Wagner q Paradox.

As an artist Wagner had unequaled
genius. AS man, though generous,
temperate and virtuous to an unusual
degree, he also had extraordinary
faults. He was egotistical and proud,
prone to fierce enmities; he went to
extremes In everything. A living par
adox; impatient, irritable and nervous;
noble and petty; never made a man
more friends and more enemies. He
was worshiped and hated. Taken all
In all, musically he stands as the most
notable figure Of his age.-Dole's ga

THE MILITIAMAN'S
APPEARANCE

Beyond all doubt the militia system
in hits country is open to criticism and
no real friend of the National Guard
would attempt to be its thick and thin
defender, claiming for it a perfection
which it does not possess. 1t may
even be true that the National Guard
as at present constituted is a mighty
weak reed on which to lean; but there
is enough of real weakness to criticize
without dragging in all kind of minor
details, which while minor, make a
marked impress on the public mind,
while real strong points, less striking
il themselves, are entirely overlooked.
In recent summary of the Nation
al Guard mobilization on the border
appearing in widely read American
weekly, the point was made that it
was plainly evident that discipline was
very lax among the citizen soldiers
because their uniforms looked sloppy
and didn't have the hang of those
worn by the regulars. 1t may be adj
mitted that, other things being equal,
there is direct connection between
the appearance of soldier and the
discipline of his command; but so far
as the National Guard is concerned in
this instance, other things were not
equal for the most part.
1t is to be doubted if the discipline
of the First Vermont was inferior to
that of the average regular outfit;
Colonel Reeves, who passed years in
the regular service, says the Vermont
soldiers would not suffer by compari-
son with any regular regiment he was
ever with. Yet the First Vermont, so
far as being uniformed was concerned,
certainly, could not be claimed, even
by its keenest friends, to have been a
model of the military tailor's art. And
the reason is not difficult to be found.
The United States government was
not able properly to clothe the regi- |
ment, so far as giving it regular sol
dierly appearance was concerned.
Uniforms were dumped in to the quar-
termaster without regard for sizes
needed or asked for. The result was
that the men got what was given to
them in the matter of sizes; not what
they wanted or should have been CIV
en-. And so little men were going
around in uniforms far too large for
them; and of course they didn't have
that appearance which the magazine
writer says denotes strict soldierly
discipline.
The public is apt to put too much
stress on appearances; and especially
when the soldier and his uniform are
involved, and il is because of this that
The magazine in question did an in
Justice, unintentioned beyond doubt,
when it instanced the appearance of
the citizen soldier as a point against
MIN. In this particular instance it
was the government that was TO blame
'cr the appearance Of the soldier, not
Inc soldier himself nor the failure Of
his officers TO exact fitting discipline.
