Colossal Political Jumping Jack

If the Republican party really wishes
to spoil its chances of electing a gov
ernor this fall, all it has to do is nom
mate Chase ). Osborn. The good
people of this state should not be asked
to support such colossal jumping jack
as he. A man, while holding Office un-
der the guise of Republican, advised
his friends, first to work for the Bull
Moose candidate and before they re.
covered from their astonishment came
out Aat-footed for Wilson, has no claims
on the q. o. Z. and if the Republican
party should be SO misguided as to give
his candidacy any serious consideration,
it will make one of the greatest mistakes
any party ever did Clair Press.

A Merchant Marine in Sight.

The announcement from the White House yester-
day that the administration will advocate the spending
of S25oooooo for the purchase of steamships may
that the United States is at last to have mer-
chant marine. In any event, it undoubtedly is the
quickest way to remedy the congested condition of
trade caused by the European war.
The most important immediate result is that our
heavy debt abroad, which may amount to $2oooooooo
caused by the foreign selling of American securities
to be paid in wheat and other food products thus
saving gold. Foreign governments today prefer
food to gold, and unless there be hitch in the
proposition announced at the White House yesterday
it should be matter of but few weeks before this
condition is realized. Its effect upon the financial
situation in this country would be most beneficial.
As for the future, the expenditure may mean that
the American merchant marine will regain the high
place held by it and lost account of the civil war;
bring this about, because even England's commerce
suffer severely through the necessity of main
tanning her armament at the expense of trade.
The present has served to call attention to the
poor rank in commerce which the United States holds
In the last fiscal year outgoing and incoming for
eign commerce amounted to more than $4ooooooooo.
Nearly all of this carried by OF the imports,
aggregating SI6o7,oooooo more than ia per cent
was transported in American ships while only OIL per
cent of the S2ooooooooo exports out in Ameri-
can bottoms.
There is nothing in these figures. The same
story has been told since the civil war but it has re-
quired great crisis to bring the fact home that for
instance, one-fourth of our great wheat crop which
do not need is liable to waste on our hands while
foreigners stand willing to take more than We can
spare at what may become record prices
1t is vast field which awaits the United States
The aggregate of tonnage engaged in the American
foreign trade which entered and cleared at our ports
last year was 7ss487Ss tons of which American ships
supplied only Ios3o,453 tons.
The Senate Committee on Commerce and the
House Committee on Merchant Marine Immediately
should act what may prove to be the most impor-
tant legislation enacted IN years.

SUICIDE ADVISED BY DOCTOR.

A curlos letter from a physician was
read in the Paris courts at the hear
ing Of a case In which Pierre Juyin and
Jean Juillard. chemists, were charged
with the Illegal sale OF certain narcotics.
The letter in question. which was
signed by Doctor Gaudin, stated that
the writer had treated Nine. Delvigne-
DambrIcourt. in an effort to cure her OF
the drug habit After her use OF NOR
phIne and cocaine had been completely
stopped. Doctor Gauden made out for
her a prescription into the composition of
which black drop Cvinegar Of opium en-
tered. The letter concluded with the fol-
lowing curious sentence:
This prescription should be renewed
according to the needs Of Nine. Delvigne-
Dambricourt, and I advise her 10
continue with it, since she ffnds it suits
her. or II not TO have recourse to alb
sInthe or to suicide, which is. after all,
the best way to escape from all the
manias and miseries Of existence"
It was this letter which Mr.. Juvin ad-
vanced as his excuse for having supplied
Nine. Delvigne- Dambricourt with black
drops. The court. however. ordered both
Messrs Juvin and Julllard to pay a fine
OF 500 francs each.-Paris Herald.

Automobiles should offer every cooperation in
the enforcement of the regulation against glazing
headlights in the District The regulation writ
after careful experiments by District officials,
perments in the city streets and in the less congested
parts of the District. Automobiles were consulted
on its framing and it cannot be said to be unfair or
unduly harsh On the other hand it offers greater
security from accident to pedestrian horse driver and
automobiles alike. 1t is good regulation and should
be enforced.

The Suffrage Campaign.
phia Reoorc

Dispatches from Washington say that some suffra-
gist agtators are blacklsting members of Congress
who oppose the cause and will work for their defeat
1t appears that conference is to be held at Newport
R. l., by the Congressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage to forward the movement. There can be no
objection of principle to this It quite fair to fight
an opponent if the fight is made openly and on real
issues. But it may be doubted whether the campaign
is very wise. There are great many men in the
world who still opposed to suffrage and large
percentage of them just obstinate enough to rally
to the support of candidate sharing their views
whom dead set was made by the women. All these
men, it must be remembered, have votes, and the
women haven't-New York Sun.

Grant. The order to Sheridan TO destroy
subsistence in the Shenandoah Valley
expressly forbade the burning of houses;
on the contrary Grant enjoined that they
should be protected. In the Peninsula

Sheridan to do. II is legitimate ever to
destroy what supports an army. The
Confederates did 1t. II is strange that
more complaint should be made about
Sheridan burning wheat stacks than his
killing Confederate soldiers IN battle

circumstances under which he sert the
order. Grant had lately taken command
in Virginia and had moved on South. but
had left Mosby's command in Northern
Virginia and had never come in contact
with Il. He had read the fables in tho
newspapers about the way they conduct
ed war and no doubt believed that they
belonged to the class OF outlaws in tho
West who were not recognized by the
Confederate authorities. He acknowl-
edges his error in his memoirs. The way
that he treated Mosbys men afterward
shows what he thought OF them. No
doubt Grant at that time shared the
general opinion OF the North that Mos

There is an interesting piece OF his
tory connected with this horse borrowing
that has never been told. The officer
who commanded Mosby's men that day
was appointed TO office by Gen.
Grant. A Washington dispatch appeared
in a Boston paper criticising Grant about
the appointment. Mosby demanded the
authority for the accusation and wanted
the name Of the party and that he was
an employee in a department. Mosby
then requested the reporter to send a
dispatch for him to his paper-which he
did. The dispatch was-"Col MOsbv

Mosby then went to Gen. Grant and
told him the name Of the person in the
department who was the author Of the
dispatch. Grant wrote down his name
and in an 'nour he was fired out.

of lying between Germany and France She is not

success is much due to public sentiment as to the
threats of prosecution. Consumers generally are

pracicing rigid economy and curtailing their de-
mands, and interruptions dealers who had planned

Fifty years ago today Gen. Sheridan's
Army OF the Shenandoah. which after
a brief advance had fallen back from
Cedar Creek before the Confederate
force under Gen. Jubal A. Early. was
halted at CharIestown. a spot known to
every soldier as the place where John
Brown died.
Gen. Sheridan was now marking time,
awaiting developments in a situation that
he believed called for caution. he had
assumed the defensive by orders of his
superior, Gen. Grant. Both Grant and
Sheridan believed that Early had more
men in the valley than the Federals. This
belief had led to Sheridan's retrograde
movement after his first march against
Early. which had begun August 10 at
Harpers Ferry, and had ended August IS
with his Withdrawal from the vicinity Of
Cedar Creek. thirty miles farther south.
The Confederates had always had thet-
own way in the valley, and Grant was
determined that no false move should ell
danger his program for gaining perma-
nent supremacy.
Early had been re-enforced by Lee with
troops from Petersburg. Grant now pro-
posed to take a hand in the valley situA-
ton by making so vigorous an attack
upon Lee at Petersburg as to force him
to recall part OF the troops with Early.
Until he could do this, he wished SherI-
dan to remain passive.
The position taken by Sheridan at
Charlestown was behind an important
stream, the Opequon, along which he mad
posted his cavalry: but it was not the
strongest one in the lower valley. and
Sheridan was debating the advisabillly
of falling back few miles farther. TO
Halltown. in front OF Harpers Ferry.
Here he would be posted in an impregna-
BILE position, with each OF his TANKS pro-
tected by a river-the Shenandoah on tn
left and the Potomac on the highland
the rocky bulwark OF Maryland Heights,
with its heavy guns high in the air, at
his back His movement TO Halltown

The stay of the army in the vicinity
of Charlestown was particularly inter
esting to the soldiers. They found the
country delightful, with its wide fields
and pastures, its clear streams and
springs of cool water. its oak groves
and its bracing air.
The temptation to pillage that had
been presented to the weaker men In the
ranks was not experienced here, for the
country had already been stripped of its
crops and stock. The passing of armies
