Miles. The Jai!er.

Charlotte News.
No doubt General Miles has often
wished he haden't done it. But he
did, and it was an objectionable sin.
Captain Jerome B. Titlow tells the
truth about the putting of Jefferson
Davis in irons at Fortress Monroe in
the following communication to the
Army and Navy Journal:
ST. Paul, Mimi, June 30, 1908.
To the Editor of the Army and Navy
Journal:
In a recent issue of your paper | noted
a communication rejecting upon the
structures Gen. Nelson A. Miles, United
States army, has put upon soldiers of
the United States in the Philippines in
regard to ''barbarous and inhuman
treatment" and | also note your edito-
rial comment upon the communication,
and in so far as your correspondent has
drawn a parallel between these acts and
the acts of Gen. Miles in placing irons
upon Jefferson Davis in Fortress Monroe
in May, 1865, | beg to correct the opin-
ion which you have formed in the prem
ises. Gen. Miles never had official orders
to put irons upon Jefferson Davis. l
was officer of the day, upon the date in
question. WneH 1TOuS were put upon Mt.
Davis. Gen. Miles called me into head
quarters and told me that he had
authority" to place Mr.. Davis in irons,
and in confirmation of his orders Gen
Miles exhibited to me a personal letter
from the then Secretary of War, Station,
which evidently was in reply to a com
munication from Gen. Miles, in which the
secretary in effect said: IF you consider
the safeguarding of the prisoner requires
it, you may place him in irons, at your
discretion"
There was nothing mandatory from
the Secretary of War; all was left to the
discretion of the commanding officer;
nor was the communication official, and
am sure that a review of the files of the
adjutant generals Office will reveal no
official communication making it man.

Davis in irons. and, further, shall say
that it was not an act necessary to in

without compromising the eternal
principles of justice. He understood
the wants of the people and sympa-
thized with their legitimate aspira-
tions, while at the same time he was
always the promoter and vindicator
of law and order and legitimate gov
ernment nteverywhere."
This was the universal character
of the testimony to his policy during
the progress of his golden jubilee
In a sermon in this city at the Lloyd
Street Synagogue some years ago
Rev. DR.. A. l.. Bethlehem, while
frankly declaring that the Jews could
not recall with pleasant feelings the
relations between their race and the
Catholic Church at several historical
periods. added that they recognized
in Leo XIII virtues which will shed
lustre upon his name and fame and
record him as the piOus peacemaker
OF the world. = The future histor-
ian will be just, and will inscribe the
name OF Cardinal Pecci, afterward
Pope, upon the golden page as a
man full of compassion for the suffer-
ing world, full OF sympathy for all
denominations who differ from his
creed, as man who prevented war
and blood-shed and stimulated peace
and goodwill between combating

and all his efforts made for practical
good. Whether we argree to or dis

to the supremacy OF the church, most
persons will admit that he proclaim

which we have referred and that the
world is better and Christianity

hood. He entered the Senate soon
after the war, and in a single speech,
shall live rs long as our love for pa
triotism and virtue, made good the
defense of the south, laid the founda-
tion for reconciliation of the sections
and secured for himself the respect OF
that great body. For a long time
after that he was silent in the Senate,
preferring deeds to words. His ser
vice to his state and the south was
very great Once more the time
came when North Carolina found one
man equal to her wishes. Zebulon
b. Vance lay dead-him whom we
loved as we never have and never
can love another The state wished
for some one to put into adequate
speech her love and sorrow for the
dead. Senator Ransom accomplish
eb this task in a eulogy of surpass-
ing beauty-such as the Senate never
listened to before, and never will
again. In war Senator Ransom was
worthy of the finest soldiery the
world has ever seen-in peace he has
perfectly filled every trust committed
to him. He is our greatest states
man, our greatest diplomat, our
greatest farmer. 1t is fit that he pre-
side over your deliberations. In the
years to come we shall esteem him
more even than we do now. Last
night in this hall some OF us had the
pleasure OF listening to an able, in
structive and learned lecture by DR..
Geo T. Winston on the Pope. In
the course of that lecture we learned
that standing closet to st. Peter one
is not impressed with the largeness,
its harmony, its beauty are noted.
1t is only when leaving, when you
