RETIRED OFFICERS AND WAR.

A correspondent of the New York
Journal writes concerning officers on
the retired list, saying:
Referring to the appointment Of
general officers of the volunteer army
and noting the names advanced in the
public press of men that served in the
federal and confederate armies during
the war, who, while they are brave and
experienced, have passed the age limit
which has been set by law for active
service in the armies of the United
States, I would suggest that it would
be no more than fair that if men of 81
years and over are to be selected, the
general officers on the retired list of the
regular army. including the names of
Schofeld, Howard, Wheaton and scores
OF others, should have the preference
over volunteer officers or veterans of a
like age. 1t also seems very apparent
to me that if these officers had been
incapacitated by age for active service
in time of peace. they are most GER
tainly united for active service in time
of war
The remarks are timely and sensible.
1t is an anomaly to retire men from
active service at 81 years of age and
then give. them important commands
when war breaks out. They feel no
doubt, that they should tender their
services more promptly than any one
else, and the country has for them a
regard and for their opinions defer
ence it does not feel for the younger
men of the service. 1t feels that their
years and experience entitle them to
special considera ton, that they have
wisdom and Judgment beyond others.
1t is true that they have experience;
and it is equally true that they live
in the past, as do most people when
they have passed three score years, and
they are very likely to look upon the
past as the ideal to which the present
should conform. If the experience of
the past goes for anything it teaches
this: That if the present war reaches
any considerable dimensions it will be
the young officers and not the aged
ones who VIII reap reputation and glory
from it. The civil war proved this, and
the civil war was no exception. There
have been notable exceptions to this
rule. Won Moltke was &c when the war
with Austria was fought, and past 20
when the Franco-Prussian war was
fought.
After all, young men for war. If
there is to be war. it is by them that
it should be carried on; and this rule
should apply to officers as well as to
men.

TRAMPs AND TIE WAR.

1t has been suggested that the war
presents a good opportunity to utilize
the tramps OF the country. 1t is not by
any means. 1t may be that many Of
the tramps of the country have vol
unteered, but it is hardly likely, for of
all things, next to soap and water that
tramp hates, is regularity and disci-
pine: and regularity and discipline are
Of the very essence of a soldiers life.
Tramps like a rowing. needless, aimless
life, one in which there is no restraint
and all is chance. Fancy any tramp
voluntarily taking up with any occu-
patton where he would have to get up
early in the morning and make his tent
clean and tidy, in which he would have
10 keep everything in apple-pie order.
But the present war does not afford
an opportunity for solving the tramp
question; the soldiers for ii are all VOL
unteers, and they walk up of their own
free will to serve their country. If
there were draft then the tramp
would be in clover, for men would be
wanting to hire substitutes; then the
tramp would have his opportunity. He
could hire out as a substitute, and af
ter he had been with his regiment
while, he could desert and become a
regular bounty jumper. The tramp
problem would not be solved, but the
tramp would have his opportunity.
The present war offers no solution for
the tramp problem. Take the volun
teers from Utah, for instance They
are men whose every thought and habit
are the very opposite of the thought
and habit of the tramp. They come
from the best families in the state, leav-
ing comfortable homes and steady en-
ployment 10 respond to the call of their
country. No doubt many are possessed
OF the spirit of adventure so inherent in |
all Americans. but they volunteer from
the highest motives of patriotism and |
are actuated by the sincerest love of |
country and the rights of mankind. All |
this is unknown to the tramp.

THE MoNTANA VOLUNTEERS.


It is astonishing that so per cent of
Montana volunteers were rejected by
the examining doctors. 1t would be
most interesting to know what the ply
steal defects were that caused 50 many
to be rejected.
The Montana volunteers were. no
doubt, much the same class Of men that
offered themselves in Utah and other
western states. The examinations there
could scarcely have been more rigid
than they were in this state, yet moth
ing like such a percentage was rejected
here. What is the cause of the rejection
OF sc many men in Montana?
With no desire to cast any reflection
on the medical examining boards be-
fore whom the Montana volunteers
were brought. 1t must be that men
were rejected on the most technical
grounds and not for any serious de-
fects. The men Of Montana are gener-
ally thought TO be robust. hardy set.
men Of iron constitutions. the men for
making ideal soldiers, who would en-
dure the hardships of campaigning
with the least inconvenience and in
Jury to health. No one can make a
western man believe that the men of
Montana are weaklings, physically or
otherwise. If the people of the Noun
tain state do not raise a roar" over
the matter, people in the inter-moun-
tain region win be somewhat surprised.
But Montana is entitled to feel very
proud OF her volunteers. Ten hundred
and twenty-five We're mustered into
the service of the United States this
week. That fact should make every
man. woman and child in Montana feel
prouder than ever OF their state and
its men.

WHAT WILL CUBAN AID BEp

Just what aid the American soldiers.
when they arrive in Cuba, will get from
the patriots. IS problematical. 1t is the
general impression that at least $4,000
Cubans will join with the American
soldiers. Not until the soldiers have ar
rived in the island can it be known
what aid, in numbers, will be given
them. AS in all such cases the estimate
is probably high. Fifty thousand Gu
bans joining the American soldiers
would be an immense number.
When the rebellion started three
years ago, the population was esti-
mated at 1,600, 600. Since that time, it
is generally agreed, 100000 have per-
ished through war, disease and famine.
This would leave 100000 If two
thirds are adherents of the party of
Independence that would be 100000. OF
that number three-fourths would be
women and children, leaving 100000
men; all these figures are maximum
rather than minimum. If the Cubans
furnish $4,000 men to fight the Span
iards it win be truly surprising.
When the invasion of Cuba shall be
undertaken. enough troops. should be
sert to insure the complete overthrow
OF Spanish authority; too much reli-
ance should not be placed on Cuban
aid for it is an unknown quantity, and
dependence upon such a quantity is
unwise. That the Cubans viii render
much and valuable aid is sure, but the
amount is uncertain. They will be
fighting for freedom and their country,
and their actions will correspond to the
justice of their cause; and if they do
not render as much aid as it has ger
orally been thought they would, it will
only be because they are INA hia To

Cassidy AND WALKER KILLED


1t is pleasure to be able to record
the fact that the notorious outlaws,
Butch Cassidy and Joe Walker, have
been killed. and that other members of
the Robbers Roost gang have been
captured. To know that Cassidy and
Walker are dead is much better than
to know that they had been captured
and would be tried A capture would
have meant a big expense to the state
and long trial with an unknown re-
suit They were desperadoes whose
evil deeds are many, but the long ac-
count is now closed and discharged.
They were men of the most desperate
character and it is a matter of eongrat-
ulation that they are dead and can
work no more harm TO the people of
this or any other state.
Those who went after them engaged
in 2 perilous business. and they deserve
high praise for having done such good
work in taking the gang, or at least a
portion of them Their capture is I'M
doubleday due to the reward offered by
the state for them, and never were
state funds better invested; the return
has been quick and the profit large.
This good naws IS the fruit Of the
meeting of Governor Wells. Governor
Adams and Governor Richards. we
hope Governor Wells will call another
such meeting. that the rest of the Rob
hers Roost and other border gangs
may be annihilated or captured.

A correspondent asks: What is the
number of miles contained in degree
of latitude or longitude" The number
varies. A degree of latitude is S.702
statute miles at the equator and 69.396
at the poles. The length of a degree
of longitude ranges from zero at the
poles to 69.16 statute miles at the
equator. A degree of longitude is the
length of an arc of the section of the
figure of the sea level by a plane par
allel to the equator, the difference of
longitude between the eXtremities of
the arc being one degree" according
to the Century Dictionary.
