"The young officers are longing for
war;" says a dispatch from Berlin.
That is precisely the danger of large
standing army and is the ground on
which many people oppose what is popu-
larly termed ''militarism 1.-The young
officers are longing for war;" naturally.
It opens to them the Only avenue of ad
vancement, the sole chance of promotion.
In country which maintains as large a
standing army as Germany, the influence
OF the young army officers extends
through society and plays large part in
shaping public opinion, so that it
must inevitably have an influence for
war whenever dispute arises with a
foreign nation.

Is competition in rates. The agents
compete fierce enough after business,

Gov. McMillin is quoted, and we have
reason to think correctly, as saying that
he intends to "cut Carmack's CUTS out"
IN this fight. The coarseness of such
language indicates feeling of bitter
ness on the part of Gov. McMillin which
seems to have gotten the better Of his
dignity. just why Gov McMiliu
should be so bitter toward Mr.. Carmack
and 30 sweet toward Mr. Taylor, we do
not know. 1t is true that Senator Car
mack espoused the cause Of bis venera-
BILE colleague. and did much to save him
from being defeated by Gov. McMillin;
but we have yet to hear that he did 1t
vindictively or unfairly. We do not be-
lieve that the people Of Tennessee regret
that Senator Bate was permitted to die
crowned with DONORS, instead of being
sent broken hearted and bumiliated 10
the grave. They are therefore not ready
to join with Gov. McNiIlin in his cam
paign of revenge. AS for Gov. Tay lor,
we submit that he does rot appear al
his best III combination with "a man
whom he has been denouncing for years
with the bitterest and most opprobrious
epithets. Gov. Taylor did more than
any other man to induce Gen. Bate to
become candidate for reelection.
Then he left Carmack to save him
from defeat while he formed compiua
ton with his enemies. Whether Gov.
Taylor suffered any wrong at the hand,
OF the last Legislature is beside the gu
tion. He suffered no wrong at Carmack
hands. Gov. Taylor had personally
pledged himself to support Frazier on
the death Of Bate; and he does not deny
il. We hardly think a man has any right
to complain that he was defeated by the
man he had promised to support, ard
especially vent his complaint by punish
ing an innocent man while leaving IN
touched the man by whom he claims to
have been wronged.

WORK OF AN AMATEUR
Attempt to Blow Up Statue of Fred
erick the Great to Create Sensation.

ertCk tne GREAT 10 Oredte SenSdtiOu.
Washington, Jan. 1l.-Somewhat of
a sensation was caused in this city by
the discovery of what appeared to be
definite and serious attempt to blow
up or deface the statue OF Frederick
the Great, given to the United States
by Emperor William, of Germany, and
erected in the arsenal grounds near
the Army War College. 1t was be-
lieved at first that a crank had made
q real effort at destruction of the
statue, but after a careful inveStiga-
ton the police officials say the ma
terial used was incapable of produc-
ing damaging results. All the evidence
so far secured, the police announced,
tends to show that the attempted eff
fort to injure the statue was puny
and amateurish to a degree. 1t is re-
garded as an attempt to work up
sensation. The police are making
thorough investigation. but thus far
have not discovered any clue as to the
identity of the perpetrator of the af
fair. the man who placed the bomb"
near the statue disappearing before
Identification. A hole in the soft mud
about six inches deep by six inches
wide and II inches long. shattered
window panes in nearby buildings. and
five or six splotches of yellow clay on
as many granite steps summed up
the damage done by the bomb. which
had been placed on high picket
fence surrounding the statue. An
analysis and examination of the bomb
shows the substance used had not suf-
ficient strength to wreck the fence.
One effect of the explosion was the
hurried building of small watch box
beside the statue, where Waterman
will be stationed all the time here
after.

FOUND STOLEN JEWELS

Mrs. Ambrose Clark, the daughter-in-
law of Mrs. Potter. the wife of Bishop
Henry c. Potter, which were stolen
from Fernleigh, at Cooperstown. the
Clark home. on July last.
Lodged in cell at police headquar-
tiers to await the arrival of Coopers-
town officers is William Coleman, the
major portion of whose 60 years have
been spent in penal institutions. Cole
man was arrested in this city on July
26 last for the theft and held by a
magistrate at Cooperstown until No
vember. when the grand jury failed to
indict him and he was set at liberty.
From the moment of Coleman's re-
lease in Cooperstown he was kept con-
stantly under surveillance. On jan
uary 3 he was seen to go to a brick
wall in West 15Sth street, where he
began to dig. as if anxious about some
thing buried there. Three or four
times afterward he was seen to dig
there and then go away. Detectives
examined the place and found a glass
fruit jar. wrapped in a piece of rubber
cloth. In the jar were a number of
small parcels tied up in soiled white
muslin, the largest of which contained
q pearl and diamond collar of fourteen
strands of gems. In the packages
were all the Clark jewels. with the
exception If a gold watch. gold pen
ell and small diamond ring. Cole
man was arrested near the spot where

SENATOR SHOOTS DEFENSE
Witnesses Called to Prove Mormon

Washington, Jan. 12-Testimony in
tended to prove that the Mormon mo-
rale is of the highest type. and to re-
flute the word of witnesses who have
declared the contrary to be true. was
offered by counsel for Senator Reed
Smoot. w. ]. Mcconnell, formerly a
United States senator from Idaho, and
twice governor of his state. and Repre-
sentative Burton l.. French. member
Df the present congress and reelected
for another term, were the witnesses.
1t was the opening session of the
defense in the Smoot investigation.
Senator Knox, a new member of the
committee. attended for the first time
There is a sentiment in the committee
in favor of pressing the investigation
to a conclusion. and with that end in
view it was announced that. beginning
today. longer sessions of the commit
tee will be held.
Both witnesses denied many state
ments directed against the Mormon
church and its alleged interference in
political affairs. Former Governor Nc
Connell said that the Gentle members
of the Idaho legislature have not as
high morals as the Mormon members,
and that if it were not for questions of
geography and knowledge of legisla-
tive needs, the interests of the state
would be better served by an entire
Mormon legislature.
In defense of the Mormons Mr.. Nc
Cornell said he considered the man
who took a plural wife and cared for
her and her children far better than
one who sustained unlawful relations
with a woman and abandoned her and
her children to the scorn of the world.
