WASHINGTON, Aug. 18th. 1905
The personality of the Demo
cratic National ticket continues to
be the most talked of political sub
ject in Washington. When Gener-
al Miles retired on August 8 and his
retirement was announced by a
stereotyped order, signed by Corbin
and unaccompanied by a word OF
congratulation or commentator OF
his long and faithful services, the
possibility of German and Miles as
the Democratic nominees became a
su bject OF general discussion bu,
soon reports began to come from
the South which dissipated the idea
that Miles could ever become a
Democratic candidate. Ii was
shown that the Southerns had never
forgiven Miles putting Jefferson
Davis in irons and in some cities of
the South, Miles retirement had
been celebrated. In Atlanta, the
State House had been decorated
with flags and bunting in honor of
the occasion.
III
1t is generally held in Washing
ton that Senator German is TODAY
the strongest possibility and the
Maryland statesman's friends main
tain that, as leader of the minority
in the Senate during the approach
ing session, Mr.. German will gain
new laurels and will enter next sum.

{. S. Bryner who has just re-
turned from a visit at Friendsville,
Md, tells an interesting story Of a
geologist whom he met at that place.
The geologist is w. n. Lehman. Of
Montrose, Pa, who has been over
the Eastern States in the service Of
the government for IS years and in
all that time has never during his
examination Of lodges and lorna
tons Of art seen a copperhead or a
rattlesnake. Mr.. Lehman SAYS he
has always looked for these poison
Gus snakes, but that he has never
yet come across one. He has spent
quarter Of century in the Ale
ghany mountains and in the eastern
States, and Il seems remarkable and
almost incredible that he has never
seen one Of the reptiles during a
research. -UnIontown Standard.

Secretary Root is to retire from
the Cabinet, not Immediately but
probably some time in December.
Mr.. Roots retirement will be ser
ious loss to President Roosevelt who
has long been opposing il, for in all
the cabinet there are two men on
whose judgement Theodore Roose-
Welt relies, but two men who can ia.
fiunce him for his own good when
he has determined upon an injudi-
cious step. Those men are Hay
and Root and of The two Root is,
in many instances, the more inHuen-
tial. 1t is generally believed that
Governor Taft will succeed Secre-
tary Root. Though the operation
of the general staff plan, the direc-
ton of the army, which heretofore
devolvec on the Secretary of War,
has dcvolved on the staff and with
a competent staff of experienced
army officers thorough incompe-
tent could do little harm as Secre
tary of War" quote promi-
nent naval officer who was advoca.
ting the staff plan for the navy to
make up for the deficiencies of Sec
rotary Moody. The serious prot
lens which are likely to arise in the
War Department in the near future
will, therefore, concern the Philip
pines and it is believed that Taft's
familiarity with Philippine condl-
tons would make him valuable
officer of the administration.
