any objection to that particular arrangement
then doubtless some other can readily be de-
vised which would suit all sensible citizens. In

1t is said that a good deal depends on the
Governors f1rmness OF purpose and the situa-
ton in the Senate supports that view Of the
case. His attitude thus far has done him
credit. His declaration against the Horton law
in his message at the opening Of the session was
q blow to the prizering, and his recent appeal
to public opinion in behalf of the repeal bill
was timely and serviceable. Now that the bill
is in the Senate and its opponents are craftily
at work, another plain statement by the EXecu-
tive might be still more helpful. IF he has found
1t impossible to put through at this session
some of the important measures on which his
heart was set, there is all the more reason why
he should exert himself to carry out the rest of
his programme

AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.

There Republicans in the Senate at
Albany who hope to find some way of defeating
the Horton law repeal bill without mourning
intolerable odium. So much, at least, is evident
AS said long ago, the hackers of the New
York prizering are not going to surrender their
lucrative business until they have employed all
the resources at their command to preserve it.
The heavy vote against them In the Assembly
was encouraging, but II did not settle the mat
ter by any means. Their reliance was not on
the Assembly, with its large Republican ma
jority but on the closely divided Senate That
is the place where from the outset they have
intended TO get in their fine work and there is
considerable reason TO believe that the contem-
plated process is going on at this moment.
OF course the representatives OF the pugi-
listic ring are not so foolish as to predict that
the repeal bill Will be beaten, or to say that it
ought to be- They are merely pointing out the
ACCESSIBILITY OF amending II conservatively in
the interest Of amateur athletic clubs and manly
physical development. How would it do, for

Lieutenant Governor Woodruff has come out
Of the West in excellent form and spirits. He
had a good time. met many old friends. hopes
he made many new ones. and is convinced that
few things pleasanter than the process OF
letting the office seek the man. The only wave
of trouble that rolls across his peaceful breast
was set in motion by the overexuberant ad-
mirers who embraced a recent opportunity to
extend his fame by means of buttons on which
his efflgy appears side by side with that of
President Mckinley. The Lieutenant Governor
might have been justified in excaming IAN
enemy hath done this thing" for he acknowl-
edges that the exhibition is premature, and
everybody must admit that his features were
seriously maltreated in the hasty work OF
production. But Mr.. Woodruff, who is nothing
II not arniable. has not been betrayed into ex-
pressing his disapproval in terms of impreca-
ton and seems inclined to consider the incident
closed. Nevertheless. the warning should not
be wasted. He is in easy circumstances and

test against judicial favortism will probably do
as much good as a petition to the Assembly.
The weight of the deliberately expressed CEN
sure of 145 members of the bar upon judge
before whom they practise is tremendous. Those
men are entitled TO the thanks of the community
for their bravery, 1t takes no small amount of
courage for lawyers whose own living and
whose clients interests depend on having an
unpreJudiced ear at court to put themselves on
record. The natural reluctance which they
must have to critcising a judge makes even
mild and indirect censure from them one likely

MHjTARISM.
And What IL Means To the Men
Who PAY Taxes.

The Republicans are very an
ious TO know what is the mili,arIsm
with which McKinleyism has
threatened the country. They are
amused by what they consider the
bogy raised by the Democratic aud
anti-lmperialistic imagination.
Militarism is this: In 1898 the
regular army consisted of $4,000
men. 1t now consists of $1,000,
and theIe are $4,000 volunteers be-
sides, making 100000 in all. Nc
Kinleyism is responsible for this
increase. in the numbers of the
army. The army used To cost
about S23,OOO,OOO a year. 1t Is
now costing s1S5,OOO,OOO.
But the present force of 100000
men is not sufficient under McKin.
ley 1t is almost entirely alb
sorbed by the needs Of the Philip
pines, and there is no immediate
prospect that the force in the arch
ipelago can be diminished. At
least 100000 men, costing annually
S1OO,0O0,O00, independent Of the
cost of transportation, will needed
in the islands. The care and mans
agement of the new guns in place
and In process of manufacture for
this country. for which Congress-
has appropriated another $780,
$1,000, will require Mt least 900
additional artillerymen. Cuba re-
quires G,000 troops, and will re-
quire them as long as we are in
power there. Porto Rico requires
1900. Here are 22,5OO soldiers,
without counting the additional Ia.
fantrymen and cavalrymen who
will be required at home' in Alaska
anu Ill Hawaii.
Let us say that McKinleyism has
made necessary for immediate uses
and for several years to come an
army OF 10000. Moreover, its
foreign and colonial policy will
breed the military spirit, and will
transform this country inlo mill
tary power.
When a country's military force
is suddenly increased six times and
its cost nearly seven times, there
