= Under the voluntary system. II
u may not be such an easy matter
for the United States to raise
and maintain a standing army of 100. 900
men. In time OF wal there are hun
dreds of thousands OF young men who
are willing to shoulder a musket and
engage in active service against a for
eign enemy. but there are scant thou
sands who are willing TO endure the dull
routine Of garrison duty and the tyran-
ny of some OF the officers who abuse
their authority. The pay is small and
the opportunities for advancement
scarce. American young men are not
80 phlegmatic as their English cousins,
and military service In time OF peace
strikes most of them as a sort of prison
existence. More than that. the exposure
Of the military mismanagement during
the late war tends to rob army life OF
what few fascinations II has. If. as
now seems altogether likely. this coun-
try is going to enter upon an extended
military career. the attractions of the

some way. and the pay Of the soldier
increased.

Z T looks like an odd condition of af-
fairs in Illinois when the railroad
commissioners OF that state petition
Tor power to prevent the building of
any railroads which, in their opinion.
are unnecessary. Illinois. IL seems, has
a greater mileage OF railroads than any
other state In the union. and the COM
missioners say the land Is so thorough
ly gridironed that the construction Of
more roads Is likely to be an evil rather
than a benefit. They request the pas
age of laws placing entirely in the
hands Of the commission discretionary
power to pass upon the ACCESSIBILITY Of
the construction Of any new road,
thereby preventing the Spectator from
playing upon the credulity OF the pub
lie by placing upon the market bonds
issued for the construction Of a rail-
road which can never pay its operating
expenses" Up to this time the people
of most of the states have regretted
that they could not get more railroads
built. but in England and some of the
other European countries there is a
struggle going on all the time to pre-
vent the building of more railroads
han are deemed necessary. The I'LL
nois suggestion Is a sign that that state
is approaching the same condition.

RascaiIy "Green Goods" Buyer,

From the Washington Post.
81 never cheated an honest man'-so
says a notorious "green goods dealer
who recently finished a term In the peni-
tertiary. We see no reason to doubt the
truth OF this statement. The man who
offers counterfeit money for sale does not
expect a rush of honest customers.
Whether he be a dealer in bogus currency
or a mere pretender. arranging to ex-
change blank paper for lawful currency,
his customers know that he Is a rascal
and they believe that he is going TO sell
them counterfeit money. Their object Is
to enrich themselves by committing a
felony.
