While Congress is endeavoring to reduce
the number of lghtiug men in our land
service, ii should not be forgotten that the
enlistment and organization of the Tor
pedo Corps recommended by the Chief
Of Engineers will increase the army by 500
men. This force is equivalent to a reg-
ment on. the present peace footing, and
must have its Colonel, field officers, and
regimental commissioned and non-oom-
missioned STAFF This intended augmenta-
ton OF the army by the small number OF
500 men, simple rs il looks on its face, is
but the entering point of Macedonian
wedge that once firmly set, becomes ire
sistible by its constantly increasing num-
bers 1t can hardly be expected that this
corps would long retain the primitive
formation Of a regiment. A bureau would
soon be established at Washington-whero
there are already too many-and at it's
head a chief, having the rank of Brigadier-
General with m indefinitely extended
line OF aiguilletted staff officers and count
less sub-depots Of household troops quar-
tered at the fortified points from Maine to
Alaska.
The influence OF the Engineer Corps,
mainly derived from its intimate connec-
ton with harbor and river improvements
and the dlsbursng OF large sums of money
therefor is sufficiently potent now among
members of Congress. What would that
influence become when strengthened by
another bureau, more stan officers, more
money 10 spend, aud line OF retainers

strcnuously opposed by numerous property

What IL the load Of accusation that Mr..
BLAINE falls underi Is 1t true, or Is il
falsef That is the question. If II is false
he cannot fail under IL. because its falsity
Is ut once demonstrated; and If IL is true
IL certainly ought To crush him.
Moreover, what does our religious con-
temporary mean by saying that Mr..
GREELEY died in 1872 of the same load of
accusation under which BLAINE Is falling
in 1897 Was GREELEY accused OF dealing
in gun contracts, of selling legislation TO
railroad Spectators and getting paid in
bonds in return3 Were there any charges
OF pecunlary corruption brought against
Horace GREELEY in that envenomed can
vass! Not mt all. The only accusations
levelled against him were that he had
bailed JKFFERsoN DAVIS, that he was dis
posed TO 20 too far in lenlty toward the
South that he was not sound in his theory
about speedily resuming specie payments;
that he was not a man OF such general
practical sense and good judgment, rs n
President ought to be. That was the
whole of the attack against Mr.. GREELEY
in that canvass There was nothing new
about 1t except that It was presented with
a great deal OF earnestness and spirit; and
the assertion that he died from IL is not
true. He died because he was not elected
because the strain of the canvass upon his
nervous system was beyond his reactive
power, and because he believed that the
Tribune had been ruined by his candidacy.
President GRANT is equally unsound. lie
is a very stolid man and very tough man,
and If he never drank whiskey. his chance
of a long life would be exceedingly good.
The accusations against him have never
shaken him at all. They might have been
ten times as black and ten times rs ear
nestly presented without seriously affect
ing his peace of mind. All that hurts him
is that the accusations are true. IL IL be-
cause BELKNAP is impeached, and RoBE-
SON deserves to be- because his private
secretary, having helped his friend sHEP-
HERD To plumber the Government of more
than million by cheating measurements
in Washington, is caught in another con-
spiracy 10 accuse an innocent man of burg
larry, and is detected in swindling the
Treasury by crooked whiskey at st. Louis.
These are the things that depress the
spirits of GRANT. All that the newspapers
have had to do with them il to make the
facts public; but If these facts were fic-
titious he would not mind them
There Is too much OF such bosh in the
political dispositions Of the religious press.
Either they write without knowledge, or
without Judgment, or without conscience.
The thing should be reformed, and let the
Methodist take the lead. Then, instead of
saying like an oracle that "it is useless to
abuse the newspapers, they simply reflect
our public life it viii say that the people
owe the newspapers the gratitude that is
due TO those who dare tell the truth when
the truth strikes at the tenants of power
and who render the public a serious service
by disclosing facts of universal moment
and opening the door of reform.
