheeler "a man with grievance" From
time to time, in certain newspapers, there
appear articles calculated to show how
Wheeler has been ill-used by Otis; pushed
into the background, refused the promi-
nence due to his station, and otherwise
imposed upon. The little General will be
home shortly, and he will throw all Of
this ehaff to the winds. He is not a grum-
bier He is a soldier. and one of the most
optimistic men alive. If he was not given
place of prominence in the Philippines.
he will explain that it was because the
service needed him in less conspicuous
work. He will object, decidedly and fin
ally, to being made the Winfield Scott
sehley of the volunteer army His mod
esty and his patriotism are in inverse
proportion to his stature,

Pennoyer, the ultra -populistic former
Governor of Oregon who wrote the first
political Thanksgiving proclamation, and
whom the people had about forgotten, has
emerged from obscurity again long enough
to attack Mr.. Bryan, whom he charges
with having defeated his own cause by too
much talking. Pennoyer ought to be an
authority on the folly of talking too much,
since he dug his own political grave with
his tongue. Nevertheless, ne is such a
dead 'un" that his attack upon Mr.
Bryan will be forgotten almost before the
ink upon the paper is dry.

Our correspondent "Democritus,' writ
ing of the proposition to rename the num-
bered streets in the southern section of
the city. says: Between Henry and An
deIson the street numbers run in the
l3OOs, after Anderson in the HOGS. Why
not, therefore, starting with Anderson as
-Fourteenth street, call the next Fifteenth
street, and so on" The why not" is very
plain, if "Democritus" will but think
moment. The 1905 and the 140Gs are on
Bull, Drayton, Whitaker and other north
and-south thoroughfares, which are not
to be interfered with in any manner, and
not on the east-and-West streets, whose
nomenclature it is proposed shall be cor.
rected to correspond with the consecutive
numbers of streets shown on the city
map Again, to change First street to
Fifteenth would cause confusion, whereas
to prefix the even number thirty would
cause no confusion at all First street
would become Thirty-hrst, Second would
become Thirty-second, and so on. What is
desired is simply this; to make the num-
ber-names of the streets show how far
they are from Bay street the northern
most street of the city. 1t seems to us
that this proposition is so plain and SEN
sible, and the change is so needed, that
City Council ought not to put off max
ing the Improvement longer than its next
meeting.

A number of celebrated English surgeons
have lately gone TO the war in South At
RIGA. Their departure has been heralded as
an exemplification of the highest order of
patriotism, since they gave uD most
profitable practices to take service under
the flag of their country. According 10
late cable story, however, it appears that
these surgeons are not entitled to al of
the credit that has been given 10 them.
Many of the swell young mobiles who have
gone TO the war, regarding it as a sort of
big picnic, have insisted that they be at
tended by the fashionable doctors of Eng
land, at government expense. Some of
these fashionable doctors, il is said, have
demanded and been granted pay at the
rate of $4,000 a year during their service
in the army. The ordinary army surgeon
in the Brush army receives from $l25 to
$500 per year for his services. 1t is pre-
dicted that the furnishing of these fancy
doctors for the brave but often brainless
young scions Of nobility in the army in
South Africa will cause a stir in the
House Of Commons after the war is over

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Tribune (Rep) says:
The Carnegie-Frick case involves more
money than any ever submitted TO a court
of law in America, and perhaps anywhere
else. A Hague tribunal would hardly be
too big for its adjudication. The property
in partition represents more value than
the dapitaliza ton of the East India and
South Sea companies put together, ana
the house of ROthschild had been in bust
ness for some generations before 1t had
accumulated 50 much money. 1t is mainly
the growth of the last dozen years, and
it may take the lawyers as much longer
to settle the dispute concerning it,"
The New York Times Dem.) says: at
begins TO look as if Mr.. Quay would
have to manage to get the Legislature Of
PENNSYLVANIA to elect him as senator II
he expects to get a seat In the body which
he cannot be said to have honored. He
is not confident that he can do this, and
his friends i'm his own state are talking OF
his withdrawal as candidate IL the SEN
ate will "vindicate' him by seating him
on the Governors appointment. But the
only vindicatiou that can be of any value
TO him is before a jury. and that he is in
no hurry to challenge"
The Chicago Tmes-Herald (Rep) says
why was Macrum sent to Pretoria to
humiliate the United States and to desert
his post when there was a chance to earn
fame, aud incidentally his salary?
"Why, Macrum at Pretoria was the nat
ural child Of the spells system.
That's why.
''The only wonder is that we have not
Macrum or a Pratt at every point where
there is a salary and a chance of display
ing the inevitable unfitness OF men chosen
for pernicious activity instead Of mer-
It,"

The news from Florida, that the oranges
have not been injured by the cold is very
gratifying. Another freeze-out of orange
trees, like that Of several years ago, would
be a national misfortune. The probabn-
ties now are that the trees will go through
the winter without injury. The late cold
snap retarded any flow of sap which may
have started upward, and so long as the
sap is not flowing the danger is not great.

Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff of New York de-
clines to think that his vice presidential
boom is as a word writ on water. He
has gone West on little trip to see if he
cannot work up some enthusiasm for him
self. If ne has taken with him those thir-
ty-seven waistcoats of brilliant brocade,
he ought to be able to stir the Westerners
to show of some sort of emotion.

Those "dem'd ht'ry fellers," the critics,
VINO have been unsuccessful with books
of their own, in all probability, are stall
throwing hot shot into David Harum"
and processing to wonder how any sane
person can read and enjoy the story.
Meanwhile the sale of the book goes boom
ing upward. Already h has reached 49,
coo copies and the demand has shown
no sign of falling off. 1t may be that the
narrative is lacking in originality and lit
erary polish but it is utter nonsense to
say there is no merit in a story which
can command so prodigeous a patronage.
Mediocrity seldom reaches its second edi-
ton.

The Mississippi Legislature is taking
steps of the right sort to induce manu-
factuyes to locate in its state. The re-
mission of taxes for ten years is quite an
attractive inducement In South Caro-
lima the virtue and value of such con-
cessions to manufacturing Industries have
been abundantly illustrated.

The play "Sapho," in New York, which
has been declared indecent by dozens Of
competent authorities, and which is so
bad that the attention Of the police has
been called to it by one OF the yellow
journals of that city, appears to be on a
veritable boom. 1t is impossible for the
house to accommodate all of the people
who desire to see the play. And, curious
ly enough, it is said to attract more wo-
men than men. At a matinee performance
the other day an observer took the care
to note the audience critically. He found
there were ten women to one man pres
ent; and the ages of the women, to the
best of his judgment. ranged from twenty
to thirty-hve years. There were no old or
matured women present; nor were there
any mothers with their daughters, nor
young men with their sweethearts. The
more audacious the lines of the play. or
the more broadly suggestive the situa-
tions, the greater was the laughter or the
applause from the young women in at
tendance. In view of this condition of af
fairs in New York, it is not to be Won
dered at that the ministers OF the gospeI
have determined TO begin a crusade
against the impure and the degenerate
play.

THE EXPECTED HAPPENED.

The bolt of the Middle-of-the- Road
Popuhsts from the meeting of the Ma.
tional Populist Committee was not a sur
prise. 1t was hardly expected that the
two factions of the Populsts would act
tremendously. The Middle-of-the-Road
Populists want to have everything their
own way. They have an idea apparentlv
that if they were permitted to name The
leaders of a fusion between the Demo-
Gratis and Populists there would be no diff
ficulty in wrestling the government from
the control of the Republicans
The Popuists who bolted the commit
tee meeting are the same people who met
at Cincinnati in 1898 and nominated War
ton Barker for president and Ignatius
Donnelly for vice president. If they could
have their way, both PopuIists and Dem
ocrats would indorse what was done by
them in Cincinnati when the Barker
Donnelly ticket was made
1t is not matter of much consequence
to the Democratic party, or any other
party, what either the regular or the bolt
ing Populists do. The people have very
little use for them. They make a great
indicate great voting strength 1t is
doubtful if they could make a respectable
showing in any state in which the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are pretty evenly
balanced. They have some strength in
Texas. but what difference does it make
if they have? The Democratic party IS
Overwhelmingly in the majority there.
1t would not be bad move for the Dem
ocrats to cut loose from the Populists al.
together. Already too many concessions
have been made 10 them. The Demo-
cratic party would poll more votes if it
should go into the campaign without any
alliance of any kind with them.
II is no doubt the purpose of the regu-
lar Populists to arrange a fusion with the
Democrats That was apparent as soon
as the National Populist Committee met.
Fusion seldom or never invites the conf
| dence of the people. Too much has to be
sacrificed to bring it about. The break
in the ranks of the Populists offers an
opening to the Democrats to sever all con-
| nection with them, and if the Democrats
| are wise they will avail themselves of it.
