Our Militia.

The militia systems of most Of on,
States-Minnes,ta included-have al.
ways been very imperfect. Several
carly victories Of patriotic mobs over
regular troops unluckily convinced OUT
ancestors that discipline was almost
worthless. Hence resulted those un-
uniformed aud rabbi like "traininss "
which long made US the laughing.stock
Of Europe.
Even the war has not fully taught
US The Importance Of this matter. a
well-arn'ed, ca.eIully.drilled, neatly
uniformed, and enthusiastic militia is
the most effectual safeguard which a
community can possess against foreign
cncroachment and damestic usurpation.
We regret that Minnesota cannot claim
to have it now. Our organizations are
few in number and unreliable in mate
rial. There is no evidence of that emu
lous interest which is essential 10 i'm.
provement. On the contrary, unless
some steps are taken to create a more
vivid e*p,et de corps, there is every
probability that matters will grow worse
instead Of better.
A certain wise old provcrb AYERS that
" the best way to improve ourselves is
to initiate the merits Of Others" Our
Legislators would do we'll to adopt from
the systems Of older Nations and States
such Of their best features as would not
entail too great expense nor be unsuited
to the genius OF our people. 1t mi"ht
be we'll to furnish all completed organ
nations with uniforms aud necessary
equipments, and establish prizes for
in drill aud target practice.
There should be Al earnest endeavor to
rouse spirit Of competition ia the dif-
ferent regiments and companies. This
would probably result in greatly in
creas;ng. their number and efficiency -
There is no good reason why we should
lag behind other States in these
respects.-lfoneer.
