pnIpAY EVENING, NOV. q. 1888.
Our Army.

Ganeral sherman, in his final report,
as general of the army, says that he con.
siders 'the Indians as substantially
eliminated from the problem of the
army BY which we understand him to
mean that the Indian will no longer
occupy the attention OF the army. lie
saws that while there may yet be Ucca
slonal alarms, such Indians wars as have
hitherto disturbed the country are not
probable. lie considers that General
Crooks management will keep the
troublesome Apaches in order; and that
the covering of the plains and hills with
farmers and miners and the crossing OF
the transcontinental railways have made
the white man the unchallenged master Ct
the country for all future time. lie
recommends that the army shall he
gathered in camp at u small number OF
posts on the lines of railways, and that
the many small posts now existing snail
be abandoned.
This recommendation is undoubtedly
wise. As the army is maintained not tor
present needs, but for future contingen
cies, it can be more efficiently and econ
omicaly managed wlen mlsSed to-
gether. There is no sense in having I. e
commanding officers Os regiment sep
arated from their commands 10y
reason OF the scattering of the
companies in different places. The reg
iments at least should be kept together.
Under the present system of putting 4
small garrison in many places difficult Of
access the cost of supply is greatly in
creased a large number of paymasters
are required, who are obliged to carry
currency with them to the different posts
at great cost and risk. With " small
number of posts the administration is
greatly simplified IN it's work aud lessened
in its charge while the forces are in
better position to be kept in proper
state of efficiency and discipline. They
will be more open TO public observation,
too. We can see what they are doing ;
and after awhile when we observe how
assiduOusly they are doing nothing, We
may conclude that the whistle is not
paying for its cost, and We may remand
the soldiers to the industrial occupations
of private life, under such provisions as
will enable them to be gathered together
speedily when needed as an army.

Look to Your rres Labels

rmlntown Telegraph,
This is the time of the year, Or rather
when winter is near at hand also Just
before you begin operations in your garden
III the spring, TO over haul your tree labels,
and renew them when they are missing or
require fixing up. The best label We
hav yet tried and have used for thirty
years. is made OF zinc. We take a sheet Of
this, cut 1t in strips half an inch wido aud
two aud half inches in length bore "A
hole in one end, and write the name of the
tree with goose quill, which is the best for
that purpose. But common ink will not do,
as it would soon wash oil. You must make
an ink for yourself which is easily
done, as follows Go to drug
gist's and get six grains Of sui
phate OF copper, which mix with
one ounce of wator, dissolve and add three
grains Of salammoniac and twenty drops
of sulphuric acid, aud you have an ink
that, II we'll put on, will remain logible
| for twenty years. But We forgot tO say
that You must use copper wire Of
suitable thickness say No, II, lS or 10 with
which TO iasteu the labels upon the trees
| but plenty of room must be allowed for
the trees TO grow, or the wire will cut
through the bark, and sometimes will
destroy the branch or every tree TO which
it may be applied. Bs sure not to make
Il mistake in purchasing tho chemicals.
The next best label is, in our opinion,
the old one used by nursery men as long as
we can remember--the pine strip painted
white, written on with u load pencil and
fastened with copper wires.

URe Thing at a Time.

While the tide Of Democratic success
is rising on every side, and all the indi
cations point 10 a grand reform wave on
which the party of the people will ride
into political power, it is not surprising
that much speculation should be INDUCED
in relative to the Democratic candidate
in the presidential campaign of next
year. The New York San has for some
time back been ringing the changes on
Holman as the man OF the hour Nc
Donald, Bayard, Thurman and a host of
lesser lights have been named as worthy
fthe party's honor in this connection,
and the talk Of renOmjnatlUg the old
ticket seems to have met with some
favor in certain circles. |. is proper
enough that the impOrrau. matter Of
naming the next president Of the United
States should thus engro3s public atteu-
tion, as it indicates a healthy condition
Of the body polite when the people, the
real source of all the governing
power, thus carefully sean the
merits of the candidates on whom they
may be called to sit in Judgment.
That this deep intertS in the matter
of presdent-makiug really exists is
evident from the large space given the
subject in the public press of the day,
the newspaper being the mirror
in which the signs of the times
are read. But the advice Of Angus
tus Caesar TO his friends, > tcStilu lentl, ="
may not be inapplcaUle in the present
situation of affairs. The convention
that will name the next president will
not meet for at least seven months,
which ought to leave ample time for the
consideration Of the merits Of the various
candidates desirous of acting az the
standard bearer Of the party. In the
meantime it would seem the part of
wisdom for the Democracy to address
itself sternly to the questions now up
permost in the public mind, on the
answers to which may depend its ulti
mate success next year. The 4o.h
Congress, which meets ia December,
with its large Democratic preponder-
ance in the lower House, will be eX.
pected to deal wisely with the financial
question, which has now become an en-
crossing topic by reason Of the cOntrac.
tion of the currency caused by the
surrender of the bonds by the banks
consequent on the rapid reduction of the
public debt. The silver question, the
surplus, civil service reform, the tariff
and the counting of the electoral vote
are few Of the more important matters
upon which the next Congress will be
required to pass, and it becomes the
duty of the lower House to see to it that
Democratic supremacy is not imperilled
by any hasty or i'll advised action on
these very urgent pieces of legislation,
In view of facts of this kind may it no,
he justas well to postpone president
ing until these pressing problems are
solved? The independent voter Is quietly
watching both parties, aud unless the
Democrats clearly prove to his satlsfac
tion that they are abundantly capable of
taking the reins of government, specula.
tion over the next occupant of the presi.
Dental chair, SO far as Democrats are
concerned, will be worse than useless
One thing at time.
