that something should be done 10

House REFUSES PROMOTION
TO GENERA Al SICKLES-

The House has refused to promote
Mai. Gen. Daniel Z. Sickles, retired, 10
the rank of lieutenant general After
a long debate, in which the members
discussed in detail the achievements OF
General SioElles as 3 corps commander
in the civil war, the measure for his
promotion vas voted down.
Something Is to be said on both sides
of the question Of promoting General
Sickles- In the debate, 1t was said,
among other things, that he was the
s-reaI hero Of the battle Of Gettysburg, .
and that war experts the world over
had so testified. While this is open to
argument, there can be no question of
the valuable nature Of the services Of
this volunteer officer IN the great bat
tie On the other hand, it is pointed
out that there are something like forty
major generals, active and retired, IN
the United States army today, and TO
promote General SiclIles would lead to
a great clamoT for other promotions.
It can also be argued with force that
the grade of lieutenant general ought 90
be reserved only Tor those officers who

From the lackadaisical land where
the cypress and myrtle symbolic the

long by his obdurate and suspicious
brother. who Is taking the rest cure
not far from the little end OF the
Golden Horn, that he probably presents
case OF arrested development He
was so busy contriving means Of es-
cape that he hadn't time to grow up
until he became comparatively an old
man.
Now. IN the midst Of cares OF state,
with reactionaries thirsting for his
blood. and the Bulgarians littering up
the backyard, he has got TO run the
gamut OF childish maladies. We infer
that he has passed through the teeth
ing period, for his brother gave him
some hard nuts to crack, and he crack
ed them. He has had 70 nurse sore
toes, for early in life he stumbled at
the very foot OF the throne. But what
ever else he may have caught or evaded,
he skipped the measles, and now he Is
all broken out. He must undergo the
advice OF those benevolent tyrants,"
like Lady Sheepshanks, who tell him
what he mustn't do if he expects 70

JAMES R. GARFIELD ON THE
TARIFF QUESTION.

James R Garfield, former Secretary
Of the Interior, in a speech IN Des
Moines several nights ago, declared the
tariff fight had only begun. Speaking
before one of the strongest Republican
organizations Of Iowa, a State where
there Is bitter war between the pro
gressTves and standpatters, Mr. Gar
field took the side Of the progressives-
He asserted the nation Is facing po-
litiCal conditions more dangerous than
any since the civil war. brought about
by the fact the wealth Of the country
has been growing at tremendous rate.
and no adequate attempt has been made
TO control II, resulting in much evil in
industrial life AIr. Garfield said:
The fight in the approaching campaign
involves the recognition Of special inter
ests or the interests Of the public. The
only great action OF this Congress is on
the tarlT question, and II anyone thinks
IL IS settled, he is mistaken. The party
pledged tariff revision downward. The
evidence IS not al in, but Il appears that
the revision was not downward in the
sense conveyed by the pledge
Mr.. Garfeld's utterances are entitled
to be given weight. He was not only
a trusted member Of the Roosevelt
Cabinet with a clean record. but as
the head of the Bureau Of Corporation
for some years he acquired q familiarity
with the industrial organization of the
country such as few men have had the
chance TO obtain.
It IS clear that Dir. Garfield Is right
in emphasizing the perplexing nature Of
political conditions. The problem Of
dealing with the great corporations and
combinations Of the country is one OF
the most serious the nation ever had
TO face Congress thus far has sat al
most helpless before it. The edges Of
the question this session have barely
been touched, and probably VIZ not
be n.this Congress Meantime. political
unrest grows apace- Far from re
moving the tariff question from politics.
the action Of the special session of
Congress last summer has made It
more acute than ever. as the late re-

PHILOSOPHY OF SENATOR
CHAUNGEY Vi. DEPEY.

Senator ChsUncey N. Depew OF New
York has Just celebrated his seventy
sixth birthday. He attended the an
nuaI dinner given by the Nontauk Club
Of Brooklyn. IN his honor, and gave an
after-dinner speech that teens with en-
pertaining philosophy Whatever fault
one may find with Senator DePew with
respect TO his views on public qUes-
tions. II has To be admitted that he
has deserved the wide reputation he
has acquired as an after-dinner speaker
and as an orator. For man OF bis
years, he Is rarely vel preserved, and
SO the philosophy that has borne him
along TO an age far past the allotted
span, Is worth examination
Senator Depew on his seventy-sixth
birthday was able reverently TO thank
God both that I am alive and have
lived and TO give thanks for a long
life, Astounding in good things, in a
capacity for enjoying everything, IN
reciprocal attachments and cOutribu-
tons with multitudes Of men and
women, IN more than my share Of
health and OF happiness"
Fifty-four years IN public and semi
public life and upon the platform all
over this country and ID Europe for al
sorts Of objects IN every department Of
human interest, as Senator Depew said,
have given him a larger acquaintance
than almost anybody living In this
connection he said
The sum Of observation and experience
growing out Of this opportunity Is that,

troubles, and barring accidents and
plaques. the man who dies before
