TIE Assistant Attorney General OF the
United States has rendered an opinion
in which he holds that it is the duty OF
the various boards OF education to
enforce the law passed by congress May
20. 1897. that makes the study OF alcohol
ism, with reference to its effects upon
the human system, o compulsory branch
OF study not only in the public schools
OF the territories but in the various
Indian schools wherever located, and in
the naval military schools OF the United
States. Teachers also must pass salts

WHAT is to be done with the fusionists
in this congressional district two years
hence depends. The majority Of Robin
son over Norris this year was something
like LOO, or a reduction Of 5000 in round
numbers from the majority against the
republicans two years ago. Yet the
vote for the republican candidate in 1896
was about 5000 larger than the vote for
Robinson this year and nearly 5000 more
than was given to Norris November 8th.
If there is fusion again in 1900, which is
by no means certain, the fate of the party
in this district will depend on the men
who stayed at home this year. It will
then be only matter OF conjecture how
these stay athomes of 1888 will vote in
1900 The Tribune has confidence that
hundreds OF fusionists purposely remain
ed away this year in their first step
toward voting the republican ticket next
time.-Fremont Tribune.

WILL BE MEAN ENOUGH.

The number of men who are offering
themselves for enlistment in the army
and navy is no measure Of the host
that can be had when the time comes
to call for volunteers for the war, in
stead of enlistments binding men for
years after all possible fighting is ex-
pected to end. It is one thing to offer
to serve as long as any foreign foe shall
remain uncrushed and quite another
to enlist for a fixed period, regardless
of the probability that most Of the term
would be passed in peace, and the
chance that there may not he any fight
ing The fact that so many enlistments
are being made now is remarkable evil
dence of the readiness of the American
people to furnish any number Of men
that the greatest war could require. In
time of actual war the government
would be simply flooded with volun-
teers for service on land or sea.

able that the United States army uni
form will hereafter be blue in peace
and gray brown in war. 1t is proposed
to adopt the more subdued gray uni
form in lieu of the proverbial patriotic
blue. just as the navy color is changed
from white to sea green when occasion
requires It is claimed with reason that
blue renders the soldiers unnecessarily
conspicuous and excellent targets for
the enemy This objection is applica-
bic to soldiers individually and collec-
lively. 1t is conceded that the Union
army suffered by reason of the bright
and easy-of-detection uniforms worn
during the rebellion. It is also pro-
posed to change the material from the
wool texture to canvas. General Miles
has received number of gray brown
canvas uniforms which will be thor
oughly tried by soldiers to be put into
active field service at the first oppor-
tunity. Other advantages than color
possessed by the new uniforms are
Iightness and superior serviceableness
when campaigning. The troops of
Uncle Sam in uniforms other than the
time honored blue will be a strange
spectacle, but fortunately war does not
come often and blue will be worn more
than the gray brown.

ANOREE ADVlCES


The other morning the Associated
Press contained the announcement that
a returned whaler from the Arctic
circle, who had reached St. NichaeIs.
bore some word from the Andree's
North Pole balloon party. The general
opinion has been that Andree would
never be heard Of again. The Eagle
predicted the morning after he sailed
that that was the end of him. his com
panions and $50 600 airship. But it has
been predicted by more than one OBJ
server that Andree and his balloon
would probably be carried over the re-
cions about the North Pole and ulti-
anately landed at some point in the icy
and desolate regions Of British North
America far remote from even the out
posts Of civilization. Should the report
which comes from AIaskak OF sd

well founded-and the announcement %

that the head. at least, Of this unique

ALL RESPECT Us.

It is generally admitted that the Eu-
ropean powers which are trying to set
tie the Cuban question without war be-
tween the United States and Spain
have paid this country a great compli-
ment. They have confined their pres
sure to Spain and let the president and
his subordnates quite alone. This
means that Spain is looked upon as
neither too strong nor too proud to be
made to yield, while it is recognized
that the American republic can never
be dealt with in any such fashion. If
proof had been needed that the fore
most military and naval powers of the
world fully conceded the might and
spirit of the American people. the evil
dence would be furnished in abundance

THE Madrid public may show itself

converting the American legation in Mad

chants to leave Havana, on the ground
that they would not be safe here, and
that the Spaniards would commit all kinds

he would have been right in saying So"
The Madrid authorities have cabled

that concessions are projected in the

General Blanco has been ordered from
