State Taxes For 1897.

STATE taxes are high in Wisconsin
this year and democrats all over the
state are as happy over it as Cleye-
land is over his new boy. As mat
ter of fact. however, the tax this year
is largely to meet deficit caused bv
democratic iugglery in 1894, which
has been carried By various exped-
tents since. From statement OF
facts recently prepared by Secretary
Of State Casson and Treasurer Peter
son the situation IS clearly explained.
They say in part:
The people of Wisconsin are in fact

1895 and 1896 in case it should be
found necessary. No tax has been
levied for ordinary and current eNpen-
ses since that time. In 1885 tax
Of sl00.00 for the school for feeble
minded. and $4,000 for the normal
school was levied, in addition to the
permanent educational taxes auth
orized by law. In 1896 no tax what
ever was levied for anything but edu-
cational purposes, in other words, the
permanent leyies required BY law.
The increase in expenditures for the
care and maintenance of the chronic
insane. the appropriation for the in
termediate prison for youthful Offend
ers. for the building Of the state his
torical library, and for other appro-
priations, necessitated this year
levy for these purposes and for the
further purpose Of putting the general
fund upon solid footing. The in
creased cost OF the maintenance Of
the chronic insane can best be seer.

superintendent of the military academy
that the number of students at West Point
be increased by allowing each senator to

to appoint ten cadets at large each year.
Favorable comment is made upon the
work of the military colleges of the coun-
try. but it is suggested that the law be
amended so rs to authorize details OF army
officers only to such colleges as have at
least l50 pupils actually present
Attention IS called to the need of a proper
system of criminal Jurisdiction over milf
tary reservations and of a hall of records
for the storage of official papers. The es-
Innate for army transportation IS increased
by 100000 to provide means for moving
heavy ordnance. To provide for the new
posts needed on the seacoast an estimate Of

Until recently the hospital at Hot Springs
was open only 10 soldiers Of the regular

In this connection it may be proper
to say that, while the revenues Of this
state have in no way increased dur
ing the last decade, the expenditures
have annually shown an increase,
principally in the care and mainte-
nance of our charitable and penal in
stitutions, while the revenues derived
from railroad licenses for the ealen-
dar years 1895 and 1896 were 1891 :
S19.79 less than were received during
the calendar years 1898 and 1894.
Notwithstanding this decrease of rev.
enue, had not the previous admins
tration transferred the $742, $40 re-
ferred TO above, no necessity would
have this year existed for any more
than the ordinary permanent educa-
tional tax levy provided by law In
stead Of the people paying this
amount in 1894, it has been added to
their tax of this year.
In considering the tax for 1897, the
following, it seems to us, is a fair
statement:

An army of $500 men will satisfy Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, but standing force of

is the burden OF one OF the most strenu-
Gus of the recommendations of the majo
general commanding transmitted to the
president In the report of Secretary Alger.
To Gen. Niles general accommodation
that the army enlistment be Increased Sec
rotary Alger adds no word of approval,
but to the specific appeal for two additional
regiments Of artillery he gives an emphatic
second. Gen. Miles general recommends
ton touching the number OF enlisted men
is follows:
I'm my opinion II would be wise and ju-
dicious for congress to establish a stand
ard limiting the recruiting of the army
for all future time. unless the conditions OF
the country should be other than what
can now be anticipated. The nation Is de-
veloping In most unusual and extraordinary
proportions in wealth and population, and
as the army IS one OF the pillars of the re-
public II Is proper that II should grow as
the nation grows, commensurate with the
l therefore recommend that a standard be
fixed and authorized by which the strength
Of the army should be regulated in time
OF peace In proportion to the population
and wealth Of the nation, and that the
maximum OF enlisted men be limited to one
soldier to every 1000 population, and the
minimum of one soldier TO every 1000 popu-
lation, the number actually in service with
IN this limit TO be determined by the presi-
dent according to the necessities and re-
quirements of the government.
For Seacoast Defenses.
Seacoast defenses is a constantly recur-
ring subject of discussion in the report
OF the secretary and the communications of
heads of departments. Gen. Miles urges
that the general plan OF defense adopted
by the government be pursued steadily and
the secretary of war sounds the same note
more than once. The former recommends
the appropriation of $l5.31s, 500 for the sea-
coast work of the year under the engineer,
ordnance and quartermaster departments,
and his superior sanctions the recommended
ton.
Brig. Gen. John NJ. Wilson. chief Of en-
gineers, goes into details on the subjec.
of coast defenses. Since August IS 1890
congress has appropriated 1876. 1888 for the
construction of modern gun and mortar
batteries for coast defense. Up to the
present time there have been contracted
for "A Pinch guns, 50 ten-inch, SO efght-inch
