A Military Ticket.
. Macon Telegraph.
A Washington special to the Phil
adelphia Record, containing the as
sertion that General Miles is a can
didate for president, that he is con
ducting a strategic campaign with a
view to the democratic nomination
two years hence, that he is confident
that a military ticket will be popu
lar, and wants either Schley or Dew
ey as the candidate for vice presi
dent, continue as follows:
“Gen. Miles is very anxious to be
revenged for his reprimand, and he
is also anxious for a popular vindi
cation of Admirals Schley and Dew
ey, both of whom possess his warm
est admiration. He felt very keenly
for the two admirals when they were
censured, and now that he has been
censured for expressing his feelings,
the friends of Schley and Dewey
have become the fast friends and al
lies of the general commanding the
army.
“Gen. Miles has written a great
number of letters to friends high in
the democratic party, and has prac
tically laid his case before them. He
asserts that the president treated
him with great brutality; that the
president had no right under the
regulations to reprimand him with
out first securing a court-martial,
and*fimilly, that when he went to tho
White House to see the president,
Mr. Roosevelt did not invite him to
go into the cabinet room for a pri
vate talk, but rushed at him and
fired at him a fusilade of censure the
moment they came together.”
The fact that President Roosevelt
treated Gen. Miles "with great bru
tality” certainly does not fit the lat
ter to become president of the Uni
ted States. Nor will any people—•
granting the truth of tho above re
port—be able' to understand why
Miles should head the ticket and
Schley or Dowey form tho tail. A
direct reversal would seem to be
more in accordance with the popu
larity of tho candidates, if not with
their ability in the lino of states
manship.
For the rest it may be paid that,
tho democracy is at present without
a suitable candidate, that a military
ticket will inspire enthusiasm with
at least a part of the people, and
that any candidate will stand a’bet-
ter chance in 1904 than Bryan stood
or any other democrat could have
stood in 1900, President McKinley
having won the affection as well as
tho respect of the people at large.
The party will bo fortunate in hav
ing a Roosevelt instead of a McKin
ley to fight in 1904, Let us hope,
however, that the democracy will go
into the fight armed with a ticket
more rational and stronger than the
proposed one composed of the two
abused officers of tho army and na
vy respectively. T^e country wants
to see the hero of Santiago receive
his due and the head of the army
treated with decency, but that does
not imply that the country wantB to
see either of them placed in an ex
alted position for which they have
had no training.

CONDENSED STORIES.
Mow Ml(lals Secured Unconventional
Trelawney as a Model.
J. G. Millais in hi« life of his fa
ther, the famous artist, tells of the
immense pains and trouble taken by
the latter to secure good subjects
and good models. The best of these
is the tale of the painting of “The
Northwest Passage.” Millais was
determined to have a real veteran
adventurer as his model and knew
that the fittest person was that un
conventional character Trelawney,
the friend of Byron, privateer, pi
rate and the author of that extraor
dinary work, “The Adventures of a
Younger Son.” But Trelawney,
while retaining all the willfulness
and temper of youth, had become
businesslike and a teetotaler in hia
old age. He was not going to sit
for nothing, and he would, not be
painted with a glass of grog! Lady
(then Mrs.) Millais made fresh ad
vances. At last Trelawney said:
“Well, I have some shares in a Turk
ish bath. If you will take six tick
ets at 2s. Gd. each, I will give your
husband six sittings, one after each
time you patronize the bath.” So
the matter was arranged. But Trc-
lawney refused to have any grog
painted in the glass. Millais put it
in afterward to give a needed bit of
light and color. Trelawney was an
gry, but the grog is still in the
glassr
