HARD TO GET RECRUITS.

The war department finds it diff cult to keep the army up to tho re- quirements In spite of the most diligent drumming in all parts of the country recruits are slow coming in and there are many assertions. The authorized strength of the army is @ ,4S9. but the actual fight ing force is but 54 ,659 enlisted men and 3709 officers, total of 5S,36S and this is a decrease of 446 as compared with a year ago. Consid ering all the circumstances. it is not
 surprising this condition exists Private life offers more pay, more opportunities, more freedom of action and brighter prospects, and this being true why should any young man want to become a sold fer? The fighting trade may be easy in times of peace. but the man who is merely in search of a soft place is not the kind that is wanted in the army
 The difficulty in keeping the army up to the standard will no doubt continue as long as the present pros perity lasts. But no apprehension need be felt that the country would be defenseless in the event of war Should trouble arise the first bugle blast would rally the young men around the standard by the thou sands. and every class and condi- tion, every rank and station. every industry and profession, would con- tribute it's quota. With marking time' the chief occupation of the army in peace. the service is not at tractive, but if there is work or fighting to be done the boys will be on the spot in punches.

THE PATRICK CASE.

Friends and sympathiZers with Albert Patrick are greatly rejoiced oyer the communication of his death
 sentence to life imprisonment by
 Governor Higgins of New York, and
 thus case that has excited great public interest for a long period of years is brought to d close.
 The Graphic believes that the
 communication was most just and
 will receive the approval of the gen
 eral public Reading the evidence submitted at the time of the trial
 and reviewing the history of the
 case during the long, weary years
 that it has proven such a mental and physical strain to the cOndemn-
 ed man and his family and the most sEcptical must admit that there is
 reasonable doubt as to whetlfcf Patrick killed Rice and in conse- quence of the fact he should not be condemned to death with the chances of later discovery proving the truthfulnes of his contention
 that he did not commit the crime. Once dead and his vindication would
 prove of little moment to him hee=
 sonally. though it might come as a
 consolation 10 the bercavod family and relatives. Now, however. lat
 CT vindicating would make him q free man. and taking that view of the ease, as did Governor IiiSgins,
 he will find his course has been aD- proved everywhere. It is a serious thing to take man $ life on circum- stantial evidence. and whenever
 there is a shadow of doubt clemency should be shown.
 Patrick has inquest ionably made a determined fight for his life. and while he occupies the center of the stage in the matter of public inter- est. tn world must not overlook the fact that his brother-in-law. Mr. Millican of St. Louis, has proven the
 guiding spirit and provided the
 means Tor this long and successful ] fight for Pat1ick's life. Without Mr
 Millican the fight would have long
 since been ended and Patrick would
 have gone to his death in tho chair.
 Thus it is that the world is called upon to look upon man of mar
 velous measurements in this day
 and time of selfshness, Here is a
 man who has worked inGefatigabiy
 and spent millions in securing life
 for brothcr-in-law, and while in- terest attaches to Patrick. credit in l the fullest measure should ba
 forthcoming for Mr. Millican.
