We are prepared to be- lieve. we are anxious to believe,”that the appointments from civil life to the line of the volunteer army are as legit- imate and meritorious as the promo- tions from the line of the army itself. ., It is not the unknown names in the list of appointments to the army that have sickened the public. it is the llamas that are trail known through no set of the wearers of them. it is the appoiliitment of a John Jacob Astor to be lieutenant colonel, the appointment of a grandson of Ulysses S. Grant, the appointment of a son of James G. Blaine. the appointment of a son of John A. began. the appcititment of a son of_this senator and that representa- tive. the appointment of two sons of Calvin 8. Brice. There is plainly no sort of relevancy in such appointments to the good oi the service, which is the object which an intelligent and patrio- tic president would continually bear in mind. Every such appointment is dis- tinctly injurious 'to the service. for it distinctly tends to demorallze and dc- bauch the service. What can be the feelings of an officer who for 'a decade or a score 'of years has zealously stud- ied his profession and striven to master it. in the hope that when war came his preparation would win him notice and preferment. when he finds men put over his head because they are the sons of their fathers or the grandsons of their grandfathers. because their grand- fathers fought for the country. because their fathers are senators. or come from Ohio. or because they themselves are known as "multimillionaircs." One such appointment is enough to injure the tone of the army. Twenty of them together constitute as deadly a blow against the efficiency of the army as the president could administer if he had taken the odvlcc of Bsgastu and Blanca instead of the senators and rep- resentatlvea and political iobbers whore 'pressurc he has shown himself unable to resist. Such weakness is as baleful in its results as deliberate wickedness. Metropolitan Press Comments.

The assumption is that the largely increased circulation of the papers is eatremely renumerativs to the publishers. ‘The contrary. is. however. the fact. The expense incur- red by any one of the leading journals in gathering war news far exceeds the amount of money received from in- creased circulation.‘ There is very. lit- ‘tle profit in circulation per cent for the one cent daily paper. The papers are sold to the newsboys at from to to 60 cents a hundred, which barely cov- ers the cost of the white paper upon which the journals are printed. It is mainly upon theadvertlsing thatpublish ere must rely for their profit. in these times of war, however. the volume 0! advertising is contracted to a marked degree. Many liberal advertisers have either stopped advertising altogether or have citt down their expenditures 50 or fill per cent. General advertising re- mains perhaps the some. it is often or- gued that a largely increased circulation in times like the present attracts ad- vertisers and increases rates. This. however. is not true. it is undoubted- iy true in ordinary times, but these are not ordinary times. if the war should continue during the present your there will not be many newspapers in New York in New York city that will be able to show as large a profit on the busi- ness as last yeah—Fourth Estate. ..... w--.“ 9......— ilEV.
