BRAZOS RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
The engineer's report on the condi-
I lions in the Brazos river are most en-
i couraging to those who would like to
i see that stream rendered navigable fot
light draft freight steamers up as fat
as Waco. There are several proposi-
tions as to methods and cost submit
ted In connection with the survey or-
dered. From these It would appeal
' that the removal of obstructions and
; some sandbars that interfere with nav
1 i gat ion up as far as Washington could
। be effected at a very light expense
while the building of reservoirs and
the assurance of navigable water the
year round would mount up in the
millions. What is needed is the more
direct and obvious and cheaper work
of clearing the channel and giving to
navigation all that the natural stage
of the water would aflord. In most
seasons this would avail for the bring-
ing down of the bulk of the cotton and
other summer products that are mark-
eted in the fall and winter to the sea
board and largely lessen the cost of
their transportation to the seaboard.
Perhaps it would be well to make this
improvement first and watch the man-
ner in which it Is taken advantage of
by the planters and cotton farmers
along this immensely productive val-
ley. Once the advantage of such
means of crop moving is demonstrated
there would be a growing demand fot
the more valuable work of storage res-
ervoirs for low stages of water and
with the increasing utilization of the
means of transportation as provided
there would be a natural increase in
the provision itself. Thus gradually
and only in answ’er to the demand that
would be made and utilized would
the work be ordered until the best pos-
sible would be seen to be none too
good for the real needs of the trade up
and down the river. Congress will
have this work under consideration la
ter in the session but not until the re-
port of the engineer has been careful
ly examined in the war department and
passed upon. There is not a doubt
that within a decade the work of im
proved navigation in that river will be
available for hundreds of miles.

The intelligent people of the South
are in favor of the distinctive policies
'of the Republican party according to
the address made before the industrial
convention by General Gordon of Geor-
gia. who said that the people of the
south are no longer in favor of a nar
row or contracted policy but they fav-
or the Nicaragua canal the open dooi
in the Orient and all that is connected
! therewith. Perhaps but the Demo-
j cratic party is opposed to all this upon
its platform and declarations and
there is not a state in tin south that
will not follow the Democrats into the
camp of all narrowness sooner than
aid the Republicans in securing the
proper support in congress through
■the congressional elections to make
। this broad policy so eloquently plead
ed for successful. It is a clear case
of party versus commercial and indus-
trial necessity and good horse sense
with the party coming out on top every
time. That is it.
o
If there i* any im|*riali-tu under the
skirt' of Ilie president's toga there is
I no evidence of it in hi* nii"agc or ill
inv of the paper* that hi ha* presented
the country or in any of hi' reported
'p<-eche' or in any of hi' conversations
since the election. The indorsement
that he received at the Land* of the
elector* certainly justified him in be-
lieving that hi* policy va» the policy
of the people and that he would be just-
ified in giving it ample ami prompt ex-
pression. He ha* not a word
' is to the foreign policy of the country
since then that was not .-oqtziilly or cor-
l redly represented in some former pa
’per or speech. He ha* been consistent
throughout and in all things i* the clear-
j headed straight forward statesinan.
He sounded the key note of the admin-
isti'iitioii four leal' ago almost and he
| ha* not deviated from that a percepti-
ble hair. lie can le relied on in the

|x-ople know this tiny return him to

o
The comment on the displacing of
the canteen by the dram shop of the
neighborhood as was practically done
in that vote in the lower house of
congress when the amendment of the
army bill carried against the can-
teen. is not all in favor of that meas-
ure by a large majority. Some of the
I most conservative journals in the coun-
I try deprecate that action of congress
as likely to increase drunkenness in
the army and therefore to be deplored.
It is the same thing over and over as
is seen in those cities and towns that
absolutely prohibit the sale of liquors.
Men unable to buy a drink buy the bot-
tle of doctored damnation at the blind
hole in the wall and have a debauch
until it is disposed of. The testimo-
ny of American cities is all ti this ef-
fect. Judiciou license decreases drink-
ing and drunkenness and a respectable
canteen has the same result in the
army. This is the testimony of the
army officers. It is a real pity that
bald fanaticism instead of real good
horse sense should prevail in a ease of
this kind.

SOLDIERS ON THE MARCH.
Their I.ouk Marehr I mler Haratra
Are Kxceritlnalf Tolls and
Dlplrltliia.
The foot soldier is in anachronism
as archaic as the man at nrms with
his halberd or the archer with his
cloth-yard shaft. The modern foot
soldier is not only a fighting machine
he is also a beast of burden and no
man can be both with success. The
American infantryman equipped for
war is weighted down with rifle bay-
onet ammunition clothing shelter
tent water bottle and haversack in
all sonic 60 pounds in weight. It is a
common belief that a soldier is so
strong and hardy that he docs not
feel the burden; that lie can inarch
10 or 15 miles with 60 pounds about
bis body and not mind it; that like
the well-trained athlete who thrives
tinder violent exercise he enjoys hav-
ing to transport all this parapher-
nalia. Now. as a matter of fact that
is the one thing of all others which
the soldier.despises. He doesn’t mind
the fighting: be can put up with heat
or cold. and. although he may growl
when his rations are short he accept*
that ns a part of the day's work: bill
to turn himself into a porter to be a
coolie and the bearer of burdens is
the thing he abominates say* Forum.
There is nothing more depressing
to the spirits nothing more devital-
izing nothing which makes a greater
drain on a man than u inarch. There
is nothing picturesque nothing ex-
hilarating. nothing to break the hor-
rible monotony of this seemingly in-
terminable plodding through baking
dust or clogged mud or chilling snow.
All the color of war has gone. Tbcre
are no bnnds to make men forget their
fatigue no waving plumes and flut-
tering flags to excite the imagina-
tion. no spectators to stimulate pride
—there is no scenery even. War is
now a monochrome; everyone dresses
the same khaki loses its semblance
of color and takes on the color of the
dirt or mud of the country thmiigh
which the army inarches and no man
sees more than the man in front of
him or the man on each side of him.
Hour after hour this goes on; rifles
become heavier ammunition belts
chafe more gallingly. haversacks and
water bottles strike in a tender s|iot.
shoes get filled with grit which makes
each step au agony. If after a long
march men are thrown into action
they have lost their vim and their
power of resistance and it is only by
sheer nerve that they arc able to
stand up to the rat-1. Nine times out
of fen infantry are sent into action
with their nerves unstrung simply
because they have been broken down
by the strain which has been put
upon them. To get the best results
out of men they should go into action
in a perfect physical condition bnt«
they arc generally weakened by the
drain made upon them.
The remedy for this n remedy
which will not only increase the ac-
tual physical strength of an army
but wilt also give if that mobility
which is all-essential is to give each
man his own means of transport
that is to mount him. The armies
of the future will be armies of mount-
ed infantry.
