MORE MEN AND MONEY; But
MORE MONEY IN ANY EVENT.

General Sherman and General Sheridan
and the Secretary of War have made their
reports, and the burden of their song is
more men, more money-men and money
il possible: but more money in any event"
No reasonable American citizen objects
to the maintenance Of an army sufficiently
large to police the country; but who knows
that the present force is not large enough
for that service already! Gather in the
shoulder-strapped, wax-moustached Col
oncls, Captains, Lieutenants and their train
OF attendants from the frst-class hotels Of
Washington, Chicago and elsewhere util-
nc the surplus troops that are becoming
stiff-jointed from inaction, in oui sea
coast forts, inland barracks and arscnals,
and there will no longer be any need Of the
beggarly show in the Indian country or
along the line of Mexico. With an army
of twenty-five thousand men, we are re-
minded Of the inadcquacy of our forces
every time We fight dozen families of In
dans or chase half score of horse thieves
across the Rio Grande into Mexico. If the
forces engaged in that sort OF service are
too small, the fact is not chargcable so
much to the want of large army, as to a
neglect to utilize the men who are subject
to such service.
And the army engineers are prolific in
suggestions as to how more money might
be expended to the great advantage Of our
sea-coast detcnccs. More stone forts are
wanted that the modern artillery that
knocks them into powder will have bigger
job of 1t; and that, in the construction Of
such forts officers who relish the luxury of
light duty, may be detailed to the sinccurc
duty of supervision. The Ordinance officer,
the Surgeon-Gencral, the Quartermaster-
General, the Commssary- all these
suggest places where very considerable
sums Of money can be made to perform an
Indispensable service. But ali these sug-
gcStions are worthy the serious attention Of
congress, although, despite such numerous
and pressing wants. the officers reporting
are unanimous in the declaration that never
before was the army in such good condi-
ton as it is to-day. A continuance Of the
economical practices of the past two years
may prevent encryating excuses and keep
the army in the splendid condition that cX-
tlrts these words of praise from the
Generals in command Of it. II more men
are needed, furnish them; if an increased
appropriation is necessity make it. but
let the men be furnished and the money be
appropriated in obedience to the demand,
of necessity, and not under the impcrious
call Of shoulder.strappod aristocrats.

FRANK BAXTER, spiritual clairvo yant
medium, of Pittsfcld, Mass, was recently
cntrapped into an elaborate description OF
the spirit of person, who. according to the
celestial information whispered to him, had
been dead fifteen years Unfortunately for
Franks reputation 1t was put up job on
him, and the person described was still
alive. Mrs Pickering, of Rochester, New
York, was seized while personating the
mstorisIzed form of young man, and
brought out and exhibited, as the fraud she
was. Mrs Stewart, while pcrsonating the
,pirit Of a young lady who was drowned at
Quincy, Illinois, shocks hands with gen

and afterwards came from the cabinet with

ington, and, very much like the father of
his country, waved ten cent flag over her
head, cruuched candy and oranges, and
iubilanty joined the audience in singing
the "Rad, White and B.uc." The success
of this hrazen and stupid fraud encouraged
the same woman to the commission of what

1t is such people as this that the Licutcn-

tending one OF the Berlin colleges, was con-
scriptcd rs a German subject, torn from his
studies and hurried into the army us com
mon soldier. The Indignation of German
| American citizens was earnest and out
spoken, and the demand was then made
that the case be adopted as the ground work
for determining, once and for all, the
rights of German American citizens while
on the soil and under the laws of the Ger
man empire. 1t was IN outrage upon the
rights of an American citizen that called
for prompt and decisive action upon the
part of our government. But instead Of
demonstrating, as the German minister at
Washington would have demonstrated had
the case been reversed, Mr.. Bancroft Davis,
treated the matter as nothing more than
an individual case of hardship; and to the
surprise of everybody our military prcsi-
dent, General Grant, upheld the trucking
minister in his cowardly submission to what
was nothing less than the naughty dictation
of despotic chancellor.
And now contemplate the result Almost
every mail brings us details of outrages,
insults and mpudent inquisitorial searches
of which Gcrman-American citizens are the
victims. That class of citizens are made
to sec that the subjects of other powers
possess privileges and immunities which
they do not possess, and which, if claimed,
would not be recognized. The Russian,
the Icelander or the Esqu.mauX may live
in Germany the term OF his natural life, and
nothing more cXacted from him than obe-
diencc to the laws. Not so, however with
the German.American He may be forcibly
elected at the end of two years, while his
son, born on American soil and in Ger
many simply as student, may be snatched
from his books and forced into the ranksof
the German army. To such humliating
condition have Grant and Hayes and their
respective advisers, brought the Great
Republic
twenty-five years ago, when a less aggra-
waiting case was presented in the person IF
Martin Kosta, the prompt and decisive ac-
ton taken by Secretary Marcy, won the ap-
plause and admiration of every German cit
izen of the United States. But the contrast
presented by the Steinkauler case, and the
still later case Of Adam Kaber, of Wiscon-
sin, is so marked and palpab!c, tina: the in
tclligent German citizen can but feel u CON
tempt for the cowardice and pusihnimiH
of government that will not, or dare not,
put out its arm to protect him in rights
that are accorded to the meancst subject OF
the weakest potentate Of the eastern hemi-
sphere.
1t lie believed, and it may be true, that
the ott-recurring outrages and iDdignities
suffered by German Americans in Germany,
are not brought to the cd Empcrrs attcn-

on the side Of justice, mercy and fair deal
