Didn,s Want Fer Lopsided.

Down in Mississippi not so very long
ago there was |. young darky who bore
tne classic name of Scipio and was the
happy possessor of two mules who rejoiced
IN the appellations Sam Jones and Mary,
ana SO dearly did he cherish the brutes
Gnat one day when he met a girl named
Mary he fell in love with the dusky maid
en- for no other reason, as he admitted,
IMAM That she bore the same cognomen as
ehe on mule, and they decided to wed.
oclplo wanted to do the thing up right
ana give the bride present, SO he went
one DAY to she little country store, and aft
81 examining the entire stock he purchased
TWO hoopskirts and took them back to the

subjected to extreme humiliation and dis
grace, to result possibly in the overthrow, of
dynasty, at the hands of little nation of
one-tenth its population and about one
tenth its territorial area. And why is this9
1t is not because tina great people are lack
ing in talent, or general education, or mill
tary courage, but because they have failed
to develop their military strength and re-
sources. In disciplined troops. in arms and
equipments of all kinds, in efficient ships
of war and in general military preparation
and. education, they are far behind the en-.
terprising little military nation that Is now
teaching them and the world this treinen-'
dous lesson.
1.-THE relation ofvthe United States to the
great military powers of Europe now exhi-
bits far greater disparity in respect to
preparation for war than that which has
existed between China and Japan. Will the
people of the United States and their rep
resentatives have the modesty toappreciate
and the wisdom to profit by this lesson?
The Atlantic ocean is, under modern,
conditions, little moi serious an obstacle to
the navies and transports of Europe than
are the Japan and Yellow seas to those OF
Japan. Whence comes our feeling of securi-
ty. Are the.other nations of the earth
SO much more.in 1ove.with us and our 1nsti-
buttons than are our own people that We
can trust foreigners, while many thousand
of our own citizens must be controlled by
the strong military armt Are our statesmen
go much more skilledin state-craft and di-
piomacy than others that we can rely upon
their ability to always secure by such means
thesinterests and honor Of the United States
in competition with the often conflicting
interests of other countries2 Or are the
people of this country ready to see the
national honor sacificed when need be to
secure material interests to avoid conflict
of arms. What guarantee of peace with
honor has the history of the world ever as
sured, except preparation for war. and
now that modern science has so radically
changed the conditions of military ana ma
val success, how much more impossible has
security for peace consistent with honor
become, except through thorough prepare
lions for war!
COAST FORTIFICATIONS
'sThe time has therefore fully come when
the people of the United States should dis
miss the overc confidence born of past ex-
perienoe and look the future squarely in
the face. The more especially is this the
fact in respect to the extended seacoasts of
the country and tho broad oceans where
the interests of the United States must be

to continue to be frst-olass nation
Armies, even though well disciplined well
instructed and perfectly armed, cannot
defend.the seacoast against modefn ships
of war Suitable Notifications, with e1fec-
tive high power armament, are the only
possible means of such defense, while the
finest navy which the able officers of that
department have ever proposed will be
abundantly employed in rendering indispen-
sable service in all parts of the martin
world. Hence. no time should be lost in
prosecutir the system of Notifications and
armament neretofore inaugurated, until the
great seaports of the country are placed
in satisfactory condition for effective de-
tense against any possible attack. The most
liberal appropriations for this purpose will
be the wisest economy.
Every year heretofore, in proportion TO
my official responsibilities. have endeav-
ored to point out what believed to be the
military necessities of the country in these
respects. Now, in this, the last annual re-
port which expect to be called upon to
write, deem it my duty to make a last and
more. emphatic presentation to my fellow
citizens and to their government Of what
l consider requisite to place their military
commensurate with the interests, dignity
and honor of great nation. Continent.
al isolation is no longer any security;against
formidable attack. Great territory and
wealth are only the Grade materials from
which military strength may be created.
No nation, however populous and rich
can hope to MAINTAIN itself among the great
nations of the earth, unless its military
strength is made by development to bear a
reasonable proportion to that maintained
by tho other great nations.
'The conflicting interests and jealousies
of other nations may at times prevent any
of them from engaging in active hostilities
against this country, but at other times
similar interests and jealousies are as likely
to unite them against US. Are the United
States willing to occupy this humble place
of dependence upon the interest and jeal-
ousies of other nationsf Or will they as
sumo and maintain their great place among
the nations of the earth-mistress of their
own policy and arbiter of their own destiny?,
In closing his report, Gen. Schofield says;
ITO the President and to the Secretary of
War, beg leave to tender my thanks for
the kind and generous confidence which
they have uniformly manifested, by which
in great measure has been established more
satisfactory relation between the military
administration and the command of the
army than has perhaps existed at any for
mer period in the history of the country"

nothing but what we were captured in
shirts and pants. All our clothing was
aboard the Archer and was confiscated by
the city authorities and we were never al

was some time before the government made
up their mind to treat us as prisoners of
war. They wanted to hang us as plrate s.

ident Davis that an equal number of yam
kee prisoners of the rank of colonel would
share the same fate. l will take this oppor-
tunity to state that each one of our crew

was just sixteen months from the time that
we were captured that we were exchanged.
