included the six royal carriages, the
first and second carrying Queen Alex
andra, the duchess of FiIe (now prin-
cess royal, Princess Victoria and
Princess Charles of Denmark and the
daughters of Queen Victoria and the
king Of the Belgians.
After the funeral party itself the
dominating figure of the day was
Fled Marshal Earl Roberts. When
his well-known bronzed face came in
view the people forgot the solemnity
of the occasion and broke into cheers,
also shouting "Bobs' and other ex-
pressions of familiar approval
The military attaches of all the en-
bassies and legations were with Lord
Roberts staff. In the front rank rode
the American attache, Maj Edward
Il. Cassatt, in an infantry officers full
dress. The funeral procession occu-
pied two hours in passing from Vic
toria station to Paddlngton, dis
lance of three miles. The decorations
everywhere were impressive, but not
elaborate. Purple draperies, hung
with green wreaths. predominated.

The funeral cortege reached Pad

military section passed rapidly out

the queens bodyguard and the royal
mourners. The officers of he guards
and the household cavalry carried the
coffin to the train, and kings. princes
and court lauies were escorted to the

is that at the outbreak of hcstilities
with Spain we had not soldiers enough
to man the sea coast defenses.
The present strength of the army is
about 100000, scattered in seven diff
ferent portions of the world. There
are, out of total of $50 company or
CARNATIONS, but 14s in service at
home. In the Philippines and in China
there are 300 companies; Cuba has

4. The forces at home consist of As
Companies of infantry, 81 batteries of
artillery and SO troops of cavalry, be-
sides two companies of engineers and
one signal company.
We have not only vast territory to
protect, we have ever-eXpanding COM
mercial interests to guard. We need
an expansive army to meet these ex-
pansive conditions. The present con-
gress has done well to ratify by so
decisive a vote the verdict in favor of
adequate military protection and in
creased military effectiveness, pro-
nounced by the people in November

A PROGRESSIVE MEASURE.
An Increased Army Il Necessary ts
Protect Our Growing
Nation.

The army bill, passed by such a de-
cisive vote through the national SEN
ate, has been in some quarters de-
nodnced as step toward militarism
and Caesarism. The people of the
United States do not share this view.
Counting the paired votes in favor Of
the bill with those actually recorded
for it, it is seen that 30 out of As states
supported the measure. There was
nothing sectional about the vote.
Kentucky's. two votes and one each
from Maryland, the two Carolinas,
Alabama and Mississippi helped it's
passage. California gave 1t two votes,
as did also Oregon.
The bill provides for what is merely
necessary army. 1t is not, under
its provisions. proposed to employ one
superfluous soldier. True, there are to
be more soldiers than formerly, but
just as in former lines due care was
taken to make adequate provision for
the military necessities of the coun-
try, similar precautions must be TAX
en- to-day. A state militia or a city's
police force grows with the growth of
state or city. The military effective
ness of nation must in like manner
increase.
In the late Spanish conflict the
small American army OF the day was
overwhelmed with the necessities of
the presidents call for 100000 men.
The number of thoroughly trained
soldiers at home was at the outset
totally inadequate to the exigencies
Of the situation. There is no purpose
in promoting increased military eff
ficiency to disparage American voluf-
teers, who have made such noble.

To stop the Fight.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 30.-Suit was

HOLSTER of the common pleas court
to enjoin the proposed Jeffries-Ruhlin
contest here February IS. This pro-
ceeding is in the name of the state
by Attorney General Sheets at the
direction of Gov. Nash. 1t is under

tors are the ministers and other ele-

having the fight pulled off here and
who resorted to every other means
before this proceeding in the state

Full OF zeal to earn his mileage.

Opened all his vocal fioodgates.
ChurTed himself into fever.
Shook his little bag OF birthstone,
Pointed with a scornful finger
At the country's "lust for slaughter"
At the man within the white house,
AT the whole gum-dastal business
From the battle of Mania
To the Philippine commission.
And he Numbered and h, snorted,
And he snorted and he Numbered,
Sang fortissimo his swan song,

Split the ear drums OF the groundlings,,
Ramped and roared and whooped regard.

Shook and shivered to th.,r marrows.
And In agitated whispers
Asked the question: ''WPy in thunder
Can't he stop? He's earned his mileagei"

From Duluth, the Zenith CITY,
City of the seas unsalted.
Feeling his last hour approaching,
Beloved out his peroraton,

Laid aside his misfit toga,
Wiped his chin. pulled down his waistcoat.

close of the present term some meas
ure which will keep silver at parity
with gold under all conditions. Sew
eral bills making silver dollars re-
deemab,e in gold at the option of the
holder are now before the commit
tees of one or other branch of con-
gress. The democratic members of
the committees, of course, are hostile
to all OF them, but there is strong
probability that their attitude will
avail nothing. The house coinage COM
mttee has just ordered favorable
report on one of these measures, that
introduced by f. j. Hill, of Connect
cut.
1t seems that the democratic mem
bers of the committee wanted the bill
to be he'd until after the opinion of
Bryan on the measure could be OBJ
tanned. The republican members of
the committee, who are in the ma
jority, wisely refused to delay the
bill. Neither the democrats nor the
republicans are in any doubt as to
just what Bryan would say about it.
He would tell his ex-supporters in con-
gress that the bill was intended to fix
the gold standard on the country per-
manently. and would advise all demo-
Gratis to vote against it..
Bryan would be entirely correct in
saying that the silver redemption
measure is intended to make the gold
standard permanent in the United
States. This Is one Of the avowed
purposes of the men, who are pushing
the bill. The committee divided on
partisan lines on the measure. Every
democrat voted against reporting 1t,
and every republican voted in favor of
bringing it up in the house at the
earliest possible hour. The republicans
will triumph. The bill will be enact
ed. 1t is known that both the presi-
dent and the secretary Of the treasury
are ardently in favor Of its enactment
before the expiration of the present
congress. The influence of the presi-
dent, IL was reported few weeks ago,
was being exerted in favor of early, ac-
ton on this line. When the bill Is
passed making silver dollars redeem
able in gold on the same terms as
greenbacks and treasury notes the
one defect in the financial act of
March IA, 1900, will be supplied. This
measure ought by all means to be
put upon the national statute book
by March 4 at the latest-St. Louis
