A NATIONAL PoLICE.-Gen. Shcr-
mans late report states that "tbe aggre-
gate of the army now consist Of 25,3Sl
men" While this is small military
establishment compared with those of
European empires, it is matter of pro-
found congratulation that under our cir
cumstances it is no larger. The gov
ernments of Europe find pretext tor
large standing armies in the absence OF
that patriotic and well-regulated militia
which is relied upon IN this country as
the bulwark of freedom, and in the as
sumed necessity of protecting them
selves from their neighbors, who have
also large standing armies; the Chief
reason, in one and all, being to keep
down the people and enable the few to
lord it over the many. In this country
there is no need OF large standing ar
nv, inasmuch as each OF the States has
a militia which in the aggregate of all
would more than equal any of the stand
ing armies of Europe, aud which in
fact did the most Of the fighting in the
late civil war, the regulars having been
but drop in the bucket of that great
convulsion. Gen. Sherman himself,
whose battery was taken from him at
the first Manassas by raw militia
company, can no doubt testify from bis
own experience to the efficiency of that
branch of the American military service
Moreover, we have no neighboring ri
val powers 20 guard against, as the Eu-
ropean nations have, and even the In
dams, our only enemies, are beginning to
be so thipned out and powerless that
our standing army might be reduced 10
half its present plumbers without injury
to the public interest. 1t is to be hoped
in view Of the heavy burthens which
the taxpayers are already compelled 10
bear, that all unnecessary expense il
the army and navy will be cut down
AT present, under the perversion OF law
bad as most of the laws lately enacted
in such connection are, the army is fall
, ing to the scale off mere police force
with arms in its hands, with the PreSi
dent of the United States at its head a:
the national chief of police and the gen
enai of army az his deputy. If this is &c
continue the States and our chief cite;
should be formally advised of it, so that
they may not continue at such heavy
expense in supporting their local police
establishments = Btdfin,ore Sun.

ruE NExr SPEAKER.

The New York Tribune says "the
same master hand that guided the
democracy through the oampalg" Will
direct every movement in the more ex-
ritinc contest that impends In Congress
air. Tilden is to name the Speaker, 1t Is
ss;d, aed will thus preside by proxy in
The House 1t is safe to say that there
will be shrewd selection. Gov. Til
,teu ia a matter like this, knows no re-
sen,rnen,s and is ignorant of friendships.
There will be Que blunder the less in
the deuocratic history" Fortunate tor
the country will it be if the remarks OF
the Tribune prove to be true. AT no
peried of its history has there been a
greater need of cool head and steady
auud to guide the ship of state through
the breakers which the political storm
has dashed into fury around her. The
wisdom and astuteness Of Mr.. Illden
will 20 far towards bringing the eoun-
try back TO her old landmarks, aud un-
der his guidance, though by proxy:
we have firm faith that the House Of
REPRESENTATIVES will do nothing that
will imperil the peace OF the nation, or
that will in any way disappoint the
hopes Of the people in the ultimate trl-
umph of the right over the attempt OF
the radical dynasty to set at defiance
the will of the people, and to continue
their infamous rule though it be at the
risk of revolution and anarchy.
That MIR. Tilden "knows no resent
men,," as admitted by the Tribune, Is
further proof of his eminent fitness tor
the performance of the high duties
which the exigencies OF the times have
deyolved upon him. a man OF trans
cendant abilities, unhinching courage,
patriotic in his devotion to his country,
hos,ileto chicanery and corruption in ev-
cry form public and private, the coun-
try will be safe should the scales finally
be turned in his favor, and peace would
once more spread her gentle wings ov-
er the land. Under his wise guidance
such scenes as are presented in South
Carolina and other Southern States
would scarcely be possible, and the
creatures who now seem to control the
destinies of great States would soon be
comoelled to seek other fields and pas
lures green.

m- YE TRAMp-Eyerybody now.

@ YE TRAMP-Everybody nova
days seems ready to give the individual
who "walks" the highway kick and
denounce him as tramp" Now ev-
cry one who is compelled to "walk"
from one place to another, is not necces-
sarily "tramp." The hard times have
much to do with the wanderings of ma.
ny of these unfortunates. They find
nothing to do at their proper homes, ard
so they wander abroad in search of en-
ployment, and, pity to say, generally
without finding it. Some of them have
families and earnestly desire to support
them, and consequently do not deserve
to be denounced as cramps" The gen.
uine taamp is nuisance that should be
abated, but give the honest poor devil
who really wants something TO do fair
chance with the rest of US, and don't
give them bad name to begin with.

nag These are the times when small
men and uuprincipled men come to the
surface, and when men of patriotism and
ability are at a discount. Since the DAY
when Gen. Grant first assumed the relns
of government there has been dear'h
of real intelligence in all its various de-
partments. and mediocrity has been at a
premium. This is no less true than 1t Is
unfortunate. No man ever went into
the White House with finer opportuni-
ties tor influence than Gen. Grant, yet
he has utterly failed to appreciate the
high responsibilities resting upon him.
and he will 90 out OF Office despised by all
and regretted by few. He is partisan
and nothing more, and tine less said of
him the better for the credit Of the

kay- The continued unsettled condl-

The Great Exposition.

Messrs, Hubbard Bros, 1888 Sansord
Street, Philadelphia, advance sheets OF
a forthcoming volume, which will great
ly interest every American. 1t Is emil
tied "TnE CENTENNIAL ExPosITIoN De-
scRrBEp AND ILLUSTRATED, and is CONF
plete history and pictorial representa-
ton of this grandest worlds fair the
world has ever known.
Every intelligent and thoughtful per-
son who has visited the Exposition and
comprehended not only its vast proper
tions but its wide significance, will be
glad to find it photographed aud pre-
served in permanent form in this beau
tiful and carefully prepared volume,
The great Exposition is really rep
resentation of all that the human race
has accomplished during its career of six
thousand years. The nations OF the
earth of every cline selected that which
embodied their best thought and their
highest achievements in every depart
ment of human effort, and bringing them
together, invited the world to behold
the last and most perfect results OF all
that man has accomplished in every
field OF thought, industry and skill.
Of the millions of our citizens who
have expended from $50 to 5000 each
in viewing and studying this wonderful
display, we have never heard of one
who did not feel amply repaid for the
expense of time and money involved.
These millions desire to study more at
leisure what they could then examine
but hurriedly, and many millions more
who could not visit and see it, desire TO
possess a work which shall give them a
full and adequate representation OF this
grand and wonderful exhibition. To
supply this urgent demand is the object
of this work. 1t has been prepared from
material gathered On the grounds. by
the most careful, patient and laborious
research, and from official sources, and
though it does not claim, as many do,to
be by official authority, it commands
confidence thereby, Gen. Hawley having
announced that no book has any right
to such claim. 1t describes briefly the
inception and growth of this grand en-
terprise, but mainly the wonderful ex-
hibits of the Nations of the New and
Old World, showing their different pc
cularities, values, curiosities of mechan-
ism, &c, and contrasting them one with
the other.
But the interest and value of the book
lie largely in its profuse and brilliant il
Illustrations. In this multitude of finely
executed engravings, the main features
of the Exhibition are wildly impressed
on the mind of the reader in way that
words cannot do. 1t is the next thing
to seeing the great Worlds fair ITSELF
We advise our readers to examine the
book carefully should they have au op-
portunity. We presume the publishers
want agents in this vicinity, and we
hope some of our energetic young men
will improve what seems to US an extra
ordinary opportunity to serve our citi-
zens and do a handsome paying bust
ness.
