GOOD THAT WILL RESLVT.
Whether or not this countrj' is to
hae war with Spain remains wholly
a question to be determined. Opin
ions may differ as to the result of the
investigation now in progress at Ha
Tana, and all future actions depends
uiwn its outcome. The excitement
which this nation has already under
gone is bearing good fruit, as can be
seen in the recent action of the sen
nte adding two regiments to the ar
tiller' service. It has long been felt
by military men and close observers
in civil life that the United States
army is altogether too small to serve
even as a nucleus for a greater force
in time of war. Twenty-five thous
and men, scattered in all portions of
a vast domain, would be as nothing
in the event of a foreign war, and it
congress is wise some measures wil
be taken looking to an increase in
the size of the standing army.
While the United States pertends
to be a peaceable nation, yet it can
not control the actions of other
governments, and we may at any
time be unwillingly drawn into a
conflict for which we are totally un
prepared. The strained relations
nov existing between this country
and Spain have demonstrated to the
believers in a universal peace that
war is a contingency likely to hap
pen at any time, and if this govern
ment intends to maintain its position
among the nations of the earth, it
must have a military and naval force
which other countries will at least
respect.
No nation on the earth is so strong
in military reserve as the United
States. A million men would volun
teer in a short time should the occa
sion require; but it would take many
months before these volunteers could
cope successfully with the trained
soldiers of European countries.
This government has the means
and the men to inciease its army and
navy to respectable proportions, and
if the present imbroglio with Spain
shall teach this lesson, it may serve
us to advantage in the days to come.
Chicago is in the throes of a dis
graceful political struggle, in which
the efliuiency, if not the very exis
tence, of its civil service system is
seriously threatened. Unless the
strong arm of public Indignation in
tervenes, all the gains of municipal
uprightness made during the last ad
ministration will be entirely lost.
Two powerful party machines arc
making a desperate attempt to wrest
the police debarment of the city
from the control of the civil service
commission and icduce it to their
own evil purposes. The Chicago
civil service system went into opera
tion two years ago, after a prolonged
battle on the part of the reform ele
ments of the city and a decisive pop.
ular vote under the referendum.
Mayor Swift and his administration
were charged with attempting to de
feat its purposes, but not openly. On
the advent of Mayor Harrison and
the present Democratic administra
tion an army of hungry politicians
demanded the spoils of the victory.
It was led by a powerful secret or
gaaiziitioi) of Democratic ex police
men, who bad been' discharged by
Mayor Swift. Unfortunately, there
was a defect in the engrossment of
the civil service act, of which the
corporation counsel was not slow to
take advantage. The exemptions
from the operation of the law were
"the heads of any principal depart
ment of the city." Mayor Swift's
corporation counsel had decided that
these positions included only the
heads of executive departments ap
pointed by the mayor and confirmed
by the city council. Mayor Harri
son's first move was to attack this
interpretation of the law. "Heads of
any department," as concerning the
police department, was construed to
embrace the assistant superintendent
of police, the department scjretarj',
four inspectors, and eighteen captains.
Taking the
JVIedieine.,
The Oregonian is doing untold
damage to the Republican party in
Oregon by its attempt to read out
of the party men who in former
years may have misunderstood the
money question and leaned a little
toward the side of silver. The Ore
gonian forgets that time makes
changes, and men's opinions arc
changed with greater study and ob
servance. There are many voters
in Oregon, earnest believers in .he
gold standard, who four years ago
did not see the right so clearl' and
these men the Oregonian would he
glad to hound from the party ranks,
Are we not seeking converts, and
glad to get them when they come?
For what other purpose are speeches
made and enitorials written? Yet
whenever a fcrner silver mar wants
to come back into the Republican
party, the Oregonian objects. It all
comes back to the' same old ques
tion the Oregonian is serving Joe
Simon and his gang more than it is
the Republican party or the general
welfare.
