tablishment will go to the bow-wows.
The inference is that no one save
graduate of the national academy is
worthy of commissioned rank in the
United States navy.
Why should such a preposterous
pretense be allowed to hamper the
progress of the navy? Why should
the naval establishment of a republic
be turned into a nursery for a Brah-
min class-the only restricted aris-
tocracy in this country?
The present head of the army is
not a West Pointer. Hardly one
fourth of the officers of the rank oil
colonel and above it are graduates
of the national military academy. 1t
is admitted without question that
man may be good military officer,
though he has not passed through
West Point Yet the naval clique
which controls the navy department
has been able to enforce upon the
country for years the proposition
that no man is fit to bear commits
sion in the United States navy unless
he has graduated from the academy
at Annapolis.
The grudging and insignificant con-
cessiOn through which six warrant
officers are yearly allowed to make
application for commissioned rank,
amounts to nothing. Even if man
is thoroughly competent profession
ally, it will be urged against him as
it was urged against Gunner Morgan,
that he lacks social qualifications"
There is no excuse for such a con-
dition of affairs. Annapolis is no
more sacred than West Point. The
president should have the authority,
and he should exercise that author
ity, to appoint from civil life officers
of the merchant marine who are COM
petent professionally. The social
qualifications should cut no figure
whatever. Moreover, warrant officers
and enlisted men should be eligible to
commissions, just as non-eommis-
stoned officers and privates in the
army are eligible to shoulder straps.
In other words, says the Chicago
Chronicle, the notion that Annapolis
graduates alone are competent to of
ficer American warships should be
thoroughly exploded. 1t is a snob-
bish pretense that has held sway al.
together too long.

WHAT CONGRESS IS DOING.
Clear Lake Mans Criticism of Law
makers.

makers.
! To The Salt Lake Herald:
It appears that congress is very busy.
but the question is, What about? It
would seem 20 man up a three that
their principal business is to hold some
millionaires' hands into the treasury.
I The ship subsidy bill would seem to
have the same weight upon the labor
ing people of this country as a sand
bag would have on mans head. The
enormity Of the biz is the first thing to
be noticed, but the tail to il is the
price paid for the freight they carry
for the government, being enough on
every trip 10 China or the Philippines
TO build a new ship for the company.
If our congress had brains enough to
keep our soldiers at home in place of
sending them to be murdered by half
grown negroes, whose only Offeuse
against the United States Is that they
want to stay at home and make their
own living and mind their own BUSH
ness, the money that we are spend
ing on this war with the Philippines
would have built the best mercantile
craft known in the world, but it Is
necessary to keep up this war in order
that some OF our government pets may
get good salaries no matter if a few
thousand Of our men have to be muir
dered to get it. We are, lost Of us,
sons or gTandsOns Of John Bull, and
hence must follow in his tracks. We
are said TO have no king, but 1t looks
to that fellow up a tree as though
two or three men run this nation and
they are not satisfied with the salary
that their pets get and seem to have
bill before congress to raise the salary
Of all the officials of nigh standing,
constituents. No effort is made to re-
dIce the war tax on our present high
duties on everything that the common
people have to use. AS an illustration,
the bill that has passed the senate
with regard to the Cuba sugar tax,
has neither justice nor common sense
in il. 1t does not benefit the planter
nor the man who does the work in the
least. 1t gives a little more money to
the government of Cuba. perhaps, for
the officials to spend, and they viii,
perhaps. spend il as they have been
in the habit Of spending much of the
money they have had. The main point
in it seems to be crush the planter and
the laborer, and IL there is any adj
vantage in it anywhere TO Cuba it's
to the benefit of the politician.
I suppose politicians think no mat
ter how much money they may pass
out TO the millionaires that they viii
subscribe enough at the next election
TO buy their way in as they have at the
two last elections, but the people who
pay these taxes are learning something
and perhaps won't be bought as cheap
as they have been.
The great cry has been, IL you let
in Cuba sugar it would reduce the
price of it so that beet sugar men
could not carry on their business, but
there are three-fourths Of the people Of
the United States that il would be an
advantage to, to have sugar cheaper
instead Of higher. So with every other
product of the country, the working
people have it all to pay.

from Binghamton is authority for the

inventor Of the very latest thing in the

a whisky pin. 1t is not a pill for the
cure Of the drunkard while he sleeps,
OF at any other time. On the contrary,
it is designed TO allow gentlemen to
carry drinks in their vest pockets and
swallow them whenever the spirit
moves.

compression" says Mr. Obendaugh,
the finest brands Of whisky can be
compressed and carried ike pills. The
discovery viii prove "a startling one
to the distilIers, and a puzzling one to
United states revenue officials. who are
called upon to stamp the product Of

cured by obtaining the component
parts Of alcohol. The pellets can be dis
solved in the mouth, leaving all the
taste and effect of liquor"

century take Dust head" pills as the
gentlemen Of the eighteenth took snuff ?
Are we TO have ornamented and orna-
mental pellet boxes instead of the

some respects the pellet idea is a dis

But the scheme has its manifOld dis
advantages. also. To the really devoted
topper there is something fascinating
about the gentle gurgle which accom-
panies the act of pouring whisky out
of q bottle. The nice detail of dis
tinguishing between a d ok and Bath
is attractive to many bes 'des the bar
tender, ana the user OF pellets may not
always find it convenient to secure

in drinking. when one is surrounded by
friends and cut glass and shiny mir

that kind Of thing.
That feature would be entirely lost
