he argued. all the honors and emoluments go to
members of the favored classes. For the son
of the farmer or the laborer no door was open
to the distinctions and prizes Of military

cautious language to the POpulist Notification
Committee at Topeka on August %: The
farmer, while he pays more than his share OF

contracts and his sons are less likely to NIL the

prominence exert influence at Washington
No one knows better than Colonel Bryan him
self that Army appointments and promotions
are made with every safeguard against po-
ltical favoritism. Under the present system

large by the Senators from each State. In
many States and districts competitive examina-

to such a statement Colonel Bryan not only in

Such misrepresentation cannot fail to react
upon his canvass. For a little harmless croak-
ing over the phantom evils of a distant and
imaginary regime of militarism might be good
naturally forgiven a desperate and embar-
raised Presidential candidate. But in belying
the principles of equality and democracy which
underlie our military system the Nebraska
orator is likely to stir the resentment and
awaken the antagonism of every American to
whom the Army. its character and its achieve
ments are a just and constant Indictment to
patriotic pride

panic of fear lest the Constitution be over
thrown and liberty be destroyed would be a
trife more effective if there We're some eie-

cult for even the most glib tongued Of dema-
gogues 10 create serious alarm with the same
CRY of wolf which his party has raised Just

occasions over pretended dangers that even the
Democratic party itself would now admit never

We find the Democracy true TO its traditions of

two wings in 1860, but il was united in fore

A RECKLESS AND ryJUST SIrP


Colonel Bryan's fondness for picturing to way
station audiences the horrors of ''militarized"
republic has led him into many glaring extrav-
agances both Of theory and of statement No
tints in the Nebraska orators color box are
dark enough TO paint the shadows of a regime
which is TO saddle one man in khaki" on the
shoulders Of every 1000 or LOO of his fellow
Americans. This burden of one soldier to one
thousand citizens has been borne with some
composure by the American taxpayer from the
earliest days of the Republic. Yet il pleases
Colonel Bryan to describe the present military
establishment-no vaster in proportion to the
countrys population than that maintained in
time of peace by Jefferson or Madison-as a
milestone hung round the neck of industry a
weight which means longer hours harder work
and greater sacrifices for those who toll"
Though under Jefferson. Madison. Monroe and
Jackson the one man under arms was restrained
somehow from subverting the liberties of his
thousand or eleven hundred fellows the
Democratic candidate can see in the mainten-
ance of American military strength at the old
ratio only sinister omen of failing republi-
canism and approaching empire
Were these vague complaints of new and oner-
Gus burdens or of hidden periIs to civil and
political liberty the only extravagances into
which Colonel Bryan's passion for highly
colored rhetoric had betrayed him. his indict-
ment of "militarism" might be dismissed as
raising no issues material enough TO notice or
controvert. But In his recent West Virginia
UP the Nebraska leader dropped his futile role

He was graduated from Harvard uni
versity in 1861. He has good war rec
ord, having entered the navy in 1862 as
an acting assistant paymaster and serv-
ing creditably during the war of the
rebellion until 1864, when he resigned
to engage in the study and practice of
law at Boston. Most of his naval serv-
where most of the sea fighting was
done. He was with Lieut.. Commander
Flusser when the latter was killed on
the United States steamship Miami in
the engagement with the ram Abe

When Caleb Cushing was senior coun-
sci to the Geneva tribunal in 1872 Mr..
Hackett served as his private secre-
tary until i'll health compelled him to
relinquish that Office and return to the
United States. Although he has al
ways maintained his legal residence
at Newcastle, n. H., where he has a
house, he has spent the greater part of
the past quarter century in Washing
ton, engaged in the practice of his pro-
fession before the courts and the de-
partments. In 1877 he represented
Portsmouth in the New Hampshire
legislature. He is man of high lit
erary and legal ability, and is the
author of several works. Although his
experience in the navy has been some
what limited, he has always shown
great interest in that arm of the serv-
ice, and is probably as well informed
in regard to it's condition and needs as
any other civilian in the country.
Mr.. Hackett has accepted the ap-
pointment with the understanding that
his term will expire on the 4th of March
next. He has declared that he could
not afford to give any more time to
public business, as he has considerable
private work to look after which would
have to be sacrificed by longer con-
tinuance in the governments service.
The appointment came as a complete
urprise to him.
