have rejuVenated one OF the Oldest and most valIed

vine In this country, except such as has been i'm

been retained In wine cellars for many years But
the records OF the wine growers OF the island W
Madeira tell a different story. Last year sONn0
gallons % wine were exported from Madeira, Of
which 1890 gallons were shipped to this country.
Prior to 1851 Madeira was a popular drink In
this country as well as In Englsnd. and It's tonic
mitted. As spirtuous as sherry, but possessing
. more delicate navor and aroma. II had a large
popularity among wine drinkers.
In 1851 a blight called oidium fell upon the vines
OF Madeira and practically destroyed them all.
From that date "old Madeira came IN greater de.
mand. for there was little new Madeira little that
was genuine. Then for many years shipments
from this island almost ceased. until CRAFTS from
American vines. Catawba especially. were used
TO restore the growth and replace those which had
persisted from the oIdium. BY degrees Madeira

OF that much mAliGnsd class, business women. the

erroneous idea as TO the motives which induce
women thus to offend. for most Of them take up
a business career solely as a means Of support,
and not a few also take care Of other members Of
their family.

Whether or not the Hon. WINSTON
CHURCHILL is nominated for Governor by
the New Hampshire Republicans tomorrow,
he has cracked a great many heads, includ-
ing that Of our old friend DR.. JACOB GAL
LNoER, and injected fear into the machine.
II ne is not nominated by the Republicans
there is no good reason why he shouldn't
run as an independent candidate; and this
ia a particularly independent year and
country. Mr.. CHURCHILL is an excellent
~campaigner. He is only IS; he is rich by
the labor of his hands; he is good looking,
copious Of vocabulary, thoroughly per-
suaded Of the diabolism Of his opponents,
and he knows how to stir up the animals.
We wish him we'll. We wish well to all
novelists who jump into politics. For one
thing. it keeps them, temporarily at least.

railroads. This practically means that we

this is about the same as the valuation OF sH
the capital engaged in manufacturing In the
country, sothat II the owners OF the railroads..

should it listen to the demands Of the

CAPTAIN Per.hIng,s Promotion.

Captain JOHN j. PERsHING Of the Hf-
teenth Cavalry, whom the President has
promoted to the rank. Of Brigadier-
General over the heads OF 257 Captains,
364 Majors, l3l Heutenant-C Colonies and
40 Colonies, OF So2 officers having prece-
dence Of him on the army list, is now
military attache at the American En-
bassy at Toxic. Captain PERsHINo is
a son-in-law Of Senator WARREN, chair
man Of the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs, and the relationship will doubtless
be pointed out by those who find the pro-
motion MOTTO their taste, or unwarranted,
as evidence that Captain PERsHING vas
not singled out for the distinction on his
merits. This view, however, would do
a grave injustice to President ROosK-
WELT, who was attracted by Captain
PERsHINa's soldierly services in subdu-
ing the MOros in Mindanao and decided
TO advance him at the first opportunity.
Under the law the President could not
bestow the rank Of Colonel upon Captain
PERsHING and had no alternative but to
Jump him over the heads Of eos officers OF
superior rank and admit him to the select
company Of Brigadier-G Generals, of whom
there are fourteen in the army.
or the appointment there will be a
great deal of honest criticism in and out
Of the army. Not WooD, or BELL, or
FUNSTON. or MILLS, when they were
promoted, passed so many ranking
officers. There could be 10 justification
for making Captain PERsHING a Briga-
e General but the character Of his
services in the field. He had the good
fortune to hold an independent COM
mand in the Lake Lanao country in 1908,
and in several conflicts with rebel Moros
won decisive victories, killing a great
many of the enemy and mourning slight
losses. He succeeded in pacifying the
Moros as much by his tact in negotia-
tons with them as by his operations in
the field. Most Of the officers to whom
Captain PERsHING has been preferred
have never held independent commands,
and none Of them perhaps has had
an equal opportunity to distinguish
himself in the Philippines or elsewhere.
They may have capacity as great. but
his n achievement has caught the eye
of the President.
Was it such a splendid and meri-
torious deed as to stamp this Captain
of cavalry as of the stuff of which Brig
adler Generals should be made. in
violation Of the tradition Of seniority
and at the expense Of officers whose
efficiency may fairly be presumed?
