 These two cities have in the main a white population, and the opinion is confidently expressed that their lineage will assert itself by giving Captain John ston rousing majorities over the leader of the plebald host, who, for his own po- itical preferment would republicanize and negroize the state of Alabama.

The chances are, too, that Captain Good Wyn will want some more Congressional sugar after Captain Johnston snows him under next week.

Armies are Expensive.

The. United States army, limited by law
since June 1874, to $4,000 men, forms a
very modest land force when compared
with the prodigious armies of European
countries, yet its maintenance costs more
than $50, 900 600 a year, and the treasury
estimates for the next year will entail
larger appropriation for army purposes,
if adopted, than in any previous year
since 1870, when the Indian wars on the
frontier and the ARMY during the police
as we'll as military duty in the South, the
total expenses Of which were $57 900, GOO,
says the New York Sun. The United
States army of the present time consists
roughly Of $4,000 infantry, $500 cavalry
and 4,500 artillerymen and engineers, the
officers of each service being included.
The United States own and are put to no
expense for the rental Of the various forts,
barracks and encampments required for
military purposes. The pay Of the SOL
diers is not on the scale of extravaganza,
and Congress is rather more frugal than
liberal, as rule, with army appropria-
tions.
What will become of the $50, 900, 900 ask

900, 900 expended for army purposes last
year? A very little examination will

medical supplies, $4,000; cavalry and
artillery horses, Sl9O,00O; arsenals, $780,
600, and quartermasters' supplies, and
other miscellaneous expenses, $3,000,000.
For the maintenance Of military posts,
parks, hospitals and cemeteries, 81 900, 900
was required. The West Point Acade-
my for the training Of future officers cost
S500,00O. The transportation of troops is
put down at 50 100000, and the expenses
Of the war department in Washington at
100000. All these and many other items
besides bring up the expense in the
American army to more than $50 900, 900
in year for, as SAID, $4,000 soldiers, and
it requires no elaborate computation to
show how great is the burden of expense
abroad with the prodigious armed forces
which are maintained in European coun-
tries.
Russia has an army on peace footing
in excess of 100000 men. Germany and
France follow with 100000 each-there is
less than 5000 difference between them
Austria with 100000, Italy with 100000,
England with 100000, and Spain, exclu-
sive Of the army in Cuba, with 100000
troops. In fact, there is no country in
Europe making any pretense of having
an army that does not possess a larger
force on peace footing than the United
States. Even Kingdom so insignificant
as Portugal has standing army Of 80, 1000
men, and three small countries of Europe
Holland, Denmark and Belgium-have
each Of them more infantry sold iers than
the entire United States army, rank and
file. The maintenance of the Russian
army costs $l26,O0O,O 900 and the French
and German armies cost about ths same

Change the Name.

The following memorial by Camp 435
of Augusta has been sent out to the diff
ferent Camps, proposinga a change in the
name of the organization of Confederate
Veterans. In a private letter to Major
u. R. Brooks, Mr.. Salem butcher of
Augusta says that it is the hope of the
Augusta Camp that all Camps will act on
the matter before the next convention in
Nashville on May Z, s, 0, 1897. The
memorial reads:
Brethren: Camp 435, U. C. ", of Au-
gusta, Georgia, petitions you to change
the name of this organization from United
Confederate Veterans to the "Confederate
Survivors Association" so that hereafter
instead of U. c. ", it will be G. s. A.,
Camp No. l, Camp No. 2, and so on.
originally led to the adoption of the U.
CIV. At that time there was no general
organization, and as most of the local
societies were called Confederate Sur
vivors' Associations, the general organi-
Zation was termed United Confederate
Veterans to prevent confusion.
But the original reasons have now
ceased to exist. The local organizations
have now come into the general organi-
zatiop, and the general organization
should henceforth be known as the G.
S. A.
The L. C. ", while useful term to
meet temporary emergency, has no his
tory and no precious memories of the
past. 1t was never imprinted on the
Confederate soldiers belt-plste nor blazed
upon his button. If our dead comrades
were to come to life they would fail to
recognize our present insignia. They
would say: What does the U. c. V.
mean? We know it not.
But change the name to the c. S. A.
and the living and the dead alike can
greet it with fond, aGectionate saluta-
ton. 1t stands for Confederate Survivors,
Association. The word Association means
speaks gloriously for itself; the word
God who shielded our heads in the day
Of battle and has mercifully prolonged
our lives to the present hour.
G. S. A. stands also for the Confederate
States of America, and happy would this
people be if the wise restraints Of the
Confederate Constitution were Of force
now throughout the length and breadth
of the land.
c. S. A. stands, too, for another name
that shines like the planet Mars in i'm
perishable glory. At the sound of those
three letters there flashes upon the daz-
zled Imagination Of the world the dashing
cavalry, The steady cannoneers, the
dauntless infantry of tho Confederate
States Army.
Brothers in Arms! we are not long
here. For the time still left US, when we
meet to renew the recolections of the
days of our youth and glory, let US meet
under the beloved, the illustrious name
Of the G.. S. A.

Let us all Vote "Aye."

RICHMOND, VA, December 9.-Last
summer at the Confederate Veterans re-
union in Richmond a proposition to
change the name Of tho United Confeder-
ate Veterans to the Confederate Survi-
vors' Association, was submitted. 1t has
since been discussed in all parts of the
South and the change seems to meet with
considerable favor. The initials OF the
organization at present, U. G. ", are not
specially significant; fthey were changed
to &c. s. A." they would be full of signif-
icance to every man who wore the gray.
a vote on the proposition to change the
name will be taken at the reunion to be
held in Nashville next May.

Five Thousand Speakers.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, December 9-The re-
suit of a conference between William J.
Bryan, Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Gov
ernor Stone, of Missouri, and other prom
inent Democrats, which took place dur
in their recent hunting expedition in the
interior of Missouri, has been made
known by Walter j. Nrooman, of this
city, who returned yesterday from visit
to Washington, D. G.
When the distinguished party of hunt
ers disbanded it had been agreed to carry
on an aggressive campaign of silver agi-
tation for the next four years, and Mr..
Eroolnan has announced the programme.
The national bureau of volunteer speak
ers is organized with headquarters in
Washington. The purpose of the bureau
is to maintain speakers in every county
in the United States. The speakers must
pass an examination as to their fitness
and will be supplied with all the argu-
meDts and statistics obtainable. The field
workers will organize free silver clubs
and make monthly reports of progress
One of the incentives to active work is a
roll of honor. This will be made up Of
workers achieving the best results and
place on the roll will be the strongest
essential for preferment to successful
Democratic candidate for President in
1900. William ]. Bryan has been con-
suited in every step taken and has con-
sented to become custodian of the roll of
honor, in the following letter:
Lincoln, Neb., November %, lS96.-To
the National Bureau of Volunteer Speak
ers, Walter Vrooman, Chairman, st.
Louis-My Dear Sir: Yours of November
Is received. I note what you say in re-
gard to the plan of the national bureau of
volunteer speakers. shall be glad to
receive the honor roll of volunteer speak
ers, who, under the auspices of your bu-
reau, labor to cultivate an interest in po-
litical questions and increase the devotion
to our Government. You are quite COR
rect in saying that the honors of victory
must be shared by the soldiers as we'll as
by the commanders. In fact, it is much
easier for soldiers to select commanders
than it is for commanders to secure sol.
diers.
Your plan of keeping record Of the
work done by each in this great contest
enables honor to be given where honor is
most due. Yours very truly,
WILLIAM j. BRYAN.
1t is the intention OF the bureau to
have five thousand speakers in the field
within three months and to keep the en-
thusiasm going till election day in 1900.
