On that same day, Wednesday, the twenty•third
instant, the Standard, in its Summary of News,
referred to the Wareham Election thus—lt said,
" Although the general election is over, and the
return of the new Ministry everywhere unopposed,
we have to-day to record a Conservative triumph.
A contest took place yesterday at Wareham to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Hales
Calcraft. The candidates were Mr. Calcraft
a brother of the deceased member, and Mr. Drax,
who was defeated at the general election. The
electors have now politically reversed their former
decision the numbers at the close of the poll being
Drax (C), 374 ; Calcraft (L), 305 ; majority,
69. This result is mainly due to the absence of
divided efforts and a second Conservative candi-
date, as at the general election the numbers were—
Calcraft (L), 314; Drax (C), 301 ; Freemantle (C),
68." Since then, purely by inadvertence, when
reissuing, on Christmas, for the convenience of our
readers, the complete list for the new Parliament, the
name of Mr. Calcraft was retained as M.P. for
Wareham instead of being replaced, as it ought to
have been, by that of Mr. Drax. But—as proof po-
sitive of that circumstance being, as we have said,
simply an inadvertence—the Wareham election was
distinctly referred to in another part of The Sun of
that same date—Friday, the 25th instant—as a
triumph achieved by the Conservative candidate.
In justice to ourselves, as well as in justice to Mr.
Drax, now M.P. for Wareham, we publish this ex-
planation.—[ED. SUN.]

ARTICLES NOT APPROVED OF EX-
CHANGED or the MONEY RETITRNED.

IT is very clear that the chiefs of our national spending
departments will have a difficult task in effecting any
savings. Just as we all admit ourselves to be
miserable sinners en masse, but resist as an insult
the personal application of the phrase to ourselves
individually, so the " departments," while admitting
that the expenditure is too high en bloc, will
not hear of a reduction being applied to them in
detail. At the present moment the organs of
the two military services are in a state of white hot
indignation because the Government is determined
to reduce our army and navy. Even journals which
commend this conduct in their leading articles
admit severe strictures in the column devoted to
" Military and Naval Intelligence." A sacrilegious
hand has been laid upon the Royal Marines, and
therefore it is discovered to be by far the most useful
corps in either service. The most unworthy
reasons are assigned for the selection of this
particular force, how unfairly is proved by the
imputer's own words, since he immediately goes no
to speak of other contemplated reductions in which
the motives imputed cannot apply. In this second
case boldness of assertion is made to take the place
of slanderous suggestion. The rumour that a reduc
tion of the army by 20,000 men is about to be effected
elicits a protest against any diminution of our
" already ridiculously small army," and a warning
that the state of affairs in the East will render
it necessary for us, if not to go to war, at
least to negotiate, and " that in no tone of timidity
or time-serving. Our plenipotentiary must be able
to insist upon what he thinks right." how our pleni-
potentiary is to " insist " upon anything with " our
ridiculously small army" is not explained. The
paragraph which we have quoted is indeed utterly
inconsequential ; but it is a fair specimen of the
arguments which are common in professional
circles—arguments which hitherto have prevailed
with the nation.

THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE

It requires but little reflection to see that our army
is either too large or too small. It is too small if, as
the United Service Gazette would imply, it ought to
be used to back up diplomacy. This was the fatal
error of 1864. We talked big, and blustered; but
when the Powers we threatened (taking a more
accurate estimate of our military strength than we
had done) heeded neither our exhortations nor
our threats, we were compelled to abandon
the little State that had been lured on
into obstinate and fatal resistance by our
promise of support, and we inflicted a sorer blow
upon our prestige than if we had lost a battle. Since
then the armies of the Great Powers have gone on
increasing. France and Prussia could each bring a
million of men into the field within a month.
Austria has lately fixed her standing army at 800,000.
There is not one of the Great Powers which could not
crush us utterly if we came to a hand-to-hand con-
flict. Add to this, that our army, " absurdly small"
as it is, has to do duty in five continents,
and we see how small a matter is the
disbanding of 20,000 men. But while our
army is too small to affect the politics
of Europe ; while we shall never again, unless we are
actually demented, fight to maintain the Turkish
Empire or to bring about a new Treaty of Vienna
for future NAPOLEONS to tear up ; our army is far
too large fort the only purpose to which it can be
applied—thatof self-defence, That is aptitpose,more-.
