Among we'll posted persons it is not
charged to any weakness of General Miles
that differences between himself and the
Secretary of War arose. In fact, it is
probable that the historian Of the future
will be quick to recognize that such diff
fculties as occurred were due to faulty
system, rather than to the character of
the man in command. The fault was
that the general commanding had no in
huence over the ten heads of staff depart
nlents who had generally long reigned
supreme and whose self-will contributed
no little to the friction which appears to
have been inevitable. On August IS the
position of general commanding will go
out of existence and the command of the
army will fall to a general staff and the
ranking general as chief of staff may find
it possible to work in harmony with the
ten staff officers who perform so impor-
tant part in the direction of military
affairs

Friday, Aug. IL, 1903.

The factional strife in the ranks of the
republican party apparently grows more
bitter as the date for the primaries in the
various counties and election day ap-
proach. At the meeting of the Repub-
lican State Board of Appeals held in Bal
ttnore this week, harmony" had bus
mess elsewhere and the leaders of the
opposing factions exchanged courtesies
with each other in a free manner. The
meeting was for the purpose of hearing
appeals taken by organization members of
the county committees in Prince Georges
aud Charles counties concerning viola
tions in the conduct of primaries by
Congressman Mudd and his friends.
The meeting was stormy one, with
the Congressman occupying a central
position while villihcation and abuse was
being hurled. According to the report of
the proceedings such words as liar, I"
chief" "blackguard, etc, were banded
back and forth without reserve. One of
the disputants employed a blackjack with
which to punctuate his remarks.
No decisive action in connection with
the appeals was taken by the board, not
withstanding that the organization, or
McComas element, had majority of one;
nor was punishment meted out to Mr..
Mudd and his friends for the alleged
violations.

The retirement of Nelson A. Mile

The retirement of Nelson A. Miles
as lieutenant general of the army on
the Sth inst, without word of commen-
dation from either the President or the
Secretary of War, has aroused the indig-
nation of the public. The Generals
friends are up in arms against the Ad-
ministration at the treatment accorded
him, and the appearance of General
Young at General Miles reception wear
ing the three stars of 1ieutenant-g general,
while the latter in reality still held the
position, is looked upon as a premeditat-
ed slight and humiliation to Miles, as a
parting thrust from the Administration.
In commenting on the narrowness of
the Chief Executives action the Public
Ledger says:
con the retirement of Lieutenant
General Schofeld some years ago, Presi-
dent Cleveland very gracefully expressed
the feeling of the nation upon similar
occasion, and it was not believed that
President Roosevelt would be less mind
full of soldiers fame or of the sentiment
of patriotic people. The studied slight
put upon General Miles i'll the perfume
tory order issued by the Adjutant Cen
eral without word of individual recog-
milton, is not so much an insnlt to him as
to the nation, an offense that the whole
nation will resent.
''The fact that there is known to have
been personal friction between General
Miles and the Secretary of War, to whose
influence this ill-advised discourtesy must
be attributed, does not mitigate the Of
fense. 1t was not i'll his personal but in
his official capacity that the President
was called on to bid farewell to an officer
who had grown gray in the active service
subordinate like General Corbin to dis
miss the Lieutenant General in a formal
order that, however appropriate in the
ordinary routine, can bear no other con-
struction in such case than that of pre-
meditated insult, is a wrong so grievous
as to be almost incredible, and we search
in vain to find excuses for it.
president Roosevelt's tendency, under
the evil promptings of Secretary Root, to
treat the public service as a personal
affair, i'll which his own preferences and
prejudices, his likes and dislikes, are al
lowed to count against the record of
achievement, has had a most demoraliz-
ing influence on the army. What may
be the effect of this latest example, of its
oldest and most distinguished officer pub
licly snubbed, while young men of little
or no military experience or training are
advanced to high positions over the heads
of veterans, no one can foretell. But there
can be no doubt of its effect upon public
opinion. He has done himself a far
greater wrong than he has done General
Miles"

Cannot Keep 1t Down.

They say that the money question is
settled, and yet the president is confer
ring with republican leaders about finan-
cial legislation, and the magnates are pre-
pairing to squeeze the public into submis-
sion to their demands. Speaker Cannon
was called to Oyster Bay and urged to
assist in carrying out the schemes of Wall
street, but he could not be enthused. He
was willing to allow congress to pass such
bill, but he would not promise to help.
His assistance, however, will hardly be
needed, for the fnanciers will bring the
necessary influence to bear on republican
members and Speaker Cannon would find
1t quite difficult to prevent the passage OF
any bill that Rothschild and Morgan
agreed upon. 1t might be well, though,
for the republicans to pause long enough
to consider what Mr.. Cannon says about
the increase in the currency. He boasts
that the volume of money has increased
$I2o, 900, 900 in the last year and he does
not favor tinkering with the currency.
The quantitive theory of money has been
vindicated and still the republicans refuse
to make permanent provision for an ade-
quate supply of real money.
The fight that is coming up in congress
over the currency measure will give the
democrats a chance to call public atten-
ton to the manner in which the monied
element controls the republican party

There have been no new developments

of the vigor with which the search for
Irregularities is being prosecuted. H. H.
Rand, confidential clerk to the Postmaster

whereabouts is obtainable, although he

years, and Assistant Attorney General
Robb is earning exceptional credit by his
