Increase the Army. aencrnl Allies wants conercss to spend $15,000,000 next year on coast de fense, an Increase of $12,500,000 over tho average nnnual outlay for this pur pose; and he also wants power put In the president's hands to Increase tho size of tho regular army at his dis cretion to 70,000 men, or one soldier for every 1,000 civilians, il'ortly In Justifi cation of this recommendation for an Increase in tho nrmy, General Miles dwells on tho necessities of Alaska filnco the rush to tho gold fields. Ho says tliero are about 20,000 Indians In tho territory, many of them armed with modern guns. While they are peaceful now, tho history of tho set tlement of the west, ho says, teaches there may be trouble with the native.". Iln points to the need of military roads and telegraphs, tho bridging of rivers nnd other pioneer work In a new terri tory, and ndvises tho establishment of several military posts in Alaska. He nl.o notes bv Inference tho possibility of friction with foreign nations over questions either pending or likely at any time to arise, and asserts with much truth that the best guarantee of peace is preparedness for war. Here Is his exact language on this point: "Although the general desire of our people Is to maintain a condition of peace with all nations, and tho policy of tho government Is one of good will and peaceful relations with nil others, yet nothing could bo more Injudicious than to remain in n condition of in security and purmlt tho lives of mil lions and tho accumulated wealth ot many generations to be destroyed or endangered by any foreign power with which we nro liable to come Into con tact, nnd the general plan for defense which has been ndoptcd by the gov ernment should be steadily pursued until the nation is In u condition of security and safety which a duo re gard to self-preservation would de mand." This position for some reason is not a popular one In this country. The American people In many respects are Improvident, putting off to the last minute precautions which should have been taken first. Because the regular nrmy as a rule is not busy In serious work there is an impression among perhaps a majority of civilians that It is a kind of ornamental affair, of small practical value nnd therefore not to be increased as tho country's growth and spread of Interests call for a pro portionate expansion of military in surance. This sentiment overlooks the fact that the army stands In much tho same relation to the country that the municipal fire department does to the city. Its hours of battle are few as compared with its hours of ease, but when It Is needed to do battle it is needed badly. And It is the same with coast fortifications. They are not re quired often, but when required tho demand for them is urgent. The money spent on them Is a cheap form of Insurance compared with the risk Involved in neglecting them. It Is high time these facts were appreciated by our people. Arbitration treaties nro admirable In their way but guns nnd soldiers arc not yet obsolete nor are they likely to be during tills or the succeeding generation. There Is trouble in tho Ttelchsrath! President Abrahamovics, In ndditlon to tho burden of his somewhat tangled surname, has been designated by the Irreverant members of the 'Rath as a "Polish scoundrel," "swindler," "blackguard," and "Radlnl eunech." Judging from reports of the recent pro ceedings ot the Austrian house of law makers. President Abrahamovics would bo justified in substituting a long-barreled duck-gun loaded with No. 2 shot, for the gavel, when presiding at future meetings. St. Clair McKelwny. tho admirable and well-poised editor of the Brooklyn Kagle, intlmntes thnt the New York newspapers, taken as a class, present now and then strong evidences of a deficiency In cither principle or com mon sense or both. These nro not his exact words but they comprehend what wo take to bo his meaning, nnd un doubtedly ho is right. What a novelty one resolutely honest nnd courageous newspaper would be in a communis like New Yoitl Put there Is nn addi tional thought also worthy of consid eration In tills connection. Arc there enough honest nnd courageous men In New York to support one strictly con scientious newspaper? If there wore the town would no doubt soon have one. The Great American Uamc. The agony Is over. On tho frozen turf 'ncath leaden bklcs the heroes have struggled for the laurels that may be worn for tho next twelve months. Their pathway litis been strewn with gore! They mav not have been per mitted to grasp the honors ot tho victor. Put there Is no question Hint In the struggle for supremacy all have been in earnest. In this respect tho great American game of football s probably without a parallel, in oiner amusing occupations It Is often con tended thnt the game lias been given nway; but football Is a struggle that Is made purely for glory, and none were ever accused of shrinking at n critical moment or playing into the honda of the foe. Though they may hove been vanquished In Ignominious haste; though the tangled locks on many a classic brow may have been trailed In tho dust like the broom of the white-wlngd street sweeper; yet the .'cms and bruises that have to a certain extent been endured In win should entitle tho martyr to college pride to the respect of his fellows. "Whatever the result of nn encounter like those which claimed the nltentlon of every young American with a drop or so of sporting blood in ills veins yes terday, it is certain that the athletes who were obliged to postpone the pleasure of wearing the medals for another year went down fighting hard. The amount of attention that a mod ern gam ot football attracts is often astonishing. The fact that nn encoun ter that lasts less than an hour be tween a lot of enthusiastic young col lege boys can arouse a feeling of ad vance Interest which Is kept un for weeks is often tho subject for sarcasm and tho dyspeptics are prone to mor alize In a cvnical manner upon the passion for the game which for a time apparently becomes of more Import ance In a college than tho regular studies. Another class deplores the brutality of the amusement nnd In- ments tho fact that th'e games are often marked by features that are vul guarly termed "scraps." They contend that it is the "scrapping" features that make the game to uttractlvo to tho masses. Tills may be true. Tho Amer ican people certainly do possess a vein of conVbatlvoness. It has been Inher ited. Tho admiration for physical cour age 11.13 ever been great In this land of the free., A spirit of combativoness was rife in '". It li'a? been prominent In affairs of a similar nature since. While brutality is not to bo encour aged to an extent that will tend to low er tho standard of civilization, there seems no reason why the spirit of '7C should not be allowed at least once or twice n year to find vent in a foot ball game. It is not a cood plan to smother entirely the inclination to light. Lot tho spirit of admiration for physlcnl and military achievements be fostered within reaon. All honor, therefore, to the blood-stained hi roes of tho football field! further Improvements nrc contemplat ed. It Is Interesting now to recall the fact that our Democratlo free trade friends used to assert the Impossibility of establishing by tariff protection a domestic tin plnte Industry. Put thla Isn't the- first time that their anti-protection croaklngs have been exploded by tho logic of events. Thanksgiving proclamations linvo been nn nutumnnl fenture for such a length of time that It would seem no remarkably novel or unique stvlo of composition could bo devised in pro mulgating them to tho world. It ap pears, however, that the governor of Indiana lias boon able to nchlovo a new thing under the sun In the way of his Thanksgiving announcement, but It is rather n. pity that ho and the pub lie at largo nro so exercised 0'cr the fact thnt Governor Plngrco recognizes a good tiling when ho sees It and con sidered that official document worth copying for the edification ot the Mlclilganders. They should appreciate, tho fact tint Governor Plngrco is a very busy man and that he cannot bo expected to manage potato patches, In vest In nsahalt lakes, superintend training shins, keep an eye on Argen tine nnd incidentally run the state of Michigan and also bother to get up unique Thanksgiving proclamations, lie no doubt believes In tho Emer sonian theory that next to the author of a rood renhmco is the first quoter ot It, nnd ns thero Is no copyright on Thanksgiving proclamations ho should not be so enthusiastically condemned. clerks nnd other ficstoftlce oilifjinla who were left out of the Inst order within tho classified service.

Bryan stntes that ho ex pects to remain In politics all of his life. Billy's faith Is commendable, but from present appearances ho Is more apt to spend a greater portion ot his existence hanging on to tho rear plat form by his teeth It ho Is really In earnest In tho avowed intention ot oc cupying tho political coach. Chancellor Day has placed on record his approval of tho general tendency of foot ball, which ho conceives to be toward the development of fortitude and self-control. Tho same might with equal truthfulness bo said of boxing, but society In some things Is evidently Inclined to bo squint-eyed. General Weyler states that If ho had been allowed to remain In Cuba until May next the war would have been ended. Tho general very wisely ne glects to say who would bo on top at the end of the war. Thero Is now no longer any need for the average college student to arrange his hair after the style originally In troduced by tho skye terrier. Without doubt more money and less rhetoric In behalf of Cuba would speed the day of Its deliverance. Prom tho Washington Star. Tho peoplo of tho United States linvo been lecclvlug within tho past few years some very sharp lectures on tho sub ject of Jingoism. They are berated upon tho chargo of possessing, and encourag ing tho growtlt of. what In tho vernacular Is called "a scrappy disposition." In somo quarters they aro characterized ns swag gerers nnd blusterers, quick to tnko of fense und loud and bluff In proclaiming their purposes. They have likewise re ceived somo solemn warnings, to tho ef fect that If they do not mend their man ners In denting with foreign countries they will get themselves Into serious trouble may, In fact, get themselves soundly licked before they know their danger. These lectures nnd warnings nro of no irrent moment, but ns our modo of lenllng with foreign nffalrs Is under dis cussion, a comparison with tho modes or other countries In meeting such questions Is fairly to bo Invited. And It so Imp pens that nt tho present time thero are thrco llvo Instances thnt suit tho pur pose admirably. o Turkey, ns all the world knows, al though triumphant over Greece, Is un der the control of the lending powers of Europe Kncouraged a little by her re cent successes, she had decided on put ting her navy on nn Improved footing. But Ilussla promptly objected. Turkey owes her part of the old war Indemnity, nnd was Informed by liupsla that Imme diate payment of tho money would bo Insisted upon if anything further was heard about HtrcndhenltiT the Turkish navy. Russia noes not need tho money. It has been owing ior twenty years. But Russia by this threat brings tho prompt reply from Turkey that the naval pro ject has been postpone. Austria comes forward nt the sumo time, and, taking advantage of the same situation, calls Turkey to book for some offenses com mitted by Turkish officials against Aus trian olllcliiK Turkey, probably In tlio wrong, but, right or wrong, In no con dltlon to parley, makes nn humble bow, and Austria smoothes her wrinkled front. o Several German missionaries nre killed In a province in China, nnd several Ger man officials nre maltreated, nnd German marines are promptly landed and the German flag run up at a very Important port In China. The Chinese complain of this notion ns being both hasty nnd un just. They claim not to linvo hail tlmo even to Investigate the charges. But tho German forces nre still In possession of tho Chinese city. It Is not to the pur pose to ciitlelso Russia, or Austria, or Germany for these things, but only to point out how other countries deal with questions affecting their own dignity or Interests abroad. They net with prompt ness and even with severity. They stand upon no Idle ceremony. How long would Russia, In our situation and with our obligations, h.ivo dallied with the Vene zuelan matter, at we did? How long would Germany tolerate such abuses at her door and nt such expense to her In terests as we nro tolerating In the case of Cuba .' o Instead of being swaggering and ag gressive, offensive to others and lndlf feient to the rights of others, tho United States Is patient to the point of error and lacking nt times In tho duty she owes to herself ns one of the ruling Influences in tho world for good government. lame If To the Weath Blame it to what we will, this fact stares us coldly iu the face: we're overstocked on certain lines of winter wearables. Now this is all opposed to our ideas of progress ive merchandising, and we have determined to unload the surplus at short notice. We've made a perfectly plain and above board statement of existing conditions; now for the remedy. It seems a pity to call the price primer's services into play thus early in the season, but there's no help for it, so here goes for the biggest merchandising event of the season.

The Methodist Episcopal Congress, in session at Pittsburg, dlscused the tn toyestlng topic ot church music the other day. In tho course of the papers read the comment was made that tho average precentor acts ns though Methodist tunes should bo Jigs. Choir mnsteis and music committees should refuse mutilated hymns altered to suit tho Ideas of incompetent persons, and sacred words set to tunes of sentimen tal love songs. It was nlso suggested that In the future the church Choir will cease to be the "war department ot the church." If this last state is attnlned It will only lie by official recognition of the modern conditions of music In the ser vice. In many cases this part of tho worship has reached such a condition ns to be a menace 'to the progress of tho church. Tho tendency of the times Is In tho direction of professional choir singers, and while perhaps less quar reling goes on In such cases than when local tnlent, belonging to various fnc tlons In the community, Is employed, the results nro not always satisfac tory. There can be no sort of doubt that In fashlonablo churches less spir itual benefit Is derived from the pres ent day method of engaging profes sional singers, who nro looked upon, not In tho light of fellow-worshippers, In whom an Interest ot churchlv fra ternity Is felt, but simply as hired en tertainers, who add distinction to the organization In somewhat the same way as a particularly fine window, or an ornate pulpit, adds distinction to the edifice than was characteristic ot th good old way when singing was dono by thoso who had their hearts in tho song service. Prom a choir singer's point of view equally dlsadvanfagcous features are seen. If tho average professional singer In a quartette finds herself able to fill an engagement in n fashlonablo church, and leave with n shred of vocal reputation remaining, not to mention An advertisement advising young men to study journalism at heme, Is now a fenture in n number of high class periodicals. This "school of jour nalism" promises to impart tho secrets ot editing, reporting and nil other 'branches of newspaper and literary work, teaching the student to become proficient in th'o course of a brief time by employing only his spare moments. Not a few newspnpers bear evidence cf being mads up by home students at some distance from their placo of publication. Tho experiences of :i "home student" who thought he knew It nil, written after a. week of practical work on a live newspaper, would make Interesting reading. Ills school theor ies might apply to getting out a hasty report of a midnight lire In Petersburg or ,nn early Sunday morning christen ing in select I'olifcli circles up the val ley, but ngaln they might not. The best school for Journalism is in Jour nalism Itself, An Object Lesson. Wo learn from the Pittsburg Times that a large Interest In tho Kllwood City Tin Plate company has been pur chased by Robert B. Byass & Co., ot Swnnsen, Wales, one of the most ex tensive manufacturers of tin plnte In tho world, and tho capacity of tlio Kllwood. City company, as a result of an agreement entered Into with the Welsh tin plate men, has secured the latter's trade in the United States. At the tlmo of the enactment of the Dlngley tariff law the Welsh manufac turers, It Is explained, realizing that their trade In America would bo ruin ed by Its rates, entered Into negotia tions with tho Kllwood company for trade relations. Bynss & Co. have had nn extensive business In the United States for years on flno specialties. It is announced that by tho terms ot the agreement Byass & Co. purchase a minority Intorest In tho Kllwood com pany and will lilaco Bydney A. Bynss of the Swansea firm on the board of directors, Byass & Co. relinquishing nil rights to the manufacture and sale of tho "M. V." brand of roofing tin' In the United States. The work of doubling tho capacity ot tho Kllwood plant Is tinder way, but according to our Pittsburg contemporary the busi ness Is Increasing nt euch a rate that Reflations Meet Pop the Day After; From tho Lancaster Now Bra. The evils of over-Indulgence In al coholic drinks bave been made plain to everybody. It wo did not see enough of this with our own eyes, what wo dally seo ami read in the newspapers would be sufficient to thoroughly convince us of the fuel. But there Is another Indul gcncii to which even mure people are nddieii'd tliuu those who are given to the use of stimulants, nnd that is over eating. It is no easy matter to say how much harm comes to us during tho course of the year through dietary excesses. Wo give this matter no attention until It is forced upon us by disagreeable and often dangerous ufter-conscquences. In digestion is the parent of many physl cnl ollments. nnd when dyspepsia comes nlong nnd lays Its relentless grasp nn tho hearty feeder, tho victim easily reaches the conclusion that there Is lit tle left ill life that is wortli tno living. o Tho pleasures of the tablo appeal to mont persons most persuasively. Many 11 person who denounces strong drink may himself over-lndulgo when ho sits down to an elaborate dinner of rlcb foods. To get drunk 1s discreditable, nnd to persist In the habit Is sure to lead to trouble. But men may Indulge In the pleasures of the table to an excessive de greo and nobody thinks them any tho worso for It. Ho Is simply called a hearty eater, and that Is the end of It. Thero Is no manner of doubt thnt quite its many men dig their graves with their teeth as iro thura through over-indulgence In sii'ong di Ink, although It must bo said that tho over-lndulgenco in food Is not so demoralizing, nor so repugnant to our moral sense, ns tho former. What ever personal Inconvenience peoplo suf fer who nro given to tnblo excesses, theso do not manifest themselves dis agreeably In public places and iu public sight. o Tho doctors have not been silent on this Interesting question. Again and again they huvo cried out against it, but it Is an up-hill lllght to coniendwIth a de moralized appetite, sir Henry Thomp son, a noted English authority on dietetic matters, recently expressed himself as follows: "I have come to tho conclusion that more than half tho disease which embitters the middle and latter part ot lifo Is duo to avoidable errors in diet. and that moro mischief In tho form of actual disease, of Impaired vigor, and of shortened llfo accrues to civilized man in England and throughout central Kuropo from erroneous habits of cntlng than from tho habitual uso of ulcohollc drink, considerable ns I know that evil to be." o And yet medical men nre sometimes themselves tho worst offenders. Dr. Aher netliy, one of tho most eminent of Eng lish medical men, nto a very light break fast, and then look nothing moro until evening, when ho ato a dinner that rivalled In the profuseness of Its solids nnd liquids those of somo of tho Caesars. Of course, men who lead active, out-of-door lives, or whose lines of business de mand much physical effort, require and run assimilate more food than those dif ferently employed. The main thing Is to stop when you feel nnd know you linvo eattn enough, nnd not to take ono slice moro becauso It appeals strongly to tho palate. It takes a strong-miniled man to do tills, therefore so few persons do It. Frequent cntlng or indulgence at Irreg ular Intervals Is most harmful. Tho stom ach Is an organ that requires rest quite ns mucli as tho arms or tho legs, and when overtaxed Is suro to glvo way. A VICTORY FOR HUMOR. I'rom tho Washington Post. Tho man who laughs Is a blessing to tho human race, but greater still Is the man who makes other peoplo laugh. It pays sometimes to be a humorist. Even our old friend Tammas, who entertained the good peoplo of Thrums with profes sional fun, albeit his jokes were as dry as oatmeal itself, appreciated the Im portance of the bumorlst. An Incident happened In Now York re cently which may aptly be described as a victory for humor. Nathan Plotkln bought n loaf of bread from Moses l.ocn tbal. Bcgnrding u knlfo as superfluous, Nathan took a hugo bite, screamed nnd turned pale. There was a mouse In tho bread. "I haf In my bread a mouse found," bo complained later to Loenthnl, "and' in my madness I hnf somo dishes smashed. Vhat are you goln" to do npoud dot?" If he had not been a humorist, Loen tlial would have gravely undertaken to explain the accidental presence of tho ,mouso nnd would have soothed his cus tomer with promises of futuro loaves con taining flour only. On the contrnry, Loen thai laughed. He raised his hands and cried: "Vhat you expect for n cents? Elephants?" And then Plotkln, wlio ought to have been amused, grew angry. He fell upon l.oenthal and smoto him hip and thigh. Ho could not apprcclato hu mor. Now Plotkln has gone to jail. The judge laughed, the Jury laughed, and oven the idlo spectators in mo conn room wero entertained by Loentlinl's retort. It wns decided that Plotkln hnd no cause for assault, and now ho will have ample time to Inoculate himself with a lovo for humor Iu the quiet of his cell. Wo nro glad of It. There Is so much grim sor row in llio worm, mere is so eviueni ii disposition to glvo a pessimistic, turn to evcrv minor trouble, and wo aro all so prone to anger that when a man like loenthal seeks to disarm wrath with ready wit, we aro disposed to regard blm as a benefactor to tho human race. Wo nre pleased to chronlclo this vie tiirv for humor. It Is evident that, al though justice may bo blind, thero Is n placw under her fifth rib whero she Is not uverso to being tickled.

Of the last seems to bo ono described by Dr. K. A. de Schwelnltz In a recent address before tho Chemical society, of Washington. "A fine blooded horse, not available for or dinary uso on account of his propensity to run away, was converted Into a sub ject for tho cultivation of tho tuber culin antltoxlne. Ho was, of course, ex pected to rebel; but, on the contrary, ho received tho hypodermls Injection ot tho poison of tho tuberculosis germ In cpjlet ncss nnd even seemed Interested In watching tho operation. As a burned child dreads the lire, it was supposed ho would resist the second operation.
