l should be tempted to say that he was
the best But there must be proper
training, proper organization and adj
ministration, in order to get the best
service out Of even the best troops.
This is particularly the case with such
small army as ours, scattered over
so vast country. We do not need a
large regular army, but we do need to
have our small regular army the very
best that can possibly be produced.
Under the WORKOUT and ineffective or
ganization which has hitherto existed,
sudden strain is absolutely certain
to produce the dislocation and confu.
sion we saw at the outbreak OF the
war with Spain; and when such dislo.
cation and confusion occurs it is easy
and natural, but entirely improper, to
blame the men who happen to be in
office, instead of the system which is
really responsible. Under the law just
enacted by congress this system will
be changed immensely for the better
and every patriotic American
ought to rejoince; for when we come
to the army and navy we deal with
the honor and interests of all oul
people; and when such is the case, par
ty lines are as nothing and we al
stand shoulder to shoulder as Ameri
cans, moved only by pride in and love
for our common country.

the tariff which would work injury to
the large corporation would work not
merely injury but destruction to its
smaller competitors; and equally of
course such a change would mean dis
aster to all the waee-Workers connect
ed with either the large or small cor
porations.
From the standpoint of those inter
ested in the solution of the trust prob
lem such a change would therefore
merely mean that the trust was re-
lieved of the competition of its weaker
American competitors, and thrown
only into competition with foreign
competitors; and that the first effort
to meet this new competition would be
made by cutting down wages, and
would therefore be primarily at the
cost of labor. In the case of some of
our greatest trust such change
might confer upon them a positive
benefit. Speaking broadly, it is evil
dent that the changes in the tariff will
affect the trusts for veal or woe sim
ply as they affect the whole country.
The tariff affects the trusts only as it
affects all other interests. 1t makes
all these interests, large or small, pro-
fitable; and its benefits can be taken
from the large only under penalty of
taking them from the small also.
Business Needs Must Determine.
To sum up, then, we must as a peo-
pie approach matter of such prime
economic Importance as the tariff
from the standpoint of our business
needs. We cannot afford to become
| fossilized or to fail to recognize the
fact that as the needs of the country
change it may be necessary to meet
| these new needs by changing certain
| features of our tariff laws. Still less
can we afford to fail to recognize the
| further fact that these changes must
not be made until the need for them
outWeighs the disadvantages which
may result; and when it becomes nee.
esstry to make them they should be
made with full recognition of the need
of stability in our economic system and
of keeping unchanged the principle OF
that system which has now become
settled policy of our national life
We have prospered marvelously at
home. AS nation we stand at the
very forefront in the giant information
al Industrial competition of the day
We cannot afford by any freak of folly
to forfeit the position to which we
have thus triumphantly attained.

on the police force is particularly OBJ

make stouter fight against it than the
whites. One colored policeman is new

some observations to the newspaper

in the first place what he said was oil
private nature. and in the second
place he was misquoted. When the ad
miral was on "the carpet" at the
White House, he explained the actua

probable that the German ambassador
in Washington was advised as to the

the estate of ]. S. Dennison, deceased,
of which he was administrator, has

letter is dated at mining town in

though the entire contents of the letter
has not been made public, it has been
given out that the writer attempts in it
to explain and justify his course in
abandoning his wife and children and
leaving his bondsmen to pay adeficiency
of several hundred dollars. Every
effort had been made to locate his where

return here without success, and

A Communication.

EDrToRs REPORTER: see how a
letter from me will look in print. Our
theme the coming age. Each and every
generation has something to do in
bringing about the affairs of the coming
age. Each of us leaves our imprint on
the sands of time that will be seen and
felt in eternity. Noble deeds will bring
their reward; good seed sown today
will find it's way; and auntie, in the
coming age, your feet may yet tread on
roses, while the young upstart who
ordered you out of the house will have
to walk on brambles and thorns. We
hope there will be less of the bitter and
more of the sweet in the future than in
the past. A time when freedom will
reign in the hearts of the coming gencr-
alton. For we will plant here good
deed, there noble thought, and yonder
a generous act. Beautiful flowers will
grow where only weed grew before,
and while many are rushing madly on
we will kindly stay behind and pick up
the wrecks of humanity who fall by the
wayside. A CRANKY OLD WOMAN.

We had the pleasure of meeting Uncle
Bob and j. r. Bowsher, of Leon, at Jid
Wasson's sale Monday. The former ap-
pears as lively and as young as ever
and manifested decided preference
for the society OF the ladies in the warm
and cosy parlor, rather than that of the
crowd of husky farmers out in the snow
and cold. Uncle Bob is about 20 years
old, and it is refreshing to see that his
heart is still young and as full of senti-
ment and chivalrous gallantry as ever.
