GEN. SHERMAN. the head of the army,
has been travelling with Mr.. Hayes
through the West, making speeches
wherever he had a chance. and supervis-
ing in a general way the interests of his
brother John. who has his heart set
upon the next Republican nomination
for the Presidency. The General was
with the HAYES show at indianapolis
when the news was received there of the
killing Of Captain Thornburg and sew
eral of his men by the Indians in Colo
rado. and delivered a speech in which
he made his usual demand for an increase
of the army lie didn't say how large
he wanted the army TO be, but we sup
pose that a man of his expanded notions
about military affairs would not be
satisfied with less than 100000 men.
As General Of the army he is paid about
SIS, 600 a year; and the country would
have a much better opinion of him if he
would spend more of his time at Wash
ingtOu in the discharge of the duties of
his Office, instead of travelling with Mr.
HAYES to State Fairs in the West and
boosting his brothers prospects in the
next Republican national convention.
The trouble with the Ute Indians in
Colorado has been brewing for some time
and was of course known to Hayes,
Sherman. McCrary, the Secretary of
War. and Schurz. Secretary of the In
terror. and vet not one Of them was at
the national capital just at the time
they ought all to have been there, but
were junketing over the West in the in
terest of the Republican party. Gen.
Sherman s appeal to the people to compel
their representatives in Congress to in
crease the army will not be needed. The
army is large enough, if it was properly
distributed. The New York San. in
answer to Sherman's cry for a larger
army. correctly SAYS There lie III
luxurious idleneSs, in the many useless
forts and Union posts on the Atlantic
coasts. the lakes, and the interior of the
country all the way over to the Missouri
river. thousands of officers and soldiers
who are no more needed where they are
than at Saratoga Springs"
