TRADES unions in England are OPP
posing strenuously the introduction of
American automatic machinery into
the iron and steel trades. The exper-
fence In the past is that labor saving
machinery will come into use inevita-
bly, sooner or later, and it is altogether
useless to oppose the innovation. OF
course the temporary result is to dis
place many unskilled lsborers, but the
ultimate result, il signs count for any
thing, will be the gradual but certain
uplifting Of the intellectual standard
Of the laborer, by natural process of
selection. When trades unions come
TO be used for obstructing progress in
stead Of aiding 1t, then they become
positively harmful in the industrial
scheme.

WITH the likelihood of surplus
revenue presenting itself, congress will
have an opportunity such as has sell
dom been offered to change and equal
lie the whole national revenue system
so as to make IL nearly ideal. We be-
lieve that the protection feature in the
tariff will undoubtedly, and rightly, be
retained for many years to come.
There Is growing disposition among
the people to adopt the protective prin-
ciple as national policy, irrespective
OF party. This tendency is notably be-
coming more prominent in the south
and on the west coast. In fact, as the
different sections OF the country
emerge from their comparative isola-
ton, due to their lack of diversified in-
du stries, they naturally lean to-
ward this great American principle
rs the one Offering the greatest meas
ure Of good TO the greatest number.
We believe also that the stamp taxes
will be retained for n long time. The
stamp tax is one of the most equitable
methods of taxation that have ever
been devised, and during the war the
imposition of this tax does not seem to
have worked great Inconvenience or
hardship to the people. If the stamp
tax is equitsbly imposed and collected,
1t lie the least Objectionable of direct
taxes. And as q general proposition,
direct taxes are the fairest. But they
are also the less popular, because the
man who pays knows exactly what and
how he pays. This unpopularity is
one Of the freaks of human nature, but
It has shaped tax Legislation for CEN
turtles.

Army Reorganization.

Secretary Alger has given out the
following statement embracing the
ganization: 1.-THE army will be reor-
ganized by brigades, divisions and
corps. Such portions as are needed will
be stationed in Porto Rico, Cuba,
the Philippines and elsewhere,
and the others will be put
in camps. In these camps sanitary
conditions will be enforced and the
men composing this army will be treat
ed as soldiers. Every precaution for
the health of the men will be taken
and officers commanding regiments
They are the ones who are responsible.
Many of them have had in
structions, but have disregarded them.
Now, while they are in the service they
must do this work or some one must
take their places. An army ration is
ample for the men. No outside food is
to be sent to them. The army ration
or Today de. is Of the healthy diet ha:
been caused by sensational newspapers.
What the American people want is to
brace their men up and let them know
that they are soldiers, and are to do
q soldiers duty, and let them brace
themselves and don't let the people
think they have sent lot of boys
away"
There is little doubt that an effort
will be made at the short session OF
! congress to increse the regular army
establishment to 100, 900 men.
Concerning the muster out of volun-
teers, the following was given at the
war department a few days ago:
I'm response to the request of the
governors of some of the states for the
muster out of their entire volunteer
force the president replied in substance
as follows:
answering your telegraphic request
for the mastering out of your regi-
ments, I have already directed that
100, 600 of the volunteers shall be mus
tered out of the service. This, be-
cause in NY judgment, the number can
be spared. About 100, 900 will remain,
as the government requires in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, a
larger army than the military estab-
muster in, will be as nearly as possible
according to the population of the var
ious states. The suggestion to muster
out all of the volunteers from your
state can not therefore be entertained.
The Secretary of war has already
required of the governors of
the several states what regiments in
their judgment can. with the least in
convenience, remain in the service
Their advice will, so far as is consist
ent with the public interests, be COM

critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way OF getting sup

that a wagon train could use. My COM

CONFEDERATE DEAD.
An Effort Being Made to Locate the
 Cemeteries.

Atlanta, December 30.-The memorable sentiment regarding the nations confeder- ate dead expressed in President McKinleys now famous fraternizing speech before the Georgia legislature, has crystalized into an order to ascertain the location of all the confederate burying grounds in the south and this work has already begun. Georgia will be called on for list of these places. The adjutant-general of the state has re- ceived letter from Washington asking for information as to the location of confedel~ ate Cemeteries. This communication came to the state officials from General Marcus w. Wright, agent of the war records office. Assistant Adjutant-General Obear laid the matter before Governor Candler. There is no official record in this state of the num- Der or location of confederate cemeteries, but Governor Candler has directed that a circular letter be issued to all the county ordnaries in the state, requesting them to obtain the information in their respective counties and report to him. It is under stood that General Wright has addressed similar letters to the adjutant-generals of all the southern states

REPUBLIC WILL STAND FIRM

Colon, Colombia, December 30.-The local press. referring today to the report that the Italian second-class cruiser Fieramosca, un- der command of Ammiraglio De Brochetti, has been ordered to Colombian waters to demand satisfaction for alleged recent in- suits offered to the Italian naval officers, says that Colombia "shoud act with dig nity prudence and forbearance. so as to attract the attention of the nations of the world to the display of might against right"
 The insults" of which the Italian gov ernment is said to complain grew indirectly out of the Cerruti affair. Last summer when the Italian squadron went to Colom- bian waters to enforce President Cleve- lands award it made diversion into Vene- zuelan waters, and the Venezuelan govern ment conferred certain honors and decora- tions upon the officers of the squadron. Sev- eral Colombian deputies, upon whom Vene- zuela had bestowed the same decorations, returned them to Venezuela, stating that they considered it disgrace to wear decor ations which had been bestowed upon Ital- ians. The Italian government called upon the Colombian government to disavow the act of the deputies, but the Colombian ex- ecutive declined. It was announced feY nights ago from Rome that the warship would be sent to demand an explanation.
