West Point.
At pteen't the number of cadets at
West Point military academy Is UTO, or
about enough to supply second lieuten
ants for u icgular in my of 22,0'K) men
on a peace basis. The academy can
accommodate TOO cadets without en
laigement. In his forthcoming annual
lepoit It Is understood that the secie
tary of war will iccoinmend that eon
giess authorize an Increase In the num
ber of cadets to nt least COO, taking as
hl basis for this recommendation the
fact that our logular aimy will for
some time to come have to be much
taiger than It was when 370 cadets each
yen-supplied 11 Willi sunaiiein oiucers
lor out pan we believe unit congtes
rould ptofltably go luither than this.
There ought to be not less than tlnee

West Point and two naval academic

cotly costly in a monev mmisi and
also costly In human lives. The preju
dice which volunteer Hoops had at the

not survived the dcnionstiated fact
that the West Pointers, In camp and

To De-Ciokerize the Demociacy.
John Hilsben Walker, millionaire
mine ownei, editor of the Cosmopoli
tan magazine, founder of the Cosmo
politan milvcrMt.v and leader In a dozen
other movements which aie at least
latgu in the beginning, has now under
taken the taMc of oig.tnizlng- a Denio
eiatlc paity in New Yoik city in oppo
sltlon to Tammany Hall.
"It is now- evident." sajs Mr Walker,
"that the eoutiol of the mac ninety of
the Democratic- paity, In both the eltv
and state of New Yoik, lias passed
conipli'tel.v Into the hands of a man
wlioe views me at vailanee witli cveiy
known piimiple of Deiiim tacy who is
the embodiment of eveiythlng that Is
hateful to Demon ats. Notwithstand
ing tlie protest by the votes or dissatis
fied Democrats al the late election,
then, is no slgi. of weakening in the
power of Ulchard Croker. The immense
sums which uie being eti acted fiom
the community on vuilous pretences
give him an unlimited couuptlon fund
nnd enable him to giasp the levels of
his political machinery with a hold
from which no power within the or
ganization i an lonmve htm. Democ
iacy is ulieady more than a teun of
repiiach In New York, with eveiy
hour's manage inenl and violation of tho
pilnclples of Demociacy. (t will become
moie and moie odious. With no hope
of lefoim within, there lemalns but
one way to unseat the men who havo
taken possession of the paity nilely
for their own personal aggiaiidizemcnt,
iiiul who, by continued appeals to Uio
base-t motives, may Indefinitely hold
their power. Tho only way out nom
both Ciekellhin nnd PJattlsin seems to
be' by a combination of those who be
lieve in the lepublle and who are will
lug" to sueilflce something to advance
those Ideals of government which have
been held up to us by both Jcftenson
and Lincoln."
iJeginnliig toda and continuing dully
for on Indefinite time, Mi. Walker will
at Madlron Bquaio building In New
York city confer with citizens! who be
llcvo In: "An honest, fearless, uncon
trolled Judicial j-i tho fullest educa
tlotul privilegeH lor oil; the preserva
tion for thu people of all franchises
which should Inuro lo their benefit, thutt
removing from polltlnil spoils the chief
soiine or tNlstlna couuptlon, h. stikt
ndheieiico to thu principles under which
our Independence an a nation was
uihieved, nanirij, 'tbat all govern
ments duilve their Juri powers from
the consent of the governed'; Juit 4-
ministration or lawn In protection of
tho tights of tho poor equally with tho
rich."
It Is a brave, programme, Mr. Walker,
but why not save time by ro-operat-lug
directly with tho Kepubilcnn party?
Miss Jessie Schley, the pilesless of
peace, whoe visit to Kp.tlli ilurlntr the
recent wnr was the subject of much de
served ildlcule, confesses that she is In
a tllleniitiu. According to her story ft
wan due to her tepi osculations lo tho
queen regent that Spain sued for peine.
Miss Schlej nssuied the luilhoiltles ot
Madild that If they would call off their
war does Uncle Sum would let them oft
"ti.slly; "and now," she adds bltteily,
"he Is grubbing- eveiy thing Iti sight"
Jessie ought to apply for an Injunc
tion. All this Mugwump talk about forc
ing American rule upon uiuclnnt Isl
nndeis Is net nonsense. Tho pnsldenffl
plan Is to give every new possession
complete homo itile, no utoad ns Au.
