visions; and this 10 the simple reason why
general officers, while In the United States
service, were to be assigned them under the
bill, as heretofore, by the President.
But in reality the sections OF the bill on
which its defeat turned were not necessary to
it at all. There was no need OF going into the
question of calling the militia into the United
States service The essential facts are that
Congress, by the Constitution, is empowered
Ito provide for organizing, arming, and dis
cplining the militia" that 1t began to do SO
with an annual appropriation OF 100000
more than seventy years ago; that
the population OF the country Is now
six times as great as 1t was in 1910,
and its area and it, wealth have also grown
enormously, while this militia appropriation
has never been increased The original
militia system soon dwindled and persisted,
and in its place have come State volunteer
organizations, some OF them OF rather a go
as-you-plcase character. with no uniformity
in clothing, equipments, drill, discipline, or
ganiZation or regulations. Some States have
almost no uniformed militia; some have only
one or two regiments.
The first necessity would seem to be that
Congress should increase its annual appro-
priation so that 1t may tally with the growth
OF the country since 1910. Then let 1t simply
make provisions for securing fair distribu-
ton and the most efficient use Of the money,
carefully avoiding all interference with the
rights of the States, and respecting also
vested rights of volunteer organizations, but
aiming to make sure that each State shall
have a good body Of trained marksmen,
well armed, equipped. uniformed, and ready
with equipage to take the field.

Total


The total cost Of every ship now In the
navy, whether afloat or rotting on the Stocks
ought to be made as clearly apparent to Con-
gress and to the country as we have made
the total cost Of the Tennessee. Messrs.
HEWITT, WH1TTHoRNE, and RANDALL should
see that this Is done.
We caution the gentlemen in Congress who
may be inclined to pursue this subject against
the practical dishonesty Of the figures fur
nished from the Bureau Of Construction
and Repair. They are deceptive, inasmuch
as there is no statement ofs the cost Of "re-
pairs " on the ships illegally reconstructed
by robson and his confederates. Thus the
corrupt expenditures Of robson in many
notorious jobs do not appear in detail, but are
concealed in the totals. To this extent the
report from the Bureau Of Construction and
Repair is fraudulent.

A Blind and Deceptive Report.

The figures furnished by the Navy Depart
ment in response to Mr.. HEwITT's resolu-
ton need considerable arithmetic before
they afford the information which the House
wants. Coming in separate installments
from the several bureaus, and with no uni
form system OF presentation, the mixed and
mudded mass is we'll calculated to drive any
Congressman to distraction. Who doubts
that IL the department had desired to meet
the resolution Of inquiry in a spirit of frank
ness, it would have exhibited the cost Of
the ships in totals Ineligible at glance?
Nevertheless, as THE Sun has shown,
when the totals are reached by process Of
selection, assortment, and addition, they are
astounding.
Our old friend, the Tennessee, shows up
finely. Chief Engineer SHOCK knows good
deal about this chip. We tried hard few
years ago to impress the Hon. RICHARD W.
THOMPSON with the fact that there was
something peculiar about the Tennessee, and
we repeated the experiment with Judge
HUNT; but neither THOMPSON nor HUNT was
disposed to learn. The Tennessee Is the only
first rate classed by RoBEsoN's committee as
tit for ocean service; the department esti-
mates that it will cost only $246, 124 to put
her in order. She Is slow tub, and would
be little more effective in naval warfare
than the North River ferryboat Jay Gould
Here is what the wooden Tennessee has
cost the country since 1865:

lug that they have a right to land.-
The bill further provides that hereafter

admit a Chinaman to citizenship, and
that "Chinese laborers" shall be con-
strued to mean both skilled and I'M

From our regular correspondent
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, MAY l3, 1882,

washington, May IL, 1857.
The Tariff Commission bill is at
last out of Congress, having furnished
the largest amount of chin-music of
any measure before that body for
years. Some of the speeches not de-
livered, but whose authors obtained
''leave to print are still coming out
in the Record. l do not entertain any
great degree of admiration for those
Democrats who supported the bill and
forced the party in Congress to throw
away the advantage it might have de-
rived from a squared stand ON the
question. The pressure has already
begun on the President in behalf of
persons anxious to serve on the COM
mission; and the applicants do not
consider that they know nothing about
the subject of the tariff, but are COM
pletely absorbed with the idea of $40
per diem and expenses. The President
will, it is hoped, put some experts on
the commission, but it will require all
his nerve and determination to with
stand the appeals of the politicians
1t is generally accepted here as con-
elusive that the commission will man
age to perpetuate its existence for
several years to come, and if it makes
any report at all ct the beginning of
the next session of Congress, it will be
merely one of a preliminary character.
Indeed, the longer the protectionists
can keep the commission IN existence
the better they will be pleased. 1t
can be set down as dead certainty
that nothing will be done with the
tariff during the life of this Congress,
and if the Democrats of the next Con-
gress surrender to the straight-out pro-
tectionists as they have now, any hope
the tariff reformers may have of a re-
vision of the present tariff lprior to the
Presidential election of 1884 will prove
groundless. PHoSo.
