The Washington Union, in publishing the
sensible and candid speech Of Mr.. SMITH,
Of Tennessee, on the expenses Of the gov
eminent, says, in reference to the speech, it
was high time that the cant, against the
magnitude Of the public expenses, with
which Congress and the opposition press
have become so rife, should be refuted and
exploded. All the economy and all the pub
lie virtue did not belong to our ancestors.
One Of their dollars bought in their day
twice a. much as one of our dollars will buy
in our day. The expenditures of the Gov.
eminent in the year 1900 were S7.4ll 500;
which was equivalent in the money Of our
time to double the sum-; that is to say,
measured by the products, merchandise, ser
vice, and labor to buy it, was equal in our
money to $l5,O0OO0O. The expenses of
the Government in money Of the present
time were S72,50OOOO last year, inclusive
OF payments upon the public debt and at
the tine OF expensive distant wars. The
expenses during the present year will be
about 100000, or only four times THE
difference Of meney being considcred) as
great as in 1900 Yet our population is at
present six aud half times as great as in
1900 our territorial frontier ten times as
great our territorial area three tines az
great and our property seven and half
times as great. 1t thus results that every
effort to prove that we are now extrava.
gacs in our public expenditures proves also
that the men Of 800 we're much more so.
For ourselves. we are willing to be placed,
by the croakers and iault-fnders, in the
category of THOMAS JsFrErsoS and his CO.
temporaries.

Executive Council, which, with the Gov
ernor, constitute the Government Of the
Province. The revenues 60 to the provin-
cisl treasury. The Provinces have no such
system Of surveys as prevails in the West,
bot land IL sold in quantities to suit Dur,
cbasers. The price is not fixed by the local
Legislature. bat is left by that body to
the discretion Of the Government. The
price above named may therefore be con.
sidered as an arbitrary regulation rather
than fixed valuation.
TO tempt settlement into the more distant
and less accessible regions Of the Winnipeg
Bssin, the Government in charge Of that
section probably separate Colonial Gov
ernment--would undoubtedly accommodate
in scale Of prices to the exigencies Of the

Of our bonds, and depreciate their value in
the market, but they cannot, it is very certain,
prevent their ultimate negotiation. The
Mnnssot,an and its clique Of six, may sue
coed in bringing about crisis in the affairs Of
the companies, which will compel the
State to resort to tax to meet q portion
Of its conditional liabllities-but it cannot
compel the State 10 dishonor its obligations
or TO accept the prominence Of immortal
infamy, which the Minneso',an offers as its
reward for its own ruin.
In no event is such resort to taxation a
possible contingency, except IN Just such
depreciation Of the credit OF the State and
companies as the Mmnesot,an rs iabor,ng to
BRING about.
Precisely to the extent Of the influence of
that journal, and no more,-precsely in
proportion as its Misrepresentation affect
the standing Of the State and of the COM
panies in the market, and no more-will the
companies be liable to default, or the State
to the contingency of taxation.
Whatever influence abroad it derives from
its character as the organ Of the city coun-
CT or from its connection with such promi-
nent politicians as ALEX. RAMSEY, all tends
to the same end to make that ruin; or those
burdens probable, which are otherwise not
possible, and to crafty the pride, the ego
tism, the revenge and fulfil the prophecies
of these men, at the sacrifice of the common
veal
but these dogs, VIC apprehend, have had
their day. Of one thing We can assure our
readers, that if the conditions of which Gov.
SHELLEY is the bearer, should meet the appro-
val OF the companies, the negotiations will
not only be put upon basis whichwill ensure
their success upon terms so favorable as to
enable the companies to complete the roads,
but will exact such abundant guarantees,
outside the requirements Of the law, as will
compel them to complete the roads, to q
paying point beyond the possibility Of eva

Military Organization In Minnesota.

We are grati6ed to witness the enthusiasm
and spirit with which the citizen soldiery of
the State, are enrolling under the new or.
ganization. Minnesota will soon have q
military force, rivsling 10 numbers, and
which in point Of discipline will compare
with that Of any Of the older States. No
member of the confedersey has greater need
Of en- effective military organization and the
Commander-in- Chief is zealously providing
for oil possible contingencies on our frontiers,
by the establishment Of a thorough and COM
plete military system. The General Govern.
ment has presented the State with her quota
OF arms, consisting Of muskets, rifles, car.
bines, pistols and swords, OF the latest i'm
proved manufacture, and also number Of
six pound brass field pieces, with carriages,
caissOns, &c, DC.
That the new military law is an excellent
one. Is the general verdict of the military
men OF the State. 1t has recently been pub
lished in pamphlet form, with blank forms,
instructions, and description Of the pre-.
scribed uniform, and distributed by the
active and energetic Adjutant General
throughout the State. A number OF the best
citizens Of the State have been commissioned
under this law, and are employed In diligently
aiding in the organization of companies.
We understand that q parade encamp-
ment for review and inspection, will be or.
dered in the month Of July next, probably
in the vicinity OF Fort Smelling. At that
time, we may expect to see our crack COM
panies competing for the prize OF the State
colors, in drill and discipline on the tented
field.

The Massachusetts, House Of Represents
tves has adopted an amendment to the con
stitution, requiring residence Of two year.
in the State, subsequent to naturalization
for voting. The vote stood is yeas against
- nays--the affirmative votes berg those
OF the Republicans and the negative votes
Democratic. The effect Of this measure is
to require foreigners to reside in the State
seven years before they can exercise the right
Of suffrage. The same State, We believe,
permits an ignorant degraded runaway negro,
from a southern cotton plantation, to vote
after residence in the State OF one or two
years. We commend this case to the con.
sideration OF those persons OF foreign birth
in Minnesota who vote with the Republic
