NEEDS OF THE ARMY.

The report OF Gen. g. II. Burton. In.
spector- General. u. 8. A.. has much In
1t for thought. He severely criticises
the absenteeism Of Captains from thei,
commands, and says that out Of 3ss
companies and troops 1856 Captains were
absent, which necessarily made to the
detriment OF discipline. He strongly
recommends the restoration Of the can.
teen. and says that If the exchange were
TO furnish the soldier with light bee,
under the supervision Of the command
ing officers it would undoubtedly bring
| about greater contentment and mini
| mize desertion. :
Another suggestion is startling in its
| novelty. He says that Is per cent OF
all the assertions occur in the first three
months of the soldiers service and sug-
gests that the first enlistment be for
three months. under a contract reserv-
ing to the Government all pay above
IS month. If at the end of three
months the recruit wants to continue
his service he can be regularly sworn
in and receive the back pay due him,
while If he does not like the job he can
retire and forfeit his back pay.
The difficulty that we see about this
Is that the first three months Of his
service are always the most unhappy
ones for a recruit. After that time he
is likely to settle down into his new po-
sitiOn, and be contented with it. The
strange surroundings at first are hard
to accommodate oneself to, and bring
about discomfort, inconsistencies and q
longing for freedom.
Gen. Burton says that the efficiency
of the Army is high and the conditions
generally very satisfactory. He thinks
that the coast artillery should be in
| creased from the field artillery. and
that more attention should be paid to
night attacks and bayonet charges. prof
iting by the lessons of the war in Man.
churia.
If the General will study the lessons
Of the Oriental war from the reports OF
those who actually participated in it.
and not from the accounts Of magma
tive correspondents, he will find that In
reality the bayonet has been proved to
be much more useless than ever, and
particularly the old-fashioned bayonet
The knife-bayonet such as is carried by
the marines, is undoubtedly valuable
portion of the soldiers equipment. as
it is very handy too, about camp and
for intrenching. 1t has all the moral
effect. whatever that may be, OF any
bayonet. The old-fashioned bayonet,
such as was carried during the war of
the rebellion, is a fraud and a failure
in every respect.
Gen. Burton wants to add to the Staff
establishment at Washington by the
addition of Chiefs of Infantry and Cav
airy, with the rank Of Brigadier-Gen-
erals, as has been done with the artil-
lcry. He deprecates the separation of
SO many officers from their commands
for various kinds Of duty, and does not
think highly of the education of the
militia officers at service schools. There
is lack of commissioned officers in the
Ordnance Department.

THE ELECTIONS.

The results of the elections filled
with surprise those who had prepared
themselves for great surprises. That Is,
few of the surprises were in the direc-
ton anticipated. Nobody had predict
ed, or even thought likely. most Of the
things that happened. If anything
came out just as anybody planned we
are yet to hear of 1t.
To begin with Massachusetts,. which
last year elected Democratic Govern
or, while giving Roosevelt a sweeping
majority, was by many expected to re-
peat the protest against the Stand
Patters." as this was the interpreted
ton put upon Gov. Douglass election.
The Tariff Revisionists were unusually
active and confident, but Curtis Guild,
the Republican candidate for Governor,
was elected by $4,000 majority. The
vote for Eben S. Draper, candidate for
Lieutenant-G Governor, fell far below
this, and he pulled through by barely
1895 plurality. Even this is denied by
the Democrats, who have demanded a
recount. The ReviSiOnists claim that
they made their main fight upon him,
because of his conspicuousness as a
Stand-Patter. The rest of the Republic
can ticket was elected by majorities
ranging around 10000, but the Demo-
Gratis made a gain of three in the Sem
ate and one in the House.
In Rhode Island, where it was be-
lieved that the Republicans stood to
lose, on account of failure to amend the
Constitution, and other local causes.
the Republican candidate for Governor
was reelected by majority of 4,342, a
gain of 1886. The Republicans have
33 Senators to four Democrats, and 60
Representatives to 10 Democrats. The
constitutional amendments were de-
feated, and the Republicans gained a
substantial victory in electing the May
or of Providence for the first time in IL
years. They also defeated the Demo-
cratic Mayor and Boss of Newport for
reelection. In the other cities Demo-
cratic Mayors were elected.
In New York the complete returns
showed the following vote on Mayor:
