ARMY DEsERTIONs.

What is to be done to stop the tide of
desertion from the army of the United
States? The answer is simple; increase
the pay of the men, call for higher grade
of recruits, and once in the army relieve
them of mere scayenger duty and make
them by soldierly treatment proud of their
station. As rule the men who now enlist
in the piping times of peace are those who
are unable to find, or unwilling to engage
in ordinary labor. The recuitlng offices
are usually located in sections that draw
upon elements out of which self respecting
and soldierly characters are not to be
made. The pay of the 'private" is ridi-
culously small and is no inducement to
men who have any sort of ambition to be
something in life, or to prepare for old
age. We have an army of $4,000 men; of
these 2,Sll deserted last year, or S72 more
than in the preceding year. Besides hav-
ing very demoralizing effect upon the
men who remain, these desertions infict
a heavy money loss upon the Government,
as they necessitate the Constant working
of recruiting stations; and the incidental
loss of clothing is considerable figure, in
addition to the loss of the money expended
IN maintaining and training the recruit
before he is assigned to company, for
most of the deserters are new recruits To
the credit of the better men of the army
1t Is to..be said that they remain, and these
are always found, by the way to be the
more intelligent, neat and correct men
when recruits, proving that the manly
quality produces the better soldier. A
large number enlist for sake of transporta-
ton to distant points, to secure change of
scene, to escape from home difficulties, ETC.,
and all these contemplate desertion from
the outset The staying men are those
who adopt the soldiers life in earnest, and
because the military atmosphere is natur-
ally congenlal to them. The wearisome-
ness of garrison duty, the lack of adven-
ture, the drudgery of camp, the la1ity of
military law in furnishing desertion, all
contribute to simulate and encourage it.
The true remedies are those suggested at
the outset of the article To prevent
desertion raise the character of the army
standard for privates; make desertion life
disgrace and punish it with great severity;
teach the recruit that he has not ceased to
be man with hopes and ambitions, be.
cause he has enlisted; finally, by good pay,
manly treatment, hope of reward and
honorable recognition, make it to the in
terest of the man to remain through his
term of service

The Salt of the Earn,

Salt in the whitewash will make it sticl,
better.
Wash the mica of the stove doors with
salt and vinegar.
Brass-work can be kept beautifully
bright by occasionally rubbing with salt
and vinegar
Damp salt will remove the discol-
Grafton of cups and saucers caused by tea
and careless washing.
When broiling steak throw little salt
on the Goals and the blaze from dripping
fat will not annoy.
To clean willow furniture use salt and
water. Apply it with nail brush, scrub
well and dry thoroughly.
If, after having a tooth pulled, the
mouth Is filled with salt and water it will
aliay the danger of having hemorrhage.
Salt as tooth powder is better than al
most anything that can be bought. Ii
keeps the teeth brilliantly white and the
gums hard and rosy.
Carpets may be greatly frightened by
first sweeping thoroughly and then going
over them with clean cloth and clear salt
aud water. Use a cupful of salt TO a large
basin of water.
Ii the feet are tender or painful after
long standing or walking, great relief can
be had by bathing them in salt and water.
A handful of salt to a gallon of water is
the right proportion. Have the water as
hot as can comfortably be borne.

The proposition of the Native Sons of
the Golden West, to erect a memorial pile
In honor of the pioneers of California, is
an excellent one, and deserving of all ap-
proval. But no sooner is the idea sug-
gested than the San Francisco press-is
there. anything that press is not equal to
-exclaims: "Ah, yes, commendabIe
plan. Let the monument be erected in
Golden Gate Park, in this city, as a per-
petual tribute to the brave and sturdy
men, etc" Now, if any such structure is
ever erected, there is one spot above all
others in the State where it should stand,
1t is scarcely necessary to mention it, it
suggests itselfto every thoughtful mind
the site Of Suffers old fort in Sacramento.
All the historic traditions and all the con.
dltions and circumstances attaching to the
proposition emphatically speak for the
Sutter Fort site. In fact, the most fitting
memorial that could be erected would be
the restored fort and its reconstruction in a
manner to make its preservation matter
of State pride. The ground is historic !;
every foot of it is rich in tradition every
ounce of its soil ought to be dedicated to
the memory of the pioneers of California.

the public good. The social mingling of
these people of the interior press, the OPP
portunity to exchange personal views, to be-
come acquainted with each other and to form

results in the session about to open, and
encourage better feeling and broader

vOked to disorder by their presence than
by any other cause. when quartered
among them for the purpose of interfer-
ing III civil matters. Left to the man
agement of their own local affairs by
the use of the ordinary agencies
of government, there is not the
slightest danger of disorder or resistance
TO law or legal process In no part OF
Texas do the people evince more pride in
the fact of the general prevalence of law
and order than do the people of the Pan
handle. This part OF the state has never
needed the benefit of the ranger act. 1t
has never been infested by Mexi-
can banditti or robbers. No
band of men have ever con-
spired to resist the execution of the
law in it. No train Tobberies have ever
occurred in it away from the ID. T. 81
+. W. r. r. Civil authority has always
been able to assert itself unaided, eK-
cept, perhaps, in rare and exceptional
instances, and in these the posse comita-
tus has always been found sufficient.
There is scope enough for the ranger and
men Of fighting instinct where train rob-
Der and bandit hold sway. 1t
tary arm of the state has not
been more effective against them. I'm
til they are suppressed, the field of glory
tor the ranger is where they are but
among a people who value reason,
conscience and law more than brute
force, and fight their battles IN the
forum where they hold sway there are
no laurelS, and nothing but contempt
and scoTn for men who can maintain
supremacy in civil affairs only by the
use of the Winchester and six-shoOter.
In this letter l have puTposely avoid
ed the discussion of facts or principles
involved i'll pending litigation. The
pTopriety OF doing so will readily occur
to your eXcellency. But it is not out of
place to say that there are the strongest
reasons, on grounds Of local prejudice,
why the questions involved in the cleo
ton cases above mentioned should be
passed upon by the supreme court. All
the settlers ask i'll their contest with the
baron is fair play on the part of the jul
dicial and executive branches of the gov
eminent. In the end they have con-
fdence this will be accorded to them.
With assurances of great respect for
your eXcellency, and of the most implicit
confidence that the spirit of justice, and

DEAR SIR-In reply to your commurii-
cation of the 18th inst, I will inform
you that neither Mr.. Alcorn, his attor-
neys nor anyone else ever asked me to
serve a writ of custer or any other kind
OF a writ on Mr.. ID. E. Burns. Nor did
[ know that there was such paper N
existence until Mr.. D. J. Cox and his
posse had charge of the clerks office.
I will further inform you that if there
had been such a writ placed in my hands
it would have been executed promptly
and without the Intervention
of the rangers or any one else. And 1
defy any one to show wherein have ever
failed to execute any process, legally
issued, that was placed in my hands, and
that / have never known of q single in
stance in Roberts county where one oE
her citizens resisted legal process. Nor
have 1 ever heard OF q disturbance of

the appearance of rangers IN Miami IS

utterly false andHhtrue. Very truly
