The United States Army.

We do not believe that any citizen of this country has the slightest fear that the army now in service is out Of pro- portion 10 the needs of the nation, or that the sixty thousand men now en- rolled are a menace to a single citizen.
 That the question of the army is to be considered as a political issue we do not admit, and it is scarcely worth while considering the subject Yet MT. n. G. Davis imagines that he has made a center shot by comparing the army of today with the army of 1880. He fails to appreciate the fact that condi- tons have changed, and while we now have only -fourths of one soldier Tor each one thousand of population these men are so widely distributed that their services are of character
