In Judging Of the Turkish army "a an in.

Events proved this to be hypercriti-

were the absence OF transports and depots
of supplies the breaking up of the army
into three separate commands under OsMAN

The New Artillery Bill.

Gen. HAwLEY has endeavored to meet
the objection arising from the cost Of
enacting the entire Line Organization bill
by dividing it into two parts, and Offering
the artillery portion now, while rescrving
the infantry increase for another session.
His view is understood to be that this is
by no means an abandonment Of the three.
battalion infantry feature, n that 1t may
be even easier to secure the latter at the
next session, as the artillery part Of the
measure would then be accomplished n
out Of the way, leaving the cost Of the re-
mainder so much the less.
The argument for adding the two artillery
regiments first Is the pressing need Of Sc.
curing more artillerymen to take care of
the guns which will be mounted during the
present year. In Gen. MILEs's testimony on
the subject he said that this could be
accomplished with an addition Of 1910
men and 81 officers. That would be
much the smaller part Of the increase
called for by the entire infantry and ar.
tillery bill. 30 that Congress might consent
to this portion Of the measure now. A mis-
print in the bill, using the word "army"
instead Of arm" in the provision for pro-
motion, has been corrected.
The chief objection, we believe, to the
pending bill is the fear that the degree of
relief obtained by 1t might be used in the
next Congress as an argument against doing
anything further, which would leave the
infantry in the lurch. OF course that is not
Gen. HAwLEY's purpose, or his view Of
what is likely to happen. His ardent nd.
vocacy, for many years., Of the three.bat.
TALON organization for the infantry is suf.
fcient proof that his idea now is simply that
half a loaf il better than none, and that the
other half may be all the more easily OBJ
tanned next year from this division Of the
demands. Whether the Military Commit
tee Of the House will take this view re.
mains to be seen; but II seems to be purely a
question Of good judgment, to be decided
upon by friends Of the army who are sin.
cerely in accord as to the main ends sought.

Tho Armor-Plate Problem.

The Senate Naval Committee has followed
the House in accepting Secretary HER
BERT's estimate Of $IOO a ton as the maxi
mum which should he paid for the armor
of the new battle ships Illinois, Alabama,
and Wisconsin. 1t has even gone n step
further in carrying out the Secretary's sug-
gestion, by providing an appropriation for
building Government armor.making works,
should the bids from contractors exceed the
amount hus fixed.
There Is now pending in the House n bill
authorizing the Navy Department to con.
tract for armor plate during a period OF
twenty years at n sum not exceeding $2iOa
ton. This bill Is understood TO be based OF
an offer Of the Illinois Steel Company, the
stipulation as to twenty years being intro
duced in order to justify this company In
going to the expense of erecting an armor.
making plant. Senator CHANDLER has
urged. we believe, that $500 a ton would
furnish an adequate allowance of profit for
contractors.
The House, however, has wisely declined
to accept any such propositions in face Of
the calculations Of naval experts, who have
given the question very careful study. As
the prices hitherto paid have been 1868 per
ton, and as the S4O0 proposed would in
clude the cost Of the nickel, hitherto sup
piled by the Government ut it's own ex-
pensc, this last was felt by the Secretary to
be an entirely ample reduction. In his
opinion the Government should deal lib
orally with those who have risked going
into this enterprise at n large outlay.
The Secretary finds that the actual cost Of
the labor and material in a ton Of double.
forged nickel-stcel Harveyized armor, in
Guiding allowances for losses in manufac.
ture, is $l97.7s. This, he says, comprises
every element Of cost in it's manufacture
save and except only the maintenance Of
the plant" He also finds that both the
Bethlehem and Carnegie plants have been
paid for in full out Of the profits, although
they cost much more than similar plants
could be built for now. Yet it is clear
hat they are entitled TO an allowance
for maintenance, and therefore he makes
one on what he considers the present value Of
the plants, exclusive Of the land, and thus
he reaches $3.50 per ton "a the cost. To this
he adds so per cent. profit as fair, and so
reaches 1915 as the proper price. Then he
adds $50 per ton for the nickel. which he
would have contractors furnish hereafter,
making 1895, and makes the final figures
$500 as a round sum.
If this could be accepted, the Government
would save 81 800, 900 on the Illinois, Ala.
bama, and Wisconsin, which is about the
estimated cost OF a Government armor plant,
exclusive Of the land. At present the con,
tractors argue strongly against so great a
reduction Of price, and it is for this reason
that the Senate has put in the provision for
establishing a Government plant. II Is
earnestly to be hoped, however, that a way
will be found to continue the manufacture
by private works, which has given us such
splendid results.

Congress and the Forests.

In the hurry Of completing the Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill the Senate unfor.
tunately adopted on Sunday night an
amendment "opening to settlement the
lands (some twenty.one million acres) set
apart a. a forest reservation by Executive
proclamation Of Feb. 90"
This reservation was proclaimed by Presi.
dent CLEVELAND on the recommendation
OF n singularly competent committee.
II It. should be nullifcd, II should
only be done after an amount OF delib-
Grafton on the part Of Congress which
Ia impossible in the moments just before
adjournment. No harm Is don't by per-
hitting this tract OF mountain forests to
lie reserved until such elaboration can
be given to the proposition to open 1t to
settlement again. According to the recon-.
mendation of the committee, arabic lands
and mining lands are to be excepted
from it's provisions. Its main purpose is to
protect the reservoirs from which many Of
our great rivers issue, and thereby to keep
intact the sources of the great systems Of
irrigation, which in the future may make
Western deserts grow green and fruitful.
1t Ia to be hoped that this amendment
will be stricken out before the Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill finally passes both houses
of Congress.

trict. The localities In which these small workshops
were most numerous were the lock making tow ms and
villages around wolverhampton and the nai.making
centres around Dudley. Here. with the PRIMITIVE
appliances OF q hearth, an anvil, and . wise bench.
men and women and even children have for genera.
tions struggled to compete with the large and well.
equipped factories OF the district. The struggle has
always been q hard and painful one. and now IL IL fast
becoming hopeless. The school attendance ofncer
drives the children from the visc or the bellows to tho
Board school. and the labor saving appliances intro
duced into the factories have moro than outwcighcd
the cheap muscular toll. which these poor workers in
their little shops have been content to sell for tho
mercst pittancc.
To the domicriary toilers themselves, pecuniartly and
conditions to artisanship in a well. governed factory
must hc for the better. while TO the hardwa are indus

ductive forces OF tho district which this change is
bringing about, will prove tho most effective weapon
In meeting tho competition Of American and Euro

great mechanical or intellectual advance In tho
methods OF production. No such advance was
ever effected without being accompanied by dis
