Advara eoaaateat was ta aiotptioa
decidedly. Nearly avary eoa who spoke
gave cordial approval to tba Preaideat't
atieraaea aad at they may aaaaa to
Imply. . ' '
It I andantood that what tba Presi
dent said was la reaalt of dallbarattoa
deuralaed apod after eoajaultati) wiU
lb members f kis eablaet, prior I lb
departure from this dty. It may a re
garded a the key not of anothwr branch
of tba President's policy, aad deaigaed
to link his aame to wrenu aad transact
ioas making a paga ta the history of the
republic not outshone la brightness by
any other. Tn stirring aad thickly
crowding Incidents and issue upon
which public attention has centered
for tbe last twelve month have unques
tionably broadened tb public character
of the President and developed la him
thoughts and feelings, of which he was
before unconscious.
At tb period he entered opoa the
presidency ther was no anticipation la
his mind, or la that of any other, that
bis administration would be marked by
any unusual occurrences or con sequence
A high tariff measure waa expected, and
also more or lees remedial currency leg
islation. That was about all. Yet, almost
In the twinkling of an eye tb -country
was plunged Into a foreign war, and
questions of tb greatest moment fol
lowed almost precipitately. It was a
wise and fortunate stroke for tb Presi
dent when he put souther men la high
places of command. It tended to wreathe
a halo around hi name, sad It aet off tbe
spark of dosir to hew a broader and
mora enduring path along tb same Una.
It i not to be marveled at that thr
project of eipansion, born aVmoil In a
moment, dazxled the Imagination of tbr
President and excited his ambition. - If
t Is possible to mak this redound to tbe
lry and the welfare of the country the
President may succeed la writing his
name ta living letters forth respect and
homag of future generations' of LI
countrymen and of the world. But If all
blaviews and aspirttloos la regards to this
are doomed to defeat andd ltaster he may
well be content to rest his chances for
enduring and -honorable fame upon the
uappy fulfillment of the promts which
he yesterday held out to the ear of tbe
south. Even at a distance of hundreds
and thousands of miles there can be
heird In fancy, the roar of that great
volume of appreciation and reciprocity
bursting rrom tbe tnroal ol toe warm
hearted, brave and cblvalric peoplu who
listened.

as follow: "The ,oluaer should b
muaiataa eat al the earliesl possible mo
ment. They enlisted for war when sol
diers were seeded for actlr aervio aad
many of I hem did so at great pecaalary
and pareoaal eacrifloa. To hole them la
the e nrlce for garriaoa duty would b
a gross Injustice. Ta adalaiatrailoa

th volunieer aa ooa as regulars eaa be
secured to tak their place, bat th bill
providing for a permanent increase la
th rwrolar army la likely to arouse dls
cos. ion and delay lb day ot discharge.
Many consider that lb army as it stool
bVor th war wa sufficient for all do
mestic purpose. I share la this belief.
If the volunteer are to be held a host
ages to force a permanent increase la the
regular army a prolonged contest Is in
evitable. I think it will be better to recruit a
temporary army of occupation to erv
la Cuba, Porto RIoo and th Philippines.
Thit would poatpon tba discussion as
to tbe tegular army until a mora coa-
enlent season. There Is no Important
dty for action in. regard to the reg
ular armyNbut these is need for immedi
ate action iaegsrd tthe volunteers
After th army ot occupation Is re
cruited and th volunteers mustered out.
Congress can deliberate opoa "th vari
us planji proposed and make suitable
provision for such a regulsr army as
mi j be decided to be necessary. Con
gress could fix a maximum and empower
tb President to recruit within that limit
so many aa may be necessary for an army
of occupation.
The enlistment could be made for two
or three years, unless sooner discharged
Before th term of service expires the
country will have a settled policy and
can then decide whether such an army is
longer required. -
The bill codld provide for tb reduc-
tio i ot the fore at any tims and for tb
entistm. nt of the natives at tbe dlacre
thu of tbe President, la recruiting this
army of ocrnpalloa preference should b
given to th volunteers now in the ser

the voluutref regiments now ia the ser
vice permitted to elect their own ffl'-er
from amon their associates n w in the
