about half the new army will be infan-
try. The existing conditions determine
In part the composition of the army.
Cavalry is needed on the plains to
chase Indians, infantry to garrison
frontier posts, artillery to man the nu-
merous and increasing coast defenses.
West Point influences can have little
to do with the reorganization scheme.
Graduates of the Military academy are
in a hopeless minority in the list of
promotions to high grades. Miles is
not West Pointer, and the same Of
General Corbin, the adjutant general,
who has made more of his office than
any previous incumbent. For years
the office of adjutant general of the ar
my was simply copying and forward
ing bureau for army orders and re-
pository for military records and docu-
ments. Since the beginning of the
Spanish war the adjutant general of
the army has been only second in i'm
portance to the general in chief. Be
ing near the president, the incumbent
of that office. if he is the right kind of
man. can WELD an influence equal to
a cabinet officer. Such power is need
ed
The army is an institution and can
not safely be left to the whims, preju-
dces and rivalries Of legislators. Gen
eral Corbin has had no little to do with
the management of the army, and he
is a veteran of the civil war and of the
plains. In the sixties he showed I'M
usual capacity for enforcing high dis
cipline and for keeping his troops up
to n fine standard of efficiency. He
was born soldier in the sense of hav
ing military mind. Beginning as a
lieutenant of volunteers in his teens,
he came out the commander of regi-
ment. Starting again as second lieu
tenant Of regulars in 1866, he arose to
the position he now holds by sheer
force of character and military genius.
How jealous he is of the welfare of the
army was shown when the president
appointed Funston brigadier general.
Said he, Funston is an excellent scout,
but the army needs generals who can
teach" Recruits wish to be taught to
be soldiers, and soldiers wish to be
taught to be better ones. The ideal
brigadier for standing army is not
dashing madcap, but head man, or
sort of governor, teacher and ruler.

cut down to 10000. In the Mexican
Wharf.-The experience of 1928 was re-
peated. The army was expanded to
25,000 to fight at Monterey. Buena
Vista and the City of Mexico, then re-
duced to 10000 again. In 1861 it was
10000 and at the surrender of Lee, in
1865, numbered less than 10000. The
Spanish war again found it on g peace
footing of $4,000.
The dangers of large standing army
have been cried up more zealously than
the dangers of territorial expansion, a
state of things which accounts for the
hating and half hearted policy of sup
porting the regular army. Yet when
war comes the public looks for quick
showing of brilliant leaders, crack
troops and early victories. The estab-
ishment to be hereafter maintained
should give a good account of itself
within a few weeks after war is de-
clared in order to justify the claims for
standing armies. Prussia won in 1866
and again in 1870 because of the high
efficiency of her standing army.
The new army bill establishes a reg
ular army on peace footing double
the size heretofore maintained and on
a war footing about four times as large
as in the civil war and after. This
should prevent the neglect and deterio-
ration Of the regulars in a prolonged
war. AS a nucleus for a fighting force
of 100000 pitiful $4,000 becomes an
absurdity. The regulars were reduced
to nullity in the sixties because they
numbered only in 40 of the troops in
the field, the rest being volunteers, who
cared little for army discipline except
as it served the immediate purpose in
hand.
One of the absurdities Of the old army
abolished in the reorganization is the
artillery regiment. The system Of regi-
ments has been mainland on paper,
but never carried into practice. In the
civil war aggregations Of batteries at
tached to army corps We're called bril-
gades. Batteries necessarily act indie
pendently. They are now organized
into corps under a chief of artillery,
much the same as the active batteries
of the civil war the last two years Of
campaigning. The army bill provides
for 80 field batteries and 126 coast ar
tillery companies, the batteries and
companies to be designated by num-
bers.
Cavalry also receives due attention
in the new army. Formerly there were
10 cavalry regiments to 25 of infantry.
Now the mounted regiments number
Is and the foot regiments 80. This is
a recognition of lessons of the war.
Cavalry can fight as infantry, but in
moving on horseback can be twice as
serviceable at times. In fact, only

lie utterance, indicated the course for
the future when he declared "If, per-
chance, some of our tariffs are no
longer needed for revenue, or to en-
courage or protect industries at home,
why should they not be employed to
extend and promote our markets
abroad?" President Roosevelt, who
pledged himself to continue alb
solutely unbroken the policy of his
predecessor, may be depended upon
to be equally explicit in his first mes
sage to Congress.
Representative Babeock of Michi-
gan is right when he says the whole
proposition is not a question of rev.
enue, but one of protecting the con-
sumer against exorbitant prices and
still giving the small manufacturer
equal protection against foreign COM
petition. There is no excuse sufTici-
ent for permitting a tariff duty to re-
main in force which enables a trust
like the steel corporation to pay divl-
dends on watered stock.

A Small Bunco Game,

A bunco game, which like a boil, is
none the less irritating because it is
SMALL is reported to the Woodstock
Age by j. G. Dana, who paid his fare
on the cars between White River
Junction and Windsor and received
from the Central Vermont conductor
rebate check. From the check
the word redeemable was punched,
making it unredeemable and valueless.
When the general passenger agent was
interrogated by mail he replied that
the conductor acted in accordance with
directions, that the rules. and regula-
ttons under which he made the check
unredeemable were legal and lawful"
having been approved by the state
railroad commissioners. The general
passenger agent, however, enclosed
cash to cover the amount Of the check.
Mr.. Dana wrote to Erwin NJ. Harvey,
clerk of the railroad commission,
explaining the circumstances of the
case, and the latter replied that such
a system was now in use by the road
named, but that it had never been
passed upon by the board and had
never been the subject of test case
in the court
The object in giving a check that is
no good could be attained by handing
out small gold brick, the passenger
would be treated with the same cour-
tesy and fairness which ne receives
now, and would have more interest
ing souvenir, The scheme looks like
a contemplate one for a big corpora
ton to be working. The railroad
commissioners are evidently cognizant
of what is going on, but whether they
lack jurisdiction or are too timid to
act we are unable to say. More light
is needed. but if it fails to come some
of our would-be Legislators ought to
keep tab on this game until the next
legislature meets, and then hit it hard.

The Montpelier Argus deplores the
passing of the oldtime lyceum, and its
comment is pertinent. In days agone
the lyceum was an important adjunct
to our educational system. 1t not
only stimulated thought and study in
the young men, but it was great
training ground in self control. in self
poise, in self confidence, it taught our
youths to put their thoughts quickly
and cogently into words, and not to
fear tilt of opinions with those who
differed with them on important oues-
tions. 1t was preparatory school
for the pulpit and the forum. With
the passing Of the lyceum public life
is left largely to the lawyers and the
young men who gain experience in
debate at the colleges.

Put Up the Bars.

The immigration bureaus figures
show that 4S7 91S immigrants arrived
in the United States during the year,
an increase of per cent as compared
with 1900. The high water mark of
immigration, 7SS,992, was reached in
| 1882, but during the business depres-
sion beginning in 1893 the tide began
turning, and for time our gates which
had only swung inward We're turned
outward. Prosperity here turned the
tide again and since 1898 there has
been a steady increase in immigration.
One-fourth of all the immigrants who
of the 4S7,91S set down to this year
nearly 100000 had less than $50 each
on arrival here.
More than one-half of the arrivals
last year came from two countries,
Italy and Austria-Hungary Italy
furnished 1876, 1896 and Austria-Hungary
1880; Russia sent S5,257. From
these large figures there is a decided
drop to those reported for Ireland
(30,56D, Sweden (23,33D, German
Empire (21,65D, Norway 12,24S), and
England Q2,21D.
1t is well enough to decaim about
America the land of the free, the asy-
lum of the oppressed, etc. but after
seeing the hundreds of Russian Jews
who have poured through Brattleboro
en- route from Montreal during the
past year one shudders at the thought
of this frayed remnant lot being as
simulated into our body polite. Only
last Sunday our streets were filed
with characters more bizarre than any
thing ever designed for the minstrel
or vaudeville stage, and a burnt rag
would have been sweet incense Mon
day morning in the railroad station
after the motley collection of 200 had
moved on. One of the recommends
tions made by immigration Commits
sioner Powderly is that the poll tax on
immigrants be raised from 81 to SO
per head. One thousand dollars
would be none too high for the rag,
tag and bob tail seen in the Russian
Jews, besides whom the ostracized
Chinese are sweet brothers in arms.
