Thomas is growing man. His influence
Is already extended far beyond the bounds
of his district. His studIous habits. his
custom OF getting together all the In
formation possible on every subject that
comes up and his ability to use 1t when
the time comes. and his tireless energy
in behalf OF any measure which he may
espouse. In addition to his native abili-l
ties, will continue to tell. He has always
been opposed by strong men for Congress,
hut he has always won by big majorities.
Thomas gives good account OF himself
wherever he Is fo,s,d. He may be found
in the Senate some day. or In the State
House at Raleigh. In either place he
would prove himself worthy OF the con-
fidence reposed in him by his people.

Saving Crumbs Feelings.

unquestionably powerful influences of
press and prominent men have been dill
gently and even desperately at work to
avert this blow at the chairman. Great
effort has been expended In bringing
pressure to bear on the General Assem-
bly, to save Judge Crump from further
humiliation. Action by tho Bar Associa-
ton of Richmond came first, followed
fby partially successful efforts to secure
similar action by the bar of other cities,
and finally business organizations were
appealed to and powerful personal in
fluence exerted to stimulate sentiment In
his behalf. While we do not know 1t to
be the fact, we suspect that the Legisla-
ture has been given assurance that the
commissioner will resign and that It
would therefore be unnecessary to hui
initiate him further. His counsel intl-
mated as much. during the inquiry, and,
II he be the man Of spirit he Is credited
with being, he will not be content with
this quasi vindication.
The feature to which we most object
in the minority report and one In which
It differs from the majority report Is In
the ,gratutous. though parenthetIcal
criticisms of Clerk Upshur by Mt Sears,
who makes the report. Ho was not an
issue in the investigation in any way,
and the reference to his vanity and ex-
aggerntion OF conditions was probably
necessary to extenuate the indiscreton
OF the chairman. Mr.. Upshur, In our
opinion, deserves the commentator OF
the people or Virginia for his manly
courageous course and his keen sense OF
honor and propriety Mr.. Sears himself
may with equal Justice, be characterized
as vain In setting up his opinions In
opposition to that of majority OF his
colleagues on the committee,

The plan for establishing a sys-

war ships appears to have been
abandoned. A board detailed more
than year ago, composed of three
naval officers, including one of the
medical corps, has been unable to
come to an agreement upon a meth
cd of instruction. A tentative text
book was provided, but nothing has
been promulgated to the service,
and, indeed, the board itself has
reached no final conclusions and
submitted no report to the navy de-
partment. This has excited con-
siderable comment in the service,
for the reason that the president
took personal interest in athletic
work in the service, and special pro-
visions were made for the instruc-
tion Of all cadets at West Point
and midshipmen at Annapolis. The
president found that, while the SOL

NEW YORK, March 31,-There
is considerable talk in army circles
of the propable appointment Of
Major General J. F. Wade, now on
duty at Governors Island, as COM
handing officer of the Atlantic Dir
vision, to the position of Lieutenant
General and his retirement as such
when Gen. Bates goes On the retir-
ed list next month and before Gen.
Corbin is appointed. General Wade
is doing nothing to that end, his
friends say, but he will probably
feel that he has failed to receive
due recognition of a long service If
he goes on the retired list as a ma
jor general. The service is inte-
rested in the event, since it gives
the chance of promotion all along
the line and enables the appoint
ment Of another major general and
another brigadier general, in which
case it is likely that Gen. J. Frank
lin Bell will become a major gen.
eral before he assumes the duties
of shief of staff.
