The proposed visit of Prince
Henry of Prussia to the United
States is regarded in Berlin as a
a bid for the friendship of this
country. This, it is SAID, is an
open secret in Germany. LII cuu-
nectiou with the controversy
among the European powers as Ia
which was the most friendly, or
the least nafriendly To the Unitrd
States at the outbreak of the war
with Spain, and the effort To
prove that England was not more
favorable TO America than any of
the continental powers, thisnakeS

OF the United States were really

EDITING a paper is a nice job.
If we publish jokes, people will
say We are rattle Drained if we
don't we are an old fossil. If we
publish original matter, they say
we do not give enough selections !;
if We give selections, they say we
are too lazy to write. If we do not
go to church we are heathens if
we do we are hypocrites. If we
remain in the office, we ought to

COLD COMFORT.


The recommendation THE board
of ARMY officers, to the effect that
Forts Brown, Mcintosh and several
other frontier posts be retained,
''to be used when needed, gives
cold comfort to the border towns
adjoining these posts. If the re-
commentator be carried out, it
will mean the virtual abandonment
OF these posts, except in case of
neceSsity-which it is presumed
means IN case of war with Mexico,
or of war in Mexico, either of
which is probable a most remote
cOntingeney-it is indeed to be
hoped so. There remains, however,
a possibility of necessity arising,
such as that created by Cortiua,
who ravaged this frontier and even
raided and took possession of the
town of Brownsville, when Fort
Brown was abandoned formerly.
Ia case of such Necessity" it must
necessarily require ten days or
more, for troops to reach here
from Fort Sam Houston, aud mean
while the town might be burned
and it's citizens all murdered or
made prisoners while their houses
were robbed. Such thing is not
at all impossible. The isolated con-
ditiOn Of the lower river towns
leaves them absolutely defenseIeSs,
unless troops are stationed here.
In these ''piping times OF peace"
snch Z suggestion may sound far
fetched, yet it is Oulya few years
since the "Garzs Fevolutionists"
were operating in this section,
when Forts Mcintosh, RiuggOld
and Brown were all gariSOned.
There was a considerable number
OF these ''revOIutiOniSts, men who
were ready for any adventure,
reckless of danger. The raid on
San Ignacio, the small Mexican
town near the Zspsts border, in
which these outlaws burned houses
and Killed several persons, going
from Texas soil to commit the deed,
less than ten years ago.
The same men who engaged 10 that
sort Of thing are still in this re-
giOn, apparently peaceful enough
now, but they only require a head
to set them on again.
Although there seems NO pro-
liability of any such outbreak ut
present. still it is to be hoped that
he war department may not wait
for SUCH an emergency to conclude
hat these river posts are "ueeded.
Mexico knows the possibilities ard
probabilities Of this frontier, aud

PRINCE HENRY
Will Soon Have One More Promotion
in the German Navy.

Berlin, March 16.-Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia. after completing the
fleet manouevres during the coming
summer, will resign the command of
the first squadron which he has held
for two years.
Prisce Henry has held all positions in
the German navy up to that OF adj
miral. The only position higher in
command is that OF double squadron
manouevrer which have hitherto been
conducted under a general inspector of
the navy. 1t is expected that Prince
Henry will be in command of the
double squadron manouevres next year.
Emperor William has ordered the
battleships Wurtemburg and Baden TO
appear before Cuxhaven, Tuesday to
welcome Prince Henry upon his return
to Germany on board the Hamburg
American steamer Deutschland. While
the official program of Prince Henry's
reception has not yet been published
the newspapers say that Emperor Will
liam will receive his brother on shore
at CuXhaven.

MILES REQUEST REFUSED.
Wanted to Personally Take the Field
in the Philippines.

Washington, March 16.-The Post, to-
morrow. will say: Lieut.. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles made a specific request to the
war department to be sent to the Phil
ippines, and in connection Herewith
submitted plan by which, in his opin-
ion, the war could be brought to an
end without further loss of life to
either side. He proposed to employ
methods similar to those used by him
so successfully in his Indian campaigns.
Secretary Root after due considera-
ton denied Gen. Miles request and dis
approved the plan submitted. The pa
pers, so Endorsed by the secretary, were
sent to the White House and the Presi-
dent subsequently concurred in the sec
retarys action. The final endorsement,
disposing of the matter, is said to bear
date March 5, 1902.
In effect, President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root hold that the war in
the Philippines is already at an
end or virtually SO, and that the
adoption of Gen. Miles plan, in
yolving a change of policy in dealing
with the inhabitants of the archipelago
would be unfair to those officials, mill
tary and civil, whose work has brought
about almost complete pacification.

IN THE HOUSE.
Speaker Henderson and Mr. Miner
Dispose of a Political Lie.

Washington, March 16-The House
devoted its time, Saturday, to private
pension bills, passing 229 bills and
clearing the calendar. This is the larg-
est number of pension bills ever passed
by the House at one sitting.
Earlier in the day a resolution was
adopted calling upon the war depart
ment for information concerning the
government transport service between
San Francisco and the Philippines.
A message from the President was
received returning the bill restoring
Edward Kirshner to the navy for tech
nical correction.
Late in the day Miner of Wisconsin,
rising to a question of personal privi-
lege, denounced as absolutely false a
statement published in a Cincinnati pa
per to the effect that Mr.. Miner had
changed his position on the chipping
bill and on the Cuban tariff question,
because of Speaker Henderson's al
legged intention TO advance a local
revenue cutter measure in which Miner
was interested.
Speaker Henderson also announced
that there was not shadow of truth
in the article. Immediately following
this incident the House adjourned.
