and saved the accused by invaIidating
the city ordinance; it is only natural to
presume that he will again be app aled to
to stand between the officers of his couri

Under the above caption appears an
editorial in the Tribune OF Friday. which
is the first sensible article We have seen
ID that paper for months. It lets alone
for once the Mormons and their re-
igion, barely refers to the local situa-
ton, and contents itself with showing
that there are other evils threatening
the nation besides the alleged one of
Mormonism, and that not only the
ceuntry's welfare but its very existence
depends upon the cure and removal of
the threatening causes.
One of these evils, that writer thinks,
is the growth of q moneyed aristoeracy,
AN aristocracy which skulls in the
dark and lays clammy hand on every
reform and prompting Of right lest il.

THE ARMY.

General Schofeld, in his annual re-
port, puts in plea for the increase of
the army TO $1,000 enlisted men, which
is double the number now allowed by
the law. One day later the Judge-Ad-
Yocate-General's report is presented to
the public, and in 1t the officer shows
that II 900 enlisted men were tried by
court martial during the year. These
reports should set statesmen to thinking
whether it is more advisable to increase
the numerical strength of the army, or.
leaving the number of men as at pres
ent, increase the efficiency of the mill
tary arm of the nation. It seems
almost incredible that fifty per cent. of
the soldiers of the country should in
one year be guilty of crimes and
breaches of order and discipline
demanding to be court martialed;
that one-haif of the men comprising
the army are,-Unft for the service in
that they cannot be trusted. Instead
of increasing the numerical strength,
would it not be far better to add to the
efficiency and real power of the army
by elevating the standard of enlistment,
admittitg only better class of men to
the service? An army of $4,000 men,
made up of trustworthy, law-abiding,
well disciplined soldiers, IS far more
than one composed OF men
80 per cent. of whom have to be tried by
court martial in one year.

continued and the old masonry work
will be carried on between Conns Island and

tunnel progressed as usual. and the excavation
will be continued. The work of lining, how
ever, has been stopped, as its continuance
would exhaust the appropriation and prevent
driving the headings. Work was pushed on all
parts of the reservoir, the conduit construction
being carried on under the modified
plan. The work for preventing the en-
trance of canal water into the river
Just above the aqueduct inlet has been finished
The work comprised the construction OF a new
