The Volunteers.
The proposition of Governor Hast
ings to recruit up the regular army to
the legal limit nnd furlough the vol
unteers for three months pending the
conclusion of ft treaty of peace Is ono
that will commend Itself to the good
judgment of the country. There are
reasons in abundance why the volun
teers should be released either by fur
lough or discharge just as soon as the
government may safely spare their
services.
Foremost among these, of course, la
the anxiety of parents and relatives for
the soldiers' return. This just now Is
Intensified by exaggerated fears of
camp sickness and mortality until Its
existence in every community is rt fac
tor to bo reckoned with. Yet If the
government feels that It would be un
mlllttry to disperse Its assembled vol
unteer forces In response to civilian
pressure there li the additional rea
son that It should not ask for unwill
ing or dissatisfied service when there
are plenty of men without home bur
dens or ties who would be glad to tak'i
the places ol those Volunteers whoso
home necessities urge their honorable
dismissal. The governor's suggestion
that the regular nrmy be recruited to
the maximum limit doubtless had in
view the fact that within u week after
the filtioughlng of the volunteers there
would be n movement nmong the
younger and more adventurous ele
ment In the volunteers to get back Into
active service. 1'ndct such conditions
the recruiting' of the regular army to
the present maximum of sixty-odd
thousand, or even to lOD.OOO should
congress In tho meantime so authorize,
would present few dllllcultles.
We do not believe that the patriotism
ot the Ameilcan people has suddenly
evaporated or that tho clamor for the
volunteers' return would continue If
the public believed there was further
need of the volunteer nrmy to effect
the purposes of the govennenl. We
are conlldent that the whole movement
for the release of these troops rests
upon tlu belief that a way an be
found to place upon tne regulars fiom
this time forward the burdens of the
war and of the reconstruction period to
follow the conclusion of negotiations
for peace. That being true, it Is for
the government to iird that way, and
we recommend for Its consideration the
plan suggested by Governor Hastings.

Qualities That Spell Defeat.
We learn from Dr. Swallow's Har
rlsburg organ that Tho Tribune Is a
"brazen hypocrite" and "HUMBUG,"
the last named In capital letters. Our
contemporary has reached this conclu
sion because wo do not concur In Its
endorsement of private scandal as n
weapon in politics. One of the pecu
liarities of reformers of tho Dr. Swal
low type is that, while very ready with
criticism of others they grow imme
diately vindictive mndtsplcnetlc when
treated to a dose of their own medi
cine. Because we have ventured to
object to the spectacle of a clergyman
and doctor of divinity using the liv
ery of political reform as an excuse
for getting down Into the depths of
scandal-mongerlng. we are rewarded
with a Volley of that same vitupera
tion which is so large a part of the
Swallow movement's equipment.
These mud batteries do no perman
ent damage and we are consequently
perfectly willing to Hand target until
there is something better in view. Rut
while inviting the Harrlsbunr organ
of the militant parson to open up and
Are uwuy we wish to renew our ex
pression of belief that "If tho right to
uso prlvnto scandal as a weapon in
politics Is sanctioned by the votes of
tho people of Pennsylvania, the slight
restraint heretofore existing upon
political discussion will Immediately
disappear nnd there will be such n
saturnnlla of obscenity and filth as to
deter every hone'st nnd sensitive man
from usplilng to usefulness In public
life and thus give command of politics
more firmly than ever to the unprin
cipled, the vicious and tho vile."
Virulence in abuse and utter lack of
restraint In tho ascription to others of
degrading ucts and motives, both pub
lic nnd private, are qualifications In
sufficient to fit a man for the governor
ship of a broad nnd Intelligent com
monwealth like Pennsylvania, nnd that
is why tho Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow
will not succeed In his present rash
quest for ofllce.
'
General Grosvenor assorts that when
on tho 2.1d day of last April wnr
against Spain was declared we did not
have ammunition enough to fire flvo
rounds to each American cannon; but
months before, In anticipation of
trouble, the prcsldent.unknown to any
body except a trusted few, had sent
in hermetically sealed cars long train
loads of nmmunltlon from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, coast and thence via the
cruiser Baltimore to Dewey, who used
It at Manila on May 1 as history al
ready known. If this be true, McKln
ley ought to get a vote of thanks no
less than Dewey, and n good time to
give him one will be on Nov. S.
The Question of Paving Repairs.
It nppears from the opinion of the
city solicitor that In the present con
dition of Its finances tho city of Scran
ton, through councils and mayor, may
Increase Its bonded Indebtedness liy the
sum of $08,000 without submitting tho
question to a popular vote. In other
words, we nre that much shy of the
constitutional limitation which pro
vides that cities of the third class shall
not, without popular authorization, In
cur liabilities exceeding two per cent,
of their assessed valuation. The only
question to bo considered, therefore, is
whether or not the city wants to plunge
Into debt up to this limit.
The subject behind this legal opinion
is the question of bettering the con
dition of the asphalted streets. It Is
admitted by all that the existing con
dition of these streets Is disgraceful.
Improvement of them In some way Is
Imperative and to this end four propo
sitions have appeared: (1) An ordi
nance by Mr. Roche to spend $70,000 In
resurfacing three miles of these streets;
(2) an ordinance by Mr. Keller to sub
mit to competitive bidding for a term
of years the contract of keeping nil the
asphalted streets In repair continually;
(3) the proposition that the city buy n
repair plant of Its own nnd do Its own
repairing; nnd (4) a suggestion that the
much-used business thoroughfares In
the central city be repaveil with gran
ite blocks.
Of these four propositions the fourth
Is plainly out of the question at this
time, since It would require the unani
mous consent of the property-holders,
who have already paved once and can
not be made to pay a second paving
assessment; the third Is Inexpedient,
since the many repairs now needed, If
made with due expedition, would re
quire the purchase of a larger plant
and equipment than would be needed
after the long accumulated breaks nnd
cracks had once been remedied; and
with respect to the Roche ordinance It
is to be noted thnt even If the city
were In mood to Incur $70,000 of extra
Indebtedness nt this time and could be
assured that so large a sum under pres
ent conditions would be expended hon
estly and with business-like economy,
the resurfacing of three miles of streets
would leave unaffected the several
other miles of asphalted streets which
almost equally cry for attention nnd
repairs.
If this matter were under considera
tion by a board of business men carry
ing into municipal affairs the methods
of private enterprise, It Is not to bo
doubted that the method embodied In
the Keller ordinance would Instantly
receive favor. Under It the competitive
feature assures an economical rate
while the division of the cost Into an
nual payments would easily make It
possible, with due economy In councils
In other directions, to carry the ex
pense of paving repairs out of the or
dinary tevenues without Increasing the
tax levy. Whatever method councils
shall conclude to adopt The Tribune
desires to remind them that not In
many years has the sentiment of the
tax-paying citizens of Scranton been
so averse to augmented tax burdens
growing out of municipal foolishness or
extravagance as It Is today; nnd not
In years has it needed so slight a straw
to break the camel's back.
Chicago's new school superintendent,
Dr. Andrews, Is stirring up the fossils
In great style. His latest suggestion
Is thnt n wholesome warm luncheon
should be served lit small cost to tha
pupils, in lieu of the- sodden nnd In
digestible cold rations that the average
pupil heretofore has brought from
home. He estimates that a warm
lunch counter could be made self-sustaining
and at the same time furnish
a valuable object lesson In good cook
ery. The proposition Is not received
favorably by Chicago's Intellectual
school directors, who don't see much In
It for them; but it has nt least served
to direct public attention moro closely
to school work and school needs, which
was doubtless Dr. Andrews' principal
object.
'
Comparisons.
It Is an interesting circumstance that
of tho 670 American marines who took
purt In the land campaign In tho vicin
ity of Snntiago not one lost his life
through sickness nor was tho percent
age oi BicKness among tnem at any
tlmo In excess of av. The efflcers of
the Marino corps explain this remark
able Immunity on ,the grounds that
greater precautions were taken with
the marines than with the army,
"The marines," says one of them,
"went to Cuba with tents and other
equipage. They hail flooring for the
tents which could bo put together with
screws. After they had started their
canvas uniforms weru sent to them,
They were all trained men and knew
that where they, were coins It wu
more necessary to provide against ills
case than against bullets, and conse
quently they observed, without com
plaint, the sanitary regulations pre
scribed by tho olllccrs. The officers
had nearly all had experience In trop
ical countries nnd they carefully
watched the diet of the soldiers, tho
drinking water nnd everything that
conduced to their comfort and welfare.
When tho tents were pitched the floors
were put together nnd placed on rocks,
a rock at each of the four corners,
raising the floor slightly from tho
ground. This prevented the soldiers
from coming Into personal contact
with the soli nnd permitted proper
drainage and ventilation of tho tents."
Comparisons may bo Invidious but
in this instance they aro inevitable.
A concession to build and control SOO
miles of railway through the richest
and most populous part of China has
just been granted to an American com
pany of which ex-Senator Brlce is the
ruling spirit. The Imperial director of
railways In China says he believes It Is
good policy to give all new railway
concessions to Americans Inasmuch as
the United States has no designs on
China. Tho present road Is to extend
from Canton to Hankow and will tap
a community numbering 200,000,000 peo
ple. The opening of such an area to
modern civilization ought to have n,
tonic effect upon our export trade with
China and It constitutes an additional
renson for the retention of the Philip
pine Islands as n base for the protec
tion and development of these rapidly
enlarging commercial Interests.
"Up to the present time It Is believed
that the death list by bullets and
wounds and by disease In our wnr with
Spain has reached the terrible figure of
nearly 3,000 men. Eleven thousand
men fell dead and wounded nt Chlcka
mauga, and more than 16,000 men fell
dead and wounded at Gettysburg. One
hour at Gettysburg cost the American
people more lives than has this war
up to the present time. There were
more men sick In the spring and sum
mer of 1S02 than have been mustered
Into this service, Including the regu
lars. This simply shows that war Is
war, and that you cannot have a war
In any other way." General Gros
venor, at Freeport, 111.
The Swallow guerillas are now at
tacking General Gobln because while
commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army ho opposed opening that order
to the admission ot others not North
ern veterans of the civil war. They
allege this to be a reflection upon the
veterans of tho war with Spain, but
such an Interpretation Is palpably rid
iculous in view of the fact that General
Gobln Is a veteran of that war himself.
Pop gun sorties of this petty character
will only tend to Increase his majority
for lieutenant governor.
The nomination of ColonelRoosevelt
for governor of New York will prob
ably be made by acclamation, but In
any event It Is assured. Governor
Black may get an Indorsement for the
senatorshlp and he may get nothing.
That will depend upon whether he ex
hibits diplomacy or sheer obstinacy.
Roosevelt's majority In November will
be an Interesting object lesson in the
popularity of bravery.
That good times have reached the
great Northwest Is shown In the an
nual report of the Northern Pacific
railroad, Just Issued. Last year, after
paying all dividends and fixed charges,
this company salted down n surplus of
$4S3,S29; this year its surplus is $2,897,
S74, a gain of fi00 per cent. No wonder
the western Populist Is taking In his
shingle.
The New York Commercial Advertis
er, In speaking of the resignation of
General Gomez, takes occasion to ex
press doubts that a Cuban army ever
existed. If this Is the case Spain must
stand before the world without an equal
ns a believer in ghost stories.
Agulnaldo does not like the way he
has been treated In the American press
and threatens to write a statement
setting himself light. When Aguln
aldo has had Quay's experience with
political journalism he will not be so
sensitive.

Hou) Io Get Good
Restilfs in War.
From the Elmira Advertiser.
THE management of tho navy during
the war has excited the admira
tion of tho world. Its thorough
equipment, dcfeetlvo In tho slngla
Item of powder alone, nnd Its
wonderful effectiveness have mndo It tho
pride of tho n.itlon. And yet this Is not
duo to any clement of chance, Tho com
manders and tho men behind tho guns
have been carefully trained In the best
methods and tho cntlro service has been
kept freo from politics. Incompetency in
any qunrter has been unknown. Speak
ing of this matter, the Scrunton Trlbuno
says, with admirable pertinence: "Every
good result won In our navy has been
won along tho lines ot expert professional
direction nnd ndvlce. Tho navy Is not
maunged by politicians for politicians,
but by trained nnd experienced seamen.
Our nrmy will bo Just ns eftectlvo when
Its management Is centered In actual yol
dlcrs." o
Nothing can be moro completely true
than that. The difference between army
management and navy management Is
tho dlfferenco between expert direction
and tho contrary. The Advertiser has
contended Menclfastly that the general
of tho nrmy should command the nrmy
and fight It, while n general staff should
bo organized to make all tho prepara
tion for tho work of tho general In tho
way of equipment, transportation, sup
piles, topography of tho country and the
many essentials to successful campaign
ing which must precedo the uctunl shock
of arms. This does not mean that tho
war secretary must he a military man.
Some of tho ablest organizers of victory
have been civilians, but they absolutely
eliminated politics from Interference
with their work. It Is practically Impas
sible for an untrained man to hold a
position of command In our navy, but
nothing Is easier In tho nrmy. Men en
tirely Ignorant of every principle and duty
of soldlcrliis aro given command from
colonel down, while staffs aro overloaded
with political and personal appointees.
' o
In spite of tho disasters that have bo
fallen our arms In some of our wars tho
practice Is continued to this time of
making tho army a refugo for men who
aro densely Ignorant of military duty, yet
nrc placed in authority for political rea
sons. Not even an examination Is re
quired such ns everyone must pass be
foro ho can get a commission in tho stato
national guard. For a great many years
the military experts have dono their boat
to correct this ovll, but without success.
The effect of the bad practice is felt
throughout tho nrmy and as tho coun
try Is awaking to knowledge of tho pre
vailing system there Is hope that a re
form may be accomplished. It seems in
credible that tho country should permit
tho present stato of things to continue In
definitely. Wo Indulge the hope that tho
Investigating committee will lay bare this
evil and aid In the accomplishment of a
better system nnd ono moro In accord
with the requirements of the nrmy. The
magnificent work of the navy ought to
make tho task easy, but It will not. Tho
only true wav Is to have tho army run
on military principles nnd public opinion
Is still lax in that regard.
BOOKS AND AUTHORS.
For Tho Tribune by Henry Howard Bel-
dleman.
I. Zangwlll, the famous Hebrew novel
ist and critic, Is now sojourning In
America. It Is not yet decided whether
he will lecture here or not.
In "Slleneo nnd Other Stories," Mary E.
Wllklns reveals the same charm that has
endeared her to the hearts of thousands
of admirers of Puritan life and manners.
Kato Douglass Wlggln still retains her
hold upon the nffeetliyis of her American
aamlreis, ns Is witnescd by the unusual
ly largo nalo of her "Penelope's lra
gress." Those who appreciate the true literary
genius of Conan Doyle will find much de
light in reading his first published book
of poems. It Is appropriately named
"Songs ot Action."
Richard Harding Davis and Stephen
Crane are hard at work among the sham
bles of Santiago and Porto Rico, and wu
may look for some pleasant surprises In
the way of war stories from these favor
ites nt an early date.
Enthusiastic golfers will be pleased to
learn that Mr. A. 13. Frost, the famous
artist, nnd W. G. Van Sutven will Jointlv
produce at an early date "The Golfer's
Alphabet," a humorous, nrtlstlc portrayal
of America's now favoilte sport.
Ono of the greatest dramatic success"s
of the season thus far Is the production
of Anthony Hope's new play, "Tho Ad
ventures of Lady Ursula at the Lyceum
In New York. Mr. Sothern and wife
(Miss Harned) as usual play tho leading
roles, and seem to have lost none cf
their well-earned popularity.
The countless admirers of "Tho Prisoner
of Zenda" will llnd an equally pleasant
surprise In "The Plido of Jenlnlco," the
Joint production of George uud Egertun
Castle. To Livu even a hint of the plot
would spoil tho charm and novelty of the
romance, but to ns-hcrt that it will become
a great favorite is putting it but mildly.
Hall Calne, who arrived In New York
last week, is prepaiing to stage "The
Christian" In Washington, D. C. The
Initial performance will occur about Sept.
28. It will mako Its first nppearauco In
New York Oct. 3. If Mr. Calne makes an
extendi d stay In this count! y he will lec
ture on "Tho Proposed Anglo-American
Alliance."
Since tho war has closed and as tho va
cation season approaches Its end, a re
newed activity has developed among
publishers and book dealers. The full
and holiday announcements aro more
promising nnd elaborate than ever. The
juvenile Held promises to yield an un
usual crop ot dainty fruit. The new il
lustrated books will bo unusually num
erous, sumptuous and elaborate, and the
number of good books by really popular
authors Is unusually large.
"The Gadfly" is one of the most talked
of books of tho year. H Is bright. It is
entertaining. It is nn Instructive study
of life. But the real cause ot Its univer
sal popularity is probably the fact that it
Is a sensation. Mrs. Voynleh, tho au
thoress. Is a brilliant Entiish-lrlsh wo
man, tho wifo of a Pole, an escaped exile
and a "dyed-ln-the-wool" Nihilist. While
ho nnd his brilliant wife mako their resi
dence In England they spend most or
their time In travel nnd study. The
story Is now being dramatized and when
staged will undoubtedly meet with a
marked bucccss.
Nearly all of the well-known authors of
today, on both sides of tho Atlantic, are
devotees of the ubiquitous bicycle. Marlon
Crawford Is an enthusiastic and accom
plished yachtsman In fact a profes
sional. The venerable nuthor of "Lorn-i
Doone" Is nn experienced and devoted
gardener, spending most of his leisure
hours among his flowers, shrubs and
fruit trees, James Bryco and Hall Calne
aro famous pedestrians and Inveterate
mountain climbers. Stanley Weyman,
tho charming portraycr of inedlaval
knights nnd ladles, is a devoted horse
man, nlthough not an expert rider, An
drew Lang, tho cultured critic, Is a faith,
ful dlsclplo of Isaac Walton, and is sal.i
to bo a typical nlmrod. Robert Barr,
whoso "In tho Midst of Alarms" and "A
Woman Intervenes" have charmed the
multitudes, Is now In England and with
his friend, Bret Harte, Is a most ardent
golfer. Barrio, Crockett, McLaren,
Doyle, Lang nnd Hopo aro enthusiastic
and successful crlciteters. George Mere
dith Is n confirmed pedestrian, Hang
will's most pronounced characteristic is
that of a theater "first nlghter," as Is
also truo ot tho much talked of Corel!!.
Thomas Nelson Pace and Frank R,
