MORE TROOPS

More troops are needed and the pres
ident issues a call for 5000 additional.
This number ought to be raised with
out delay. Greater New York could
alone supply so, 900. and big Chicago
%, 900. But they are distributed among
the states. North Cardinals share is
1,545, and they ought to be fOrth-com-
ing very soon, in spite of the big liar
at St. Louis, who edits The Republican
Daily Globe. 1t is said that not less than
60, 900 men are to be sent to Cuba. If
there are 200, 000, as reported, or even
$50, 900 Spaniards in Cuba, there ought
to be surely 125, 900 sent, for the total
insurgent force does not exceed 1900,
according to reports. Send enough to
clean up the Spanish troops, and do
not compel Americans to fight against
great odds. There is no generalship
or mercy in hat course Is the govern
ment, prepared, or will it be prepared
to equip properly the additional 75,-
600? 1t has not been able to equip ali
who answered to the first call with
modern arms.

It was quilt for purely harbor defence,

The New York Tribune says if you
will put her in Manila Bay she can
thrash the entire Spanish fleet.
Mr.. w. J. Bryan is reported to be
raising a regiment out in his state, OF
which he will be colonel. That is much
better and more patriotic than giving
a advice to North Carolina demo-
Gratis. Bryan volunteers as a private.
There is a large coast defence fleet
now being organized under Rear Adj
miral Erben. There is a large avail
able list of vessels to be drawn upon.
Some fifty or more additional ones will
be employed. Already sixty vessels
have been chartered, including mer-
chant, steam yachts and ocean-going
tngS.
Now it is reported by Lieutenant
Penny, an American serving in the
Cuban army, but now at Washington,
that Garcia has over IA, 900 men, but
5000 fully armed. That is more hope
full than the recent statement that
Gomez had but 5000. !.
