is not talking much about himself these days, nor enjoy
ing what the Senate and press have to way about his work.
TIIE Hon. Benton McMillan, of Tennessee, and
the Hon. Bob Taylor from the same state were neither of
them elected to succeed Senator Bate who died in Wash
ington, from exposure on inauguration day. The twe
nun who failed of election were orators of that type peculi
ar to the South and known as florid. Governor Fraziei
who was elected to the Senate is supposed to be a plain,
b uut man, unlike the other two competitors he has never
bjen in Congress.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has a new source of wor
ry. Because of his having appointed several negroes to
office it is stated that the president is being besieged by
applications for position from other negroes. The Intelli
gencer will not assume that this is to be an emharassment
to the president, but it is an incident worthy of note. Ne
groes have a perfect right to aspire to positions, and it
would he difficult for them to annoy the president more
than Some white men have done.
THE anxiety of the express companies as betrayed
in editorials inspired and paid for appearing in various
large dailies would indicate that they are alarmed at the
probability of a parcels post law. Mr. Oortelyou, the
present Postmaster General has distinguished himself as a
safe adviser of three presidents and as a remarkably suc
cessful campaign manager. If he shall succeed in having
introduced and carried a bill for the establishment of a
parcels post system he will have triumphed over what ex-
Postmaster General Wanamaker said were the four iusep
erable obstacle to a parcels post in the United States,
namely the four express companies.
THE Isthmian Caual Commission composed of dis
tinguished civil engineers and an Admiral anil a General
appointed with high salaries, perquisites, honors and re
sponsiblities less than a year ago and commissioned by the
Presideut are now all to be retired. They have failed.
Multi headed commissions for a work like that must ever
fail. The chief men, Admiral Walker and General Dav
is, no doubt excellent men in their way and once able and
energetic men, are at least twenty-two years past the Osier
age of usefulness. Engineer Wallace is to he appointed
to the work. lie is young, energetic and above all has
done similiar work 011 the canal connecting Lake Michi
gan with the Mississippi, a work in magnitude scarcely
second to that of Penama. The country, it is thought,
will hear from him and his hundred steam shovels in the
next twelve months.
the session are made yet more strenuous by his activity in
getting invitations to the particular trip that his wife most
desires to make. The congressional junket is an expen
sive affair, but like most things that come high it is a good
thing. We take our congressmen from the people and if
tlicy have not been educated or broadened by travel the
best thing the country can do for itself and them is to
make travel possible for tlieni. Our legislators cannot
but make better laws for having outgrown their provin.
cialisms and there is no better or surer way to grow them
than by visiting and seeing other countries. A trip to a
foreign country may make a man whoop only the louder
for bis own country and declare that the United States is
good enough for him but he has found out at least there is
another country and another civilization and by the time
lie has forgotten the benighted condition of a people that
doesn't have hot corn bread or pie he has begun to re
member certain respects iu which that same benighted peo
ple is superior to ourselves. The experience is a good one
and one that in view of our expanding country. » few
more of representatives should have.-- It is to be deplored
that among our congressmen there are semi-professional
junketers who get in all the trips and whose wives and
daughters couut 011 an annual summer voyage at the ex
pense of the government, but this is one of the remediable
features of the ease. Let that be altered as soon as possi
ble but for the good of the country let the junketings go
on. Home keeping youth have ever homely wit.
THE BATTLE OF MUKDEN-
Ittft t* lo smoke still hovering over the bultle
|yl field of Mukden, tlie dead uncounted and tin
buried, and the fate of the fragment of Kuro
patkin's shattered army still undecided, it is too
curly to attempt to give to this tremendous conflict
its proper place in history. Even the strength of
the contending armies is to sonic extent as yet a
matter of conjecture, but tl ere are certnie 112 ets al
ready known which give to the ao-i.-s of actions
around Mukden a unique position in the annals of
warfare. Leaving for a moment the consideration 1
of the number of men engaged and the proportion'
of casualties, the peculiar relationships of the com-1
batants to the East and the West, and to the world's '
civilization, combine to make the batt.le of Mukden j
not only epoch-making for the East, but probably i
also worthy to rank with the decisive battles of the
world—with Marathon, Arbela, Chalons, Hastings, !
and with Waterloo.
Counting Liaoyang as merely preparatory— j
though on a magnificent and terrible scale—to Muk
den, the latter will bo recorded as the lirst battle in
which, meeting on comparatively equal terms, an
army of Asiatics has administered a crushing defeat
upon the intrenched forces of a European Power, j
Too much stress must not be laid 011 this racial
aspect of the case, for while at Mukden Mongol was
pitted against Caucasian, the former represented,
bv the strongest of historical anomalies, the most
advanced type of modern military and scientific
development, while Kuropatkin's armies stood in
many respects for conditions almost mediaeval. \et
the Russians had the prestige of a mighty empire
and a name that was feared and dreaded throughout
the length and breadth of Asia. In the fatuity and
blindness of his pride the Tsar may fight on and on,
but he received a blow at Mukden from which his
dynasty and people will not recover for genera
tions.
Mukden is also unique among modern battles
in the number of its combatants and the losses of
victor and vanquished. Greek annals record that
I,OS 7,000 men were engaged at Arbela, and that at
ISSIH more than one-fifth of the Persian army of
500,000 were killed or captured by the soldiers of
Alexander. Similar incredible legends about other
battles of the ancient world might be cited, but all
of these may be dismissed as too uncertain to be fit
material for comparison. There are ample data
from the wars of modern times, however, without
going into realms of fable, to show, if the cabled
estimates are anywhere near the truiii, that nearly
twice as many men faced each other in arms along
the Shakhe and the Hun as in the great battle of
Leipsic, in 1813, when Napoleon suffered a crush
ing defeat at the hands Of the Allies. Here 470,001)
men composed the opposing forces, antl the casual
ties are variously given as 21 and 20 per cent. If
it lie true that 900,000 men fought at Mukden, the
percentage of losses—accepting Japan's at 41,222
and Russia's at 130,000—was about 19 per cent., or
20 per cent, if the largest estimate of 200,000 Rus
sians killed, wounded and captured should prove
correct. These estimates, however, arc so dispro
portionate—B per cent, for the attacking forces and
30 to 47 per cent, for the vanquished—that they
mnst be discounted.
In tlio Napoleonic wars, in Prussia's operations
against Austria and France and in the American
Civil War there was no such concentration of con
temling armies as has taken place in Manchuria. Of
the first group, 200,000 fought at Jena and Auer
stadt; 200,000 at Bautzen; 280,000 at Wagram, aud
240,000 at Borodino. More tiian 400,000 men
lYumrtcrea rcsjioclivcYv!''' il!
our own war in the 00s a vastly greater number of
men were under arms, but only 122,519 Union and
Confederate soldiers fought at Antietam, 178,000 at
Fredericksburg, 190,000 i>t Cbancellorsville and
1(57,000 at Gettysburg. At the last-named battle
the proportion of losses was far greater than at
Mukden, but not the aggregate; and this is the case
with others of the great battles of history. This
seems to prove the oft-repeated claim that, awful as
has been the slaughter in Manchuria, the ratio of
killed and wounded has decreased with the improve
ment of modern weapons.
COAL is to be reduced fifty cents a ton the first of
April. The lee Trust will take care to keep the house
holder from pocketing the difference.
ARE STANDING PAT
HAT the element in congress opposed to any
change whatever in the tariff laws at this time
or any time in the future, is still quite confi
dent of being able to perpetually hold the power to
make the tariff schedules unchangeable, is shown by
the words of some of the leaders recent! v.
" All this talk about putting a duty on coffee
and tea and increasing the internal revenue tax on
beor is nonsense. It probably originated from the
same source as the story about an increase in the
preside,it's salary. There is no necessity for chang
ing the present revenue raising laws in order to get
more money. The treasury has plenty of money
as things are."
This statement was made by Representative
Payne, chairman of the house committee on ways
and means. Chairman Payne says there is no oc
casion for the business world to give itself uneasi
ness over stories of tariff legislation printed at this
period of the year. That matter, he explained, was
settled for the time being at the conference at the
White House during the recent session of congress
Since then eaders in the house and senate have giv
en no attentit nto the siibjoct. Spaculation abo it
possible changes indulged in by outsiders is of little
consequence in the judgment of Chairman Payne.
'■l believe that the revenues and receipts will
balance each other next year and there will bo no
deficit by July, 190(i. Ilence, there will be no need
to tinker with tha laws in order to raiso more r.vj
nue."
THIS country received seven thousand more im
migrants this year than last. And still wo here the cry
that every family must have three and one-half children
to maintain the population at its present numbers.

known in every corner of the county; they have J
been tried and found faithful and true ; they are'
staunch, old Democrats in politics but are non-par-!
tisan when in office ; they are encircled by hosts of |
Republican friends, and would add honor and i
strength to any party ticket.
It is quite unlikely that they will enter the
great contest alone, and neither should it bo so.
Each man who has the ambition to aspire to public
office stands tho same chance in the conflict, but,
someone must lose. It should be : always thebes
and most worthy one for it.
THIS cr.untry leads all others in the amount ofj
money supplied for educational, religious and charitable
purposes, but the amount that is still remaining to be done
is indicated by the fact that there are several thousand
children in New ork who go hreakfastless to school every !

THE COCOANUT PALM.
It Plnya mi Important I'nrt In Life
mid In Litw In Ceylon.
When a traveler gets his first sight
of a palm grove he does not easily for
get it. He sees the trees spriuging up,
as it were, from the water In which
their shadows are reflected. Resides
being beautiful ornaments to a land
*<•!'.j e o,!! 1 > are among the most
j . .1 which nature bar given to
the inhabitants of tropical islands. In
supplying actual necessities and In the
number of useful purposes to which it
can be applied bamboo takes first rank,
I but the palm comes next. To many of
i the people of Ceylon the coeoanut trees
ore everything, and their very lives de
pend upon them. The tree supplies
| most of their wants, besides giving
| them valuable commercial products.
I In this island there are estimated to
be nearly 20,000,000 palm trees, and
among the poorer classes a man's
wealth Is estimated by the number of
trees he owns. They form the most im
portant asset of liis estate and by will
are generally divided among his fam
ily. As one of the important traits of
the Cingalese is his love of litigation,
! one can readily see what an important
! part the palm tree plays in the law
cases there. There is a case on record
In which the two thousand five hun
dred and twentieth part of a grove,
containing only ten trees, was the sub
ject of dispute. One of the greatest
difficulties which the engineers had to
. encounter in. building a railroad across
the Island was to determiue the owner
ship.of the palm trees. The ramifica
tions of relationships and the fraction
al claims set up were most difficult
to understand and disentangle.
A MILITARY EXECUTION.
It IN n Mont Impressive NIUL Dramatic
Ceremony.
"The solemnity of a military execu
tion is about the most impressive and
dramatic act that is known in human
affairs," said an old army officer.
"I had a young friend iu California
who eulisted in the Union army at the
sanffc time with myself, and, coming
east, we were placed in the same com
pany. This young fellow fell in lo*e
wit/i a Virginia girl and under her in
fluence deserted to the enemy. A few
days afterward he was captured and,
being easily recognized, was condemn
ed to bo shot. He had fought like a
demon in the engagement which result
ed In his being made a prisoner, for he
knew well what his fate would be if
taken, liis execution was the most
mournful ceremony I ever witnessed,
and nothing ever seen on the stage
was more theatrical—the procession to
the scene of death, the band in advance
playing a dirge, the coffin, with the
prisoner sitting upon it; the guard iu
the rear and a brigade of cavalry form
ed in a hollow square. The condemned
man, sitting on his coffin, met his fate
like a hero, without exhibiting a tre
mor of fear, and those who witnessed his
death were far more excited than he.
It seemed a sad thing that such a cour
ageous lad should be sacrificed, but it
is one <>f the necessities of war, and
tliis terrible punishment was necessary
to deter others from playing the role
of traitor."—Washington Post.
A LOST ARTr
The 111ond of Metal* Wlilcli Certain
11 NEE* IMIMI POP Tools.
Fame and fortune await th rt lucky in
dividual who can rediscover the coni
i ot iWii made their tools and arms.
Though each of these nations reached
a high state of civilization, none of
them ever discovered iron in spite of
the fact that the soil of all three coun
tries was largely impregnated with it.
Their substitute for it was a combina
tion of metals which had the temper
of steel. Despite the greatest elTorts
the secret of this composition has baf
fled scientists and has become a lost
art. The great explorer, Humboldt,
tried to discover it from an analysis
of a chisel found in an ancient Inca
silver mine, but all that he could find
out was that it appeared to be a com
bination of a small portion of tin with
copper. This combination will not give
the hardness of steel, so it is evident
that tin and copper could not have been
its only component parts. Whatever
might have been the nature of the me
tallic combination, these ancient races
were able so to prepare pure copper
that it equaled in temper the finest
steel produced at the present day by
the most scientifically approved proc
ess. Witli their bronze and copper in
struments they were able to quarry
and shape the hardest known stones,
such as granite and porphyry, and
even cut emeralds and like substances.
A rediscovery of this lost art would
revolutionize many trades in which
steel at present holds the monopoly.
If copper could thus be tempered now
its advantage over steel would be very
grea,t, and it would no doubt be pre- :
ferred to the latter in numerous indus
tries. It is a curious fact that, though
this lost secret still baflles modern sci
entists. it must have been discovered
Independently by the three races which
made use of it so long ago.—New York

"Uneducated Americans," says a cor

nounce the name of their country
Amarica, calling themselves Amari
eans. In so doing they not only yield
to a natural craving for a finer eu

than educated Americans. Amerigo be
ing the Italian form of the Gothic
Amalarlc, contracted to Amaric. This

motto to add to the Washington armo
rial In the national device of 'America.*
"Brazil was the original America.
Down to the first quarter of the six
teenth century our North America was
still mapped as an extension of India,
Tibet, China and Japan, with Brazil as
an island, separated by the islands dis
covered by Columbus from 'the new
world of Greater India* and named
'America provlncia' and again 'America
vel Brasilia.*
"Not before the middle of the six
teenth century was the tet»i 'America*
extended to North America, with the
addition 'vel Nova India.* In brief,
the Americas were both mere wind
falls In the heroic secular quest after
'spiced* India. This is the redoubled
debt the Anglo-Saxon race owes India."
