Roosevelt on Admiral Sampson.

President Roosevelt is on record as CIV
ing highest honors for the naval victory
at Santiago to Admiral Sampson. In
February, 1899, about seven months after
the battle. on the occasion of the presen-
tation of sword to Capt. Philip of the
Texas. Mr.. Roosevelt, then governor Of
New York, was present and made an adj
dress, from which the following is an
extract:
When a commander-n-chief, afoat or
ashore, has done the best possible with
his forces, then rightly the chief credit
belongs to him, and wise and patriotic
students of the Santiago sea campaign
gladly pay their homage first to Admiral
Sampson. 1t was Admiral Sampson who
initiated and carried on the extraordinary
blockade. letting up even less by night
than by day, that will stand as the eX-
ample for all similar blockades in the
future. 1t was owing to the closeness
and admirable management Of the system
Of night blockades which he introduced
that Cervera's fleet was forced to come
out by daylight. In other words. IL was
the success OF his system which insured
to the splendid sea captains under him
the chance to show their prowess to the
utmost possible advantage. But the
actual fight. although Admiral Sampson
was present and in command, was a cap
tain's fight, and in this actual fighting
each captain did his work according TO his
own best judgment

Running a Cattle Ranch.

Mention must be made of the expense
account. even though II is small, and re-
diculously simple. The average cowboy
is paid SIS per month, and the foreman, IL
there be one. perhaps twice or thrice
that amount. On few of the largest
ranches the foreman receives SlOO per
month. In all instances. board and lodg-
ing are included. on one very fine ranch
the foreman is allowed a salary of $500,
a large house. provisions and free medi-
cal aid This is an exceptional case. but
the responsibility is great, particularly
so, for the owner never visits his prop
erty. Owing to the inaccessibility TO
towns and the excessive cost of trans
portation, from one to three months pro-
visions are bought at one time. The list
includes Mexican beans, oatmeal, bacon,
coffee, -four molasses and, occasionally,
dried fruit and canned tomatoes and corn.
one dollar per week Is large estimate
for the cost of feeding a single person.
other expenses include repairs and minor
improvements. Fencing is an important
problem; new ones must be built at an
average cost of $50 per mile, and old
ones kept in the best OF repair. Personal
expenses differ according to individual
tastes. As a rule, the cowboy dresses
more extensively than his employer. and
owns his own saddle and bedding. Even
So 800 is an average outlay for the year.
As long as land can be obtained at a
nominal sum. and beef continues to be
our most Unitarian diet, despite advanc-
ing prices. so long will cattle-ranching
produce greater returns on less capital
than almost any other industry. Finally,
II the environment of the plains seem
primitive. and there be lacking the social
and intellectual stimulus of the town,
recompense is had in continued good
health, the result of vigorous outdoor
life in the high altitude and equable eli
mate.-[Review of Reviews.

Thirteen Living EN-GoVernors.
ISt. Adams Messenger. 1

Says the Boston Herald: THE seven ex-
governors of Rhode Island who served as
honorary pall-bearers at the funeral of
Governor Gregory furnished a good deal
of cumulative evidence as to the longev-
of the ex-governors in that state"
Vermont can beat that record. She has
10 living eX-governors, viz: Frederick
Holbrook of Brattleboro, 1S61-6S; George
w. Hendee of Morristown, 1870; John w.
Stewart of Middlebury, 1S7O-72; Redheld
Proctor of Proctor, 1S7S-SO; Roswell Farm
ham of Bradford, 1SSO-S2; John L. Bar
stow of Shelburne, 1Ss2-S4; Samuel E.
Pingree of Hartford, 1SS4-S6; Ebenezer j.
Ormsbee of Brandon, 1SS6-SS; William p.
Dillingham; of Waterbury, 1SSS-9O; Carroll
S. Page of Hyde Park, 1S9O-92; Urban A.
Woodbury. of Burlington, 1S94-96; Josiah
Grout of Derby, 1S96-9S; and Edward C.
Smith of st. Adams, 1S9S-19O0. With one
exception, the death of Levi X. Fuller, of
Brattleboro, who was governor in 1924,
the line of living ex-governors is un-
broken back to and including Redheld
Proctor, 1878.

Ii Hung Changes Ethical Standards.

Ii Hung Chang was widely known as
champion of progress. He was, however,
a friend of the foreigner only in a limited
sense His advice to his own people is
said to have been, Let us use the for
eigners, but do not let them use US" He
was the founder of the navy, and of
establishments for naval and military
training; the promoter of the merchant
marine, the opener of the coal mines, the
friend of railway enterprise, the builder
of hospitals. patron of medical missions,
and a tolerator of missions in general
He believed in foreign machinery, foreign
education, and many foreign methods
but would have been glad to have them
without the foreigner. Yet use the for
eigner he did, and was perfectly willing
to be double-faced, or even ten-faced, If
he could thereby increase his own wealth
and influence or secure a victory for
Chinese diplomacy where Chinese naval
and military power were helpless. He
was the supporter of the Empress Dow
ager rather than of the Emperor Kuang
Hsu. In spite of his knowledge of Rus
sia's Unsuitable appetite for territory, he
has felt that China and Ii Hung Chang
would save more from the wreck with
Russia as a friend than as a foe. That
he was not above brides even his best
friends would not affirm. His great
wealth was not all earned by the sweat
of his brow, nor by judicious investment
of capital. Judged by the standards of a
Christian morality, Ii Hung Chang was
not a conspicuous model Judged by the
standard of Confucianism, he will be
found wanting. But judged by the stand
ard of modern Chinese life and states
manship, he was a great man and a
patriot.-[Review of Reviews.

The Man With the Hoe.


Edwin Markham's much discussed poem,
written after seeing Millets painting,
The Angelus."l
Bowed by the weight of centuries, he
leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness OF ages in his face
And on his back the burden of the world
Who made him dead to rapture and des-
pair
A thing that grieves not and that never
hopes
Stolld and stunned, a brother to the OK?
Who loosened and let down this brutal
jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back
this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within
this brain?
Is this the thing the Lord God made and
gave
To have dominion over sea and land,
TO trace the stars and search the heavens
for power,
10 feel the passion of Eternity,
Is this the Dream He dreamed who
shaped the suns
And pillared the blue armament with
light?
Down all the stretch of hell, to its last
gulf,
There Is no shape more terrible than
this
More tongued with censure of the world S
blind greed
More filled with signs and portents for
the soul
More fraught with menace to the uni
verse.
What CULTS between him and the sera-
phim
Slave to the wheel of labor. what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks of
song?
The rift of dawn, the reddenlng of the
rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering
ages look
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop.
Through this dread shape humanity, be-
trayed,
Plundered, profaned and disinherited
Cries protest to the Judges of the World,
A protest that is also prophecy.
o masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handwork you give to God
This monstrous thing, distorted and soul
quenched?
How will you ever straighten up this
shape
Give back the upward looking and the
Light
Rebuild in 1t the music and the dream,
Touch 1t again with Immortality
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perfdious wrongs. immedicable woes?
o masters. lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the Future reckon with this
Man?
How answer his brute question in that
hour
When whlrlwinds of rebellion shake the
world?
How will it be with Kingdoms and with
kings
With those who shaped him to the thing
he is
God.
After the silence Of the centuries?

Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lot,
Of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
Ct Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

NEWS IN BRIEF.
GEN. MILES REPRIMANDED.
Finding Of the Court of Inquiry APP

torian Moclay's Resignation De-

torian Moclay's Resignation De-
manded.
President Roosevelt, through Secretary
Root administered a severe reprimand
Saturday to Lieutenant General Miles for
his comment on the verdict of the Schley
court of inquiry The letter of reprimand
says, i'm part: You had no business in
the controversy, and no right, holding the
office which you did, to express any
opinion" General Miles was shown in
very pointed terms that his conduct was
contrary to army regulations.
Secretary Long disposed finally of the
Schey case so far as the navy depart
ment is concerned, by acting on the find
ings and conclusions of the court. He
approved the findings of fact and the
opinion of the fIll court, approved the
majority opinion where there was a diff
ference i'm the court, held that the court
could not have entered into a COnsidera-
ton of the question of command at the
battle of Santiago, accepted the recon-
mendation that no further proceedings
be had. and dissolved the court He also
refused the application of Admiral Samp-
sons counsel to inquire into the question
of command, and informed Admiral
Schley's counsel of that fact
The secretary also called for the resig-
nation of Edgar S. Maclay, whose attack
on Admiral Schley in his History of the
Navy" was the direct cause of the court
of inquiry
A Washington despatch says that grave
complications, which may involve the
United States may result from the naval
demonstration Germany proposes to make
in Venezuelan waters, to enforce the pay

against the republic. The United States

Ragged Currency
For Redemption at the
National Treasury

banks. the amounts turned in for re-
demption are expected to run several
thousand dollars above the daily aver
age
The amount of money the banks
turned in, however, does not represent
the difference between the kind of
money the inaugural visitors had, and
that which ordinarily circulates in
Washington. The most striking con-
trast was in the condition of the money
offered for redemption. The banks in
Washington turn in money as soon as
1t begins to show signs of soil or wear.
Such a thing as money in circulation
that is worn to be little more than dirty
rags, torn apart and pinned or pasted
together, is almost unknown
They have had a lot Of this kind to
turn in. however, since March 4. The
rule of the treasury is that if more
than three-hfths of a bill is presented,
it win be redeemed for its full amount.
If less than three-hfths, and more than
two-fifths is offered, it is redeemed for
half the face value. Less than two
fifths viii not be redeemed. Some of
the money turned in recently had a
hard time spreading itself out to cover
three-ffths of its original surface.

a conservative estimate that not less
than S150,0O0 in soiled and ragged bills

by the inaugural visitors. Most of this
money will eventually find its way to
the treasury for redemption. Already
third OF the amount estimated has
come in, receipts from the Washington
banks for Inauguration week being $50
600 above the normal.
The city banks on an average the
year round, turn in SIS 600 each day for
redemption For some reason, which
neither the bankers nor treasury Of
f1cials attempt to explain, on Tuesday
following the Inauguration the amount
dropped 10 $4,000. Wednesdays dep6S-
its were still $1,000 below the average,

houses mere are recognized as highly
expert. Only two counterfeit bills have
been turned in since Inauguration week
by washington banks, and this is an
unusually large number for a single
week. The redemption officials at the
treasury say that no other city sends
in so small a percentage of counter
feits.
The clerks who count the redemption
money are always glad when the re-
to their lot. There are two reasons fer
this. In.the first place, the money IS
cleaner and less disagreeable to handle.
and, secondly, they 90 not have to
watch so carefully for cOunterfeits
After the money is counted by the
receiving clerks and tied up in bundles
the bundles are cut in two and the
halves are counted for verification. r.
in this counting, a counterfeit bill is
discovered. The clerk who originally
counted the package of bills has to
stand the loss. Country banks are most
apt to receive counterfeit money, and
when a package of bills comes in from
one of these banks for redemption, the
clerk who draws it scans each bill with
the closest scrutiny
Money from the Tar west is also
dreaded by the counting clerk because.
chiefly on account of the expense of
transportation, it is allowed to remain
in circulation until the bills are almost
ready to fall to pieces and their condi-
ton is Invariably filthy.
In addition to the sOiled bills, the in
auguraI visitors also brought with them
a large amount Of silver money. Silver
dollars are ordinarily scarce in Wash
