THE MILITIA,

A correspondent, whose communication
in defense of the militia appears in to-day's
GLOBE lis mistaken in assuming that the
t5LOBE intended to cast an unjust reflection
upon our state militia when it urged the
Importance of calling upon the federal
government for troops to suppress such
riots as occurred in Chicago. The GLOBE
is fully conscious of the value of good
militia organization and only regrets that
all the states have not followed the example
of Minnesota in perfecting splendid militia
organization. But, unfortunately, with the
possible exception of New York, there
is not another city in the Union so well
provided with competent military organi
Zations as either st. Paul or Minneapolis.
Nor is there another city where riot is
less likely to occur than right here in St.
Paul. Consequently our remarks referring
to the necessity for invoking the aid of fed
eral troops in these emergencies were not
intended to have a local application. The
experiences of the riots of 1877 are suffi-
Gent to teach the country the danger of re-
lying upon the local militia organizations.
A debt of SIC, 900, 900, incurred to pay
damages Of the riot of 1877, now hanging
over the city of Pittsburg, is constant
reminder of this fact When the whole
state militia of Pennsylvania failed to quell
the riot company Of United States regu-
lars appeared upon the scene and restored
peace in almost less time than it takes to
tell about it. This is one of many lllustra-
tions that might be cited in support of the
argument that regular troops are more eff
fective than the local military organiza-
tions. In the light of past experience it
occurs to US that the right thing to do
would be to have the federal government
establish a military barracks in every city
of 100, 900 population and keep at least
one company always on hand for emergen-
cies. If it accomplished nothing more, the
one company of regulars would be an ex-
cellent nucleus for the organization of a
larger local military force when it would
be required.

I,oNGsTREET ATATI,ANrA

Gen. LONGSTREET has been very faith
full Republican ever since the war. He
suffered social ostracism on account of his
political relations, and yet he bore it with
out murmur. He worked for the Repub-
lcan party as energetlcally and with as
much fidelity as if he had been born in it.
In recognition of his services the Republi-
can party has 'honored him with numerous
positions of high distinction. He is to-
day as generally recognized as
a Republican leader as is HoAR or
EDMUNDs. And yet the other day, when
JEFF DAVIS visited Atlanta. Gen. LONG
STREET took down his old Confederate uni
form, which he had not worn since the sur
render at AppomattoX, put it on ana joined
the procession which was paying a tribute
of honor to the head of the late Confeder
acy. The scene of the meeting between
DAVIS and LoNGSTREET is described as
being particularly touching. AS they
stood on the stage clasped in each, others
arms all the animosities of poIit-
ical strife were forgotten, while
the people applauded the pathetic
incident of their reunion. General LONG
STREETS appearance on this occasion has
served to divest it of all political signif-
canoe. AS he himself said 1.-The occasion
was revival of harmless but beautiful
sentiment. The old soldiers wanted to get
together again. 1t meant no disreSpect to
any other section of the country, nor was
there any evidence OF disloyalty in the dis
play. 1t meant nothing more than re-
union of old comrades and the revival of
never fading memories"

THE PRESIDENTS TRorrssEAu


1t was very queer resolution which the
convention of WomanWage Farmers, in ses-
sion at Washington recently passed, con-
cerning the Presidents wedding outfit. In
view of the fact that the alleged bride-elect
is supposed to be deeply immersed
in a sea of finery in Paris. dear
to the feminine heart as the foun-
tainhead of everything that is most ex-
quisite in millinery, these patriotic wage
earners deemed it their duty to protest
against such un-American adoption of for
eign frills and furbelows. Realizing the
futility of any remonstrance with the lady
in the case, they have turned their atten-
ton to the president. Strong in their
righteous patriotism, they demand that Mr..
CLEVELAND, at least, as the head of the ma
ton, should set his fellow citizens good
example. They declare it his duty to have
his trousseau made in this country.
and assert their entire readiness to make
for him. With extraordinary presump-
ton they even considered the advlsability
of making the various garments which will
form the wedding outfit, placing th EN- on
exhibition and then relying upon Impress
ing the president with the necessity of his
purchasing the trousseau intact, incidentally
paying, of course good round sum to the

idle reports. Another of the same batch

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Defense of the Militia.

10 the Editor OF the GLOBE.
In your editorial this morning headed "Call
for federal troops you cast q slur on the
militia in general, and stigmatize them as
''tin soldiers" Nevertheless those ''tin SOL
diers" have done good and effective duty in
many parts of the country, and in New York
have suppressed riots for number of years,
notably the draft riot Of 1868, which was
crushed out by the Seventh regiment IN
twenty-four hours after it's arrival from
Monocacy, Md, although the mob had
had control Of the city for four days despite
the efforts of the little bands of regulars ana
volunteers. The reason why state troops
sometimes fail and resort has to be had to the
regulars, is that the state authorities usually
exhibit SupinenesS, which is in a large
measure due to their fear of losing votes at
the next election, and will not give the neces-
sary orders When the Seventh regiment
reported to Gen. Wool in New York in 1858.
its colonel received the following orders:
"Col MARSHALL Letferts is assigned to the
command of the district bounded x
He will sternly use every means in his power
to restore order" Order was restored in
twenty-four fours. In Milwaukee, owing to
the energetic action of Gov Rusk, the
anarchists and socialists are getting their
deserts, the militia are showing themselves
to be capable and efficient, and no foolish
dread of giving orders to fire on the people,
is to be seen.
In this part of the state we have a well
drilled and disciplined militia, who will res
pond promptly to any call that may be made
on them, and who can say without any hes
itation, will do their duty fearlessly and thor
oughly. The reason, and the only reason, why
the United States troops have been uniformly
successful in coping with mObs, is. that they
are not called for until all other means have
failed, and until the state authorities are
goaded into doing their duty (Which, had they
of hrot 0huio
cessity of calling for the regulars), and when
the troops get on the ground they have orders
from persons who care nothing for politics,
and who do their duty. To be a member of
the national guard requires the sacrifice Of a
great deal OF time, and some outlay of money,
and when, after several years Of hard work,
we have an effective force ready to meet any
outbreak, and abundantly able to suppress it,
it is somewhat discouraging to the members
to have a leading paper include them in q
general category of ''tin soldiers

AsHvILLE, N. c., May 6.-Widespread
interest has been excited here in regard to
the prospective duel between Richmond
Pearson and Gen. Johnston Jones, both
members of the last legislature. and repre-
sentatives of the most distinguished families
in this state, of which mention has already
been made in the GLOBE. Pearson is the
son of the late Chief Justice Pearson,
Of this state, who was the grandson of
Richmond Pearson, of revolutionary fame,
who so harassed and impeded the progress
of CORVALLIS as he came South through
the CarolinaS. Gen. Jones is adjutant
general Of this state and is a grandson of
Gov. James Iredell, who represented this
state in the United States senate, and who
was re- elected by his constituency to reply
to Daniel Webster, but being
SICK AT THE TINE
r. Y. Hayne was selected. The father of
Gov. Iredell was one of the justices of the
United States supreme court on its eStab-
lishment. These two gentlemen differed in
their views upon the stock law bill for Bun
combe county. Pearson, in an open letter
to his constituents, criticised the action of
Gen. Jones, and Gen. Jones replied,
rejecting ON the courage of Mr..
Pearson. Thereupon the latter chal-
lenged the former, who declined to
fight and published a card explanatory of
his refusal. This Mr. Pears II answered in
another published card, charging Gen.
Jones with inconsistency in his refusal.
and denouncing him for treachery, duplic-
ity, and ingratitude. He concludes as fol-
lows:
''Gsn. Jones is man whose ancestors have
been gentlemen and gentle women. His name
has been distinguished in this state and has
heretofore been free from
ANY STAIN OF COwARDICE
or falsehood. He has been my social equal
and my political colleague, and is now the
commanding general Of the brave men who
constitute the state guard of North Carolina.
AS such his utteranceS are entitled to atten-
| tion. He makes deliberate and public
charge of cowardice, and whatever pious
people Or progressive moralists may say, the
day has not yet come in North Carolina
when a man can live under such a
charge unrefuted and be respected. l don't

proposition is of astonishing absurdity. For
the credit of the nation it is to be hoped
that Mr.. CLEVELAND will not permit his
wedding suit to be made by this associa-
ton. The entire country is interested in
his marriage, and it would be grieved sorely
to hear that at the ceremony his trousers
bagged at the knees or that his coat collar
insisted upon climbing the back of his
neck. 1t will be an occasion at
which he cannot afford to run
any risks. Let him get his garments

made move in the right direction. The
resolutions adopted at its meeting last
night and which are published in the
GLOBE, severely denounce the violent pro-
ceedings in Chicago aud elsewhere and EN-
phatically acquit the trades unions of any
completely or sympathy with the dyna-
miters. This is what all the labor unions
should do and the more promptly and SYM
pathetically they do it the more surely will
it relieve the organizations of the odium
which attaches to such proceedings.

THE LAND-ADJUsTMENT BILL

THE LAND-ADJUSTMEN BILL.
The land-adjustment bill passed the
house of representatives by so nearly a
unanimous vote that it is safe to predict
that the senate will be forced by strong
public sentiment to pass it also. The bill
requires the interior department to imme-
diately adjust or determine and settle the
railway land grants, by making out the just
limits of the grants and forcing the corpora
tions to take them, 1t will have the effect
of relieving the artificial land famine which
had been created by the corporations re

were vigorously expelled, as it will compel
them to pay taxes on the lands they are en-
titled to hold. The adjustment bill is the

with the st. Paul stock market idea to the
exclusion Of those schemes for slaughtering
and shipping cattle which he has spent so
much time and money in celebrating. From
his smiling but evasive demeanor it was diff
cult to gather whether the marquis was
