The Tariff bill has passed the Senate, leaving the problem of Its ability for rata- - ' log rovenuo indeterminable bytho expert. In general It Includes the Republican princl- - i plo of protection, and yet It Is not distinctly tho work of tho Republican party. Ont of eighty-nin- e Senators tho miiK Bepnbllcant have counted but forty- - three, and Boms of thoso wero on partisan- - W'i ship's ragged edge. Their Republicanism Tras so tempered by their relations to silver that the party's authority over them was limited only. Tho Tariff bill, as It loaves tho Senate, Is a bill of submission to tho few Eree-lanc- who were needed by tho Republl- - eons to pass any bill at all. They have been xactlng In a measure llttlo short of their power, and they bavo all smacked of Dry- - anlsm. It can be said justly that If tho Republican control of tho Senato had been p.' ' complete tho bill would have been less ex- - treme In Its protection and more effcctlvo KK for tho raising of revenue. With the passage of tho bill by tho Senato, however, the struggle over it Is substan- - tlally closed, and with snch modifications - as may be brought about In conference tho jk; ' new experiment will soon go to tho country for the test of practical working. The Vote. Thirty-eigh- t votes wero cast In the Sen- - ate on Wednesday for the Dinglcy tariff II ' bill and 28 votes were cast against It. H J' , Sixteen Senators were paired. Soven Sen- - dtors, all of them Populists or silverltes, did not vote. Actually, therefore, tho vote on the Tariff bill In the Senate was as fol- - '' lows on Wednesday : .

About 6,000 of our Indian wards live far ' ont on the desert plains of southwestern !&,\\ Arlxona, on tho Qffoi River Reservation. Mjf ' Tho river there HMtiJu Jttteegho \ mighty cafions ltVng among tho moult; tains, and flows through tho middlo of tho. long, narrow reservation on Its way to the Colorado. Theso Indians, for many genera- - tlons, have lived where they are y, and their reservation Is limited by the area of the desert they have turned Into tho finest jL' ' of wheat and com fields, bay meadows, and \ gardens, by means of irrigation canals, many of them miles in length, and some of them, Major Powell says, antedating the Columbian epoch. The Indians are now in ftp trouble from a very unusual cause, and they deserve sympathy and relief In their present adversltv. question are tho Plmos TBloEoTIarlcopas. Tho valley of their river, below the re&ervatlon, is strewn with ruins that are relics of tho ancient culture , of their forefathers. They have always been and always the friends of tho whites. Tho pioneers who took tho J southern route to California found their homo a friendly oasis, a resting place In the desert. These tribes joined the eml- - grantB, too, In repelling tho Apaches, who - were tho scourge of the Southwest long before tho Government took them In hand, 'r and many a ton of hay and hundred weight of grain have gone from the Gila River ' Reservation to tho troopers and their horses - while posted around San Carlos trying to keep the Apaches lu bounds. Mr?-\- . A lew years ago muuy white settlers In Arizona wero Impressed suddenly with the idea that If the Pima und the Maricopa Indians could thrive by agriculture In tho G'la Vnlley they themselves might also make homes In that district. The Land : Onico encouraged them In this view, and \ lan&a were ullottcd to them along the i rlver nuovo tho reservation. They dug Ir- - - rlgutlon canals, and now their part of fr U10 \Hey Is beautiful with verdure. Hut tbey haTe tapped tho source of life of ' tho reeerratlon, for they have diverted to their owu purposes almost the entire water supply of tho poor Indians below. The In. dlau fields hae lapsed Into desert again, ' ad theso people, umong the thriftiest aborigines of our country, aro now reduced almost to tho condition of paupers and aro dependent upon rations Issued by the Gov- - ernment to kyep them alive. The Indian Rureau, encouraged by their Industry and friendliness, ihnd been making special ef. forts to educate them and Improve their condition, whllo another bureau baa ruined them by its successful efforts to reclaim the upper part of tho valloy. The povernment is trying to restore pros- - parity to these unfortunate Indians. A K thoron'gh exploration has been made for '' .A Aft,v, reservoir sites in and near the reservation ; and the recent report of Mr. A0780!1 P- -' Davis seems to prove that Bufiklont water may be Impounded, when tho Gila River is in flood, to meet all tho requirements of tho Indians, and can bo delivered to them at a raodcrato cost per acre. As soon as possi- ble Ihoy will again bo put In tho way of supporting themselves, as they had always done before the water thoy spread over tholr farms and gardens was taken from them for the use of whlto men. All Gone. It is onr duty to report that tho great Democratic doctrlno of a tariff for revenue only has gone by tho board at the hands of two defenders that In tholr time havo ex- hibited a devotion to this principle which promised to enduro even after all other support of it had been withdrawn. Tho first Is the Richmond Times, tho lead- ing anti-Brya- n Democratic journal of Vir- ginia. Our contemporary, caught In tho Socialistic gushing of tho day, unconscious of tho strength of Its yearning for reunion with the Democratic party of Chicago, and at last touching the bottom of Its own mind on tho tariff question, sidles up to Bryanlsm in company with Senator Caffeut, and, llko him, declares for a tariff for rovenuo only, \so ad- justed as to bear heaviest on articles of luxury, which are consumed by tho rich alone, and lightest on articles of necessity, which aro consumed by tho rich and the poor.\ Tho Richmond Times holds it to bo constitutional, therefore, to regulate tariff duties not in truth for revenuo only, but for tho more efficient squeezing of tho rich and for tho special benefit of the poor. Its idea is actually to employ the tariff for tho equalization of the fortunes of tho American rich and poor, all citizens of tho United States. It would \protect\ tho poor against tho rich on the principle used by tho Republicans for protecting tho laborers of Amorlca against the cheaper labor of foreign countries. Even tho sacred American principle of freo trade and equal rights throughout tho States of tho Union Is repudiated by tho new school of Demo cratic protectionists. Tho second backslider Is more sensa- tional, being ro less than tho fathor, tho son, or the Inventor, at least, of the Star-Eye- d Goddess, the CourierTovrnal. Our Loulsvlllo contemporary's renunciation of tho rovenuo prlnclplo 1b roundabout, but nono the less final. Twitted upon tho Kentucky Gold Democrats' expected in- dorsement of tho Cleveland Administration, the Courier-Jororn- protests that that will come from lu own hoart too, and ar- dently, since the Cloveland Administra- tion was...\ sound Jp, P.5mQfl'te..uF?entlnIs and rang a clear note on allthe great issues of the time.\ We quote this not to Illustrate with what extraordinary faculty tho Courier-Journa- l con elongate Its neck tho better to bo stamped upon by Its enemy's both foet, but to show howunconflned Is the Democratic revolution on tho tariff. \Sound In Democratic essentials I\ \A clear note on all tho great issues of tho time I\ In 1802 the Hon. Gnovitn Cleve- land, then candidate for President before the National Democratic Convention, sent in tho Randall plank for protection, or the \straddle of 1884,\ as the gallant CoL Wattebson called it, when, backed by tho convention, ho kicked It out and wrote Into the platform that the tariff should be \ for revenue only.\ Next, when Mr. Cleveland accepted the nomination, he dodged the tariff plank, or, as the New York Times said, ho changed it. And final- ly when the time came to put the party principle into legislation. President Cleve- land and Chairman Wilson submitted a revision avowedly for protection. It was faithfully denounced by Col. Wattehson. One argument used by tho gold Demo- crats for holding themselves aloof from tho great jnrtythot opposes Bryanlsm has been that they are the original Democrats on the question of the tariff. Since the Chi- cago platform of 1800 repudiated the tariff principle of 1802, and Dcmocratlo Senators have been scrambling after pro- tection, the gold Democrats have thought to seo in that a right to live. Yet, after all, the gold Democrats havo recanted with the silver men. They aro all protectionists. Even the Star-Eye- d Goddess is fallen. Why Spain Has Failed In Cuba. Mr. Thomas G. ALVOiyj, Jr., who since January of this year has snt four months Th Cuba, and who has traveled allover tho Island, undertakes to explatrwHllllQhe-Jul- y number of tho Forum why, with the im- mense military force at her disposal, Spain has proved unable In two years and flvo months to exterminate the revolutionists, who cannot muster, all told, more than 30,000 indifferently armed guerrilla Mr. ALVonD denies that the solution of the puzyle Is to be looked for In the defensible character of the country and In the advantage pos- sessed by the insurgents In their familiarity with its swamps, mountain posset and natural strongholds. These advantages are mora than neutralized In bis opinion by their ignorance of tho art of war. The Cubans aro brave, but refuse to learn tho most ordinary tartlcs. They have no In- fantry worthy of the name; they prefer to do all their fighting In thesadd!o;and their favorite weapon Is not the carblno or revol- ver, but the machete, a long, narrow, razor- like blade, blunt at tho point, but sharp- ened at both edges and hllted like a sword. How has It happened, then, that thirty thousand men, undrllled and indifferently armed, havo been ablo to gain almost un- disputed possession of the two eastern provinces, Santiago de Cuba and Puerto Prlnclpo, whllo even In the other four provinces they aro practically the rulers outside of the large cities? A four months' stay In Cuba, In the course of which ho talked with a multitude of Spanish officers, from Generals to corpo- rals, convinced Mr. Ai.vonD that it has not been tho purposo of Gen, Wuyleh to put an end to the rebellion, Wu cannot, ho thinks, cscapo the alternative, either that Wbylkh Is destitute of tho slightest mill-tar- y ability, or clso that from sordid mo- tives he has deliberately made It easy for tho insurgents to keep up the strife. Atten- tion Is directed to tho extraordinary manner in which tho Span ish force of 235,000 men Is distributed. From tho outset tho novel plan was adopted of building small forts all over the Island, a plan which put tho Spanish forces In the position of awaiting attack instead of pursuing the enemy. It seems that tho number of these forts Is astonishing, and, as the defenders never leave them, It is computed that at least ISO,-00- 0 of Weyler's forco of 230,000 ore thus prevented from taking an active part In the campaigns. Then again, an esti- mate mode last April, from the most trustworthy figures then obtainable in Havana, showed that thero were nearly 30(000 officers, privates, and military at-- taches doing special duty; these also, then, wore shut off from taking nny active part in military operations. Tho remnant of tho army, not detached for garrison or special duty, say DR. 000 men, is divided into columns, which march with little purposo from ono fortified town to another. Now and then a band of rebels will bo met; If tho Spanish soldiers rcpulso them, they allow them to rldo off unjmrsucd. They fear to pursue, lest thoy bo led Into a narrow pass and shot to pieces, a fato which many a Spanish column has encountered. As a rule, In tho field tho Spanish Invader acts more frequently on the defensive than on tho aggressive. This Is not tho way in which Insurrections are subdued. Thero aro, it seems, Spanish Generals in Cuba who hold that WnYLEn should have put down tho rebellion within ninety days. Mr. Alvobd thinks that tho same view would bo taken by nny unprejudiced military authority, who had studied tho forces on both sides, and mado duo allow- ances for the advantages possessed by thoso who fight upon their natlvo soil. Tho motives actuating Wkylkix In allowing tho war to drag along, and prompting a largo portion of tho Btoff and lino to support tho policy of their superior wero Indicated by an Incident. On an American sugar estate Mr. Al-yor- d had absolute proof that thousands of dollars were paid to a Spanish General in order that troops might be stationed there to protect the ripened cone from the in- surgents. At breakfast ono morning tho manager of the estate jokingly asked tho Colonel of a column if tho war were not turning out too profitable to be speedily closed. The Colonel replied tn an assumed tone of injury : \ You make a crop every year ; wo do not get a chanoo to mako ono In ten years. This Is our harvest. You ought to bo charitable and let as alone.\ What the Spanish officers term their har- vest Is dcrlvod not only from property own ers on tho island, but from the money drained from Spain ostensibly for tho pur- pose of maintaining war. Tho vast num- ber of superfluous forts built has cost Spain an enormous sum, for, although tho soldiers did the manual work, thero was much expensive material to be bought, and contractors had to oversco the building. Then, again, the money of Spain is wasted on needless transportation. Troops aro in- cessantly moved by sea, when thoy could be more quickly and easily moved by land. The inevitable inference Is that an under- standing as to commissions exists between the steamboat companies and the military authorities. With regard to the charge that the Cuban lnsurroctlon is mainly a negro uprising, Mr. Alvord admits that at the outsot fow -- oK-he white eubamrwerirtn'favoY of other hand ho testifies that to-d- tho whole of the white natlvo population Is ac- tively or secretly trying to throw off the Spanish yoke. It Is true that only a small percentage of tho white Cubans have joined tho Insurgents, ranks, though even in tho army the proportion of whites to negroes is about ten to four ; the great bulk, in other words, of tho force In the field is mado up of educated, patriotlo, whlto Cubans who are struggling for the independence of their country. It is only the impossibility of securing arms that keeps the ostensibly peaceful Cuban out of the actlvo conflict. Those who do not go out to fight for lack of weapons are daily risking deportation or life-lon- g Imprison- ment in chains to help their brothers In the \long grass.\ Mr. Both Tjow's n. Columbia University Is about to remove from Forty-nint- h street and Madison avenue, where It has been established for forty years, to Its new site on Morn-Ingsl- Heights. Accordingly the Colum- bia University Bulletin for June Is occupied chjefly with reminiscences of tho history and development of the institution, and forecasts of its future. The first of these papers Is by Mr. Seth Low, the President of Columbia Univer- sity, and it is Interesting as affording a fair measure of his calibre, the tone of bis mind, and his moral quality. Of course. It Is an occasional production, but It lears ovidenco of the careful preparation which any college President would glvo naturally to a paper signed by him and ad dressed to too undergraduates, tne alumni, and tho faculties of the institution. It is, accordingly, a labored production; but so far aaJts literary construction goes; Who labor, was not jfSnded with tho ikjA discretion which wo should 11V to see dlsTingulshing the literary outgivings of a great American university. Mr. Low's use of English Is correct enough In the-mai- but the vocabulary and tho form of expression suggest neither tho orig- inality nor the fulness of thought and tho finish which mark tho educated and cultivated man. No matter how slight and casual the utterance of such a man, It will afford ovidenco of the richness of tho Intellectual sources from which it comes. A strong and original mind leaves Its un- mistakable mark somewhere In the expres- sion It gives to Itself In writing. If tho fountain of thought is dry, Its literary product will be jejune. If the mind Is com- monplace, so will be tho utterance. Tho casual) speech exhibits cultivation or bo-tra- deficiency In tho training and associa- tion which glvo refinement and ele- gance. A hastily written lotteralono may glvo a key to a man's wholo character and social and Intellectual training and rela- tions. \ Thy speech bowrayeth thee.\ Without captious crltloism, we are com- pelled to say that this carefully prepared paper of Mr. Setii Low reveals him as a man of mediocre Intellectual ability, who has not been BufQoIently trained scholas-tlcall- y to acqutro the polish which may go far to hldo the duluess of tho underlying thought. Ills literary stylo cannot be called bad; but It Is not of the form which suggests either strength or cultivation. It is poor and commonplace rather than bad. From beginning to end thoro is no rentenco of his paper which has a quality abovo the average writing of men of aver-ag- o schooling. Almost anybody who could write English grammatically could do about as well. Nor is there any doctrine In tho paper affording Indication of Mr. Low's tltlo to be a teacher for his genera- tion and the head of a great university for moulding its mind and sentiment. Two extracts taken casually from this papar Illustrate the literary rawness of which we havo spokon, and are fair samples of the character of tho paper as a whole ; \Bat the baelneM of the city bad Ujun to inake laroadi upon the alts by cuttini tlrcete throurh It, and the patroni ot the eollece were moving con- stantly farther and farther away,\ \The reraoral to the Portynlnth ttreet alee was marked by an effort to develop adraaoed lnitructlon In literature, in hlitory, and pnblto law, and by the eeUblUhmeat of the Law Bohool.

Mr. Low's vocabulary Is usually suggestive ot tho mercantile letter rather than, ot tho taste, precision, and nicety'In the cliolco of languago which distinguish the writing of a man of education. His use ot terms, also, is sometimes Incorrect. Situation, for instanco, ho calls \location.\ He talks about the \ educational tender of the col- lege;\ \a greatly Improved educational ten- der;\ meaning, we suppose, the range ot lis instruction, but using a term suggestive rather of tho slang of trade than ot an at- mosphere of refinement and scholarship. Such a use ot \tender\ has no justification in good English usage, bnt smacks ot tho shop, and of vulgarity. These, however, are superficial blemishes, mere defects of polish, as compared with tho tono ho adopts toward his assooiates in tho college, and more especially in speak- ing of his predecessor, tho lato President Baiikard. Dr. IUnnAnD was President ot Columbia Collcgo for twenty-flv- o years, and ho brought to it high dlstlnctlqn in tho world ot scholarship and science. Ho was a man of great breadth of knowl- edge and notable scientific accuracy. Tho development of tho college into the uni- versity It has now become was due to him more than to any othsr man associ- ated with It throughout lte long history. When Mr. Low succeeded to the Presidency on tho death of Dr. Barnard, he was a yonng man, a merchant. So tar as con- cerns his qualifications of scholarship and general education, ho was about on the level of tho usual college graduate. Ho had passed from college to pursuits which wero other than Intellectual, and probably his col- legiate experience left no more mark on his mind than it does on graduates generally who depart from college as from a school at whloh they have completed tholr purely scholastlo training for once and all. He did not even uso his undergraduate discipline as a start toward further intellectual progress. He was the son of a very rich merchant, and was thereforo free to enter into any sphere of activitv for which he had on in clination. He chose trade, going into his father's mercantile business as a clerk. Hence be Is now without a liberal educa- tion, as his paper bo plainly indicates. Dr. Barnard gave his wholo life to In- tellectual pursuits and tho study of tho problems of science, philosophy, and educa- tion, nia knowledgo was extensive and profound, and his mind was distinctively of the cast ot the student and scholar, philosophic, scientific, and originative. Mr. Low has never been a student at all since he learned his lessons as .n -- Badergraduato. of JiJ,unbl9,..an.dho has mado no contribution to the world's stock of Ideas or knowledge. Ho has not bod oven the Intellectual training of profes- sional study, no cannot be called an edu- cated man In the sense which wo now use the term as distinguishing thoroughly and broadly trained and cultivated minds. Where Are tbe Weakflsta? What has become of the weakflsh t Is the question which the Rarlton Bay anglers aro now asking each other. A month ago tho fish made their appearance In the Great Kills of Staten Island, and for some time the Bport was good and promised to be great, for tho catches were larger and larger day after day. But just about ten days ago the fish sud- denly disappeared, leaving nothing but fluke behind. Pointing to tho miles of tes- timony represented by tho \pounds the pessimists of the bewildering art aver that tho breed is broken; that, walled out by Innumerable pound nets and wantonly slaughtered by tho purso nets ot pretended menhaden men, tho game fish have no longer any road to reach tholr spawn- ing grounds. In other words, owing to the enormous obstructions presented by the miles of nets along tho Jersey shore, there Is now no longer any chance for fish to get into the bay. Tho nets capture them all, and not one-tent- h of their catches, as has been proved long ago by testimony be-fo- a committee of tho Legislature ot this State, can bo marketed. Tho rest, composed of dead fish crushed In tho great nets, are thrown out to flavor the shores of our wa- tering nlaccs or taken to Barren Island to be converted Into fertilizer. Other fishermen Insist that the fish have gone away to spawn ; that, on account of tho backward spring, tho spawning season is late, and that the strange absence of the bedizened beauties of tho sea at this sea- son is due simply to that cause, and that In a few days thtJ fish will return with appe- tites good enough to delight the 'hearts ot the most desponding anglers. As we see, thero Is a difference ot opinion among anglers, just us there is among tariff tinkers, which goes to show that Dr. John- son's biting allusion to them cannot bo correct. But it It bo true that tho long lines of nets, especially on the coast of Jersey, are destroying their sport and de- pleting tho waters of both New York and Jersey ot game fish, the anglers should take tho advlco of Tun Sun, organize, and fight for themselves In Congress. Three Inadequate Reasons. It may bo assumed that tho formal pro- test which Minister Husin has filed with Secretary Sherman comprises all of Im- portance that his Government has to say against our annexation ot Hawaii, and yet it is certainly not enough. Of tho three reasons brought forward, the first, \ that tho maintenance of tho status quo ot Hawaii Is essential to tho good understanding of tho powers which havo Interests In the Pacific,\ Is clearly not sound. The fact Is that, of all the na- tions that havo Interests In that sea, Japan is the only one which has made a protest, and Japan herself did not pro- test against the previous treaty of an- nexation mado by the Harrison Admlnls-tratlo- n over four years ago. We may there- fore conclude that our annexation of Hawaii would not Interfere with tho good under- standing of tho powers any more than the many annexations of France, Germany, Spain and England In the Pacific, or than Japan's own recent annexation of Formosa has Interfered with It. The second reason brought forward is that annexation would \ tend to endanger tho residential, commercial, and Industrial rights of Japanese subjects in Hawaii, to them by treaty and by tho Consti- tution and laws of that country.\ Un- doubtedly rights depending on the contin- ued exlstenco of treaties would be en- dangered, because all treaties necessarily lapso when ono ot the parties ceases to bo a sovereign, treaty-makin- g power. That, however, is a rulo applying to all annexations, and not a special hard- ship imposed on Japan. To argue that this fact should be treated as more Im- portant than the entire future, not only ot Hawaii, but of the United States, Is pre- - ' posUrous Evea the treaty whloh Japan made with Hawaii eleven years ago Is ter- minable, by olther .partyt with only six j months' notice, and Hawaii could glvo thnt notice now it sho did not deem It unneces- sary, in vlow ot tho fact that annexation It- self abrogates tho treaty, as was well known when tho agreement was signed. Japan's third reason is that \such an- nexation might lead to tho postponement by nawail of the settlement ot claims and liabilities already existing in favor ot Japan, under treaty stipulations.\ But, an Mr. SniatMAN has pointed out, tho abro- gation ot tho treaty of 1880 \would no more extinguish vested rights previously acquired undor its stipulations than tho repeal of a municipal law affects rights of property vested under its provisions.\ This reply is general in character, but so also is the assertion which it refutes. Japan would prefer to hava something put into the treaty of annexation on tho sub- ject of hor rights acquired under former treaties; but there are various details of Hawaii's relations with formor countries which cannot bo provided for in a treaty of this character. The throo reasons presented by Japan havo, in short, no weight n batevcr, as argu- ments against annexation. Thcyareslmply reasons indicating why Japan desires the continuance of Hawaii's Independent exist- ence; thoy do not show why we have not tho right to annex the country. The treaty of annexation hasproperly been made simple in terms, and it deals with no extraneous subjects; but in Article VL pro- vision la mado for the appointment ot com- missioners who aro to recommend to Con- gress such legislation as may seem to bo needed. Presumably legislation concerning the vested rights otJapan or other countries, or concerning thp liabilities Incurred by Hawaii, will recelvo full consideration by these commissioners and by Congress. Bolton and Klohclieu. Tho resolution before tho Senate author- izing the President \ to employ such means and exert such power as may be necessary\ to secure indemnity from Spain for the wrongs and injuries Inflicted on August Bolton and Gustaye Richelieu certainly cannot be called hasty. The grievance complained of happened long ago, and hitherto all attempts to ob- tain indemnity for tho victims havo been futile. Bolton and Richelieu were Amer- ican citizens, fishermen by occupation, who, through stress of weather, were compelled to put Into Santiago do Cuba in an open boat. Ordinarily persons thus unfortunato aro welcomed and hospitably treated ; but theso strangers were at once suspected of being spies or flllbustersTbr of being con- nected in some way with tho Insurrection. Thero was nothing about tho appliances of their little craft to suggest warlike pur- poses, and they had asked to be directed to the United States Consul; but they were arrested and thrown Into prison. Only after emphatic remonstrances from our Consul, and after being held from tho latter part of February to the early part of May, were they released from confine- ment at Santiago de Cuba; and mean- while they had been HI, and had suffered much. When at last they had left the island, they filed a claim for 9 10,-00- 0 indemnity each; but, although thero is no pretence that the slightest evidence of wrongdoing exists against them, Spain has refused to discuss their claim for that sum or for any part of It, and says that she con- siders the transaction as closed. Mr. Lodor and the Senate Foreign Com- mittee think it la about time to secure repa- ration for some ot the wrongs done to Amer- ican citizens in Cuba, and the case ot Bol- ton and Richelieu seems to be a good one to start with. It President McKinley wants sugges- tion and advice as to our currency ayitcm he li under no necessity of applylne to Congress for authority to Invito such help. lie can pot It as b, voluntary contribution from those who best understand the subject. Ilenco no Currency Commlielon provided for by act ot Coneross Is necessary.

Our esteemed contemporary, tho Edin- burgh Golfer, considers tho lognllty of tho cue upon tho putting green, with Tim Sun's rocmt discussion of this qncstlon as a basis of Its re- marks. Tho proprloty of establishing a dellnlto rule against tho billiard stroko on tho put- ting green Is mado manifest by tbe extreme fUmslness of tho Ooltr's authorities for forbid- ding It. \Tho St. Andrew's rules do not specifi- cally set forth that tho putting greon may not bo converted Into a billiard table,\ says tlio Qolftr, \ but tho framers of thoso ruliw would probably never dream of such a practice.\ Thnt may be true, but nothing In It gives a referee the power to decldo that the cuo must not be used. \In rulo 12, for Instance,\ tho Oolfer says, \tho words 'soling his club' aro used. And bow can a billiard cue be eoled I Moreover, with a ball In a hazard how can a cuo be used without controverting rulo 14. t\ To clear our contemporary's mind upon this question, a cue con be usod In n hazard in tho orthodox fashion of billiards, without soling tho cuo or the hand, but of course no one would over tblnk of using a cuo to get out of a hazard, Agalm \ The word ' club' may settle the subject. All through the rules the word club is used; and if we turn to tbe dictionary we find that the of that word it 'a heavy tapering stick, knobby or maMlvo at on end, usod to triko with.' Thero is no\ sutnrestlen of the Millard cue hero. The golfor, therefore, who docs not accept tho Scottish Interpretation of tho word club has tho alternative of resting him- self upon tho dictionary meaning, and under neither ot these can tho cue stroko by any possi- bility bo adoptod.\ Our contemporary talks In the air. A regular golf club can bo roversod and used as a cue. It Is a high mission to thus have in keeping the lite anil usefulness of the party. Dr. Clxvxxakd of Westland. Vice Is cumulative.

The CoDredera t e Commander's Letter to JefTer-ao- n Davie Arter the Battle or OettvshnraT. from th atobflitmocrat. WABniNOTOH, July 0. A volume of war rec- ords now In courao of preparation at the War Department will settle tbe controversy whether Gen. Itobort E. Loo tendered his resignation after tho battle of Gettysburg. The reply of Jefferson Davis declining to accept the resigna- tion has been a matter of common information, but the character of the letter In detail which called out this reply has been a matter of infer- ence only until recontly. The letter of resigna- tion of Gen. Lee will bo first printed officially in a supplemental volume of the War Records which is now being prepared. It is given here- with in its entirety: \Cami Orakqe, Aug. 8. 1803. \BU RccOlnusy Jtffenon DavU, trttUUnt tf th Confedtrate States, \Mr. President: Your letters of July 28 and Aug. 2 have been received, and I have waited for a leisure hour to reply, but I fear that will ncvorcomo. Iamextrcmoly obliged to you for the attention given to the wauls of this army and tho efforts mado to supply them. Our ab- sentees nro returning, and I hopo the earnest and beautiful appeal mado to the country In your proclamation may stir up the whole peo- ple, and that tbey may see their duty and por-tor- m it. Nothing is wanted but that their ?or-titu- should equal their bravery to insure tbe success of our cause. We must expect reverses, c en defeats. They ore sent to teach us wisdom and prudence, to cull forth greater energies, and to prevent our falling into greater disasters. Our peoplo hat o only to bo truo and united, to boar manfully tho misfortunes Incident to war. and all n ill como right in tho end. \ I know how prouo wo are to censure and how rcailj to blame others for tho nonfulfll-men- t of our expectations. This is unbocomlng in a generous people, and I grtovo to see its ex- pression. The general remedy for tho want of success in a military commander Is his removal. This Is natural, and in many instances proper, lor, no matter what maybe tho ability of the olticer. If ho loses tho conudenco of his troops disastor must sooner or later eneuo. \I hnvo been prompted by these reflections more than onco sinco my return from Pennsyl- vania to propose to your Excellency the pro- priety of selecting another commander for this army. I hovo scon and heard of expressions of discontent in the publio journals at the result of the expedition. I do not Know how far this feel- ing extends in tho army. My brother officers have bcon top kind to report it, and so far tho troops have boen too generous to exhibit it. It is fair, however, to suppose thnt it does exist, and success is so necessary to us that nothing should bo risked to secure it. I. therefore, in all sin- cerity, request your Excelloncy to take measures tosuppl niv place. I do this with tho more earnestness bneauso no ono is more aware than m self of my inability for the duties of my posi- tion. I cannot own accomplish whnt I myself desire. How can I fulfil the expectations of others t In addition I sensibly feel tho growing failure of my bodily strength. I have not ret recovered from the attack I experienced thepast spring. I am becoming more and more Incapa- ble of exertion, and am thus prevented from making tho personal examinations and giving the personal Buporvislon to the operations in tho held which I foci to be necessary. I am so dull that in making use of tho oyes of others I nm frequently misled. Everything, therefore, points to tho nd van tacrcs to be derived from a now commander, and I tho raoro anx- iously urge the matter upon your Excellency fromiu bUlof thut a soungor and abler man than mjself can readily bo obtained. I know that ho will lm ens gallant and bravo an armr ns ecr edited to his efforts, and ft would bo the happlct day of my life to see at its hoajl a worthy loader one that would accom- plish moro I h-- I could perform and all that I hino wisher'. I hopo jour Excellency will at- tribute my rcqticst to the truo reason, tho desire to sort o mv countrv. aud to do all in my power to insure tho aucco.s of hor righteous cause \ l !',avS V0 complaints to mako of any ono but mjself.
