urally they would prefer to remain

General Nelson A Miles once more
impinges upon the public vision. This
time he enters the limelight by recon-
mending that the Massachusetts ma
tional guard wear cooked hats and
knee breeches: but, after all. why |
should they not do so? They are
mere holiday soldiers anyway Gen

in uniforms. Solomon in all his glory
was not marker to him.
1t is now said that Mr. Secretary of |
the Navy Paul Morton will retire July
/ and return to railroad management.
There are conflicting rumors as to
which railroad he will devote his time
and energies. The latest is to the eff

a New York subway system.
What will the Republicans do now.
poor things: The Baptists Of thu
United States of America in national
convention assembled have demanded
the expulsion of Reed Smoot, the Nor
mon senator from Utah. There are
more RaptiSts than Nor

Of the brave. What will it profit the
Republicans to gain the Mormon vote
and lose the Baptists? Truth to tell.
the Republican leaders have from the
first been holding with the hare and
running with the hounds in all tbs
Mormon business. Wonder if they can
play double forever.
