The Secretary of War remains firm
in the order which he made requiring
all officers who have been on staffduty
four years or more to return to their
regiments and active duty. Generals
Sheridan, Pope, Schofield and Howard
have all asked that their personal
aides be excepted from the order, but
Secretary Endicott insists that all
shall be treated alike, and that these
officers must take their share of hard
and unpleasant duty with tie others
This is, of course, displeasing to them.
but it applies a potent remedy to ills
which have caused dissatisfaction
among army men for years.

The committee of the U. S. Senate
has been at work devising ways for
reducing the expenses of that body.
1t is said that they will report, when
Congress meets, a plan for reorgan-

largely reduce the number of en-
ployes. and so reduce the expense.
1t is the first time we ever heard of
one of the summer committees" OF
Congress doing anything except hav
ing q good time.

1t is stated by Treasury officials
at Washington that the demand for
small currency is enormous just now,
and this fact they regard as indica
Tive of q revival of business activity
and q return of prosperity. They say
that when business is dull the large
bills are accumulated by capitalists
and boarded. When prospects bright
en- these large bills are converted in
to small ones and the latter go forth
on a benificent mission. 1t is certain
ly a fact that crops are large and
moving fairly well, and the present
demand for small bills may real y be
one of the signs of improvement.
Some idea of the boundIess domain
over which the bird of Freedom
proudly flaps his symbolic wing may
be gathered from the fact that Lieut.
Henry T. Allen, of the second caval
ry, has just made an exploration
covering 1900 miles of territory up
on which the enfranchised citizen O.
this glorious land had never before
set foot and had only vaguely heard
of. 1t is true this territory is in wha'
we now know as Alaska, but all the
same Uncle Sans tract is so bic
that he isn't himself, well acquainted
with the whole of it yet.

Another Republican is to be en-
rolled among the holy men of the
party. John Roach, as soon as his
failure to make fortunes out of the
navy contracts caused him to sus
pend business, was martyrized, and
presented TO the public as a suffering
saint without whom America would
never had. "a ship. Now, Boss Shep
pard berg about to return to Wash
ington, is to be subjected to a public
reception, in commemoration of the
days when he spent millions of dol
lars, appropriated 20 public improve
ments, among his r~etainers in and
out of Congress. When such men as
these are put forward as the emblems
of modern Republicanism, the truth
is forced upon those who note the
fact that the country has had about
all of that article which it can safely
stand.

THE SOUTHERN C0L0RED YOUTH
A Grave and Anxious Problem,
for the South.

A Connecticut man, who has been
for several months through
the Southern States and seeing all
parts of that section as we'll as all
parts of the population, has written
from California his views OF the
colored people of the South. 1t was
a nrivate letter and never was writ

The writer, like the gentleman to
whom it is written "a Hartford many,
is a republican. 1t is to be hoped
that he takes too somber view of
the young men and women of the
colored people. But we give part

The fact is, in a few words, that the

Gods creatures. He only works
when he cannot steal to live, and
with enough in his pocket to subsist
for three days, he is rich. Education

there are exceptions-but what !
here say is true of the masses. Those
who were formerly slaves are not In
cluded in my condemnation. They
are generally sober, industrious and
good citizens. They were taught to
work, and very many of them (now
