In the last hours of congress Sem ator Tillman made final attack on the pipe line amendment and paid back in a measure some of the things he had suffered earlier in the rate fight when the so called Allison amendment" was accepted. He said that the Allison amendment was the place where the big stick and the pitchfork parted company. He want ed to do something for the people and to break down the monopoly the Standard oil Go had fastened on the country, but he said that he had been left alone on the firing line and that all the threats of what was immedi- ately to be done to the oil monopoly has now turned to what was to be done to it at some future date when the prosecutions instituted by the de- partment of justice were completed. Thus, he said, the farce went on. the people were fooled and the promise was always of what was to be done tomorrow while there was never any accomplishment to show for the work to-day.

Arrangements have been practiC

Arrangements have been practical ly completed for the press match at Sea Girt during the National Rifle association matches. The National Rife association and the national board for the promotion of rife prac- tice have set aside sufficient funds to provide for five cash prizes. As a consolation for the journalists who are not we'll up in rife shooting, Shooting and Fishing. the we'll known New York sporting publication. which has always taken great inter est in the subject of military. rife practice. has offered a silver loving cup to the newspaper man making the smallest score. It is expected that a leading metropolitan newspa- per will donate the first prize. which will probably he handsome gold watch. unless the paper should make the match a permanent feature. in which case a trophy will be provided which will remain in the possession of the paper represented until the next annual meeting of the National Rife association. when 1t will again be contested for.

propriation bills most of the time of both houses has been devoted to the railway rate and the joint statehood questions. At no time in the history of the country has president been more in evidence in shaping legisla- tion than during the session of con- gress just closed. From the very be- ginning MT Roosevelt has endeavored to dominate and to force congress to accept his views on almost every question. In the main the house has been subservient to his wishes, but the senate has been disposed to think and act for itself. By the strenuosity shown in his messages it would be thought that the very prosperity of the country, if not the salvation of republican government, depended upon speedy and very radical legisla- tion in regard to railway rates. Nothing but the very extreme of rad realism would suit him. It mattered not whether the proposed legislation was in form to pass the constitution al test, his vehemence in his mes sages and his dictum to members of congress was along the order that his wishes were greater than the con stitution. He forced his views on congress in season and out of season, and many of the presidents old time friends have lost faith in him.

civilian to enlist. All readily admit there is little purpose for the great majority in the service. In most Eu- ropean countries all able-bodied young men conscientiously go through two or three years of mili- tary training, with scarcely any re- muneration, and they would deem it a crime to attempt to avoid 1t. But our principles in that regard are for tunately different. In time of peace the spirit of patriotism in this coun- try does not seem to be very actuat- ing, notwithstanding the strong speeches often made in its favor by those high in authority. "Experi- ence," which also suggests spirit of adventure, is ordinarily the mo- tive alleged by young men, and that is perhaps the one thing which proves most worth while to many, and that in several ways. No one will deny the good results of the military school. Moreover, 1t seems necessary for some of us to be away from home for a certain time to realize that there existed reciprocal love there; to be far from friends to learn their value and duly appreciate the pleas antness they add to our daily life. In short, happiness is not merely the possession of liberty. home with dear inmates, kind friends with whom to spend our days and the other blissful things of this world, but just appreciation of them all as we'll as their possession, and this is beyond doubt often one happy se- quence of that experience" To use the common saying. it helps greatly to bring one to his senses.
 The writer has not cared to con- tradict the number of prejudices that often prevail against the army as whole. May 1t suffice to repeat, in conclusion, the oft made and correct statement that the army is no place for the vicious and unruly, as they seldom stay in it long and while they do they fare very poorly: and that the better one conducts himself the more esteem it will bring him from all those connected with the service

The navy department has not yet acted on the resignation of Captain Robert Wynne, son of the consul gen. eral at London. The court martial that tried young Wynne for insubor- dination in the marine corps ordered his dismissal, but this was suspend ed by the president to allow him a chance to resign. This we'll meant clemency, for MT Wynne, the father, is close friend of the president, went for naught, as young Captain Wynne telegraphed his resignation without even waiting to hear of the presidents order, evidently hoping to beat his dismissal to the depart ment. a..

It is proposed by this government to place the seal directly under the protection of the United States-to make him, to all intents, an Ameri- can citizen. This will enable the United States to afford the seal pro- lection in the open ocean and permit this government to put an end, by force if necessary, to pelagic sealing. It is realized that 1t is imperative, if the seal herd is not to be destroyed absolutely, that some such step as this be taken. To prepare finally the case of this government, Edwin Sims, solicitor of the department of commerce and labor, will visit the Pribilof Islands this summer to gath CT and compile information concern ing the seal herd. He will be absent until about the first of September, when he will return to Washington to make his report before assuming his new duties as United States dis trict attorney at Chicago.
