Tho Means of National Defense.

The instinct of selfpreservation should
prompt every nation to possess and retain
the means of self-defense. So long as
human government rests on brute force
and war is the arbiter of nations it will
be necessary for every power that would
command the respect Of other powers to
be able to create armies and nayies. Sit
uated as we are with respect to other
commissioning the leading power of
the Western World and not peculiarly
liable to attack from Europe--it is not
necessary for us to keep great
standing army or an immense
naval establishment to consume the
products of our industries. The
one great and permanent advantage that
we possess over any other people is this
exemption from the necessity of devoting
the greater part of our income to getting
ready and keeping ready for war BY
devoting TO the arts of peace, to the de-
velopment ofour immeasurable resources,
to intellectual and material progress the
millions that other nations have wasted
on armies we have astonished the world
"'Nh tiiS vi Oul
ment. For centuries to come we may
continue this splendid record-the grand
est ever made by any people.
But we must not ignore the fact that we
are at any time and on short notice liable
to be involved in war with one or more
ofthe great military and naval powers of
Europe, and the experience Of mankind
has demonstrated the fact that such n
liability is increased in proportion to our
lack of preparation to meet the issue. As
quarrelsome man hesitates when
tempted to precipitate difficulty with
one who is likely to give him rough
handling, so an irate government pauses
to consider nations means of offensive
and defensive warfare before entering
into hostilities.
We can in the future, as we have done
in the past, extemporize armies that in u
few weeks will be able to give good ac-
count of themselves. No other nation
surpasses us in our capacity to create
armies. We ought, however, to add n
few thousand men to our regular army,
and we should have national militia
law, under the operations of which our
citizen soldiery would be far better or
ganized, disciplined, and drilled. With
out an American merchant marine we
cannot have an American navy. As the
military is the nursery of an army, so the
merchant marine is the parent and
source of navy. Let our National Rep
resentatives encourage home ship-build.
Ing by wise and liberal legislation, and
our merchant marine will spring into cx-
istence with rapidity only equaled by
the wonderful development of our ma
terial resources. Liberal legislation would
result in building up ocean commerce in
American ships commensurate with our
national greatness in other respects.
When this is accomplished we are in n
condition under all circumstances to
command peace toward ourselves and
contiguous neighbors, for we will in all
the elements of strength be the most
powerful Nation OH the globe.

The National Military Asylum for Dis
abled Volunteer Soldiers is the lawful
name Of the Soldiers Home, whose board
of managers has just held a meeting in
this city, This institution has no con-
nection with or relation to the Soldiers
Home in this District, which belongs to
and is supported by the enlisted men of
the regular army. The n, NJ. A. for
d. V. S., or Volunteer Soldiers Home,
consists of central home at Dayton,
Ohio, and three branches, located respect
lively at Milwaukee, Wis, Augusta, Me,
and Hampton, Va. We are glad to note
the fact that the five or six thousand
disabled veterans in these pleasant
homes are in hearty sympathy with

The next house of represen tatives prom
ises to be an interesting body. Of the 16O
Republican members only sixty-two have
been reelected, while out of 1873 Demo
Gratis eighty -one have been reelected. This
ought to be, and doubtless will turn out a
decided advantage to the Democrats. The
South sends back sixty -foru of its old rep
resentatives, while the Republicans found
only nineteen that it cared to trust again.
For instance, Vermont sends an entirely
new delegation, and Kansas and New Jer.
sey have allowed but one member from
each state to go back. The new members,
of course, will be minus quantity, and
the Democrats ought to reap rich har
vest from their wisdom and good fortune

Mr.. CoNKL1NG, according to the Boston
Herald, condemns the nomination of Fol:
ger, as masterpiece of political unwis-
dom. and says that Folger's defeat was in
part due to his position in Arthur's admin
istration. Mr.. Conkling says that if the
President desired or promoted the nomi-
nation of Folger, the result was a proper
rebuke of an improper transaction. Conk-
ling says if he had been asked about the
propriety of nominating Folger, he would
have opposed it on the ground that he was
connected with the National administra-
ton. There seems to be no one to Pity
poor Arthur now.

THE FIFTH DINTRICT FIGHT.

The campaign in the Fifth Minnesota
district has been of remarkable vigor and
virulence. With the exception of one
term when Democrat occupied the seat,
and the one term of DR.. Stewart, the
counties comprising the Fifth district have
for fourteen years been represented in
congress by what is popularity known as
the. pine ring. In the new ap-
portionment, the pine portion
of Minnesota appear to have been set
apart in district by itself. The men who
have so long controlled the lumber market
of the state, and made immense fortune in
SO doing, were active to continue their
lease of power. They have 'saxes to grind"
but above all they want to be let alone.
The candidate selected by this ring
was Knute Nelson, for the double reason
that the ring desired to secure
the Norwegian vote, and secondly
because Mr.. Nelson would be entirely sub
servient to Mr.. Washburn, the head center
of the pine grabbers.
It was under such circumstances that an
other Richmond entered the field in the
person of G. F. Kindred. The ring saw
that in Mr.. Kindred's candidacy they
would have man to deal with who would
not play second fiddle to
Washburn. but would have an opinion and
Judgment of his own. 1t was accordingly
resolved that Mr.. Kindred must be de-
feated regardless of cost or hazard. The
millions of dollars involved in the control
of the pine in Northern Minnesota gave an
incentive to the ring to contribute iber
ally to secure second vote for Washburn.
As the campaign proceeded it grew
exceedingly bitter. Mr.. Kindred proved
a more active and vigorous foe than was
anticipated, and when it was found that
Mr.. K. would secure the nomination at De-
troit, it was deliberately resolved to bolt
