TUB SETEVTB DUTBICT FOUCB COIOIIMIOSKR, Some days ago the Picayune referred to the new law which requires the election by, the City Council of a member of the Police Board from the Seventh, or Carrollton, District of the city. Reference was made to the candidacy for the position of Mr. Jacob Nie-naber, a resident of that district. The Picayune mentioned that objection by a large number of citixeus of the dis trict was made to Mr. Nienaber te-cuuse he is a groi-er and proprietor of a bar where liquors are retailed, and it wus not considered just to Mr.

Nie-naber, uor to the interest of law and order, to put him in a position where he would be concerned in the enforcement or non-enforctfinent of the law closing on Sunday places where liyuors are sold. Mr. Nieuaber has made a statement, published some days ago in the Pica-yuue, to the effect that he is a candidate for election to the position of Police Commissioner; that he desires the office, and that if he takes an oath to enforce the laws, he will do bo to the best of his ability. The Tieayune does not question Mr. Nienabor's general good character, or his good inteutious with regard to his duty; but the laws wisely require the judge of a court who may have any personal interest at stake to recuse himself aud retire from the bench when such a case shall come before him.

The law does not question the honesty of any judge under such circumstances, but it relieves him from any strain of anxiety or responsibility under all such conditions. For a like reason, without any personal reflection on anybody, the enforcement of the Sunday law ought not to be put in the hands of a retail liquor dealer. To do so would be contrary to the good policy which the law has carefully laid down for the conduct of judges of courts, men whose official honesty is expected to be specially established. The Picayune, therefore, for the best possible consideration of public policy, and for no private or personal reason whatever, is strongly opposed to the candidacy of Mr. Nienaber for a police commissionership, and in this connection it desires to recommend for the place that well-known citizen, W.

R. Lyman, a prominent resident of Carrollton. Colonel Iy man is not engaged in any business which can interfere with his administration as a member of the Police Board. He is a citizen of excellent standing, a man of the highest character and of tine intelligence, with considerable experience in serving on public official and other boards. Mr.

Lyman, without prejudice to anybody else, will make a capital Police Commissioner, and the Picayune, therefore, heartily commends him for the place. THE PROBLEH OP DEFEME, Now that the war is st an end, no time should be lost in profiting by Its lessons and preparing for future emergencies. The most serious lesson taught by the war was that our military system, as far as it applies to the land force, is wofully defective. For-tnuately for us, we had to deal with a weak nation, without money resources, and with no real sea power. Had we been compelled to contend with a really first-class power, our army would have been in no way able to meet the demands that would have been made on it, except after long and disastrous delay.

The truth of the matter Is, we havo plenty of military material, but no Volunteers make excellent soldiers when there is time to train them; but they are not available for a sudden emergency. While this is a fact that all fair-minded people are bound to 'admit, there are, nevertheless, insurmountable objections to a large standing army In a country such as ours. It will, therefore, be necessary to adopt a middle course. An attempt is being made to make it appear that the National Guard system was a failure, and to use this claim as an argument in favor of maintaining a large standing army. The Picayune does not believe that the National Guard system was a failure by any means.

Had it not been for the National Guard, it would have been almost im-possible to have raised a force of volunteers within thirty days, as was actually done. Those States which possessed large and well-equipped National Guard organisations furnished their quota promptly, and the balance of the first levy of volunteers was officered largely by National Guardsmen. How was it possible for the National Guard to furnish the regiments required when the law changing the sise and organization of regiments was actually passed the day before the call for volunteers was issued? It was the enforced reorganisation, to comply with the new law, that injured the National Guard organizations, as well es the rigorous physical examinations which were required. A modification of the National Guard system would, if properly carried out, provide the reserve that the arjny should have to meet in a sudden emergency. The National Guard should be uniformly organised in every State that is to say, the law should be the same all over the country.

The National Government should provide the uniforms and equipment needed, and maintain at all time supplies and arms sufficient, to promptly mobilize half a million men. The present cumbersome staff departments should be done away with, and a general staff system such as is maintained in, most European countries substituted. The transport service should be turned over entirely to the NaTy Department, as more competent to deal; with the problems involved than the War Department, and arrangements should be made for frequent mobilisation'! of troops la large bodies, so that actual war conditions cau be Imitated aa closely aa possible, i-tiwj navy Is concerneoV there should be more" ehlpa, more oQ- eers and men, ahi greater docking facilities. With bdesert ens: scattered in various parts tC the world. It wflf be Impossible to.

get along with, the present At -the present time 'the actual need's of, the service keep afloat not only the. entire force of regular officers, but many hundreds of retired and volunteer officers tides. It is apparent that large proportion of the officers must be given shore dnty in ordinary times, and retired officers, unless the laws are changed, cannot do active duty In time of peace. Some provision therefore, have to be made not only to increase the force of regular officers, but also to provide a proper and efficient naval reserve for service in time of war. TUB PHILIPPINE PIZILK.

Now that the preliminaries of peace have been agreed upon, the settling of the details will be left to the joint commission of Americans 'and Spaniards. The arranging of these detail will involve the atraightening-out of many complications; but, of all, none will be anything like so difficult as will the fixing of the status of the Philippine Islands. The main question is going to be, not what shall be done, but what can be done with the islands and their people. If nothing remained but to decide that the L'nited States will take all, or a portion, rjr Done of the Philippine territory, the situation would be simple enough; but the Philippine insurgents are to be reckoned with. Tbosa people are in active armed rebellion against the Spanish Government, and the American forces acted with them until their chief, Aguinaldo, declared himself dictator and assumed, so far as he could, control of the affairs of the rebellion.

Since then a coldness has existed between Aguinaldo and the United States authorities in Luzon. If the United States were to demand and take the entire croup of the Philippines, there would be only the insurgents to be reckoned with, snd they could be conquered by force or pacified by peaceful measures; but if the United States shall consent to be satisfied with a coaling station in Lu ton, and shall leave tne greatest part of that island and the whole of the others iu possession of the sovereignty of Spain, when Spain is so weakened, physically and financially, that she cannot cope with the rebels or maintain her dominion over them, what is going to happen? How far do our responsibilities go in the premises? Somebody says: "The United States will have no responsibilities in the matter. Let the Spaniards and their insurgent subjects ngbt it out." But have we no responsibilities? We have destroyed the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay; we have weakened the Spanish forces by war and starvation, and we have furaiahed arms and other ma terial aid to the rebels: We have so disabled the Spaniards that they cannot maintain their authority in the islands, and we have made their defeat by the rebajs a certainty. Then France or Germany, taking advantage of conditions which the United States have created, will either seize or buy the islands and use" them to the detriment of America's great commercial interests in China. There is another question that probably will not be considered at all; but since the war with Spain was a "holy war," waged to give all Spain's oppressed subjects their liberty and independence, it cannot in conscience be ignored, and It is this: "With what face can we abandon the Luzoneee, either to the tyranny of Spain or to the greed and rapacity of France or Germany?" It is true that nobody who has read history has the slightest belief that nations are actuated in war and politics by any but the basest and most selfish motives; but not at least be moderately honest, and, therefore, why make war upon the hypocritical pretense that it is done wholly and exclusively to dispense and distribute to oppressed peoples the blessings of independence, self-government and liberty? From a political point of view, a nation which has liberty of action is bound to do nothing except to consult its own interests, and if it shall choose to oppress and do wrong to nations that are too weak to retaliate, it can do so with impunity.

A nation is not bound by moral obligations; but the people who are responsible for the acts of a government cannot escape such obligation. OIB BEST CUSTOMER. Elsewhere the Picayune prints a communication from a correspondent who is bitterly opposed to any friendly relations between the United Suites and England. He wants to see Russia, France and Germany crush England, so that the United States can succeed to England's great commerce. The United States should be the foremost commercial country, thinks this correspondent, and would be but for the destruction of American merchant ships by "Semmes." Probably nothing could be more absurd than that Admiral Semmes is the cause of the low' place of the United States to-day in the world's carrying trade.

Semmes destroyed a good number of Yankee ships; but why, at the close of the war, did not the Yankee merchants and shipbuilders replace those 'that had been destroyed? 'The war only lasted four years, and at its close the Northern people were enor mously rich and could have built thousands of ships if they had so chosen. The simple reason was and is that hi those four years of war there had been a radical change in the construction of ships. They were no longer tnade of wood and propelled by sails and the wind. The material had changed to iron and steel, and the propelling power to steamy of mechanics who work tn Iron and steel and of sailors axs so much, higher la the United States that our shipbuilders cannot compete with foreignenu. Eng land, Belgium, Germany, France and r.

Italy, can build andf operate steanv- shlps cheaper than we ang they do it That is all of the-matter, eW if Russia, France and Germany should destroy England's power- and drive her ships from the; seas, other European nations wouid take charge of the world's earning business, and we would be left out In the cold, as we now ere. So far from profiting by the destruc tion of England as a commercial nation, we would lose immensely, be cause, in buying our products, England is by far oar beet customer. Take the official figures furnished by the Treas ury Department of the. United States. In the year 184)7 the United Kingdom of Great Britain bought from the United States products to the amount of $483,000,000, in round numbers.

RsMla txrofht. Kraore $7,000,000 5S.OCO.O0U 123.000,000 Oermtnj bought. Total 91VO.00O.00O The three European powers that are to destroy England for oar benefit bought from us, last year, of our products, while England bought $483,000,000. England is worth to us more than all the rest of Europe, because all the European nations last year, oulide the United Kingdom, purchased of our products only $330,000,000, to England's Why, then, should we want our best customer destroyed for the benefit of the poorest? But allowing that the other European nations hate England; does that make them love us? During the entire duration of the war with Spain, the only country in which an American could tind friendship and sympathy was England, and but for the fact that England refused to go into any European coalition against the United States, one would have been formed to aid Spain. Leaving friendship out of the question, for human nature is too selfish to cherish much real friendship and gratitude, the question comes up on a purely selfish basis: Do we want to see our best customer destroyed? THE CASUALTIES OF THE WAR.

The war just brought to a close so triumphantly for American arms has developed many interesting surprises, not the least of which ia the compara tively light bloodshed. Even Spain has suffered less in killed and wound ed than would have been thought at all possible when war commenced. With both belligerents using the most improved of modern weapons, small arms as well as heavy ordnance, it was generally expected that the "butcher's bill" would be extremely heavy; whereas the actual facts show that it was light by comparison with former wars, in which decidedly cruder weapons were used. One of the theories which the reluctance of modern nations to en gage in war has been based la the destructiveness of modern weapons. As a matter of fact, the question of expense has been a much more iinpor tant deterrent than the possible bloodshed.

Now that modern weapons have been tested in actual warfare both on land and sea, it is found that the fear that modern wars would prove more bloody than the wars of former daya was a mistaken, idea. In all of the recent wars, namely, those be tween China and Japan, Greece and Turkey, and the one just closed be tween the United States and Spain, the same comparative lightness of the "butcher bill" has been conspicuous. In all three of these wars modern weapons were used, including machine guns. The fact of the matter ia that the tendency of modern warfare is to re-dace the number of killed and wounded. The further back history is studied the greater will the destructiveness of war be found to have been.

In the olden days, before the advent of gunpowder, when physical force alone was depended on, the battles were far more bloody, the percentage of the slain being not only much greater in proportion to the number of men engaged, but actually heavier than in more modern times, compared with the amber of those wounded. It was a survival of the fittest then, with small quarter to the vanquished, and little or no attention to the wounded. Modern weapons are decidedly humane, as they compel long-distance fighting, and force generals to put more ieliance on strategy and advantage of position than upon numerical strength and mere physical force. The destruction of the fleets of Mon-tojo and Cervera was accomplished with the loss on our side of one man killed and not more than a half-doxen wounded. Such victories are without parallels in naval history.

Had there been but one such victory as, for instance, that of Manila it might have been regarded as a fortunate accident; but the defeat of Cervera was a mere repetition of the defeat of Montojo. It was the superiority of the American ships and guns, as well as greater skill of American officers anl American gunners, that made such bloodless victories possible. Had the battles ben fought in the old-time way, with old-time our loss would have been several hundred at least. It is true that the Spaniards lost severely in both actions; but even their loss was not to be compared with the losses sustained by the vanquished In the naval fights of Nelson's time, when the decks of ships, fighting yard srm to yard arm, became steaming slaughter-pens, so encumbered with the dead and wounded as to impede the fighting of the In the battle of Santiago the casualties were fairly large: but they in no sense compare with the losses daring the battles of the Civil War. When the momentous resTtfta of the war are considered and the vasty out1 of money; represented, the waste of hu inaii blood was happily, "wonderfully It may be'egaln repeated, that It is the- expense of modern war, and i wwvuoucu, ui WKd UOOH from indulging 'in bosttBtiee often as fornlerlyb The report Of -cae oommandlar officers ot oar army whenevet Jtgfetlng has oe-cnrredMn wnfeh.
