The Artillery Bill.

Great good was accomplished for the ef-
iiciency OF the American army by tie re-
organization which followed the war with
Spain. Methods which that campaign
proved to be inefficient and obJolete were
discarded and the various corps were in
the main placed upon far more practi-
cable and scientific basis than had ever be-
fore been gained. But in the readjus tmen:s
some mistakes were made. They were in
eyitable in so sweeping an enterprise Since
the enactments which effected these
changes some amendments have been Sc
cured which have gone far toward estab-
fishing perfect balance between all the
parts Of the great military machine. One
such correction Is now being urged in be-
half of the artillery corps. BY the act OF
February , 1901. the re imentai orga niza-
ton of that branch of the service was abol-
ished and it was organized into corps of
I'D companies of coast artillery and thirty
batteries of field artillery. with ma ximum
enlisted strength of 1890. This measure

possible under the old formation. bat the

The Change in Persia.

There is no present reason to look for a
change OF conditions in Persia as the
suit of the death of Shah MuZaffer-ed-Dfn
and the succession OF his son, Mohammed
Au-Mirza. Prior to the shah's death Per-
STA had been placed upon the basis of
constitutional government and the her APP
parent had signified his approval of the
reforms. In December, ii is true. he fell
some what under the suspicion of the pro-
gTessve party by proposing change which
would render the senate of the new par
liamentary body under crown influence. He
Indignantly denied. however, that he was
reactionary, and in the Subsequent adjust

defense, is to become as highly effective as
it should be. One fault of the act of 1901
was that it combined into one corps two
arms of the service which have no tactical
relationship. the field and coast artillery.
Another was that it did not properly meet
the needs of these two arms in the matter
of officers. 1t also preserved for the coast
artillery the fixed company formation
which has been proved to be ineffective and
cumbersome. Beyond all other faults, how
ever. it failed to provide personnel for the

Hearst and Mcclellan.

That little word Gust has stirred New
York profoundly. While the talk about the
mayoralty election was confined to charges
about stuffing ballot boxes. using reporters
and falsifying the count. there was no
great excitement That sort of thing was
too familiar to cause more than flutter.
The town was used to that. Many people
considered it merely one means of retiring
from the field, and such people expected
Mr.. Hearst to drop his contention after a
few weeks.
Now the proposition is that Mr.. McClel-
IAN give up the cffice to which it is claimed
he was not elected. That causes New York
to sit up and take notice. Politicians and
lawyers, doctors and merchants. bankers
and manufacturers. Tom. Dick, and Harry.
are all aroused. Mcclellan out might mean
Hearst in. and with Hearst in what might
not happen? With Hearst in the deluge?
Not few sober minded people think So
The election in question was in some of it's
features unusual even for New York. A
campaign bitter as ever had been waged
had closed with party lines sagging in every
quarter of the city. Hearst. it was known,
was strong in Tammany circles. while Nc
Clellan was strong in republican circles

nent southern politician. democrat. who
had spent election day in New York. was

ed impressed with the claim that Mr.

pretty rough work done at home to carry
an election but nothing to approach Tam
many's work In its candidates behalf on
this occasion. He had evidently had his
eyes opened to the possibilities of can
vassing methods when In the hands of men
entirely tough
Mr.. Mcclellan is much stirred as any
of his friends. He will contest every move
of the Hearst people. His office is no bed
of roses. Many of the men who helped put
him there opposed to him. The
leader of Tammany Hall, who managed his
campaign. is his open and avowed
enemy. Mr.. Murphy. it is true. cannot sup
port the Hearst charges. for he himself is
to the mayors embarrassments they prob
ably give him a sort of pleasure. The
whole situation is such as could arise only
in New York and come to a complex ma
turty. And something more than the may
orally is at stake.
