ton. invasion or war. Section 3 au-
thorizcs the Governor to order out
militia by companies, or by counties,
but instructs him to have due regard
to sparsely settled frontier counties,
whose militia men shall not
be called away from their
own counties, except when de-
handed by imperative necessity.
Section 4 authorizes the organization
of independent militia companies,
whose officers shall be elected by the
members ofsuch companies and COM
missioned by the Governor. Section
s authorizes the Governor to arm,
equip aud organize the militia when
in his judgment he shall
deem it necessary for the protection
of the citizens thereof. Section 6
authorizes the Governor to appoint
and commission all militia officers
whose election is not provided for.
While this provision might techni.
cally be construed as sufficient au-
thority for the appointment of Aids
de.Camp, Quartermaster and Surgeon
Generals, Engineers-in- Chief, Briga'
der and Major Generals ad libitum'
We believe.the spirit, ifnot the letter
of the law, contemplates no such ap
pointments except in times of threat
enpd or actual invasion or insurrec'
ton. Does Governor Furnas pretend
that such an emergency exists or il
likely to occur during his present
term of Office?
Why then stretch the authority o
the law to such an extent? 1t may
be argued that there is no harm in al
this warlike trumpery, but we argue
that Nebraska is less in want OF al
these fuss and feather holiday officers
than she was at any time during he
history. She never did enjoy thu
protection of an Engineer in Chief
and still she hourished. She never
had a Surgeon.Genera to feel he
pulse and inspect her tongue, Blu
thank God she still survives. Sh'
never did have a Quartermaster Gen
eral, but by the blessings Of Provi'
dence she still manages to provide
her sons and daughters with nbun'
dant and wholesome food and decen,
garments. We would say in all can
dor to the Governor that, in GU
humble judgment, he can gain de
cidedly more respect and confidence
by acting as a patron Of peace thar
by exercising questionable functions
as a war Governor.

A questionable story, but told with
grave Enthusiastically, was pub

an elderly female, sister of Elder
Perry, of Wallace, arrived in that
place, and within a week or two en-
shared the affections Of a mourning
widower, and a marriage ensued.
After two weeks OF honeymoon the
new wife wanted money to visit her

THE MILITIA BUSINESS.

In times of peace prepare for war
is evidently the maxim that guides
Governor Furnas in his recent war,
like preparations. When the Gov
II appointed his first Adjutant
General we were disposed to look
upon the exercise Of this higher law
function as a matter of mere con-
v~enience. The private secretary of
His Excellency was a very proper
person for such a position. inasmuch
Is his constant presence at the State
capital enables him to attend to any
requisition for arms or munitions of
war in cases of extraordinary emer-
gency. When apprised of the ap-
pointment of a second Adjutant Gen.
sral, at Schuyler, we were disposed
to ridicule the performance.
Now, that we are assured that the
Governor has gone into the whole
sale commission business, we arc be-
ginning to look upon this sudden
manufacture of generals, colonies,
and majors, from a more serious
standpoint. According to the Bea-
trice Express, II. w. Parker, Esq,
Of hat city, has received a brigadier-
generals commission, with the title
of Engineer-in,Ch Of the State
militia, and the Omaha Republican
informs us that Mr.. L. Il. Test, of this
city, holds another brigadier's com
mission as acknowledgement,
while DR.. Wilkinson, of Dakota City,
has been dubbed a surgeon-general.
Now what does all this mean?
Where does the Governor derive his
authority for issuing these commits
sions9 Why does he issue them at q
time Of profound peaceG Before en-.
tering upon any argument touching
the legality Of these commissions VIC
must assume that the Governor Of
this State is to be guided and con-
trolled in all his actions by the o II
stitution and lawsof this State, which
are the foundation of all his powers
and prerogatives. The Constitution
of this State makes the Governor the
Commsnder>in.Ch of the military
and naval forces Of the State.
On the other hand, the constitution
clothes the Legislature with the sole
power to organize the militia and
provide for their government. Sec
ton 20, article Legislature, reads as
follows: "The Legislative shall de-
termine what persons shall constitute
the militia of the State, and may
provide for organizing and disciplin-
ing the same in such manner as shall
DO prescribed by law" In other
words, the Legislature shall frame
the laws for the organization of mil
itia, and the Governor shall execute
these laws. Now, the only provis.
ions made by the Legislature for the
organization of militia, will be found
upon pages 470, II and ~, of the
revised statutes. That act Is SUBJ
s~tsntially as follows:
Section l designates the persons IL
able to militia duty. Section 2declares
that the Governor, a Commander,
in-Chisi Of the militia, may order
sNt the militia IN ease of insurrec.

these gave him more light and satis-

all other sources, and on them he
based whatever religious belief he
had in the last years of his lite. 1t is
unfair to quote his words while he
was passing through a period and ex-
p%erience of great religious doubt and
perplexity. He was a Christian Ra-
tionalist Of the Parker and Claiming
school.
