Spells System in the Army.

The time has come when, irrespective of
party, all patriotic citizens should protest
against the outrageous appointments
from civil life which the President is
making to important positions in the ar
my. The first batch of names was in
general good, and the country recognized
its high standard of fitness. But Mr.. Nc
Kinley seems to have exhausted his stock
of virtue. and, ever since, re has been abb
solutely the tool of the spokesman.
Of course, we do not mean to say that
sno good nominations whatever are being
made. This would take true genius, a
quality which the President does lot pos
sess. But we do insist that nine out of
ten OF the colonies and majors who are
being rocketed into general staff positions,
such as are filled by the flower Of expert
soldiery in every other army, are at once
q shame and a danger to the nation.
It is not merely tina the regular army
oaicers are being passed over. The skilled
National Guardsmen are faring no bet
ter. The places are going to men who
never drew a sword or donned a uniform
before in their lives, but who are now
eager for salaries and glory generally to
be obtained in the safety Of headquarters
at washington, or at the worst at Tampa
or Key West.
These ecanda1ous appointments are be
ing made at the dictation of Senators,
congressman and other politicians. It is
said that the demands Of about one-half
Of the members of the two Houses have
been satisfied so far. The principal reasen
for the second call for 10000 troops, which
is talked of, is to give he's other half "a
show. ], These appointments have no sug-
gestion of merit or fitness abou. them
They are made on mere personal or poll
tfca1 grounds. The washington CORE
spondent Of the Herald speaks Of them

Laggards in War.

Today. the war has existed exactly one
month and If it were not for Dewey's
gallant deed, it would be a month OF
shame for us. The inefheiency of our
army. we cannot help. 1t is part OF our
system. But we have an efficient naval
force and the failure of the Government
to use it effectively is un-American and
humiliating, as well as materially disas-
trous.
In the month, we lave lost all the ad-
vantage of the attacking position we
find ourselves, today. almost on the de-
fensfye. Our army is tied up because
Spain controls the seas. Our Meets are
afraid TO engage the Cuban Notifications
for fear they should be rendered unfit to
break the dominance of the situation ex-
ercised by the Spanish fleet. If we could
get a chance TO strike a blow, we might
indeed recover our lost advantage, but
II IS none too sure that the Spanish Ad-
mirai viii give US the opportunity. II
he does. he is a fool and deserves a
thrashing.s
And, when we do beat Cervera's squad
ron. we will still nave to undertake all
the enterprises that might have been car
ried out in the month that has gone
And they will then be harder han ever.
because the Notifications of Havana,
which we will have to batter down, are
much stronger now than they were, ana
are being increased and strengthened
every day.
IF Admiral Sampson had been given
free rein. he would have reduced the sea
defences of Havana in the first week OF
the war. and he might have forced a sur
render or an evacuation inside a week
We would lave had plenty of troops to
occupy the city in the 5000 available men
of our regular army.
That Admiral Dewey's success at Manila
caused the Spanish throne to totter is not
open TO doubt. What, then, would have
been the result of a similar blow struck
at Havana? And what would be left of
Spanish sovereignty in Cuba, had we only
struck the blows?
Our next objective point was, plainly,
Porto Rico. The reduction would have
been even easier thar that of the Cuban
capital. And when we had secured it, we
might have called the war ended, so far
as we were concerned
But what nave we done? We have won
nothing. We have sobered Spain and
given her breathing time. In place of in
sane defiance, we find her in a state of
grim resolve. She is certainly not awe
stricken. The war is now costing US
about $1,000, 900 a day, or it is on the verge
of reaching that figure, and we are farther
from the end of it, perhaps, than we were
the day it started.

FARMING MATTERS.
FRUIT PACKING.

Advantage of ExercisioE Care In This
branch of Farming.
There are few men even in fruit
growing section, that are capable of
properly asserting large orchard of
apples and placing them OF. the market
II one man could do all t:,e work 1t
would be different. but since one man
must manage several and all have not
the ability to manage help, tire result
Is disastrous to the majority of grow
ers, as they know little about the
question of asserting. Whs is the re.
suit OF all this? The market is over
wheimed with apples which cannot be
branded as good or bad. Buyers at
dlstant points who desire n carlC.,d Of
superior apples cannot send to the or
chard districts for they suspect that
they may get carelessly selected fruit,
unless they happen to know some or
cnaruist upon whom they can depend.
since they do not know anyone they
90 not send their orders and this pa
tr0nage is lost.
Know of two large apple grow crs,
neighbors the farms being divided on
ly by the highway. One of these men
assorts his apples with the greatest
care, rejecting ut least half of hs crop
as second class. selling that claas FOR
wnat 1t viii bring, while the otlcr
neighbor over the way is poor grad
er. putting many apples in as first.class
which do not belong there. A year ago
a Duyer bought these crops and paid
the same price for each. From that
purchased from the good grader the
buyer made a handsome profit. From
the fruit bought from the poor grader
he lost money. This year he has COIL
tracted the fruit of the man who grad
eu carefully, paying sixty-tive cents 4
Dox- lie did not buy the fruit of the
nelghbor who packed poorly.
Now does it pay to pack fruit prop
ery! My answer is yes, 1t pays. but
the man who carefully grades his ap-
pies should have the business ability
TO demand and secure price worthy
OF his grading. \ fruit grower can
learn much by going into the city mar
kets where fruits are sold, very early
In the morning. and looking over the
various offerings Of fruit and question
ing the men who are met with in the
market. both sellers and buyers, learp-
ing In regard to the most desirable va
rieties. the best methods of gathering,
sorting, packing and marketing. 1t is
Z great help to the fruit grower to have
nad business training, or practical bus
mess experience. The marketing OF
fruit, especially in seasons of plenty.
requires business ability. One trouble
with fruit growers is that they often
nave had no business training, are un-
familiar with business and therefore
are easily duped by swindlers. Such
men often suffer from lack OF good
business methods.-C. a. Green iu
