He entered the Twentjr-fourta Ohio aa sergeant Ba3f April 12. lfcI, resigned in Octo ber and entered the regular amy In November aa a private in the Sixteenth infantry. At fce close of the civil . war he had risen to he lieutenant col onel of the Tenth Infantry, having re ceived Ueveta for callast aerrlce at 5Jarfreeloro. Jones boro and during the Atlanta campaia. The record ot scores of other meritorious officer mitht be quoted, but these are fair sample of them. Leonard Wood is 41 years of age . r2f ett, Ktllos atd others having served in the army about aa long aa he has lived. He graduated from tbs Harvard raedkal school in Hoi and is a ihrkla and surgeon by profession, lie became a contract surgeon in thfe regular army in HIS and surgeon witn rank of captain in 1431- At the out break f the Spanish war be and Theo dore Itooevet organized the roug& riders and Mr. Wood, as their colonel, saw two months of active service. His lnSuence at court was sufficient to pro cure hit appointment as military gov ernor in Cua. here Le has done ex cellent sanitary work. He is Jtrtnped over S3 captain. 277 majors, S$ lieu tenant colonels and 77 colonels. Calculating the time at which the various officers will retire it appears that Wood will become the head of the army la comparatively few yean, and because of his youth will remain at the 1 ad of it for many years. Nearly all. if not all. of the oScers over whom he Is to be Jumped will retire from the army under the age limit long before he ili. The question rs asked with propriety, what court Influences were strong enough to produce such aston ish inc results? tfut perhaps the most glaring in stance of court faroriutza was the at tempt made by the president to de Kz&ue Admiral Schley. Schley's rank in the navy was three numbers ahead of Eampson. Schley fought the naval battle at Santiago and destroyed the Spanish Sett with the loss of only one taaa. Sampler as not present, be ing more than tea miles away during the whole fight. The president then nadertook to degrade Schley .Vlow Sampson, but the senate refused to confirm the nomination. As emperor of the Philippines, the president will have no senate to Interfere with him. If he wishes to take some private and rnke him commander-in-chief of the TO.oiO soldiers in the Philippines, un der the Epooner bill he will have the power to do so. If he has a relative to whom he wishes the contracts to be given all he will have to do will be to issue an order. If he has a friend that he wants to give the authority to build railroads, city waterworks or street car lines, that friend can get It all to the exclusion of everybody else If this r-'n to whom all powtr, civil and mil itary, has been given, sees fit to do It. The poorer bill creates an absolute autocrat and emperor of the Philip pines. Ail power, without any re strictions whatever Is placed in his hands. It Is so strain upon language to call MKlnlcy "Emperor of the Philippine.- That Is what he is now and what the Spooner bill proposes to make him for ail time to come. The bill, cow put as a rider upon the army appropriation bill, reads aa follows: -That all military and civil power necessary to govern the Philippine Isl ands, acquired from Spain by the trea ties concluded at Paris oa the 10th day of December, and at Washington ca the 7th day of November, 1300. shall, until otherwise provided by coa ' cress, be vested la such person and persons and shall be exercised la such manner aa the president of the United States shall direct, for the establish ment of civil government and for maintaining and protecting the in- enoyment of their liberty, property and religion: Prorlded.

This Ceclartloa is reaffirmed V the act ef March 14. 1SO0, and la thst act it is made distinctly the duty of the secretary of the treasury to maintain the parity. Heretofore the dally receipt of silver dollars and sil ver certificates for all public dues on precisely the same terms as gold has been suficlent to maintain the parity between the two metals. If the secre tary of the treasury were to find him self unable to maintain it any other way than by the redemption of silver dollar in gold, no doubt he would so redeem ihem.

The Independent would like to know where the place 1 and what the trans actions were when silver dollar paid out at a discount. But the most im portant thing la the paragraph Is the statement that McKlnley will soon go to redeeming silver dollars In gold, law or ho law, for that is the substance of th statement.

A congressional document Is usual ly very dry reading. Congressman Sutherland sent the editor of The In dependent one the other day while he must bare bad la mind how this edi tor 1 very hard worked and needed a little humor and light rear-- to liven him up, so he Rent the e'v.VJce given by Horace White before the' committee on coinage, weight and measures. To read It will cause more laughter than the best comic opera. The Independent returns Its thanks to Mr. Sutherland for his effort to brighten the houri of a hardworking editor with a little comic reading. The following Is a sam ple of th fun that Mr. Horace While made for the committee and all who will take th trouble to read this hum orous document entitled. "Hearings be fore the committee on coinage, weights and measures. Most of it runs along after this fashion: 4 " Mr. Gaines: Does not every gold contract mean and is intended to mean to stop Its payment In any other mon ey but gold? Mr. White: Yes. Mr. Gaines: . And does It not to that extent destroy the tender or money value of every other money except gold, and to that extent destroy Its use as money, and as you stop the use of a tender money you Increase a dispar ity? , ..... Mr. White: ; There Is ho other mon ey but gold. Silver is not money; greenbacks are not money. Mr. Gaines: , What do you call "money?" Mr. White: Money is something which Is a measure of value and a me dium of exchange, and there Is noth ing but gold that fills that hill. Mr. Gaines: Is not the silver dollar ' money? Mr. White: No. Mr. Gaines: Is not the silver certi ficate money? Mr. White: It discharges debts. Mr. Oalnes: Can not you pay taxes with th silver dollar? Mr. White: Yes. Mr. Gaines: . Is not that money? Did you ever hear of taxes being paid la anything else but money? Mr. White: Yes, sir. I have "worked out" taxes myself. Mr. Gaines: I do not doubt but what that may be; I have heard of "penal tie" being Imposed on people and of their working them out. Do you know how many gold contracts are In ex istence in the United States? Mr. White: I do not know exactly the figure, but I know there are a great many railroad bonds of that kind Issued. Mr. Gaines: Are sot all the railroad bonds In fact payable In gold? Mr. White: I think most of them are. Mr. Gaines: To that extent does rot that say to silver and paper money, "You shall not pay this debt." and to that extent enforce the disuse of those moneys, and to that extent prevent a parity from being maintained, the veiy thing that this bill proposes to main tain or do, and the very thing that Is the pronounced policy of the govern ment? Mr. White: I said a little while ago that the silver dollar is not money. Subsidiary silver is not money; it is small change; and the silver dollar is large change. The fact that you have made It legal tender doe not make it money. Anything may be legal tender that congress chooses. Mr. Gaines: Let us agree for the purpose of my argument that it la money because the government makes and says it is money. Do you not produce a disuse and thereby a dispar ity between gold and silver coins just in proportion as you increase gold contracts? Mr. White: No. Mr. Gaines: Its use would be les sened? " ' Mr. White: The government re ceipt will finally be collected in silvei exclusively, and the government will hav no money to meet Its gold obliga tions. That is the only way it can produce disparity. Mr. Gaines: Then you agree that there Is money in this country except gold money? Mr. White: I do affirm that most positively. I mean t-i say this:. That lny other kind of money you have doed not meet the scientific definition ot money, which Is a measure of value and a medium of exchange. Mr. Gaines: I am not talking about the scientific part of It, I am talking about the legal part of it the money congress coins into standard dollars. Mr, White: Money that is not scientific is not money at all. Mr. Gaines: Is not paper money some we issuer scientific money? Mr. White: No. I call that cur rency. Mr. Shafroth: It is a mere promise tQ pay, but I thought the silver dollar was money, ' Mr. Gaines: You say the silver dol lar is not money?. . . Mr. White: . I said so. WESTERN ENTERPRISE Lar Skips Will Sail Dirct From Chica a to all the Port Loadod With American Good. On April 25 the Northwestern, a sea-going steamship, built in Chicago shipyards, laden with Chicago products and manneu by Chicago seamen will Steam out of the Chicago harbor bound for Hamburg. The following day the Northman, a sister ship and similarly laden, will follow. In its wake, with Liverpool the objective point. These ships will be followed on May 1 and 4 by the Northeastern and Northtown, each making its first voy age to Hamburg and Liverpool and without the unloading of cargo until its destination is reached. Eighteen dr ys will be consumed in their course through the great lakes, the St. Law rence river. Gulf cf St. Lawrence and across the ocean to their European ports. Although nearly two months inter vene before the first of these leaves the Chicago wharf, the Northwestern Steamship company is in daily receipts of applications for space aboard, and a number have been rejected because of the character of the cargo. Large consignments of flour, lard, meats, agricultural implements, lum ber, logs, copper end copper ore have already arranged, 80 per cent of which is the product of Chicago. It is said by Warren F. lJurdy, man ager of the company, that one Chicago manufacturer of agricultural . imple ments made application during last December for the entire space of the four vessels for his wares, but his re quest was denied because the weight of such a cargo would be too light for the space occupied, and only that space was granted to him as is al lott.J to his class of merchandise. The ships are still in course of con struction, and will : -t be delivered to the owners until April 15, when the loading of the four will be begun. These vessels have a capacity of 3,566 tons, equal to the capacity of the St. Louis, St. Paul, New York or Paris of the American line, and it is claimed for them by their owners that they can land Chicago merchandise in Lon don or Liverpool as quickly by this route as can be done by the old route, br rail to New York and thence by wa ter to their destination. , PERTINENT QUESTIONS Has That Wealth Arrived From the Phil ippines and if to. Please Tell Who Has it. Editor Independent: As I have not been able to read much for the last year I would be pleased to have you or some competent person write an ar ticle setting forth the condition of the war in the Philippines. It was con tended that there was great wealth there and that we should hold on to the country. Has any of the wealth been turned over to us and if so who has it? If we are still to get the wealth, when can we look for Its ar rival? If it does not arrive soon had we not better go after It?. If we get that, why not afterwards go for the wealth on the Islands held by Great Britain? There is great wealth there and the main island would make a magnificent coaling station. We could probably get it in less time than it will take to get the suffrages of the people on the island of Luzon and make good loyal Americans out or the Filipinos. The English people talk our language and we could make them understand what we wanted of them. Their queen now being dead, they have little to live for and the McKlnley govern ment is allied to them in common in terests. After that we could gobble the whole universe on the plan of the trusts. One government would cost less than a whole lot of governments. We could cut down expenses and cheapen the product. If two of our republican candidates for the senate would agree to these ideas and put them before the presi dent, it is more than probable that they would speedily be elected. I am occupying a room in St. Eliza beth's hospital, Lincoln, under the con trol of the sisters and a doctor. I wish you would send someone to read The Independent and letters to me. I will give him a dollar. L. G. TODD. RIFLES and PISTOLS have justly earned their repu tation for Accuracy, Durabil ity and Penetration. THE CRACK SHOT is very popular among the boys.

Congressman Sutherland keeps plug ging away endeavoring to get legisla tion beneficial to the west. He is a member of the committee on reclama tion of the arid lands and he has worked persistently to get an appro priation for sinking artesian wells. At last he persuaded the committee to in sert it in a bill favorably reported from that committee! He' also filed a suplementary report to the report of the committee which was as followsi 1 Indorse the report made by Mr. Reeder of Kansas on the bill reported by the committee on Irrigation of arid lands, and believe that it fully sets forth the reasons why said bill should become a law. But availing myself of the permission given by the commit tee, I desire to call especial attention to the provision of the bill that author izes the director of the geological sur vey to sink artesian wells for experi mental purposes in the great plains region of the west. I offered a bill making a provision for the sinking of artesian wells, but as the committee have Seen fit to In corporate thrj principle in the bill Just reported. I deem It unwise to push a measure for that project alone. Prof. N. H. Darton and also Professor New ell, both of the geological survey, ap peared before the committee and at great length gave reasons why H would be advisable to confer upon the geological survey power to carry on the work Of experiment by sinking ar tesian wella In Nebraska and Kan sas and other portions of the great plains region. From a careful Inves tigation of their testimony and Other matters presented to our committee, I gather the following facts: The wide area of plains which ex tend from the Missouri river to the foot of the Rocky mountains IS un derlain by a series of great sheets of clays, sandstones and limestones, ly ing on a floor of granite, etc. The sandstones and some of the limestones in this series carry a large volume of water, which has been tapped at many places and apparently is available in nearly every part of the region. All the water-bearing formations and as sociated beds of clays, etc., are of great extent, and they orcur in regular suc cession, througnout. The lower beds do not vary greatly in thickness, but the upper ones are less regular in this regard. They ull dip gently eastward with the slope Of the plains, but there are occasional local variations. The granite floor rises to the surface at the west in the Rocky mountains. Black K Xn r V i y-ar Hills, etc., and to the east in eastern South Dakota and In the lake states, is well as at a few points south. Geological surveys in the plains havn been made for the purpose of ascer taining the distribution, order of suc cession, and thickness of the water bearing formations and their asso ciates, so that we now have a general knowledge of these factors for a large portion of the plains region, with de tailed knowledge for some restricted areas wbich are considered typical. The series of rocks upturned against the Rocky mountains and Black Hills have been measured and all available data secured from borings In the plains area. The result of these investiga tions have been brought together in Several reports already Issued or In press. In portions of the plains where the formations are nearly . level and there are local Increases in thickness In the upper beds, it has not been found possible to make precise predic tions of depth to the water-bearing beds, but enough of the relations and structure are known to indicate with certainty that the greater part of the plains region from Montana to Texas is underlain with water-bearing sands, sandstones and limestones. In some areas they He deep, over 2, 000 feet. In others they are much nearer the surface and have been, or can be, easily reached by borings. In some districts waters have been found which are too much mineralized for domestic use, but in these cases there are prospects for finding other waters at greater depths which may be fresh. In investigating the undergrOund water problem the question of head or pressure has been considered with especial care, for it bears on prospects for obtaining artesian flows." The wa ters pass underground in the highlands adjoining the Rocky mountains, Big Horn mountains and Black Hills, but the beds bearing them eventually dis charge the waters in springs along the zone of outcrops in the lowlands eastward, so that the initial head is not maintained. Consequently grad ient of pressure exists, and in parts of the region the head is sufficient to af ford surface flows, while in others it is insufficient, and waters, although .ris ing part way in borings, have to be pumped to the surface. , The head of the water varies in the different water-bearing layers, usual ly being greatest in the deepest ones, so that if a flow is not obtainable from a well of moderate depth a deeper bor ing might yield a flow. In several parts of the plains the underground waters have been reached by borings and their value fully proven, but there are wide areas in which no adequate attempts have . been made to reach them. Having these great sheets of water bearing beds beneath the surface of the Great Plains, it is now important to make them more generally avail able.

The greatest need at present is for deep test bor ings at points in the central portion of the plains, where the results will indi cate the depth and capabilities of the water-bearing formations. There are numerous localities in which Such test wells would afford most useful information of this charac ter and have good prospects of suc cess. A few: successful wells would give encouragement for sinking wells to many persons or, communities that could not risk the expense of a deep boring if they were not reasonably cer tain of a satisfactory result. .. . Some of the test borings above sug gested should be from 1,000 to 1,200 feet deep, others would need to be over 2,600 feet, and these deeper ones would have to be sunk under careful supervision ot experienced operators to insure success. In the deeper wells a great mass of clays have to be pene trated and first-class machinery and skilled men are necessary to bore them successfully. RODERICK D. SUTHERLAND. The Cuban Constitution The American people might as well begin to prepare for another war, If no check is given to the imperial craze that has taken possession of McKlnley and his followers. This administra tion Is determined to annex Cuba. Senator Hale foresaw it and soon an nounced it in the senate more than a year ago. It was vehemently de nounced at that time, but now it Is as vehemently advocated by the very same parties. The Cuban constitution, first sub mitted by the central committee to the convention at the-public session ot January 21, was signed February 21 One copy was sent to Governor General Wood and the other placed among the records of the convention. The presi dent and vice presidents 6igned first and the delegates followed in the or der of their seats on the floor of the convention, the two secretaries signing last. Senor Cisneros created a sensa tion by refusing to sign. He said: "Cuba1 Is now independent and I can see no reason for sending this con stitution, to the United States for ac ceptance. The United States govern ment has no right to pass on it, for it is a distinctly Cuban document and was drawn up by this convention, which has assumed4 the responsibility of establishing the republic." Several - delegates crowded around him and . endeavored . to dissuade , him from his course, but he was immov able. As the delegates retired Senor Tamay remarked: , f'We are alii Cubans, senor," and Senor .Cisneros .replied: "Yes; when the time comes to fight the Americans we will fight them to (TP CP the fsee of the : draft,. The full. has Often been v any angle des sired, - thrown to and from vjlJ I V o CP I I o .$15 90 gether." . . . , Then he turned toward the press table, and, shaking his fist at the Am erican newspaper men, he said: "The Americans are like the mon key. When the monkey closes its paw on a thing It never wants to let go." , The constitution will be translated and a copy In English will be sent to Washington with the original. The result of this whole business will be that an American Weyler will be sent to Cuba within the next two years. They will probably stave off fighting until sometime near the next campaign and try to retain power by creating another war craze when it will be the proper thing to denounce every man who opposes the republican party as a traitor. ' Then the drum head court-martial and shdoting will come in as advocated by that distin guished statesman, Cannon of Illinois. Burlington Routs North west.
