Readers Of current literature in war times
know that the best accounts OF military
movements and descriptions Of army life
which furnish material for history are writ
ten by war correspondents. This book is
of that class il being a graphic and emf
nently readable account of one of the most
notable episodes in the British-BOer war.
It is written by Frederick II. Rowland, an
American. who was war correspondent for
the London Daily Mail and the Providence
Journal. Although il comes a little late in
the list of South African war books. it is
one of the best and is instructive as well
as interesting. Providence: Preston q

The appointment Of William B.. Ridgely.
Of Springfield. H., as controller of the
currency TO succeed Mr.. Dawes, resigned,
is a matter of national interest. In the
first place, it emphasizes President Roose-
velt's intention to carry out the known
wishes and intentions of his predecessor.
Mr.. Ridgely had been selected for the po-
sitiOn by President Mckinley before the
latter started on his fatal trip to Buffalo.
No doubt President Roosevelt is person
ally acquainted with men who would fill
the office acceptably. and some one of
whom. perhaps, he would hav been glad
TO appoint. His prompt confirmation of the
choice Of his predecessor is very creditable.
The appointment is interesting in a public
sense on account Of the importance Of the
position. The national bank system is so
closely identified with the business inter
ests of the country and of every community
that its proper supervision and control is a
matter Of universal concern. The office
has always been well administered par
t~icularly in recent years, and to nave it
otherwise might cause serious disturbance
in the monetary affairs of the country. 1t
is therefore of public concern to know that
the new appointee is regarded by those
who know him and are competent to judge
as thoroughly qualified for the position.
His grandfather was connected with the
old United States Bank, and Mr.. Ridgely
himself is a banker and business man of
large experience. The appointment is
warmly Endorsed by Chicago bankers The
last three controllers of the currency
Dawes, Eckels and ~Lacey-came from Chi
! cago, and if Mr.. Ridgely keeps the admin
istration of the office up to their standard
the country cannot ask for more. He will
assume the duties Oct. /.

An interesting fact that has been over
looked in connection with the recent ma
tional tragedy is that the highest mountain
IN America bears the name of Mckinley.
The distinction OF being the highest noun
tain on the continent was formerly ac-
corded TO Mount St. Elias. on the border
between Alaska and British Columbia, and
probably on the British side OF the line
That peak is between $1,000 and 1900 feet
high. In the summer of 1893 1t was ascer-
tanned by a party from the United States
geological survey that Mount B%ullshoe, in
Alaska. is over $4,000 feet high. or from Loo
10 1000 feet higher than Mount st. Elias.
and so precipitous that it's ascent is prob
ably impossible. The name Bullshoe was

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
say that the Voice. the organ of the Pro-

vilest New York daily to Islander the char
acter OF Mr.. Mckinley in both public and

ership OF such men as Neal Dow would not
have been guilty Of such indecencies as
that paper perpetrated during the last cam
paign. The fall from Dow to Woolley
covers a long distance.

The looker-on fails to see what there
is in the coming Of Colonel Roosevelt into
the presidency to kindle the hope in the
breasts of place seekers that they have a
better chance now than under Mr.. McKin-
ley. They may be sure that the President
will make no changes simply to give other
men places. He is not that sort OF man.
If any incumbent is inefficient ne will be
got rid of. but if not he will serve out his

Already nearly half Of the money which
Captain Carter, Of the engineer corps Of
the army, obtained of the government by
fraud has been recovered by the u%ntiring
efforts Of the Department of Justice. Such
commendable action presents a contrast TO
the course pursued by a number Of city and
county officials whose duty it is to collect
fines imposed by the courts. Men who
should know declare that thousands Of
dollars of such fines remain unpaid. Weeks
ago the clerk of this city was charged with
neglecting to collect fines. To this charge
he has made no denial. AS the Journal has
before stated. all officers, city and county,
who are thus defeating the ends of justice
should be called to strict account. Law
breaking should not begin with public
officials.

cause it is as exalted and as useful in the
humblest as in the highest. There was
nothing petty or mean in the Mckinley
makeup. When defeated, as he was sew
eral times. he was not sour and revengeful.
The contemplate httleness of many of the
men with whom he came in contact did
not affect his kindly and loving nature. In
the hour of triumph he was the same
simple and. modest man. In this age OF
money-seeking it should be remembered
that the President lived and died a poor
man. So involved was he because he was
not a sharp man in business that he
could not have been a candidate for Presi-
dent if his personal friends had not come
TO his relief. Like Abraham Lincoln, VIII
liam Mckinley owed nothing to wealth, but
all to character and ability. Neither ever
sought wealth, and probably both became
great because they did not make money
getting the main purpose of life. All the
eulogies of the eloquent and all the trib-
utes Of admiration and tears by the mass
of people have been devoted to William
Mckinley the patriotic citizen and the
Christian man. This lesson should lead US
to place character and MANHOOD above
everything else, and to realize that upon
them rests the well-being of humanity.
Hereafter, lest we forget the Importance
Of good citizenship and character, we must
recall the memory Of the past week. Let
us feel that the martyrdom of William
Mckinley will have been in vain if, after a
few days, the Christening sorrow of last
week shall be forgotten and we shall be as
careless regarding the duties of citizenship
as we have been, and are not made by the
terrible event a better people.

has been made necessary by the. evils
which were injuring the citys reputation

it was a mild form of the evils which at

or four years ago. when the confidence
man was SO generally in evidence that
it required the stranger to keep his wits
with him and keep away from strange
associations if he desired to avoid hold
up.
There can be no reasonable doubt that
the acting mayor, Dr. Schiffmann, will
sustain the action of the council The
demand of the business community was
decisive on the subject, and all posi-
bility of compromise was rendered i'm
practicable by the utter disregard shown
by the runners themselves and the
houses which they represented of the
several warnings which they received to
mend their ways. The evil which has
thus been brought to close was sub
ject of steady complaint for a great
number of years; and the frequency of
the appearance of one or other of the
runners in the police court showed that
no temporary measure would be ade-
quate.
Hereafter it is reasonably assured that

journey past St. Paul, or during his tenn
pcrary visit to the city, will be granted
immunity from the offensive importuni-
ties and the questionable purposes of
those men
