The Regular Army.

One of many lessons taught by the strike
Is the necessity of raising and supporting a
regular army sufficiently powerful to answer
all the purposes of a national police, to guard
our long southwestern frontier, and to keep
in subsection the savage tribes which menace
the peace and safety of the settlers in our ter
ritories. For any one of these purposes the
regular army as at present constituted is
probably sufficient; for them all il is evidently
inadequate. During the last few weeks
while portion of the army found itself too
feeble to put an end to the depredations of
Mexican free-booters, and another portion
found itself unequal to the task of subduing
small revolt among the Indians of the
West, the national authorities were called
upon for aid in putting down formidable in
surrection in the very heart of the country.
Nearly all the fortresses in the land were
stripped of their garrisons in response to this
call; but tie force thus collected was alto
gether too small for it's object, though 1t did
wonderfully good service considering its
limitations.
We ought not to be found so unprepared
again, and among the first measures to be
taken by Congress on its assembling should
be the increase of the regular army to fifty
thousand men. That force is none too large
for the purposes of national police. An in
adequate force is worse than no force at all,
for it accomplishes no good and is source of
considerable expense. The idea that we can
get along with no standing army is a pleas
ant one, but unfortunately experience has
proved it to be impracticable. The thousand
years of peace are evidently not close at hand,
and for some time to come force must be the
court of final appeal. So long as our cities
have to maintain their police and our states
their militia the national government cannot
be expected to enforce its authority without
similar means. Indeed in the last two weeks
it has not only been obliged to maintain the
peace toward itself, but it has been called
apon to aid state and municipal authorities.
When brought to the test militia and police
have in many of the states failed to subdue
the lawless element, and only by the efforts
of the regulars has order been restored. In
view of these facts the duty of Congress is
plain. The question of increased expense
should be no obstacle. Had the regular army
been twice as large enough property might
have been saved in the insurrectionary dis
trict to pay for years ervice.

If the recent disturbance was revolution,
it seems that revolutions do not flourish in

The Portland daily press., 1877-08-04

In spite of all the grumblings about the
New York police, they have proved them
selves quite efficient in the late crisis through
which the city passed, when an outbreak of
mob violence was daily expected, The chief
objection formerly urged to the policemen
was their brutality, but this, in the emer-
gency, was an advantage rather than other
wise, since they were dealing with class of
people to whom knock down Is the only ar
gument held at all in respect. The fact that
New York escaped mob violence when so
man other cities were infected must be at
trbuted solely to the vigorous clubbing done
by the officers when the first symptoms of a
riot appeared. Had the autho rites waited
until militia could be called for, enlisted and
sworn in; until arms could be brought from
the state capital and distributed; until the
men had been drilled in marching and exer-
cised in the manual of arms, half of New
p ork City would have been in ashes.

The Jabloshkof electric candles continue
to be described by the London papers. At a
trial made in large tent covering one of the
squares of the West Indian docks, four com :
mon lamp posts were erected in the respec-
tive corners, and on one Of these lamp-posts
was placed an electric light, the electricity for
which was generated by steam power In a
magneto-electric machine of thirty-two mag
nets, each magnet composed of six plates.
The steam engine, of two and half horse
power, effected 4S0 revolutions of the mag
neto-electric machine a minute. The re-
sulting light was so strong that the finest
print could be read at distance of thirty
feet from the lamp. The electric light was
then extinguished, and when sixteen gas
burners, four in each corner were substituted,
the effect was dismal beyond conception. 1t
is found that loading and unloading ships can
be carried on by the use OF the electric can
dies by night as well as by day.
