FNIIsTMENTS.

Commenting upon the proposition of the
War Department to receive recruits for the
army, on a trial of three weeks, within
which time they may honorably retire if
dissatisfied, we commended the idea. Ger
tainly it is an advanced step, but refec-
ton convinces us that it is not enough and
that it will not produce the results desired
because the term is not sufficiently long.
The recruit who has three weeks of pro-
baton will be very considerably treated
by officers, and the harsh side of the life of
the soldier will be masked during that
time. He can learn very little of soldierly
duty in SO short period-in fact, he may
be in the awkward squad much longer
time. But suppose the probation were ex-
tended to one year, would not the results
be infinitely better? The recruit in that
time will have learned very much of the
routine of the soldiers life; he will have
ascertained to his own satisfaction whether
such calling is to his taste. If then he
chooses to remain, all the probabilities
will be in favor of his efficiency and gen.
eral desirability. If he retires he will at
least have received instruction that will be
of the highest value, if in time of need the
nation has to call upon her citizens to form
an army of defense. The men who will
retire each year will thus be added to the
sum of citizenship that knows what it is
to bear arms under military discipline.
With such probationary period adopted,
the retiring recruit should be required as
condition precedent to honorable dis
charge, to repay to the Government the
cost of the uniform and body outfit that he
has at the time of the discharge, that the
Government may not suffer loss. So too,
it would be well to require that the re-
cruit should remain during the entire year
of probation, and not have discharge at
any time within it. This idea of year
of trial has approval, indeed originates
with military men, who have seen service
and whose judgment is of value. They as
sert that the recruit of three weeks cannot
possibly acquire any adequate knowledge OF
soldiers life, that man may indeed serve
two or three months, and so far as knowl-
edge of military duty is concerned, not be
qualified to judge whether the service
would be agreeable to him or not

Health of House Mother.

So much depends upon a woman's health
that l wonder young wives do not consider
it more. Let your physical well-being be
a chief consideration. Let nothing deter
you from taking your daily walk. Have
plenty of sunshine admitted into your
house. Spend as much time as possible in
the open air. While generally speaking,
early rising is healthful, yet if you feel
that you cannot get up at the regular hour,
do not do so. Nature never mistakes, and
if she demands another hour of slumber,
you will be the gamer by yielding. Have
your meals at proper times. If your hus-
band is detained at his shop beyond the
regular dinner hour, let no sentimental
consideration induce you to wait for him
beyond fifteen minutes. By adhering to
this you will develop in him a remarkable
punctuality. Do not let trifies ruffie your
serenity. / am satisfied that cheerfulness
does more to promote health than all other
efforts.

PROFESSOR ATwATER is out in paper
declaring that the American people
shorten their lives by eating too much.
Possibly, but the chief cause of physical
ills is rapidity of eating. Two things We
can concede-we eat too much of animal
food and of food charged with saccharine
matter That as meat-eaters we are in
temperate is undeniable AMI this con-
clusion applies TO all classes, whether of
sendentary habits or accustomed to hard
physical toll, though the latter need more
of animal food than the former, of course.
But what, after all, is the profit in thus
preaching. These truths have been
sounded in the ears of the people for fifty
years, and the result has been apparently
an increase in the consumption of animal
matter, per capita.

THE withdrawal of leased steamers from
the Canadian Pacific line means only
that the opportunities for money making
on that line are so great, with the Amer
lean railroads and their steamer connec-
tions handicapped as they are, that the
owners and builders of steamships are
quarrelling for the purse. 1t ought to
teach the American politicians the neces-
sity of doing something to neutralize the
unfair competition of the foreign route
with the home transcontinental lines.

THE matter of the construction Of street
pavements in the city of San Francisco is
one of great Importance, but the overdoses
the San Francisco press administers to its
readers on the subject are nauseating. The
question of adopting the best paving ma
terial ought to be debated without acri-
mony and vitrperation, in which there is
no strength, and through which conviction
is never secured.

CAPTAIN HENRY ERBEN has submitted to
the Navy Department plan for augment
ing the efficiency of the navy. 1t is very
simple and very sensible. He does not
propose to interfere with the apprentice
system at all, but he would have the APP
prentices receive thorough instruction in
gunnery, and also be given all possible
instruction in sailor routine duty. Then
he would have all petty officers picked
from the ranks, and thus keep constantly
alive spirit of emulation and striving
for honorable place. This certainly would
improve the personnel of the enlisted force
of the navy, since it would stimulate young
men to enter it and remain in it, and it
would also bring all the petty officers into
closer sympathy with the men, and result
III better work from the crews. The Greer
Board of Advice has received Captain Err
ben's proposition with much favor, and has
given him patient hearing. 1t is prob
able that the Department will receive from
the Board advice to try the proposed sys-
tenn. 1t has in it so much of sense, that
we believe it will be adopted. The only
wonder is that it has not been thought of
before.

THE British Minister at Washington has
been commissioned to devise and submit a
treaty between the American and English
Governments that shall settle permanently
all the issues concerning Behring Sea, the
banks and fisheries, and all other matters
that are causes at this time of irritation
between the two nations. This is the
sensible and humane order of action. 1t
is a thousand fold better than the buster
and threatening of our cousins of British
possessions and the Dominion 1t is posi-
BILE for the two great nations to come to
an amicable arrangement on all matters
at issue, and until the very latest posi-
bility of such peaceful settlement has van
ished, we should not give even the sugges-
ton of war a thought. The true states
manship is that which makes war improb-
able; the consummate diplomacy is that
which avoids, rather than promotes, con-
ficts of nations.

THE Chief Executive of the State
charges that the Commission erected to
locate the new Insane Asylum has not
acted unselfshly, and that he has received
an offer on behalf of the Commission, to
the effect that if he would appoint the
Commissioners as a Board of Direction for
the asylum he could have the institution
located where he pleased. In short, the
charge is one of jobbery, and nothing less.
1t implies willingness to sell the discre-
ton reposed In the Commission, and
scarcely graver offense against the State
can be fancied. On the other hand, the
Commissioners, so far as heard from, deny
the charge with warmth, and the writer of
the letter that is supposed to have been
penned in their behalf, denies that he
made any offer of the nature described, or
that he was authorized to do so; he as
serts that he only expressed the opinion
that if the Commissioners received the
appointment they would select a suitable
site. Even this statement is most damag-
ing to the writer of the letter, since it con-
veys the idea he entertained of the Com
mission, that it would select a suitable site
if certain thing were done, and, per
contra, that it would not if the suggestion
was not adopted. 1t is possible that Mr.
Waters intended no ofense against pro-
priety, and that his zeal has simply outrun
his better judgment; but at the best it was
indiscreet to write to the appointing Off
cial even so much as it is said he admits
having written. However, it is to be
hoped that he will be able to further ex-
plain away the charge, and interpret the
letter in consonance with public interest.
No judgment should be formed concerning
the Commissioners until they are all and
fully heard from. But the affair has so
much of State Importance, and touches SO
closely upon the question of venality, that
all parties concerned ought to be solicitous
to have speedy and thorough investiga-
tion made, and neither the press nor the
Commission can afford to pass the mat
ter by.

MANY DISASTERS.
Fatal Railroad Accident in
New York.
A Woman Killed by a Boiler
Explosion.
Ten Men Killed in a Colliery
Explosion.

New YORK, Sept. 2S.-The following
particulars of a railroad disaster at Pala-
tine bridge last night has been received
BY New York Central officials: The en-
gine OF the first section of the train broke
the cylinder head and stopped. The
train was composed of one baggage car,
three coaches, one sleeper and the Big
Four and Michigan Central private cars
in the order named. The second section,
composed of n baggage car and six
sleepers, ran into the first section. A
Michigan Central private car on the rear
end was broken. In this car was the
president of the Michigan Central, II. b.
Ledyard. He escaped uniniured.
MIR. b ingalls, was in his private car
the third from the rear. He escaped I'M
hurt. but Mrs, ingalls, received slight in
jury about the limbs. The porter of the
car which Mr.. and Mrs. Ingalls, occupied
was killed. His name is not known.
Four persons in the Buffalo sleeper were
killed. Up to the present time the names
have not been received here. The fol-
lowing persons are reported injured:
VIM. McElrv of New York, Mary

iured. Manning has since died.

The Minority Report.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-John A. Me
Clernand of the Utah commission to-day
submitted his minority report. The reason
of no-n-concurrence in the report of his
colleagues, he says, Is its general animus,
particularly in its distinction between the
opinion and actions as subjects legislative
punishment. The existing laws, he says,
are working well. Further aggressive leg
|islation t%renching upon civil and political
privileges would be an injury rather than
beneficial. No religion was ever finally
destroyed by either armed or unarmed
prescription.
McClernand enters upon an extensive
treatise showing the danger to be appre-
hended from trenching upon the religious
convictions of the people. He concludes
by recommending an amendment to the
federal constitution p~erpetually prohibit
ing polygamy under whatsoever guise, not
only in states, but also in territories and
other places over which the United States
has or may have exclusive Jurisdiction.
He dwells at some length upon the I'M
portance of this amendment and says it
would substitute a lasting organic law for
legislative enactment which must cease to
operate with the cessation OF anomalous
territorial conditions. The Mormon re
ligion. he says, purged of its impurities,
will probably survive. How long he can
not forsee. The ages of that fanat'
icism and faulty, he says, which
conceived the inquisition aud rack,
which burned Lattimer and Ridley at the
stake, which Inflicted the massacre of St.
Bartholomew, and which drove the Puri-
tans, the Hugenots, the Quakers and their
co-devotces to the cause of freedom from
their native lands to find refuge in the
New World and to people it with TEEN
ing millions and to bless it with Republi-
can principles and forms, those ages have
passed away and to revive their
dark and intolerant spirit Now in the
nineteenth century would add another
proof and lament that the course of the
nations is not upon straight lines but in
Maynard circles ending where they began
and Recognizing where they begun.

ENGLISH CAPITAL
Extensive Purchases by Two

Capital Of $87, 100000.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The expenditure
Of $50, OGO, 900 by two English syndicates
for the control of an extraordinary aggre-
gregate of industrial enterprises in the
United States was completed in this city
to-day. The syndicates included in the
membership a great humble of British
bankers and trustees OF large estates in
the United Kindom. No business was ac-
qnired for them in the United States
which has not paid at least.l2f per cent a
year for the past five years. Grain eie
vators, Touring mills and breweries have
been the fovorite investment. The man
agement of each of the various enter
prises will be placed in American boards
of directors, subject u the control of
the board in London.
A representative OF the syndicate here,
when asked to day if this does not look
like the establishment of a huge British
trust, said: No. Each enterprise is
operated separately. The plan is not
one OF aggression. but of conser 5atlye and
sure investments" Hostile legislation. it
is learned, has been ~cleverly evaded in a
careful manner. The deal embraces a
chain OF elevators from the Minnesota
and Dakota wheat district to Chicago.

These contractors, together with the
