A STANDING swINoLE.

A country at peace with al! the
world with an ocean between it end
any formidable power, ought not to
be compelled to pay forty to fifty
millions a year for the support of a
standing army. II is an enormous
burden, and there should be states
mansbip enough TO find means of
tightening the load. Secretary Me-
Crary's estimates for the next fiscal
year are something over forty mil
lions, and this is less than for many
years past. But this is large per
centage of all our revenues, aud the
result of it all is twenty FIVE thou
sand enlisted men Almost any
able bodied citizen of the United
States can be put into the field on
shortest notice, in case of insurrec
ton or invasion. In every great
emergency the volunteers have been
the country's reliance. This must
be so in all time to come. Why,
then, are we paying this vast amount
to keep up skeleton army 7 IL is
said that we need this force TO keep
a few wild tribes of Indians in subs
lection. The number of Indians
who are likely to require attention
from the military does not exceed
5000, including old men, women
and children.
We know these figure smaller than
those given by Indian agents, but
they are very close to the facts. If
is TIC coat US 40, 900, 900 year for
military force to keep these Savages
down, 10 addition to the many other
millions expended ON them by the
Indian Bureau, we must devise some
better system. There is no example
of such extravaganza in any country
on the globe. 1t will be the duty of
Congress to scan Mr.. McCrary's es
Inmates closely. More than sixteen
hundred dollars to each enlisted
man, when their pay is less than two
hundred dollars each, is a showing
that may we'll alarm the country.

HOW HE CONVINCED THEM.

Elk Gov. S. w. Throck modon Ger.
tainly understands ell the arts of an
old Texan. In his speech defending
Ed. Bomar, at Gainesville, after hav>
ing spoken about an hour said
"Gentlemen of the jury, it is said
by the prosecution that because the
deceased was in his shirt sleeves
when killed he had no pistol"
Here Mr.. Thorckmorten pulled off
his coat and stood before the jury 10
his shirtsleeves.
"You may say" continued Mr..
Thorckmorton, "that | am not armed
because am in my shirt sleeves.
Look do you see any arms y cried
he, holding up his hands.
No signs of arms could be seen.
Mr.. Thorck morton then drew a
pistol from under his left arm, an
other from under bis right, one from
each boot, and huge bowie knife
from the back of his neck, placing
them on the table.
"You see, gentlemen, though in
my shirt sleeves, ] could be well
armed"
This was a clincher and il carried
the point, entirely destroying the ar
gupent of the prosecution. Dallas
