Gen. Miles's Annual Report.

The current report of Gen. MILES follows
his visit to several European armies, but
their military establishments are totally
different from our own. mt the latter re-
c%eives, in the present document, his undi-
vidcd attention.
The year he reviews has been one of pro-
found quiet, not a single Indian outbreak
disturbing the uniform peace. The con-
clusion of Gen. MILES that the detail Of
army officers as Indian agents is a wise
measure. will undoubtedly command the
assent Of Congress.
The point of interest for the army has, in
fact, been shifted from the Indian reserva-
tlons to Alaska, and Gen. MILES would es-
tablish no fewer than three military posts
there, besides sending military. exploring
parties through the Territory to examine
its resources. There may be great tempta-
lions to desert from these posts and parties,
but the maintenance of law and order and
the acquisition of more knowledge about
our great Arctic domain justify Gen.
MILEs's plans. If military t~elegraphs,
roads and bridges should be established
there, we should be doing for Alaska what
we have lone for other Territories.
Blu this wholly new necessity and the
increasing needs of coast defence make i'm
perative an increase of the army. Gen.
MILES returns to his old suggestion of fix.
ing a standard of authorized strength on
the basis of population, or of one enlisted
man, at most, to every l ZOO people, and OF
one, at least, to every 1000 people. The
advantage of this plan would be a routine
authorized expansion with every census
avoiding special efforts to arouse Con
gress to the need. The maximum, on
n basis of 10000, 900 people, would be
10000 enlisted men, and the minimum
$4,000. In 1886, as Gen. MILES says. the
army had $4,000 enlisted men, and this
number was afterward reduced successfully
to $4,000, 10000, and $4,000. But now
it is time to turn the other way, for ever
the new batteries we have found 1t neces
sary to establish require more men,. Hence
it might be well t. fix a systematic ratio
of military strength to population.
Be this as 1t may. tho Immediate need O

1t is not surprising to learn from the
Clereldnd Plain Dealer that the voice of the
Hon. HORACE LEoNIDAs CHAPMAN, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor Of Ohio, "is show
ing the effect of the hard strain which has
recently been nut upon It," Mr.. CHAPMAS's
voice will bear as much rs any other voice Of
the same weight, but the exercise which it has
had lately has been too much for it. Some
scorners of tho plutocratic candidate OF the

ing lifted his voice for the poor man." Conse-
q%uently Mr.. CHAPMAN has lifted his voice so
high and often that he can lift it no longer. The

but it is annoying to the voice-lifter. He likes
to lift his voice.

The Doubtful Elements.

The bets on the election reported from
Wall street indicate in their odds a cock
suredness which seems suspicious. In a cam
paign wherein there are so many uncertain
political quantities 1t Is hard to under
stand the reasoning on which wagers so
confident can be based.
Take, first, the Republican vote. Obvi-
ously it is sufficient to carry the election
easily under the present circumstance II
1t is united, and 1t may even lose a consid-
cradle percentage, yet be enough to elect
Gen. TRACY in this much mixed-up cam
paign. An examination Of the normal Re.
publican vote at many past elections, in
which the party was held together by ma
tional Issues, prove that it bears a relation
to the whole vote which is remarkably con-
slant, though with a general tendency to
increase proportionately. That normalper-
centage would give Gen. TRACY from no.
900 to 100, 900 votes in the present city
of New York on the present registration.
Vow far it will be reduced by the Low can
'dacy, and to what extent that loss may
made up from outside the lines of the
Iarty, can only be conjectured.
Gen. TRACY is unquestionabiy the candi-
date who Is best fitted for the Mayor
atty, and not less undoubtedly would his
election prove most advantageous to the
interests of New York. 1t would proclaim
to the world that New York remains stead
fast in its devotion to the sound political
principles which it sustained last year, and
no other result of the election would attest
that fact SO completely and emphatically.
The normal Tammany vote, when it rep,
resents the solid Democracy of the city, is
also calculable from the returns of many
past elections, and, being in the vast major.
ity, it is bound to carry the day under such
circumstances. If there were now a square
contest bel the united Democracy and
the Republicans, the Wall street odds on
VAN WICK would be justified. But, as
everybody in New York knows, the Dem.
ocrats are not united, and Tammany is
threatened with ruinous distraction from
two sources, the George and the Low candl,
dacies.
AS to the voting strength of Low, there
is nothing whatever on which to base an
estimate. 1t is all a mere matter of guess
has shown hat such outside and guerrilla
political movements are likely to make q
small show at the ballot boxes as compared
with the noise they make in the election
eering campaign. 1t seems TO be mani
fest, too, that such vote as Low gets vii
be drawn as largely from the Democrats al
from the Republicans, even II the majority
of it does not come from the Democracy. H'
