TUE Argentine Republic was being
eaten up by the tax.gatherer, who took
his toll in the interest OF British bond

their money, but the financial pressure
on the one hand and rival ambitions on
the other were sufficient to upset the
government. 1t is amazing how quickly
they do these things in Southern coun-
tries.

MODELLING The MILITIA.

There may be some who will object to
Gen. HENDERsoN's mobilization bill on
the ground that it is carrying the pater-
nal theory of government too far for
the safety of our institutions. Still,
upon closer investigation, it will be
found to be one of the very few prac-
teal measures that have yet received the
attention of this congress. and is in per-
feet harmony with the spirit of the fed
eral constitution. The purpose is to en-
act national militia law which will
enable the federal government to aid
the several states in perfecting volun-
teer militia organizations that will be
serviceable in times of war or in any
special emergency requiring an active
military force. Most of the states have
militia organizations. but in most in
stances they are practically useless,
either from the inability or from the I'M
willingness of the states to appropriate
sufficient money to keep the local mill
tary organization in proper trim. The
HENDERSON bill proposes to encourage
the organization of the state militia I'M
der state control, but to be mainly sup
ported by federal aid. 1t provides for
an annual appropriation of 81, 000,0 900 for
furnishing the states with arms and
equipment for the militia, and makes
further provision for annually bringing
under instruction for thirty days linn
tied and select portion of the militia
as volunteers in connection with
the regular army. The object of
the latter provision is to create a vol
unteer military service in every way as
effective as the regular service, yet
without the heavy expense necessary to
maintain standing army. In a repub-
lie like ours, where we depend on the vol
unteer militia for national defense, the
HENDERSON plan is singularly appropri-
ate. The maintenance Of large stand
ing army is repulsive to our American
ideas, and yet we feel the necessity for
having an efficient military force in re-
serve that can be called out in emer-
gencies, or which will form the
nucleus for large army in
case Of war. 1t is only in
the event of a war or invasion that the
federal authorities have right to exer-
there can be no objection on that ground
to the federal government providing
ways and means for keeping up an eff
cent militia force in the several states
during the time OF peace. On the con-
trary, so long as the states themselves
fail to perfect their militia organization,
it is wisdom on the part of the federal
government to provide the means for
doing it. The only fault that can be
found with the HENDERSON bill is that
it does not appropriate enough money
for the purposes Indicated. Each state

THE SUGAR TROUBLE.

1t is given out that the committee
that has been struggling with the con-
undrum how to reduce the tariff on the
line of the Republican platform has
been able to get pretty much over all
the hard places except the sugar Ques-
ton. The old theory of protection was
to treat sugar as a foreign product only,
the Louisiana article not counting, as
they were Democrats down there. This
would make it proper subject for
putting down near the free line. A
majority of the Republicans on the COM
mittee still favor cutting the tax down
rs per cent. but they can't carry the
full party vote for that now. Kansas
and California, which have nearly solid
Republican delegations, insist that they
have sugar infants that must have gov
eminent nurture. In Nebraska and
Wisconsin also beet sugar factories are
being erected. and their members are
mostly protectionists. But the sugar
trust has made the sugar tax unpopular,
and the effort will be to persuade the

publicans to accept bounty in place of

PROVINCIALISM.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
attributes the preference Of Chicago to
New York for the worlds fair to the
spirit of proyincialism which Mr.. HAL
STEAD imagines perVades all latter-day
legislation. 1t would be fortunate if
this were true, but we fear that the
Cincinnati editors cOnceit gets the bet
ter OF his Judgment. Because he hap
pened to have been rejected by one
branch of congress has possibly i'm,
pressed him with the belief that con-
gress is exceedingly provincial in its
ideas. Nor is it at all flattering to Chi
cagO'S pretensionS to have it said that
its victory over New York was due to the
spirit Of provinclaism, for if there is one
thing more than another that Chicago
prides itself upon it is its claim to being
recognized as metropolis. We say,
however, that it would be fortunate if
there were more of the spirit of prOVin-
cialism IN our national legislation. The
tendency is, and has been for a long
time. in an opposite direction. Capital
and monopoly have their headquarters
in the big cities, and they being the two
important factors in shaping and con-
trolling all legislation, the result has
been to crush out that spirit Of provin-
cialism which is essential to all
national prosperity. The petty spirit
of rustic partisanship, of which
the metropolitan journals sometimes
complain, is, in fact, the real vitalizing
force in our national affairs. The only
trouble is that there is not enoughao it
to preserve the industrial equilibrium
between the cities and the country.
Within the last three decades our Amer
lean cities have grown out of all pro-
portion to the growth OF the rustic pop
ulation. In this way the country has
grown tOp-heavy. The foundation is
becoming too small for the SuperStruct-
ure. In the haste Of the few to become
rich the country is being supped of it's
resources, the springs of prosperity are
being dried up, and the danger is that
after while the structure will fall
from inherent weakness. We only
wish that Mr.. HALsTEAD's assertion
were correct, that Chicago's victory were
due to a spirit Of provincialiSm: for
then we could hail it as a healthy sign
ofreturning prosperity.

ACHANGE PROPOSED.

A bill has been introdu ced in the
Ohio legislature to provide for the
choice of presidential electors by con-
gressional districts. 1t does not appear
that it has the Endorsement of any party
or covers any political conspiracy. put
some Republican papers jump to the
conclusion that it is a Democratic
scheme to take most of the electoral
vote of the state from them in 1892. If
that were the case, the Republicans
could repeal the law in the legislature
to be elected in 1891, which they insist
they will control. The proposition of
the bill is to elect one from each con-
gressiUnal district. and the two repre-
senting the senators from the state at
large. In Ohio the Republicans, under
the plan, would probably elect, as at
present apportloned, the two at large
and six in diStricts-Or eight-tO fifteen
for the Democrats. This is allowable
by the constitution, which only provides
that the electors shall all be chosen oh
the same day, in any way each state
legislature may direct. That body may
provide for the election by districts
or may select the electors itself.
1t was urged by many Republicans
In 1880 that the New York legiSla-
ture should adopt this course, as
it had coutrol of that body and
the vote of that state was expected to
decide the contest. The Republican
national convention Of that year, after a
protraeted struggle, established the
right of the congressional districts to
elect members of that body. The prin-
ciple involved was the same as in the
bill introduced in the Ohio legislature,
but it will not receive Republican sup
port in its larger application. In the
earlier times most of the electors were
chosen by districts or the legislature.
There was not uniformity on the pres
ent system until after the war. The
great states gradually abandoned the
district method, as it dWarfed their i'm
portance in the contest. For instance,
in that mode, New York, as it now
stands. would have fifteen votes for the
Democrats, nineteen for the Republicans
and two in doubt The state fight would
be for the two. just as in the smallest
state. No fraud or illegitimate methods
could affect more than two votes, so that
there would be comparatively little in
ducement to employ them. The most
serious danger that plan involves is the
temptation it offers to gerrymander the
congressional districts. There is a
growing sentiment in favor of some
plan to reduce the importance of the
great states in the contest.

THE RLAGK STATE.

The Democrats in Oklahoma naturally
resolve against the flooding of that terri
tory with negroes with view to max
ing it black state. Still, they approve
the coming of colored people there as
settlers, and favor their possession of
equal privileges. But they do not differ
from the white Republicans in this.
The latter want a reasonable number of
negroes to come and vote the party
ticket, but do not want them to bother
about the offices. But the Afros seem
to be coming in droves, and if they are
numerous enough to outYote the whites
and take the offices, there is no help for
it, apparently. The whites there are
but few thousand, and none of them
have been there long enough to be ac-
climated. They can easily push out to
other regions if the blacks take the
country. MURAT HALsTEAD says it is
the best thing that can be done to en-
courage colored immigration there and
let it become black state. He says it
will give them an opportunity to show
their capacity for self-gOvernment and
aid somewhat in alleviating the asper-
tiles of race questions. If they choose
to 60 there they will make it black
state.

THOSE FRENCH CLAIMS.

Tho house committee has decided to
report in favor of an appropriation to
pay such of the French spoliation
claims as have been proved valid before
the court of claims in Washington.
Some five or six years ago congress
passed bill providing that the holders
of these might appear before the court
and establish their claims. This has
been done by many, and the amour is
proved up are probably some five or six
mil ions out Of an original obligation of
twenty or more millions. These it is
proposed to pay the face of, without any
interest. The original owners of these
claims were mostly residents of New
England; but their descendants, who
are said to still hold most of them, are
scattered all over the country. The
debt was assumed by the government
about ninety years ago. AT the time of
the Revolutionary war this country en-
tered into treaty of alliance with
France, ard stipulated to defend her
West India possessions. The latter
were attacked few years later, and our
government ignored the obligation of
the treaty. A little later many Ameri-
can ships were captured by the cruisers
OF France, and the United States in
sisted upon payment for them from the
French. The claim was conceded, but

THREE In THE GANG.
Expert Diamond Thieves Work
Chicago jewelers.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Six weeks ago
the police of the central station became
aware that a number of expert diamond
thieves were in the city. Little else
was known at that time, except that
there were at least two mea and one
woman in the gang. Since then little
OF nothing has been learned concerning
the movements of the thieves, further
than that three robberies have been
planned and executed successfully, and
one very clever attempt made and
foiled. The thieves first began opera
lions by sending messenger boy with
an order over the forged signature of
some wealthy and prominent business
men to dealer liz diamonds.
None of the diamond dealers were
victimized, however, III this way, as
they were suspicious and made inquiries
by telephone or otherwise before send
ing out the goods. Finding the forgery
plan would not work. the thieves adopt
ed another and more successful one, by
which the wholesale jewelers. of the
downtown district have lost about
81 900 worth of file stones. A few days
ago a member of the firm of Giles Bros,
State and Washington streets. was
