Military Education.

The adjutant general of the army, in his
annual report, has deemed II eXpedent to
call attention to the fact that the law
authorizing the detail of army officers to
act as professors Of tactics and military
science in military colleges requires that
the institutions to which such details are
made shall have a capacity to educate at
the same time not less than a hundred and
fifty male students. 1t is the opinion of the
adjutant general that the law contemplated
that the selected universities should have
not only the capacity for educating a GER
tain number of youths, but that at least the
minimum number be actually under instruc-
ton. He then proceeds to show that of the
thirty-seven institutions to which army OF
ficers are now detailed, only twelve have an
attendance of a hundred and fifty or over,
while at fourteen 1t is less than one
hundred, and at five others less than sixty
In some cases he believes the details were
secured to obtain the services Of an officer
proficient In mathematics as professor In
that branch.
1t will not be good policy for Congress to
carry out the manifest purpose of the adj
jutant general by recalling all the detailed
instructors from schools having less than
$50 male students in actual attendance.
The officers on duty at these institutions
are doing work of great practical utility
that is neither local nor sectional in its in
tent. They are aiding in the military edu-
cation of the young men of the republic,
and, in so doing, are increasing our national
military strength.
In case Of war-and we are always liable
to such contingency-it would be of in
calculable advantage to have thousands of
young and middle-aged men all over the
country who could organize, drill, and dis
cipline raw troops.
The government has unlimited facilities
for the military education of young men.
If the West Point academy is not suf-
ficien,ly capacious let an annex be built.
But, unless the officers now on the details
referred to by the adiutant general are
absolutely needed for army duties, they
should not be ordered from the work they
now have In hand.

Where Is That Surplus?

The REPUBLICAN does not desire to be
obtrusiye, but 1t must insist on again ro-
minding Mr. Hendricks that the great
American public is longing to hear few
incisye words from his eloquent tongue on
the interesting and important question of
surplus revenues.
II Mr.. Hendricks told the truth In his
campaign of 1854, public funds have been
mysterlously gotten away with to the extent
of several hundred millions.
We do not charge that there has been any
such disappearance, but it it impossible
tovindicate the treasury without convlcting
Mr.. Hendricks Of having perpetrated the
most gigantic inyeracities that were ever
constructed by an American statesman.
1t would seem to be time for Mr.. Hen
bricks to give an opinion as to what dispo
sition has been made OF those vast sum
which "a corrupt Republican administra-
tom was charged by him with boarding in
the treasury In violation of every principle
of economy.

the hundreds of millions-Si45,O OO, 900 was

The Natives of the Caroline Islands.

The people Of the Caroline islands, says a
writer In the New York Telegraph, belong
to the same well-formed, brown, compare
lively intelligent Pacific race as the Hawaii
ians and New Zealanders, and, like them,
alas have suffered much In numbers, in
physique, and In morals by contact with a
certain class of whites. The Caroline ma
tives arc great traders, both among them
selves and with Europeans. At present
the principal articles bartered with Eu-
ropeans for iron goods, tobacco, spirits,
bottles, &C., are trepang and cocoanut oil.
Europeans are settled In several Of the is
lands, mainly Ponape and zap, and do con-
siderable business with whalers. zap is
the most important Of the Caroline islands.
IL contains about sixty native villages and
about 10000 inhabitants. Both Eng
lish and German houses have trading
establishments there, the Germans predomi-
mating. They do n large business In rum.
selling, and have already done their duty in
decreasing the population Of the island and
the neighboring ones. zap possesses a
good harbor for sailing vessels on the south
side, and several harbors available to steam
ers-one on the north side, with very mar
row entrance. The island is described as
very pretty. Its highest peak reaches / 200
feet above the sea. The natives are of pow
erful build. Their skin Is of brownish
hue. Their disposition is said to be peace
full. They are Independent In spirit They
want nothing from foreigners except small
cannon, n few knives, and a certain kind OF
stone which is brought from the Pelew is
lands. These stones, which resemble mill
stones in general appearance, take the place

European Steamship Subsidies.


A merchant marine, said Gen. 1remaine
the other night, in his exceedingly able adj
dress before the Church Congress, is not
sentiment but security. So, at least, our
European brethren regard it. Austria has
subsidized steamboat companies for period
of ten years, at the rate of $l,000,0JO per
annum Hungary for the same period, at
about 100000. England pays, according to
the importance Of the postal service, some
thing over So, 900, 900 perannum. The average
duration Of concessions of France are from
fifteen to twenty-four years, the annual sum
about s6,50O,OO0. Spain's concessions last
from six to eight years, and the amount
paid is 81 100000 annually. Belgium gives
guarantee Of average return, which costs
about 100000 year, and which will not
expire for thirteen years. Holland expends
for this purpose 1855, 900, and will continue
to do so for ten or fifteen years to come.
The merchant marine Of Italy costs the
government about $2,000,000 annually,
while Germany has recently taken up the
matter vigorously, and will not be left be-
hind in the race. 1t is not likely that SEN

=. A few years ago there appeared on the
New York stage very young and very
pretty girl, who came from the west pos
sessed of very promising talent for acting
and n decidedly uDbecoming wardrobe.
"There is the making of great actress
here" said her metropolitan public after
looking at and listening to the rather fright
ened young person; "and II she will study
fashion plates as well as Shakespeare we
shall see her talent and her beauty devel-
oped to advantage"
The young actress took the lesson to
heart, and the development of her histrionic
and physical gifts went hand in hand to the
gratifying end predicted for them, until to-
day she holds well deserved aud honor
able position in the ranks of her profession.
II is seldom that story Of the stage comes
to so pleasant a conclusion, aud ambitious
and pretty girls need not iniudiciously rush
to the footlights expecting triumph which
Miss Mary Anderson has taught them is
possible to some. Hers has been a success
due not alone to exceptional talent and a
fine presence, but one that has come to her
rs the result of patient, indefatlgable, intel
ligent development of natural gifts.
The public perceived long since that Miss
Anderson was winning her way by legiti-
mate methods and faithful work, and they
rcioiced with her over her first successes.
They perceive now, on her return from
alb Dad, that praise did not dull the edge OF
ambition, as It is evident that she has been q
diligent student during her absence. They
have extended TO her during her present en-
gagement In New York, therefore, q "wel.
come home" intended not alone us a recog-
milton Of the actress, but as q stamp of their
approval of the fact that she had been a
faithful student Of her art since she attained
the point which she first aimed to reach.

and all their newspapers bitterly opposed
Blaine and earnestly supported Davenport;
aud the candidate whom they fought COM
mandcd 1900 more votes than the caLdl-
date whom they sustained. The result does
not prove that the Mugwumps had no
strength, but It does prove that Mr.. Blaine
brought more votes 10 the party than he re-
pelled, Every Republican element which
opposed Blaine favored Davenport, and yet

The President and the civil Service.


In the course Of statement Of his views
in relation to the operations Of the civil
service law, the President says:
My plan of giving 1t the greatest possiblousc.
funcss involves the removal of stumbling.
blocks from the way Of good, honest men who
are inclined to its support and demonstrates In
every public manner its value as adapted to
the everyday affairs of the government.
Although this is extremely indefinite It
may be accepted as indicative Of purpose
to adhere to the intent Of the lava non
partisan civil service.
1t would have been far more satisfactory
to the friends of this reform If the President
had named the stumbling blocks which
lie proposes to remove "from the way Of
good, honest men" &c.
The one great objection to the law In the
minds of most Of the influential members Of
the Presidents party is that 1t takes away
one Of their great perquisites by preventing
them from filling the departments with
their henchmen.
This is a "stumbling-blocit" that cannot
be removed without doing worse than MUIR
derous violence to the statute.

more practical and less theoretical he is on
