particularly plain, soldierlilxe In the
best sense, and serviceable.
The mistake was particularly UNI
fortunate as applied to the militia of
this State. They have always done
good service and proved themselves
well drilled. The object of such Or
CARNATIONS is to prepare the State
for war in time of peace. No one
doubts what the New Jersey regiments
would do If called on for service in the
field. The Hibernian Rifles, them
selves, may be trusted to stand up for
New Jersey and New Jerseys National
Guard every time.
Supply the Hibernia Rifles with
arms, somehow; but don't abuse our
citizen soldiery.

"ERRoRs of judgment may have
been committed says the London
Times. No doubt the stockholders
who draw nine shillings two pence
profit this year instead of 500, 900 as
heretofore, have come to this conclu-
sion. But this qualified statement,
though its absurdity may be crafty
ing to Nj. Parnell, is hardly an apol-
ogy for the most reckless and unprin-
cipled act that ever disgraced jour
nalism.

law will be much fairer than the
present one, both to the liquor dealers
and to the communities which favor
prohibition. Some of the most odious
features of the present law are abol-
ished. Citizens are ct least given the
right, provided for in the constitution,
of trial by jury. The hurtful jug
taverns" will be abolished, something
for which all citizens should be CRATE
full. By one of the Baker Amend
ments, communities are permitted to
decide for themselves whether they
want prohibition or higher license
rates than are fixed by the law. All
the good features of the present law
are retained.
In these circumstances, it is hard to
e why any member of the legislature,
not influenced byparty considerations,
should refuse to vote for it. Least OF
all, is there any a why Demo
cratic members, elected on an excise
reform platform, should oppose it.

There is one characteristic of the con-
ventions in the new states which is dis
tinctly noticeable, and that is their hesi-
fancy and apparent unwillingness to ac-
cept any new ideas in government or
any novel experiments in legislation.
They avoid the uncertain and the pos
sibly dangerous innovations, that are
sprung upon them, as they would
step in the dark, sliding in the same
grooves as older conventions, patterning
after the constitutions of older states,
and adopting only what has heretofore
proved safe and sure in government.
This characteristic, SO clearly developed
in the conventions, is an evidence that
the people still possess that virtue, which
is the foundation Of perpetuity in our
republic, and which seeks change only
asnecessity and need for reformationd de-
mand it and not as the result of tickle
desire for something new.

The authorship of the constitution,
which was presented 10 the North Da-
kota constitutional convention for con-
sideration, is reputed to Senator Evarts,
Of New York, who, it is claimed, re-
ceived $500 for the job. He was hired
by nonresident property holders, who
desired to have clause inserted, of
special interest to themselves. The
matter was to have been kept secret but
it has happily leaked out and what
might have otherwise been passed over,
as Of little Importance, will now receive
the blue pencil Of the constitution
makers. 1t is only unfortunate that the
sum paid for the document was such a
paltry one, for it might have had a
wholesome influence on the men, who
sought to pull the wool over the eyes of
novitiates in constitution making, had it
been trife more expensive.

A number Of the department COM
rnanders Of the G. A. R. are trying to
wreak their wrath upon the railroads
by discouraging the attendance of the
various corps. This to us looks like
very small business. Because the rail
roads will not come down to the desired
figures is a slim excuse for attempting
to ruin the encampment and disap
pointing the hopes of Milwaukeeans by
keeping away those who would just as
soon go at the rates offered. It is a
small business because nothing is to be
attained thereby. The railroads un-
doubtedly care little whether they 60

The Rochester investigation com
mittee have finished the taking of testi-
mony and all that remains Of their un-
pleasant task is to report to the COVER
nor the result of their Investigations.
It is easy to see that their purpose is
to give manager Bowers a thick coat OF
whitewash. The testimony of all the
trustees was to the effect that Bowers
was q most excellent superintendent,
and most watchful oYe1seer, who was
not to blame for the wrongs perpetrat-
ed under his control. and who knew
nothing Of the cruel crimes committed
while he was manager. If such nom
sense of !. man, who, when he did hear
anything, forgot it and when a murder
was committed in his charge, let it
slip his mind, /" is to be accepted by
our chief executive he has less sense
than we have given him credit for. #
Bowers ism fired and severely repri-
manded at the time of his discharge,
the people, who have to bear portion
Of the disgrace, will not forget the men
who failed or were afraid 10 do it The
people have heard enough Of the testi-
mony to know that the superintendent
of the institution was far from innocent,
and the fact that he has for years been
a respected official will not excuse for
Furnishing him now when found out.
