The New Generals.

The sen ate has confirmed the entire
list of sixteen promotions in the army
made by President Mckinley under the
new army reorganization law. The ap-
pointments have caused less criticism
than might have been expected consd-
ering the great howl that has been
raised against all legislation that tended
toward increasing the efficiency OF the
army. The only oppositionin the senate
was against the confirmation of Wood,
Grant and Bell as Brigadier Generals.
At the beginning of the Spanish Amer-
can War, Bell was captain in the regu-
lar service, and Fred D. Grant, although
he was West Point graduate, was not
connected with the army. During the
war he held a commission as brigadier
general OF volunteers, and in this capac-
ity has rendered distinguished services in
the Philippines. His appointment how
ever may be regarded as being practi
cally from civil life. The promotion of
Gen, Leonard Wood is the most conspic.
uous example of reward for valuable
services. At the beginning of the war he
was an assistant surgeon with the rank
OF captain. He was appointed to thu
command of the famous Rough Ride
regiment which Roosevelt organized, anC
shortly afterwards was made a briga
dier general and later major general O
volunteers and governor general O
Cuba. In this position he has displaye,
wonderful tact and administrative abil
ity. In the natural course of promotio,
General Wood will be Lieutenant Genera
commanding the United States army 70
period of about Is years.

a storm OF protest from the religious
press. DR.. Smith, for the American
Board has replied to the charge, defend
ing Mr.. Ament and calling upon Mark
Twain to give the man chance to state
his side of the case. The humorist re-
plies by intimating that he got his facts
from Mr.. Ament and that he knew
whereof he spoke.
1t is quite likely that Mark Twain car.
ried the joke too far as he did, for in
stance, in his letters to Paul Bourget
few years ago. The American M ssion-
arv NAV not be siuless, but he does not
deserve the flashing Mark Twain gives
him. But as a whole, leaving out the
Ament episode, there is a good deal OF
food for thought in the article. We hope
that Chamberlain and Emperor William
will read it and we know OF some Ameri-
cans who ought to be more familiar with
it. We have never regretted that the
stars and stripes foated in the West In
dies and the Orient, but when history is
written there will be some features OF
this expansive policy that will be a blot
in the scutcheon. And the man who
Jokes is writing history.

A Billion Dollar Trust.

All the consultations of railroads, fac
tories and associate industries Of the
past few years appear insignificant beside
J. Pierpont Morgan's billion dollar steel
trust, which is consolidation of all the
iron and steel trusts in the country. The
last concern to give in was the Carnegie
Company, but Andrew Carnegie gets a
check of $25 100000 as starter and
will get abont $1OO,O0O,O0O more in
bonds before the transaction is compile
ted. In the big trust are the American
Steel & Wire Co., the Federal Steel Com
pany, the American Bridge Company
and the National Tube Company. All
these concerns are great trusts in them
Selves the Federal Steel Company hav.
ing 5000, 900 900 capital. Mr.. Morgan
is now the greatest hnancier in the
world, and the English insurance com.
panes have recently written $20,000,-
900 worth of insurance upon some
friends OF Mr. Morgan who are carrying
American stocks which heis booming, all
payable in the event OF his death.
AS one paper says the human mind
cannot conceive the significance of a
billion dollars. Ofcourse such a gigan.
tic consolidation has called forth protest
and MIR. Morgan may not find his path
strewn with roses. Congressman Fitz.
gerald has introduced a resolution into
congress to direct the Encouragement
to turn all the legal machinery against
it, and the Industrial Commission has
announced that it will start an investi-
cation and summon to the hearings,
Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Carnegie and the other
multi-mllionaire capitalists who have
financed the deal. In the meantime the
laboring man looks on somewhat APPROX
ingly at such transactions believing that
the trust will either be crushed by its
own weight or that continued consolida-
lions will at last lead to government
control.

Public Laws in the Philippines.

The editor OF Il he CALIFORNIAN has receiv.
ed both from Commissioners Ide and Wor-
cester the first volume Of laws issued by
the Philippine commission. The book
covers the quarter ending Nov. 80 and
the laws are published both in English
and Spanish. Our readers will be es.
pecialy interested in Judge Ide's part in
the important work and he has formu-
lated and introduced "a of the SO laws
enacted. In addition to this he has in.
PRODUCED several resolutions, had the
general supervision of all the appropria-
ton bills, made numerous and impor-
tant reports to the President and Secre-
tary of War and has prepared the code
of civil procedure, which will revolution
ize all the legal proceedings on the is
lands and place the legal methods on a
uniform business basis. Among the
more important acts introduced by
Judge Ide are all relating to the proceed
ure OF the commission, an act appropri
ating million dollars for improving the
port of Manila, an act providing for the
examination of all banking institutions
and number of acts relating to the es
Establishment OF courts in various parts o
the islands.
The American for Jan. 8, gives in full
the decision OF the commission. prepared
by Judge Ide, Of the removal from tn
bench Of a native judge Tor misconduc
in Office. This is a lengthy report ant
gives in detail the evidence against tn
judge and the causes of his removal.
A perusal OF the book shows tina
Judge Ide has introduced some Of tn
most important bills now in force an
only confirms the belief which was he'll
by his Vermont friends that he woul
become one Of the strongest men on tn
notable commission.

The secret is out and IAN Englshwo-
mans Love Letters" were never written
to her lover nor even written by wo-
man. The whole book was a clever
literary ruse of an English artist and
author, Laurence Housman, whose book
Jump to Glory Jane" won him more
than passing fame a few years ago,
How ridiculous the opinions of the critics
now read and how easily we can be hum
plugged. The publishers on both sides of
the water have made big money from the
sale of the book; sixty authors have
been accused of writing the letters and
men and women have gone into ecstacies
Specializing on the wealth of passion"
and 'lovable character" of the author.
One pities the author now that he is
known; one pities the critics for their
foolish sentimentality, but most of all
we pity the readers who were so easily
entrapped and allowed their feelings to
be so played upon by literary fake.

brated his 10th birthday. At the tint
of his birth they were only a few los
houses near the mouth of the Chicago
River. He witnessed the building OF the
first frame house in Chicago, the growth
of the manufacturing, business and resi-
dence districts, and children of the Pom

time represented John Jacob Astor's fur
company, and their home was always
crowded with the pelts of different ami
mails received from the Indians in trade.

President of the Senate that body will

General Bate, of Tennessee, is the only
Senator who saw service during the
Mexican War, for though Senator Pet

that period he never got to the front.
There are twenty or more senators who

Civil War, but Mr.. Roosevelt will be the

senator HOar's Vote.
Senator Hoar made up his mind that
he was in duty bound to take the jour
ney from Washington to Worcester IN
order to cast his ballot at the Mayorallty
election in the Massachusetts city which
holds his family ties and traditions, ana
which is always eager to honor him. AT
the municipal election in Worcester sew.
eral months ago the vote for the head OF
the local government was tie. ms
was singular outcome OF a political
campaign. If there had been a dead
heat between two candidates with an
insignificant total Of electors in some
small community the result would not
have been so astonishing. But each OF
the two men who came to a deadlock
when the returns were gone over was
found to have had more than eight
thousand supporters at the polls. Daniel
Webster in his reply to Hayne asked the
world to look at Massachusetts. If the
world has few minutes of unoccupied
time it might do worse than to glance at
the Mayoralty election in Worcester.
This is not the first instance of close
call at the ballot box in the old Bay
State. Long before the Civil War Mar
Gus Morton was elected Governor by a
plurality of single vote. Many hard
fought battle has been won or lost at the
polls between Cape Cod and the Yer
mont border, and again and again the
victory has been gained by a narrow
margin. Senator Hoar in his old age
sets fine example of devotion to civic
duty in travelling from the National
capital in winter to stand by the right in

The death of Maurice Thompson at his
home in Charlottesville, Ind, last Fri
day removes from literary fields man
of marked and varied genius. His latest
book, "Alice of Old Vincennes," has
been one of the most successful books of
the year, though he was known to fame
long before this book was published.
His frs, book, THE Witchery of Arch
ery," did much to revive that ancient
sport and he was fond of outdoor life
and wrote many essays and poems on
nature, animals and birds.
