TIE BLuNpERING BANNING NIL.

The discussions in the House of Repre-
sentatives upon the subject of army rcor-
ganization seemed to give rise to the idea
that every officer placed upon the retired
list diminished the cost of maintaining the
army by % per cent. of the pay be received
before retirement. But this is q fallacy
easily dispelled.
1t is true the retirement of officers whose
places upon the active list are abolished, Gre
ates the saving above specified; but tits equal
ly true that whenever the vacancies made by
retired officers upon the active list are to
be filed by other officers, the retirement
augments the cost of the establishment by
Just the amount the officer receives, or 10
per cent. of the pay his successor upon the
active list would receive.
In illustration of this, should all officers
who have served forty years, or who are
sixty-two years old, be forced upon the re-
tired list las few young officers who eX-
pect promotion are laboring most assid-
uously to bring about il would throw out
of active service one maior-generl, eight
brigadier-generals, eighteen colonels, four
observation-disclosures, and four majors, the
aggregate of whose retired pay would be
Sl2l,s75.
OF these the Offices of two brigidier-
generals, eight colonels, two lieutenant
colonels, and three majors, under the provi-
sions of the House bill No 6l45, are abol-
shed, and 25 per cent. of their active SER
vice pay, or $l6,2il, is saved to the United
| States,
Deducting this saving from the increase,
$12s75, us before specified, leaves S1O5,13i
as the actual annual net increase in the cost
of our army that would result from com.
pulsory retirement at this time,
1t is proper TO state in this connection
that the aforementioned project would re-
tire every colonel of artillery and many
other officers who are to-day better able tC
perform active duties than they ever were
as must be admitted by all who know them
Should officers be permitted to retire
upon their own application after thirty
years service, as is provided for in some Q
the bills before the Senate, this would EN-
brace majority of the most experienced

DISTRICT DELEGATE IN CONGRESS.

The Star last evening published in brief
the hastily gathered opinions Of some 300
citizens ont of some $4,000 qualified voters
of the District, n majority OF whom, it
claims, is opposed to the exercise of the
elective franchise. Our cotempornry as
sumes the conclusion, from this partial
exhibit, that the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia are opposed to the
election of a Delegate to represent their
interests in the Congress Of the United
States, which body exercises exclusive leg
isation in all cases whatever over the af-
fairs of this community of nearly 100000
American citizens We take issue with our
cotemporary upon its assumption. We
fearlessly assert that fully nine-tenths of
our people are in favor of being represented
in Congress by Delegate selected from
among our citizens, for, among Others, the
following reasons:
First-A Delegate will represent the will
of the people, and will be recognized by
Congress rs the official exponent of the
views of the people he represents
| Second-It is conceded by all that the
representations made by the numerous and
conflicting delegations of selG-appointed
citizens tend but TO confuse Congress and its
committees as to what the people of the
District really do want. The continuous
squabbles of delegations before the Com
mittee of the House on the District of Co.
lumbia this winter shows the necessity of
having some one elected to represent au-
thoritatively the varied interests of this
community.
Third-A Delegate will form part of Con-
gress which exercises exclusive legislation,
and thus constitutionally will our people he
represented in accordance with the sacred
principle which underlies our form of gov
ernment, and the anomalous, anti-demo.
cratic, and tyrnnnical unconstitutional con-
dition of taxation without representa- tion
will be wiped out, as at present existing, at
the very portals of the Capitol of our Re-
public.
There is opposition in every community
to all progressive movements. Undoubtedly
a large number of very good people in Bos-
ton once upon a time were Mortified al
throwing the tea overheard in Boston har.
Dor, but it resulted in establishing the right
in this country of every American citizer
being entitled to be represented in the body
which enacts the laws for their government
