THEIR is considerable complaint
about the crossing at the lower end Of
Main street. The Morgantown and
Kingwood cars are pulled down across
the way and there they are left to
stand while people and teams wishing
to get across are blocked. This should
be remedied. The crossing should
never be left closed but opened every
time the ears are left standing any
length of time.

For n Larger Army,

! It has been generally recognized that
the increased responsibilities coming to
this country as result of our victory
over the Spanish and the protection of
their American colonies for temporary
period at least would necessitate n materi-
al increase in the size of our regular army
and the passage by the House of the Hull
army bill is the response of our national
lawmakers to a popular mandate. The
army reorganization bill provides ttat our
military establishment shall contain at
least $1,000 men as minimum, while the
maximum force is placed at 100000. The
President is given the power 10 raise the
number from the lower TO the higher limit
in his discretion.
! A number of reorganization schemes
have been suggested, and the Hull bill as
it passed the House is something of COM
promise between a reorganization and a
simple enlargement OF the army. Accord
ing to the terms of the measure there are
to be two additional regiments OF cavalry
and five new regiments of infantry, to-
gcthev with u material addition to the en-
cheering and other special corps. Tho
number of batteries Ill the Itillery is
doubled, a step which in the light tof the
experience OF the American forces in Gu
ba will commend itself to oil: people gen.
orally.
! 1nasmuch as the measure does not con-
template the increase of our permanent
military establishment until in the estlma-
ton OF the President such enlargement is
necessary, the proposed reorganization, is
undoubtedly wise. The manner in which
President Mckinley employed the appro-
priatior1 of $4,000, 90 placed at his disposal
upon the threshold of our war with spain
has Convinced our people that he will not
abuse the discretion vested in MIN in con-
Inection with the enlargement of our army
and it is safe tc say that he will not raise
an additional force until he finds such a
step absolutely necessary. What the Sem
ate will do with the Hull bill remains to
be disclosed. but the belief is expressed in
Washington that the Senate will be more
conservative than the House, if anything,
in the matter of making possible the en-
largement of our military establishment.

The Treaty Ratified.

The country will take a long breath at
the news that the treaty of peace with
Spain has been ratified by the Senate with
three votes to spare over the nee
essary two-thirds. The treaty is yet
10 be ratified by the Spanish
Cortes; but the favorable action
of that body is not doubted. Spain could
not renew the war, if the treaty had fail
ed, and she will he glad to accept the
twenty millions given her by it, coupled
with the free return of her soldiers tc
Spain and the other benefits accorded &c
her by the treaty.
The discussion over the treaty has beer
prolonged and sometimes bitter. However
opinions may differ in regard to the mar
points involved, the people will be glac
10 have the controversy ended; to have
peace with Spain declared in form and ir
fact and to have the administration left
free TO address itself to the grave problem
graver than any question between u.
md Spain-of the disposition to be mad,

Morrill's Services to the Congress
siOnal Library

In supporting its contention that there
10 no more necessity for a professional
librarian at the head Of the great Con-
gressional Library than there is for a me-
chanical printer 10 be at the head of a
newspaper or an excellent accountant to
be at the head of a great banking inst,-
tuition, the Brooklyn Eagle, the leading
independent democratic newspaper. Of the
metropolis, pays a deserved tribute to the
services which Senator morrill, rendered
that magnificent institution. The Eagle
says:
'1n he history OF this government,
Henry II. Anthony, a newspaper man and
senator from Rhode Island, and Justin
+. Morrill,, a farmer and senator from
Vermont, did more for the library than
the Professional Librarians, all put togeth-
err did, while before them Charles sum
ner, lawyer and senator from MassaChu-
sets did as mucn. Congress can always
be trusted to give to the men of prac-
tical intellect and correct culture among
its number the control OF the policy OF
the library, and william Mckinley has
shown himself quite AS competent to so.

the fighting without a declaration Of war
or any Just cause of war, they will now
have to take tho consequences. That
these will be serious both for them and
for us, Is most probable. The fighting
around Manila may be the beginning of a.
guerilla warfare In the swamps and
jungles OF the archipelago which may
last for forty years, at terrible cost of
life and treasure and then leave most
Of the islanders still unsubdued. There
was, at the outset of our war with Spain,
strong probability that it would not be a
long war. But who can predict the dura-
ton OF war with the eight million Fill
ip!nos? 1t can hardly be possible that 1t
will subside as suddenly as it has broken
out If prolonged 1t means larger army,
more ships of war and transports, vast
OUTLAWS of money, and worst of all, the
sacrifice OF many lives of Americans, upon
whom has been forced. in the line of their
duty as soldiers, the task of commencing
the civilizlng of the Filipinos by shoot
ing them down. 1t is sad prospect, from
every point OF view.

The War With the FiIipinos.

That the United States should be OBJ
lised TO fight the Philippine insurgents is
a most deplorable outcome of the situa-
ton in that quarter The insurgents are
most clearly in the wrong However good

from which they had elected the Span
iards they had no claim to the Bay and
city OF Manila. The United States con-
quered that Bay and city in the war with
Spain. and by all the rules and usages of
nations has the right to hold them. When
attacked there the United States soldiers
had no alternative but to defend them
selves; and they appear to have done so
with spirit and success There was no
emergency which Justified Aguinaldo's at
tack The treaty was as yet unratihed,
the American policy towards the Philip
