AFTER DINNER POLITICS.
when Fremont Went 10 ths senate.
by Dr. z. J. EDwARDs.

BY Or. z. j. EDWARDS.
september g. 1850. California was ad-
mitted as a State OF the Union No other
territory within so short a time after
territorial organization achieved State
hood. There was one member OF the
United States Senate who was especially
Tejoiced when Cahfornia's star was add
ed 10 the nag Of the United States. He
was Thomas Hart Benton, for many
years United States Senator from Mis-
souri, Senator Benton was q rugged
statesman of the old-fashioned Demo
cratic school He believed In sound
money "coin" or bullion" For that rea-
son the nickname which he did not dis
dain was given TO him. so that he was
commonly known as "Old Bullion"
But there was one thing, perhaps, dear
er to his heart than any other propos.-
ton with which he was associated while
serving in the United States Senate
The brilliant young pathfinder. John c.
Fremont. had gained the heart and hand
OF Benton's accomplished and beautiful
daughter, Jessie, and there was some Sc
cret romance associated with the en-
gagement after the marriage The old
Senator took the young South Csrolin-
ian to his heart, and II was largely due
10 Benton's efforts that Fremont was
able 10 make al least one of the exploT-
ing expeditions which gave him the name
of pathfinder and whose romantic
achievements brought to him the nonni-
nation Of the Republican party for Presi-
dent In 1S46.
Strong Democrat as he was. and repre-
senting border State. as he did for many
years, nevertheless Benton supported
the resolution authorizing the admission
OF California TO the Union as a free State.
Senators suspected that lurking in the
grand old Democrats mind was the hope
that II California were admitted to the
Union he would be able TO welcome his
son-in-law. John c. Fremont to the
Senate chamber. II that were his hope.
II was realized Fremont was the first
Senator chosen by the California legis-
lature, although for the short term. The
Senators were intensely interested when
the handsome, celebrated explorer and
pathfinder was greeted by his father-in-
law. the veteran Senator. on the day
when the credentials Of Fremont were
presented to the President pro tempore
Of the Senate.
After Fremont had taken the oath Of
Senator. he thought It worth while to
take a seat beside his distinguished ia
ther-in-law. and they sat for some mo-
ments in earest conversation, which was
frequently interrupted by Senators who
came to Fremont for the purpose Of well
coming him 10 the Senate
At one time father and son occupied
seats in the Senate-Senator Dodge Of
Wisconsin and his son, Senator Dodge
of Iowa At another time. a son. Daniel
Cameron, took the seat IN the Senate
which had been vacted by his father,
but up 70 the time OF the admission Of
Fremont to the Senate there had been no
case when a fsrher-in-law and Son-in-
law were at the same time members of
the Upper HoI=r

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS
Best Service Column in City.

Study of the detailed reports upon
firing tests by the new battleship
Pennsylvania have convinced ordnance
onicers and gunnery experts of the navy
that the three-gun turret is "a marked
success.
This verdict was predicted when the
Pennsylvania, with a broadside Of her
l4-inch guns, set a worlds record by
landing hve hits out of twelve in a
target 1900 yards distant
Now, however, the final reports upon
the test are at the Navy Department.
and these have strengthened the
opinions Of officers into a firm conviction
that the three-gun turret is here to stay.
Officers at the New York Navy Yard
have denied the report that defects of
serious character have been revealed
IN the big guns of the Pennsylvania It
is stated by them that the heavy firing
accompanying the tests has caused a
slight disarrangement in the elevating
gear of the main turrets, a state Of
affairs which generally exists aboard new
battleships The Pennsylvania. unlike
other battleships. is equipped with
turrets having thre guns abreast instead
of two.
To insure perfect accuracy in firing,
the vessel was ordered TO the navy yard
to have adjustments made in the elevat-
ing gear, II is said the overhsultng will
be completed by October l, when the
Pennsylvania will steam from the yard
to take her place as flagship of the
Atlantic fleet. Certain alterations have
TO be made before Admiral Mayo hoists
his flag. Workmen are busy making
these alterations so as to have the ship
ready on time.
Action is to be taken by the War De
partment this week with reference to the
controversy over the relative merits of
machine guns for the United States
army Maj. Gen Leonarh Wood and
other army officers are quoted as saying
that the machine guns now in use by the
United States army-the old model Wick
ers and the Benet- Merciet or Spring
feld-are inferior. in their opinion TO the
machine gun invented by Col Isaac New
ton Lewis, U. S. A, retired. which is
now proving a success il the British
army.
Secretary Of War Baker hVs announced
that in a few days he will me- known
the steps he has decided to take with
reference to the machine-gun question.
I am familiar with the controversy af-
fecting the Lewis gun Secretary Baker
is quoted as saying. TT is one OF long
standing that has been the subject of
considerable discussion in Congress for
the last few years, and I have taken
steps with regard to 1t that soon will
be made public"
What form Secretary Bakers action
will take was not disclosed by him, but
it is apparent from what has been said in
army circles that the whole matter of
the adoption Of the best type Of machine
guns for the army has been reopened by
the appropriation by Congress of 81. .OOO.-
600 for the purchase OF these weapons.
Authority to expend this amount for
machine guns is carried in the annual
army appropriation bill. recently enacted.
The bill appropriates $4,000 for ma
chine guns for the regular army and s..
10000 additional for machine guns for
the National Guard.

By FRANK S. INGOLDSBY
Huge but uncouth the monster stands revealed
It's shame exposed, its boasted glory gone
Degraded, useless, senseless, greedy, ali
Insane, it shows US what it really is
Here does it grovel in a nosome trench,
It's head bent down, ITS wrlthlng form suppressed
And sPews its hOrrld heaps when it is struck:
There does it slink and hide; or steal upon
It's unsuspectlng victims, with intent
So low that only lowest beasts compare
And even these are not truly low
Since they have hunger to impel their deeds
While this mad monster has its food supplied
By tollng millions whose own children starve
To call it brutal shames the brutes, for no
Wild beasts do kill their kind in wantor lots
And It remains for man to breed this thing
OF infamy-this thing that kills its kind
In days gone by, this monster was ado-ed
Loved petted, housed in temples of re0oT-1
Bowed down to, worshipped, glorifed and ali
Cheered loudly when it strutted into view
Its votaries were clothed in pompous garb
The glitter Of their trappings masking we'll
The blood that stained them when their yvort
on, WI
And men were satisfied that might was RIGHT
As once they thought the earth was reallv Fs+
And that the gladiator was most brave
And that the duel marked high Honor's field
And that the prize ring made for manly men.
All these as children think that make-believe
Is truth, and never stop to question it.
What fools then, if we have wish to live
To nurse this monster which consumes our Erss
What tools to feed 1t with our choicest sons
So It may grow and shame the life we lead.

What will the war COST? This question has
been asked every day since the war began and
has not been answered fully. The cost can be
estimated only and the estimates must be only
approximations. These estimations usually are
made of the financial cost or OF the number of
men killed. Beyond the number of men the es-
timators seldom venture. What will England
have to pay for the men she loses? No man
knows. England like all the other nations in
volved, is losing the very cream Of her manhood
just few days ago a dispatch recanted the
death of a British lieutenant named RAYMOND
Asquith. He the son of one of England's
greatest men, young man Of great potential
value to the nation, yet the life he gave counted
for more in battle than the life of the poorest
most ignorant peasant. England is paying with
her most valuable young men, the backbone of
her existence, as the South paid in the civil war
Fifty years have passed since the civil war and
