ties connected with the office of mar shal would be discharged by him in an able manner. As our special from Washington this morning shows. there were no charges against Marshal Me Cord, and it is possible that his fail- ure to receive the appointment at the hands of President Roosevelt is due in a measure to his taking it for granted that it was not necessary to make q showing of his claims. How ever. the most plausible explanation of the appointment of Mir. Daniels is that the president made that as a personal appointment purely. as President Me Kinley made that of Mir. McCord.
 Mir Daniels only lately became res ident of the territory, and whatever campaign he made for the appointment was in the nature of a "still hunt" But it develops that he has had the warm friendship of Mir. Roosevelt since the formation of the Rough Rider reg iment As an enlisted man from Colo rado. he served with distinction throughout the Santiago campaign un- der the eyes of Colonel Roosevelt. In his book, The Rough Riders" Mir Roosevelt refers to Mr. Daniels in terms of praise more than once. In describing the personnel of his reSi- ment. Colonel Roosevelt said:
 Many of the Arizona and New Mex ioo men had taken part in warfare with the Apaches, those terrible ln- dians of the waterlcss southwestern mcuntains-the most bio oodrhirsty and the widest of all the red men O. America, and the most formidable in their own dreadful style of warfare Of course, q man who had kept his nerve ard held his own. year after year. while living where each day and night contained the threat of hidden death from a foe whose goings and cOmings were unseen, was not apt to lose courage when confronted with any other enemy. An experience in follow ing in the trail of an enemy who might flee at one stretch through fifty miles of deatn-like desert was good school out of which to come with profound in difference for the ordinary hardships of campaigning.
 As rule. the men were more apt. however, to have had experience in warring against white despcTadoes and law breakers than against Indians. Some of our best recruits come from Colorado One, a very large. hawk eyed man, Benjamin Franklin Daniels. had been marshal of Dodge City when that pleasing town was the toughest abode of civilized man to be found anywhere on the continent. In the course of the exercise of his rather lurid functions as peace-ofiicer he had lost half of one ear-"bitten off it was explained to me. Naturally, he viewed the dangers of battle with philosophic calm. Such a man was. in reality, a veteran even in his first fight, and was a tower Of strength to the recruits in his part of the line.
 Narrating the experiences of the Rough Riders in the trenches before Santiago. Colonel Roosevelt said:
 This day. the 3rd. We suffered noth- ing. save having one man wounded by q sharpshooter. and thanks to the ap- breaches to the trenches. We were able to relieve the guards without any diff iculty. The Spanish sharpshOoters in the trees and jungle nearby however. annoyed us very much. and l made preparations to fix them next day. With this end in view I chose out some ! twenty first-class men. in many in stances the same that I had sent after | the guerillas. and arranged that each should take his canteen and Q little ! food. They were to slip into the jungle between us and the Spanish lines ! before dawn next morning, and there | to spend the day. getting as close to the Spanish lines as possible, moving l about with great stealth. and picking off any hostile sharpshooter. as well as any soldier who exposed himself in | the trenches. I had plenty of men who possessed a training in woodcrafJ that | fitted them for this work: and as soon as the rumor got abroad what I was planning. volunteers thronsed to me. | Daniels and Love were two of the men always to the front in any emergency of this nature.
 It IS quite clear from Mir. RooseveIt's
 description Of him. that Marshal Dan iels will be a bad man for evil-doers to 'stack up against.
 We congratulate the contemplating town of Nogales in capturing both Of | these appointments.
