ARMY SINGING.

Recognizing the good results that ac-
crue from soldiers singing when on the
march, the British Minister of War
has just ordered, says the London Post,
5000 books Of patriotic and military
songs as an experiment These will
be distributed to the men In infantry
regiments. and classes for singing
will be instituted in the barracks. A
similar experiment made in France by
General Poillowe OF st. Mars, has been
attended with marked success, the
number OF stragglers on the march
being reduced by 20 per cent, owing
to the singing.
The commander of a negro regiment
during the civil war was extremely sue
cessful in keeping his troops together
on a long march. by the Use OF the
negro songs. II reduced the number
Of stragglers, and reused the spirits OF
the men. One OF the most inspiring
Of these songs closed with the refrain:
For we are men OF war,
For We are men OF war"
While a brigade OF negro regulars
under this commander. were waiting
the order for a charge in front OF the
strong earthen works at Petersburgh,
Virginia, the commander ordered them
to sing during the suspense. The song
Of For we are men OF war" was
taken up along the line. The order to
advance was finally given. About fifty
per cent. OF the men We're killed Or
wounded within twenty minutes OF the
moment forward step was taken. and
even before the song was ended many
had fallen.
1t Is not generally known that the
verses, beginning,
Guide me, Oh, thou Great Jehova,
are sung to the music Of ROnceville's
ballad, which was an ancient war
song. 1t is not difficult to conceive OF
the stiffening effect Of such stately
music upon men who are about to face
death

THE REGULARS.

One of our evening contemporaries
made the usual accusation against the
Advertiser OF q want OF patriotism, be
cause this paper denied that there were
openings for an honorable career for
young men in the regular army.
The San Francisco Chronicle reviews
this subject, and presents several in
teresting facts. 1t says that even at
the present moment. the small regular
army, authorized to enlist up to $1,000
is short OF that number by $1,000 to 90
900 men. The Chronicle accounts for
this failure to obtain the number re-
CURED. by stating that instead of TAX
OF the regular service. 5i1 civilians
were gazetted as lieutenants. These ap-
pointments acted, 1t says ITO serve no
tice on every recruit. that although he
might risk his life for his country, he
could not hope to rise above the chev
rons; that the reward of shoulder
straps were not for him. but for the
rank outsider"
1t is singular fact that although
the little war with Spain has abundant
ly demonstrated the capacity of the
regulars to take care OF themselves in
the camp, and to feed and keep them
selves free from disease, there have not
appeared since the day the Spanish
war was opened, enough men to com
plete the standing army, small as 1t Is
comparatively.
The young men have been quick to
see that war is not a tourist excursion,
and that 1t involves irksome subordin-
alton, hardships, sickness and suffer
ing. They have also found out that
war is terrible business, and that
only those should first enlist who can
do so with the least interference with
social and family life. Senator Foraker

ENGLISH kAHUNAS.

Notes and Queries" states that the
white and black pigs are still used in
witchcraft by the lower classes In Eng
land. Two women were yelling at each
other in Exeter recently. and one OF
them shouted, you always keep n
black and white pig SO you can witch
us; you ought to be scragged." The
butchers will not buy these pigs, for
fear of losing the local trade.
When Herbert Spencer declares that
all men think about alike under sim
liar environment, he should discover
and expound the methods by which
the Hawaiians and lower class of
English people have reached the same
conclusion regarding the value OF pigs
in spiritual matters. English travellers
have described, as a novel method OF
suppressing enemies, the use OF the
white pig in Hawaii. II appears that
in their own country the practise ex-
lists, though It Is not fashionable

TAN DODGING.

The capitalists of the Eastern States,
Including an unusually large number
of tie rich descendants of the Puritans,
show Yankee 'cuteness in lodging as
sessment and payment of personal
taxes. At least half. and probably
much more Of the personal property
owned by residents Of the large east
efn cities is SO concealed by its owners,
chat the tax officers are unable, or un-
willing TO reach 1t for assessment pur-
poses.
Many rich men live in hotels, and do
not allow their names to be put in the
directories. Many move from one hotel
20 another, in order to avoid identif-
cstiOn. Many live in one suburban
town until they suspect that the as
SCISSOR Is taking some note of them,

JANUARY SEVENTEENTH.

Six years ago, today the Monarchy
Of Hawaii was abolished. A Provision
al Government followed IL, and that
gave place TO a Republic, and the Re
public has given place TO Territorial
condition, dependent upon the will OF
Congress The evolution has been dis
migrating, In this, that Hawaii in
stead Of maintaining her rank among
the nations, has become the general
property OF q great nation, that will
not at present allow her to retain the
least evidence of sovereignty, not even
the sovereignty OF State. This ex-
change OF prominent, and singularly
prominent condition Of sovereignty for
what seems like a long estate of de-
pendence, was. beyond question. the
great good fortune Of the people Of
these Islands.
The rapid changes duning the last
six years have been without friction,
excepting in the circumstance OF a brief
insurrection, In which a valuable life
was lost. The freedom from disturb
ance has been without precedent in the
history OF communities made up OF
mixed nationalities. The reasons for
such peaceful revolution will become
in time the subject OF historical study.
In no place have there been more ra-
cial antipathies. which generally pro-
woke disturbances and wars. At the
same time there has been comparative
~ harmony and absence OF friction
in the racial relations. The Anglo
Saxon people living on these Islands,
though limited In numbers, possessed
wealth and intelligence, and displayed
during the last six years their usual Or
ganizing power in securing a peaceful
period OF change But behind the An
glo- Saxon leaders stood the larger por-
ton of all nationalities who, whatever
their political views We're, insisted on
the maintenance of order.
| The singular absence of disturbance
during this period, is also due largely
to the general prosperity of the peo-
pie. A prosperous people are generally
contented, and contented people are
conservative. 1t has not been to the
advantage OF the laborers To create dis
turbance. There has been no large
number of young men in this COM
munity who, as rule, are the fomen,
ters Of revolutions. The continuance
OF prosperity has been the firm guar
antee OF good order,
During this period Of change, the
laws have been wisely administered
and the public money has generally
been expended as the Legislature has
directed II should be spent,
Those in the community who could
not consent to, or aid in the politica
changes, have not effectively opposed
these changes. Events have taken thei'
courses. Those who were positive ant
active in bringing about these changes

EVOLUTION on THE PRESS.

The Outlook" recently reached a
weekly edition Of one hundred thou.
sand coplce. This weekly paper, to-
gether with the Independent IN. W
and Harper's Weekly are now exeriing
. great influence throughout the coun-
ary, for their combined readers number
over a million. Their success Is the
triumph of the Miserable Mugwumps'
as the Republican and Democratic par
~ press calls them. There il as much
difference between the conduct and
views of these journals. and the con
duct and views of the partisan press,
rs there is between the comfortable
homes OF educated citizens and the
hog cabins Of the Arkansas poor trash.
The school. the academy, the college,
nov graduate men and women who
have passed the partisan point, and
choose to do their own thinking, al
though they recognize the need and
use of party organizations within GER
tain limitations.
In accounting for its own marvellous
success. the Outlook says: ut Is due
largely to the fact that the outlook
has always aimed to treat its readers
with absolute frankness and candor.
1t has never consulted their convic-
tiOns in expressing It's own conviction;
II has never hesitated to give the minds
of it's editors the fullest and freest ex-
preston. II has endeavored to address
the intelligence of its readers, rather
than their interests, their prejudices,
and their passions
The Outlook was in the beginning
a religious" journal. II partially ac-
cepted the absurd theory that every
man had a religious and a secular side,
although It was difficult to define their
limitations. II presented the case of
the man who builds his house on the
boundary line between two States, and
so lives under two jurisdictions. But
q better understanding OF mans rela-
ton to God. and 10 his fellow man
wipes out this arbitrary distinction
and the Outlook places man under one
jurisdiction only, and makes every act
Of his life a religious" one, even when
he is trading horses with his fellow
man. or working members Of the bro
therhood Of man on sugar plantations,
Or Is riding a bicycle on Sunday after
noon, or listening to Capt. Berger's
music in the Park.
Papers like the Outlook have not
crsated this new and admirable liter
azure. but are the responses to the
growth of public opinion.

ever, the family dog entered house
there was furious barking from every
overturned calabash, and the dogs were
uncovered. The amount Of dog tax coll

cedent.
