RTG1BOO "PROBLEMS."

We have never belittlcd nor felt the slightest
inclination toward attempting the vain and mis-
chieyous task of belttling the Responsibilities
which this Nation incurs nj every stage OF lis
coreer On the contrary we have recognized
them in the fullest and frankest manner. 1t
would be worse than folly to do otherwise. The
uossession of any property or the adIninistra-
ton of any business entails responsibilities and
duties Existence itself entails them This Ma
tion would have avoided much work II II had
never annexed Alaska or California or Texas or
Louisiana or the Northwest Territory, but had
remained content with the Atlantic seaboard.
1t would have avoided still more If 1t had never
made its Declaration Of independence, but had
remained forever as II was "in the good old
colony days. when we were under the King
with all responsibilities resting upon the Gov
eminent I'm London. And all Of us would have
avoided all troubles and responsibilities and Ia
bors If we had never been born or if God had
never created the world. But no sOundnnded
man regrets his existence. and no man who Is
fit to be an American regrets this Nations indie
pcndencc or its growth, or wishes to shirk the
RESPONSIBILITIES and duties which those facts en-
tail
The problems that confront us-tO use the
phrase of the day-are unquestionably great.
But they are not insoluble, nor are they to be
regarded as particularly formidable in compari-
son with those that have already been con-
fronted and solved What are they at most
by the side Of those which the vOyagcrs of the
Mayfower tackled? How do they compare with
the task which John Hancock and his com
rades set before themselves on July 4, 1870?
What do they amount 10 by the side Of the Ia
bors and perils and pcrplextles Of George
Washington nj Valley Forge? If we are risk
! ing something now what did we risk In 1872?
| II there is a big job on hand. what was there on
hand in 1861? Granted that the 'eXpansonst"
policy, which has been the fixed policy Of the
! Nation from It's foundation TO the present day,

extent, its problems sink into inslgnlfcancc by
the side 'of those of the last century and
quarter.

nifty" IL there were created military caste
with special privileges over all others! DouD'-
less there has been TOO much bandying OF cpl
tbcts all around I'm the French press, or IN
certain section of IT, But II does not appear
that the army has been special sufferer, nor
that II Is entitled 10 special protection or vndi-
cation IT. therefore the penalties provided ny
the law are insufficient in the case of the army
they are insufficient in all cases. The complaint
is n general one.
There is reason, however to think that the
army has not suffered from the license OF the
press nearly so much as some nave tried 10
make II appear. There has been too much of II
| tendency on the par. OF some of the army OH
GERS TO resent all criticism as insulting ana 10
demand that The army shall be held sacred from
all civilian discussion. They have contended
that the sentence upon Dreyfus must stand ana
be regarded as necessarily just simply because
Il was a military sentence. Practically they
have tried 10 set ND a doctrine of military infal-
ub,ltv and n doctrine Of military exemption
from nil the obligations that rest upon civilians.
That e not for n moment tolerable. The army
Is entitled TO no exemption from criticlsih' anu
criticism Of It cannot be deemed necessarily IN
sulting or offensive. The army Is quite capapie
of making mistakes, and some of its officers are
not incapable of deliberately doing wrong as
has been demonstrated by their own confes-
sions In such cases criticism Is perfectly leRit-
innate. A corirt-martial is no more infalliDie
than a civil court, and It Is neither contempt OF
court nor an insult to the army to ask that us
judgments be reviewed. We do not for mo-
ment believe that the French Army rs whole
Is committed to any such preposterous ideas as
those apparently held by General Chnnoine. It's
officers and men are mostly intelligent and pa
triotic and reasonable. But there Is an aggres-
sive faction that does hold such views ana IL
has stirred up the bulk of the present troupie.
It will no doubt presently subside or he forced
TO subslde and the army will thus be made all
the stronger and more respected

Counterfeit Bills.

United States Marshal J. M.
Martin is the holder of another of
the SO silver certificates that have
created no little excitement in
north Louisians for the past two
or three weeks. This bill was
taken by Mr.. j. P. Watkins, q mer-
chant of Greenlng postofice, Red
River parish. 1t is the same
counterfeit that had been passed
in Mansfield, other places and this
city. It is poorly executed and
easily detected. The vignette is
dim and uncertain, the reverse
sides of separate pieces of paper,
between which are inserted silk
threads to give it the appearance
of the government manufactured
paper. These threads If examined
closely, will show their impress on
the paper. With the least care or
observation the counterfeit bill
can be easily detected by any or
dinarily intelligent person and
would only be received by a tyro,
or in the hurry of business in max
ing change. Lookout for them.
