SECRETARY LoYG has decided to retire
May /, and the President has nominated
Representative Moody, of Massachusetts,,
as his successor. But little is known
about the new Secretary, though he has
been 4 member OF four Congresses. He
is n lawyer, 49 years of age, 7 graduate
OF Harvard, and owes his selection to the
support of Senator Lodge. Representative
Foss, of Illinois, Chairman or the Naval
Committee, was a vigorous competitor for
the place.

THE Beers have made another aston

four guns and 200 men, and killing and
wounding 119 more. The lord is no great
loss. As Lincoln once said, he could
make another Brigadier General il

the mules. The lords have been the bane
of the British army, and the more Of them
the Beers capture the better off the army

THE greatest astonishment, in reading
Prince Henry's speeches at various points
in the country, is the gentleman's ability
to say nothing gracefully. OF course, this
is a high accomplishment, and one in
which Princes are carefully drilled, but
still it is surprise that in such a num-
Der of speeches, made under such varying
circumstances, the Prince should not have
slipped sometime into saying something
that meant something.

EX-MINIsTER OF JUSTICE MILLS, of
Canada, thinks that if Canada should
break loose and set up for herself, Maine,
and perhaps the rest of the New England
States, would cast her lot with her. The
gentleman seems not to have read any
history since 1872.

CANADA, which does not contribute 4
cent toward the revenues of the British
Empire, is in a state of constant irrita-
ton, because England will not threaten
war with us TO give her a monopoly of
the cod fisheries and land in Alaska to
which she has no right. Canada is the
little fee that runs out in the road and
barks, and tries to involve the big dogs
in q fight.

THE House has favorably considered
bill to place Gen. Aquila Wiley, late
Colonel of the 41st Ohio, on the pension
roll at $12 month. There is no soldier
in the country more deserving of this than
Gen. Wiley. His service was long, bril-
liant and substantial, and he is now so
broken by it that there should be no ques-
ton of granting the amount to him.

WITHOUT exception, the South Carolina
papers condemn both Senators, but Till
man much worse than McLaurin. They
find that Tillman was wrong from the be-
ginning, and every step placed him much
worse. They cannot understand how he
should of late show such sensitiveness to
being called liar, because that has been
common practice in the State ever since
he entered politics, and has repeatedly oc-
CURED in the most public manner, to his
face in every town in South Carolina. His
apology to the Senate was slander on
South Carolina, and he lost a great point
in not playing to the grOundlings that he
really did not want to sit at a table where a
''nigger" had recently sat, and at which
little Dutchman' was to be guest The
other Southern papers talk about the same
way, and many of them insist that both
Senators, and certainly Tillman, should
have been expelled.
The National tribune., 1902-03-13

THE snob-clique in the navy still gets
in its dire work. Gunner Joseph Hill, for
merly of the Maine, has passed very cred
itably the moral, mental and physical ex-
aminations for promotion to a commission
under the act of Congress to encourage
the promotion of enlisted men, but has
been denied a commission, because he
''lacks the necessary professional qualifi-
cations" Rigid explanation should be re-
quired of this notification of a most wise
and salutary law. Who is it that is TAX
ing upon themselves to defeat the will of
Congress? If we are to have the best
kind of a navy we must offer inducements
to the best kind of young men to enlist.
The best kind of an inducement is the
possibility OF a commission to all those
who shall make themselves worthy of it.
This is not only good policy, but it is
true Americanism. Is a little clique of
snobbish aristocrats in the Navy Depart
ment to be allowed to nullify the desire
of the people and the act of Con-
gress? Evans's constant contempt for laws
passed by Congress seems to embolden
underlings in other Departments.

THE PENSION BUREAUS CRUELTY.

Representative Bell, of Colorado. vigor-
| ously arraigned the Pension Bureaus
cruel requirements in the case of Della
Il. Slocum, widow of Aaron G. Slocum.
late First Lieutenant, Co. Z, 115th \. Y.
Mr.. Bell said:
Without detaining the House at all.
the report of the Committee on Invalid
Pensions shows that the pension in this
case ought to have been granted in 1881.
1t shows that this man died from wounds.
and therefore the applicant would have
been entitled TO SIT from 1881 up to the
present time. 1t is proposed to give SIT
a month from this time on to this widow,
who is now 20 years old, who swears she
has not a particle of property on earth.
The committee want to cut her down
TO SIT. In correspondence with her friends
she stated that she could get along COM
fortably on $50. l introduced the bill for
SO. They have placed the amount at
SIT. because that is what she would get
If she got pension at this time. / say
that upon the showing of the committee
itself the Department ought to have grant
ed her q pension in 1881 which would
have amounted by this time to about
5000. and that she has not got. Now,
say she ought not TO be cut below $50.
Il want to say in this case this soldier
served through the entire war. He was
Lieutenant. The proof shows that he died
from that wound. The proof was so clear
that if the man who shot him could have
been tried for murder he would have been
convicted of murder in the case The De-
partment, or some law officer of the De
partment, after the proof was beyond
question, held up the pension because he
did not have n hospital record, and be-
cause he could not explain the reason why
some vital statistical board over in New
York said that he died from chronic diar
rhea and from dropsy, the very things that
would occur from the wound.
1.-The man died from a gunshot wound.
10 or u years ago, and we tried to get
his wife a pension. / saS- the proof is be
yOnd question. The board that examined
Capt. Slocum the first time showed that
he had a wound near his spine at that
time. The Captain that was in the ranks
with him swears that he was present when
he was shot, that he relieved him from
time to time because of the wound; but
he was young and vigorous and never
went to hospital to be treated. The
Board of Examiners declared they found
the wound there; the man that attended
him before his death declared that he died
from the wound. l say $50, considering
the conditions in this case, is mere pal
try sum. The widow has lost, according
to this report, nearly $1,000; she is now
about 20 years old, and hope this House
will vote that she may have for the re-
mainder of her days the paltry sum of
500"
In response to questions by other men,
bers, Mr.. Bell said that he had carefully
examined all the papers in the case, and
investigated the facts for himself. He ap-
pealed to the Commissioner, but was in
formed that while the proof was sufficient
the claim could not be allowed, because TO
do so would be to overrule a former Com
missioner.

A Losing Advancement.

from Inc New YORK Times
Farmer Goodman suffered repeated losses
from his hog yard. and, after good deal
of patient watching, discovered that his
neighbor Mr.. Nabber, was the thief
Being an exceedingly good-n tured man,
Mr.. Goodman called on his neighbor and
said to him: "Neighbor Nabber, have pos
tive proof that you have been-er-um-
well. rather careless In relation to my hogs.
My losses in consequence have been much
greater than l can afford. 1 would like to
make compromise with you. and not COM
promise you by going to law. I'll give you
5o0 pounds of pork every year If you will
pledge me not to-er-that is-not to be
guilty of any further contributory negli-
gence In connection with my hog yard"
But Nabber declined to make any ami
cable arrangements; in fact. he pretended
to be offended by Mr.. Goodman's allega-
lions. Conditions soon became even worse.
and good Mr.. Goodman was driven to a he
roic measure. He had his neighbor, Mr..
Nabber, indicted for hog stealing.
On the witness stand he told all about his
offer of compromise, and said: Il am will
ing to renew it right now. If the judge will
give his consent to the arrangement, and
the prisoner will agree not to modest my
pork every year, and let this Ease be dis
missed"
We'll, prisoner what have you to say to
that?' asked the Judge.
After some moments of reflection, with
eyes fioorward, the prisoner raised his head
and made reply:

stances: but I'm satisfied / shall lose a

HIGH PRICES PREVAIL.
Dealers Quote Poultry at Fancy
Figures.

Turkeys are out of sight" remarked a
local poultry dealer to Star reporter this
morning. 'The market is higher than 1t has
been at the Thanksgiving season for a
number of years"
Dealers say that the fowls are high for
the double reason that they are scarce,
and the weather conditions are such that
country people are afraid to kill them in
any great numbers. Nearby poultry rails
ers Will supply large part of the demand
this season, as they are able to get their
stock to market in good condition.
II Is stated that people in Virginia who
raise poultry have nothing like the number
OF turkeys this year that they usually
nave. Several weeks ago shippers from
new YORK and Philadelphia were in tho
neighborhing states purchasing fowls, and
they paid fairly good prices for all the tur-
keys they could get Drawn fowls brought
IL and 70 cents this morning. while those
dressed but not drawn sold for Is and 16
cents. The dealers expect an additional
supply of fowls tonight and tomorrow, but
they do not expect them In quantities suff1-
cient to reduce the price
The meat market was about the same this
morning as 1t has been for a week or more,
except that there was a slight advance In
the price of pork. Beef, the dealers say,
Is cheaper than it has been since January,
when the big increase in price was an
nounceo- Choice porterhouse steaks are
selling at 70 cents, while rib roasts are
bringing from 12hs to Is cents a pound In
some instances dealersoare2 selling at prices
