From Scribner's Magazine, This question of arms is 9 live one in Europe, where fighting may be expected at any time, but we the very warlike and extremely unmili- tary sovereign people of the United States can afford to view it with indifference. We know that we have millions of fighting men ready to spring to arms at their country’s call. The arms they would spring to may not be of the best, but the men are splendid. We have Springfield rites for afew thou- sands of the millions, and have provided by the law of the land, in force in the year of grace 1889, that each man of all the rest shall have “a good musket or firelock, two spare ‘ts, a sufficient bayonet,” and other warlike gear, except in the case of officers, each of whom must have “a spontoon and a sword or hanger.” as he may elect, Our criterion of military excellence is very different from that of Europe.
