The report of the secretary of war recommends an addition to the regular army of 4,000 enliBted men and 140 officers, all captains, the object being to Increase the number of companies In each regl ment to twelve, thus permitting the for mallon of three battalions of four com panies each, a method in practice else' where, and which has the sanction of our . own prominent army officers. iThls pro posed addition would make the maximum force of the regular army consist of 29,000 enlisted men with the requisite list of officers, and would keep the effective force always at the present nominal standard. The secretary of war points out that the additional cost would only be about $1,4.0, 000 annually, an Increase which he thinks the country can well afford. Demagogues and the apostles of dls order Will oppose any Increase of the army, ostensibly on the plea of economy, but really because they want no possible military Interference with any riotous outbreak that may be fomented by selflsh agitators. But congress should legislate for tho welfare and safety of the entire population, and to secure this, the pro posed addition to the readily available military force of the country, seems quite small enough. We have a long coast line practically unprotected, many of the old and outdated fortifications being without even skeleton garrisons. We are begin ning to fortify and equip with modern ordnance some of our most Important harbors, but forts and guns, to be useful, must have men to guard them. If 25,000 soldiers were required when the present army limit was fixed more than twenty years ago, 29,000 Is not a greater army, In proportion to population, now. Elements of Internal disorder and compli cations with foreign powers exist now that were not even anticipated then, It would seem, therefore, but the exercise of common prudence, to Increase the drilled military force of"the country In some ratio commensurate with Its In crease in population and wealth, in con sidering this subject congress will find It advantageous to err, if at all, on the side of safety. A military force of even 29,000 enlisted men Is small enough for a coun try of seventy millions of people, with a sea coast thousands of miles In extent. JAPAN'S INDUSTRIAL "OPENING." Japanese competition Is the most sig nificant factor In the Industrial world to day. That Island empire has been opened with a vengeance. It Is playing with America and Europe the same game It played so successfully with China and Corea many years ago. Time was when It was far behind those countries In urt and Industry. Hut they "opened" It to their higher clvlllrutlon. It proved to be an apt pupil and In a generation far out stripped Its teachers. Within the mem ory of men now living the United States again "opened" Japan to the whole world. It would be a good thing, men thought, to lot In the light of our suporlor civilisa tion upon those darkened barbarians: and Incidentally to make a new market for "Yankee notions" and the wares of Bir mingham. Bo It was. But the Japanese showed themselves Just as apt pupils us ever. They learned our arts and Indus tries, and put them Into practice, and to day they threaten to surpass their teach ers and glut the Newcastle market with Imported coals. They are keeping up their own dlstlno tlvo aits and manufacture, which ap parently no other nation can ever hop.i to rival. They maintain their old monop oly In paper goods, and silks, and lacquer, end pottery, and carvings, and metal work; and they keep the exquisite per fectlon of their workmanship unimpaired by the exigencies of modem trade. But they do more than that. Chey take up the characteristic Industries of Europe and America, and prosecute them with Ihe fame surpassing skill. Pianos and parlor organs, optical, surgical and scien tific Instruments of tha most exquisite construction, bicycles, rllles, watches and clocks, are oil being manufactured In Japan as perfectly as In any other coun try. They hesitate at nothing. They fnll at nothing. The Japancre have, moreover, one enor mous advantage over all the rest of the World in the cheapne-Kt of labor, Oreat as Is the contrast between wages In America and Europe, It Is a mere trlllu bj the side of that between Europe and Juimn. In the liiHt-ii:iinHl country 10 cents a day Is a fair rute of wages. Ten cents a day In competition with the ln U Mites of the United States! And thut ireuns ten hours a day of earnest, In telligent labor by the most thorough, ln ilufftrlous and qulek-wlited of workmen. An evci-jbudy knew-), the cost of labir Is the chief element of cost of moet manu factured article. If, then. Japan can reduce the element to leja than 10 per cent of whut It is elsewhere, by what a formidable margin will she be abls to undersell all rivals In the mark-1 a of the world.1 It Is no mot-King cry of "Wolr1!" It Is a plain statement of Impending dan- bicycles and pinnos and mowing ma chines and a thouand othtr things of her own manufacture to this country, fully emml In quality to th best We can pro (luce, lit half, or a quarter, the cost of niumifacturo hero This Is the 'problem which tho Industrial economists of Europe and America have to deal with. How, time alone "III show. Hut this one tiling is certain:' Jupan has been "opened" and cannot again be closed. The fisher man has released the genie from the ves sel, and he cannot make him rc-ontcr-it. THIS NAVY AND ITS NEEDS. However Jealous the American people have ever been concerning a regular army, always maintaining a policy that it should be small, no such feeling has existed In respect to the navy. In that arm of the service we have always had a pride, with the amblton that the stars and stripes might be carried Into every sea and respected and honored through out the world. Whether this feeling grew out of the war of 1812, when our navy gained all the honors, or whether It had its foundation In that sentiment of the founders of the government that a standing army was a menace to popular liberty, there Is no question as to Its existence, and while congress has at times been lavish in Its naval expenditures, It never falls to scan with a critical eye the expenditures re quested by tho department of war. With our vast extent of sea coast and our general maritime Interests, we need a large and powerful navy, one that will at least be adequate for defense In case of need. That we should do more than this admits of doubt. In fact, it Is questionable whether we can do more. The report of Secretary Herbert tells 'What we have done In the way of naval construction during the past year and what the present condition of our navy is. Compared with the navies of the world, It does not rank high either In number of vessels or In armament. Not to speak of Oreat Britain and France, which outnumber us In war vessels of all sorts, almost beyond computation, we are outranked by Russia, Germany, Italy and probably Spain. Any one of these powers could send against us a stronger fleet than we could send against them, If such a case should happen. xne condition or our naval militia Is dwelt upon by the secretary and consid ered, to be an Important feature, and he recommends such appropriations as will put It on a permanent footing. This, in case of war, would be a reserve to draw from of Immense value. The secretary further recommends the construction of two new battleships and at least twelve torpedo boats, and he asks the power to Increase the number of en listed men. He shows that we have not force enough now adequately to man the vessels we have. From every point of view, whether that of the Jingo or the non-Jingo, we need more power In our navy. SENATOR HILL'S LECTURE FAIL URE. Senator Hill has abandoned his lecture tour In the Northwest and has returned to New York with his essay on "Liberty" In his grip, The reason his manager as signs for the senator throwing up his en gagement is that he has a bad cold. The real reason Is that he did not have ap preciative or paying audiences. The peo ple took no more Interest In him than In Coin Fool 10 to 1 Harvey, and both left the Northwest In disgust. Men will go to hear a good lecture, no matter who delivers It. They will often go to hear a poor one If the lecturer la a celebrity whom they are curious to see or a publlo man for whom they have a lik ing. It Is evident, thon, that Senator Hill's lecture was not Interesting, and that neither the Republicans nor Demo crats of Wisconsin or Minnesota are at tracted by his personality. Probably they all look upon him as a played-out boss and take no further Interest In him whatever. Senator Hill has made a mistake about himself. He fancied he was so great a man that people would pay a dollar or a half a dollar to hear anything he might say called a lecture Just as they would go to see Colonel Ingersoll. Consequently he got up a tiresome essay and went forth to make money, and Incidentally to do a little canvassing as a presidential candidate. What he should have done was to take a subject he knew something about and which the people cared for. If he had spoken on machine politics from the in side of It he would have had hearers He understands that subject and could have Illustrated his talk with his own experi ences. He could have told how to steal a legislature and a United States senator and explained JUBt how It was done in New York In 1892. People go to hear the reformed gambler and the reformed Inebriate when they re late their misdeeds and their experiences. They would pay to hear Senator Hill if, Instead of talking about "liberty," he would tell what he knows about "prac tical politics." ';- - .J The U. S.

LINCOLN'S INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE. (McClurc's Magazine for December.) Governor Hoyt tells an excellent story lllimf ruling Lincoln's Interest in mucele and his Involuntary comparison of him self with any man who showed great strength. It was in nfu-r Lincoln had delivered a speech at the state ag ricultural fair of Wisconsin at, Milwaukee, The two men were making the rounds of the exhibits, and went Into a tent to see a "strong man" perform. He went through the ordinary exercises with huge Iron balls, tossing them In the air and catching them, and rolllns? them en his arms and back. And Mr. Lincoln, who evidently had never before seen such a thing, witched him with intense Interest, ejaculating under his breath every now and then: "By eOorgc! By licorge!" When the performance was over, Gover nor Hoyt, Beelng Mr. Lincoln's Interest, asked him to go up and be Introduced to the athlete. Ha did so; and, as be stood looking down n.uslngly on the fel low, who was very bhort, and evidently wondering that a man ko much shorter than he could bo so much stronger, he suddenly broke out with one of his nalrit speeches: "VVIiv," h said, "why, I could lick salt off the top of yjur hat."

Tho Inhabitants of a hive are classed as drones, workers and queens. The queen Is the mother of every Insect In the hive, unless she has been Installed Instead of a queen Who has died and left tho hive without a mlstreHS. This queen bee Is 'tho wonder of the whole Insect tribe, as far as egg-laying Is concerned, often depositing 4,enO eirgB a day for days In succession during the most productive season. The chief won der connected with the worker bee Is the admirable manner In which his bedy Is shaped and fitted with instruments for honey gathering. These nntural Instru ments consist of cups, combs, brushes knives, funnels, simpers, etc., each of which Is worthy of a week of careful study under a high-grade microscope.

D., writes: "Tb purity of the air, and the eternal sun shine, fill one with wonder and delight Nature has accomplished much that there remains but little for man to do. As to Its possibilities as health resort -here la the most per rect sunsnine, wltn a temperature al ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil ror rain is an unknown factor: pure oxygen, aenss atmospnere and pure water. What more can be desired? it is the place, above all others, for lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu matlcs. Considering the number of sufferers who have been cured, I have no hesitancy In recommending this genial oasis as the haven of the afflict ed."
