Militia and NIObS.

In most riots tho neglect of fow
simple principles by both civil and
military authorities has caused most
of tho bloodshod. The militia should
DO assembled promptly. If this is do
laycd, thoir armorcs may be surround
cd and thoir asscmblago prevented.
Besides, tho knowledge that troops aro
IN readiness Strengthens the police and
intimidates tho mob. They should not
DO paradod until tho last moment. Tho
bayonct and rifle are deadly weapons,
and not suited for mere police work.
But as soon as there is danger of tho
police being overpowercd the militia
should march to their aid, and then all
sentimentality should DO dispensed
with. A mob is gang of law-broak-
ors, with tho criminal class coming to
tho top as it gains power; and tho Vory
existence OF society depends upon it's
pelng promptly put down. Hallway
measures are cruelty. Any militia Of
ilcer who permits his men to be shot or
stoned without resistance deserves q
court-martial. A mob never uppre-
ciates forboarance. Blank cartridges
simply inspire thom to fresh assaults.
Firing in the air has tho Same OBJECT,
besides killing innocent people at y
distance. Volleys arc seldom ncccs-
sary. To detail few sharp-shooters
to pick off tho leading aggrcssors is far
preferable. If tho thrower of tho first
brick is shot, as O. rulo no moro will DO
thrown. Four shots at Cincinnati
which killed four leaders dispersed tho
mob that attacked Powoll's gun-storc.
The same number fred with like effect
would have scattered that which at
tackled the Jail, if they had been the
first which had been fired by the
troops. 1t must be remembered that
no troops will stand being stoned or
being shot at without firing in return.
If tho officers wait too long Gas was tho
case in tho Orange riots in Now York,
somo ono is suro to fire without orders,
bringing on general fire which un-
necessarily destroys many lives. The
troops should not allow themselves TO
be bcsicged. Strong detachmcnts
should traverse the streets, aiding tho
police in dispensing all crowds and in
clearing the streets. The mob, when
once broken, will never again collect.
If tho militia are strong and well dis
ciplmcd, and it is understood distinctly
that thoy will permit no trinin~, their
mere appearance is usually sufficient.
If their condition is such that the mob
DO not fear them, many lives have to
be sacrificed before peace can be re-
stored.-"IOpicS Of Mc Tinl3," tu Ike

CLEVELAND'S PURPOSE.
The GOVERNOR INTERVIEWED.
He Says There is No Cause for Alarm
Among the Negroes Slavery
Will Not be Restored.

ALBANY, Nov 20.-Cleveland was asked by
United Press representative to-day if he
was aware OF the delusion existing among
the colored people of the South that the
change in the administration would unfayOr-
ably effect their condition, TO which he re-
piled
Yes; / have been astonished at the
statement that there was apprehension
existing among the colored people, that In
some way the rights now secured to them
under the laws and constitution of the Uni
ted States were il danger from the election
of Democratic president. am even told
that some of them are led to suppose that
the result of the recent election means that
they may again be made slaves. All
of this appeared to me to be
so absurd and 10 have been so sure that the
slightest int Il gent reflection would dis
lodge such foolish fears, that | can hardly
deem any notice of them necessary, but
there is not the slightest objection to calling
the attention of all who are in the
least uneasy or uncertain upon
this subject, To the fact that
the title of the colored people

the constitution, which it would be absolute
ly impossible To make. Besides the present
condition, or status, of these people has
been so fully accepted by the entire country
that no one should have the slightest
idea that any attempt will be made
to change it If there was any
possibility of accomplishing such thing
So far as the new administration is related
10 this subject, the whole country can be sure
that the lawful power and Jurisdiction of the
Executive will be so exercised that the rights
of all citizens, white or black, under the con-
stitution and law will be preserved
and protected. All the advantages
to which they are entitled by
reason of citizenship will be secured to
them. There need be no fear that either
the Democratic party or its newly elected
administration proposes to oppress or en-
slave any part of ourpopulation nor to de-
stroy the business interests of our country.
We hope on the other hand, to dc something
to the benefit of the people. II seems to me
our efforts in that direction will be aided if
mischievous croakings and dark inaginings
should give place to earnest endeavor to in
spire confidence and to make universal a
cheerful hope for the future"

very admirable selection. and admirably

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
What Leading Merchants of New
York Say.

Wndt IeauinG MerCnanIS OF new
York Say.
New YORK, Nov. 20.-+There was a rumor
yesterday that Claflin s. Co. had reduced sal
aries because OF the depressed dry goods
trade Manager Robinson said, 'It is not
true.'
''Is the condition of the trade so bad?"
''We have had q fair trade. Men who un-
derstand the business and who have the ne
cessary capital can make money in dry goods
during such seasons"
Mr.. Bates, when asked if the dry goods
trade had gone to the dogs, replied that it
had not. Certain conditions he OBJ
served, ''tended to depress the trade. Lack
of rain in the South, and low prices of wheat
in the West, discouraged farmers, and they
did not buy as many goods. Then the infu
ence of the Presidential campaign was bad.
We have hopes that spring will bring revi-
val"s
1T is reported that your house and that of
Clafiin and others are going to reduce sal
aries?"
"That is true. All the jobbers will do so.
The jobbing trade is very different from
what it was thirty years ago. There was no
end of jobbers then. Now there are only n
few. but one house will do as much now as
thirty or forty did then. The result has
been to increase the expenses out of all pro-
portion, SO that no new houses are formed
now. / am not frightened over the election

SAN FRANcIsCo, Nov. 20.-De Young's con-

blood poisoning. The bullet has been ex-
tracted from his arm, but the one in the
shoulder still remains. The main
artery of the neck is grazed, and
liable to purify and burst, which
in such a contingency would prove fatal.
No one but the family and physician is al

having defrauded the stockholders of one
million dollars, has been brooding over the
trouble for some days, threatened To- attack
De Young on Tuesday, but was restrained
by friends.
The case of Seckles in the Police Court
was continued until December L, pending
the result of the wounds. Public sympathy
Is generally in favor of Spreckles. His wound

An Old Woman of Seventy Runs Away

An Olu woman OF seventy HUNS Away
With DashIng Young PeddIer.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Mrs Elizabeth Pow
ell, woman of seventy years of age, has
lived in the village of Farmingdale, Long
Island, for the last forty years. Her first
husband, Conklin Baylis, died about fifty
years ago, and her second husband had sep
arated from her. About three years ago
handsome young peddler named John Bau-
man engaged lodgings with Mrs. Powell.
The neighbors noticed that the peddler paid
more attention to the old lady than to his
business during the six weeks that he staid
there continuously. Some of Mrs. Powell's
friends talked with her about her boarder
and informed her of the ugly rumors that
were flying around the village.
"You can tell the villagers" Mrs. Powell
replied, that love Johnny and will marry
him If he will have me. The winter is com
ing on and I'm getting old, and must have
somebody to escort me to the theater and
such places"
Her friends were astounded and consulted
a physician to ascertain her mental condi-
ton. The old lady heard of the action of
her friends, and fearing that they might
succeed in separating her from her admirer.
she started for this city In company with
Bauman, where they were married by an
Episcopal clergyman. They spent their
honeymoon in New York, and Mrs Bauman
returned to the village to close up her affairs
preparatory to taking up her residence here.
She said she had started Bauman in business
in this city, and she informed her friends in
the village that she was happy at last. Her
grandchildren threaten to have her arrested
for bigamy, as she was not divorced from
Mr.. Powell. She is the sole executrix of her
first husbands estate, amounting to about
