THE WIRZ MONUMENT,

The Georgia Daughters of the Con-
federacy are hoeing a hard row with
their monument to Wirz. Angered at
the chilling view which the sensible
people of their own State took of their
fatuous and incendiary project, they
hotly proclaimed their intention to erect
the monument in Richmond
at once this walked up the Confeder-
ate veterans and the people of Rich
mond. Richmond, the Capital of the
Southern Confederacy, was too great
and dignified in its memories and mon
uments to be belittled by a memento
to wretched little prison-kccper. A
stone to a man whose sole claim to
fame was that he had starved to death
1900 Yankees would be most dis
paraSing companion piece to the proud
monuments to George Washington, r.
e. Lee. Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson
Davis. The thought was unendurable.
So the Confederate veterans have
warmly told the Georgia Daughters to
take their nasty little monument some
where off in the back country and set
it up. Too many far better men need
ed monuments in Richmond

electing Rev. DIR. Alexander Mann, OF
Trinity Church. Boston. who also de-
clined. the convention convened for the
express purpose, elected Rev. DR.. AL
fred Harding. of ST. Paul's Episcopal
Church. of Washington.
DR.. Harding accepted.
The Bishop-elect, the Rev. DR.. AL
fred Harding, came to Washington to
st. Paups Church, 23d and I streets
northwest, Feb. 10. 1887, from old st.
Pauls Parish in Baltimore. He was
born in BEooklyn, n. Y, in 1854, and
for several years was engaged in busi-
ness in that city. He entered Trinity
College in Hartford. Conn, in 1875,
and was graduated in 1879 as the vale
dictorian of his class. He then entered
the Berkeley Divinity School, Middle
town. Conn. from which he was grad
uated in 1882. In that year he also re-
ceived his degree of master of arts
from Trinity College. and was ordained
Deacon by Bishop Littlejohn, of Long
Island.
He served his Deaconate as Curate Of
Trinity Church. Geneva, N. Y. He was
ordained Priest In 1888, and accepted a
call to be first assistant in old st. Paul's
Parish. Baltimore. In 1887 he received
simultaneous calls to Trinity Church.
Wilmington, Del, and to ST. PauFs, irs
this city. He accepted the latter, and
Feb. 10 he will have served q years
as Rector of st. PauIs.
DR.. Harding is a scholarly, conserva-
tive man, much loved by his people. He
is not the pulpit orator that Bishop
Satterlee was. nor has he the wealth
that the late Bishop had, but he is a
thorogcing man of business, and 1t Is
thought that he will push to its early
completion the great Cathedral,
which is destined to be the great Epis-
copal Church of the United States The
Diocese of Washington includes Prince
George, Prince William and Montgom-
cry Counties, of Maryland, and the
District of Columbia.

BIG BROTHER TO AUSTRALIA.

one of the unexpected results of the
cruise Of the battleships was the over
powering enthusiasm of their reception
by the Australians. Our antiDodaI cou-
sins acted as if much prouder of our
magnificent fleet than we could our
selves be, and as glad to see the sailors
as If they were their owns sons and
kinsmen. Out Of the enthusiasm was
born song, which has taken possess
sion of the Australian drawing rooms,
theatcrs. concert halls, bar-rooms and
public meeting places. The song tells
how Brother Jonathan is visiting "The
Lonely Kangaroo" and that this means
that the Pacific must be kept clean
and free" The chorus runs:
We've got big brother in America.
Uncle SAINT Uncle Sam.
The same old blood, the same old
speech,
The same old songs are good enough
for each;
Wen all stand together, boys,
II the foe wants a fiutter or a fuss.
And were hanging out the sign
From the Leeuwin to the Line:
This bit o the world belongs to u.s."

JOSEPH STEWART, OF KANSAS.
a Man Who Has Risen From the Ranks
in the Public Service.

Joseph Stewart, recently appointed
Second Assistant Postmaster-G General, is
a native of Kansas, having been born
and raised at Humboldt, of that State.
He is one of the Government officials
who has won his line of promotions
wholly thru merit.
Mr.. Stewart is a man 4S years of age.
He was educated in the public schools
of his native State, the Lawrence (Kan.)
Business College and the George WASH
ingtOn University Law School, of this
city, from which latter institution he
received the degree of bachelor of laws
in 1884 and the degree of master of
laws in 1885. He is lawyer by pro-
fession. and a member of the bar of
the District of Columbia and of the
United States Supreme Court.
Mr.. Stewart was originally appointed
in the Civil Service from Kansas as
clerk in the Post Office Department in
1882. He was advanced in the service
until he resigned, in 1887, to take up

A very pretty fight is developing in
New York over the succession to Sena-
tor Thomas C. Platt, whose term will
expire March 3, 1909. He wants to be
reelected, and has the support of his
colleague, Senator Chauncey Depew, and
the old Regular" is, the faction
of the party which was dumped by the
reelection of Gov. Hughes. In those
ranks there is the cracking of a split,
owing to the ambition of Timothy c..
Woodruff for a seat in the Senate.
Whitelaw Reid seems to think he has
got all he wants out of the Embassy to
st James, and would like a change to
the quiet dignity of the Senate. The
element which actively supported
Hughes and President Roosevelt are
earnestly in favor of Secretary Root,
and his candidacy commends itself so
well to the best people in the State that
his chances seem far better than any
other mans.

James Reagin, Bloomfield, Iowa, be-

under Cleveland's Administration there
was law enacted which did Justice to
a small number of pensioners who had
been struggling for it for 80 wears, This
was a pension of $50 month for total
deafness, with less ratings for partial
deafness. When the Republicans came
into power in 1908 they raised the pen
sion for total deafness to $40 a month,
but refused to make any addition to
the allowances for less degrees of deaf
ness.

The sentence of Chas. W. Morse to
l5 years hard labor in the penitentiary
is startler to the predatory financiers
who strive to get rich by gambling with
other peoples money. Morse is far the
largest fish yet caught by the net of
Justice, and his severe sentence was as
unexpected as, its effects will be salu-
tary. Morse did with the National
banks what Hartman did with the
railroads. He used the money of one
bank to buy the controlling stock Of
another, and SO on. until the depleted
banks went down and precipitated the
panic Of last year. Alfred Fl. Curtis,
ex-President Of the National Bank. one
of the banks wrecked, was let off more
easily, with d sentence of five years,
which was Suspended. It was said in
mitigation that Curtis felt that he was
acting under orders, and believed that
Morse was very rich man, who would
protect the bank from. all harm. Those
who are constantly moaning that there
is no law or justice against the rich
are reminded that this king of finance
was given much seyerer sentence than
is usually meted out to those who take
other mems lives or burn down their
