The Military Arm OF the State Service

No provision Of the Constitution OF the
State is more solidly framed into this or
gsnic charter of the rights and duties of
the people. than that pertaining to the
militia. 1t takes equal rank with the ju-
dicial, the Legislative and the executive
branches Of the government. In the dec
laration Of personal rights, the manner of
proceeding In public elections, the distrib-
ution of governmental powers and the or
ganizatiou Of the legislative bodies the
constitution is particular, minute and ex-
plicit 1t is equally so regarding the or
ganizstion Of the militia, who make up its
force. how the officers are to be elected.
and their several duties performed. The
militia being part Of the organic con-
stitution, laws have from time to time
been enacted making up the military code
Of the state by which the troops are gov
erued. The Legislature has always
recognized the claims of the militia, and
no department of the State government.
no interest Of its citizens has been more
literally dealt with than has this. The
appropriations for military purposes have
always been liberal. aud to many persons
have seemed unduly so in comparison with
other objects which have needed the fos-
tering aid Of the State, and for which it
has been called upon to grant
assistance. But Legislators and
people have deferred much to the martial
spirit aud acted upon the principle that
loyalty TO the constitution meant liberal
ity and support to the military arm of the
public service. The ''boys in blue" have
always been well looked out for by the
servants Of the State.
II the constitution and the law have any
significance they mean that the annual
muster, encampment and review of the
State troops are for purposes of the most
severe military discipline. and the highest
good to the service. The muster and
field evolutions at encampment supple
ment the squad drills Of the company aru-
ories for purposes Of the most thorough and
efficient discipline Of the troops. The
State muster, therefore, becomes, not a |
place or occasion for '.junketing- and
having good time:- but field Of bu<i- |
ness and work. II b not boys play, but

General Business OF the Week.

The splendid prospects for crops still
keep the prices Of cereals low, and have
had tendency TO decrease the demand
both at home and abroad. We do not
now speak Of Maine or New England, be-
cause the condition Of crops here has no
significance, whatever, upon trade or
prices. The grain harvest here has met
with much wet and unfavorable weather,
which il to be deplored, "a 1t has caused
local losses, but losses which in no way
affect business. Quotations would indicate
that Western spectators are busy In de-
pressing the market preparatory to an adj
vance later on. But the crop condition
as reported by the Department Of Agri-
culture, favors large American yield,
which is evidence that the United States
will hold its asceBdency In the foreign
markets American exports Of wheat
and -four we're large last week, but are
800, 600 bushels behind 1883 for the crop
year. The receipts Of grain at Chicago
and other points In the West are very
large. Corn ia slightly lower on the fine
growing weather throughout the corn belt,
which seems to assure larger crop than
was expected month ago. There will
be danger Of frost upto the middle of next
month, but prices are based on the as
sumption OF yield Of 1900, 000. 900 of
bushels. Hogs and provisions had another

Of Inhabitants, and it is at present suffering

seventy>six cases reported on Saturday,
with twelve deaths. The village is up on

three quarters of Il mile. There is plenty
OF pure air, and it ought to be healthful

bad. The Evening Post says: 1.-The hog

undoubtedly be carried to other places.
