know Of any political fad whatsoever that

Bryan became its chief apostle? The great
Nebraskan, we believe, is now at work
steadily for another nomination. He has
not said that he will not be a candidate for
a denomination. which is equivalent to say
ing that he win be a candidate, and we
know him so well that we have nominated
him, not because We believe i'm him, or be-
heve that the party under his leadership
could possibly gain a Victory, but because
we are satisfied that he will be the candi-

brate is the democracy and SO wholly in

Army Life.
New York Sun.
Adjutant-General Ainsworth REPORTS that
1893 enlisted men, or 4.N per cent deserted
from the army during the last fiscal wear.
as compared with 459 per cent the year be-
fore. AS the country has become more
prosperous the increase of assertions OF
itself Is not surprising, but that there
should be several thousand assertions from
an army with al authorized strength of
about 10000 men Excluding the Philippine
%scouts), particularly when there has been
an addition to army pay, is deplorable.
However, there has been some improve
ment in attachment to the service during
the fiscal year 1sO6-O6 there were s,25S de-
sertions, or "a per cent OF the compile
ment.
In a dispatch from Washington General
Ainsworth is quoted as saying that the
abolition Of the ~canteen, the monotony of
garrison life, the increasing amount of
work and study demanded Of a soldier, and
the ease with which remuneratiye employ
ment can be obtained in civil life, account
for the large number Of assertions. Ma
jor-General A. w. Greedy two years ago
included in his annual report as com
nander OF the Northern division ten reas-
ons why 30 many enlisted men took
French leave" The most potent OF all,
in our opinion, was excessive non-military
work about the posts. such work as a day
laborer ought to do in place Of a soldier.
The market wage for such work, which is
often distasteful and worse. is from a
dollar and a half to two dollars a day.
The soldier receives not much more than
fifty cents for this work and for being a
soldier too. He has his rations free, IL
may be urged. but General Greedy has told
US that in variety. II not in quality. the
soldiers rations are not as good as the
fare the day laborer can with
his wage.

Normal Schools.

The settlement of the dispute be-
tween the two contesting normal
boards has cleared the decks for an in
crease in the number Of normal schools
to be maintained by the state under
authority conferred by the recent Ne
braska legislature. For a third of a
century Nebraska got along with only
one school for the training of teachers,
but for several years has maintained
two such schools. The acquisition Of
two more normal schools will, there
fore, double the present equipment and
facilities and presumably double again
the expense Of maintenance.
The law for the acquisition of an ad-
ditional normal school in the western
part of the state provides an appropri-
alton Of $35, 900 to construct buildings
on a site containing not less than
eighty acres to be donated by the city
or town in which 1t is located. 1t goes
without saying that $4,000 will not
erect much of a building and at best
will leave nothing with which to run
the school when ready for business.
The second normal school law APP
p%ropriates $50 900 for the purchase OF
buildings, grounds and equipment Of
the Wayne Normal college, the pre-
sumption being hat there will be lit
tie, If anything, left when the purchase
price is paid, so that even after acquir-
ing this school no maintenance fund
will be available.
The appropriations for the two nor
NAL schools now in operation, exclusive
of permanent improvements, to carry
them through the current biennium
were as follows:
