FORGOTTEN THINGS.

the commanding general of the
United States army, incautiously
visited the White House at
Washington. In a life of sixty
two years, which had brought
him into contact with ten Presi-
dents he had gone through many
experiences, and doubtless felt
prepared for anything he might
in the home of any
gentleman of his acquaintance.
But Gen. Miles found something
new in store. In presence Of
eight or ten other visitors Presi-
dent Roosevelt is said to have
turned upon him and exclaimed:
''Your conduct is worthy of
censure, sir. You had no bust
ness to express an opinion, and
[ am surprised that a man of
your experience and military
training should be guilty of such
a gross breach of discipline -
We cannot help thinking that
if President Roosevelt had taken
time to recall certain circum-
stances he would have hesitated
before administering to Gen.
Miles the rebuke of a schoolmas-
ter to an unruly pupil,
For instance:
When Theodore Roosevelt was
2 years 10 months and 13 days
old Nelson A. Miles entered the
army as a volunteer. He fought
in the bloody battles of the pen
insula before Richmond and An
tietam.
On Sept. 20, 1862, when Mr..
Roosevelt was years, II months
and 3 days old, Nelson A. Miles
became colonel of his regiment.
On May 3 1868, when little
Theodore had reached the age OF
4ha and was doubtless luXuriat-
ing in his first trousers. Col.
Miles was earning the medal OF
-honor for distinguished gallantry
in the battle OF charlottesville,
while holding with his command.
a line of abbatis and rifle pits
against a strong force OF the
enemy until severely wounded.
On May 12,1S64, Miles became
brigedier general of volunteers
for distinguished service during
the battles of the Wilderness and
Spottsylvania Court House. Al
this time Mr.. Roosevelt was 81
years old and the Hon. Elihu
Root, now Secretary of War, was
just graduating from college pre-.
paratory to studying law.
On Aug. 20, 1864, two month:
before young Roosevelt's sixth
birthday, Brigadier Genera
Miles was breveted major genera
for ''highly meritorious and dis
tinguished conduct Throughout
the campaign and particularly
for gallantry and valuable ser
vice in the battle of Ream's Sta
tion."
/ All these distinctions were con
ferred by Abraham Lincoln. Il
earning them Gen. Miles wa
wounded three times.
In view of these facts, does i
not seem to President Roosevelt
as if he might gracefully leav
any reprimands the veteran com
mander may have earned to tn
ordinary course of military jus
tice, instead of volunteering re
Dukes of his own?
| Especially when he remember
a certain round robin which tn
superior of the officers who sign
ed found quite as inconsisten
with discipline as any remark
i attributed to Gen. Miles.-Chica

The advocates Of the demo-
cratic national platforms Of
1896 to 1900 have been con thu
ally referred to by republicans
as ''populists They have been
continually charged with "con-
tributing to the disquiet Of the
people, with seeking to make
the people discontented," and
with ATTACKING property" But
the time has arrived when others
than democrats give warning
that the big monopolies are fore
ing the country toward govern
ment ownership. Referring to
the great railroad trusts, the
Chicago Tribune, one of the most
stalwart republican organs in
the west, says editorially:
An issue Of tremendous conse-
quence is thus being brought to
the whole country. tits a matter
of conjecture if these railroad
and financial manipulatOrs COM
prehend what this issue is. The
failure of full and effective gov
ernment regulation which the
roads have SO far succeeded
in breaking down means govern
ment ownership, nothing less
than that. And toward just that
conclusion the combination are
forcing the country. 1t will be a
great mistake to suppose that
the present patience OF the peo-
pie with growing domination of
monopoly is a test of what the
public temper will always prove
to be-
| No democrat has said more,
but when the line up comes again
in 1901 the trusts will be able to
reach the Tribune or ostracise it.

port Secretary Root paid the following high
tribute to the work of the medical depart
ment Of the army in the island:

THE brilliant character of his scientific
achievement, its inestimable value to man
kind, the saving Of thousands Of lives, and
the deliverence Of the Atlantic seacoast
from constant apprehension, demand special
recognition from the government Of the
United States.
DIR. Reed is the ranking major In the
medical department., and within q few
months will, by operation Of law, become
lieutenant colonel l ask that the President
be authorized to appoint him assistant sur
geon general. with the rank Of colonel, and
to appoint Major Gorgas deputy surgeon
general, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
and that the respective numbers In those
grades in the medical department be in
creased accordingly during the period for
which they hold those Offices.
The name Of DR.. Jesse w. Lazear con-
tract surgeon. who voluntarily permitted
himself to be inoculated with the yellow
fever germ, In order to furnish a necessary
experimental test in the course Of the In
vestigation. and who died Of the disease
should be written in the list of the martyrs
who have died in the cause of humanity.
AS a slight memorial Of his heroism a bat
terry in the coast defense fertilization at
Fort Howard Baltimore, Nd, has been
named Battery Lazear.'
