Mr. Dolliver himself perspires under the load, for later on in his oration he said: *“O my countrymen, | we are in the midst of such difficult responsibilities | that T sometimes feel that our resolutions and our pur- | poses are overwhelmed. There are two ideas of the national duty in this emergency. One is that the nation should take care of itself, and let the world Jone. That is a narrow view.

The objections urged by the Secretary against the existing organization of the staff appear to be well founded. He is reported as saying: “Nothing could be more unpractical than the present permanent ten- vre of the chief of a bureau. The President, as com- mander-in-chief, is responsible for the efficiency of the army. country to produce results by its use. In time of war he is expected by the He can deter- mine who shall command the armies and can change generals in command as often as he chooses, but he is absolutely powerless as to the heads of these great departments which, organize and assemble and feed and clothe and transport and arm and equip and care for the army. staff departments before a shot is fired. Victory or defeat is organized in the Inefficiency in them means necessary disaster at the beginning and the expenditure of countless treasure and the sac- rifice of countless lives. Yet no matter how plainly inadequate to the task the head of one of these de- partments may be, the President is powerless to make ! a change unless the officer commits some distinct and heinous offense upon which he can martialed and dismissed from the service.” be court- The experience which the country had with the staff during the war with Spain justifies the demand for a change. It was in that department alone that any serious blunders were committed in the struggle. The people have not yet forgotten the badly selected camps, the inefficient supplies and worthless stufis provided for the troops. ~Such food- | mistakes, or worse, could have been made only by men unfitted for the offices they held, and, profiting by the lessons of that experience, the people will be well pleased to have the President given power to change the heads of departments whenever circumstances show a change to be necessary for the efficiency of the army and the defense of the republic. Another important feature of the recommendations is that in promotions from the line every third pro- motion to the rank of major, lieutenant colonel colonel shall be by selection, leaving the other two to be by seniority, as at present. By that prov or on | the President will have authority to advance officers of conspicuous merit over the heads of less worthy officers who may happen to be their seniors in rank. | As the law stands the President has no power what- ever to reward service of conspicuous: brilliancy, and | ardent and able voung officers are unable to advance by any merit whatever. A third recommendation is that permanent staff appointntents be abolished, and that officers from the | line be detailed for staff duty for periods of four | years. In supporting this recommendation the Sec- retary said: “The advantages of these provisions, [ | believe, will be manifold. I think the change will | break up and prevent the tendency to bureaucratic government, of which there is always danger, and will !increase the efficiency of both the line and the staff, by breaking down the division between them, by giving | to each a more intimate and personal knowledge and appreciation of the difficulties and the needs of the other, and by creating a larger body of all-around | men trained in every branch of the service and com- | petent for any command, instead of men who have been trained in one branch only.” Taken as a whole the reforms appear to be well | devised.

Were in Blissful Ignorance Surplus to the Credit of the City Receiving and Insane Detention Hospitals. R T of The unexpected discovery of unexpended balances in the city Receiving and Insane Detention Hospitals, amounting to some 35000, has caused considerable comment in the City Hall regarding the methods em- ployed by the Supervisors' Finance Com- mittee, consisting of Jennings, Hotaling and Tobin, in adjusting the financial | ficulties of the city. It is argued that if | these balances have been overlooked hy the committee there are others that | be uncovered by a little proper investiga | tion, which might preclude the possibility {of shutting off street lights. The ormis- | sion seems to demonstrate. that the city fathers are but novices in the art of finance. | The Finance Committee has been mak- { Ing an exhaustive inquiry into the varicus municipal funds for the past three weehs, | and yet during all that time the members | have been in blissful ignorance of the fact that $5000 available for two branches of the Health Department was left over from | two specific _appropriations by thé ot | board. ‘This jgnorance is pecudiar from (he | fact that when the financial inquiry was | first commenced Expert Williams was di- rected to place in tl pervisor a copy of the statement of the city's financial condition, which he had préviously prepared. der the head of “surplus in funds De- cember 31, 139" the Supervisors wouid have found, if they had taken the trouble to look, the foilowing figures, among other | data: swo gak lusnd |883=| B35 8553 woie| 783 |Puad §on|: ot § ga.:a 2 ::?— & 5z [EB=F|ie¥|i 228 City Receiving| Hospital ......|$6,175 00(85,764 80 $410 11$5,000 00 Maintenance In- 169 75| 2,000 00 fents. | 2,600 00{ 2,400 25 Yy imple arithmetical calculation it | could have been ascertained that thers | was exactly $7609 8 to the credit of ihe two funds.

The | programme was interesting without | being erudite. It comprised Mendelssohn's | “Fingal's Cave,” a master's masterplece; | the much-commended Second Symphony of Schumann:; Saint-Saens’ diabolical | “Danse Macabre,” that stunning bit of musical tomfoolery, and Weber's gener- | ously melodic “Oberon” overture. Passing over the question of admis- | sibility in the case of the *Danse Maca- bre,” which found warranty, no doubt, in the fact that it received the first encore of the season, the serious and trivial ele- ments of the programme were well bal- anced—on the one hand the sensational “Danse” and the cheap Weber overture, and on tha other the rigorous Schumann epic, with Mendelssohn’s sound but not severe ‘‘Hisperia” to tone the whole. It | would have been a better arrangement if | this composition had been given at the end of the concert instead of at the be- | ing. B e Srehestra was as capable as usual, and Mr, Holmes more satisfying. He was out of touch with the weird and mystical “Danse Macabre,” but the composition plays itself. In the Weber number he had a task well within his powers, and the | admirable work of the orchestra resulted lin a very commendable interpretation. | The symphony also lent itself to his schol | arly temperament, and but for his cus- | tomary want of a true feeling for rhythm and his inability to endow his readings with poetic individuality, it was treated with a very acceptable truth and sin- cerity. | This very German work is marked by | | an undercurrent of somberness that per- | vades every movement, even the some- | what irrelevant scherzo. It Is essentially Schumannesque—recondite, yet suggestive, | deeply poetic, bafllingly beautiful. There | 1s, ntrangelg enough, more light in the | adagio, with its noble melody, than in the scherzo or the three allegro divigions, and it was this movement that was most | pleasantly given.

History will carry the name of General Cronje down to coming a one of the most heroic generals the world has ever known. Even his captors British, are unstinted in their praise of the gallant defense of the Boer gen eral, who, with an army of 4000 men, held at bay a British army of 45.000 diers equipped with all the modern weapons of warfare, their arjillery being cs- pecially death-dealing in its cons:ru.zuog on.d operation. Fresno Democrat. The surrender of Gemeral Cronje was not unexpected by those familiar the situation, and it came as a welcome surprise to the men of all nationa who were eager to see the brave little band rescued from a fate worse than death. Cronje’'s men had done all that was required of them and their heroism is on a par with the self-devotion of those who stood with Leonidas at Ther- mopylae. Whether Cronje's disaster will be regarded as a deliherate sacrifice, willingly made, to save the main Boer army from dispersion and destruction, or as a noble and desperate effort to delay the evil re Its of a fatal strategical blunder it will go down as a crowning* act of military martyrdom and a remarkable e ample of the patriotism of a bra\'e. un'd wfrllke people. Alameda Encinal. In the surrender of Cronje only the expected has happened. It has been appar- ent from the outset that while the Boers might be brave and might fi determinedly it was only & question of time before they would literally over- whelmed by numbers. That is what has happened to Cronje's army and it is doubtless what will In time happen to the rest of the Boer forces. Hawever, even though finally defeated, the Boers will have the credit of having made the pluckiest kind of a fight and of having caused John Bull one of the most unpleas- ant half hours in all his history. . v . Santa Roga Republican. Cronje and his men are heroes. The story of their courage will live in his- tory and be sung in the ages to come. For ten days of the most terrific bom- bardment they stood off many times their number of as good soldiers as ever car- rled guns. They held out to give time for the rallying of their country’s troops at other points. -Gloriously did they stop the advance of the British troops and their arms were not laid down until surrender had become the only alternative for annihilation. They are now prisoners of war, but their deeds of valor have been written upon the scrolls of fame. No wonder the London journals speak highly of them. It would not be Cr:dlt‘ahlo.fnr them to do otherwise. Bakersfield Californian. When it is revealed that this handful of men were sacrificing themselves for a purpose, that while they opposed with brave front and brought to a full stop the invasion of their territory, 3,000 of their countrymen were rushing to the ber- ders of the Transvaal and bullding a second line of defense to bar the further advance of the British, then the record of those ten days becomes doubly a heroie one, places Cronje in the front rank of the military commanders of the world and carfies along with the victory the sting of defeat.
