Extravaganza and Inefiiciency in tn
British Army Service

Extravaganza and Iuefiiciency in the
British Army Service.
LONDON, March Sth.-The debate on the
motion of Sir Walter B. Bartletun (Con-
servative) for the appointment of local
Commission to ascertain and report upon
the military measures necessary for the
protection of the Empire, was resumed in
the Commons tonight by Lord Churchill.
He commenced his speech by reminding
the House that no less than IT'S members
were connected with the army and navy
services, and that the debate had disclosed
their absolute uranimity on one point,
namely-that notwithstanding the i'm
mense increase in expenditures the mill.
tary position of England was deplorably
bad. The remedy OF these members was
the expenditure of more money, but his
remedy was reform in expenditure.
Enough had already been paid to maintain
both services in state of splendid eff
cheney, but the English system was with
out parallel in any other country. Military
men who had been trained in the business
OF arms were being subordinate to civilians
who were utterly unframed. 1t would
be just as reasonable for the Premier to
nominate Mr.. Labourchere for Archbishop
of Canterbury, or to make Mr. Chaplin
Lord Chancellor. Laughter.
Military training seemed TO QiSquallfy
man from managing the War Office, and
that must be altered. Financial control,
after the estimates are granted, ought to be
placed in the hands of responsible officers.
English officers were made spending ami
mails, instead of, ike German officers,
rivaling one another in economy The
stores for German regiment could so to
the front on twelve hours notice, without
prolonged letters from the War Office
That could not be done in England
without piles of folios passing and repass-
ing every day. The monsuous waste in
money extended to every branch of the
service. A rigid and vigorous inquiry and
radical reforms were imperatively neces-
sary. He could not vote confidence in the
existing system. 1t is hopeessly bad.
[Cheers
Stanhope, Secretary of War, intimated
that the Government would sanction in
quiry into any definite matter connected
with the estimates, but would resist the ap-
pointment of a royal Commission OF
vague and general character.
The motion for the appointment of
royal Commission was negatived.

A WORD TO THE TRUSTEES.

1t is notorious fact that the air is full
of distruSt aud suspicion concerning the
protection of the ballot-box in Sacramento.
We yesterday pointed out that the glass
ballot-box is an aid to fair dealing, a free
ballot and an honest count. 1t was shown
that in using the old-time tin abomina-
tions, We are twenty-five years behind the
age in Sacramento. 1t is notorious that
the belief is entertained, and that there are
excellent reasons for it, that at the city
election in 1887, fraudulent votes were cast
and counted in very large numbers. Now
then, if glass ballot-boxes will tend to pre-
vent fraud, why not have them at once
Since there is not time before the 18th
inst. in which to procure the glass-globe
ballot-boxes, let us ask the Trustees what
probable objection can be raised to taking
the eight tin boxes we now have, and in
serting one glass side in each, by putting
in plate glass, securely fixed in metal
rabbits closed with solder, leaving sufficient
frame work to maintain the strength of
the box? The task is light, the cost
nominal, the time ample in which to do
the work well. Mayor Gregory and
Trustees Jones and Ryan, what have you
to say why this should not be done by your
order at once, that every citizen in front of
the polling booths may see, through the
glass, the falling of every ballot? The
Board, it is true, does not meet until Mon
day next, but we apprehend that the
Mayor can, if indeed il needs official
sanction of all the Board, call it together
at once and have this order made. If they
are solicitious that the peopleshall not have
cause to suspect treachery, and reason to cast
the blame of fraudulent outcome upon
the Board, the Trustees will not neglect
this important subject, but order the uork
done to-day. 1t is remarkable that Re-
publican Sacramento should be so much
behind Democratic Colusa in this matter.
where the transparent ballot-box has been
in use for more than two decades. Next
Tuesday an election is to be held in this
city, in which the bosses running both par
ties have everything at stake. If they
catch the faintest odor of possible defeat
they will not sickle at any means to COM
pass their ends. They have not hesitated
before, they will not now. The voting of
dead men it may not be easy to prevent +;
the corpses of the ancient Great Register
will stalk abroad on election day, and only
courageous vigilance can prevent them
from depositing ballots to "kill" the votes
of living men. 1t is possible, indeed easy
for corrupt inspectors and judges to change
a voters ballot before his very eyes, and ii
has been done; but with the glass ballot.
box no inspector or judge can, with any
degree of safety, drop into the box more
ballots than are actually presented at the
bar of the polling-booth. We probably
must endure the resurrection of the corpses
but at least give the people the opportu-
nifty to see that they deposit but one ballot
for certainly the most active of corpses
should be granted no more political priyi-
leges than living man. Furthermore il
is necessary that it may be made certain

At 10 o'clock last night the people out

the fact was being concealed.

THE OPEN REVOLT.

1He 1sepuoliCdh party III 'odcFSinenIO az
last lifts its head Claiming to be party
of intelligence, its bone and sinew now
propose to prove it. Claiming to have
been born of principle and the contest for
freedom, and to be the champion of fair
play, free ballots and honest counts, the
men of the party propose to demonstrate
their faith by their action
Never in the history of this capital city
has there been held more representative
meeting of Republicans than that of last
night, to protest against corruption and
lift the standard of revolt against odious
bosses and bossism. 1t was body of in
telligence, worth, decency, sobriety; a
body of Republican citizens representing
homes, children, present devotion to the
city's best interests, and standing for the
grandest promise for its future.
1t was such a body as is rarely called to-
gether. No man in Sacramento could take
the Republican roster and name five hun
dred Sacramento men who would surpass
those Of last night, in all the qualities
that go to make up good citizenship.
These earnest, home-loving, fair play,
fair ballot, anti-boss, sober and law-abiding
Republicans, sick of boss-rule, weary of
political slavery, uttered a protest that
reads like a new Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and promises the Republican party
in Sacramento emancipation through revo-
luton.
Let the young men OF Sacramento read
the names of the men this protesting
body has put forward to represent them,
and judge which they will ally themselves
with the true men or the corruptionists
the citizens demanding political freedom,
or the bossing, bulldozing" crew that
has the helm of the Republican craft in
hand
These protesting men of last nights
mass meeting, from shop and office, forge
and counter-these are the citizens a
trimming, sneering and unprincipled even
ing sheet, the openly -confessed,,organ of the
bosses, terms mugwumps," kickers, purity
men, squealers and so on to the
end of a chapter of sneers at
decency, order, law and fair play. Let
the titles it has applied in scorn and sheer
ing be canonized-all hail to the Mug
wumps," the kickers, squealers and purity
men of the Republican party of Sacra-
mento. Defeat with these is thousand
fold to be preferred to victory with the
insolent and corrupting bosses who have
the Republican party organization by the
throat in this fair city.
The Republican party machinery in this
city must be rescued from the hands into
which it has fallen. A Presidential cam
paign is approaching, and the Republican
party will not follow the lead of a Central
Committee ruled by the Rhoadses and Roe
ders and Darouxs and their lieutenants
any longer, A new Central Committee
must be created, and now the order of
succession must be broken up and the
Republican party in Sacramento at once
rescued from the influences that are driv-
