eARKIsoNs IN CITIES
why Republicans Desire Large
standing Army.


Senator Hawley, chairman of the
senate committee on military affairs,
stated during its discussion that one
of the objects of army reorgani-
zation was to enlarge the regular
army SO that garrisons can be estab-
lished In the large cities. He declared
the time had come when cities like
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, st.
Louis, Washington, etc, needed gar
risons of United States soldiers for the
suppression Of disorder, says the New
York News. These garrisons, 1t was
alleged, could easily be maintained II
the bill were enacted into law.
During the last campaign the charge
was freely made by the Democrats
that one Of the purposes of increasing
the army was the securing Of enough
men to place garrisons in all large
cities for the overawing Of the people
and especially the woriingmen, who
are prone to go on strike. The Repub-
licans denied the charge. Now Senator
Hawley, Republican, who speaks in
the legislative chamber for his party,
is put on record as admitting the
charge to have been well founded. This
is of Importance only as showing the
Democrats knew whereof they spoke.
AS a matter of fact, Senator Haw-
ley's words are fathered by his desire
and the desire of his fellow Republic
ans to have such garrisons. But the
present scope of army reorganization
precludes federal military occupation
of municipalities. The enlarged army,
under the pending measure, can con-
sist of no more than 100000 men. OF
these, at least $4,000 will be needed in
the Philippines and our other oceanic
possessions, 1000 in Porto Rico, 5000
in Cuba and 10000 at the army posts
and Indian reservations of the west.
No less than 10000 will be required at
the garrisons already existing in other
parts Of the country. This will account
for $4,000 men. And as the full 100,-
600 are not to he recruited at once,
there will he considerably less than 35,-
600 with which to do the overawing
act This number would be lost in the
crowds If divided up among the cities
where frightened plutocracy may i'm
agine necessity for their presence ex-
lists.
There is little to fear from any at
tempt to put the garrison idea into
practice just now. But it will be well
to kill the idea once for all, as the time
will come when we will not have legit-
innate use for all our soldiers-that is.
If Imperialism doesn't plunge us into
another war-and the temptation to
station them at various points through
out the country might prove too strong
to be resisted.
Senator Hawley may not want them,
but he has earned the thanks Of all
true Democrats.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN2
Is the Administration Invading the
Supreme COurt9

~ the AumhnlstrntiOn invading the
Supreme Court3
The United States supreme court has
before it the question as to whether the
constitution of the country extends to
Porto Rico or not. The administration
is on record as believing that 1t does
not. 1t was pilloried upon this issue
during the presidential campaign and
wriggled out of responsibility by say
ing it was in the hands Of the court,
says the Atlanta Constitution.
That being the case, all pressure up
on the supreme court of the United
States should have ceased. Instead Of
that the administration has steadily
and stealthily invaded the privacy of
the chamber and sought to make its
Impressions known. 1t has through q
prominent congressman declared that
the most grave consequences would
follow an adverse decision. This decla-
ration read by the members of the
court could only suggest, Would it be
wise for us to embarrass the govern
ment?
But the boldest act of invasion has
JuSL Coiue W llSHI Ill tue dppOlntmenL
of the sons of two of the justices to
highly important offices. One Of these,
Hon. James S. Harlan of Chicago, has
been appointed attorney general of
Porto Rico. Thus the question is
brought straight into the home of Asso-
ciate Justice Harlan, who must feel
anxious for the perpetuity of his sons
job while he is passing upon the alb
stract legal question as to whether the
constitution should stretch far enough
to weaken it.
No amount Of explanation can re-
move the fact that these appointments
are Ill timed and justify the strongest
criticism. If private person were so
to approach court, he would be dealt
with properly, and there have been
judges of such fine mold that they
would instantly throw up consideration
of case whenever imputation became
possible.

Senator Quay's Ovation.

When Senator Quay presented
himself to be sworn in yesterday
the ovation he received was with
out parallel in the history of the
senate. The galleries were throng-
ed with Il gay and brilliant assem-
blage long before the hour of meet
ing. Wagon loads of costly floral
decorations literally buried the
senator's desk and filed the space
around it until no more room was
left for the display, and many of
the pieces were left in the senate
corridors. The house end of the
capitol was nearly deserted, the
members having gone to the other
other end of the building to wit
ness the triumphal re-entry of
Quay. When he appeared a roar
of applause swept over the floor
and galleries, and after he had
been sworn in there was a rush
from all parts of the chamber to
congratulate him on his return aft
er his ''great victory"
Will there be similar ovation
given to Clark of Montana when
he returns in March to the senate
from which he departed so dramat-
ically and tearfully, and which he
endeavored to re-enter a few days
after, having put up a job on the
senate with his resignation? Why
should there not be? He, too, has
been "vindicated" by legislative
votes, how obtained it may not be
well to inquire too curiously.
There would be propriety in such
"vindication" being followed by
an ovation, now that a precedent
has been made in the case of Quay.
Besides, it would balance matters
politically.
1t was curious incident of
Quay's return that he was assign
ed the desk formerly occupied. by
Senator Hanna, whose vote pre-
vented his admission when he pre-
sented himself with certificate of
appointment by Gov. Stone.

The ANXIETY of some city news
papers to appear facetious some
times causes them to show scant
courtesy to the guest within their
gates. To one reading the Cleve-
land papers of the past week one
would have supposed the state
meeting of county commissioners
to be an assembly gathered to-
gether principally to be wined and
dined in bunch by bridge com
panies and incidentally to pass re-
solutions of protest at the meager-
ness of their salaries. These
papers seem to have overlooked
the fact that these men are repre-
sentative men who attend to the
business of 88 counties of the state.
They meet to discuss methods of
carrying on the business of their
counties, and the people are sup
posed to derive benefit from this
exchange of ideas. We believe
that the people do derive benefit
and that the commissioners deserve
better treatment at the hands of
the press of the city they visit.
These columns have pointed out
extravagences of certain of our
servants. These were remember
ed and remedied in years past.
When we get the wrong party in
power down here we do the best
we can but when our commission
ers go to meet others of the State
we don't want that body roasted.
