confidence is felt here in the result OF any expe-

aid of yesterday, which has until recently de
Tended the Administration, says. editor'ally: We

To me, who witness from day to day the
shameful manner in which Our splendid army Is
mismanaged by the stupid and imbecile triumvi-
rate who control matters here, it seems unac

dure il any longer. In two years oil war the
Government has called out and had under arms
/ 200 900 men OF these, 100000 have been
killed or permanently disabled, leaving 100000
now under pay During this time the Govern
ment has spent two millions of dollars every day,
| or contracted debts 10 that amount besides over
whelming the country with weight of national
debt that can Lever be paid. This vast military
strength, these boundless resources, are utterly
useless in the hands OF the present Administration

time that General Monck restored her constitu-
tional government, half ms imbecile the ad
