Military and Naval Strength.

1t seems a little singular and posi-
bly, somewhat inconsistent, that while
there is we'll developed opposition to
an increase of the army, all appear
favorable to an enlargement of the
navy.
The theory that the people fear a
large standing army is untenable, for
not one individual out of every ten
thousand. possibly, ever gives a
thought to any such a contingency.
1t is more than likely that opposition
to an increase of the regular army is
simply based upon the idea that the
stability of u national institutions
at home is such as to require 20 pro-
lection beyond what the people them
selves, through police, militia and
sheriff's organization can and will
give them.
Touching our frontiers, domestic
enemies are no longer known, and our
only immediate foreign neighbors are
Great Britain and Mexico, from
neither of whom warlike demonstra-
tions need be apprehended, at least
not without ample notice, and in that
event our transportation facilities are
such as to render the mobilization of
our regular forces at any given point
possible almost within the instant. A
very small regular army is sufficient
to hold in check any invasion, of
whatever magnitude, until the militia
of contiguous States can be assembled,
to be reinforced by the American
volunteer.
But for complications in the Philip
pines and China a very small regular
force is all that would be required.
So far the latter is concerned, posi-
bly,, the necessity for American troops
in that country has passed, and it is
confidently expe tied hat in the former
within a very few months peace will
reign supreme, thus releasing all
troops there, except a sufficient mum
Der to do police duty, until staple
government a be established.
When all auxiliary forces, rendered
necessary by the troubles in the
Philippines, are mustered out, the
regular army will consist of about
60, 900 rank and file, and no man, no
matter how conservative, will con
slider that force excessive, and even
should it be increased to 100, 600,
thoughtful men would laugh at the
idea of it being a menace to Ameri-
can freedom.
Touching the navy public opinion
almost universally favors the bnild-
ing of it up to the point where Uncle
Sam shall be absolutely master upon
the scas-St. Louis Star.

The most remarkable phoaomenon
Of Modern Europe IS the growth OF
Germany since the Franco-Prussion
war. The treaty OF peace was signed
in 1871, and since that time Germany
has no. extended her territory by a
single acre OF the continent of Europe.
with possibly the exception of Heligo-
land, but she has increased her popu-
lation by 5000. 900. The Germans
numbered 10000, 900 in 1871: they now
number 81, 200, 600, and yet, though
there are 50 many months to feed, the
Germans are better fed, better clothed
and in every way more prosperous
than they ere then. This is attribute
ed to the fact that for twenty years
Germany devoted herself to the ele-
mentary education OF her people.

Most Of the European power, are
sick of the Chinese campaingn. Mem
bers of the French Parliament are
asking how much longer ii will last,
and how much more money will have
to be appropriated to pay the expense
of the French soldiers who are partic-
mating in it. Some Of the most in
~iuential of the German papers have
been opposing it from the start, and
their opposition is increasing rather
than diminishing at the obstacles
which appear in the way of a settle
ment. England has been only luke
warrs from the beginning. If all the
nations had agreed upon the mild and
humane programme set forth by the
United States the trouble would all
be over by this time, and all the
troops could be Withdrawn from China
except the legation guards which each
country keeps. This Chinese adven-
ture promises to be costly and more
or less humiliating for some of the
countries which have been favorine
the policy of vengence. Happily, the
United States is practically out of the
whole affair.

Seems to US that our boys in the
Philippines are a little slow in sup
pressing the rebellion. Only last week
they hap a hard fight to take a Fill
pino fort within thirty-five miles of
Manila. Our army has been in the
Philippines long enough to have
chased the Filipinos farther than
thirty-five miles. What are our boys
doing.
The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1900-12-01

The boys in the Philippines will en-
Joy the holidays equally as well as we
will here, as hundreds of packages
from friends and relatives have found
their way to the tropics, and these
little tokens will brighten and encour-
age those brave lads on that far dis.
tant shore.

Four more years of continued pros

NOT BRIGHT
Is the Outlook for Peace in the
Philippines.

The new Commission sent out by the
President, to restore peace and set up
civil government in the Philippine
Islands, finds itself beset with difficult
les. T
The Philippines cannot be trusted.
Those who have been set down as
friendly, are known to be treacherous.
Even the native police in Manila, are
believed to be in communication with
with Aguinaldo's Government. A
secret society exists that has its rami-
fcations through all the islands, and
either through sympathy or fear it
gathers taxes from the people, even in
Manila, to carry on the war. They
have no large army, but everywhere
in 'all the islands--they have squads,
more or less large, that keep up con-
stant warfare, requiring the utmost
vigilance on the part of our troops, who
are confined, except they go out in con-
siderable bodies, to the limited areas,
within our picket lines. These guer-
rillas prevent the people from raising
more than enough to keep them alive,
and thus cut off commerce and prevent
the increase of revenues of our Govern
ment. AS there are 100000 of
these people land nearly as many
islands!) the task of subjugating the
country seems to be prodigious, and a
larger army is even spoken of as a
neceSSity.

STABBED.
Young OF. Jacobs Stabbed by George
rIOrriS.

Otto Jacobs is clerk in the Reprogle
saloon, just north of the Cushman cigar
store. Saturday night, about ten
o'clock, when he wanted to close the
saloon, George Morris, young colored
man, under the influence of liquor, was
drinking beer at the bar, and was in
no hurry about finishing his glass.
Jacobs, vexed with his obstinacy, at
tempted to hurry Morris out, and took
the glass and threw the beer out, when
Morris turned on him, and with pair
of barber scissors stabbed Jacobs seven
times about the breast and body, two
of the wounds penetrating to the cavity
of his breast. Jacobs fell to floor, say
ing he had been stabbed, and bled pro-
fusely.
Drs. Wilson and Shuffelton were call
ed, and dressed his wounds and he was
taken home. His wounds are of 8. seri-
Gus character, but it is not believed
they will be fatal.
Morris escaped in the darkness and
stayed at the West Side school house
over night. About noon Sunday, word
was telephoned to the police, that he
was in the Big Four yards attempting
to escape on train. The police and
Sheriff Shaw went out, and Morris see
ing them coming, escaped East on the
Big Four track. Sheriff Shaw seeing
it would be difficult to overtake him,
got into the buggy of Mr.. H. K. Hub
bard, and they drove out the North
wood pike to head him off. Stopping
at the DR.. Moury or old Carson farm,
the Sheriff went down to the track, and
saw Morris coming, on dog trot.
Hiding in the bushes till Morris came
up, he called on him to surrender at
the point of his revolver, and the latter
promptly obeyed and was brought to
town in the buggy.
Policeman Policy was close on Nor
ris' trail, when he surrendered to the
Sheriff.
Morris is a heavy stout young man,
peaceable when sober, but of a bad dis
position when drinking He had been
working at Clarke's barber shop, and
had his razor and shears with him
when he got into trouble at the saloon.
Jacobs was shot by Donahue at the
Southland livery stable, several years
ago and narrowly escaped death.

capacity, till he has become very
wealthy and successful business man.
The new company starts out with a
large plant, modern machinery, and

Last Sunday the Lutheran Sunday
School numbered 235, the largest num-
Der but one, it ever had in any one
day.
After the usual Sunday School in
the morning, the usual forenoon hour
for preaching was turned over to the
children, who held their 'Children's IS
Day" exercises in the auditorium,
which was well filled, including the
gallery.
The children's exercises were inter-
esting, both to the children and to the
adults as well.
The offering taken was liberal one.
and set apart for the Louisville Or
phan's Home, which is supported by
the benevolence of the Lutheran
churches and Sunday Schools.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Special Session OF the Grand Jury.

Judge Melhorn held a, special term
of Court yesterday. Daniel Newlin
was tried on charge of selling liquor
in local option township and was
fined $50, given five days in jail, and is
to stand committed until fine and costs
are paid.
A special Grand Jury was empannel-
ed, and after short session made its
report, which the officers of the court
were instructed to withhold from the
papers. Lizzie Weimer, who swore
out the wa rrant charging Bob Young
with criminal assault, was the only
witness before the Grand Jury. 1t is
fair, therefore, to infer that an indict
ment was found against Bob Young, as
there would be no motive for suppressine
the news if no Indictment had beer
found.

Judge West was at Lima, Saturday,
as attorney for N. l.. Michaels, Vice
President Of the Lima Bank, who had
been indicted on charge of embezzle-
ment. Michaels had been indicted on
testimony furnished by an Indiana de-
tective, who said he would furnish
other testimony. But after the in
dictment he demanded $500 to pay the
expenses of the witnesses he pro-
posed to bring, and because he could
not get it, he failed to make an appear
ance himself. Affidavits discrediting
his character, from parties who knew
the detective, were read to the court
and the Prosecutor entered a nolle
prosequi in the case, and Mr.. Michae
was discharged.
