OUR TROPHIES,

Since the Government fails to provide
the West Point Academy with a suitable
museum, many priceless trophies and mem.
orials are left in the open, exposed to the
weather. Mortars, guns and carronades
captured in the Mexican war, pieces of
iron chain that crossed the Hudson during
the Revolution, old trucks and gun CARR.
ages, half eaten away by rust during the
century since tnelr use, are being destroyed
with greater or less expedition for want of
proper covering. Some small guns captured
from the British and the Mexcans are safe,
because they form part of the wall decora-
tions of the church. While it takes many
years for rust to entirely obliterate the
Inscriptions and original ornaments of the
highly decorated guns OF the las6 century,
the effect is to surely eat away the
sharp edges of the ornaments and gradually
destroy the artistic value of the trophies
Some OF them are real works of art from
the tineness of their shapes, the beauty
OF their color, the excellence cf the gun
metal, and the quaintness of their decora-
tions. Ii the Government is too short
sighted to provide these valuable and
interesting relics with shelter, perhaps a
public.spirlted citizen of New York State
may be found who will establish military
museum at West Point. An argument
which may finally touch the souls of
Congressman is the undnubEed money
value Of these trophies. Were they offered
in the right quarters as relics to historical so.
cieties or persons who have the collecting
mania, they would bring enormous prices.
Few men are so obtuse, especially if they
are " practical" men, as to DENY the force
OF the argument that money is well spent
in order to preserve articles of great value
which will become more and more valuable
as time rolls on. Owing to the ungenerous
treatment by Congress OF the army, the ma
ton is likely to find when it is too late that
some of the finest trophies of the Revolu-
ton and of other wars have lost their
greatest value through neglect.
