leading military officers of the different
States will be held in January, to take
whatever action may be necessary to
make the military force Of each State an
efficient military organization, and to sub
NIT to the present Congress plans propos-
ed in support Of bill appropriating
81 100000 annually for arms, ammunition
and other stores, TO be apportioned among
the different States. The movement has
been taken up in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Rhode Island, Illinois, Iowa,
Vermont, Alabama and other States.
The Governor of Idaho, in approving the
plan, says the recent Nez Perces and
Bannock wars found him poweress for
want of militia, the Legislature having
refused TO enact militia laws. Other
Western Governors are much interested
in the plan Of national militia organi-

EDISON con ntnues hard at work with
ais experiment on electric light. The
inventors faith in the practicability of
his invention is shown by the estimated
cost OF the experiment. He proposes to
start in at Menlo with 1000 lights, using
telegraph poles with fifteen lights on each
arm. This experiment, including the
cost Of the buildings, engines, generating
machines, and everything, he thinks,
will eat up from $4,000 to 100000. One
of his assistants says: ~ always go on
the principle Of adding thirty per cent. to
the estimated cost of all experiments.
and find myself nearer right in the end.
1t will cos t nearer $l25, 900 than 100000
to make this experiment vt Menlo.

SOUTHERN In March,
1861, the Confederate Congress adopted
the so-called stars and bars flag, compos-
ed of three horizontal bars of equal width
tho middle one white, the others red with
blue union containing nine stars in
white arranged in a circle. The resem-
hlance OF this 10 the Stars and Stripes Of
Ten led to confusion, and in September of
that year battie-Aag was adopted, which
had red field charged with blue saltier
with narrow border of white, on which
were displayed thirteen white stars. In
1868 the "stars and bars" flag was sup
planted by flag with white field, hay
ing the bsttle-fag for union. This flag
was found to be deficient in service, it
being liable TO be mistaken for flag Of
truce, and February 4, 1865, the outer
half Of the field beyond the union was
covered with vertical red bar. This was
the last Hag Of the Confederacy .-Neiv

CHATTANOOGA is the only Republican
town in Tennessee, and the Commercial
Of that place thIs sums up the good
results: "To the fact that it has given
steady Republican majorities, Chatta
nooga owes today its rapid growth in
population and manufactures. Hesitating
capitalists have accepted this as an
indication of free and liberia, political
opinion, as an Indication of good govern
ment, and have invested their money
with US and given our laborers employ
ment. Under Republican rule Chatta-
noega has the best school system in :he
State, has the largest amount Of manu-
featuring capital, and has the largest
influx of population OF any town in the

CONTEMPLATED CABINET CHANGES.
The New York Times Washington

changes in the Cabinet, says; 1t ia prob =
able that Devens will succeed Shepey.
Gossip gives Secretary Thompson as
Devens, successor, and Eugene Hale as
Thsmpson's s successor in the Navy De-
partment. Joseph X. McCammon, of
Philadelph ia, AZ present Assistant Attor-
ney General, will be appointed Assistant
Commissioner of Patents. vice Dooittie,
who will be made Exam ner of Patents.
The appointment of McCammon was Do
cided upon some time ago, but owing to
the fact that he was engaged in .rying
the Pacific Railroad cases in the Supreme
Court and Court Of Claims, it WAS not
deemed advisable to make the change.

OUR TRADE DOLLARS IN CHINA
The custsRa Of Chinese bankers on re-
receiving foreign com is to put their
mark or 'chop" on it, thus detacing it
Ms coin under our laws. A cable dis
patch frsm Hongkong says that there
are only seven m illions of ''unchopped"
trade dollars there, and the opinion is ex-
pressed that Of twenty light or thirty
milliens of trade dollars exported TO
Ehina in tho last five years, all but one
or two millions have been chopped" !"
Thus the apprehension that the passage
ofa law making trade dollars legal ten
der would recall some thirty millions
from China and increase the volume of
the currency 80 much, is without founda
tion.
