Officers on Probation.

There is much to be said in favor Of
the proposed legislation which would es-
tablish a probationary period for army
and navy officers who are appointed from
civil life. This system exists In the case
Of the members of the Army Medical Re-
serve Corps and the acting assistant sur
geOns Of the navy. Appointments 20 those
branches. necessarily from civil life. after
certain professional qualifications have
been met. are so serving for period OF
from six months to one year. terminating
in final examination. that event. with
the preceding probation, woving fitness
for service with the regular establish
ment in a way which is afforded by no
other means. It is now contemplated by
the naval authorities to extend this sys-
TEN TO civilians who are appointed to the
Navy Pay Corps as assistant paymasters
and to the Marine Corps as second lieu
tenants. It is appreciated that a civilian
entering those branches may meet all
the requirements of any physical and
mental standard imposed and at the same
time possess an indefnable inaputude
which can only be disclosed by trial in
service.
This probationary period exists in the
case Of those young men who come from
West Point and Annapolis during the
four-year courses at the Military Academy
and the Naval Academy, when there is
ample opportunity TO discover defects
which may not be indicated by any
amount of qualifying examination. The
period in the case of those
whom it is now proposed to call acting
assistant paymasters and acting second
Iieutenants of the Marine Corps will be
a measure Of precaution which cannot
fail to be of benefit to the personnel Of
the Navy Pay Corps and the Marine
Corps The young man who is temper
amentally' undesirable ought to be
identified for that disqualIfying quality in
the period he is under observation, when
he is also receiving valuable instruction.

Cheering news comes TO the Democrats
Of the United States from Chile. William
Jennings Bryan has no thought of run

directly to this effect in cablegram.
1t is a waste of gray matter to forecast

a situation not dreamed of in our philose-
ply at present writing.

But when the supreme test comes, these
mercurial tendencies disappear A cool,
calm appraisement of men and measures
then ensues. Hysteria vanishes when the
election rolls around-when Judgment dag
comes, politically-and this great, growing
country at that crisis deals with the hard,
cold facts of the equation and casts it's
vote cautiously and accordingly.
Whatever we think of Mr. Bryan-and
we would fail to do him simple justice
without thinking well Of him-we must
be convinced now. all of us. that the
fates have decreed that he shall not be

The AIIigator's Tongue.

From an Exchange
On one occasion when travelling along
the west coast of Africa with an old
skipper who had known many mission
aries. but did not see the use of them,'
Bishop TaylOr-Smith was obliged 10 en-
dure a string of haunting questions, such
as What was the good of spouting at
Exeter Hali?" and What did mission
aries know. any way?"
At last the bishop could stand it no
longer. Turning to the skipper, he said
Il know you are an expert. Can you tell
me the length of an alligator's tongue?''

ponds on the length Of the alligator"

feet long. What would be the length
of its tongue?
Three feet was the answer
But the bishop. who had kept alligators
and watched their ways. knew better. 1T
