Thb Power of the Press, as well

heartily concurs iu the recommenda
tions of the Superintendent of West
Point that the number of cadets be
increased by allowing each Senator to
appoint one and the President to
nominate forty, whereas he now names
but ten.
Gen. Williams is not satisfied with
the showing Indian soldiers have
made, and he does not hesitate to say
that the limit of their usefulness in
the military establishment is scout
and skirmish duty.
The Indian is not very adaptable lo
discipline at best, and to station him
as n soldier near tho reservation is
fruitful of discontent, because ho will
compare the restraints of military life
with the freedom and indolence of bis
brethren on the reservation. A lack
of knowledge of the Eoglish langunge,
a strong repugnance to work, illiter
acy and no fumiliarity with athletic
sports are also against tbe Indiana'
development as an arm of the regular
army.
The General also recommends suit
able courses at post schools for en
bated men who are ambiiious tosecure
com missions.
Gen. Williams will be placed on the
retired list nest month.

show a total of 702, of which 41 died
and 3!)8 havo been discharged. A
