SALVATION ARMY OPENS.
The Bass Drum and the Tambourine are
Again Heard on the Streets.

The Bass Drum and the Tambourine are
Again Heard on the Streets.
1t has been some years since the Sal
walton Army made its departure from
Mitchell and under such circumstances
that it was presumed that the army
was thoroughly discouraged to main
tain its barracks in the City, but with
wonderful fortitude the army again
returns to Mitchell and under more
favorable circumstances, for it is warm
ly received aud endorsed by the clergy
and Christian people of Mitchell. En-
sign and Mrs. Jewell have been in the
city for several days making arrange
ments to establish the army on solid
footing and to secure place for hold
ing the meetings. The first meeting
was held Friday evening atCbampeny's
opera house, where the army will con-
gregate for the next month after which
time permanent place of meeting will
be decided upon. Previous to the
opening of the meeting Ensign and
Mrs. Jewell, as is the usual custom of
the army, paraded the streets with a
bass drum and ambourine, singing and
urging the people to attend their meet
ing and by the time they had made the
circuit of Main street q large crowd had
gathered at the opera house. On the
stage seated with Ensign and Mrs.
Jewell were Rev. Mr.. Stevens, Rev.
Mr.. Peck, Rev. Mr.. Burleigh, Rev.
Mr.. Donahue and Rev. Mr., Harpel.
Rev. Stevens made the opening address
by stating why the Salvation Army
was here, what it proposed to do and
the aims and am mbitions of the sup
porters. He strongly commended the
army as an army of earnest laborers
and urged the Christian people and all,
in fact, to give the army moral sup
port if not financial support. He be-
lieved firmly in the Salvation Army,
considered it a strong and honest reli-
gious institution and anything of that
character always had his sympathy and
assistance. Encouraging remarks of q
similar nature were made by the other
pastors who were on the platform.
Ensign Jewell delivered a characteristic
address and his remarks were listened
to with close atten tiou and the earnest
ness with which he talked impressed
the audience that his endeavors were
honest and sincere to assist people in
leading a better life. The meeting
was success and the order maintained
was good. Usually at Salvation Army
meetings the young people congregate
to enjoy themselves and have some fun,
but any attempt to disturb the meeting
in this manner will not be tolerated by
the people in charge Of the meetings.
Ensign Jewell stated that the meet
ings would be held every night during
the next thirty days. Three additional
members arrived from Sioux Falls
Saturday who will have charge of the
meetings in the future.
The Salvation Army will hold SER
vices Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and
also Sunday evening. The people are
invited to attend.

Since 1891 the cost OF maintaining the
military establishment Of the govern
rnent has amounted to the huge sum OF
$3.50. 5o5. 59l.17, while the cost OF NAM
tainng the naval establishment mas
amounted 10 only Sl9i,5sl bSO.5j, OF just
a little more than one hat.
There are many who contend that the
government IS reckless in its appropria-
tons TO the military establishments, ana
that il actually pays out more in proper
ton TO the size of its army than any
other nation on the globe. A writer IN
the New York Sun gives NUMBER OF
interesting citations on TINS point iroIi
which q few are extracted; Inc huhie,i-
cal strength of our military establish
mont according to the writer, consists
of 900 officers and 5000 men; anu
the cost OF maintaining this equipment
for the current year, as above SHOWN 10
s5s173 $3.50. AS expensive as the luxury
of keeping up such small force 49,
I'm itself considered ii Is all the more
burdensome and extravagant in COMPARE
son with what European countries pay
At a cost of only S7i.72l 600 for the year
ending March 81, $3.50, Great Britain
maintained a regular army, numbering
7 4os officers and 1881 men, what
vast difference in the cost OF maintaining
the two armies. Great Britains estao-
lishment Is almost six times as large as
orr own. and yet it costs only trhhe
more.
Still another fact which the writer
points out is that a large detachment Vi
the British army was engaged IN active
operations in Africa and elsewhere durihs
the year while the sosdiers OF the unlteu
States were quietly lying in the various
forts and barracks throughout the Union.

of our army is much larger than that
of Great Britain, and that. while he does
not recommend reduction OF salaries,
ne doe, take occasion to say that nuine-
rous expenditures are made by our gov
eminent which would not be tolerated
for n moment by British taxpayers.
Without making any complaint against
our army, which is, no doubt, equal III
every respect save size to that or Great
Britain, il seems that the writer's con-
clusion Is a Just one-viz; that our mill
tary establishment should either be IN
creased to make it commensurate with
its cost. or else the cost should be reduced
TO make il commensurate with its SIZE
But what of other European countries!
The German imperial army for loso-sO
numbered s2,6lS officers ana 5o2.u6 men,
together with 81 $50 horses. The military
establishment for that year cost Sll2,5So,-
ass. In other words, for just twice the
expense incurred by this government
Germany supported force OF men over
twenty times the size OF our army
France maintains a force even larger than
Germany's. The French military estaD-
lishment. including 10000 men and OIL
GERS. cost the republic SlS023iOOo for the
year ending March 81, 1896. which sum IN
cluded the expenses Of active campaigns
in Madagascar and India.

What does 1t cost yearly to keep up
the military and naval establishments
OF the government?
In response to this question, 1t is best
TO cite the figures OF the past Few years,
beginning with the appropriation made
by Congress IN 1891. These figures dis
close a lack OF uniformity. not only in
the appropriations meted out to each es-
Enlistment, but also in the favor which
one establishment enjoys over the ether.
The following is the record for the past
seven years. including the current ono,
which ends June %, 1887:
