Promotion From The Ranks.
[Harper's Weekly

The number of men who enter the
army with view to secure promotion,
outside of those who have relatives in
the service, is limited to much smaller
number than is generally supposed.
The enactment of the law allowing en-
listed men of any grade to apply for ex-
animation for a commission removed all
incentive for applicants to strive for the
lower non commissioned grades, a most
serious defect in the law. 1t is in keep
ing with the legislation advocated by
Mr.. Proctor during his term of office, re-
lative to the gradual elimination of the
old soldier, and his replacement by
better class of young men, who were to
be secured by holding out as a tempting
bait promotion from the ranks.
The large number applying for exami-
nation at present would naturally lead
to the suppositiOn that Mr.. Proctors OBJ
ject was surely being accomplished, but
such is not the case.
The enlisted force of the army is to-
day composed of no better men than 1t
was ten or twelve years ago; in fact, a
comparison results favorable to the old
soldier. The men who are now being
examined for promotion do not in any
sense represent the great body of the en-
listed men of our service.
They in reality represent class con-
sisting of about One-twentieth of the en-
listed force, who have nothing in COM
mon with the other nineteen-twentieths
and who are fully alive to the advan-
tages they possess over the West Point
graduate in securing their shoulder
straps in one-half the time required by
the cadet to consummate his high ambi-
ton.
The enlisted men of the army, espec-
tally the old soldiers, look upon these
men as a favored class-and favored they
are in many ways during their prepara-
tory two years service.
The soldiers reasons, and justly, that
if the four years of preparation at West
Point are necessary to fully equip the
cadet for the requirements of his posi-
tiOn as an officer, it is presumption to
suppose that man of ordinary intelli-
gence can, in two years, in addition to
his duties as soldier, fit himself for the
accomplishment of the work required of
tine graduate.
Possessed of the finest military co1-
lege in the world, which has been tn"
alma mater of the greatest soldiers .ot
modem times, it should be the ann or
the United States to supply the commf
stoned officers of our army from tho
source, restricting promotion from t,
ranks to extreme cases, in recognition OF
extraordinary acts of conspicuous brav-
cry on the battlefield, or other distin-
gushing feature of the soldiers service.

evidenced by the increase in the price of
hides and leather as in the price of beef.
But the betterment in price will stimu-
late cattle raising all over the country.
The farmers in the East will be quick to
turn penny in this way, and as event
ually the herds in the West must largely
disappear, there is every reason to believe
that the small farmers must in time be
the main source of our meat supply.
AS is frequently pointed out, the high
price of beef will incline many people to
seek a meat supply in mutton. This
will in some measure compensate for the
Democratic injury to focks resulting
from the free wool measure. Farmers
should study these questions with a view
to profting by the study. There is
money in raising cattle for beef, and
sheep for mutton. If some of our dairy
farmers would abandon the mich COWS
and stock their farms with beef cattle,
and replace the skinny, wool sheep by
those affording the best quality of NUT.
ton, they would secure larger returns for
their labor with less expense than they
do at present.

Beef aLittle RuIIish.

The advance in the price of meats, es-
pecially beef, is attracting much atten-
ton. The newspapers with all their
wisdom do not seem to agree as to the
real cause of the unceasing upward ten
dency in the price. We do not profess
to be able to do more than others have
done, but it seems far more reasonable
to ascribe the advance in price to dim
mutton in the supply, an increase in the
demand or perhaps the operation of both
Ct these causes, than it does to ascribe it
to the operation of trusts. We are so
prone to charge what we do not under
stand to the doings of some malevolent
trust that we often make fools of our
selves-an easy job, we admit, in many
cases. This buzzard like peering about
to see if the carcasses are not manipulat-
ed by trust is all right, of course, but
when no "trust" seems to be in sight, it
seems to us that little intelligent ex-
animation of the subject would be profit
able. For some years past meats have
been exceptionally low, often below the
cost of production; under these condi-
tiOns the heHls in some sections have
disappeared.
In parts of the West, particularly dur
ing the past year, dry weather has not
only cut off the grass and other food sup
ply, but it has had marked influence to
diminish the number and quality of
marketable beeves. Again, the great
Western and Southern ranges are being
reduced in size and number by the settle
ment upon them of small farmers, who
for some years will send no beef cattle to
market. These causes alone are suffi
cient to make the supply below the de
mand. Besides, the decrease in the cat
tie supply of this country is as surely

Ex. x.Secretary of the Navy whitney i,

Ex.Secretary of the Navy Whitney is
prominently mentioned as the successor
IF late Secretary Gresham. But Mr.. Whit
ney doesn't care for civil service reform,
and he doesn't pretend to. He has al
ways regarded his notorious $50, 900 sale
to Mr.. Van Allen of the Office of Minister
to Italy, during the last presidential cam
paign, as good stroke of political bust
ness. Unlike the chief beneficiary of the
sale, and the one who fulfll6 the az ZEE
ments, he didn't attempt to whitewash
the iniquity with a thick coat of plati-
tudinOus phrases on civil service reform.
Hypocrisy doesn't seem to be in him.
and that fact will probably prevent ser
ious consideration of his claims. With
the ability to give the public daily doses
of hypOcritical cant on civil service re-
form while prostit uting the public SER
vice for the strength and profit of his
master, Whitney would be Cleveland's
man, but Whitney, whatever else he is,
is no hypocrite. The principal differ
ence between Cleveland aud Whitney is
that though they are both in politics for
what there is in it, the latter makes no
secret of the fact, while Cleveland has
disguised everyone by his dishonest
poses as a refonner.

The last Bennington BANNER criticises
Superintendent Stone severely for hold
ing teachers institutes one day in place
instead of three or four days as formerly
To one who has not tried the plan by ac-
tual experience, the structures NAV ap-
pear just. The aim in these meetings is to
give practical instruction in every day
school work, and it has been found that
one, or at the most two days instruction
of this kind is as much as teachers can
make good use of, and three or four days
work in place involves a great deal of
repetition and becomes tiresome. An
other important feature of the work is
that communities need waking up as
well as the teachers and by meeting in
four places this work can be done to
much greater extent. The plan is to
hold a lively meeting each evening,
which calls out large attendance, and
awakens the interest of the general pub
lie in school work, and in the hearty sup
port of our new school laws, and this
work needs to be done as well as the

So HATCHoBoRI, HIROSHIMA,
April 9th. 1895.


Editor Bennington Banner-DEAR SIR:
Your readers may be interested in an ac-
count of the departure of the MikadO and
the Empress from Hiroshima to KyOto.
We would hardly think of Grover Cleve-
lands sending his wife off on 800 miles
journey one day and he following on the
next day. In Japan marital relations
are cut and dried and custom makes SER
wants of the race, from the farmer to the
Emperor. 1t would not do for the i'm
perial pair to go together this tedious
journey, so yesterday at seven in the
morning with cannons roaring, school
Children silent, vast thrOng of men and
women with barred heads stationed at
corners along the way to the station, her
majesty, in European dress with Euro
pean dressed attendants, in coach of for
eigl type, proceeded to n special train
that should carry her past groups of
eager witnesses at every station between
here and Kyoto. The Japanese call her
"beppin' which means a beauty. She
passed the corner on which live. l
went down stairs and got very fair
view although it was short. She is far
lighter complexion than the average Jap
anese if my eyes did not deceive me. She
is not old looking but has freshness of
countenance as of youth. Her features
seemed oval and her face seemed long.
She sat erect and not smile nor a frown
seemed to rest on her face. 1t made one
hope for the future of women in Japan
to see her and her maids of honor driven
by as important personages, mounted
gendarmes in front and soldiery in the
rear. 1 was glad to have seen her.
This mornings spectacle, however,
showed the race live among in its nat
ural side. Lanterns were hung on both
sides the road on continuous strings resi-
ing on bamboo poles for over three quar-
ters of a mile to the station, not lighted
but as ornaments. Over the road were
roofs feet on either side under which
straight rows of large lanterns were hung.
These were lighted last night and the
preceding. Pine bougbs were out in
front of shops and residences and flags
in great numbers. There were certainly
three times as many out this morning to
see the Mikado. Soldiers were drawn up
in line as early as six o'clock in front of
my room, and all along they stood count.
ing an hours waiting as few minutes
for the love they bea" their Tenno-heika.
Policemen and gendarmes had difficulty
in keeping the crowds within bounds. If
horse had suddenly careered to one
side fifty might have been pushed off in
to the watery moat for the Emperor came
out of the old castle grounds, and the
people lined this moat in front of
my temporary abode. In order that
there should be no frightened horses the
coachman drove over the road to the sta
ton early, both yesterday morning and
this. Policemen and guards went along
telling the people to shut their doors
and to come outside or in. Nobody was
allowed either day to open blinds or win
dows to look from them. Everybody
who would see must come forth bare
headed by the roadside in front of build
ings, but no objection was made to the
household with whom L have been living

Coles Circus.

The Burlington Daily News of May 9th
last, had this to say of Coles circus,
which is to exhibit in Bennington
on June 18th. "a
"a clean circus and a first-cfass per-
formance," is what most people said who
attended Coles circus. They gave two
exhibitions on Saturday, large crowd
being in attendance on each occasion. At
night there was standing room only.
There is only one ring, so the audience
can see everything that is going on. The
bareback riding, the trapeze performers,
the tumblers, jumblers and acrob2ts are
all first-class features. The trained ami
mails are above those in most shows, and
did some marvellous feats.
No fallirs or gamblers follow the show,
and everything is just as advertised.
