lines are already in great part, or soon Will
be, frontiers no longer. Territories are be-
coming States whose local militia must at
tend TO local disturbances the Indian
tribes are nearly all on reservations. and. II
treated with common justice there, will
never give occasion for the use of troops
against them. The Atlantic and Pacific and
ulfbor,crs should be protected mainly by
the navy, considering our distance from
the Old World and the nccdlcssncss OF our
quarrclling with foreign nations. The Mex
lean and Canadian boundaries will require
few troops when We cease such plots Of en-
enactment as those Of HAYES.
There remains the consideration Of do
nestle disturbances and il Is precisely in
order to check the fatal modern tendency to
make these disturbances the care Of the
army that Congress should reinvigorate the
militia. Last summers spectacle of half n
dozen great States calling on HAYES to
send them troops to put down local disturb
ances was so utterly pitiablc that Congress
should guard against its repetition quite
too much of the substance of the people,
said WEBSTER, contrasting what govern
mcnt in Europe Is with what government in
America ought to be. " is consumed in MAIN
tanning armies not for defence against for
eign aggression, but for enforcing obcdi-
encc to domestic authority standing armies
are the oppressive Instruments for govern
ing the people in the ranks OF hereditary
and arbitrary monarchs." Such language
is nowadays sometimes styled dcmagog-
ery but it did not seem so TO American
statesmen from WASHINGTON to WEBSTER.
If il be asked whore Congress can de-
rive power for building up the militia sys-
tenn, we answer, in the article of the Const-
tuition authorizing 1t to provide for organ
izing, arming. and disciplining the militia,
and for governing such part of them as may
be employed In the service Of the United
States" while to the States is reserved the
appointment OF officers. and the training Of
the militia according TO the discipline pre-
scribed by Congress" Under this provision
Congress could soon raise national militia
such as every great power but ours pos
scsses. But, without going to that extreme,
it could prescribe the discipline it does not
prescribe, could organize as it does not or
ganize. could arm better than IL has armed
1t might, at least. provide for the quarterly
or scmi-annual inspection Of the militia by
army officers, with careful reports Of needs
and Deficiencies; for the regular instruction
of commissioned and non-commssioncd
the extension Of rifle practice through the
country, somewhat in accordance with the
plan lately proposed to it.

The Army and the Militia.

The duty OF Congress to renovatc our mill
tia system is urgent. The army and the
militia are the two factors which make up
the product Of military protection for So
ciety and Government 10 get the total, the
lessening Of either factor demands the pro-
portionate increase of the other; and there
Is no surer way TO Justify great reduction
OF the army than 10 enlarge the efficiency Of
thc militia.
The little republic Of Switzerland has no
standing army; but in two weeks time it can
put two hundred thousand drilled troops
into the field troops Of that soldicrly race
that have made Swiss guards famous for
fidelity aud prowcss in many court, from
Versailles to the Vatican. DUFOUR's mill
tia crushed the Swiss cantonal secession in
three months; the reason why it could do
so Is shown in the Constitution, whore one
article prcscribes that the COnicderacy
has no right 10 maintain standing armies, -
and another provides that every Swiss Is
subject to military duty" JOHN ADAMS
echoed the spirit Of this Swiss system when
he said. 81 wish every man upon this com

fcicnt to warrant these large loans without

done by abruptly pushing them to the wall,
