The HAY Army Bill Amendment.

The most encouraging features OF the House
military bill the amendments. particularly as
these amendments seem to bear the stamp either
OF the Senate military bill the General Staff OF
the army. The amendment proposed by Represent
tativc Augustus P Gardner yesterday, and adopted
BY the House over the protests OF Chairman Hay,
whose name the bill carries. is far and away the
most mcrtorious feature OF the entire bill, and
strikes directly at the faulty theory upon which
the proposed army organization is promised.
Mr.. Gardeners amendment permits an enlisted
man in the army, who is due for three years
active service with the colors before passing into
the reserve for four years, go into the reserve
al the end OF year upon the recommendation
OF his troop company or battery commander, GER
tifying as to his proficiency Practically this same
provision is carried in the Chamberlain or Senate
bill
No attempt has been made to dispute the
statements OF high administrative officers Of the
army, that the present army represents the cx-
trcmc size can keep recruited in peace times.
In effect, they told Mr. Hay that, unless the army
is made moro attractive for young men, by short
ening the term OF enlistment and offering other
inducements, not only will it be impossible to find
men for a larger army, but it will be extremely
difficult to maintain the army at its present wholly
inadequate strength.
These same statements made to Senator
Chamberlain and his colleagues on the other mill
tary committee. The Senate bill testified to the
sincerity of it's trainers by carrying provisions
which obviously will make the army attractive to
young men who do not want to make a profession
Of soldering. but to whom a year of intensive
training with opportunity to save money early
in life; would be attractive.
The Hay bill testified quite pontedly to the
insinccrity OF the majority membership by carry
ing no such provision The adoption of the Gard
ncr amendment, therefore. might be taken as an
evidence of change OF heart on the Democratic
side, an indication that some has seen the
light"

Damaging Reports.
by JOHN ID. BARRY.

In Boston used to meet very charming
lady, noted for her humor She had habit,
curious, and yet not unfamiliar of saying to her
friends, with little laugh: "Oh, heard some
thing awfully funny about you the other day.
Naturally she would make her listener interested,
perhaps excited. She would be urged to tell
ABOUT that awtully funny thing For while she
would be very coy. She would shake her head
ana INSIST that she could net bctray confidence
finally she would explain, always with that little
laugh that Mrs. Smith or Mr. Jones had made
remark all the more pointed for being witty.
which, with evident enjoyment, she would quote.
In this way, during the course of wear,
imagine that this lady accomplished great deal
OF mischief. If she did not precpitate actual
quarrelS' she started those quiet antagonisms that
may be SO deadly, that, working nsidiously, may
seek subtle occasions for the expression of i'll
feeling.

yield; the end could not come until one
or the other was overwhelmed; the South
mad been overwhelmed; and the most
terrible war of modern times was over.
Statesmen and patriots might well look
about them and see with a sort OF dis
may what there was to be reconstruct

national life.
The Union had been saved: 1t was yet
to be rehabilitated
Mr. LincoIn's death made MIR. johnson
President
The FIRST tasks of peace were to be
hardly less difficult than the tasks OF
war had been: and the party which had
triumphed was left without executive
leadership at their very beginning
Mr.. johnson was a man who, like Mr.
Lincoln himself, had risen from very
humble origins to posts of trust and
distinction; but his coarse fibre had
taken no polish, no refinement in the
process He stopped neither to under.
stand nor to persuade other men. but
struck forward with crude. uncompromis-
ing force for his object attempting mas
terry without wisdom of mOderation
Wisdom of no common order was call
ed for in the tasks Immediately before
him. What effect had the war wrought
upon the federal system? What was
now the status OF the States which had
attempted secession and been brought
to terms only by two million armed men
sent into the field and the pouring out
of blood and treasure beyond all reckon.
ing? Were they again States Of the
Union. or had they forfeited their state
hood and become conquered provinces
merely. to be dealt with all at the will
of Congress? II conquered pu..es sions
how and when were they to be made
States once more and the old federal
circle restored in it's integrity?
Mr.. Lincoln had made up his mind upon
these points with characteristic direct
ness and simplicity.

The end Of the civil war came with
every sign of sheer exhaustion and de-
spair.
Many a southern man had gone into
that terrible contest against his bet

Such men were a minority. here and

the cause they would rather have seen
indicated in some other way.
When those last days came they took
heart to acknowledge the Inevitable. and
to urge peace as a mere means to avoid
utter destruction. While they cried to
their rulers peace seemed to come al
most of itself.
The southern armies melted away
by wholesale desertion. There was moth
Ing to eat. there was next to nothing to
put into the guns themselves: the women
and children at home were starving
as well the mem in the camps, their
only helpers and protectors.
Ii was more than the human spirit
