A Dissolving Army.

Lieut. Col f. F. Glenn, Twenty
third Infantry, who has hitherto distin-
guished himself by varied activity, has
now engaged the War Departments at
tention, if not solicitude, by some ofhand
criticisms Of the army situation, in an
address delivered Monday afternoon be-
fore the members of the New York City
Chapter of the Daughters of tho Ameri-
can Revolution. He described the trouble
Of 1898 as an opera bouffe war" and al
luded to people Of Cuban or Spanish
blood as incapable of respecting personal
liberty or the property rights Of others.
He advised the seizure Of Cuba, or, at
least, our retention of control in the
island He exposed the lack Of national
defense. especially on the Pacific Coast
and made some familiar references TO the
activity and prominence of Japan in the
Pacific He ripped up the system of mill
tary rule which makes it necessary for a
regiment to spend so much time In the
Philippines, and with not enough time
at home to recuperate from the disasters
Of service in the tropics One of the prin-

the arm of the military establishment TO
which he belongs, should be doubled"
1t is interesting 10 note in connection
with Lieut.. Col Glenn's remarks that the
Twenty-third Infantry. Of which he is the
lieutenant colonel. goes to the Philippines
next month with a paucity of officers in
its commissioned personnel. Lieut. Col
Glenn himself was ordered back to the
regiment, when he expected to have re-
mained on recruiting duty. Two of the
three majors are not with the command,
and nine of the captains in command of
companies are on detached duty. Five of
the first lieutenants and two Of the sec
ond heutenants are similarly situated.
OF one company. the captain, first lieu
tenant, and second lieutenant will not ac-
company the regiment. This makes a gen
eral shutting up of officers in order TO OBJ
tain enough to exercise command of COM
panies. added to which is the interesting
fact that the regiment is destined to go to
the Samar district, in the Philippines, where
there is bound to be more or less ineipi
ent disturbance, calling for a full regi-
ment, with its maximum complement of
officers. 1t has been impossible to provide
this regiment with the officers it needs.
owing TO the large number of army Off
GERS who are on detached service. The
annual report of the Secretary of War
shows that no less than $50 officers, of
all arms, are engaged in work which
compels them to be absent from their
line commands. The situation has led

Clean Away the Cohwebs.

From the Chicago Rscord-Herald.
It is of the greatest public Importance
that railroads be made liable for accidents
TO their employees due TO any negligence
or error of any Of their officers. employees.
or agents or due to defects Of equipment.
The best way TO establish such response
bility is through a Federal law, for in this
way alone can the responsibility be made
uniform, as it should be. If Congress
cannot accomplish all that is necessary
by enacting a new law this winter. it is
to be hoped that in the course of time d
more progressive spirit will enable the
Supreme Court to clean away some of
the cobwebs in which the confused argu-
ments of the majority members were en-
tangled in the recent decision, and that
then a more consistent Interpretation Of
the scope of the interstate commerce
clause will be possible.

wherein the Panics Differ.

From the Baltimore News.
AS distinguished in particular, from
the great panic of 1893, there are at least
three factors of fundamental Importance
which distinguish the present situation
from that of fourteen years ago. The
first is that there is absolutely no doubt
or distrust as TO the money standard Of
the country; the second that there is a
great surplus in the Treasury, and the
third that the agricultural population Of
the country. instead Of being, as it was
then, in distress and debt and groaning
over the low price of products. is in a
state Of extraordinary property, is out of
debt. and has for years been getting
splendid returns for It's industry.

viding for an addition Of 6l2 officers TO the
number already authorized for the army.
Whether or not Lieut.. Col Glenn's re-
marks are agreeable to the military au-
thorities-and it is imaginable that the
officer comes within the necessity Of Of
fetal admonition for his loquacity-lt re-
mains a fact that the army needs COM
missioned officers quite as much as 1t
needs enlisted men, Young men who are
doing well in civil life see nothing to at
tract them in the army. and the soldier
who has served an enlistment is very
glad to get out, and stay out, with the
result that there are fewer and fewer
old trained soldiers, and an alarming de-
crease in the number Of re-enlistments.
Lieut. Col. Glenn may have overstepped
the bounds of discretion, but he has only
publicly expressed a sentiment which IS
entertained by his associates in the mill
tary establishment. that something should
speedily be done for the protection of the
army.
