possessions which may fall into our
hands A third call for 100000 men
will give us an army of nearly 100000
strong. The report is that the last en-
listments are 10 be employed for pur-
poses OF national defense Most of the
commands so mustered into the gov
eminent service will be kept at home
for emergencies. If there is no fighting
to be done they will doubtless be used
to keep the garrisons in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. and
wherever else our flag may be flying up
to the full strength required.
A considerably longer time will
doubtless be consumed in organizing,
training and equipping the third army
than will have been consumed in fit
ting its predecessors for active service.
The third call will be responded to by
absolutely raw recruits. They will
come mostly from the farms, mills and
workshops, without any previous ex-
perience in the duties of the soldier.
Their clothing and their accoutre-
ments, too, will have to be made to
order Our supplies in these necessi-
ties will have been exhausted long be-
fore the new men are called out. II
they are got into shape by late fall
the authorities will deserve credit for
efficiency and promptness.

A THIRD CALL FOR TROOPS.

Under the third call for 100000 vol
unteers West Virginia will be asked
20 furnish about 1900 men-or about
another full regiment, including Off
.ers-unless the number over her legi-
innate quota this State already has in
he field is deducted. When we shall
have completed our portions under the
drst and second calls West Virginia
will have in the field, including officers
and the independent company of i'm
munes from Wheeling about 1850 SOL
niers. and the new call will bring the
total up close to 1000. Wheeling will
have her quota under the first two calls
complete about Saturday and then will
be ready to turn her attention to sup
plying the third call, which will give
to those who did not get in or were
crowded out on the first and second
calls an opportunity to get into the

will be generally accepted as evidence

REEDS WANING POPULARITY.

1t is said that Speaker Reed is losing
his popularity at home as well as
among Republicans in Congress. he
was made the victim of a remarkable
slight at the recent county convention
in one of the counties of his district,
and it is said he feels deeply the action
of his constituents.
The convention in question was held
June is at Portland and was a numer-
Gus and spirited body. But in its pro-
ceedings the Speaker OF the House was
entirely ignored.
Enthusiastic speeches were made
and ringing" resolutions were adopt
ed indorsing President Mckinley, advo-
eating liberal appropriations for the
army and navy, approving war meas
nres and urging a vigorous foreign
policy" which means the annexation
of all the outside territory on which
we can lay our hanns. But not word
was said about Speaker Reed, who has
always heretofore curing mis- congress
sional career been energetically in
dorsed by every Republican convention
and gathering, large or small, in his
district
The cause of home opposition to
Speaker Reed is said TO be his opposi-
ton TO Hawaiian annexation. He OBJ
structed the Newlands resolution as
long as possible His continued oppo-
sition to the Hawaiian job placed him
in position antagonistic to Mckinley
of whose administration in general he
is known to be no Jealous friend.
Probably there was something more
than these ostensible causes for the
loss of Reeds home popularity, such
as it was In fact, it is said he never
was highly popular at home. He was
over Swallowed by Blaine and was jeal-
GUS of him. He has been for years in
opposition to the two Maine Senators
and at times has been unable to con-
troll even local federal appointments I'M
der Republican administrations, all OF
which operates nightly to reduce the
popularity of member Ct Congress.
Once or twice he came near being de-
feated he Is unamiable and implac-
able of disposition and the caustic
quality of his tongue is never repress-
ed. 1t would not be surprising to see
Reed whose own personality has al
ways stood in the way Of his realizing
his highest political ambition, drop out
of politics altogether a disappointed
and soured man.
He now holds the lucrative position
of referee for the rival life insurance
companies organized in the New Eng
land States. He is not rich but if he
goes out Of Office he will have good
thing to fall back on.

THE HURRICANE SEASON.

The report the other day in the dis
patches from Cuba that the hurricane
season was less than a month off sug-
gests a possible danger to our fleets in
Cuban waters which should cause
operations to be fastened from now
on.
Our gallant ships can stand anything
that Spain's guns can do TO them but
they cannot battle against heaven s
artillery when it lashes the Caribbean
sea to fury. When these storms set
in all craft in West Indian waters seek
snug harbor and hug that shelter un-
til the winds subside. No ship yet
built has been strong enough TO stand
a long siege of West Indian hurricanes
The authorities know these things
So does Sampson. The conclusion is
inevitable, therefore, that we shall
either have to do some hard fighting
within the next two or three weeks
or abandon our patrol of the Antilles
By hard fighting We can secure a safe
and ample harbor in the vicinity OF
Santiago. But how about Commodore
Watsons feet in front of Havana? We
are told that no move is to be made
on Havana until fall. According to re-
ports of the landing of provisions, etc.
for Havana our alleged blockade OF
havana is entirely useless and might
as well be given up, but the Washing
ton strategists do not seem to look or
it that way. Will Watson have tc

AS TO SENATOR'S SONS

Having consumed some editorial space
recently in commenting. upon the Presi-
dents objectionable sin In appointing
one of Senator Elkins' sons to a position
in the military service. and in a weak
attempt to make political capital out of
the matter. we may now expect the
Register. in all fairness. TO indulge in
similar outbreaks concerning the honors
that are being bestowed on the sons Of
senator's, in view of the nomination of
the son of Mr.. Elkins Democratic col
league, Senator Faulkner, for commits
sion in the army.-Intelligencer.
We don't know why our neighbor
should refer to this matter in this
cranky manner. It's contemptible and
ever present partisanship probably
prompted it in this as it does in most
things
The Register has not referred in 4
partisan way to these appointments
and has included impartially in its com
ments the few-the very few-Demo-
Gratis who have had sufficient pulp
with the administration to get sons or
other relations into the army
Moreover, the case Of Senator Faulk-
ner's son is somewhat different from
that of Elkins's. Young Faulkner is
appointed to a second lieutenancy in
the regular army and must pass the re-
guar examination before he is confirm
ed, and thereafter he will be an Of
ficer in the regular army for life if he
so desires and continues competent.
And on the field he will have fighting
to do. with the other line officers. Ell
kins's son. on the other hand, is APP
pointed a staff officer. assistant adjutant
general of volunteers and will not be
required to do any of the fighting nor
even to be dangerously near
where 1t is unless under ex-
ceptional circumstances His will be
safe position and in his hands doubt
less largely ornamental. 1t is posi-
ton that requires knowledge and capa-
city of certain kind, however, and is
too important to be given to mere
boy

latter that are largely responsible for

mismanagement that have character

Some esteemed contemporaries are
poking fun at a government press
censor for having allowed TO pass in a
dispatch a reference to himself which
was highly complimentary of his per-
sonal appearance. But why should
they joke the officer on this account?
His duty is merely to see that nothing
prejudicial to the government inter
ests in regard to army or navy man
oeuvres leaks out, not to trim out
matter that has no bearing on this
point, no matter how false or eXtrava-
