HONOR To WHOM HONOR IS DIM-: |
It is difficult to figure out any pro- |
cess of reasoning by which the action
of the authorities in Washington, in j
deciding to send General Miles to San
tiago to take charge of the operations
against that city, can be instilled.
General Shafior has clearly shown
that he is perfectly capable of handling
the force under his command as well
as to carry on the arduous campaign
mapped out for him, and it is unjust
to send some one down to Cuba at this
stage of the tight to supercede him. .;
looks altogether like an effort to rob
General Shatter of richly deserved hon?
ors in order to bestow them upon a su?
perior in rank who has had nothing to
do with the most difficult part of th ?
expedition.
IT General .Miles lias military ai.ilil .
in a marked degree lie will have abund?
ant opportunity to display it, but if he
wins faint- and his much coveted lieu?
tenant-generalship by any such
scheme as the one he is trying to work
most people will always think that hi
secured it in an underhand manner.
It General Miles really deserves pro
motion no one will object to it. lint n
will'-be necessary fin- him to show a
greater degree of ability than In- has
yet"displayed to convince the American
people that he deserves such recogni?
tion.
As a dress suit soldier In- is a splen?
did.'! success, but it remains to In- seen
whether he is worthy of I'm- place be
now holds, to say nothing of the pro?
motion to which he aspires.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
Frequently this old saw is not appli
cable to Ha- every day affairs of lift
for in many instances late is to al
practical intents ami purposes identica
with never.
Fortunately for the citizens of New
port News this, is not trio- ..!' the action
of the Common Council in refcretici to
the overhead bridges to be erected at
the intersection of Twenty-fifth. Twen
ly-eighth and Thirty-fourth si.Is and
the Chesapeake ?r Ohio ranway. The
necessity for these bridges is so obvl
ous that it has been difficult to under?
stand why Iber,; :.h,mid be so much
opposition to their erection. Tie vei
iest tyro in business can readily appre?
ciate the great benefits to b,- derived
from the overhead structures. Tralllc
on the street cars as well as in other
respects will experience none of the an
noying delays now necessary when a
long train of coal ears is leisurely pass-/*!
ing the crossings in question. /o^ '
Aside from this very practical & ,l
material benefit the constant dangV

?if a frightful nceident at the point
when- (he street railway and the rail?
road tracks c ross will tic removed. This
is a most important consideration and
would be sullicb lit in Itself to justify
th?<ereclion of the bridges.
Wie old council will be long remem?
berer! for lb- work it has done, but Its
record would have beeii incoiiiplete had
