The Senate bin for the REORGANIZATION
OF the army in three provisions makes
the army more attractive for enlisted
men. First II opens up West Point To
enlisted men making an allowance of one
candidate for every regiment of the
regular army. These are to be in ad-
ditton to cadets who are appointed nv,
the President and members Of Conrrass
Inc War Department is authorized to
prepare the regulations under which thew
are to take the examination.
Tor some time there has been sd-
Nocates in the regular army OF a plan
by which enlisted men could enter West
Point Two or three years service in
the army would be an excellent prep
arauon for course at West Point. An
ambitious young man in the army could
find time to study for the examination
and officers would be inclined to give
them instruction.
Then there is q provision in the Senate
bill which gives a preference in the civil
service positions under the War Depsrt-
ment TO the enlisted men of the army
/ II authorizes officers to conduct the
civil service examinations for enlisted
men and upon their certificates an en-
listed man is entitled TO a civil service
appointment as II he had passed the
regular civil service examination. The
President is also authorized TO appaint
enlisted men who take these examins-
tons to civil positions that are not under
the War Department
A provision for the detail Of a thousand
serseants to the National Guard is ais
I carried by the Senate bill. This will
open the way for promotion Of enlisted
men to non-commissioned officers. The
increase in the army will also make more
vacancies IN the on-commissioned
grades for enlisted men all Of which
will create a demand for a high class
Of enlisted men in the army. Under the
Senate bill a large proportion of the
veteran enlisted men of the present amy
will become non-COmmissioned officers.

When they conceived that the time had
come to put their right OF withdrawal
from the Union into practice. the south
ern statesmen showed at once, with a
manifest naturslness and sincerity, what
generation they were OF.
They acted with an all but unconscious
instinct. upon the principles of rISS.
They conceived the unmaking of the
constitution to be. not an act Of revolu-
ton or of lawless change, but simple.
though 1t were solemn. legal transaction,
like the formal abrogation Of a great
treaty. to be effected by the same means
by which it had originally been adopted.
South Carolina. who led in the fatefuI
business, adjourned her legisla ture and
called constitutional convention to-
gether; a body like that which had de-
clared her assent to the constitution in
the far year 1888 By formal ordinance
of that convention the ordinance OF the
convention OF 17SS was repealed, and the
connection of the State with the Union
authoTitatively severed.
That was her act of secession" taken
in the highest sovereign fashion known to
her law and tradition. AS in 17ss. SO now
there was no submission of the action of
the convention to the vote of the people
for ratification. A representative conven-
ton was as sovereign in South Carolina
in 1860 as in 17SS
The other States followed her example
as of course. Their theory of constitu-
tional right and practice was Identical
with hers.
Each State in its turn called a conven-
ton, as in the old days of the forma-
ton Of the Union. and committed to II as
of course the sovereign determination OF
the political connections of the common
wealth. Each convention in turn re-
pealed the ordinance Of the convention
which had stood in its place seventy years
before
And then. because the old process was
being reversed and a government not
made but set aside. the same conventions
went on to take up the task of reconstruc-
ton. that another government. more to
their liking. might be set up in the place
Of the familiar one now rejected.
