REGULARS VERSUS MILITIA

A correspondent, writing from Crystal
Springs. Oak, who believes that militia
nan Is as effective and reliable i'll a riot as
q regular, asks the GLOBE whether the
fitilures in several instances of the local
militia to suppress mobs have been due to
the fact that they were supplied with
la.ank cartridges and otficered by lot OF
inexperienced men, or whether it is owing
lo aiaek Of courage, intellect and discipline
In the rank and file of the militia. Most
unqaestionably it is not from the
the matter Of discipline. AS q
rule the militia organizations are composed
Of as brave and as intellectual men as ever
followed NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE or
ULYSSES S. GRANT. The difference in
the effectiveness of the two organizations
the local militia and the regular army-in
dealing with mob, is about the same diff
ference there would be in the work of a
skilled artisan and one who had only a
snlattering knowledge of trade. The reg
ulars are soldiers by profession, and war is
their trade. With the militia soldering is
q pastime and war an incident. That
: is one distinct difference. Another
is that in nearly every case where
q riot occurs there is more or less a
a lpersonal relation existing between the
rioters and the militia men, which makes
it an extremely difficult matter to persuade
TIE latter that it is their duty to shoot down
men with whom they are acquainted and
81 whom they may Fave the kindest per-
50nal feelings, and the rioters know it.
TIE regular soldier is machine who knows
nothing but to obey orders. But the most
Important difference is this, that the uni
form of the regular soldier is the symbol of
power thich even mobs dare not disre-
gard an his person is embodied the power
Of the greatest nation of earth, and the
rioters know that too.
The GLOBE recognizes the courage of the
Wisconsin militia during the late troubles
at Milwaukee, and cheerfully bears testi-
mony to their efficiency and fidelity to
duty. AT the same we feel warranted
in saying that if a company of United States
troops had been stationed at Milwaukee
there would have been no necessity for
Understanding. Their presence would
have awed the mob into submission to the
laws. They could not have done more
tBan the Wisconsin militia in quelling the
mob and restoring peace, but they would
have done it without firing gun or sacri-
tieing human life. That is what the
GLoBE means when it says that regulars
are more effective in such emergencies than
the local military organizations.

Happily, too, Omaha has too much regard for

MIR. and Mrs. Nicholas Ward. the

Ward is handsome woman of 20, and it

employer were unduly affectionate, but
nothing was thought to be wrong owing to
her social standing in the community, and
his being deacon and an earnest worker

that Price and Mrs. Ward had eloped. the
former taking with him a large amount of
cash and the latter abandoning her two
children. The deserted husband is looking

AN OVERLOOKED TERRITORY,

No more forcible illustration of the ex-
tent of this country and the looseness with
which public lands were wont formerly to
be surveyed can be presented than the in
stance of ''No Mans Land" This is a
very fertile tract of land lying between
Kansas and the Indian Territory. 1t is of
large extent, but was in some peculiar man.
ner left out of the reckoning when the
boundaries of Kansas and the Indian Terri
tory were made. Though within the juris-
diction of the United States it is totally
without law or government despite the
fact that it contains many people of the
most desperate character and is of sufficient
area to form a very respectable state. As
the region is well watered and otherwise
attractive immigration has been turned to-
wards it, Before July it is thought 5, 900
people will have settled in the
strip and the foundation of a new
territory will be laid in the establishment of
new towns, twenty of which have already
been located. At present the only law is
a personal sense of justice reinforced with
Winchester revolver. In no other civil
lied country does a similar state of things
present itself, just as in no other country
are the conditions which obtain in America
present. But such an excellent oppor-
tunity the professional politicians will not
let slip. 1t will be but very few days after
the arrival of sufficiently numerous vot-
ing population until form of government
is secured and the usual number of offices
is provided for the chronically hungry and
thirsty members of the earpet-bag tribe.

THE TRAVELLERS, CLUB.

DISTANCES are very deceiving out our
way" remarked a Colorado traveller
strangers have no idea how great distance
they can discern objects in our pure, vari1ed
atmosphere. They can see twenty and thirty
miles and can distinguish the outlines of OBJ
Jects at that distance so they will not believe
at first sight that the objects, so viewed are
so far away. They think, when told that they
are looking at objects many miles away, that
it is one of the stock stories told to astonish
sight-seers, so they take little credence

had met just such people before, and knew
that the best way to deal with them was to let
them alone.
''They got up early the next morning. The
sun was shining brightly on the mountains,
bringing into prominence its snow-capped
peaks, immense crevices and rocks. They
were more than ever impressed with the fact
that the mountains were only short distance
away. They concluded to walk over before
breakfast, as constitutional. They walked
and walked, and the mountains still appeared
but short distance away and this lead them
on. After walking two hours, and being no
nearer apparently than when they first
started, they came back. Breakfast was over.
so they got lunch at neighboring restaur-
ant. They did not say much, but their ex-
perience made deep impression on them.
