SECOND EDITION
From the N. Y. Sun.
Reduce the A7.nsN.

Now that Gen. Sherman and the Mill
tary Ring are demanding q Virtual in
crease in the army of five thousand
men, 1t Is well to look back and to COM
pare the past with the present state of
one form or another about forty millions
a year OF taxes. What do the people
get for this enormous expenditure? A
great deal of fuss and feathers, and lit
lie else.
The General of the Army draws as
pay and emoluments nearly the interest
on half a million Of four per cents. His
magDificiont st Fl with their brilliant
plunage draw relatively as much, upon
the basis of recognized rank. They
travel over the country on so-callbd
tours of inspection, with liberal allow
ances, at the public expense. They at
tend all the official receptions they eat
OF all the swell dinners they dance
the German; their uniforms shine at
shoddy balls; and they dwadle at the
capital In the wii'ter, and at the fash
ionable resorts in the summer. This Is
the life, year In and year out, of the
favored set. Gen. Sherman wants q
regiment of artillery stationed at Wash
ineton, to add to the effect of his grandeur
with band of music of his own,so as not
to be dependent on the marine band,
which now does duty for the military,
naval, and civil branches on festive oc-
casions-always, of course, at the cost
of the taxpaying people.
In 1872, during the war with Great
Britain, the aggregate of officers and
men in the army was 1881. This was
reduced after the treaty of peace to o.
413, and subsequently to 7,I9S.
In the long Florida war the aggregate
of officers aud men was 1859, and the
peace establishment which followed cut
1t down to 8,6l3.
In the Mexican war the strength of
officers and men was 1882, afterward
increased and then reduced on the
peace establishment 10 10,32O.
When the civil war began the whole
force was 1881.
Now we are at peace at home and
abroad. There is no danger of foreign
war, because the policy of the United
States does not conflict with the inter
ests of the so-called great powers. We
are isolated from their strifes for the
balance of power and If there should
be any cause of quarrel, this continent
would be two hot to hold ali invading
force

THE PERFORMANCE SATURDAY EvEs

THE PERFORMANCE SATURDAY EVENING
A fair audience greeted the appear
ance of Milton Mobiles at the Opera
House on Saturday evening. The play
was one written by himself styled the
'Ph9nix' and judging from the applause
during the performance, II was well en-
joyed by those present. 1t embrace
some startling scenes, and 1t rather runs
into the sensational order.
The company that presented 1t, was a
good one each member being well up In

THE STORY oFA RUNAWAY.

A man came TO the stable of Lawrence
Kiera on Front strees on Saturday
night and hired a horse to take him TO
Rising Sun. A man was sent with him
10 briDg the team back. 1t seems that o
ball was given in the evening at plaoe
known as the "Columbia Inn, +" near the
toll gate, and the driver on his return
dropped In there and INDUCED in the
festivities of the hour. When he took his
leave he was much Intoxicated and ut
terly unable to manage the horse. The
animal at length started to run and
drew the wagon down Delaware avenue
at lively rate. AT Tenth ard Tatnall
st 'eets the driver tumbled out an uncons-
cious heap upoa the cobble stones, and
the horse after continuing short dis
tance, was stopped by colored man.
The negro brought the horse and wagon
to the police station, and from here they
vera sent to the Lafayette Hotel stables
to be held for an owner. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Kieran came to the City
Hall and asked that the horse be given
him, when one of the officers demaded
two dollars as his fee for sending the
team to the hotel. Upon the arrival of
Chief Maxwell this was satisfactorily
adjusted, and Mr.. hieran secured, his
horse without submitting to theexaction

A Reminiscence of Monroe.

At visit of President Monroe TO Bos-
ton, after his second election, he was
introduced to Gen. Arnasa Davis, on

said," | am happy, General, to take by
the hand the Oldest officer in commits
sion in the United States" To which the
venerable hero replid, "Sir, am happy
to see still at the head of my country a
soldier who drew his sword to achieve
our independence. You kEow what it
cost, and how to maintain it." Davis
was born In 1744 and died in 1926.
