CUTTING DOWN THE ARMY.

It will be grief to these self-consti- tuted guardians cf the nation who have decide dthat the Spanish war was the end of the republic and the beginning of d reign oi militarism that would end in imperial dictatorship to learn that fer the second time during the admin istr2tiOn the army is to be reduced so that the total force is to be less than G0,C0c men, or a smaller per capita of the population than there was thirty years ago, and much less considering the duties imposed on the present force.
 Eliminating the large number of men detailed for coast defense, who really in times of peace amount simply to janitOrs and gun cleaners; eliminating those who do a similar service at the various army posts in the country, and eliminating the engineers, who are al ways engaged in some useful work, there is left a fighting force to small that only its high efficiency makes it formidable. The American army is said by European critics to be the best fighting force Of it's size in the world. We believe this. and the best part Of creased to a formidable army on short notice.
 The reduction of the army to a mini mum is g confirmation of peace in the Philippines and death blow to the hopes Of those who considered that the nation was going fast to the dogs and men called upon to save it.

The Norris & Rowe's Big Trained Animal Shows have always had the reputation of presenting a better and larger street demonstration than any other similar tented exhibition. This year the announcement is made that when this stupendous aggregation of performing animals appears here next Thursday the public will witness d street carnival even more elaborate than anything ever before offered by these enterprising managers. Through out the respective states where the shows have been exhibiting with great success their street pageant attracted particular attention and was the occa- sion of many columns of commendation in the leading newspapers.

Since Senator Quay has taken up
the cudgel TO locate an army site at
Somerset it has developed that a ma
jority OF the residents OF that staid
aristoeractic town do not desire to
have the post located there. A petit
tion Is being circulated among the
residents of town, which will he pre-
sented to Congress asking that some
other site be chosen. The objection
to the site was raised when the Ma
tional Guard camped there two years
ago. The good people of that little

demoralize the towns standing; that
it would break the peace and quiet
that now reigns.
