The National Militia.

The Tory St. James Gazette, of Lon
don, seems to have a poor opinion of
Yankee fighting material. It says if
there should be d warlike invasion of the
United States, the only force outside of
the handful of men in our regular army
would be an EARNED mob" All the
same it would hardly be safe for Eng
land or any other European power to
try such an invasion Our little EARNED
mob" without any regular army. at all,
was too many for England even in 1776.
Has The st. James Gazette forgotten
that? Furthermore, the whole country
learned lesson from the civil war It
was that no matter how peaceful and
prosperous a country is, she can never
afford to let the national militia die out.
Ever since the war, therefore, the
strong young sons of the republic have
been drilling and perfecting the home
regiments. Congress makes large appro-
priations to them annually and govern
ment takes warm interest in them. The
7ational militia Isl the parade at tho CEN
/tennial celebration in April showed some
as handsome and well drilled regiments
as any militia reserves the sun ever
shone upon. The young men are enthu-
siastic in athletic exercising and in at
tanning grace and precision of move
ment. If discipline is somewhat lax in
the direction of an awful reverence for
their superior Offices, that fault may be
forgiven in time of peace in afree coun-
try. The American militiaman is a
thinking bay onet and not a machine.
No! In weeks time we could put a
hundred thousand trained soldiers in the
field. Does The st. James Gazette per-
haps think these boys would not stand
fire? Let it try them and see.

Presbyterian General Assembly.

Three subjects of grave Importance
came before the general assembly of the
Northern Presbyterians at their meeting
in New York. The first was the question
of union with the Presbyterian Church
South, whose assembly was at the same
time in session in Chattanooga. This
matter was left much as the question of
uniting Canada and the United States
has been left. Both assemblies were in
favor of cordial cooperation, but not of
organic union.
The second subject was very serious
one, no less than the revision Of the
Westminster Confession of Faith. Nearly
250years ago this confession was adopted
by the general assembly at Westminster.
1t has been the standard of faith ever
since, to which each one joining the
Presbyterian church has subscribed. One
of the articles of the Confession of Faith
is that God has predestined certain men
and angels to be saved in glory, while
others are to be damned eternally, both
merely because it was Gods pleasure.
For many years Presbyterians have
been growing restive under this teach
ing. which is called the doctrine of rep
rotation. The same idea is variously
alluded to under the name of foreordina-
ton, predestination and election. It was
not question of the inspiration of the
Bible, or of faith in it, but a question of
whether the views of the fathers of the
creed were suitable to the present age.
At the general assembly, therefore, it
was found that fifteen loyal and faith
full presbyteries out of 201 in the entire.
communion respectfully petitioned for a.
revision of the creed and confession,
particularly in regard to predestination
and election. The assembly. as admirable
tempered and able body of ministers
as ever came together, decided, in the
true spirit of republicanism, to leave the
matter to the vote of the presbyteries
themselves during the coming year. If
a majority desire revision, it will be time
enough to take action after this is ascer-
tanned. The two divisions Of Old and
New School Presbyterians have disap-
peared.
The third serious question before the
assembly was that ofdemperance. First,
the brethren declared themselves in fa-
yor of resolution expressing general
sympathy with all movements in favor
OF total abstinence. Then they passed
vote in favor Of constitutional prohibi-
tion. On the last day of the session,
however, Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby Sc
cured the passage Of. the following
unique utterance. It was carried with
applause:
Resolved, That the deliverances Of fhis assem-
bly, on the subject Of prohibition are not to be
considered as the advocacy Of any particular po-
HticaI party.

CHICAGO, May 80. The Chicago, Bur-
ington and Northern railroad has an
nounced reduction on all classes of
freight between Chicago and st. Paul
amounting to nearly 35 per cent. The
reduction is intended to meet the cut
rates of the Canadian Pacific and $500"
roads. The st. Paul and Kansas City
has also given notice that it will drop
rates, meeting any tariff which ITS COM
petitors might make. It is believed that
all lines viii meet the cut, and that the
fight against the Canadian lines may
prove to be very serious affair.

The present situation Of free Hayti is
as bad and disgracefu1 as it can be. If
the two contending parties there would
destroy each other, like the Kilkenny
cats, then there would be some hope.
There could be a new deal and a fresh
start towards civilization. But this they
show no signs of doing. Voodooism is
rampant. Black and white babies are
sacrificed in terrible heathen rites, if re-
ports are true. The worst vices of civil
ization and the most frightful practices
of African barbarism at once hold sway
over the wretched mongrels who now
inhabit Hayti. Current talk from Wash
ington whispers of a protectorate by the
United States over Hayti. Europe might
perhaps not like it, but what could she
do?

A new Boston idea is the formation of
classes for the political education of
women. A club of ladies take up text
books on political history and economy,
study them carefully, and discuss the

inent men in Boston, and they are aiding
the ladies in various ways. Recently

THANKSGIVING.

The day was spent in semi-Sabbath
manner in our town. All dined on
tukey,-it is to be hoped some went
cunning and a few exercised at lab r.
The stores and places of business were
all closed. Rev /. Jewell preached a
Thanksgiving sermon in the morning
from the 9th chap, 20 v of Ephesians:
"Give thanks for all things unto God"
The sermon was mainly a dissertation
on the political aspect of the times,
which are full of popular unrest, with
a glance at some of the most promi-
nent causes of that widespread dis1uiet
in the minds of the masses. The
Knights of the Golden Eagle, Har-
mony Castle, attended church in a
body. In the evening the knights
held a public meeting in the Town
Hall, which was addressed by Mr.. r.
Emory Ennis, Supreme Chief of the
Order.

be so managed that it can be swung as
pendulum with telling force to regulate tn.
legislation of the country.
Our farmers are robbed and made tn
prey of a mortgage grabbing class through
a system of finance which was invented by
usurers for their own interest.
"We believe that with such an alliance
we can dictate the financial policy of the
government, and thereby make good prices
and high wages the rule, instead of depressed
prices and high rates of interest as at pres
ent.
'In few words. We mean TO kill off, if
possible, the system of usury that now pre-
walls and bring the means of transportation
fully under the control of the people,"
MR.. wRIGHT's VIEWS.
In reference TO the suggested alliance be-
tween the Farmers Alliance and the
knights of Labor A. w. Wright, of the
General Executive Board, said: at cannot
be stated at present what will be its scope
but that there will be an agreement more or
less partaking of the nature of an alliance
may be looked upon as certain.
"An invitation has been extended TO the
knights to send representatives to the great
farmers convention which meets in ST.
Louis on December 8, and this has been
accepted as cordially as it has been given.
"The speech of President Livingston, of
the Georgia Alliance, to the General As
sembly, at Atlanta, satisfied the delegates
present that in all essentials the objects of
the two organizations are identical.
"The wisdom of two bodies whose aims
and methods are essentially the same in
deciding TO act in harmony does not require
to be demonstrated.
General Master Workman Powderly,
Ralph Beaumont, of New York, and myself
will go to the St. Louis meeting with the
assurance that in AL they do to bring about
closer relations between the two great Sec
tions of the army of producers we will have
the support and approval of the whole
order.
AS TO ACTUAL CONSOLIDATION.
LAS to whether anything will be done
looking 10 an actual amalgamation of the
organization of the two orders, / cannot say,
but even without this it will be quite DOS.
slbe to arrive at an agreement which will
enable both TO act unitedly in bringing
about those reforms to which both are
pledged.
Regarding the combined membership of
the two organizations, do not think that it
will be an overeslimate to place it at $780,
900, and of these very nearly 1900, 900
will be voters.''

Fatal Accident to an Old Citizen of

From q Wheeling paper we copy
the following account of the death OF
Saml. J. Lochard, whom many of
our readers wree formerly acqaaint
ed with. The fatal accident occur
red on the 18th Of this month.
The accident came about in this
wise: Mr.. Lochard has a son who
works in the Standard mill, Etna
vile. and the father came down to
Bridgeport yesterday morning to pay
him brief visit. He went up to
4Etnaville and saw his son, and at
the conclusion of the visit started to
return to Bridgeport by walking
along the track of the G. L. & W.
railroad. This track, from the vicin.
ity of the Standard mill down to
Bridgeport. is principally on a high
crestle, and is particularly danger
Gus foot.walk. About the time Loeb.
ard had gotten we'll out on the rail-
road trestle, on his way to Bridge
por'. c., L. & w. yard engine ran
car out onto the main track from a
switch, and began pushing it south
along the track in the direction of
the Bridgeport station. The car be-
ing in advance Of the engine, OBJ
structed the vision of the engineer,
and the presence of Lochard ON the
track was not, therefore, sus oected
Lochard heard the advancing engine.
and realizing his danger, attempted
to get off the track, but in doing so
slipped and fell with one leg across
the rail, and before he could regain
his feet or. roll off the track the
wheels of the car ran over him.
The train was barely moving at
the time, but it was not brought to a
stop until the rear trucks ran over
the poor fel 'ow. The engineer then
noticed that something was on the
track, and brought the engine to q
hal5. The train crew at once picked
the body up and carried it to the
railroad yard Office, where Drs. Cook
and Fisher were summoned. An ex
animation showed that the left leg
had been cut off close up to, and in.
cluding portion OF body, making a
most horrible wound, that could not
but result in death in a few hou1s.
Everything was done for the unfor.
tuuate that was possible, but Mr..
Lochard never regained conscious.
ness and died about eight o'clock
last night.
