Sheridun. Gen. Schofield Is fhe last of the veterans of the war who commanded an army, who fought a battle himself as such, and the record of his active service in the field is full of brilliant achievements. But In addition to those he has accomplished in an administrasubstantia! tive way matters of such benefit to the army that- - hia reputation might safely rest alone on them. First of all he has been an artillery officer, and has kept miiHtanily in view the imixirtaoce of bringing this arm of the service up to perfection. As the senior member of the Fortification Board since its creation, he has lust no opportunity to encourage invention and the development of modern ordnance and coast defense. He has inaugurated a system of higher education among the younger officers of the ordnance and artillery branches that lias had remarkably successful results. Young who showed special aptitude in the schools have lieen sent to the arsenals by his orders. Lyceum Instruction has been afforded others, and a complete instruction In special liranch-e- s has been given to officers and men by means of pamphlets prepared under the direction of Gen. Schofield by experta In each branch. In the wldpr field of army reorganisation the General has played an Important part. He has for years been an earnest advocate of the organisation, and to him is owed the adoption of the policy of concentration of troops in the great railroad centers and on exposed points In the coasts and the abandonment of small posts. It is also a notable fact that under his administration of the army has come an end of the Indian wars that have ravaged tlie Western country since its settlement, which may be at least in part attributed to the skillful handling of the troops, that haa made it manifest to even the Indians that their struggles were hopeless. In time of civil disturbances the General has shown himself a most wise and discreet conun.indcr. He Is largely responsible for the admirable const ruction of the posse comllntiis lawn, which have never lieen disturbed by the courts, and during the great labor strikes of last year It was his wisdom In the administration of these laws that prevented any serious conflict between the National and State authorities while using the army to afford proper protection to National interests.
