England and the Powers.

Hartford Courant. Tl1
OF course the jealous and unfriendly pow
ers are secretly taking counsel together
against England this year as they did
against the United States last year. And
probably no more will come of it now than
came of 1t then. England is not unaware
of their i'll will. In the swift mobilzing of
her forces, the calling out of the reserves
and the sending of the channel fleet TO the
Mediterranean she has given them, food Tor
reflection. They cannot be quite sure that
the United States would see with uncon-
Germ a coalition against England. Probably
they will end by letting Il dare not walt

leo or South American republics would not
meet with the approval of thoughtful Amer
leans. Two years ago no one would have
advocated fitting out an expedition 10 take
the Philippines from Spain. even although
1t might be shown that such proceeding
would be for the ultimate advantage of our
selves and the Ffiipinos alike. But IL has
been no mere lust of conquest which has
put us where we are. The question Is not
of taking or not taking. The little
Americans must know well as anybody
that our position in the Philippines Is the
result of the war with Spain. not the object
of IL. They must know that TO withdraw
now would be a national disgrace.

THE LAST BUGABOO.

Militarism is the scare which Mr.. Bryan
is trying to work upon the people of Ne
braska at present. He raises a cry of alarm.
saying that If things go on as they now
are militarism will strangle the liberties of
the people. Mr.. Bryan will search the coun-
try's history in vain for an instance where
federal soldier has threatened the liberty
or the rights of any citizen of the United
States. When Mr.. Bryan was yet child
the peace Democrats of the North were
filling the country With their warnings
against the dangers of a vast army in the
hands of Abraham Lincoln. We were then
told that, with million of men, Mr.. Lin
coin could make himself dictator. When the
war had been three months over, nearly the
entire one million of soldiers had faded
away. By tens of thousands they wfre mus
tered out and became citizens, taking up
the vocations of civil life. With this ex-
ample before them Mr.. Bryan will not be
able to brighten the sensible people of Ne
braska or elsewhere.
The fear of militarism which seems to
trouble the timid Bryan is very absurd. In
the regular army there are sixty-five thou
sand men. of whom thirty-i five thousand will
go out of service i'm two years. In addition
to these there are thirty-five thousand vol
unteers whose period of service expires in
two years. before. and, unless Congress
should take action, this will reduce the reg
ular army to thirty thousand men two years
hence And this is the bugaboO with which
Mr.. Bryan is trying to frighten the Ameri-
can people. Consider some figures: France
has 14.5 soldiers to each one thousand in
habitants, Germany has 11.5 Russia 6,
Italy Z. Great Britain So The United States.
on the basis of sixty-five thousand regulars,
has s6-1OO of soldier to one thousand in
habitants. That is the ghost which Mr..
Bryan is holding up to the people of the
West. Again, France has a soldier to 37-1OO
of square mile, Germany one to 35-10O,
Great Britain one to $500, the United
States has a soldier to 50 1910 square miles.
In 1886, to build Notifications and maintain
the army, cost the people of the United
States ~ cents a head. 1t cost Great Britain
1921 per capita and Germany $40
Mr.. Bryan had better stick to his 16-to-1

scare about military usurpation. The reg
ular army has never menaced the peace,
and it has never taken from the citizen the
right to vote and to have his vote counted,
yet Mr.. Bryan went out of his way to sup
port Goebel in Kentucky, who is the author
of an Infamous scheme TO rob anti-Goebel
voters of their votes in the machinery Of
counting-a positive menace to the liberties
of the people of Kentucky.
