The army is now composed of 65,000
regular troops and 35,000 volunteers.
By July 1, 1901, it must be reduced to
27,000, if there is no further legislation
upon the subject. Doubtless, no mat
ter what legislation may be had at the
hands of congress, the volunteers will
be mustered out as their terms of en
listment expire, which is the right thing
to do, of course. It strikes The Joub
KA that, considering all things, the
thought of Senator Proctor is pretty
close to what it is desirable to do, viz:
reorganize the military establishment
on the basis of-a minimum of 50,000; a
maximum of 65,000, with authority to
increase to 100,000, at the discretion of
the president. The necessity for a new
basis is the acknowledged needs of the
service in the Philippines, General Mac
Arthur's report stating that a large force
would have to be maintained there for
some time. General Miles is understood
to be of the opinion that the regular
army should now be about 100,000 men.
At a cabinet meeting one day lost week
President McKinley made a speech in
which he very warmly commended tho
members of his cabinet, saying, among
other things, that if the result of the
recent election was an endorsement of
his administration, it was no lees an en
dorsement of the men who had stood by
him in the time of stress and adversity.
The credit for success, he said, he laid
with the heads of his various depart
ments and he should shrink from enter
ing upon another four years of office
unless he could be assured that he would
have with him a majority at least of the
men who form his present official house
hold. He said he knew that in asking
them to remain with him there was
scarcely one who could do eo without
some sacrifice either of time or money,
leisure or personal inclination. At the
same time, he Baid, he should feel hap
pier if all of them could gratify his
wishes.
It is all well enough for political or
ganizations to continue their commit
tees and keep at work right along, but
they should avoid the extreme of "set
ting up pins" and cut-and-dry methods
of all kinds. What is needed, more than
anything else we know of is that each
political unit feel his own separate, in
dividual importance, and thus we shall
have more spontaneity in parly matters
than we have had, and this is an element
that is very desirable in a country where
the people are sovereign. Let the light
shine. Spread information in regard to
pnblio matters. Keep an accurate "tab"
on all occurrences of a political nature,
but let every thing be with the utmost
individual freedom of action. Valued
leaders are all right political bosses
ought to be unknown in a republic.
Another humor of the occasion comes
from Charles A. Towne, who announces
that in his judgment it is about time to
disband the silver republican organiza
tion, of which he is still the national
head. That is rich and racy, coming
from Towne, when it is recalled that at
the Kansas City convention he declared
that he was ready and anxious to come
ont as a democrat immediately after the
close of the campaign of 1896. but was
deterred from doing so by the entreaties
of Mr. Bryan and other democratic
leaders who thought he could do them
more good by continuing the silver re
publican masquerade four years longer.
Mr. Towne, evidently, is getting tired of
the masquerade, but he has been un
masked long aga Omaha Bee.
Eisewheee in today's Journal are
printed particulars of a harrowing
atrocity in Colorado and of the fearful
punishment wreaked out upon the in
human wretch supposed to have been
guilty. All show that self-control and
obedience to law, on the part of both
individuals and communities are of the
utmost importance. At a mass meeting
at Denver, called to express public sen
anient, Governor Thomas, while de
nouncing the crime aad the method of
punishment, states a general principle

well regulated citizen can ever justify a

Whatever may be said of the scientific

bases his yearlj forecasts of storm and
weather, it is a remarkable fact that
specific warnings of every great storm,
flood, cold wave and drouth, have been
plainly printed in bis now famoaa Al
manac for many years. Tho' latest
startling proof of this fact was the de
struction of Galveston, Texas, on the
very dsy named by Prof. Hicks in his
1900 Almanac, as one of disaster by
storm along the gulf coasts. The 1901
Almanac by far the finest, most com

- We are indebted to John Wiggins
for the privilege of reading in the Jour
nal and Courier of Little Falls, N. Y., the
very able address of Robert MacKinnon
on "The Evolution of Industry." Ha
starts with the time when "mankind
were in the condition our anarchistic
friends are laboring to return us to today.
No authority ruled in the earth and
every man was a law unto himself. As
in -the brute oreation force ruled, and
misery and subjection were the lot of the
weak. Existence was a constant strug
gle, and the cattle of the farmer today
are vastly better fed and housed and
treated than the most favored people of
that period.'' He attributes the great
ohange to industrial evolution, when
men began to cultivate special faculties,
developing unusual skill, instead of
every man doing everything for himself,
Aa subdivision of labor increased, wealth
also increased. More progress has been
made in the nineteenth century than in
all the previous ages of man's existence.
He refers at large to the printing press
aa probably the most important aid ia
the industrial development of modern
ptimes.' Guttenburgh was able to print
twelve small sheets an hour or 120 in tea
hours. The latest and best press will
print 96,000 four, six or eight-page news
papers an hour, or 7,680,000 large sheets
ia ten honrs. The great press discharges
the papers in four places at once. Other
inventions contributing to the oomfort
of mankind upon the earth are; the
steam engine; the spinning jenny; the
wonderful steam vessels of th

Raising sunflowers is a paying enter

and regarded a fascinating edible. At
street crossings in all of the provinces of
Russia there are stands where peddlers
with big baskets sell the salted product
of the big sunflower. A good crop of.
sunflowers, as it stands in the field is
worth 925 an acre. Exchange. Here's
the right thing for the sand hills of Ne

The editor of the Fremont Herald
is a democrat, and we have imagined we
could notice several times that he di
vided very accurately between the pop
ulists and the Jaoksonian-Tilden kind
of people. Speaking of the thought of
some populists to nominate Wm. J.
Bryan for president in 1904, the Herald
says: "But it is too early to sow gar
den seed just now. The gathering of
the last crop (such as it is) and the fall
plowing for the next, are'the first things
in order.. Principles will live; leaders
may die."

in today's Joubnai, concerning the rob

learn that the postmaster, W. H. Illian,
as wakened by the explosion, ran down
stairs and took two shots at the robbers,
but they made' good their escape, after
returaiag one of the shots. One of the
men is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall,

Mrs. Sproat set oa the table seme
bread aad cheese with the remaaata of
the family dinner, which her sea
thought rather scaaty fare for hungry
men. He felt a little vexed that the
defenders of the country were not
more bountifully supplied. The sol
diers, after satisfying their appetites,
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebeneaer said be would ask hla moth

"Mother." be said, "how much la It
worth to pick those boaeaT
"About a shilling. I guess," she an
swered. The young officer returned to the sol
diers, and. taklag from the barroom till
S shillings and smlllag gealally upon
them, gave each man one and with
good wishes seat them on their way.
Mrs. Sproat soon after came la and
asked Ebeneaer what be had done with
the money for the soldiers' dinner.
In apparent amazement be exclaim
ed: "Money! Did I not ask you what
It was worth to pick those bones, and
you sakl a shilling? I thought It little
enough, for the bones were pretty bare,
and I handed the men the money
front the till, and they are gone."
Mrs. Sproat conkl not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis
interpretation of her words, and then
she. too, loved a joke, and so. after an
lnstaaf s glum look, she laughed aad

year I began to make a systematic
study of their habits," says a contribu

"Near one of my flower beds la
a colony of small red ants that are ex
tremely Industrious In collecting food,
and they frequently perforin the most
astonishing engineering feats In trans
porting heavy burdens to their home.
"Not long ago I watched a party of
about a dozen who bad found the body
of a small spider and were dragging It
toward the nest. The spider had hairy
legs, which stuck out In every direction
and caught on obstacles, greatly re
tarding progress. For several min
utes the ants tolled away with their
awkward booty and then stopped and
seemed to hold a council. A minute
fragment of dry leaf was lying on the
ground, and presently they all lay hold
and pulled the spider on top of it,
Then they seized the edges and slid It
along without difficulty."
