Another Warship Added

WASHINGTON, Nov 5.-Another

now in Mexican waters was an
nounced by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels to-day, when he said that the
armored cruiser Pittsburg, now en-
route to Guayamas, supposedly to re-
lieve the California, will remain on
the west coast, but that the Califor-
mia also will remain at her present
berth. The Pacific fleet in Mexican
waters will consist Of the armored
cruisers California, Maryland and
Pittsburg, and the gunboat Annap-

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Voters of
New York have humbled and strip
ped Tammany Hall of its power by
electing John Purroy Mitchell, the
Fusion nominee, mayor by plurality,
according to revised returns, of about
100000. Mitchers strength carried
through the balance Of the Fusion
ticket.
The result is regarded a great vic
tory for William r. Hearst, who lent
all his personal strength and that of
his newspapers to beat Tammany.
Far-reaching polite results are
expected to come from the election.
Predictions were made to-day that
the Democratic organization in this
State will be completely overhauied
and that Charles F.. Murphy will DE
eliminated as political factor N
the future.
The toga of leadership is expected
20 fall Upon the shoulders OF United
States Senator James A. O'Gorman,
which means that the Wilson faction
in the Democratic p2 rty would assert
dominance.
There was an overthrow through
out the State. The Republicans Sc
cured control of the Assembly, which
will give that party absolute control
Of the next Legislature This puts
the Empire State in the position Of
having a Democratic executive, but

If this country ever had occasion to
fear railroad domin4tiGp it certainly
need do so no longer. The carriers are
absolutely under the guidance of the

it drives with firm hand and taut

opers. To force them into bankruptcy
would not only be ruinous to them but
to the nation as well. The demand is
constant for better service, better

Judpe CulIen's Vote

Il am constrained to find" said
Presiding Judge Cullen, in casting his
vote in the Sulzer impeachment case,
"that the respondent did take advant-
age of his nomination and candidacy
for office to seek to enrich himself
personally by diverting contributions
which he received for campaign pur-
poses.
Il find that the respondent know
ingly signed false campaign state
ment. And | find that he did verify
this statement under oath, knowing it
to be false.
Il must, however, vote not guilty"
Judge Cullen is a man without stai
and above reproach. He voted con-
scientiously. His ballot was a lawyers 5
tribute to the law. 1t was cast full in
the face of his Judgment.
No one is inclined to criticise Judge
Cullen. But what the public wants to
know is why should the law demand

Larger Army Needed

| When it is remembered that large
part of the United States army is sta
toned away from the mainland-in
the Philippines and the Hawaiian
Islands, to say nothing of Alaska and
the Panama canal zone-a very con-
siderable increase would be in order.
1t is understood that Secretary of
War Garrison is in favor of an in
crease. The enlisted strength of the
army today is about $4,000. A large
proportion must be kept in the
Philippines, and present conditions
call for large increase of regulars
in Hawaii. f
1t is sincerely hoped that war be-
tween Japan and the United States
will never occur, but there will always
be possibility of such a war. The
United States must be prepared. In
view of the possibility of a conflict
with our Oriental neighbors, Hawaii
is more important than ever. When
Hawaii was annexed to the United
States only a few of our regulars
were considered necessary there, but
now $4,000 or 10000 men will be
needed in the islands as a safeguard.
The Panama canal has made the Ha-
waiian Islands still more important.
Leaving out the question of the possi-
bility of a war with Japan, large
military post must be maintained in
the Hawaiian Islands on account of
the canal
Had the United States army been
so per cent larger than it was when
the war with Spain was declared, this
country would have been saved mil
lions of dollars in money, and many
lives would have been saved. Death
from disease in the volunteer service
made large total, and the pension
rolls of the United States have been
materially increased on account of the
large number of volunteers called out
by the Spanish-American trouble.
Should this country be engaged in
war with Mexico in the near future,
40 more than $4,000 regulars would
be available. The National Guard and
unframed militia would be called into
service; but taking a far-reaching
view, the cost to this country would
be enormous. Double the number of
regulars now available in the United
States, making, say an actual fight
ing force of 10000, and we could then
do without volunteers. 1t has been
the habit of both democrats and
republicans to look upon a large
standing army as inconsistent with
the general policy of the republic;
but from purely practical point of
view, larger standing army than we
now have is certainly demanded. Eff
ficiency is the great need of today and
until we have an army adequate for all
contingencies, we are not fulfilling
the ordinary requirements of modern
conditions.
