ATTEMPT TO "LoG-RoLL" THROUGH
CoNGREss.-Every device of the artful
politician has been brought to bear on
the army bill to secure its passage
with a maxium strength of 100000
men. The discretionary power given
the President to stop enlistment at
$4,000 or 10000 men, was only pre-
text to gain votes, for nobody expects
that after claiming so persistently for
the larger number he will make it
smaller. Just before the bill passed
the House, shrewd move was made
to add to its strength in the Senate, by
the adoption of an amendment for the
adjustment of the army "canteen."
For several years the temperance and
reform organizations of the country
have been asking Congress to do away
with the canteen," but their requests
have been ignored until now, when
their influence is needed and it ia
shrewdly surmised that the grave and
dignified gentlemen who drink "cold
tea" in the cloak rooms may be in
duced to believe that they will place a
stake-and-rider on their fences by in
ducing the Senate to agree to a stand
ing army of 100000 men. The Re.
publican leaders are about as slick as
they make them, when it comes to
manipulating legislation.
