The provincial government of
Manatoba is in disorganized condi-
ton. The legislature met at VIM
nepeg Oh the 10th inst. and adjourned
until the 26th inst. when tits thought
that a dissolution will occur. The
cause of this friction is opposition of
the conservative element against the
constitution of the new Provincial
ministry. The way our Northern
neighbors get out of political mud
die, is to dissolve-resign and refer
the differences to the people through
a new election. This will be the re-
suit IN Manitoba.

AN ARMED MILITIA.

The growth of the military spirit in
West Virginia has been rapid during the
last few months. Companies have been
formed in nearly every section OF the State,
and many more are in the process Of or
ganization. The movement is a good one
and deserves to be encouraged.
It IS almost criminal folly for a State
like West Virginia to neglect the means Of
self protection. The history of u sister
States furnishes many notable instances in
which the troops have been called to
enforce the law at the point Of the hayO-
net. From such disturbances West YT-
ginia has been ~siugularly free in the PAST
But we cannot always hope to escape thus.
There will come times when extraordinary
means must he employed to preserve law
aud order. For these it is we'll to be pre-
pared. The late disturbances on the Ken
lucky border are a warning.
The companies which were called on
then responded uo6ly. West Virginia
would have had no reason to blush for her
sOns, if they had been ordered to the stern
est service. That she had need for q body
Of trained men in this emergency smpha-
sizes the necessity for o development Of
the military strength Ofthe State. Liberal
appropriations have been made by the
United States government for the support
OF q national militia. If necessary, the
Legislature at its next meeting should
supplement the appropriation in q geneT-
Gus amount. The money would be we'll
spent in squipping a trained body Of
armed men, who would be 1t the service
Of the State government in the hour of

the numerous interests effected is refuted
By the committees W action.
The Democratic members are actuated
BY no factious spirit to make wa upon any
industry. They have a pledge to the peO-
pie to fulfill. The necessity of tariff re-
vision is becoming more pressing daily. A
surplus is piled up in the national treasury
which is the most reckless and e~xtravagsnt
Congress would not dare to squauder. 1t
must be returned to the masses from
whose hands it was wruug by
unnecessary and unjust taxation.
The Democratic party is pledged to this
task-to revise the tariff in a spirit of fair
ness to all interests. The action Of the
majority of the Ways and Means Commit
tee shows that they are earnestly striving
to make good that promise.
The bill that they will introduce into
the House may not and can not be perfect.
So many conflicting interests are to be
-harmonized that all can not he satisfied.
The majority OF the committee have shown
themselves ready to accept and carefully
consider any suggestions that are honestly
offered. In the House the bill will be
subject to amendment, and where it can
be shown that amendments will be hene-
dcisl they will doubtless be accepted. The
Democrats of the Ways and Means Com
mittee are acting in the spirit of cOncilia,
ton. In that spirit let them be met, and
it win not be impossible to frame a meas
ure ID which all Democrats who hon
sstly desire to fulfill their party pledges
can stand.
