small and large varieties of field corn, with

DR.. De La Matyr, who Is soiourning in
Florida, is expected in Washington On Satur-
day next to attend meeting of Greenbackers
TO be held in this city on the twenty-seeond
instant Those who are expected to attend
are Ladd and Murch Of Maine De La Matyr
Of Indiana, Smith of New Jersey, Ford of
Missouri, Weaver and Gillette of Iowa, Law
of Alabama, Russell of North Carolina, Yo-
cum Of Pennsylvania, and Jones Of Texas.
The meeting is arranged for the twenty
second instant, and was determined upon at a
convention of Greenbackers held In this city
last November The leaders Of this move
ment now claim twenty-one members OF the
Forty-sixth Congress, and the plan, 1t is
said, is to make a caucus nomination for
Speaker without regard to party politics, SO
as to hold the balance Of power In the organi-
cation Of the next Congress. 1t Is also claimed
that number of Republicans will act with
the Greenbackers, but the leaders of the party
are not anxious to secure recruits from this
side Of the House. as they do not count on q
fight TO weaken the Democratic strength.

The militia of the states.

It appears from returns received at the
office of the Adjutant General of the army
that the subject of militia organization re-
ceives very little attention among the States
Of the Union. The Adj tant General places
the number of men available for military
duty Mt 1922, ia, whereas the returns show
that the entire organized militia of the thirty
eight States is only 1889 number Of the
Southern and Western States have no organ
lied militia at all, and in most of the States
the militia seems to be confined to fragmen-
tary organizations in the cities. New York
and Arkansas are the only States which have
an organized militia at all respectable In
point Of numbers. The organized militia OF
New York is q, 420, and OF Arkansas 1887
yet in New York there are 528,l 68 able-bodied
men subject to militia duty.
