SATURDAY EVENING. DEC. 3. 1888.

ACCORDING TO the RECOMMENDATION
ofthe chief of police of the District CT
Colum bia, large increase in the num-
Der of policemen is necessary
for the preservation of law and ordeF
in that district. a like increase is re-
ouired in all the cities of the country
but especially in those in which negroes
are congregated, even in this one. Be-
fore the war between the States the
negroes were the most quiet and order
" portion of the people in the South,
snd few constables in the day anu
ystchmen at night were amply sui
ficient for the protection OF life ahd
property, but it is sadly different now.
Freedom may be great thing to some
people. but that it has not improved
either the manners or the morals Of
the negroes is patent to al! old enough
10 be able to draw 8 comparison De-
tween the past and the present.

DURING the late political campaign
in New York in which the democratic
candidate for Governor put great stress
on State issues and greatest of all or
republican frauds 10 the expenditure
of nine million of canal money, the re-
publican candidate made little of such
matters and said national. and not State
affairs were the chief issues. he did
this though hs knew the contents q
the report of the commission that had
investigated the frauds referred to.
Now that the election is over, the State
engineer aud the Canal superintendent
have been indicted for the misappropr'
alton Of canal money. The case refer.
red to and that of Senator Quay prove
that in some things at least the heathe L
Ohinee is not peculiar.

THERE ISN'T single Republican
member of either branch of the Florida
legislature. The people of that State
long ago realized the truth Of Mr.. john
Wise's famous definition of Southern
republican, and have acted in accord
ance Herewith. All the other South
ern States are learning to do likewise,
aud the sooner they succeed, the better
it will be for all their people, black as
well as white. Southern republicans
got federal offices and nominate repub.
lican Presidents, though they don't
count in electing the latter; but they
do keep the South solid.

The REPORT of the Secretary OF war.
to be made to Congress next Mouday'
will recommend large increase in the
regular army, by reason, the Secretary
says, ofthe result of new conditions. YES
new conditions can always be impro'
vizsd for anything the administration
of republic may desire. An imperial
Government cannot be maintained with
out the aid of large standing army
nor one with foreign colonies without
q large navy, both of which will re-
ouire immense sums OF money for theil
support, which money must be raisec

THE MILITIA.

The plan for the reorganization of
the Virginia military will not be map.
ped out until after the meeting of Con-
grees. 1t is expected a national law
will be passed that will be designed to
aid and help the State volunteers. Vir-
giuia is in bad fix from military
standpoint. She gave nearly all her
uniforms, arms and tentage to the gov.
ernment, expecting to be paid therefor.
No compensation has been received
and it looks as if none will be allowed.
The board of survey has reported that
the articles in question are of no value.
They were practically all the State
troops had and were valued at about
SIS 900 by the Adjutant General.
There are at present in the State
service about half.doZen companies.
Allthe companies which did not volun
teer ara in the Virginia service, but
those which did volunteer are not.
1t is not though. probable that any
steps will be taken to revoke the com.
missions of officers who did not go OUT
with their companies.
