PORTO RIoAN HoME RnLE.

The people of Porto Rico want home
rule and will memorabilia congress to
grant them this. There is great popular
dissatisfaction with the existing political
conditions, as was shown by the declara-
tions and action OF the convention of
municipalities held a few months ago.
at which the memorial to be presented
&c congress was unanimously adopted
The mayor of San Juan doubtless repre-
sents the general sentiment among the
people Of the island In saying that If
they are not entitled TO what they ask
for in the memorial IL would have been
better for them that the change OF flag
had not taken place. He points out that
when the United States took possession OF
Porto Rico the people OF the island had
control OF the administration OF affairs
and in every important position of trust
there was Porto Rican. Now, after
seven years OF American control, "a
Porto Rican is a nobody I'm his own
country and IL he dares to critiSise those
acts which he considers to be against the
welfare OF his country, he is branded as
an ant-American agitator"
This is an unpleasant charge and IL

The demand for itemized statements
of campaign expenses has been fully
met by the republican state committee
I'm Nebraska, the treasurer's exhibit re-
Gently published showing not only where
every cent came from, but also where
every cent went to. The significant fea-
ture Of this exhibit, however, is more in
what II does not show than in what It
does show. OF the whole Nebraska dele
cation in congress, every one Of whom
holds his place as republican, only two
congressman came to the front with con-
tributions to help maintain the party or
ganizatioC. There are a lot of others,
too, who owe everything to the party,
but who return nothing to it, On the
other hand, the little office holders who
get a meager salary are proportionately
the most loyal party subjects and the
most liberal contributors to the party.
Tho question naturally presents itself
how people who neither have nor look
for political favors can be expected to
put up to keep the party machinery run
ming when those most signally honOred
turn a deaf ear to all solicitations.

According TO the WOrldHerald, 1.-THE
proposition TO reconvene the legislature

eminent republicans who aspire TO a
United States senatorship an opportu-
nifty TO manufacture political thunder
for themselves at the expense of the
taxpayers and to enable the discredited
legislature to retrieve itself by pre-
tended response to public sentiment"

Thursday for California, accompanied by
Mrs. Chaffee. They go to look at some
property offered for sale and hope to select
permanent home in anticipation Of Cen
eral Chaffee's retirement from active SER
vice early in the coming year. 1t is Gen
eral Chaffees intention to return to the city
about December 20 and to resume his duties
in the War department. His present plan
is TO ask for transfer to the retired list on
of stan and as lieutenant general by Cen
eral J. c. Bates, who during General
Chaffee's absence is acting chief of staff
General Bates will probably serve in that
capacity until about June l. according to
the existing plan. BY that time General
Macarthur who is now in India and maxi
ing his way slowly back to the United
states after tour of duty i'm Manchuria,
will have reached San Francisco He will
at once proceed to Washington and upon
the retirement of General Bates will as
sumo the duties of chief Of staff stil hold
ing the rank of major general At that
time also General Corbin, now on sick leave
in Australia, viii be appointed a lieutenant
general He may remain abroad until his
retirement and possibly for a long time
afterward, since. according to the reports
of the surgeons he is far from well and
does not to again take up the cares and
responsibilities of military authority. He
will not become chief Of staff and upon his
retirement in September, General MacAr-
thur will be appointed lieutenant general
The latter is authorized to make an ex-
tended Asiatic and European trip, inspect
ing foreign military systems and 1t was at
one time thought he would return to this
country by way OF London, but in view Of
his detail as chief of stan and later APP
pointment as lieutenant general he may
come back earlier than he originally
planned and reach Washington by way of
San Francisco, instead of New York. There
may be other appointments depending upon
the change in the grade of lieutenant gen
eral, especially as a number of brigadier
generals and major generals-both general
officers and officers of the stan corps-have

connection with advancement and retire

The general staff OF the army will shortly
take up the question OF providing a means
OF augmenting the militia force of the
country. The plan which is generally IA
vored is one similar to that which has been
approved by the chief of stan and which
proposes a system OF increasing the regu-
lar military force of the country to the
maximum strength allowed by law, the OBJ
ject being to have a total strength of 10000
men in the regular army I'm time OF war.
The question In its relation to the militia
is by no means as simple a problem as
that involved in the formation OF a reserve
force upon which the regular army may
depend for additional troops, although the
latter project may be by no means dis
patched off-hand. In the provision of a re-
serve militia force there will be encoun-
tered, of course all sorts Of obstacles on
the part of the state authorities and Il Is
realized that objections from that quarter
must be met with tact. As a contribution
to the determination of this important
question, letters have been sent to the gov
ernors of the states inviting suggestions
from the militia authorities. and It is hoped
that the replies, some of which have al
ready been received at the War department
will aid In the general stan conclusions,
which will be in the form of the draft OF
bill carrying out the approved scheme.

The financial difficulties OF y army OFF,
Ger stationed at a western post are the oc-

unfortunate officer The latter is described
as being in debt to a considerable extent
and to have involved himself by the obliRa-
tiQn OF paying 30 and more per cent for
money which he borrowed. 1t is said the
officer regards himself as hopelessly in debt
and the inquiry addressed to the depart
ment is for the object OF ascertaining
whether or not there was some means of
relief for the officer in question. The War
department authorities have Informed the
inquirers that there was nothing to be done
at this end of the line, that the officer
would be expected to fulln any obliga lions
he had freely assumed and that the surest
remedy would be action by himself or his
friends in discharging the debt and arrang-
ing a new loan somewhere on less high
rates of interest.

There is growing interest in the fate of
the young men, candidates from the army,
for the position of second lieutenant and
holders Of certain certificates of eligibility
issued to them as a result of two examna-
lions held this year The best obtalnable
legal advice in regard to existing law is
not in agreement as to the value and effect
of these certificates. The situation stands
largely at present against the appointment
Of the army candidates and the situation
is the more unpromising for them in view
of the fact that there still remain "addi-
tional' second lieutenants, the graduates
Of the military academy in the class of

class from West Point in 1906, so that under
ordinary conditions there will be no places
left for candidates from the army. At the

and possibly II the question were put be-
