REPORTS on THE MILITIA,

The recommendations made by Adjt
Gen. DRUM regarding the militia and based
upon the reports Of the different inspectors.
deserve careful consideration. 1t is shown
that the militia as a whole has made won
derful progress and improvement. but that
much yet remains to be done to bring it to
the high state of efficiency which is possible
and desirable. Encampments should be of
greater length. for by them only does the
amateur soldier learn the practical part of
the work, with whose theory he may al
ready be well acquainted. and, in addition,
the encampment should be dvested of any
thing like holiday character. 1t should
be made as much like the regular camp of
troops actually in the field as possible, and
the discipline should be as strict as though
it concerned regular troops instead of mill
tia. In a country like ours, opposed as it
is to large standing army. the main reliance
in time of war and the sole reliance in time
of riot must be placed upon the state
troops, the regulars serving simply as leaven.
1t is therefore obvious that nothing should
be left undone to place the militia in con
dition which would enable it to satlSfactO-
rily respond when called upon. 1t is an
encouraging fact that the Improvement
shown by the reports made this year will,
if maintained, place the citizen soldiery of
the United States upon plane excelled by
no other country. And it is equally mat
ter of congratulation that the Minnesota
militia stands high up on the list in the
order of merit.

ASPHALT ARGUMENT.

For reasons best known to itself, the
Pioneer Press has become wonderfully en-
amored with asphalt pavements. In fact,
our contemporary seems to be reyelmg in
the delirium of an asphalt craze. 1t talks
asphalt by day and dreams of it by night
Asphaltum is a good thing in its way. 1t
makes nice, clean, smooth street, though
a trife expensive. but when our asphalt
stricken neighbor was led so far in the
mazes of alteration for its favorite pave
ment material as to undertake to demon
strate that horse could not fall down on
an asphalt paved street if he tried. 1t tstruek
a snag. 1t had to back out and grease.
The Pioneer Press comedies that if horse
has his shoes well iced and snow balls
clOgged on his feet he can slip down on
asphalt If he wants to. That is good deal
of concession for the asphalt champion to
make, but it does it very gracefully. Our
neighbor consoles itself. however, with the
reflection that if horse is liable to fall on
asphalt. he is sure to do it on block pave
ment, where the street ascends at an angle
of forty-fve degrees and is well coated with
ice

The CoIeridge scan daI.

LONDON, Nov. 18.-In the libel suit of
Charles w. Adams against his father-in-
law, Lord Chief Justice COeridge, Stephen
Coeridge son OF the defendant, testified
TO- day in Justification OF the statements he
made against the plaintiff to the reporter Of
a Cleveland o., paper, which were. wit
ness said. correctly published. He said.
however that the alleged interviews with
him published by New York and Phil
adelpha paper were false. He explained
that he had permitted himself to be inter-
viewed while in the United States in order
to defend his fathers name, and said he
believed he had been quite successful and
had written to his fathers solicitor: Il
found fathers face as black as ink in Amer
lea, but | have left it white" A statement
by Mrs. Mildred Adams. nee Coleridge,
was read. In it the lady denied her fathers
allegation that the plaintiff had comprom-
ised her by meeting her in a dalkened
room in order to compel her to marry him.
She says Mr.. Adams never met her in a
darkened room. Mr. Adams then produced
a number of documents to sustain his
charge that Lord Chief Justice Coleridge
persistently aimed to shift the burden of
his daughters maintenance to the shoulders
of others, in order to use the money belong
ing rightfully to her to support his peerage.
At this point the hearing was adjourned.

.nruIrR An CnNKLING.

If either one of those legendary relics of
the English common law, JOHN Roe or
RICHARD Doe, had been nominated for
vice president by the Republican convention
in 1880. 1t would not have given the country
a more genuine surprise than did the
nomination of CHESTER a. ARTHUR. Who
Is this man ARTHUR? was the question that
went all over the land, and the response
came back that he was a machine politician
who had deen depOSed from the New York
custom house by the then Republican
administration in an unaccountable spasm
of civil service reform. That was all that
was known of him, except that he was
CoNKLING'S main worker. 1t was under
stood at the time that ARTHUR's nomination
was intended by the GARFIELD forces to
be tub thrown to the CoNKLING whale.
CONKLING's power was feared and his
anger was to be placated by the nomination
of his friend. Roscoe CoNKLING was
then at the zenith of his imperiouS rule as
a Republican boss. With ARTHUR in the
vice presidents chair, with what success he
could play the role of senatorial dictator.
none knew better than himself And he
made the most Of his power. Those who
were present in the senate chamber the dav
that Arthur first took his seat as presid-
ing officer of the senate were struck with
the complete domination that CoNKLING
had over the man. ARTHUR was evidently
i'll at ease in his new position. and as he sat
on the edge Of his chair leaning forward
with his eye directed toward the senior
senator from New York, it was apparent

KNOw.NOTHINGIsM.

GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND, who
travels over more political ground than al
other living newspaper correspondent, ana
generally gathers less valuable fruit, has
struck Michigan congressman who tells
Cath" in that confidential way that the
interviewee usually exhibits toward the in
terviewer. that this country is now ripe fO-
a Know-N Othing movement. He says that
when that issue was up in 1854, and was
brought to a sudden halt by HENRY A.
WIsE's campaign in Virginia, the country
was not then prepared for it. But he
thinks it is now. And the Michigan states
man goes so far as to say that the foreign
born element is now ready to support a
native American movement. as they too
''are growing sick and tired of the rolling
of successive streams of GOths and Van
dals over this land. changing it in ways
we have never reflected upon. and changing
it always for the worse" This Michigan
congressman, whose opinions on Know
NothingSm are given so much prominence
by Cath" expresses the belief that if the
question was revived at this time it would
sweep the country. Can it be possible that
''Gath" is trying to create new issue for
Mr.. BLAINE's benefit? When it is remem-
bered that his principal business at one
time was to boom BLAINE for the presi-
dency, it gives rise 10 suspicion that
Gath may be blazing the way to run
the Plumed knight on 4 Know-Nothing

NoRTuERN MANS CHANCE.

Some appreciatiye and enterprising young
man of the North has now an excellent Op-
portnnity of doing more than orators and
statesmen have been able to do through their
most persuasive eloquence and profound
deliberations. Legislators have tried to
bring about cordiality of feeling between
the two sections, but have failed. Theorists
have pointed out ways to bring them nearer
together, but their theories have fallen
lamentably short in practice. The breach.
not noticeable at times but still always exist
ing, has never been healed. But now way
is clearly open. The South idolizes Miss
WINNIE DAVIS, the Daughter of the
Confederacy." To her is yielded all the def
erence for which the chivalrous Southern
nature is noted in regard to woman kind.
She compeIs the admiration of every
Southern man and is graciously con-
ceded her eminence by the Southern women
without pang of jealousy. Miss DAVIS will
spend the ensuing winter in the North. Let
some worthy Northern young man then be no
less gallant than his Southern brethren. Let
him WOO and win Miss WINNIE, and thus
create bond of sympathy which will bind
the two sections into one harmonious
whole The youths of the South will sooth
their disappointment in appreciation of the
NOrtherner's excellent taste. and the young
women will not regard with dissatisfaction
the removal of a rival whose fascinations
no Southern young man has ever been sub
jected to unmOved.

Chicago News.
Up in Crawford county, Pennsylvania, they
tell story about Hon. A. r. McGill, who has
just been elected governor of Minnesota. In
the little pulic school at Saegertown, which
be, as a little boy, attended, it was the haolt
OF the teacher to punish bad boys by making
them sit between girls over on the other side
of the room. One day the teacher thought
she saw little ANDY McGill cut eaper, so
she said:
Andrew, you may go over and sit between
Flora Gibbs and Fannie Bascal.
OF course he obeyed, and there he sat until
school was out for noon. Then he went to The
teacher and said:
I'm much obliged. teacher for letting me
sit there, and please mayn't L sit there this
afternoon, too?'
1t is explained by some of the old citizens
of Saegertown that ANDY was new pupil
who didn't know the ways of the school, and
who, not having Willingly done anything to
be punished for, supposed he was pelng re-
warded. But. however that may De- one OF

FX-PRESIDENT ARTHUR DEAD.
Beyond the distinction of having been

But for the episode Of presidential term.

duties of his office in eQuipping, supplying

a creditable way. He was not expected to
exhibit any evidences of finished states
maDship. and there was no disappointment,
YET. in view of the fact that all of his pre-
yious training had been in the school OF
machine politics. the country was agreea'
hIv surprised to find him capable of giving
q good administration. The most disap-
nointpd people. and the ones most cha
grined by his administration. were his own
nartisan associates. They expected that
when he ascended to the presidency his ad-
ministration would be carnival for the
spoilsmen. Having been a political boss
all his life. they were not prepared to see
him renounce bossism and concentrate his
energies in an awkward attempt to enforce
civil service reform. Although he didn't
achieve great success as a civil service re-
former. it is to his credit that he made an
effort in that direction.
He is dead now and his good intentions
will be remembered. Having rendered nj;

countrymen will still gratefully revere his
memory for having refused to make use OF
his great opportunities by turning over the

and the penalty for its infractiOn is large.
If such a prohibition has been agreed upon
in good faith it is matter of much regret
There are many excellent operate singers
in the world, but there is only one PATTI.
America has always regarded her with the
pride which comes of her birth on American
soil, and has taken peculiar interest in
her career. A bond of the warmest SYM
nathy has accordingly existed for years be-
tween the charming diva and the music
lovers OF the United States, and her an

Land Laws fOrsreIamd.

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-A committee of the
cabinet, composed of Lord Randolph
Churchill, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Lord
Ashbourne and the Rt. Hon. William Henry
Smith, is preparing land bill for ireland.
The first draft is based upon an extension
of the Ashbourne act. 1t limits tenants
purchase of lands to holdings under sixty
acres If the commission sanction the
transfer the imperial treasury will advance
the amount, the commission paying four
tifths to the landlord and retaining the
other fifth until the tenants annual Install
ments amount to one-tfth OF the stipulated
sum. The tenants repayments shall eX-
tend over thirty-nine years, with interest at
per cent. per annum, as IN the AShbOurne
act. The total necessary to be guaranteed
by the treasury is estimated at 925. 000 900.
The sales under the Ashbourne act having
already exhausted the parliamentary grant
of G5. coo, 600, it is reported that the gov
ernment, trusting to parliaments retro
spective sanction, has ordered the treasury
10 continue to make advances. If the re-
port be true this action exposes the govern
ment to a critical attack for breach of the
constitution.

GET READY TIE SLIDES.

There is really no reason why the COM
ing of the long Minnesota winter should be
regarded with such dismay, except by
those unfortunates to whom life is at best
a struggle for existence. On the contrary
there are many reasons why the winter in
the Northwest is the most enjoyable season
of the year, There is an invigOrating and
champagne like exhilaratiOn in the atmoS
phere that fills one with the delight of liv
ing. and which the inhabitants of less IA
vored climes are denied. But this healthy
glow cannot be enjoyed by people shut up
in superheated houses. 1t is necessary that
they should indulge in generous amount
of out-of-door exercise. in order that the
blood may flow with quickened vigor and
the pulse beat with awakened life. And no
form of open air exercise is more
healthful and thoroughly enjoyable than
tobOgganing, which last winter was so
popular in St. Paul. Combining safety.
novelty and the continual breathing of
fresh air. it is no wonder that the keenneSs
with which the sport was last winter en-
joyed was dulled only by the speediness
with which it came to conclusion. This
drawback can, in a measure, be obviated
this season by the early building of the
slides. There is no reason why their cree
ton should be put off until the opening OF
the ice carnival. The snow is here and the
people. young and old, are eager to partici-
pate in the sport. Let the slides be made
ready at once and the toboggans be prepared
