The Coming Black Rose.

Along with the coreless apple and the
fadeless flower of Mr.. Burbank Of Cal
ifornia we are to have black rose If
the experiments Of certain foreign
horticulturist are successful This
floral freak is not to be produced by
chemical solutions, like the green car
nation, or by cross breeding, like the
famous black tulip Of the Dutch pa
triot, De Witt, but by electricity.
Roses grown under the light Of arc
lamps in red globes, the horticulturist
asserts, are of an intense and vivid red,
impossible to obtain by the rays of the
sun. Yellow globes produce the most
delicate and beautiful tints, changing
deep blue to pale mauve, rich orange
to faintest sulphur, brilliant red to
shell pink. Blue and white globes
have no effect upon the colors Of flow
ers. Flowers grown under electric
light In Conservatives are strong and
come to maturity in a marvelously
short time. By continued experiments
upon dark red roses grown under red
globes it is believed that in time a
blossom may be obtained which will
be SO dark as to be practically black.

Another Bit of Russian War Scandal

Another Bit of Russian War Scandal
Russia's generally bad plight needs
no further exposure than that given
by her numerous breaks on land and
sea. A crop Of scandals is ripening
which will doubtless put South Africa
and the Cuban campaign in the shade
in SO far as inadequate and rotten ar
my supplies are concerned and the
shameless robberies Of helpless troops
by officers, contractors and middlemen.
A journalist, writing to the Novoe
Vremya, has taken pains to sum up
from soldiers letters and personal
statements made by trustworthy per-
sons the situation of the army at the
front. The showing begins with rot
ten food and rags for clothes. clay
down your arms, you ragged men, is
stilted Jap salute to Russian prison
ers. One is reminded Of the old bel
danes greeting to Stonewall Jackson's
battered foot cavalry in the Maryland
campaign, "God bless your dirty. bum
cry, ragged soulsy'
There was good excuse for the rag
ged, hungry, dirty Johnnies. Even soap
was luxury in Ole Virginny as early
as 1862. But in wealthy Russia, after
eight months grace to ransack ware
houses, drum up and even manufac-
ture, the nakedness complained Of is a
crime, the hunger a murder on some
body's shoulders. The fact that new
boots sent to the field and paid for at
double price last but week tells the
whole story. There Is an orgy Of spec
ulation reaching from st. Petersburg
to Mukden, and, while only robbing the
state in good old Russian fashion, the
miscreants are heartlessly starving and
freezing the man with tbs musfet.

Robert K. Lea and the Federal Army.

Robert K. Lea and the Federal Army.
The discussion as to the resignation
Of Robert q. Lee from the army Of the
United States in 1861 has received a
fresh impetus by the appearance Of
''Recollections and Letters of General
Robert 3. Lee," by his son, R. e. Lee.
Aside from the fact that the book
is exceedingly interesting in that it
shows phases Of the great commanders
character which could only be known
to a member Of his household, it is
valuable in many respects from his
torical point Of view
The following is the full text Of the
letter, dated Feb. %, 1868, by General
Lee to Hon. Reverdy Johnson at Wash
ington in which his position with ref
ference to this important matter was
set forth at length:
My attention has been called to the
official report of the debate in the senate
Of the United States on the 18th inst. in
which you did me the kindness to doubt
by the Hon. Simon Cameron in regard
to myself desire that you may feel
certain of my conduct on the occasion
referred to so far as my individual state-
ment can make you. never intimated to
any one that I desired the command Of
the United States army, nor did ever
have a conversation with but one gentle
man, Mr.. Francis Preston Blair, on the
subject, which was at his invitation and
&C. r OF hn fnc or re
ident Lincoln. After listening to his re-
marks I declined the offer he made me
TO take command Of the army that was
to be brought into the field, stating as
candidly and as courteously as could
that though opposed to secession and
deprecating war, I could take no part in
an invasion Of the southern states
went directly from the interview with
Mr.. Blair to the office Of General Scott
told him of the proposition that had been
made to me and my decision. Upon re-
dection after returning to my home I
concluded that ought 40 longer to retain
the commission I neid in the United
States army and on the second morning
thereafter / forwarded my resignation to
General Scott. At the time hoped that
peace would have been preserved, that
some way would have been found to
save the country from the calamities Of
war, and I then had no other intention
than to pass the remainder Of my life as
q private citizen. Two days afterward,
upon the invitation Of the governor Of
Virginia, I repaired to Richmond, found
that the convention then In session had
passed the ordinance withdrawing the
state from the Union, and accepted the
commission Of commander Of its forces,
which was rendered me.
These are the ample facts Of the case,
and they show that Mr. Cameron has
been misinformed.
1t would seem that the question Of
the motives which prompted Colonel
Lee to throw up his United States COM
miseion and join fortunes with the
Confederacy ought to be settled forever
by this letter.

Alexander Balm, the scientist, ex-
planned to the world long ago the sub
tie influence which the mind exerts
upon the body. The mind cure theory
can easily be abused, and it seems that
there is an opposite extreme which
may also be fruitful Of harm, and that
is disease breeding by letting the mind
dwell ceaselessly upon microbes, nerves
and SO on. One is apt to find just what
he is looking for and to magnify it's To-
cal Importance. Nature has provided
microbe destroyers and nerve healers
and regulators. Man cannot, of course,
be too careful and cleanly and regular,
but at the same time he should not be
overanxious, committing the absurdity
Of continually searching with a spy
glass for that monster he processes to
shun and abhor.

KENosHA is getting better water

KENosHA is getting better water
and more Of it for less money than
any other city in the state and the
yearly reports of the Municipal Water
Company make very pleasant reading
for the taxpayers of the city. The
Water Commissioners have every rea-
son to be proud of the work that they
have done for the city in the manage
ment of the company, and they are
able to convince every delegation that
comes here to examine this plant that
municipal ownership of water COM
panies can be made success from
every standpoint. After the company
gets water tower and alteration
plant installed and paid for, which
can be done in the next four years out
of the profits and still leave fair
margin for contingent expenses, the

be cleared up IN short order.

The Strong Points In a Fort.

Prolonged and stubborn fighting In
the ditch Of a fort generally means that
the end is near. Assailants in numbers
sufficient to put up long fight do not,
as rule, gain the ditch unless they
have practically surrounded the place
or knocked its main defenses to pieces
with artillery fire before risking a
charge. History records but few strug-
giles in the bitches and on the walls of
fortresses comparable in length and
f1erceness with those at Port Arthur.
And it was natural to suppose from
the way the little Japs started in that
the moment q swarm Of them landed
In the ditch Of a Russian stronghold
the game was theirs.
But it is a long way from the ditch
Of Port Arthur fort to the heart of
the citadel, as shown by a detailed de-
scription in the Manchester Guardian
Of the strong places General NogYs
troops have encountered. AFrom this
careful study the reader learns that
the long slope reaching up to the crown
of the elevation over which assailants
must march is thW glaciers. If shot
and shell spare them in this march
they must face musketry fire from de-
tenders on the banquette, a sunken
bench where men stand to take aim
across the crest Of the glacis.
IF the assailants are likely to over
come the defenders of the banquette
these drop back into q covered way or
tunnel, passing unframed to the in
terror works of the fort. Through this
covered way help may come from the
interior to the men on the banquette,
or after the banquette has been surren-
dered to the assailants the garrison
may make sorties through the covered
way and dislodge them If they can.
But If the assailants cross the ban
Quette and control the covered way the
ditch is theirs that is to say, it is then
under their guns sand the defenders
cannot live there
The side of the ditch nearest the
glacis and banquette is the counter
scarp. It is perpendicular and from
fifteen to twenty feet high. The ditch
is sixty to 100 feet wide, according to
the dimensions Of the work, and it's
bed is swept by bullet and shell fire
from caponnieres narrow works pro-
jecting at intervals from the main
walls Of the fort into the ditch, forty
to eighty feet. The caponnieres must
go before the assailants can cross the
ditch to climb the escarp, secondary
glacis, sleeper, than the first. The crest
Of the escarp is crowned by the parapet
or rampant of the fort proper, from
which the defenders have clear range
over the escarp, ditch, counterscarp and
glacis. From the base of the first
glacis to the parapet the distance may
be 300 to 500 feet. Although the gla-
els, banquette, covered way, ditch and
caponnieres be carried by assault or
by tunneling or by exploding mines,
there remains the second glacis to
mount, the parapet and little forts
within the big fort still to conquer.

THE Kenosha and Lake Geneva
Electric railway can get franchise
under it's own name on reasonable
terms by making application to the
city council. If it waits for the Park
City company to be given a franchise
it will have to wait a long time unless
that company modifes its demands
considerably. Kenosha wants road
built to the western part of the county
but there is such thing as paying
too high price even for what the
city wants.

THE proposal of the postmasterge1

THE proposal of the postmaster gen.
era1 to establish a parcels post for the
benefit of the patrons of the rural mail
routes and to grant a rate of three
cents a pound on matter mailed at
any point on route for delivery to
any other point on the same route, is
one that should receive the early at
tention of congress. Such rate
could be put in force with no expense
to the department and the revenues of
the rural routes would greatly in
crease under it. The rural free de-
livery branch of the postoffice depart
ment is responsible for most of the
annual deficit of the postal service,
but it is the belief of the postmaster
general that if the cheaper rate is
granted business will so increase on
the rural routes as to make them
nearly self supporting. The change
would be a good thing for the local
merchants as well as the farmers, and
there does not appear to be any
reasonable objection to the plan.
Sooner or later the department will
have to establish parcels post for
the whole country, and the rural
routes are good places to experiment
while system of cheap transporta-
ton of merchandise through the mails
is being worked out.
