MILITARY INSTRUCTORS.

An effort is making to increase the
number of army officers annually de-
tailed for service in the various educa
tional institutions of the country. The
number now so detailed is forty. 1t is
proposed to double the number. Strange
to say, the movement meets with some
opposition. The reasons underlying
the opposition are not apparent. The
proposition is distinctly meritoriOuS
one. 1t is an obvious fact that in time
of great emergency, involving the
placing of the nation in an attitude of
defense, almost entire dependence must
be placed upon the citizen soldiery.
1t is equally obvious that it Is Tor the
best interests of the country to have
that soldiery in the highest possible
state of efficiency when it is called upon.
OF course the organization of the ma
tional guard and the various independ-
ent militia companies does great deal
toward bringing about this result, and
must necessarily remain the means most
to be relied upon. But the good work
done by the militia might easily be sup
plemented by governmental co-opera-
ton. There are many men who are
potential soldiers who have not found it
desirable or convenient to become men,
bers of militia companies. Though
when necessary these men would
be expected to offer themselves
as soldiers, yet both they and the service
would labor under the disadvantage in
yolved in their lack of military training
nd nj nj
has spent more or less of his youth at
school. Had he received military train
ing at that time, his value as potential
soldier would have been largely in
creased.
Exactly upon this basis is built the
argument in favor of more extended
detail of army officers as military in
structorS in schools and colleges. Their
service could easily be spared in the
regular army, where the principal occu-
patton of the officers, outside of
their routine duties, is the devising
of ways and means for killing
time. In the army they accomplish
practically nothing; as military in
structors they could not fail to accom-
plish great deal of good. 1twould be
well indeed if every school in the coun-
try possessing the requisite number of
students could organize military COM
pany of which a regular army Off
Ger should be the commandant, and
the country would be none the loser if
every subaltern officer who is in the
regular army should be assigned to such
service.
1t is quite likely that such instruc-
tion will some day be extended to the
public school system of the country.
Certainly such solution of the problem
of making the national strength most
effective is far more agreeable than that
adopted by any other nation.

sition to the MILLS bill by saying
that while he favored tariff reform he
was opposed to allowing the Democrats
to administer the medicine. There are
some Republican leaders in Minnesota
who pursue just about as asinin course
as Mr.. MASON. They are very free in
their expressions favoring tariff reform,
but when it comes to giving practical
demonstration of their faith they invari-
ably turn up on the other side.
There are Republican politicians and
Republican editors in this state who
shout tariff reform when no elections
are on hand, but whenever election
time comes around they are found
training with the protectionists. And,
like Congressman MASON, they apollo
gize for their apparent inconsistency by
saying that they do not want the Demo
Gratis to have the credit of bringing
about tariff reform. And yet they
know as well as they know any
thing that tariff reform can never be
wrought out through any other agency
than the Democratic party. They know
as well as they know their own names
that the Republican party can never be
anything else than the party of protec-
ton. Whenever the Republican party
ceases to advocate protection it will
cease to be the Republican party. So
what is the use, then, of this silly eXcusd
for dodging straight issue? The man
who claims to be tariff reformer and
cIings to the Republican party is held
in public estimation as either hypo-
crite or fool.

EDMuNDS, SAIALLNESS.

Senator EDAIUNDs, who until recently
has represented Vermont in the ma
tional senate with distinguished ability
and credit, is just now giving the coun-
try an exhibition of just how small an
alleged statesman can be when he sets
himself about it.
EDMUNDs' smallnesS is being eXhib-
tied in connection with the confirma-
tion of Mr.. FULLER as chief justice.
There is no question about Mr. FULL
ER'S ultimate confirmation. Enough
Republican senators have announced
their intention to vote for him to place
that matter beyond the realm OF doubt.
His qualifications have been examined,
and have been found uneXceptionable.
In every way he has been proven
worthy OF the high honor conferred
upon him.
But Senator EDMUNDs did not ap-
prove of his appointment. He is a
Western man. That only is sufficient
to constitute crime in his eyes; but in
addition he is Democrat, and his eleva-
ton resulted in the discontinue of
one Of the senator's personal friends,
Hence his vindictiveness. AS chairman
of the judiciary committee Senator
EDMUNDs can delay the reporting of
Mr.. FULLER's name virtually as long
as he pleaSes.
The senate could of course, order that
the report be made; but that bugbear,
senatorial courtesy" would prevent,
even if it had the inclination. In the
meanwhile, that the senator's spleen
may be exhibited, the supreme court,
already overcrowded with business,
must remain handicapped by being de-
prived of much needed assistance, and
every one having business before it
must be inconvenienced.
1t is an exhibition of narrow-minded-
ness which does not well comport with
the reputation EDMUNDs had gained.
Mr.. FULLER can much better afford to
suffer from it than the Vermont senator
can afford to suffer from the eventual
consequences

Small interest and advantage to the job

large territory into which the mercan-
tile houses of the Northwestern cities
have been shipping has been directly af-

A Man of the World.

There is probably no figure either in
real life or in fiction quite so admirable
as the well-dressed, self-poised man of
the world, and both in real life and in
fiction there have been some notable
characters of that kind. Men who are
always serene and quite sure of know
ing their way, who go to their point as
a bullet goes to its mark-men with
power Of eye, always equal to the occa-

world is the real stirring world of men
and women all about us, and compre-
hendS the survey of crime, vice and
errors as well as truth, virtue and inno-

Uptoplia, nor do they expect to find per-
fection anywhere but in heaven. They
have the liberation which grows out of
wisdom and are not cynical and austere,
but charitable, condition of mind in
eyitable to the just man who under

the urbanity, the grace and manner, and

THE METHODISTS.
Preparing for the Bishops Elec-
tiOn TODAY

NEW YORK, May 21.-To-day's session
of the general Methodist conference
was presided over by Bishop Walden.
DR.. Pane, of Ohio, of the committee on
education, presented a report in refer
ence to removing the determinations
now existing against the students of the
conference schools as set forth in the
memorial of the New England confer
ence, which report was adverse to the
memorial. The report provoked some
discussion, but was finally adopted.
The committee-on ecumenical council
reported resolution in connection with
the coming ecumenical conference,
which recommended that each annual
conference should send two clerical
and two lay delegates. DR.. Walsh Of
fered as an amendment that the delega-
ton consist of but two representatives,
instead of four. Adopted, and re-
port as thus amended was passed.
Then came up the question as to
where the money was to come to meet
the expenses of delegates to this con-
ference. DR.. Hunt offered a resolution
that the general conference should not
incur any expense in connection with
the ecumenical council. DR.. Smart,
who is guardian of the funds of the
Methodist Book concern, then got up
and wanted to know where the money
was to come from. He declared that
not one penny of the book concern fund
could be used, and if it were done, it
would simply be misappropriating its
funds and only be dishonest transac-
ton. His remarks were loudly ap-
plauded, and the resolution of DR..
Hunt was adopted. The committee on
episcopacy then, through DIR. Lanahan,
4l,n n,.1n Of oil
recommended that all nominations for
offices except bishops should be made
in open conference without comment.
Bishops will be first elected, then agents
of the book concern, then secretaries and
then editors. The report was adopted.
The committee on missions presented a
report recommending the election of a
missionary bishop for India and Ma
laysia. The inevitable discussion was
precipitated, and DR.. Flood came to the
rescue by Offering motion, which was
carried, making it the order of the day
for tomorrow Immediately after the
reading of the journal. While all this
was going on the members were leaving
their seats and congregating in the lob
by. Electioneering for tO-morrow'S
election of bishops was in order, and it
was learned that, in opposition to the
methods of other years, printed ballots
have been obtained containing the
names of five candidates. 1t is an open
secret that the name of DR.. j. Fl. Vim
cent is on all these tickets, and his
election is foregone conclusion. Revs.
Neely, Kynell and Spencer are also men
toned as probably successful candidates.
While discussing the missionary bishop
for India matter, the time expired, and
Bishop Walden declared the session ad-
iOurned.

Protection Doomed.

New York Herald.
1t is our deliberate Judgment that if
the Mills bill fails to become law at
this session protection is doomed. There
will never again be proposed in congress
so moderate and conservative a measure
OF tariff reform as this bill. Discussion
will disclose to the American people
what they do not yet even suspect
the real enormity of the monopolist sys-
tenn which appeals tor protection"
When they have been made to see that
they will sweep it all Indignantly away
and decree freedom of exchange, as they
decreed freedom of productive labor.
All the revenue required for all pur-
poses, including pensions and the inter-
est on the debt, can be raised by duties
and internal taxes ON not more than
twelve or fourteen articles. Is it wise
for the monopolist capitalists, by de-
feating the Mills bill, to provoke a dis
cussion which will make this clear to
every man and woman in the United
States?

A HEAVY SENTENCE.

What a California Man Got for
Swindling a Farmer---PauI
GrOttkau, the Socialist Leader.
Reieased---An Attempt to Burn
a South Carolina Town.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-A heavy
sentence has been imposed on Simon
Hamburg for sWindling a man out of
$4,000. Last November Hamburg and
an accOmplice sold to man named
Parker, an Oregon farmer, certain real
estate in this city to which they had no
title. Parker did not examine the title,
but gave them 5000 cash and his farm
III Oregon, worth $500. When recently
the title to the city property was found
to be defective, Hamburg entered a
plea that he sold under belief that the
title was perfect, but he would not re-
fund the money. Later Hamburg's ac-
complice confessed that Hamburg had
deliberately planned to rob Parker of
his money. The jury then found Ham,
burg guilty, and the court in sentencing
the prisoner regretted that the crime of
which he was guilty was only a misde-
meanor in California. The judge then
sentenced him to Imprisonment in the
county jail for one year, and to pay
fine equal to double the amount of
money he fraudulently obtained from
Parker, namely, fine of $4,000, and
that III default of payment of the fine he
be further imprisoned at the rate of one
day for each dollar. If the fine is not
paid Hamburg will therefore have to
serve altogether tifty-three years and
twenty daVS

YES TIBULED TRAINS.
They Are Taking All the Passen-
ger Business Away From St.
TiOuiS

Louis.
st. Louis is now greatly exercised
over the vestibuled trains that are being
sent out from and through to Chicago.
Upon this subject the Globe-Democrat
publishes long article, in which it
openly declares that Chicago is taking
all the passenger business away from
st. Louis. This wall opens as follows:
"Circulars were received in this city
(St. LouiS) yesterday by the general
passenger agents announcing the in
augurati0n of the vestibuled train serv-
Ice between Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Chicago by the Northwestern line. The
sleeping cars on these trains have been
built expressly for this service by the
PulIman and Wagner companies, and
for beauty of interior, design and
luxurious arrangement are said to COM
pletely eclipse the far-famed vestibuled
trains of the East" The article then
proceeds to describe the train and says:
This gives Chicago the magnificent
yestibuled train service to Northern,
Eastern and Western points. A rail
road official, in talking over the matter,
said that simple statement OF these
facts was reason enough why the great
tide of passenger traffic from the West
was being diverted every day by the
way OF Chicago. The fact could not be
disguised or denied that an immense
amount of traffic was going that way
Just now that should come by the way
OF st. Louis. The travelling public could
not be blamed for accepting the best ac-
cOmmodations obtainable for their
money. The Chicago roads were charg-
ing no more for travelling in vestibuled
trains than the st. Louis lines we're
charging for accommodations in their
rickety old coaches that should have
been side-tracked long ago or converted
into clearinghouse cars for cOnstruc-
tion trains. Some of the st. Louis lines
have not yet put on chair cars, and
after they decide to make that improve
ment for the accommodation of the
public they will doubtless say that
yestibuled trains will be good enough
for the patrons of their lines ten years

THE CHURCHES KICK.
A Grand. Protest Against the Chi
Cago Council.

CaSO COunCll.
CHICAGO, May 21.-The recent over
whelming defeat in the city council of
an ordinance prohibiting the location of
saloons in the immediate vicinity of
churches and schools, and placing GER
tain restrictions on Sunday liquor
traffic, has resulted in arousing a great
deal of indignation among large class
OF citizens. Numerous meetings have
been called to take action in the matter,
and the first of these was held last even
ing by the members of the Holy Family
Catholic parish. Several telling speeches
were made, and petition framed and
signed by over 900 parishioners asking
the council to pass the defeated Ordi-
nance, or one similar thereto. Resolu-
tlOnS were adopted denOuncing the
nineteen Catholic aldermen who had
voted against the ordinance, and adj
moniShing them to either vote or re-
form or resign their seats. Th Cath
OllcS of nearly every parish in the city,
it is said, have signified their intention
of taking a similar action at once.
Rev. Bishop Fallows, of the Re-
formed Episcopal church, also de-
hvered an earnest address on the
subject in st. Paul'S church. He held
it to be the duty of church people to
take especial pains to see that the pres
ent council was changed as speedily as
possible. The council had arrayed
itself against the church; had jeered
and scotfed at petitions, and the church
should accept the issue. Every shade
of religious faith should unite in the
work.
Rev. Mr.. Crawford, of the Fulton
street Methodist Episcopal church, said
the municipal government had not done
It's duty toward law-abiding citizens.
The people had been overriden simply
because there were thirty aldermen in
the council who were either saloon
keepers or had friends in the business.
The duty of right-minded citizens is
plain.
