The republicans Of the South Dakota
legislature are evidently mapping out a
new record for their party to stand up
on in the next campaign, provided these
Legislators make good their proposed
record in the present legislature. They
have n or two very progressive men in
the present body at Pierre, such as Sem
ator Loomis who is charged by his ma
chine colleagues with being more of q
popullst than q republican, because he
has stood for the control OF corporations
and thwarted the purpose Of the machine
in several instances to override the prob
able veto Of the governor. Failing to
agree on Q radical republican machine
course, the party at Pierre has got to-

the army differs from the navy. In

In the army the appointment is for the

This was decided in the case of Judge

The reorganization army bill which

has passed the lower house of congress
provides for an army Of 100000 men.
with all adJuncts and equipments on the
same graud scale, but no provision is
made, as was expected, for u general or
lieutenant general Of the army. Officers
OF this rank are left out of the genera
bill for organization Of the army and, as
heretofore, will be created at the caprice
of congress or the president. No doubt
the omission is aimed at Gen. Miles, who
by seniority OF rank and merit as a SOL
der was qualified to step up into
either Of these ranks. Heretofore,
except in time Of war, our
army has been SO small, that there was
neither room nor need for officers Of
either Of those two ranks, but if u
peace footing Is to be raised to 100000
men, it is a magnificent army, and wor-
thy Of the two highest titled officers
whoever may ill them. 1t may be that
ageneral can command an army as we'll
with a small title as q big one, but 1t
does not give the army the dignity and
Importance in the eyes Of the world to
say it cannot afford these ranks. 1t de-
tracts also from the renown and prestige
OF our head generals no matter how able
they may be-. Az army of 100000 men
which cannot develop one lieutenant
general or a general, equally as great as
the men Of these titles 10 foreign armies,
must be an army of "small potatoes"
indeed. We believe Gen. Miles just as
capable a soldier as any general or lieu
tenant general in European armies to-
day, and since he is the ranking major
general OF our army there is no reason
Why he should no. become lieutenant
general or even general when our stand
ing army is to be 81 largely increased.
And the provision for this should have
been put right in the regular army or.
ganizatlon bill, SO that he could step up
by right Of seniority and not be held
back and Inundated, and our army hui
INFLATED at the same time, by 4 war de-
partment or some administration clique
IN congress who do not like the ranking
officer Of the army for his outspoken
stand in behalf of better provisions for
our common soldiers or ADLER manage
ment of our medical aud commisssry
departments. 1t is not enough to say
that these offices can be created by con-
gress or the president in time Of val
and be bestowed by merit. 1t should be
merit enough for any man who attains
to be head or ranking officer Of an army
OF 100000 men to have the same title
that men in like positions in other ma.
tons have, and the army bill should
provide for it. Our generals should be
protected from the spleen OF small bore
politicians.
