HULL AND GOLD BRAID.

The movement set on foot and car
rled through by Congressman Hull, to
reduce the pay of retired army officers
who are assigned to special duty, is at
tract1ng much attention because it
comes just after General Miles APP
pointment to the staff of Governor
Douglas of Massachusetts. Mr.. Hulls
amendment to the army bill has many
supporters in congress and will no
doubt pass despite the Impassioned op-
position of John Sharp Williams.
MI. Williams speech against the
amendment proposed by Mr.. Hull. by
the way, is one of the odd and indeed
iaughable incidents in connection with
the affair. He accused Captain Hull,
q veteran of the civil war in which
Williams family in Mississippi did
everything possible against the union,
of attempting to dishonor and belittle
the heroes of the nation" as he called
Miles. Now General Miles, 1t is not to
be denied, has a splendid record for
bravery extending from the time he
left West Point until he finished his
career as commander of the army. He
fought in the civil wal with credit
to himself and his nation. He fought
Indians on the plains and acquitted
himself well. He is, indeed, a hero.
But, to employ an almost WORKOUT
slang expression, There are Others"
Captain Hull was one of the men who
entered the army during the civil war
without the advantage Of preparation
in West Point. He worked his way
up by means of bravery on the field
OF battle and-he is also entitled to the
name. of hero. That brings the two
men on a par as far as their service to
the nation Is concerned and certainly
gives Captain Hull a right to criticise
General Miles.
OF late years General Miles has fall
len into the hs bit of displaying his
gold braid and epaulettes in a way that
cannot help but make some of the men
who braved Indictment weather and
confederate bullets with no more pro-
lection than q tattered blue uniform
and a pair of Weary Willie shoes re-
gard him In the same light with the
"tln soldier whose ehisf occupation
seems to be to wear the latest uni
forms and carry the latest guns. Cap
tain Hull, 1t seems, is unable to see
why General Miles should have full
pay when acting al adjutant general
OF Massachusetts after he has retired
from the army. His argument, that
until the rule was made that the a.
would not be reduced when the re-
tired officers were on special duty, did
they take to looking for special duty,
looks like a tensile one. And the last
man one would expect to see speak In
defence Of General Miles and against
Captain Hull's amendment il 4 repre-
sentative from a southern, secession
list state like Mississippi.

THE GRAND JURY.

That time honored butt of ridicule,
that institution without which the
court system Of Iowa would seem lost,
the grand jury, is the object Of a seri-
GUS attack by numerous lawyers, edit
ors and others who have views of their
own. In Minnesota the people have de-
|cided to do away with the grand jury
and the action is attractig attention
from several different parts of the
country.
There are two or three different
sides from which the question may be
viewed. In the first place it is true,
as the friends of the plan for doing
away with the jury maintain, that this
intermediate step between the justice
courts and the district court is useless,
causing only a waste Of money and
time and a delay in the administration
of Justice. This is often true, but it
Is also true that a prisoner who has
committed several crimes and finally
is suspected of an indictable one. a
be bound over and kept in Jail for a
long enough time to make him weary
OF his way Of error, before the grand
Jury meets and, falling to find enough
evidence to warrant an indictment, or
ders his release. This way of admin
istering punishment was not the plan
OF the o%riginators of the grand jury
system but it is a good and practic-
able one, as any police officer will
testify.
The grand jury is n Of the best
places to secure evidence. Its sessions
are strictly private, It's members are
men who will keep secrets and whose
actions are at all times above ques-
ton. Evidence against men suspected
of crimes IAN be secured by these men.
often times, when a single lawyer OF
a justice could not be so successful,
either in private conversation or open
court.
The greatest drawback to the grand
jury system is the danger of technical
titles creeping into the indictments and

develops n~yorophobla,
Birmingham, Jan. IA. - Barney Kee-
gan. living near Kilbourn this county,
was attacked and severly bitten by his
dog, a fine Scotch collie, which he was
attempting to kill. after the animal
showed signs Of rabies. The dog was
observed to be acting strangely and
going to the field set viciously upon a
flock Of sheep, biting and swapping off
the ears of many. MI. Keegan seized
and axe and ran out to dispatch the in
furiated brute, but before he could do
SO. it sprang upon him and sank it's
teeth into his wrist, decorating 1t badly.
The dog went from there to a neigh
boris field and renewed its attack on
some stock, but being observed was
shot and killed. MI. Keegan went to
a physician and had his wrist dressed
which had become badly swollen. He
was much agitated and fearful of hy-
drophobia and acting on the advice Of
the physician, DR.. Craig of Keosauqua
went4to the Pasteur institute at Chi
cago for an examination where 1t was
found that he had strong symptoms
of hydrophobia and is now in that in
stitute for treatment.

FREIGHT RATES.

Now that the question of revising the
tariff has moved away from the center
of the stage and has been replaced by
the agitation for reforms in the rail
road freight rates, 1t is interesting to
note the advice prominent men give
for %remedying the situation. President
Roosevelt in his message to
suggested that power be given the In
terstate commerce commission to fix
rates and bring about uniformity be-
tween the charges in different sections
of the country and on different roads.
