Senator bale on Military and Naval
Expenditures.

The Hon. EUGENE HALE Of Maine is
one Of the most experienced and accom-
plished members Of the Senate. and he
has done much good service in his time.
In recent years, however, he has shown
not infrequently a sympathy with opin-
ions which, however harmless in the
mouth of the Hon. ERvING WINsLow or
the Rev. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN TRUE
BLOOD, have a strange sound when they
come from the chairman Of the Senate
Committee on Naval Affairs.
On Tuesday the bill to reorganize and
increase the efficiency Of the artillery Of
the army went over without prejudice.
Mr.. WARREN Of Wyoming, a member OF
the subcommittee on the Notifications
Appropriation bill, informed the Senate
that there are now about three times az
many guns in place as there are men to
handle them. Mr.. HALE interjected this
ingenious remark:
The Senator ought 10 emember that we have
no enemies"
AS il any great Power did not have
latent or potential enemies; rs il the
points Of contact and of possible hos
tility we're not numerous when fierce
economic competition and race feeling
are felt around the world, and as if war
could be prepared for amply when it
breaks outi The Senator from Maine
ought to remember that he is too mature
and ~sagacious . utter such a vituline
remark as that. Follow him a little
further on his downward career:
" Congress has been treated for years 20 the
proposition. nrst. that II Is no use TO have an army
unless you have guns and iortineations. and when
We appropriate literally for tortincstons and guns
then the army turns about and says; What Is tho
use OF having guns and Notifications unless YOU
have men, and We travel on with military e1pen-
diturcs In that way"
Does Mr.. HALE think that guns and
Notifications are of use without an ade-
quate force of men? Is it not the duty
OF Congress to furnish the men as well
as the Notifications and the guns?
According to Mr.. HALE the army and
the navy are seeking to -aggrsndize
themselves" In other words, they want
appropriations large enough TO make
them efficient. MIR. HALE weeps because
river and harbor bills are arrested;
public buildings bills are arrested" on
account Of the greedy army and navy.
Pork and pie are worthy and noble
objects, Of course, and much should be
done for them, whereas what is the use
OF an army and a navy to a nation with
out enemies?
Mr.. HALE declares that "the naval
appropriations are just as extravagant,
just as enormous and just as much a
drain on the public treasury as the army
expenditures" He does not say, how
ever. that the American people are tired
Of those expenditures or that there is
any popular demand for a reduction Of
those expenditures or that a ~picayune
policy in regard to the army and navy
would have any popular support. We
assume that he ia conscious of speaking
his own biliousness and does not pre-
tend TO represent the general American
sentiment.

been dismissed without honor IL all the
greater and all the more inexeusable.
The President believes that many OF
the non-commissioned officers and men
must have known, and all Of them may
have known, circumstance which would
have led TO the conviction of those en-
gagged in the murderous assault" As
everybody familiar with negro troops
knows, the old non-cOmmissiOned officers
are loyal and devoted TO their company
officers, and vet although some of the
sergeants and ~corporalS Of the battalion
were still confined in the guardhouse
when General DARLINGTON examined
them, nearly two months after the raid,
he could not obtain a scintilla of evil
dence of the raid or plot. II they were
implicated their obduraCv was remark
able in the face Of certain discharge and
disgrace. The President is not willing
to give them or any man in the battalion
the benefit of the doubt. He says:
" Incidentally. | may add that the soldiers OF
longest service and highest position who suffered
because Of the order, 50 far from being those who
deserve most sympathy deserve least. for they
are the very men upon whom we should be able
especially TO rely to prevent mutiny and murder"
But suppose that they were asleep
when the firing began at midnight. az
many Of them declared in their affida-
Wits. The President Hoes not think that
this discharge from the service was
a punishment" He rightly holds that
the penalty for a soldier who took part
in such a murderous raid should be death;
punishment only less severe ought to
be melted out TO those who have aided
and abetted mutiny and murder and
treason by refusing to help in their de-
lection" But what of the men, possibly
a hundred and more, who did not aid
and abet?
On the afternoon of August l3-the
raid occurred at midnight-the Mayor
Of Brownsville called upon Major PEN
ROSE and told him that the townspeople
were greatly excited by the story that a
soldier had seized a white woman by the
hair on the public street, and the Mayor
said he would not be responsible for the
consequences unless the assailant were
discovered. Major PENRosE promised
to keep his soldiers Off the streets and at
s and 0 o'clock sent out patrols. Every
mar in the regiment must have heard Of
the ~precaution and understood its mean
ing. II, then, at midnight a score Of SOL
diers left the barracks TO shoot up" the
town, is it at all likely that they took
their comrades in the battalion, and
especially the non-commissiOned officers,
into their confidence? The presumption
is that the great body Of the battalion
could shed no light on the raid.
The precedents advanced by Mr..
ROOSEVELT for his order Of discharge
are so flimsy that it would be better to
stand upon the constitutional power
which he claims. The letter of General
A. B. NETTLEToN which he has reproduced
in support OF the order is mere emotional
rhetoric and contains not a shred of
evidence.
The arrangements now making by the
War Department to reenlist those of the
discharged men who prove their inno-
cence can be regarded only as an anti
climax to the dismissal of the battalion
without honor from the service.

Attorney General Birds opin-
ion to the effect that primary
school money cannot be loaned
or mingled with other school
funds but that it can be deposited
in reliable banks and that every
dollar of the amount received
from the state must be devoted to
teachers wages. is in full harm
ony with the requirements of
the department of public instruc
ton in that direction. There has
heretofore been a laXity on the
part of school officers through
out the state in the matter of
complying with the requirements
accompanying the pri N ar y
school funds which, the larger
payments on that account now
being made make serious and i'm.
portant. 1t is probable that this
situation will be made, the basis
of an appeal to the people,
through new constitutional pro
vision, to make some decided
change affecting the primary
school funds.

The increase of more than
twentythree million dollars in
the savings deposits of the peo-
pie of this state during the past
year indicates a provision for
the future which will go very far
in the direction of maintaining
for Michigan the satisfactory
Industrial and commercial con,
ditions which state as a whole is
now enjoying. Savings deposits
form a foundation for plans and
hopes for the future which in
themselves are best possible as
surances as to continued growth
and activity. The progress
and prosperity Of Michigan is in
little danger Of being disturbed
SO long as the thrift and care of
its people is eloquently attested
to through largely increased saw

saw it's rough life. He visited the schools.
He studied our poorhouses.
He mastered especially the political
system and with a philosophical spirit he
examined into our social life. He went
home with ideas clear about many things,
but not yet was he ready to write The
American Commonwealth" He made
another visit and another study in 1881
and still another in lSS3-54.
After the third trip he was sure Of his
ground. In speaking of it afterward he
said that returning from his first trip he
had the usual swarm OF bold generaliza-
tons, half of which we're thrown overheard

One Of his earliest friends here was
Theodore Roosevelt, for whom he pre-
dicted in his writings a brilliant career.
Mr.. Bryce's last visit here was three years
ago. At that time he had the distinction
of being invited to sit beside the Speaker
in the national House of Representatives
during a session and was also entertained
at the White House.
In his work on the United States Mr.. Bryce
showed why it was that often m
place. but safe men are elected Presidents.
A brilliant man, he said, made too many
enemies to be a successful candidate for the
Presidency at the polls.
He explained how it was that tho people

They told how Indiana was going to advo-
cate the election of a man whom he had
never heard Of simply because he was from
Indiana. He expressed surprise that a
well known man Of public affairs should
not be favored, and the Indiana men said
that the man came from a State whose
vote was already sure for the party and,
therefore, his name could not be consid-
cred.
Mr.. Bryce was specially eve or the
failure of municipal government in the
United States and he denounced Tammany
rule in New York. II is no secret that he
had the help OF Seth Low in preparing
the chapters on Tammany misrule. He
said OF the misrule Of our cities:
There is not a city with a population
exceeding 2OO, 900 where the poison germs
have not sprung into vigorous life; and in
acme OF the smaller ones. down TO 10 1000.
IL needs no microscope to note the results
Of their growth"
In speaking OF the ring in New York.
he said:
