DISARMAMENT OF NATIONS.

The proposition Of the Car of Russia
to have Europe disarm is not likely to
have such an outcome as his sugges-
ton indicates his desire to be. Russia
of all nations under crowns it would
seem could least afford to disarm.
Germany will never consent to disband
her armies as long as the present Kali
ser holds the reins. He is, or thinks
he is, above all things a military man.
His greatest pride is in the arms of Ger
many. A single objector therefore
blocks the scheme of the Car to re-
turn many hundreds Of thousands Of
idle men to the walks of industry.
For, strictly considered, the soldier
being non-producer is an idle man. He
lives upon the industry of others. He
bers exceed the necessity for the care
of Notifications and ordnance stores of
a nation. Were the proposition made
to the United States to disarm in COM
mon with other nations, this country
could do so with the very best grace
possible and at least risk, for to re-
turn suddenly a vast body Of soldiers to
private life would involve risks of a
grave character This the Car is
conscious of, and hence his proposition
contemplates only gradual disarma-
ment
The peace establishment of the
Frannb rd PJCSionS
gates 1,S5O,0O0 men at the lowest, and
is steadily advancing to the two mill
lion figure. The peace force of Great
Britain is one million Of men, where
as our force in times Of peace is the
insignificant number Of 10000 men of
all branches Of the service except the
naval. What our possible war estab-
lishment is no one knows, but it would
certainly reach the million figure I'M
til all nations disarm and thus make
universal peace possible, this country
| must augment it's armed force. 1t is
now wholly inadequate on land and
sea to the needs of the nation in its
attrition with other States and the
protection Of our citizens abroad.
Total disarmament, however, of any
great nation will not be accomplished.
There always must be a considerable
land force to deal with savage tribes
until there are no more such. On the
sea there must always be a force suffi-
! Gent to man ships enough to fairly rep
resent us abroad. The Cars idea of
a disarmament or material reduction,
will in no wise affect us. We must en-
large our army, no matter what Europe
| does. In any case we must provide
for a larger and more efficient organ
| lied militia force, and better means for
mobilizing the citizen soldiery, and for
Quitting large forces in the shortest
possible time. Of that need the late war
| has assuredly convinced all the people.
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1898-09-11

1t speaks strongly of a splendid spirit
actuating the boys of the land. Out
of such material come the men who
give strength and honor to the nation.
money for such a purpose, and it is
questionable whether the Nation should
build a ship as is to be requested with
money thus gathered. But its re-
turn is task that may we'll be deemed
impossible. What to do with the ac-
cumulating fund therefore, may puz-
zle Congress. Perhaps, after all, while
the Government is able to pay for it's
own ships, as these patriotic boys are
part and parcel of the Government, the
best plan will be to carry out their
wishes, and when the necessary $4,000
600 is in hand, to order the vessel to be
constructed.
Such an order would not be without
precedent by any means. The people
Of Havana raised a considerable sum
in the midst of the war which was sent
to Spain to aid in the building of an
armored cruiser In France voluntary
patriotic contributions have more than
once been made to the Government.
and in Greece such a movement some
years ago. in the struggle for Grecian
independence, met with success.

I will not recount the painful
history, nor dwell upon the deplor-
able condition OF our local Democ-
racy. Tt is but difficult to speak of
this branch OF the party in the
language of polite correspondence.
Let It here suffice to say that our
local Democracy is under the do
minion of man who has been pub
Ecly charged with having openly
and notoriously purchased votes on
last election day. This charge has
been strongly supported by the
sworn and recorded testimony of
several citizens; yet, although this
crime against the elective fran
chise is a blow at the very heart
of our liberty, a crime more dread
full in it's consequences than murder
or open treason, no citizen has yet
manifested sufficient confidence in
the Democratic officers who are
charged with conducting public
prosecutions to even Ale a COM
plant against this alleged Of
