When Governor Begole vetoed the bill TO

commissioner department. the Detroit free
Press had not a word 70 say III disapproyal,
bu. now that in all probability Mr.. Fuller
will step down and ont the organ OF Michi-
gan democracy sees every reason why the
place should be abolished. As the author of
the bill in question We entirely agree with
the Free Press that the office should be
abolished, and we have no hesitation in say
ing that the most laborious duty the gentle
man Gov. Begoles veto retained in Office has
had to perform, III connection with the Of
flee, the past two years, has been to Graw
his salary. That necessitated trip 10 Ian
sing each quarter, and that Is about all the
time he has put IN IN the performance of
duty. As matter OF fact there is little duty
TO perform. The work of the department
was fully investigated at the time the matter
was before the legislature, and some of the
democratic members saw the folly of contin-
uing the Office and voted with the republi-
cans to abolish it. Those most competent

the unfinished work of the department as

look after the measure that il could he done

soners Office in two hours each week. The
state swamp lands are all appropriated, and
there can be nothing now to require a special
officer, so that it would seem to be the duty
of the coming Legislature to take up the bill
again and secure its passage. Such action
would indicate that the desire to save the
people about $500 year was tho purpose
which 'induced the passage of the bill two
years ago. The Office is only sinecure,
whether filed by democrat, greeribacker or
republican, and the sooner it is done away
with the better. The suggestions of the
Free Press, however, would seem rather i'll
timed in view of It's silence during the pen
dency of the bill and the two years that have
elapsed since its passage. Its present posi-
ton only confirms the well known fact that
democrats are great reformers, except when
they have the power to do something.-

U. 4. Farmer, in the Gentleman'sss ssMagszine.l
 The abolition of slavery, which in Western modern civilization, did not unfortunately tend to greater mildness in the customs of war. For in ancient times thesale of prisoners ss slaves operated to restrain that indiscrimi- nate and objectless slaughter which has been, even to cases within this century, the marked feature of the battle field, and more especially where cities or places have been taken by storm. Avarice ceased to operate, as it oncs did, in favor of humanity. In one day the population of Magdeburg, taken by storm, was reduced from %, ,O00 to 2,700, and an English eyewitness that event of thus described it: ''Of 25, ,0OO, some said 30, 900. psople there was not 8 soul to be seen alive, till the flames drove those that were hid in vaults and secret places to seek death in the street rather than perish in the fire; of the miserable creatures some were-k1lIed too by the furious soldiers, but at last they saved the lives of such came out of the cellars and holes, and so about Z, ,O00 poor desperate crea- lures were left" "There wer little shooting; the execution was all cutting of throats aud mere house murders *** We could see the poor people in crowds driven down the street fl fyiugsfrom the fury of the soldiers who followed butchering them as fast as they could, and refused mercy to any body; till, driving thom down to the rivers edge, the desperate wretches would throw themselves into the river, where thousand of them peris he'd especially yemen and children" It is difficult to read this graphic description of stormed city without the suspicion arising in the mind that sheer thirst for blood and love of;;murder is much more'potent sustain CT of war that it is usual or agreeable to be- ieye. The narratives of most victories and of taking cities support this theory. At Bres- cia for instance, taken by the French from the Venetians 1n 1512. it is said that 20, GOO of the. latter fell to only 50 of the former. When Rome was sacked in 1527 by the Imperialist force we are told that the soldiery threw themselves upon the unhappy mulituce, and, without distinction of age sex, massacrsd all who came in their way. Strangerf were spared as little as Romans, for the murderers fired indiscriminately at every one, from mere thirst of blood.
