Last December Gen. Nelson A. Miles
recommended that the size of the stand
sng army be 5000 men. His idea was
that the army should be established up
on flexible basis. so that it would grow
with the increase in population. He made
his unit one man for each 1000 popula-
sion. The announcement the other day
that the President and Secretary Root
had determined upon an army OF 5000 is.

Havana is a badly crowded city. 1t
occupies less space than any city in the
United States of equal population There
are only 5000 dwellings in Havana, TO
$4,000 population. That gives nearly ten
persons to each house. And most of the
houses are one-story affairs, having poor
accommodations for numbers of persons.
The crowding is believed by certain of
the health authorities to be responsible
largely for the prevalence of consump-

Leopold, King of the Beigians, is known
as the 'merriest monarch in Europe" not
withstanding his grey hairs. Cleo de Me-
rode, the actress, proposes to lead him a
dance through the courts, with a suit for
damages. Cleo says that at his instiga-
ton she gave up a lucrative theatrical
contract to embark in enterprises sug-
gested by the King, and for which he
promised financial backing. One was the
opening Of an Exposition theater in
Paris. When the time came for Leopold
to put up the cash. he failed to make
good, with the result that Cleos enter
prises failed and she lost money.

Prof. Marrienberger of the University
of Berlin delivered in Chicago the other
day a lecture on Woman" He believes
this country will be sent to smash by the
women. If we are not very careful He
cautions us against giving them too much
voice in public affairs. They are not con-
stituted for politics and public offices, he
declares. Man Judges with his head,
woman with her heart. History shows
that countries are always such as their
women are When Rome had the ma
irons of home as heroines. Rome loved
liberty. But when women who had power
and ambition ruled in Rome-women such
as Tullia, Masalina and Agrippina-Sallust
tells us Rome could be bought for
money" Upon the whole, the learned
professor was quite sure that unless we
were very careful in giving power to wo-
man, she would run our ship of state
upon a rock or into mudbank.

We reproduced yesterday from the Co
lumbus Enquiner-Sun an item stating
that Mr.. win Mitchell of that city, who
entered the class of 1902 at West Point,
would be graduated from that institution
in June, 1902 with first honors, and that
by so doing he will be the first South
erner in all the history OF the institution
to achieve the enviable distinction. He
will also be the first Southern student
who has finished the required course of
study in four years" 1t seems that our
contemporary was not correctly inform
ed with respect to this matter. In the
class of 81, Spencer Cosby of Kentucky,
John S. Sewell of Kentucky and James r.
McIndoo of Maryland were graduated re-
spectively first, second and third, and
each completed his course in four years.
In the class of 'sS George P. Howell of
North Carolina, a four-year man, took
first honor. In the class of '95 Edward H.
Schultz of West Virginia stood first and
Harry Burgess of Mississippi second, both
finishing the course in four years. In
the class Of '96 Edwin r. Stuart Of West
Virginia stood first, a four-year man.
Among the Scutherners who graduated in
the class of 49, all of whom took only
four years, were Wheeler of Alabama,
Pritchard of Georgia, Fleming of Ken
lucky and Brooke Payne of West Vir-
ginia. The last three cadets appointed
from this district, Lawrence j. Fleming,
G. b. Pritchard, Jr., and Hugh A. Rob-
erts, took four years to complete the
course. While therefore the work of Mr.
Mitchell of Columbus is praiseworthy, it
is far from being unique.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune Dem.) says:
Writers on the subject claim that every
war of any consequence derctly affects
practically all people on earth, no matter
how far distant they may be from the
scene of the conflict. Thus, during the
Civil War, for instance. the cotton mills
of England were cut off from their sup
ply of raw material, and, as result
there was a cotton famine in Lanca-
shire which took on the proportions of a
national calamity AS a direct result of
the Civil War, it has ben estimated that
10000 workmen in England, Germany
and France were kept out of work con-
tinuously for more than three years
with much misery and starvation as the
result. The brief statement of a single
war which lasted four years can give but
u faint idea of the terrible destructive
ness of war in every age, and it brings
to mind the well-known expression of
Gen. Sherman on the subject. that war
is hell" And still the destruction goes on,
since the nations of the earth have not
yet reached the idea that the peacemak-
ers are blessed"
The Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
Ex-senator Butler, who has been bowled
out of South Carolina politics, once more
advertises himself as a supporter OF the
policy of the Observation-Disclosures
steamship subsidy and all. He Gays that
steamship subsidy would tend 90 greatly
increase the sales of Southern cotton
goods; and there may possibly be man
ufacturers I'm South Carolina who believe
30 absurd thing. The talk OF ex-senator
Butler is one among many indications
that the steamship subsidy lobby is al
ready reorganlzed 10 make a formidable
demonstration upon the next Congress"
Writing Of the Texas oil boom, the Balti-
more Sun (Dem.) says; New wells are
spouting all over the land snd the EN-
pire State OF the South Is wild with de-
light. Everybody seems 10 be 80 happy

TERRITORY IS THE LOSER

81 POO
Hawaii paying for Unsold Stamps
That uncle Sam offered TO Take Up
over a Year Ago.

The United states government ap-
pears to be making about s.. 200 out OF
the Territory of hawaii by reason of
the mistakes Of pOstmasters who did
not redeem their Hawaiian stamps in
time. Treasurer Wright is now pay
ing out money 10 the pOstmasters who
made such mistakes. according to an
appropriation made by the legislature.
when the postmasters were about TO
cease to be postal officials under the
Republic, owing to the change of gov
eminent, they were told to send all
their unsold stamps to the new United
states post Office in Honolulu where
the old stamps would be exchanged
FOR good American stamps. Instead of
doing this a lot Of the postmasters sent
their stamps to Washington. Tho
United States authorities simply sent
back receipts for the stamps and, it is
supposed. destroyed them
The result was that many Hawaiian
postmasters were personally losers to
the amount Of the value of the stamps
they had on hand on June IA, 1900. Tn
der the Hawaiian system postmasters
bought their stamps for sale. Just as
storekeepers buy any kind of goods.

legislature was concerned il appears

suppose 1t may be true that the Fede-
raj government really owes the amount,
but the legislature has made the appro-
priation, and | am ready to pay the
postmasters, when they present the
necessary receipts for stamps"
The situation appears to mean a loss
of $1,000 TO the Territory. through the
postmasters' mistakes. The govern
ment at WASHINGTON stood ready to
give par value for all of the stamps,
but the postmasters failed to follow
the course laid down to get the money,
and now the Territory is digging for
them, though Uncle Sam intended to
do 50.

BARBARA FRIETCHIE..

Here are some of the things that are
said of one of the new plays to be pres
ented this season in Honolulu.
What will probably rank as the most
pronounced success of the Neil Drama
tic season is the beautiful drama of the
war, Barbara Frietchie" as presented
by James Neil and his company. The
piece not only received the warmest
approval of the presidential party in
San Francisco when fiat produced ry
Mr.. Neill at that time but it was so
witnessed during it's run there by the
Governors of three states and their
staff officers. It's quaint southern att
mosphere and the powerful, stirring ST
uations proved a fascination that San
Francisco theatre-goers found impossi-
BILE to resist and thousands We're tuin-
ed away unable to gain Abundance.
A playwright never devised m ore
touching love scene than where Bar
bara finally capitulates to the woolng
of Captain Trumbull nor more heart
rending than where duty interrupts the
marriage ceremony and calls him to
battle from which he returns mortally
wounded. barbara Frietchie' Is a
play that will be remembered long after
the rest of modern dramas have been
forgotten.

Wants Campaign Against Violation Of
No Trial without Written Complaint

Judge Gear disposed of four criminal
cases i'm very short order yesterday,
setting free two of the defendants on
technical points The judge threw the
cases out of court, in one instance be-
cause the papers in appeal were in the
Hawaiian language. The papers came
from the Kaneohe District court, where
one Akchi, a Japanese woman was
found guilty ofsadultery.

raised the question of languages Judge
Gear intimated that Honolulu is a very
bad place for violation Of the 9TH COM
mandment, ana that the police were
derelict in their duty in not going after
many people" Three or four times late
ly | have ordered my official reporter to
send to the High Sheriff the records in
divorce cases where the evidence show
ed open and notorious adultery" said
Judge Gear land there has been no re-
suit. / am told that there is so much of
it that the police would have to clean
out the town If they started. If that is
the case they had better clean out the
town, but not begin with a Japanese,
for there are others In high LIFE
Judge Gear referred to Humphreys
order of many months ago, that all do
cuments must be in English. Douthitt,
assistant attorney general, stated that
many records were presented In courts
in the Hawaiian language, Dut Gear re-
piled that they didn't go in the First
Circuit court and that If there were
any outside judges who didn't or
Couldn't use the English language 1t
was time they were removed.
In the case of Wada. Judge Gear set
the prisoner free because there was no
written complaint from the District
court. He held that without such a
complaint there was nothing to try the
man on. This unexpectedly cleared the
calendar for the day, and Judge Gear
had an afternoon without court in
session.
