To Weaken the South.

The st. Louis Republic believes, or af-
fects to believe, in the existence of an
ardent desire and firm intent on the mart
Of the Republicans ito weaken the South"
by cutting down !ts representation in the
National House Of Representatives and
in the electoral college. The Post has not
seer any strong evidence of such a wish
or purpose. II was not apparent in the
campaign, nor has it been manifested In
the talk of Republican leaders and the
comments of the influential Republican
newspapers since the election. The Phila-
delphia platform contains only the brief
est and most perfunctory mention OF the
subject, and nearly all Of the Rerubli-
can statesmen-Senators and Representa-
tives-who have recently been induced to
comment upon IL have shown a conserv-
atism Indicative of strong dislnclination
to arouse sectional feeling.
II is possible that our 81. Louis con
temporary has mistaken its Democratic
contemporary, the Chicago Chronicle, for
an inspired Republican organ. If that
ridiculous mistake has occurred, il Is
easy to understand why the Republic finds
the Republican party possessed OF a fixed
determination 20 attack the solid South.
The Chronicle began Its assault on the
South just as soon as II found that, In
spite of all it's efforts 10 avert Demo-
cratic disaster. the Bryan combine had
suffered a second and decidedly emphatic
defeat Speaking in the name OF the
Northern Democracy, the chronicle IS in
sistent in its demand that the Republican
majority In the F'ifty-sNth or the Fifty
seventh Congress shan apply the four
teenth amendment TO every State that dis
eliminates against the negroes in the
exercise Of suffrage. An intensity OF sec
tional maleyoience that has not been wit
messed anywhere since the era OF recon-
struction has come 90 be the habit, the
customary attitude. of that leading Dem
ocratic paper in the second city on the
continent. IL has a keen eye for the ex-
posed parts and tender spots not only in
the political. but equally in the social
anatomy Of the South, and hurls there
at its "barb-poiEted arrows Of malice"
with unerring aim-all in the name OF
tae Northern Democracy. II must be that

Mr.. Roots Army Bill.

It is to be hoped, in the interests of the
service and of the country at large, that
Congress will enact into law the army bill
drafted and earnestly recommended by
the Secretary of War. and this without
any vital or even serious amendment
The bill represents the judgment of the
most competent and experienced officers
whom the Secretary has consulted at all
stages Of his deliberations-and 1t pos
sesses, moreover, the quality of common
sense which even the layman can per-
ceive at glance.
We need only look back upon the con-
fusion and futility which attended our
work OF organization and mobilization
during the early months of the war with
Spain in order to find the most eloquent,
not to say unanswerable. arguments in
favor of the plan in question. Then, in
that time of stress and trial. we realized
to our sorrow the inadequacy of the pres
ent system. The permanent staff: the iso-
lation of that corps from the line: the
utter but inevitable lack OF sympathy be-
tween the two; the miserable poverty of
the staff personnel. especially in the quar-
termaster and commissary branches, and
the general inability, through want OF
training and experience. of the line Of
fioers to perform these staff duties in the
emergency-all these considerations pre-
sented themselves with tremendous force.
The quartermaster and commissary off,
Gals were personally competent enough,
indeed we may say that they were COM
petent to very high degree: but they
were sadly insufficient in numbers, and un-
der the operation of the system then as
now in vogue. the needs of the large army
created to meet a sudden military crisis
were not and could not be responded TO
with anything resembling satisfaction.
Had the system now proposed by the
Secretary OF War been in full operation
then the difficulties would have been
easily surmounted. Every line officer
would have been competent 10 perform
staff duty, and every staff officer at Wash
ington would have understood and been
able 10 meet the requirements OF the
emergency. TUT al puIpOses VI ueTt
routine under a peace establishment, the
organization was fairly adequate. But 1t
was without elasticity and it proved
dismal failure. There were brilliant ex-
ceptions here and there. The rule. how
ever, was as we have stated. Our meth
DDS were shown to be obsolete and unin-
telligent. They were fragrant and melan-
choly anachronisms.
OF course, this is not the only direction
in which the Secretary finds a way TO i'm
provement. But 1t is. in our opinion, the
most important or them all. and Congress
should permit nothing to interfere with or
even dilute the legislation asked for in the
premises.
