The ARMY BILL passed yesterday
provides that any officer of the army be-
low the grade of brigadier general who
served with credit as an officer or as an
enlisted man in the regular or volunteer
force during the civil war prior to April
49, 1865, otherwise than as a cadet, and
who has been, or who may hereafter be,
retired on account of wounds or dis.
ability incident to the service, or on ac-
count of age, or after forty years SER
vice, may, in the discretion of the Presi'
dent, be placed on the retired list OF the
army with the rank and retirement pay
of one grade above that actually held by
him at the time of retirement. Thi:
provision will have the effect of promot.
ing one grade between 400 and 500 re-
tired officers, and will cost the already
heavily burdened tax payers annually
many thousands of dollars in retired
pay. Already the War Department is
having considerable trouble in interpre-
ting this provision, and various old feuds
and unwashed army linen are being
brought to light in connection with the
necessity of determining whether or MOI
an officer served creditably during the
civil war. 1t is admitted that the pas
sage of this provision was a political
move to catch the soldiers vote, and
had not this been the session just before
a presidential election the bill could
never have passed Congress. In fact,
such bill has been introduced in Con-
gress every year since 1896.

TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL %, 1904.

Mp BRYAN seems hard to reconcile.
He has so far repudiated every Promi-
nent and able man who has been men
toned BN the democratic party in con-
nection with the presidency, and continues
to harp on by-gone issues. His friends
deplore his course, while his enemies
continue to cartoon him numerically.
The last who has become the victim
of his excavations is Judge Parker. He
fails to see anything in the Judge to
commend and declares him on general
principles unfit for the democratic nomi-
nation for the presidency. Apart from
Mr.. Hearst, it seems impossible for the
party to select a candidate for the office
At whom he fails to send his shafts. AS
the fine for the national convention
draws nearer some little curiosity, If not
anxiety, is expressed as to the commo-
ner's future course should the candi-
date fixed upon by the convention fail
to fit Mr.. Bryan's mould. Is he to be
another Procrustes to distend or abbre-
yiate all who have been mentioned by
the democrats for chief magistrate OF the
nation? Mr. Bryan has, in sense, had
his day, and the great mass OF the demo-
cratic party while his star was in the
ascendancy stood BY him faithfully. 1t
is his place now to stand by the party
which has given him prominence and, on
two different occasions, their allegiance.
He is not as single individual called
upon to dictate the platform of the next
convention, nor to say who shall be Its
nominee. A majority Of the representa-
tiyes Of the party will do that, and pro-
Tossing as be does to be commoner and
democrat Of the straitest sect, be should
defer to the expressed wish OF the ma
iority. He seems, however, to harbor
resentment toward certain members OF
the democratic party who failed to see
coming utopia in his free-silyer theories,
and who were not convinced that sin
entered the world through Wall street.
He has on his own voltion excOmmuni-
Gated all such, and regards his non-sup-
port in 1896 and 1900 sins not to be for
given in this world nor in that which Is
to come. Now the democratic party de-
sires to nominate a man this year who
will at least stand some chance of being
elected. In fact there is every reason to
believe that the republican administra-
ton can be oyerlhrown if there is an in-
dividual democracy.

Apples can be had at 80 cents whilst
potatoes are bringing 81 80 to 81. so per

The Wood Street Smelling works,

head of one of the departments, and
the bullion buyer for the firm, had
defrauded the concern out of about
$50, 900 pounds, or more than $1,000
900, and fed to the continent. His
operations date from the close of the
Boer war At that time Blumenthal
speculated heavily in consols and KAT
frs. 1t was thought at first that he
was operating in behalf of the firm, but
this was not so. He lost heavily and
then commenced his fraudulent opera
lions by adulterating gold in the smelt-
ing works and other crookedness. The
discovery Of the frauds was made
few weeks ago, and he absconded The
Rothschilds, according to custom, re-
fused to call in the police, and closed
this branch of their business.
