trying to take advantage of serious mo-
ments for this administration, it looks
very much as if, as we have said in a
previous issue, there is well defiuod
plan and plot laid down to discredit not
only the army and navy, but the admin
istration as well. The people saw one
man whom they held as a popular idol
for many years retire under fire, and
they will have an opportunity not SO
many moons from now to gaze III a SIM
liar way upon some who are criticising
those in charge Of our army and navy
and trying to cut the ground from be-
meath their feet, and in other ways cast
ing contumely upon their honest efforts.
Political opportanism is one thing but
untimely criticism Of the most important
arm of the government service after
years of Republican control shows, to
our minds at least, rather unwise dis
elimination. Sixteen years Of Republi-
can administration Of our navy, accord
ing to the critic tables of proportion,
should have produced mighty different
results.

Tor Frederick County, all of which property
descended to and vested in the said Cathe-
rlne 4. Bentz as heir at law of the said

The Bill further alleges that it would be
to the benefit and advantage of the COM

ed pursuant to the terms of said Will of the
