MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT ARMS.

Much has been said in criticism of the war
authorities because the volunteers have
been armed with Springfield breechloaders
instead of Krag-Jorgensen rifles Columns
of criticism have been written asserting
that our men are being armed with an in
ferior rifle. The critics do not specify the
advantage of the Krag-Jorgensen rifle ex-
cept to say that it is a modern magazine
gun while the other is not. Thus they give
is a weapon that can be fired more rapidly
than the Springfield. Against this it can be
said, upon the authority of officers of the
Ordnance Bureau, that, taking each arm
empty, twenty shots can be fired from the
Springfield breechloader in a little less time
than from the Krag-Jorgensen. If firing is
begun with the magazine of the Krag
Jorgensen filed, five shots can be fired in
less time than four from the Springfield.
Ono need not be an expert in arms to dis
cover at once that the magazine rifle is
quite complicated, requiring careful instruc-
ton on the part of the soldier to operate
while the Springfield is so simple that no
explanation is needed In the excitement or
haste Of firing the KragJorgensen there are
four or five pieces of mechanism which, if
not made to do their work, will prevent the
man handling the rifle from doing any exc
cution. In the hands of men who have been
made entirely familiar with every part of
the gun by long instruction and who possess
the GOODNESS of long discipline. the magazine
gun is very effective weapon, but it re-
quires days of careful instruction to give
most men a thorough acquaintance with it.
Put into the hands of a new regiment, it
would be necessary to have sergeants and
drillmasters taught by men who have used
the gun before the privates could be taught
to use it.
Once instructed, the men having the
Krag-Jorgensen gun would have some adj
vantage. 1t has a range of 1850 yards to
1.400 by the Springfield. 1t has a wonderful
penetrating power, and a loaded magazine
enables the soldier to fire five shots in an
instant With the limited instruction which
volunteers could be given in the use of the
magazine rifle, it can be seen by any one
who has the least knowledge of firearms
that the Springfield is far the better weapon
and that the army officers have determined
wisely in having the volunteers armed with
a light, simple and serviceable rifle which
can be loaded as fast as a man can handle
the cartridges.
If all the regiments had had this informa-
ton when they left the State they could
have been armed with the Springfield here,
of which there are 10000 stands in the In
dianapolis arsenal. Three of the regiments
left here practically unarmed because the
officers were led to expect that they would
be armed with the magazine rifles later on.
They have not been supplied with the weap-
ons, and probably most of the officers of
these regiments are now satisfied that the
Springfield is the better arm for their men.

altogether 10000. Probably this will be
enough to end the war, but the margin will
not be too great. In view of the experience
in our civil war, repeated now, of calling out
much too small force at the beginning,
that mistake should never be made again.
The moral effect of calling out 1000 men
at first would have been greater than that
of three successive calls aggregating that
number. and for effect on foreign powers it,
would have been better still to have called
out 100000. True. il would have cost a good
deal to mobilize and equip such a force. but
the United States can afford to pay good
deal once in thirty or forty years in adver-
Using its military resources. The mobliz-
ing of an army of 100000 men under a sim
gle call would have been fine object lesson
for foreign powers and worth to the country
all ii would have cost

General Shafter informs the War Depart
ment that he can take the town at any
time, but fighting is likely to be serious. If
the city is as well fortified by earthworks
as has been represented, it seems that
bloody fighting may be expected. If the
water supply of the city has been cut off,
as is reported, the fall of Santiago cannot
long be delayed. The capture of the city is
not of SO much Importance, but the cap
ture of Cervera's ships will be a disaster
equal to the fall of Havana That squadron
lest, Spain can do nothing to help it's army
in Cuba. 1t should end the war This, how
ever is after the event which is now at

Unless General Shafter should change the
plan indicated in his dispatch, most impor-
tant intelligence may be expected within
two or three days at the furthest.

A. C. HARRIs's PAPER.
Discusses QuaIiGc CA tiOns for the Bar
in Indiana.

in Indiana.
Addison c. Harris read a paper on the
subject of 1.-The Proposed Amendments" He
spoke as follows. in part:
Lord Brougham once exclaimed in the
British Parliament that the chief aim and
purpose of the English constitution was to
get twelve good men in the jury box. He
spoke in the preser ce of system of gov
eminent which had existed for centuries.
Under this system Parliament was sover-
eign. Neither the crown nor the courts
might question the integrity or constitution
atty of an act of Parlia n.ent. 1t was to the
jury therefore. that Englishmen often
looked to resist entertainments on the rights
More than once the English constitution
has been changed by the, verdict of jury;
and it may be done any time by Parliament.
Under our written constitutions this cannot
be done; and neither the Legislature, nor
courts nor jurieS can amend bad pro-
vision in a constitution. 1t can only be done
by the people.
conflict with a constitution is ultimately
vested in a Supreme Court; so that the peo-
pie of the entire country naturally regard
the Supreme Courts of the United States
and the States the protectors and defend
ers of the rights OF the citizen. Thus, the
American judiciary is exalted to place
never before held in the annals of any coun-
try: it sits in the highest seats and holds
primacy throughout the Nation 1T IS APP
parent that men given us arnpeId so
their duties. as no power can restrain or
modify their acts; while the whole power
of the State or Nation is pledged to enforce
obedience TO their will. The laws. therefore,
should make the best and every provision
known from experience, TO have the best
men upon the bench. 1t goes without say
ing that man must be weh acquainted
with the laws of his country. and familiar
with their administration, in order TO fit him
for judicial duties.
Among English-speaking people. the bar
has always been a part of the court--as
essential 10 the proper administration of the
law as the bench itself. In England. for
many centuries. no one was admitted to the

Timid and stay-at-home people who think
that the-mission of the United States will
be best fulfilled by cultivating a policy of
isolation should suggest some means of put
ting stop to the growth of our foreign
commerce in the East. If the country could
be fenced in and its trade restricted to
barter and exchange among its own people,
system of swapping jack-knives on
large scale, we might get along very easily
without a navy a merchant marine or coal
ing stations but as long our foreign
trade persists in extending and increasing in
all directions it really does seem as if we
ought to preserve and protect it. We ought
not to turn our backs on trade that invites
us and run away from prosperity that pur-
sues us.
The rapid growth of our commerce in the
East, especially with China and Japan,
shows how large our interests there are be-
coming and what great possibilities they
have of future growth. Official statistics
show that, from 1896 to 1897, the value of
our exports TO China increased from Sc, 921,-
933 to 81, 924 433, and our exports to Japan
from $7,6S9,6S5 to $13, 255, 47S. Our exports to
the British Chinese port of Hong Kong in
creased in the same time from 81, 691 POI to
$6,060,Oo9. 1t is doubtful if the history of the
commerce of any country shows as rapid a
growth as this. 1t could not be expected
watchful eyes of British consuls in the
East. The subject is discussed at some
length in a recent number of the British d.
plomatic and consular reports received by
the bureau of statistics in Washington. A
report from the assistant Japanese secre-
tary Of the British legation at Hong Kong
shows that Great Britain's imports into ia
pan increased in 1897 by about per cent,
and that those from Germany amounted to
only per cent. of the whole instead of 10
per cent, as in the previous year, while
those from the United States increased by
more than one-half. 1.-THE United States"
says the report, has acquired a very high
ly increased share of both the imports and
export trade, the values of her imports and
exports having risen no less than 81 and So
per cent, respectively After analysing
and commenting on these figures the report
concludes that with their great resources,
Increased IaclltleS Ior prouuctlOn, RAPID de-
livery and improved transportation. the
United States are destined to become a
strong competitor for Eastern trade. Great
as the increase has been during the last few
years the report says: lit must be borne
in mind that the American invasion has
only just commenced, that the ground has
been prepared for large extensions in the
future, and that unless some unforeseen
changes take place the tendency will be to-
ward encroachment upon the trade hither-
to belonging to Great Britain" With the
doors Of the East opening to us and our
trade extending; so rapidly in that direction
the duty OF protecting it and of acquiring
coaling stations for our ships in that quar-
ter of the globe seems to be an injunction of
manifest destiny.

The energy which has characterized Gem
eral Shafter since his landing a week ago
has caused surprise in military circles. In
week he has got his army into position
around Santiago in spite of what seemed
Msurnouutable obstacles, or at least OBJ
stacles which much time would be required
TO overcome. All of the commanding posi-
tons have been occupied outside the in
trenchments of the enemy. Such remarka-
bic achievements speak volumes for the
soldierly qualities of the army under his
command. and give further assurance that
such an army will fight with a spirit and
effectiveness that has never been surpassed.

The point is made by those who oppose
the further acquisition of territory that we
cannot acquire any OF the colonies of Spain,
IN legal sense, except on the execution of
treaty transferring the same to us Until
then. say the DIRECTORS. If we hold any of
such colonies it is only by force, and this
ean last no longer than the continuance of
the war in which they are seized. In
literal sense this is true. When war is once
begun peace between the belligerents can
only be re-established by treaty. and such
treaty must define all the terms of peace,
including the cession of territory. ETC.. and
that Is just what we win do. Uncle Sam
