What Astonished General Sherman.

What Astonished General Sherman.
Written expressly for The Washington Herald.l
BY DIR. Z. J. EDWARDS.
One afternoon. when in the company
of several of his friends at the Union
League Club of New York City, Gem
eral Sherman spoke of one of the
most extraordinary and astonishing
experiences OF his entire life. He re-
ferred a. first incidentally to the fact
that il was he who sent the first mes
senger TO Washington with the in
formation for the government that
gold had been discovered in California.
He was at that time stationed in Cal
ifornia. He said that he had person
ally witnessed a good deal of pros
pecting, some of which took place be-
fore the civil war. but the greater
part of it after the war ended. He
thought that prospectors had scaled
all the mountains. driven their picn-
axes in about every place that looked
promising, and he was persuaded I'M
Ill about the year 1854 that all of the
great discoveries of mineral wealth
had been or were about to be made
in the Rocky Mountain region and in
the States of the Pacific Coast
But | learned TO my astonish
ment." said General Sherman. that
very great and a very important
discovery was made near the headwa-
tiers of the, Ohio River only a few
years ago. i was visiting Pittsburgh
a year or so ago and was told some
thing which amazed me. They told
me that good deal of the manu-
featuring done in Pittsburgh was
made possible through the utilization
of natural gas. / had heard vaguely
of natural gas, but had, little idea Of
what it was. and l was so much in
terested in what they told me that
asked for an explanation. They told
ne that after boring into the earth
for a distance of about fifteen hun
dred feet the rock was reached which
is the same kind of rock found where
petroleum exists. / may not have the
details exactly right, but l am sure
of the main facts, which were that
men drilled about fifteen hundred feet
into the earth and then reached Won
derfur fields of natural gas. They
learned how to capture this. and l be-
lieve they enrich il in an artificial
way, hut the chief point is that out
of the bowels of the earth there
comes a gas of which there seems to
be an inexhaustible supply and which
can be utilized for creating energy or

Deeds Of 4 Fanatic.

The discovery that the attempt to assassi-
nate Mr.. J. P. Morgan and the bomb explosion
at the Capitol were perpetrated by the same in
dividual, fanatic and not the representative or
tool of dangerous organization, must bring a
sense of relief to the country. In this time of
war, when human passions surge beyond con-
troll and men once friends have become enemies,
apprehensions justified and precautions inn
perative. But to all appearances, the man who
startled the country twice in twelve hours is of
a type not very different from the assassns whose
deeds have changed the country's history in the
past. A vague, perverted notion of serving cause
by violence inspired him and upset his mental bal
ance as in the other cases, which resulted more
seriously. 1t remains for the aenists to determine
whether he was sufficiently to realize the ma
ture OF his crimes and justify the law in making
example of him.
No means, of course, will be neglected in the
effort to ascertain how and where he obtained the
peculiarly destructive explosive found in his posses
sion. 1t is not impossible that this knowledge
may give some new aspect to the crimes, even
though the perpetrator appears to have acted
alone.
1t is we'll to consider, too, the extent to which
a disordered mind may have been influenced by
the agitation, not wholly confined to the irrespon-
sible or those deeply interested by reason of
nationality, against the shipment of arms from
this country to the belligerent nations Some
Americans in high places have arraigned those in
control of their countrys government for not
prohibiting such shipments and thus, by violating
its neutrality, influencing the outcome OF the war
Hatred has deluged Europe with blood. Patriot.
ism should deter Americans from a course tending
to arouse it-at home.

Il think that this was the most
astonishing piece of information that
I ever received relating to the de-

it came to me as a perfect surprise.
I was not astonished when l heard

long been suspicion that there were
rich deposits of gold in California,
and l think some had been found
not much-near Los Angeles. But to
think that out of the bowels of the
earth there should come a steady
stream of actual gas. perfectly adapt
able for fuel. and that the discovery
should only have been made a few
years ago seemed to me to be the
most astonishing thing that j learned
about the material resources of the
United States.

"To be called straight Republican is no longer
term Of rcproach offensc among voters in
this country" Senator Pcnrose is quoted as say
ing. Republicans indifferent to the clamor
about 'bourbonism' or 'rcactionism' 1t doesn't
mean anything. The Republican party will nomi-
nate for President a who is sound on the
protective tariff and sane in his view of business
conditions, and will carry every State north of
Mason and Dixons line" A great many straight
Republicans will appraise the Senator's last as
sertion over optimistic, because they regard
President Wilson as perhaps little stronger now
than at any time in his administration. And of
that strength Mr.. Bryan contributed no small
share.

by former Postmaster General Hitchcock have

Washington mail carriers December I. By that
date Mr.. Hitchcock will have been out OF office

made by commission appointed so long ago GER
