Gus injury of brave and honorable men
in the military service. Without deny
ing that Wood has rendered public
service, it can be most positively al
firmed that he has already received
more than ample reward. Why he
should be boosted over the heads OF
nearly 500 officers, half Of whom saw
service in the Civil war; why this re-
cent upstart should be allowed to de-
feat the honest hopes and to prevent
the hard-earned promotion of men
whose whole lives have been given to
their country for more than a genera
ton. the public does not understand.
If this thing is permitted. it will be
to the lasting discredit Of the senate,
which alone can act as an effective
check upon the presidents determine
ton to bestow unmerited honor upon
his friend at the cost OF others. Drop
the Rathbone business and the Cuban
period out Of sight. Let there be no
serious attempt to reflect upon the
character or the services Of Gen. Wood.
Say merely that, according to the rules
and precedents of the service, and with
a view to the doing Of ordinary JUS
tice, his proposed promotion is impos-
sibIe and must be forbidden. That is
the view that the country takes, and
such rebuke to the prostitution of the
army for political and personal ends
would be most wholesome at the pres
ent time.

THE RIGHT GROUND.

It is a rare bit of good fortune for
Gen. Wood that the most spectacular
part of the opposition to his confrma-
ton as major general is headed by
ever these two gentlemen in conjunc-
ton might oppose would be so highly
as to give it a powerful impetus.
Here is a man notorious all over the
of postal affairs in Cuba, and who ap-
pears as the principal prosecutor Of
United States who backs up his
protege, and allows it to be very evil
dent that he knows little and cares less
about Gen. Woods fitness for the po-

this disgusting personal element to
the right about and will consider sole
ly the position taken by Senator Teller.
He is exactly right. He looks at the
subject in the broad, clear light of
patriotism and justice. He knows
that, while Gen. Woods career in Cuba
contains episodes that do demonstrate
him to be unfit for such great advance
ment-notably, his opening of the Gu
ban treasury to the demands of the sug-
ar trust lobbyists-yet this is not the
main thing or the principal considera-
ton that should secure his rejection.
The real offense is that, from the
very beginning of the Cuban war when
Gen. Wood started as a captain, he
has been pushed to the front as mat

FATALLY BURNED WHILE

Man Turns on Gas, Mother Lights
Match and Explosion Follows.

COLUMBUS, Ind, Nov. 22.-August
Doller was burned to death and his
mother, aged eighty, was fatally burn
ed this morning by a gas explosion at
their home. The house was totally
wrecked, a part of it being blown into
a neighbours yard. Doller had been
drinking heavily and was out late
He entered the house by the kitchen
and had locked the door leading f-ct1
the kitchen to the dining room. Mrs.
Doller was awakened and finding the
door locked, went outside and entered
the kitchen by the outer door. She
lighted match and the explosion fol-
lowed, throwing her into the yard and
burning her terribly. The house caught
fire and a moment later there was a
second explosion on the second floor
where gas had accumulated. Fire
men put out the flames and while
cropping through the smoke stumbled
over what proved to be Doller's char
red body wrapped in a feather bed
near the open natural gas pipe, which
had been disconnected.
Tools were found near, indicating
that Doller had disconnected the pipe
and laid down near the open pipe with
suicidal intent.

with considerable interest. In the
makeup of the committees the Ala
bama senator will be displaced as
chairman of the committee on isthmian
canals. He has been chairman of that
committee since it's organization, and
has been identified with canal legisla-
ton ever since he entered the senate.
1t is understood that he will review
to some extent his connection with this
important work, and that in doing so
he will sharply criticise those who fail
to agree with him in advocacy of the
Nicaragua route.
House Wants Bill Disposed Of.
The house will meet Tuesday. Hav-
ing disposed of the Cuban bill, it has
no business before it, and unless an
agreement shall be effected by which
the called session is to be brought to
an early close, an adjournment will
probably be taken until Friday, and
then an adjournment until Monday or
Tuesday, 1t is suggested that it is
extremely doubtful if there will be a
quorum Tuesday, and that if the point
of no quorum should be raised it would
be impossible to act on a concurrent
resolution providing for an adjourn
ment even should one be brought over
from the senate.
Some of the house leaders have ex-
pressed themselves in opposition to
an adjournment before the Cuban bill
shall have been disposed of, but what
might be the result of a conference
between the leaders of the senate and
house on this proposition remains to
be seen.
1t is possible that the speaker may
be ready to announce the committee
assignments by the end Of the week.
If this is done, the house will be fully
organized and prepared at the opening
of the regular session next month to
proceed to business.
Members of both sides of the house
are mindful of the conventions which
are to be held next year, and the de-
sire will be general to rush the work
as fast as possible in order that the
regular session may be brought to a
close as early as possible.

THE FuTILIrY OF RICHES.

Some of the gentlemen Of the press
are inclined to be captious In thelr
comment upon the statement that John
D. RockefelIer's share Of the profits OF
the Standard Oil company for the cur
rent year will amount Ito $29,000,O00.
Some of them go so far as to say that
this is more money than any one man
should have; they all agree that there is
something wrong with a system that
permits this awful armful to be taken
over by an Individual in a single year.
These brethren of the tripod should
put some restraint upon themselves.
The inutility of their knocking is OBJ
vious John D. is not going to let go
just because some people, who don't
know what it costs to keep UP the
state of an oil magnate to live, indulge
in kicking. He needs the money. He
is under moral obligations to keep the
lamp Of enlightenment burning in some
universities. In order to do that he
has to employ a number Of persons
clipping coupons. The nice adjustment
of things mundane will be observed in
this: If he could not give employment
to the coupon clippers they would al
most certainly drift into other lines of
employment, and who shall say that
they would not become journalists and
overcrowd an already crowded profess
sion?
Besides, John D. just can't help 1t.
It is natural for him to sit around and
laugh while the other fellows are max
ing money-because he can't help
thinking how easy 1t is to take 1t away
from them. He gets $29,OO0,O00 this
year because he has that much coming.
But his lot is not altogether enviable.
Let the literary persons who are tear
ing out their superfiuous hair while
seeking for words of bitterness with
which to denounce John D. bethink
them that he would give the $29 1000, 900
and then some if it were permitted
him to tear out of his own shining
scalp single hair.

What Democrats Should Do.

Democrats should get together and
put forth a candidate and platform
that will command the support of real
Democrats everywhere. But there
should be no effort to cater to the Pop
ulistic and Socialistic elements in the
West or elsewhere. The Democrats OF
the South and East, at least, should
agree. 1t is to the East the South
must hook for support necessary to
success. The East must also look to
the South. In some respects the in
terests of these two sections are di-
vergent, but they are more closely al
lied in business sense than any other
two sections, and in politics it is es-
sential that the Democrats Of the East
and South stand together.--Nashville

Why Roosevelt Halted.

The course of Joseph Chamberlain
toward the Dutch republic Of South
Africa was not more ruthless than the
course of President Roosevelt to the
republic of Colombia. Had Mr.. Roose-
velt's course toward this American re-
public succeeded, it's fate would have
been the same as that of the Trans
vaal. 1t would have been destroyed.
Mr.. Roosevelt has halted in his course
only because he suddenly discovered
that to accomplish the destruction of
an American republic it would be nee
essary toLichallenge the British en-
pire.-Chicago Chronicle.
