FACTS ABOUT "MILTrARrsN."
Light on the Subject From Tables Prepared
by Gen. Mandersou.

When Gen. Henderson made the graduation
day spee,h to the lass Of 1890 at West Point on
June IS he devoted a few sentences to the
drivel about "miitarism. which Mr.. Bryan
and his Populist followers rank next TO the
sacred 10 TO |. or 5o-cent dollar, as one OF the
issues" Of the present campaign. Unless
we have Bryan and 50cent dollars We are to
be crushed under the iron hand Of -militarism.-
In the course Of his remarks Gen. Henderson
referred 70 certain tables whiah he had pre-
pared. He did not read the tables, but con-
tented himself with presenting very forcibly
some of the facts which the figures In them
demonstrated.
The tables In question are herewith given.
Gen. Henderson. In speaking Of them after
his address. said that he had had them pre-
pared with very great care. The figures in
them. 80 far as they refer 10 foreign countries,
were obtained after a great deal Of CORE
spondence and at consider able expenditure OF
time, from the highest authorities In the for
eign lands In question and were as far "a pos
sibls brought down TO the very latest date
possible prior to the prepar alton of his speech.
The home statistics are compiled from official
Government tables. II was Gen. Mander sons
idea to be accurate beyond possibility OF dis
pute. and In cases where estimates were neces-
gary he leaned 30 far toward conservatism
as to be far within the boundaries Of actual
fact rather than a hairs breadth beyond them.
His first table. which Is devoted TO the pro-
portion Of soldiers 10 population In the different
countries Of the world. is AZ follows:

TO PUT RETURNING GRADS" IN TENTS
Use Suggested for Brokaw Field at Princeton
at Commencement Time.

The Reunion Committee OF the class OF '95
Of Princeton University will suggest a plan
to tho committees Of the other classes which,
II adopted, will greatly reduce tho expenses
Of the different commencement week reunions.
In the past each class has hired some house
In town for "headquartsrs' and has had is own
banquet and its own refreshments. As rep
ressntatives from about fifteen classes return
to Princeton every year the demand for de-
sirable headquarters" IL only exceeded bv
the prices asked for them. In the spring Of
'9s the class of IS spent about 5000 while they
were In town, exclusive OF all personal sY-
penses. While this Is an unusually large
amount, the expenses OF any class make no
small item.
The proposed plan Ia to turn Brokaw Field
into one large graduate camp every COM
mencemsnt. The tents would be set up along
streets" as in a military, camp, each class TO
quarters for the brass bands and drum-and-
fife corps which each class hires for the Yale
baseball game and the few days following
Class meals and banQuets could all be Jumped
into one common mess. The ACCESSIBILITY OF
establishing a graduate canteen has been dis
cIissnd, but few favor II, aud 1t IS thought that
move. Those who object TO the idea OF sleep
ing In tents would not be inconvenienoed, as
there Is very little s!esp taken during oom-
Those who do indulge in that luxury usually
doze on In whatever room they happen TO be
visiting when the desire for sleep seizss them.
Princeton took place on Brokaw Field, but
az all OF the baseball contests are played on
Osborne Field. Brokaw is unoccupied through

that personal differences stand in the
way o fanny possibility OF an agreement
being reached. and all hope of any i'm
mediate improvement from that source
must be abandoned.
Now IL the people OF Ell Paso will
themselves subscribe to an amount of
stock sufficient to show their earnest
ness and their confidence that the
scheme would pay. there is little doubt
that outside capital in sufficient
amount to insure the building of an
electric road could be enlisted.
IL is absurd to blame the present con-
dition to the price of coal. Electric
roads have been established in scores
of other places under conditions more
unfavorable than ours. The fault
must be in ourselves. and il perhaps
consists in our habit of waiting for
outsiders to do il all. when any such
movements should begin at home.

THE TIME IS SHORT.

1t is time active work were under
taken in behalf of the Great Southwest
Mining association. Let it not be for
gotten that the Carnival is now less
than two months distant In the hur-
~ and worry of the last few days be-
fore the Carnival opens Their will be no
time to organize and properly advertise
a miners congress. The time to do all
that work is now.
. The miners congress is one of the
most important of all the features of
the Midwinter Carnival. 1t should not
be allowed to take second place to any
thing. But the Carnival committees
themselves have all they can attend to,
and should not be burdened with the
work OF arranging for this great gath
ering.
preliminary organization has al
ready been effected. All that is need
ed is a small fund with which to pay
the expenses of man to travel
through the mining territory and work
up interest in the congress among min
ing men and others Interested in the
obJcClS VI the 5tthciihS- hN
itself will be in the nature of mass
meeting, and the actual organization of
the permanent association will be af-
fected By those in attendance upon the
congress. The movement is one of the
most important that have ever been
started in this section for many years.
and as mining is the most important
industry in the Great Southwest. so
the first place should be given to the
industry in the plans for Carnival
week.
The time is short. Those who have
charge of the preliminary movement
should be about the work OF organizing
the campaign. and spreading the
knowledge of the project. so that the
fullest success of this great plan may
be realized.

The movement OF which mention has

company. the stock to- be taken in con-
siderable amount by home people. is
founded on sensible business princi-
pies. II is an axiom OF the business
world that capital helps them that help
themselves. There can be no argument
SO potent as this certain evidence of
the sincerity OF local promoters and
the solidity of the foundations upon
which they base their claims.
Effort after effort has been made to
interest outside capital in the matter.
For some reason every trial has failed.
Some faith was placed in the profess
sions of the existing street railway

best for the town. but 1t now seems

Mining is the great industry of this
section. Ii is gratifying TO note the
staeady increase in the number of sue
cessful small mines. AS yet the face
OF the country is barely scratched.
but the time is coming when every
mountain range and ravine will have
its working mines. shipping ores regu-
larly TO the Ell Paso smelters. the pro-
ceeds being largely spent in FL Paso
in payment for supplies. The posi-
bilities of the Great Southwest as a
mining country are as yet unknown
but it is likely that it will surpass ev-
cry district of like area elsewhere in
the world in the diversity OF its min
eral resources and the value of its pro-
duct.
