Hryan's Attack on the Army.

In his speech to the Iowa Democrats
at Des MOines, Mr.. VIM. j. Bryan
made one remarkable statement which
has not received quite as much atten-
ton as it deserves. 1t is this:
"A republic needs an army of 1000
for 10000. 900 people. An empire needs
four times that large an army when
10, 900. 600 population is added. This
suits the young men who get fat jobs
in the army: but not the people who
pay the 81. 800 year needed to main
tain each soldier i'll the Philippines.
The Young men thus mentioned as
getting what Mr.. Bryan calls fat jobs
in the army are second licEtenants
and first lieutcrants ana captains
