The temper of the peiple in IVnuhinnton wan show n Friday eyeningf when Admiral S-.hley attended a performanre at one of the Washington theatera. H e was cheered to the echo, the large ana - fashionable audi enre rising to their feet and i-eniauiiiiji standing until the Admiral had t'Oiiie to the front of the box and btwd his acknowledgements. Gen eral miles has resumed bio resumed his.dutiesin thaWar Department and has conclu ded to ignore the reprimand be received. He well knows that he has no friends in thp administration and that both Corbin and Root will rejoce in his humiliation. His statement in support of Ad miral Dewey, however, by r ceived the approval of the ppopleand of the press all o vr the country. There is now littla doubt but that the Senate will be compelled to materially re vise the Vhilippine Tariff bill whi h was passed by t h e House. The measure,- as it stands, is received the con demnation of a larure number of republicans some of whom characterize it as 'protection run wild.' The most ardent expansionists are not in fa vor of govei ning colonies a long Spanisii lines and a pol icy of oppression will not be tolerated even if it is dictat ed by in protected interests. It is believed that Judge Taft will make representations at the White House as soon as he arrives in Washington which will insure the Presi dent's support of tariff con cessions to the Philippines and which will offer an ex cuse for the Senate to reverse the work of the lower House. . The President is known to be in a quandary as to where to place Judge Taft. Person ally he favors sending h i ni back to the Philippines but the Secretary of War. who is a close friend of Mr. Roose velt, is strongly oppposed to the continuance of the Taft regime. He considers that, the Taft Commission has serious ly failed in the deference it owes to General Chaffee and the military branch of theser vice. Taft is too big a man to yield supinely to the dic tates of the bureaucrats in the War Department. Secre tary Root believes that if he could secure the appointment of a man at the bead of the Commission who would rec ognize in him the lord of his destinies there would be grea ter subseiviency fhown to )be Secretary of War. . , 1 GeiWaly Wood, - befoj-e- his depiirt qre fo 'Ha viiaa Vl 1 d Blithe effective' work for the cause of reciprocity with Cu ba H said VCuha must have a induction' of the tariff on suis a r exported to the Uiii ted States or the island will have to face poverty and con sequent disorder;; She would then become a menace to our health and the United States would have no business rela tions with her worth speak ing about," He said that if reciprocity were established the United States could count on doing" a business with the island amounting to $150,000,000 a year with in three years. He further s. iid that the United States produced but 500.000 tons of sugar ami consumed 2, 400.000 tons and that t h e consumers. paid ahqut t wo cents a' pound. Tor the privi lege of fostering this artifi cial "industry. Mr. Oxnard, of the American IJeet suar Company, is making a vigor ous hVbt to prevent legisla tion mimical to his interests and is said to have periously interested the President in his scheme of paying a bouu t to the Cubai producers in lieu of redueingjr',,e tariff. While the friends lh.e ad ministration, deny that poli tics were at the bottom of the selection of Gov. Shaw to succeed Secretary Gage, it cannot beslenied that the move was a very shrewd one from a political standpoint By it Mr. Roosevelt a ttaehed to himself a man who was an important factor in the W'es tern situation and who, in case Mr. Roosevelt should by any act alienate western re publicans, wouM have stood an excellent chance for the presidents I nomination Got ernor Shaw is a man of mucy ability, and he has the baV pv faculty of making friends easily. The president has al ready realized that his im pulsiveness and his action in the Miles censure and the de termination to uphold Secre tary Long at all cost has for feited him many of his wesi ern admirers and it would Beein that he was casting an anchor to windward when he selected a popular and ambi tious lownn to preside over the treasury. As soon as GovernorjShaw takes the reins he will proba bly dispense with all of Mr. Gage's assistants. Ailes, who is a very young man over whelmed with his own impor tance, will go flrstr General Spaliding, who has been in the Department so loutf that he is described as suffering from 'dry rot,' will soon fol low and only the strength of his political pull, which isn't inconsiderable, will save Hot ace A. Taylor, who has never demonstrated the ability for financial and administrative affaire which characterized his previous efforts at grow ing cranberries.

Death of Colonel Cowlea. , New and Observer. In the death of Hon! WiliT iam Henry Harrison Cowles, of Wilkps county, the State Ioam one of its best men. In peace one) in war he was in the very front, and ranked a mong the most capable and the bravtHt. After a useful Wfe-Hpnt in public servi-e, be retired to hia beautiful farm overlooking the Yadkin river where he spent hia last days in firming;, gjving that time for cnntemnlntion whi,-h Na thaniel Macon thought a 1 1 men ought to give between the huny pursuits ot life and the near approach of death He ipver lost interest in pub lie h fin ire. and. time time he gave his well considered views to his fi ienns who were in the heat of the conflict. This pa per baa been helped by his wine counnel uuij not a few ex tract h from hia pen have been quoted in these columns. He wan well grounded in the faith mid hi democracy was niditiiut. He believed, in the rul ol tin people and saw with deep regret the triumph of these iufluonceH which be thought boded no good to populajjgoveVnuient. Co lonef C q w lea was born in Ha inptonTiHfV4prU 22nd, 1H40. In 1861 he voJatjleer ed as a private in a cayalry company raised -by T. N. Crutnpler. He was elected first lieutenant of that company which was composed of pbk ed young men. He was ani ons the bravest of ihe brave and jih early us the First Ma r.vland raid he was placed in I'omiiiiiin of the extreme ad vance of the cavalry by Stew art. On ret urn he was plac ed in coin maud ol theextreme rear guard. At Auburn where the lamented Rufh'n fell, it waa-Colonel Cowles who ral lied the men auu continued the charge. At Brandy Sta tion Colonel Cowles led ,t h e charge that drove the Tenth New York Cavalry out of line and to the rear. He captured many notable prisoners. In the battle of mine Run Colo-, nel Cowles rendered conspicu ous service, receiving his first wmnd, a tninnie ball pierc ing hia body. Hewas at Brick Church in the engage ment where Gordon fell, and continued in active service until the 3lHt of March, '65, when, in leading; a desperate assault on the ritrht of the enemy near Petersburg where aTter hife horse was shot leay ing hi ni knee deep in water, he a-as shot in the head. He was thought, to be dead and fell in the hand of the Feder al soldiers. He was allowed to jeo houieou parole. After the war Col, Cowles studied law and was admit ted to the bar in 1868, and located at ViIkesboro where ne has since resided. In 1872 and 1874 he was Reading Clerk of the House. In 1874 he was elected Solicitor of the tenth district w h e r e lie made much reputation as an aide and fea Hens prosecutor. In 188-i he was elected to Congress and made a brill iant canvass which is still re membered, driving R. Z. Lin ney from the Held by his bur nine sarchasni. He was re-e letted in 1886, 1888 and in 1890, after which he retired to his magnificent farm that he had bought near Wilkes-' hero. He huilt a large and comfortable home w here he dispensed old time hospitali ty .-' , . -.v-W'-v-.During the war his superi or officers recommended him fot Brigadier General a u d do vernor Vance wrote a strong letter to the Confeder ate authorities At Richmond urging hi6 promotion, but the wur was drawing to a close and the promotion did not come to him, though he had for conspicuous bravery been promoted from private to colonel. When war was de darqd with Spain some of his oU comrades in arras urged him to . accept a Brigadier Generalship, but ha said ''No I cannot serve in this war. My hart is not in it." The ranks ol the brave Con federates are rapidly thin ning. Among them there was not a braver than William H. H. Cowles. He did not know the meaning of fear. He was an ardent patriot-- who loved his country with out counting the cost. In public life he was a fine type of the Southern patriot. His public record is a heritage ol honor to his children. In private life he was genial, considerate, and as true as steeltnysfriends. Ha sleeps well and hissSU' will not for get his patrioticsert Sick Headache Food doesn't digest well? Appet'te poor?
