tie hrs: anniversary Of the dAy tn
which they stole the State OF Louis
lana from the Democratic party and
from the people Of the country. On
the second anniversary, if there is
any justice left on earth, they will
be in the penitentiary. They Ger.
tainly deserve it. Their crime, as
crime always does in time, has
worked injury to themselves and to
all they sought to serve. No, not
to all; for Mr.. Hayes retains the
Presidency and Sherman the Treas
ury. But the Chambers, Blaines,
Packards and the hundreds of 9TH
ers, who thought to serve them
selves by aiding and encouraging
such men as Wells in villainy, are
feeling not only public contempt but
official neglect. Meanwhile, it be-
hooves US to find out through the
Courts of the country whether or
not the title OF Mr.. Hayes. if shown
to be builded on a penitentiary Of
tense, is sound.
The military committee will, it is
said, propose q measure cutting
down the pay of of officers of the
Army and increasing the pay of nom
commissioned officers. The princi-
pal reduction is in the pay of the
higher officers, the General of the
Army dropping from about $4,000,
to $40, 900, and the Lieut.. Cen
eral in about the same proportion.
There will be little objection to this.
Raising the pay of the non-commi-
stoned officers is also, for various
reasons, a good idea. In the armies
of other countries the enlisted man
has chance to become an officer.
In ours he has no such chance. Ma
poleon might enlist in our reg
ular Army and he could never get
above the rank of Sergeant Major,
unless indeed, there should be a
great war, and even in such case,
this promotion would be in the vol
unteer force. Thus cut off from
hope of formation, the ranks OF the
army naturally receive recruits from
the worst classes of our population,
and to induce decent material to en-
list this increasing pay is found
necessary.
