MILITARY DISCIPLINE.
Some Novel Propositions From One Who
Is Not a Soldier.


Is Not a Soldier.
If soldier or sailor is blackguard, |
the proper remedy is not for his officers to |
outhlackguard him by torturing him, but
simply to turn him out of the service. II
he desires nothing better, then his dis
missal is benefit both to himself and the
service. II he does not desire 1t, then he
will do his best to mend his ways so as to
be allowed to stay in it. If an officer is
blackguard, tyrant or an incompetent
nuisance the proper remedy is for the SOL
der to refuse to serve under him. Thls
means that the soldier should be as free to
leave the army as am to leave the stan
of this journal. To retain we'll conduct
ed soldier in the army against his will Is
to make a slave of man who has done
nothing to deserve 1t.
Some day, when we get the better OF
| our national cowardice, we shall give up
the system Of having our fighting done by
slaves and boldly make the soldier and
| sailor as free as the policeman. The lads
who want to leave the feet so badly that
they will strike their officers and face fog
Qing and Imprisonment for the sake OF the
dismissal will be provided with an honor
able means of retreat / look forward to
the time when the army will be reformed
by a powerful trades union of the rank and
file, which shall drive incompetent officers
out of the army as effectually as the cot
ton operatives Of Lancashire drive incom
potent employees out Of the trade.

We hear much these days OF n
tremendous deficit" under the Ding
ley tariff law. 1t is not surprising
at all that the receipts OF the govern
ment during the first four or five
months of the new tariff law should
not equal the expenditures, when it
is recalled that Immediately prior to
the passage of that act the importa-
lions were taxing the capacity OF the
ocean transports, in order to bring
the goods in before the Dingley law
took affect. Chairman Dingley says
it was estimated that the deficit for
the first six months would be fifty
millions owing to these importations,
but when this surplus OF goods is
worked off it will be found that the
Dingley bill will be all that is claimed
for it as a revenue producer, its
author now predicting a surplus OF
ten million for the next fiscal year.
