1t would seem as if the "deep damna-

party. The disgraceful decker of Re-
preventative White, chairman of the
House committee on the liquor traffic.
and Speaker wachtel, with Representa-
tlves Lambert. Orth, Bowen and other
whisky champions. that if the latter
would support the senatorial steal the
Orth whisky bill should be taken up,
ought to open still wider the eyes of
the decent element of the Democratic
party. The Orth bill means q cutting
down of that "tariff which is tax" on
whisky to the ridiculously low figure of
$500 and granting of special privileges
to saloon keepers above what they now
have. 1t is n surrender to that element
which ought rather to be wiped out
than tolerated. And yet it is Demo-
cratic policy-"fulfilling the ante-elec-
ton party pledges" a. the extremists
of the majority assert. Here is a CON-
bination of the two worst elements of
the Democratic majority in the House
those who sanction the shameless
senatorial stea! and those who pander
to cheap whisky. BY union of forces
they expect TO carry both outrages
through. Speaker Wachtel, whose
course has been eminently fair hither-
to, has now lent himself to the un-
godly transaction. He ruled that the
senatorial bill, for which he has been so
anxious, was already on the order of
third reading, although the House
records showed 1t to he still on the
general order. He ordered the record
tinkered up accordingly. By this he
showed himself as capable of partisan
abuse of his Office as Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Strong. although he has not yet
been obliged to make such rank rulings.
Altogether it is sweet-scented conf
bination of INSCRIPTIONS partisans to
work evil ends. If the PEOPLE of the

ChESTNUTS.


Which the Militia Eoys Will Read and
Promptly Forget.
Brigadier General Robinson Of the
State troops, has issued orders which
will tend to make camp life no snap,
and will tend to do away with much
that caused sensations last year. The
following are extracts from the rules:
"While enroute to and from camp,
the senior officer present will assume
command, and viii be held personally
responsible for the good conduct and
behavior OF the troops for the time
being. A guard will be stationed at
tho doors of every car, and enlisted
men will not be permitted TO leave cars
at any stop without permission OF the
commanding officer. Any damage
to cars or other property will be de.
Quoted from the company pay"
Companies nottake any colors in
to camp. The regimental colors will be
displayed from headquarters as usual
but there must he no flags or emblems
of any kind in front of the line officers
tents or in company Streets"
"Tossing in blankets, 'hoodlum
bands pounding on tin pans, etc., etc.,
Is positively forbidden.
1T is hoped that every member Of
the state troops will remember that
from the moment he puts on his uni
form until he lays it aside, he is a
soldier in the service of the state, and
that every breach of discipline will not
only be q reflection upon himself, but
upon the,whole body Of troops.
1.-The Officers aud men will under
stand that the annual encampments
are intended for instruction and not
tor pleasure and social enjoyment.
With that end in view, they will not
invite ladies to remain in camp.
Company officers will impress upon
the minds of the soldiers the duty and
Importance of saluting properly, and
paying due respect to every officer,
they will also insist that fatigue coat be
kept buttoned, the clothing neat and
shoes properly blackened at all hours.
Colored or tennis shoes must not be
worn."
