We observe that the appropriation asked for
the recruiting service of the Regular Army Is
said to be two hundred thousand dollars in
excess of that given last year. Now that the
tempey of the House is conclusively shown to
be in favor of g reduction of the army, we
submit that this recruiting fund not only ought
not to be increased 10y either two hundred
thousand, or two hundred dollars, but that the
whole recruiting business ought to be sum-
marily suspended, and the recruiting officers
ordered to duty with their regiments. Let us
not go through the farce of dischargng
the men in the ranks of fifteen regi-
ments from the service, and then straightway
spending "a third or q halfmilhon dollars in
costly drumming for recruits for the remaining
thirty. We know very well that the recruiting
service is delightful field OF duty Our
elegant young officers find nothing plcasanter
than soldiers fare Mt the Fifth Avenue or
the st. Nicholas, while strenueusly serving
their country by adjoining our fashionable
parlors with their buttons, and by keeping
an obsequious orderly and an obstreperous
drummer beside the flag at the recruiting
"oflice.n But we doubt if the luster thus shed
at once upon the service and our best society
is quite worth, to the debt-ridden Nation,
half million dolars-nor yet third Of
n million; nor even the "two hundred thou
"sand Increase asked in the appropriation bill
There is q class now in the service-and
likely to remain there--whom we would hike
first to provide for. Some of them are "oilicers,"
too-the commission of one lies before us now.
1t greets all that shall see these presents with
the announcement that, reposing special trust
and confidence in tho patriotism, valor,
fidelity, and abilities of the bearer, the au-
thorities do hereby appoint him Corporal
in Company - of the TIL Regiment of lnfan-
try in the service of the United States. While
the subject of army management and army
expenditures is up at Washington, wenyite the
attention of Congressman to stories like that
of this officer of the army, some extracts from
which, rs written down by himself, have hitherto
been given in these columns. 1t seems to us
that there went very small allowance of decent
treatment to keep company with all that array
of patriotism, valor, fidelity. and abilities
wherein the Government officially proclaimed
its special trust and confidence.

A table has recently been published giving
some interesting statistics of the New ork
theaters, which afford employment, as it ap-
pears, to 1896 actors, actresses and other en-
ployGs. This, however, does not represent tho
actual number Of persons who earn their sup
port by ministering to the public taste for
amusement, as no account is taken of the
various concerts and other musical entertain
ments which are given at irregular intervals
in different halls, and the number Of which
averages three or four q week all through the
Winter The same table gives the average
daily attendance at the theaters as 23,3GO, and
the average daily receipts as $14,G6s. These
figures can only be regarded as approximations
to the truth, and in some cases represent not
the attendance at particular theater, but its
seating capacity. Making allowance, however,
for the concert-goers, who are not set down at
all, tho totals are probably very near the
truth. Most of our theaters this Winter are
unusually prosperous. The progress of ma
tional prosperity and peace exerts an exhila-
rating effect.

c0NCEHYLNG TILE CENSUS.

A special committee has been appointed to
present to the House plan for taking the
next United States Census. So many questions
enter into any adequate report of nations
growth, and so many Others are involved in
maturing any satisfactory plan for having that
report accurate, that we are glad to observe
that the House has at the lead of its Commit
tee, in the person of Gen. Garfield, one
Of its most studious and sagacious thinkers.
Precisely what information shall be collected
is point on which we trust the Committee
will not fail TO consult the exactng demands
of modern statisticians. 1t adds but triile to
the expense to include dozen fresh subjects
for the inquiries Of the census-takers; and we
only need to avail ourselves of the best
methods for collecting and classifying the facts
thus brought in to secure the best, most COM
prehensve, and most minute picture OF great
nations condition and progress that has ever
been preserved for the guidance of her states
men and the encouragement of her people.
Two things we want-a system of schedules
that shall be plain enough TO avoid bewilder-
ing the census-takers or the people, and so
arranged that their results may admit OF the
most thorough classification; and, second, a
system that, while satisfying these conditions,
shall allow comparisons not only with the
data furnished in our own previous census re-
norris. but with the statistics collected by other
nations. For the first of these We
imagine that the Committee will find
a basis, satisfactory in many respects, in
the labors Of our late Census Office. In the
other, the problem becomes more complex.
Various congresses of European statistlclans
have been held to devise means for securing
uniformity at least in the general outline OF
the systems adopted by the several govern
ments and the results Of these conferences
should be carefully studied.
| The effects of the war on population, on in
dustry, on education, morals, distribution OF
land and the like, will be the subjects concern
ing which the revelations Of the next census
will be most anxiously awaited. cognate
topic of inquiry will be the effects of emanci-
patton upon the slaves, the masters, the pros
perity Of the South, and the prosperity OF the
whole country. Scarcely less attractive Is
another broad field of investigation, the bare
outline of which we can only suggest by mem
tioning the late thesis Of an elaborate Govern
ment report, that, under the effects Of an ex-
banded currency, protective legislation and heavy
taxation, the poor in this country have been
growing poorer, and the rich richer; labor has
been oppressed the laborer's wages have not
kept pace with the advance in the cost OF his
living, and capital has reaped unjust rewards.
On scores of points like these, growing out OF
the war and connecting themselves with
every class and every interest, the next
census ought to give definite informa-
ton. The judicious preparation of its
schedules becomes therefore work of the
! first Importance, and to this We trust that the

The Constituent Cortes of Spain met yester-
day. 1t is again announced as certain that
Rivero, who was originally a Republican, and
is now classed among the Democratic Mon
archists, will be chosen President. The only
competitor that has been mentioned thus Jar is
Olozaga, n Progressist, but an opponent OF lib
eral legislation in church questions The latest
statements about the strength of the several
parties still somewhat differ but they con-
firm, in the main, the figures given a
few days ago by our Madrid correspondent.
The Moderados, or adherent5 of Isabella, are
credited with from two to six members. Inc
Absolutists, or Carlists, have about twenty.
The number of the Liberal Unionists, who hold
the same principles as the Liberal Conservatives
in other European countries, is about eighty
The Progressists have large plurality, count
ing about one hundred and seventy, while the
number of Democrats is estimated at about
twenty On the question of the future Gov
eminent all these are expected to vote for the
restoration of a monarchy, thus giving an
overwhelming majority against the Republl-
cans, OF whom there are about seventy But
ON many points of the Constitution large
number of Progressists may vote with the
Democrats and Republicans and thus secure
the passage of n Constitution with ut least
some radical features

What is the precise duty of the President OF
the Senate in q case like that Of Georgia seems
to us a matter of grave importance. What
may have been the merits or dement's
of Mr.. Senator Wades droll performances

precedent seems to us a matter of the least
possible Importance If the gentlemen OF
the House who are flashing themselves

serve their precious tempers

We have always supposed Mr. Garrett Davis
a harmless innocent, whose worst passion was
his love for the sound of his own voice. 1t Is
hard to regard him less wise than we have
hitherto rated him; but we are forced to
believe that he is either more ignorant. or
more malicious than we had thought. What
were the rest of the Senators-fOr whom the
same charitable plea of not knowing any better
is not conceivable-what were they thinking
of when they permitted the flagrant violation
of one of the best known rules governing
both Senate and House, in the reception OF a
resolution grossly rejecting on members OF
the coordinate branch2 These gentlemen have
been saying some hard things of the demeanor
of the House, but through the whole turbulent
scene at the counting of the electoral ballots,
the House did nothing so indecent as that.

1t may be considered certain, after the de-

Foreign Relations Committee that Mr.. Reverdy
Jbhnson's Alabama treaty has not the ghost of

attent ion of Gen. Garleld's Committee may be
carefully directed. Legislation at best can
only map out the outlines of the work; but
everything depends on the judgment with
which these outlines are marked
When and by whom the census shall
be taken is matter Of scarcely less con-
Germ. suggestion, certainly quite piaus-
ible. has been made, that the Assessors
of Internal Revenue, by reason or their
presumed intimate acquaintance with most Oh
the topics on which information is to DC col
lected, might very properly be charged WIN
the work in their respective districts Ohe
which we regard as of more Importance IS
that, whoever does it, the arrangements should
be such as to insure its being promptly DONE
IF possible, the census-takers should make
their returns within week, or at furthest d
fortnight from the time they begin their task
To have all the facts collected over
the entire country on q single day would
he still better. Then the work OF re-
ducing these returns and publishing the results
should be peremptorily limited to third of
the time spent on the last census we want
the facts before they are out OF date.
The subject is a broad one, and very many
and complex considerations enter into 1t. we
have limited at two or three Of the most OBJ
vious. in the hope that these may serve to I'M
press upon the Committee the gravity and
magnitude of their task and TO stimulate in
their aid the suggestions OF thoughtful men
throughout the country.
