Trifling with Army Reform.

r T SEEMS to us, after careful study
OF all the arguments pro and con,
l. that the house military commit
tee has not acted wisely in its
mutilation of the carefully drawn bill
of Secretary Root for army reorgan-
ization. 1t has stricken out the pro-
vision giving preference in promo
tions above a certain grade to officers
of the regular arm now holding volun-
teer commissions the effect of which
would be to cause a strife among. po-
litical influences for the promotion of
inexperienced volunteers. There are
officers by the hundreds in the regular
arm whose heads have grown gray in
the faithful and efficient service of
their country under all kinds of try
ing conditiOns-amOng the Indians, in
Arctic Alaska, wherever there was
tough work to be done, requiring ex.
perience and soldierly skill-and it Is
proposed by the house military COM
mittee, in the promotions incident to
an enlarged army, to set these quiet
and faithful regulars aside so that sons
ticiaries of social or political pull may
take the pick of the new commissions.
This may not be the conceded intent,
but it is too likely to be the probabl
effect.
But even worse is the house COM
mittee's elimination or the provision

flying news to ambitious Americans as

100000 people speak English as their

has been the most prosper

the merchant shipping of

THE report of the commissioner of

gross tons, was greater than for any
yoar since 1861, when American ton
mage reached its maXimum to that
tife. ,l5S"S13 gross tons, AS our sta.

NOW required by law to be enrolled,
ic3n merchant shipping is now greater
than at any time In the past. The
lotnaGe' Built during the year 1900,
namely, 393,790 gross tons, has been
eNeeded in amount by our annual
oufputs only six years. and in value

current fiscal year than last year, and
if dhe. present rate is maintained. the
ne$v tonnage will exceed that ever
b4lt In the United States, except in
1864 and 1866.
But, as the commissioner points out,
American shipping in the coasting or
domestic trade must be distinguished
from American shipping in the foreign
trade! ffhe former trade is restricted
SOLELY TO American vessels: the latter
trade is necessarily open to the COM
pe{itioneof foreign vessels. Growth in
the former Is matter of internal de-
velopment, measured by domestic
standards. Growth in the latter is our

d
l. ter for Scranton. apart from
any question of increased
expense, which economical administra
tion might obviate, arises from the fact
& that in city government based on such
A charter responsibility Is almost nope
lcssly dffused.
Under present conditions. if the eX-
ccutive management of the city fails To
command public approval the people
have within easy reach responsible
official whom they can hold to account.
The mayor of third-class city has 1t
within his power to shape the anairs OF
government pretty much to his liking.
Councils may occasionally decline to
follow his lead and by control of ap-
propriations may at intervals hamper
him; but it has yet to be shown that
a strong man in the executive chair
with power over every executive de-
partment Is unable substantially, in
spite of these incidental obstacles. to
reflect his will and policy in the con-
duct Of municipal affairs.
Under the second-class charter the
mayor has virtually no power what
ever save that of veto. The heads of
the important executive departments
are elective by councils and in turn, as
appears from the practice in both
Pittsburg and Allegheny, they exercise
a potent influence in determining the
personnel of councils. The people, when
angered, may succeed in displacing a
number of Objectionable councilmen,
but unless they can command a major
ity in both branches in opposition to
the inevitable city ring they might for
practical purposes as we'll have none.
Under the second-class charter, If the
director of department incurs criti-
cism they are powerless to reach and
remove or discipline him save when re-
inforced by a majority in councils.
When it is understood that the polite
department director always distributes
the patronage and perquisltes Of his
Office with view to retaining the in
terested favor of a majority in councils
and is in a position to be of material
aid or injury to the councilman seek
ing reelection, the probabilities Of un-
organized public opinion being able
successfully to compete with him for
a majority control of councils in a city
accustomed to elect councilmen of the
calbre most familiar in Scranton may
be computed by the reader at his
leisure.
We said a moment ago that the ques.
ton of expense incident to the pro-
posed new order might be regulated by
economical administration. But with
out a responsible single executive head
to safeguard and direct the public in
terests as contrasted with the private
or factional interests Of the council
manic majority in power, how is eco
nomical administration to be initiated
or preserved? This is the great prac-
tical question underlying the whole
proposition of Scranton's acceptance of
q second-class charter. Until it can be
answered satisfactorily those who up
hold the expediency of seeking legis-
lative escape from the new classifica-
zion have, it seems to us, by far the
better end of the argument.
