Rrutishness in the Army.

In ns annual report To the Pr sident in
1891 Secretary Proctor said:
It is the belief Of the war Department
that desertions largely are the result of
administrative inca pacity on the part OF
Officers. For proof of this the Depart
Inent points 10 ire great difference IN the
percentage of desertfons from different
posts. Men do not like 10 he spoken TO

the enforcement of real duties, is the
desideratum.
Again we feel impelled to can the at
tentian Of the military committees Of the
two Houses OF the Congress to the case
Of tie officer, Lowering, who has been
sentenced TO the awful punishment Of
perfunctory reprimand for tying an en-
listed man by the heels, dragging him
down a flight of stairs and across paved
roadway, so that his head was pounded
at every step. and kicking him and stab
bing him with sword.
The penalty OF reprimand for snch an
offense may appear appropriate and suf-
ficient L the Republican party and to

strike the mass of the American people
in the sGme light. The offender is SAFE
from the military authorities, aging been
whHewa she'd by his brother-officers, The
only way left to reach him is through
a 5oint resolution of the Congress mus
tering him cut of the service. There
should be no question about the certainty
OF such action on the part of our law
givers, and it cannot be taken too quic'1 =.
Mr.. Mckinley, an old and humane soldier
and frieId Of enlisted men, ought to recon-
mend it at once. Very likely he would, if
he Were not Just now the victim Of a
great personal affIiction. But the proper
authorities in the Congress should not wait
for him to speak. They may rest asslred
that he VIII indorse any movement looking

been very successful and profitable. The
army has taken to hunting for missing

men and women is so perfect, and their
influence SO wide and among such varied

for t. en- to execute such commissions on
very short notice. They have hunted DIP
runaway husbands and brolght them To
Justice, and made them pay for their a7-
sence. They have found Ionglost children

stripe, and some good people and foolish
people who have simply strayed off cut

Democratic Cancus.

Candor characterized the course adopted
by the Democratic caucus last night. It's
members invited Republicans to come out
into the open and fight. The minority
does not grcpe haltineIy and in the dark

as gocG politics. but it boldly places IL
self on record as opposed to certain legts-
lation and favorable to certain other legis-
lation.
It has notified the enemy and he knows

The voice Of Democracy naturally goes
out in sympathy to Cuban patriots who

things about the risks of bicycle riding,

daugl tel to understand that that young
woman would not always be content to

eminendy an amusement in which one
must know how TO go alone.
Queen Emma said that she did not
think it advisable for Wilhelmina to ride,
The little Queen said that the machine
was her own. Her mother said, = Yes,
but a Queen isn't" Then, possibly be-
cause she had had experience with her
daughter she took the matter to the
council of state, and asked these grave
and reverend gentlemen if they thought
it was dignified for a monarch to ride
the bicycle. Possibly they had had some
experience with tue feelings Of a mother
as exemplified by the Queen Regent,
for they decided, after mature deltbera-
ton, that Queen Wilhelmina had better
not ride. She quoted precedents, all in
vain. They said:
Among all the illustrious names which
your majesty has mentioned there is no
personality in whom is vested the welfare
of such countless subjects as here. We
must earnestly implore your majesty, how
ever small the danger may be which is in-
vOlved in bicycling, that your majesty VIII
be graciously pleased TO forego the same.
Then, hoving shown their tender care
for the Queens bones, they soothed her
feelings by allowing her TO be preseu5-
cd with n Shetland pony. Whether this
eonsolction present Will console depends
largely on the comparative fasolnations Of
bicycle and horse. 1t may be some pleas

An Indiana preacher-and this is not to

This text has its application, Of course,
but the application should be very care
fully made. It should not be expounded,
for instance, as meaning that if a man is
greedy he should eat with his knife, because
he can eat more in that way in a given
time. Neither should it necessarily be taken
10 mean that every man who eats more
than he Knows is good FOR him should 20

would stop his eating, to be sure, but it
would be bad policy. 1t would be much

a sermon on that subject is sorry charge

in despair, and only hoped to reach his peo-

illustrated his text by drawing a huge
cheese knife artistically across his throat.
1t gave some Of his audience quite shock.
