TIE MILITIA
The moderate encouragement riven the militia
organizations Of the State by the act OF 1881 has
had the effect considerably stimulate the zeal aud
martial spirit Of the volunteer companies then ex-
listing, aud TO induce the formation Of additional
companies to the limit Of the full! quota allowed by
that act As appears by the report Of the adiutant
general. there have been organized within the past
year companies in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Albert
Lea, Fairmont, Mankatc, Austin, and Fergus Falls.
The Minnesota National guard now consists Of ten
companies OF infantry, two troops OF cavalry, and
two sections OF artillery, all armed as infantry
ccpt section Of artillery, which Is well
equipped In that arm Of the service. This force
is organized into two battalions OF infantry and
advanced in discipline and efficiency during the past
year. much OF which is due TO the instruction re-
celved during the encampment held last July. The
oppor unity that occasion afforded for practical
experience Of soldiers on duty was fully improved,
and the beneficial results Of the experience acquired
have been most manifest in the improved esprit du
corps of tho entire organization and the stimulus
given to Its growth deem it important that all
proper aid and encouragement DO given the State
militia. Thess annual encampments are very use
full in imparting such instruction will enable the
organization to act together with intelligence, and
secure that degree OF efficiency that will make the
militia reliable for such possible service as 1t may
be called upon to perform The expense is moder-
ate, and 1 therefore recommend m sppro-
pration for the purchase Of tents and
other camp eouipage sufficient for a reg mont

BIrN!IAL ELECTIONS
The advantage accrung to tho State by the adop-
lion OF biennial sessions OF the legislature is so
generally recognized that doubt II the wisdom Of
the change is now questioned in ar. quarter. ltis
no longer regarded as an experiment, but demon
believe experience would induce similar judg-
fnent IN behalf Of biennial elections. The people
are surfeited with the agitation and excitement at
