SOLDIER BOYS DESERT.
Measures 20 he Taken to Make Army Life
More Endurable.


More Endurablc.
The War Department officials have been
rscently giving their attention to the causes
which depopulate the army. From late
statistics 1t is shown that the evil is largely
on the increase. During the six months
ending June 80. 1899. the records show an
increase OF 1876 over the number reported
for tho corresponding period OF last year.
For the last six months of the pros
emit year there were 1.467 desertions.
about I.219 for the same period Of 1888.
Fully n-eighths OF the assertions took
place during the first year OF enlistment.
The importance OF these figures is appre-
ciated by General Scholleld and Adjutant
General Kclton. and som, plan OF action
which will look toward the modification
OF the Existing articles OF war will re-
ceive their earnest advocacy and be
presented to Con sress. Quite a num-
Der OF officers believe that one OF
the best ways ID break up desertion In the
army would be to put a stop to the soldiers
doing so much extra work. When a man
enters the army no expects to become a
soldier. When he finds that. in addition to
his duty OF soldier, he has to do all the
work around the garrison and officers
quarters, the soldier feeling dies out and he
deserts at the first opportunity. generally
in the fest year OF his enlistment.

The Owls Conclusion.

The wisdom of the street committee
has evolved the conclusion that the
repugnant official grades of the Duke
street sidewalks and roadways will be
properly accommodated by raising the
sidewalks at the expense of the city.
Wherefore the city should not rather
lower the roadway, which it is its par
ticular province 10 build and repair,
we are not advised but it may be that
the awe and veneration with which
the members of the committee
regard the street railway-in which,
Of course, none of them can
possibly be pecuniarily Interested
may account for their unwillingness to
disturb the grade upon which il reposes
as 1t is all we have to account for the
tender consideration babitually shown

dendless, generally abused things have
only the bosom of the street committee
to fiee Ia for fondling.

MarvelOus Patience.

The Philadelphia Times does not un-
derstand wherefore the attorney general
and the lieutenant governor should 80
correctly read the imperative instruc-
tion of the constitution that the senato-
; rial vacancy in Delaware county should
be filed by special election, while over
looking like mandate as to Lancaster
county, where also vacancy exists,
but where the lieutenant governor
has refused his warrant for an election.
The Times compositor makes il To re-
fer to the vacancy here rs that caused
by the death Of Senator Lehman instead
Of Senator Stehman; which inspires us
to offer ii our sympathy since we are SO
often ourselves the victims of like
abominable obscurity of intelligence in
the composing room, that must needs he
endured since II is too late to be mendcd.
The patience that enables us to live
under such exacerbations of life as these,
thai are inflicted upon us by the stupid
ley or malice of compositors and lieuten-
ant governors, has IA marvellous quality
Of endurance; for just think how
Pennsylvania has endured, for ages
almost the Republican, rule that has CON
stantly played these tricks upon the peo-
pie, In perpetuating its power, and that
has grown SO careless i'm their exhibition
rs really not to care about ex planning the
grossest Inconsistencies such as that
involved, for instance, in this different
treatment Of Chester and Lancaster
counties. The political fortunes of the
ruling Republican dynasty was to be
helped by a Chester and hurt by u
Lancaster election; so it was ordered
only where 1t was wanted.
Whether the people are yet disposed
to endure such cavalier treatment we do
not know. The election will tell GER
tainly; but the anti-election disputes be-
tween Republican factions and their
contests in the counties for supremacy,
Ofier good hope that the long Repub
hcan reign is about over a conclusion
which the domination of the party by
the drunken and thoroughly rotten
Quay naturally promotes.
