WHO THEY ARE.

OF one lieutenant-general, six major
generals of the line and one major gene
raj of the staff in the U. s.. army, none
are West Pointers. Of l5 brigadler-
generals of the line, four IRE West Point
ers, and of 10 bngadier-generals of the
staff only three area graduates Of that
school.
However, this does not necessarily
prove that the West Point school is
valueless, but does prove that soldiers
are not necessarily the product of mill.
tary schooling.
The fact is that almost all of our pres
ent genetal officers are the products OF
the civil war, supplemented by the Cuban
and Philippine wars. In the civil war
the natural proportion of West Pointers
to the whole number of officers engaged
was relatively small, and was made much
smaller than it would otherwise have
been by the fact that SO many of them
preferred the cause Of the south. Most of
the higher officers of the army are, as
participants of the civil war, so old that a
few more years will see most of them re-
tired by the age limit, and then the
Younger officers, who are now more
largely West Pointers, will come to the
front.

years is going to Kansas City to take
charge of the Company's business there.
Mr.. crenshaw, as the representative of

manner both peaceful and serene, while
as business man in his office and with
his immense force of local agents he has

expect to hear Of his going still higher in
the future, and he has our best wishes to
that effect.

COURT AT CAVALIER.

Here's a suggestion: Under the new
law recently passed by the legislature
blotting out any fixed place for holding
district court chambers in the seventh
district, Judge Kneeshaw can hold court
wherever he chooses, and we understand
he wants to accommodate the people.
Why not then hereafter hold the district
court of Pembina county in Cavalier, the
center town of the county, and thus make
the same equally accessible by people
from all parts of the country? Hotel and
other accommodation in Cavalier would
be found the best in the county.-C Cava-
lier Chronicle.
The above is erroneous in that it con-
founds district court chambers and regu-
lar terms of the district court. The lat
ter are specifically appointed by statute
in all the Judicial districts of the state
both as to times and places, and the
place is always the county seat.
Up to last winter the law was silent as
to the holding of "chambers' in all the
judicial districts except this Seventh
District-leaving the matter of holding
chambers entirely to the discretion of the
Judge both as to time and place. In this
district, however, the law specified that
the judge must hold chambers at Penn
bina on the first Monday of each month
and at Langdon one day in September
and one day in December, and ''at all
other times at Grafton
The only change made in the law last
winter was to repeal this restriction in
holding chambers, and leaves the judge
of the seventh district free to hold cham
bers when and where he chooses, like
the judges Of other districts-but the
regular terms of district court remain
fixed by law the same as before.
Still, except for jury cases there ism,
SO much difference between terms and
chambers after all-and we haven't the
least doubt his honor, Judge Kneeshaw,
will give Cavalier a little one to play
with, any time court business seems tc
demand it, same as he did St. Thomas
last week.

MAYOR LH1sTIKow AND PRO.
HIBTTTON

Mayor Leistikow, of Grafton, in his
inaugural address makes some state.
ments in reference to the prohibition
question that have been largely quoted,
which in effect are, while he intends to
enforce the law, that prohibition has not
curtailed the consumption of Intoxicating
liquor in this state.
Mayor Leistikow is a bright, intelligent
man and he gives this statement out as
the result of his observations.
Now we don't know whether Mr..
Leistikow is teetotaler or not, but we
would like to ask him this direct ques-
ton: Since the prohibition law has been
in force in this state, do you, personally,
drink more or less than when we had
open licensed saloons?
If teetotaler we presume not. though
there are some people who do argue
that way.
But, if a drinker before or a. drinker
now, does the closing of the saloon make
any difference to you in the Quantity
drank and, incidentally, the quantity
purchased1
Will Mayor Leistikow, who is an
honorable and candid man, pursue his
observations to the extent Of asking each
OF the next fifty or one hundred men he
meets, whom he thinks to have been
moderate drinkers before prohibition, the
same questions
We have done considerable investigat-
ing on this line, and our observations are
exactly opposite to the conclusions Of
Mayor Leistikow. We have asked the
questions quoted Of large number Of;
people and never have had but one
answer.
The moderate drinker rarely cares to
go to the blind pig at all and if he does
80, goes seldom and remains but a short
time. : Treating" as social custom is
almost unknown in the blind pig, and in
consequence the drunkard without cash
necessarily goes dry. II is true some
people keep liquor and beer Ia their eel
lars, but we will guarantee that COM
paratively tew moderate and habitual
drinkers make q constant practice Of even
this and at home tie drink IS usually
taken solus. and thus the treating habit
eliminated at any rate, and to- this habit
Mayor Leistikow lays most Of blame !
for excessive. drinking.

IRON IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by arfacid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
fiammation little Pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssured. Eczema in any
form is tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out, and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for al
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

Tic odttiCs
Pittsburg, Sept. 9.-If the plaNs OF
President Shaffer were for the execu-
tive board to go to New York and
confer with President Schwab, of the
United States Steel Corporation, to-
day, those plans were abandoned. 1t
is intimated by those in close touch
with the executive board that they had
plainly told Mr.. Shaffer that settle
ment of the strike was imperative, and
that he had better put himself into
communication with President Schwab
and have a plain understanding at
once In other words, the executive
board of the Amalgamated Association
were pushing the leader for settle
ment and to end the battle. 1t was said
also in a semi-official way that posi-
bly, President Shaffer was communicate
ing with President Schwab personally
yesterday. 1t was believed that he had
either gone to Mr.. Schwab's summer
home in Loretto or else was meeting
him in New York Leaders are max
ing strenuous efforts to hold the men
in line with the hope that some means
of a settlement will come in few
days at the furthest If 1T fails the
men, it is believed, will break away
and return to work as individuals. That
would be worse than the terms that
have been thus far offered by the
corporation. At the same time the de-
lay that has occurred. and is still
going on, under the terms offered is
telling more severely than ever against
the strikers and their organization.
