General Tiles sad Discovery.

Of course General Miles found fault with something in the Philippines, and of course his grievance related chiefly to dress. We are informed by the dis patches that the general has been compelled to call attention in general orders to the sad situation. and he
 scores the men and officers indiscrim- tnately for carelessness in the observ- ance of regulations and standing orders in respect to dress, courtesies and dis cipline." This is distressing. The Philippines are in the tropics and dress is a secondary consideration in the er- fort to be comfortable. But of course the commanding general is correct. If the facts could be established, we do not doubt that they would show d. regrettable carelessness for dress throughout the Philippines. The sol- diers probably go in their shirt-sleeves, and some of the officers wear coats un- buttoned. We have never taken the trouble to ascertain the facts from General Funston, but we should guess IIldI uuTlnS ms celebrated nike in quest of Aguinaldo, he left his dress suit in Manila.
 This is not the first time that General Miles has had occasion to be offended by the carelessness of the officers and men as to their appearance when in the field. It is q fact that when Lawton was chasing Geronimo through Ari- zona, the brave officer and his soldiers were obliged to do without soap and bathing towels and barbers, and at the end of the campaign not one of them was fit for a ballroom. The couriers from Lawton who reported to Genera: Miles from time to time in his Pullman car at Tucson, Bowie, and other points. often appeared with Undiscovered uni forms and muddy boots, and with whis- kers like a pirates.
 We do not wonder that the com manding general has determined to return to the United States by way of Berlin and Paris. Such trip will at least enable him to forget the horrid | officers and enlisted men who were so shockingly careless as to pass betweer
 the wind and his nobility.

Exceedingly Interesting.

In a gushing article in the current number of the Century magazine Henry Loomis Nelson. writing of the United States Steel corporation, prac- tically admits that this great company was formed to prevent Carnegie from building road to parallel the Penn sylvania and to head him off from put ting up a better and more up-to-date tube mill than the country had. This is exceedingly interesting. It puts Mr. Carnegie in somewhat peculiar light
 and it raises the inquiry how much progress is involved in preventing the construction of better mills The Steel trust is great and even wonderful eX- pertinent, and it may prove a steadying and conservative factor in commercial affairs. but we have to admit that some of the arguments of its advocates a.c at least amusing.-Hartford Cou-ant

CURRENT COMMENT

Submarine Warshirs.

While other naval nations. especially sIvely in submarine boats, the United States has been decidely conservative in it's attitude toward these new en- zines of sea warfare. There has been else the navy department for leaving the country so ill-provided with sub marines.
 The truth is that the conservatism O: the United States as to the subna- rine boat is far more reasona ble than the somewhat unreasoning enthusiasm of France and other nations. ProCf that the submarine boat has come to stay is still lacking. There is still the possibility that before a decade has elapsed the terrific submarine may have gone to join on the scrap heap the numerous other freak war vessels that in their day were as certain ito revolutionize naval warfare" as the submarine is now. There are enough of them to furnish material fer a naval parody of Villon's Ballad of Dead Ladies'
 The submarine boat. no doubt. has its field of usefulness. Its value for coast defense has been fairly, though not cOnclusively established. At present it impresscs the imagination and so gives the nation possessing many sub marines a certain moral advantage over an attacking enemy The peace ful citizen will sleep better when an enemy's fleet is lowering on his coun- try coast. for the Knowledge that the coast is guarded by submarines, and their presence or supposed presence will have a deterrent effect upon an enemy contemplating naval attack or the establishment of a close block ade. Whether this moral value Cf the submarine will survive the shock of the first naval war in which submarines are employed is still an open question.
 The submarine in its present develop ment is hardly likely ever to be an important factor in aggressive naval warfare. It's "steam-radius" is too small, it is too slow, 1t is too unfit for human habitation, it is too bulky to be carried on fulI-grown battleships 70 wherever it's services may be required Briefly, the probability that the sub- marine, at best, can play but minoI and subordinate part in future naval conflicts is still great.
 The battleship is still "the monarch of the sea" and the gun is still the dominating factor in naval battles. Uu to now, whenever battleship and gun have been tested, side by side with de- vices warranted to supcrsede them h naval warfare. their superiority las been conspicuously made manifest The United States shows wisdom by going slow" in the matter of submarine boats -Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

Again, the Wild Man.

The Wild man of the Phoenix Enter prise has broken loose again, and again we extend our condolences to the editor of that paper. who resides in Tucson. The Enterprise is made to regret that former Governor Murphy was requested by meeting of citizens to go to Wash ington in company with other eminent republicans of the territory, to work for statehood, and it is made to say that it would be well if the governor were hired to stay at home.'
 Although the editor of the Tucson Citizen-Phoenix Enterprise is far from being a fool, he is not always so for tunate as to be able to say as much in behalf of some of his subordinates at this end of the line. Governor Mur- phy and his brother. both of whom arc attacked by the wild man, have ex- pended thousands of dollars in the statehood cause-more money, prob ably. than the wild man ever saw.
 None of the gentlemen selected by the citizens meeting has been able yet to say when he can leave for Washing ton, but, according to the wild man, Governor Murphy should be forced to furnish plans and specifications of the reasons why he cannot take the first train for the capital. It might be worth while to say more if the nowl at the governors delay had come from a re- sponsible source.
