Dogs In the German Army.
[Pall Mall Gazette.]


1t Is stated that the result thus far of using
dogs as messengers and sentinels in the Ger
man army has proved most successful. They
have now been in training for year, and
have made wonderful progress. During the
recent campaign the dog maneuvres of one
battalion are said to have been the most in
terestiDg of all. The kind found to be most
suitable for this work are the shepherds
dogs. The plan adopted is to train each dog
to regard one of the soldiers as his master.
the conduct of his training being in this
mans hands. When on duty The animals
are kept with the sentinels, and their natural
Intelligence aids them in speedily under
standing and adapting themselves
to the work. AS an instance of what
these dogs can do, on one occasion a soldier,
taking dog from sentinel, went off to
reconnoitIe. After making his observation
he wrote two reports, giving one TO a Uhlan
mounted on fast horse, and placed the
other in casket tied to the dogs neck. The
latter reached the sentinel first. When 1t is
considered how much smaller an object a
dog IS than soldier for an ememy's fire.
and how it can run close to the ground, 1t is
not unlikely that dogs may be important
auxiliaries. II

Oklahoma Ierrltnrx

The Springer bill, which has Just passed
the House. proposes to divide Indian Terri
tory into two territories, the new one to be
known as the Territory Of Oklahoma. The
new territory will embrace the western half
and will contain as many square miles as the
State Of Ohio. The soil is fertile, and the
climate closely resembles that of the State of
Arkansas. A portion Of the proposed terri.
tory is at present occupied by Indian tribes
under departmental orders or by special
agreements. But the bill carefully guards the
rights of the Indians. The Indians possess
sions amount to II, 1884 acres, or about one
half Of the new territory, the entire acreage
being 23,257,719 acres. The opening up Of
the new territory is expected to help i'm
mensely the neighboring States. and several
railroads, notably the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, hope to reap rich harvest. 1t is
provided that no person shall take more
than l6O acres of land, and the settler must

material TO take our places, and The means to
transport that material here. The entire police
force has been used to the adysnt,te Of the com,
against US by some Ut the monopotSIic press"
All the causes, which are here given, of
the strikers defeat mightlhave been foreseen
by any person Of ordinary discernment The
leaders must have known that they would
have to contend against pow erful corpor-
ations with plenty of money; they must have
known that those corporations could draw
on the whole county for men to take the
places vacated by the strikers; they must
have known that the police force would be
called upon to protect the companies prop
erty from destruction and the new men from
assault; and they must have known that
public opinion would be against them il
they res0rted to such means as were en-
ployed, no matter what the attitude of the
"monopolistic power" might be. Knowing
these things, why did they order strike?
Why in the middle of the winter did they
expose thousands OF laboring men to loss of
wages and loss of employment, when the
chances of winning were SO small, as they
now practically admit they believed them to
be. The most charitable view of their per-
formance is that they are utterly lacking in
Judgment and discretion. But whatever is
secret Of their action they have demonstra-
ted that they are utterly unsafe leaders.
They ought to be sent to the rear.

The majority of the committee on legal
affairs report against the Australian ballot
bill. This is to be regretted. The measure
is one that has had fair trial under circum-
stances to severely test it, and has been
found to work satisfactorily and to diminish
many of the most prominent evils of our
present electoral system, and it was hoped
that il would go to the Legislature with The
recommendation Of the majority of the CON-
mittee. This hope seemed to be justified by
the fact that at the hearing nobody appeared
to present any argument against the bill
There will be strong minority report in ia
vor Of the bill, however, which will serve to
bring the whole subject under discussion in
the House. In the light of the committees
action 1t is probably too much to expect that
the bill will pass this year. But the convic-
ton that our election system needs reform
ing has taken such firm hold of the people
that some modification Of it within a few
years is inevitable. On what grounds the
majority reject the bill. at the time of writ
ing, we have not been informed. 1t is to be
hoped they have discovered some better rea-
sons than those that have appeared in the
public prints.

A suggestion by the Boston Advertiser of
the need of formal State supervision of farm
mortgage companies Of other States doing
business in Massachusetts, meets with a
favorable response from prominent bankers
and managers OF Investment companies of
Boston. The matter is one that deserves
consideration in Maine as well as in Massa-
chusetts. There is no good reason why the
supervision which Maine exercises over for
eign insurance companies should not be ex-
tended to farm mortgage companies Of other
States. Millions Of dollars have gone out of
this State within few years past to be in
vested in the lands Of States OF the far West, a
great per cent. Of them On the representations
OF land companies concerning whose fnan-
cial standing too little, we fear, was ascer-
tained In advance. There are some farm
mortgage companies doing safe and honest
business, and there are others doing a BUSH
ness which is neither, and the public ought
to have some better means Of discriminating
between them than they now have. The
honest companies, we have little doubt,
would welcome some form of State super
vision. t

The superiority of the advantages of Port
land over those of Augusta as a seat of the
capital must have been apparent to the legis-
latiye committee that visited the city yester-
day. They found here easy and comforta-
BILE means of travel about the city, large and
elegant hotels and the finest site for CAPT.
toll building that any city in New England
affords. In all these respects Augusta is far
inferior We may confidently expect re-
port from the committee that will recognize
the advantages that Portland possesses in
these respects, as well as in respect to the
better communications it affords with other
parts of the State.

was treated by some of the legislators
moving that the reward be reduced to TWEEN,
ty-fiye cents-shows that the people of Ar
kansas are yet far from being sufficiently re-
generated to take very serious view of
election frauds. The offering of the reward,
1t Ia to be feared, is simply slight conces-
sion to the public opinion Of other States and
indicates no serious intention of ferreting

from pestilence and famine; to our hus-
bandmen abundant harvests and to them
that labor recompense for their toll
Now, therefore, 1, Benjamin Harrison,

the 2Sth day Of this month of November,
be set apart as day of national thanks
giving and prayer, and that the people Of
our country, ceasing from the cares and
labors of their working day, shall assemble
in their respective places Of worship and
give thanks to God, who has prospered us
on our way and made our paths the paths
of peace, beseeching Him to bless tho day
