A GREAT MILITARY NEED.

The United States have no need for
a large standing army, though it will
be miracle if the close of the present
war with Spain does not result in a
demand in some quarters for such an
army. But the war is demonstrating
some things, things it is essential to
recognize.
Much stress is laid upon the fact that
there are in the country nearly 10000,
600 men liable to military duty. There
is that number of men, but they may
be termed. without the least disrespect,
nothing but undeveloped resources.
That is not ALL the country is not pre-
pared to develop its resources in this
respect. The development of the mill
tary resources of the nation, so far as
men alone are concerned, depends very
largely upon officers, just as the pro-
per development of mine depends
very largely upon an educated mining
engineer. No mine owner, company or
individual. would think of entrusting
the development of his property to a
man who was absolutely without ex-
foreman of a gang of men, much less
superintendent. Yet men with no mill
tary education or experience are placed
over men as officers and expected to
direct and lead them in the most mo-
mentous undertaking possible-that of
a struggle for life.
The country has plenty of first-class
material for making soldiers, but it
lacks educated officers to lead them.
For an army of 100000 it would require
II, 800 regimental officers. The country
has but one military academy, which
graduates. on an average, about fifty
cadets a year. That academy should
be graduating each year four times
that number 1t is not necessary to
have an army large enough to absorb
them all. AS at present many would
drift into civil occupation, but the gov
eminent would be able to utilize them
whenever occasion should arise. Even |
when there is an abundance of edu-
Gated officers to take men in charge to !
turn them into soldiers, it takes con-
siderable time to convert them into |
but where such instructors are |
acking, it takes very, very much more |
line and the result is not generally so |
by any means. In the fu-
ure the country should pay much more
attention to providing an adequate sup
,ly of trained officers than it has in
he past; it is one of the country's
,reatest needs

MUSIC.

What was he doing, the great God Pan,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Splashing and padding with hoofs of a
And breaking the golden lilies afioat
With the dragon-hy on the river?
He tore out reed. the great God Pan,
From the deep cool bed of the river,
The limpid water turbidly ran,
And the broken lilies a-dying lay,
And the dragon-fy had fed away.
Ere he brought it out of the river.
High on the shore sat the great God Pan,
While turbidly flowed the river,
And hacked and hewed as a great god
With his hard. bleak steel at the patient
reed.
Till there was not a sign of a leaf indeed
To prove it fresh from the river.
He cut it short, did the great God Pan,
(How tall it stood in the riverD
Then drew the pith like the heart of a
man,
Steadily from the outside ring.
Then notched the poor. dry, empty thing
In holes as he safe by the river.
This is the way" laughed the great God
Pan.
Laughed as he safe by the riverD
THE only way since gods began
To make sweet music they could succeed"
Then, dropping his moth to a hole in the
reed.
He blew in power by the river.
Sweet, sweet, sweet, Pan,
Piercing sweet by the riveri
Binding sweet, o great God Pani
The sun on the hill forgot to die,
And the lilies revived and the dragon-fy
Came back to dream on the river.
Yet half a beast is the great. God Pan.
To laugh. as he sits by the river,
Making a poet out of man,
The true gods sign for the cost and the
pain
For the reed that grows nevermore again
AS a reed with the reeds of the river.

HOW THE NEWS CAME.

People are much more interested in
lands than in how it comes; what they
want in the present case is ends and
not means, but the means are very i'm
portant and decidedly interesting. The
New York Times points out that the
news of the battle between the naval
forces of this country and Spain, at
Manila, was sent from that city in the
Philippine Islands by telegraph to Cabo
Bolinao, forty miles distant, and thence
by cable to Hong Kong From Hong
Kong it was sent to Saigon, in Siam,
and to Singapore and Madras. From
the latter place an overhead telegraph
leads to Bombay, and here the cable
is engaged to Alden, and then up the
Red sea to Suez, and finally through
the Mediterranean to Lisbon, which is
in direct Geographic connection with
Madrid. From Madrid it was trans
mitted to France, thence to England.
and after another stop or two it reached
the United States. Thus the news of
the great victory first Travelled away
from this country and traversed three
fourths of the circumference of the
earth before reaching the people of thu
United States.
How different this all is from what
it was in the days of Paul Jones and
Decatur Then it would have been
necessary to wait months before get
ting news of naval battle that took

DEWEY'S UNPRECEDENTED
VICTORY.

Commodore Dewey's victory at Manila
becomes more and more remarkable the
more it is studied The first news.
which came from Spanish sources.
showed it to have been complete in
every respect, but just what loss had
been sustained by our own fleet was
not known, could not be, in fact. EVERY
one felt that there must have been
more or less damage to Commodore
Dewey's ships. and that there must
have been considerable loss of life:
and hence news from him was awaited
with an anxiety that became more and
more intense as each day passed. Ru
mors came that he was inside Manila
harbor, but that he could not get ont
because the harbor was mined, and the
mines were still under the control of
the Spanish. 1t was surely a perilous
position to be in, and the absence of
news seemed to confirm the very worst
fears. But yesterday the long and anx-
iously awaited news came, and it was
much better than the most sanguine
had hoped for, had thought was pos
sible. Commodore Dewey sent word
that not man on the American ships
had been killed, that only six had been
injured. 1t seemed incredible. Not a
man killed and only six injured. The
world never witnessed anything like it
before, probably never will again.
The only thing in all history to com
pare, in holiness and briliiancy, with
Commodore Dewey's steaming into that
mined harbor Of Manila and under the
guns of her frowning forts, was the
charge of the light brigade at Bala- |
klava. That charge, the admiration of |
the world, was magnificent, but it was
not war. Dewey's entrance into Manila |
harbor was magnificent, and it was war. |
He lost not a man, yet ne inflicted a |
greater loss upon the Spaniards than |
the light brigade suffered. It seems |
impossible, yet it is a fact. Dewey's
victory at Manila will be grouped with
the most famous battles in history; the /
defense of the pass at Thermopylae; the
charge of the Old Guard at Waterloo:
the charge Of the light brigade at Bal
aklaya- And when will the glory of
Dewey and his men fade? Not until
the light of the stars fades away for
ever and the great globe itself shall
pass away.
