THE REGULARS.

One OF our evening contemporaries
made the usual accusation against the
Advertiser Of 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 62, 900
is short OF that number by $4,000 to 90
600 men. The Chronicle accounts for
this failure to obtain the number re-
quired. by stating that instead Of TAX
ing the officers from the enlisted men
of the regular service, SAL civilians
were gaZetted as lieutenants. These ap-
pointments acted, it 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 chew
rons; that the reward of shoulder
straps were not for him, but for the
rank outsider
1t is a 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 it is
comparatively.
The young men have been quick to
see that war is not a tourist excursion,
and that it 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,
safe away from the seat of war, said
war ennobled.' Ask the Manila boys
whether it does or does not. War is
butchery, and if the nation must butch
er in the interests of humanity, let it
cast lots for those who shall butcher
or hire those who are willing TO learn
the trade.

CONGRESS- AND HAWAII.

During the holiday recess, Congress
adjournment, however, the sub-com-
mitties on the organic law, appear to
have attacked the theory OF the COM
mission, regarding the qualification OF
voters in this territory.
As we have said before, if the Re
publican party adheres to its traditions
and practice, it will not place any
qualifications upon the electors, the
Representatives, or the Senators in the
Territory. It gave, over thirty years
ago, the right of suffrage to the most
ignorant negro, and until a few years
ago, tried to protect that right by va
rious devices, the last of which was
the Force bill.
No doubt large number OF the most
influential Republicans are convinced
that it was an error to give the utterly
illiterate negro the ballot. But it is
by no means certain that the majority
of the Republican party holds the same
opinion. If the majority still adheres
to the territorial policy, the organic
law will contain no property qualifica-
ton.
But it is inevitable that the regula-
ton of the status of the conquered ter
ritories will more or less affect the Ha-
waiian question, and may finally lead
to some notifications Of opinion on
the subject. But the racial instinct or
political habit in favor of universal
suffrage is still strong, and it may es-
tablish that form of suffrage here,
while it may refuse it elsewhere in the
conquered lands.
While some of the strongest of the
DRY of universal suffrage here, they
will Offset any possible evil results
from it, by strengthening the EXecu-
tive power. This is substantially the
English idea of governing territories.
Congress may see its way to granting
an unqualified elective franchise, but
lit will not hesitate to refuse the right
of self rule, so far as the Executive
is concerned Those who are firm be-
lievers in the free ballot may indig
nantly say, "are we not fitted to elect
our own Executive?" Congress simply
replies: Whether you are or are not,
you shall not"
With the real power substantially
held in Washington, Congress may feel
disposed to allow the free play of uni
versal suffrage here as it has done in
other territories.

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. 1t 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"
WhlIe q brigade or 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 wal
song. 1t is not difficult to conceive OF
the stiffening effect Of such stately
music upon men who are about to face
death. ..,-
