4 NEW GENERAL.

The appointment by Governor Hughes Of a
| chief of artillery TO rank as brigadier general
! carries into execution one Of the important
features of the military law which went into
effect last May. The artillery arm of the Ma
tional Guard Of the State of New York was con-
fined until 4 short time ago to six batteries OF
| light artillery with headquarters in Manhattan.
The Bronx. Brooklyn and Binghamton. The
citizen soldlery had no part in coast defence
which was intrusted exclusively TO the regular
service. With the Spanish war. however, the
need of a reserve for that arm OF the service
became evident and in 1860 the 18th Regiment
which had been organized in 1S4I but dis
banded-e1cept one battalion-in 1898. re
organized as a heavy artillery regiment, form
ing the nucleus of a new branch of the service.
In January of this year an order was issued
which transformed the Sth and 9th into artillery
regiments and to-day these three organizations
have about twenty-five hundred men on their
rosters or about One-sixth Of the states troops.
Up to the present time the coast artillery has
been attached 10 the headquarters staff, like
the signal corps, the cavalry and the engineers.
but the appointment Of chief, in keeping with
the provisions of the Wainwright law, will
make the big gun men an independent body.
The chief will have the rank of brigadier gen
eral, but his functions will be unlike those of
the four other brigaders in the state guard.
He VIII have no stan ana no brigade. ShSges-
tons on his part to the management of
his department will have 10 be submitted for
approval 10 the military council, which con-
sists OF the major general commanding the
state forces the commander of the states naval
forces the adjutant general and six officers ap-
pointed by the Governor. of whom one must be
4 brigadier general and five field officers.
While all branches of the states troops are
gradually adopting. as far as is practicable.
regular army regulations. to which end the
joint manUuyres have been great aid the
importance of uniformity is nowhere else so
evident as in tie coast defence service SO that,

MR- RRYAN IN NEW LERSEY.

To-day is New Jersey Day for Mr.. Bryan.
He will spend most Of its hours in that part of
1.-The enemy's country" as the guest of men who
bitterly opposed his nomination He will make
his first speech IN that state in this campaign
at Washington Park. Gloucester City. the spot
inseparably associated with Duke Thompson
and those racing and gambling performances
which filled the cup Of wrath to oyerfiowng
and caused the Democratic party 10 be swept
from power. He viii be conducted and ex-
hibited about the state under the charge of
that faction of the Democratic party which
prevented New Jersey votes from being cast
for his nomination and which has striven to
drive his friends from party councils. At the
chief meeting which he will address he will be
introduced by enc of his comrades in defeat
the man who was beaten in the GOvernorship
campaign Of last year.
Mr. Bryan may possess a sufficient modicum
of Mark Tapleyism 10 enable him TO extract
some satisfaction and encouragement from his
observations and experiences in New Jersey,
and may thus even be moved 10 regard this as
red letter day in his calendar. If so. we may ad
mire his buoyant optimism, but must certainly
discredit his judgment II is true that in Presi-
Dental elections since 1860 New Jersey has
gone Democratic seven times and Republican
only four times. But most of the Democratic
majorities were very small and the largest Of
them decidedly smaller than the smallest
of the Republican Eajorities; while in the
elections since Mr.. Bryan came 10 the head of
the Democratic party the Republican najorities
lave been overwhelming. They were 1862 In
1886. sj6S99 ia 1850 and S0.59S in 1864
There is no perceptible reason for expecting
the state to repudiate these noteworthy judg-
ments Of the last three elections. New Jersey
sentiment on national issues has not changed
1t 10 as strongly opposed to what Mr.. Bryan

DPOUTH AND FLOOD.

The statement Is made that within a circle
of about a hundred miles radius from the Guy
of Pittsburg the present drouth has already III
sicted losses amounting TO S20.0OO,OOO, and is
adding TO that sum 100000 day Ii is quite
ncssi5Ie that these estimates are not materiaii!
exaggerated The damage has been done not
merely nor chiefly to crops, but TO lndustriai
establishments of many kinds, Including mines
and coke ovens involving TO some extent pi'o-
tically the entire population
1t is of peculiar interest to recall that only
q few months ago there came from the same

in the aggregate at many Millions ana those
reports also unhappily, were substantially COT
rect That region, one OF the richest IN lhe
United States. has alternated between uestruc-
tive floods and probably still more destructive
drouth. and there is an ominous and depressing
possibility Of a repetition of the process In any
future year.
Meantime there are those who still resist
on petty. technical and Fictitious grounds, the
proposaI to create great forest reserves In the
Appalachian Mountain range. 1t Is not, OF
course to be pretended that the conservation or
forests would prevent heavy rainfall at some
seasons or lack of precipitation at others But
II would provide efficient storage facllltles 10

water cut gradually all through the summer 30
that even If the farms were parched with

1t is probably we'll within bounds OF reason
to estimate that a forest system, which for the
whole series of Atlantic Coast states would
cost less than this one years floods and drouln
have cost the Pttsburg district, would nave
lessened that cost by more than hal1 ana

ordered to serve with the regulars can easily

honor which. after fifty years of service, has

orEER "HIGHER CRITICISM"

Colonel Watterson. who has always had a
weakness for a pTiOri argument has undertaken
to demonstrate from internal evidence that
the Cleveland article on the campaign of 1908.
recently published in The New York Times
and other newspapers, was spurious we cannot
say that we are greatly impressed with the
profundity of the colonel's method. He uses
no recondite literary tests such as are resorted
TO bv the pundits who prove that Bacon wrote
Shakespeare or that HOmer's Iliad is only a
mosaic of verses passed along from one rhapso-
dist to another The colonel has no time for
such critical niceties. He seems TO think that
he can decide intuitivey what Mr. Cleveland
was and was not capable Of thinking and say
ing. In recent article in The Louisville
Courier-Journar' this. extract from Mr.. Cleve-
lands article was cited as plainly lacking au-
thenticity
The South has long taken stubborn foolish
pride in its enlistment under the Democracy,
and has stood Ike rock in its partisanshlp
On its face impossible, cries Colonel Waiter
SON. And why? He answers:
II is simply inconceivable that after the sup
port Mr. Cleveland received from the Southern
neople-thrice their nominee for President and
twice elected President Of the United States by
thern-he should. without re.evance or reason
thus rebuke and insult them for holding to the
only party standing between them and federal
oppression and negro rule. party that had
twice made him President and in its last ma
tional convocation had most sisnaly honored
his memory.
Colonel Watterson simply refuses TO accept
what he considers "nconceivable." Other per
sons may think that Mr.. Cleveland was merely
expressing common political truth. He prob
ably realized after the exhibitions given by
the South in 1852, 1896. 1900 and 194-rushing
from one extreme of political opinion TO another
and sacrificing its beliefs and ideas 10 the po-
litical exigency of the moment-that partisan
ship was maintained at the expense both of
reason and practical interest. Why should he
not say that the South has often stood in its
own light? Certainly only on the untenabe
theory that favor once received must blind
the recipient forever to faults in the character
