The state Legislature had a very
imperfect reading of the public pulse
when they put before the state the
propositions submitted on Tuesday.
The very counties for whose particu-
lar benefit the irrigation and railroad
amendment were proposed, were the
very ones in which they met with east
favor The valuation of the bonds
purchased with school funds was the
only proposition that any one seemed
10 desire. Even that is a little doubt
tul. II 1t is defeated it is because of
the company in which it was found.
what is needed is not amendments to
the constitution, but an amended con-
stltution, one that will take the place
Oh the present one and more truly re-
present the needs of the state as she
is today.

canadian John has something in the
neighborhood Of 100000 souls, counting
the French Canadians, who would
sooner fight against the Dominion than
night for it, and yet he has the gan TO
tnlhk that he might invade this coun-
cry with Its 100000 of united pat
rlots' John would never effect a land
ing on foot of American soil that he
could hold "a hours. He is the braggart
OF the nineteenth century and a thorn
IN the paw Of the British Lion. He
would not be only that the shadow of
the great American nation falls on him
across the border. His proximity TO
this country has mde him of conse-
quence to Great Britain. Without that
ne would have fallen into Groveric
desuetude long ago.

The orders have come to Weyler
from Spain to push the war with Cuba
to conclusion. Despite the heat and
the fever and the sickness and the wet
weather it is thought that the cam
paign can be closed out within a few
months by the sacrificing of 10000
troops in battle. The non combatants
are to be shut up in the towns, those
OF them who are found outside
without passes to be shot and the in
surgents are to be pushed into the cor
ner and penned there and slaughtered.
1t is bloody and barbarous program,
but 1t Is like Weyler to institute 1t. 1t
will not succeed. The insurgents will
fight no more than they are inclined
to and will turn upon Weyler at every
opportunity and cut him off in de-
tachments. The Cubans are better
fixed to fight on a larger scale and in
a more open field than at any time
since the revolt became a real war for
independence.

The Atlantic seaboard has been hav-

this midsummer season and the inter-

CONSIDERING COAST DErExsEs
Board Of Army Officers in Session at
the War Department.

DOnrd Of Army Officers in Session Mt
the War Department.
A board Of officers is now in session at
the War Department considering the ques-
ton Of the coast defenses, with special
reference to their garrisons. The board is
composed of Col. John 1. Rodgers, 9th Ar
tillery; Lieut.. Col. H. c. Hasbrouck, 4th
Artillery, and Capt. C. P. Miller of the
quartermaster's department. Col Rodgers
is in command of Fort Hamilton, New
York, ard Col. Hasbrouck Is on duty at
Fort Monroe.
Under its Instructions, the board will
CT mpile a sch .uule of the various batteries
at each port, and point out the number
and position of the troops required for
them, either as earetakerS or as gunners.
1t will also indicate what additional sites
for batteries should be procured, as we'll
Questions relating to drainage, water sup
ply, wharves and communication by wa
ter between detached batteries will also be
considered. One of the most important
questions to be considered by the board,
however, Is in relation to the rediStribu-
ton of the present artillery force in con-
nection with the new system of coast de-
fenses, and what increase, IL any, is made
eeessary by their establishment. The re-
port of the board will undoubtedly be made
the basis of representations to Congress
in the forthcoming annual report of the
Secretary of War for an increase Of the
artillery arm of the army sufficient to
meet the new condition of things due to
the recent establishment of modern de-
fenses supplied with heavy guns and NOR
tars. In addition to the trained gunners
needed to operate these gums, 1t will be
necessary to provide a force of caretakers
to look after the batteries in times of
peace to see that they do not deteriorate.
