Army Favorit1sm.

the favoritism in the army is getting SO
fragrant as to call forth much unfavorable
comment and not without foundation, The
Milwaukee Sentinel comments on the
matter in the following severe manner. it
says:
From the report of the Secretary of
War, it is no wonder that there has been
considerable agitation upon the subject of
line and staff officers. 1t appears that the
officers detached on staff service have q
| rather snug thing in the way of extra pay.
| besides avoiding the hardships of frontier
life. Major Orville Il. Babcock has re~
ceived over and above the pay due his
| rank. Sll 500. f. ID. Grant. FIRST lieuten-
| ant Fourth Cavalry, aid de camp to Gen.
| She.iGan, extra pay, etc, S16,53l. j. T..
Audenreid, on the staff of Gen. Sherman,
$3,4l3. j. Il. Tourtelotte. Gen Sherman
staff. $25, 63S. NJ V. Sheridan, Gen. Sher-
idan's staff, $2l, 209, j. NJ. Bacon, on Gen.
Sherman's staff, $24 992. This is only a
part of the list. There appears to be
| something very like injustice in this dis
elimination in giving more pay to the
officers who lead Germans" than to those
who lead charges against the redskins,
where the old time French politeness of
requesting the enemy TO fire first is OBJ
served, By order of the Indian Bureau.
| 1t will not be subject of intense grief if
some reorganization is secured in the army.
and the apparent Determinations and
| favoritism done away with"
The Sentinel is on the right track and
the pressi generally should 3condemn the
practice which at s,present obtains Of
showering favors on those officers who are
at a safe distance from the frontier. and
ignoring thes real issoldiers who do the
fighting. The northern cities,sn notably
Washington and New York are filled with
gaiIy uniformed eoficers who frequent SC
ciety circles, are psttsdsaad fesed, and on
the pretense of doing some special duty
are paid handsome sbonus besides their
regular pay, while the officers who face
the enemy, endure theEhardships of cam
paigu life and are worthy OF extra emolu
ments, arei denied any extras aud compelled
to take the every day HE of soldier in
the field. This favovitism should cease,
| and at once, too The people are taxed
sufficiently to maintain the regular officers
without being asked to contribute to their
| support in idleness.

The Democratic Prospects,

Meyer in the history of the Democratic
party has the opportunity presented 70!
success. been better than at the present
time. While the Republicans are hope
lessly quarrelling, the Democrats are Sc.
renely confident, are in good fighting trim
and inspired with desire to do nothing
unwise, on the eve of victory. If the
Democratic party is careful and makes no
mistake, the next president will be a
Democrat There ia an abundance of
good material, men who are known to the
people and who would make acceptable
candidates, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that the Cincinnati convention will select
the best man In the party, and not allow
personal ambition to guide them in the
choice. What the Democrats need is
compact organization. This is being eff
fected rapidly, and before the campaign is
fairly opened. there will be Democratic
club in every voting precinct in the coun-
try. The effect of .sueh organization can
not be lightly estimated. With good or
ganizatioa the vote Is always brought out
and greater degree of harmony and con.
6dence prevails. IF the Cincinnati con
vention makes no mistake, and the Demo
Gratis are organized, success is as certain
as anything can be. Let us not be over
confident because of the dissensions in the
ranks of our Republican opponents, bu;
work together harmoniously and unitedlJ
for SUCCESS.

this is the determination of the Grant

Emory Storrs points out that under the

uncertainty was visible on Sunday when

The Blaineites claim to have made some

that Grant cannot be nominated, but the
Chicago. Tfnaess the best possible authority
seems to think that the Grant mon have
lost no ground and that the ex- President

great activity was manifest at all the head

planning and hard work On doubtful dele.
gates. The Times writing up the incidents
OF the day says
The Grant forces are ceriainIy admirably
organized and thoroughly disciplined.
They move with the ease and precision OF
thoroughly drilled army and evidently
act according 20 a carefully prearraDgeG
plan, and towards the mplishment of
a specific purpose. The organization is, rs
might be expected. thoroughly military.
The controlling minds are the major gen
erals, and they have their colonies, their
captains and lieutenants, their aids de
camp and recruiting officers, their Skin
mlshers, pickets, and even their orderiies
and drill sergeants, and all the parapher
malta of the camp and field. Every man
it without question. or without waiting to
ask why, or what anybody else is doing.
AS consequence everything moves evenly
and easily, as the nicely fitting parts of
one great machine. There is no confusion
no delay. What is done is considered
finished and no further attention TO it is
deemed necessary. A point once taken is
Rarrisoned, and the grand army moves
forward to the next, the whole gradually
centering toward that last ditch" where
the fna! victory will be won, or the day
irretrievably lost. Toward the scene of
that grand conflict the Grant forces are
marching.
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER,
and anyone who watches their firm and
steady tread can see that they intend to
carry the final redoubt with ons grand,
resistless charge or go down together
as the Old Guard went down at Waterloo.
just whose is the master mind which
guides and directs, and prescribes the
methods by which everything is done, it is
rather difficult to find out. Cameron,
Conkiing, and Logan are generally looked
upon as great triumvirate, whose word
Is law, and whose very mods are obeyed
with alarcity, but il is evident THAT they
nave apportioned the work on hand, and that
