[For the American Republican,

IMessrs. Editors,-In your paper a few days
past you noticed the imperfect system of the
Militia, and invited suggestions to remedy it,
The Militia law was passed by Congress IN the
year 1892, and afterwards by the States; and at
this time the militia are no more improved than
at the first. To remedy it, would advise the
repeal of all militia laws, and pass one to EN-
courage volunteer uniform companies of Artil-
ery and Infantry, by granting the members and
officers exemptions from serving on juries,
working on the county roads, and deducting a
per centage off their taxes, say from 10 to Is
per cent, in consideration of their services; by
which means we should have always ready a
body of men TO take the field-one hundred OF
whom would be of more service than a thou
sand common militia. lwould further observe,
that the State should supply them with arms
and accoutrements, and they find their own
uniform, which should be as cheap and plain as
possible. There is one truth which every body
will admit, that no one feels like a soldier un-
less he is dressed as one.
If you think the above suggestions worthy
of notice, you can give them place in your
paper. AN OLD OFFICER.

floral and horticultural displays, to pay visit
to Mr.. Douglas Green House, which is at the
corner of q. and 18th streets, near the State

House, MIR. Douglas has lately erected one of
the most elegant, substantial, and capacous

TAXATION,

A stamp tax Is but mark set OH things that
pay custom to government, and it is necessary
and proper for the erigencies Of State. You
cannot be protected, or sheltered from evil, I'M
less You are taxed; and you have no moral
right to be protected, unless you contribute to
support the government.
Now, the amount of property that is protec-
ted by government, that neglects to support
government, in the absence Of a stamp tax, is
not small. READ AND REFLECT.
