YOUNG AND MILES.

THE ORDER issued by Secretary Of
L War Root by direction OF the presi-
dent retiring Lieutenant General S. B.
n. Young from the command OF the
army by reason Of the operation Of the
age limit law. reminds US of the order
under when. General Miles was retired.
Because it is 50 different.
General Miles was retired under this
order:
By direction of the secretary of war
the retirement from active service by
the president. Aug. s, 1903. Of Lieuten-
ant General Nelson A. Miles. by opera
ton of law, under the provisions of the
act of congress. approved June 50, 1882,
is announced"
Thus was Miles, after a period &C
brilliant service covering a period Of
more than forty years. literally kicked
out Of the army. Contrast that order
with this;
"He General Young) goes into retire
ment with the respect and esteem OF
all his associates. There can be no bet
ter wish for the army in the future
than that its officers shall remember
how distinction and the highest rank
have come to this officer. not as the re-
suit of sslf-seeking or political or social
influence, but as the result of duty well
done. a high standard Of honor. sane
and kindly judgment, and unselfsh 10y
atty to his commander-in-chief, 10 the
army and to the country which he has
Jerved."
Honestly. now. don't YOU think it
pays for even a plain fighting man to
cultivate close friendship with a
strenuous president? If Miles had only
been wise enough to let Roosevelt be-
lieve that Miles believed Roosevelt
knew more about the army and about
war in five seconds than Miles could
ever hope 20 know, Roosevelt wouldn't
have been able to spread compliments
thickly enough through the order-re-
firing Miles.

NEW FLYlNe MACHINE.

THE LATEST FLYING MACHINE
to gain prominence is. that Of the
Wright Brothers of Dayton. 0. Last
December oryile and Wilbur Wright
went down to Dare county, North Car
DINA. to perfect a device they had
been planning. foe. a great many months.
Now they have come out in a state
ment in which they claim success.
Those who nave read of the work done
by the Wright machine viii. however,
consider the assertion that success has
been attained as exuavagant
According to the inventors own story
they have not built a machine capable
Of sustaining itself in the air for any
considerable period. That they have
made progress viii not be denied. but
that they are still far from success is
also true. They mention four more or
less successful flights undertaken by
them. The machine few directly

1.-THE flyer made its way forward with
speed Of ten miles an hour over the
ground and Of thirty to thirty-nve
miles an hour through the air" This
was the first flight. "The succeeding
fights" we are told rapidly increased

WHISKY EIeuREs EoR 1903.

THERE ISN'T MUCH in the figures
on the manufacture Of whisky in
the United States during 1903 TO justify
optimism on the part Of strict believ-
ers in the theory that we should touch
not, taste not, handle not the uEclean
thing. According to a reliable re-
port more than s0,008,000 bushels of
grain were used during 1908 in the man
ufacture of whisky. This is an in
crease of not far from 100000 bushels
as compared with the preceding year,
An increase in the number of gallons
Of molasses used in making whisky
was also noted. In 1908 100000 gal
Ions were so used, as against less than
9,000,000 gallons in 1902.
IN operation throughout the country
were 1865 distilleries Of every class.
from the little ne-barrel-a-da day houses
TO the distiIleries where hundreds of
barrels are turned out every day. 1t
win surprise some people who imagine
that Kentucky is composed OF a sea of
whisky entirely surrounded by men to
learn that the bluegrass state is a
poor third in the number Of distilleries
and q not very close second in the
amount of grain used North Carolina
leads in the dlstilleries with $50; Nir-
ginia is second with AIS; Kentucky is
third with 902.
Illinois has only nineteen distilleries,
but it turns out more whisky-and per-
haps worse whisky--than any other
state in the Union. In the manufac-
tUre Of this intoxieant in 1903 Illinois
used up more than $500, 900 bushels Of
grain. Kentucky used s,009,000 bushels.
Indiana wasn't so verE. far away with
000,0 600 bushels, and then came Ohio
with 3.0G0,000. Il is some comfort to
note that the business Of making
lincolnshire" whisky, OF whisky on
which no tax is paid, seems TO be in its
decadence.
Not a single revenue officer was
killed during the year. a fact that has
hardly been duplicated in the history
of the government. More than 1000
Illicit distilleries were destroyed and
their total value was just $i39, 62S, but
all this was accomplished without FIR
ing a shot. 1t has only been a few
years since the killing Of revenue Of
icers by moonshiners in the southern
states was Of such frequent occurrence
as to call for little comment.

DEATH OF GEN. eoRDoM.

THE DEATH of General John Brown
i Gordon at his home in Atlanta, Ca.
removes the last survivor of the
brilliant group Of confederate lieutenant
generals. General Gordon entered the
confederate army as d captain at the
age of IS years. For conspicuous gal
lantry and ability he was rapidly pro-
NOTED through the various grades un-
til he became a lieutenant general At
the close of the war, though broken in
health and fortune, General Gordon did
not waste any time in msssrning for the
cause that was lost.
Instead, he set about retrieving his
fortunes and reuniting his country with
the same zeal. the same earnesness,
the same ability that distinguished his
career in the army. At the outset Gen
eTal Gordon met with a disappointment.

machinery entirely in his hands.
in 1873 General CoTdon's fellow citi-
zens showed their confidence in him by
electing him to represent them in the
United States senate, where he served
until 1879. He was again elected gov
ernor Of Georgia in 1857. and in 1891 he
went back to the senate. During the
closing years Of his life General Cor
don was prominent as a lecturer on va
rious topics connected with the civil
war, but he always discussed them
without bitterness and ever in a man
ner which showed his earnest desire
for one country, one people. one flag
in this nation.
His death viii be a severe loss, not
only TO the south. but TO the entire
country, for we must all concede that
General Gordon fought malfully for
what he believed TO be rlgat and that

Monaghan Pheasan t

Bayfield, Press:-It is the inten-
ton Of the Ashland Sportsmen' S
League to introduce into this Sec
tion the coming summer a new bird
known as the Monaghan or Chinese
pheasant. These birds were first
placed in the state of Oregon and to
say the least they thrived wonder
fully and now overrun the west.
They were stan ted on an island and
needed protection only a few years,
when they spread to the main land
and out for the crows would have
run the farmers out. Crows are
protected in the west for the reason
that they keep these birds down to
certain extent by playing the part
of thieves and robbing their nests.
The pheasant is peculiar bird in
that he is game to the feather and
