The decline up to this writing

three and u half feet.
A number of the refugees are
already preparing to resume their

and some few others.
There is a considerable amount
of deposit this time, and this
together with the decayed anima

Tie Importance of an Efficient
Militia.

The promptitude with which the mi
litia force called ont by the Governor OF
PENNSYLVANIA was mobilized and the
fact that that State has been able to
conce nitrate within very short space
of time an efficient force of over six
thousond men we'll armed and eqnip-
ped in every respect, proves that there
is maintained in that commonweath
such militia as every state in the = mon
should possess.
OF course it is not contendcd that
each State should maintain AS many ci-
tizen soldiers as Pennsylvania when
has force numbering about !",oUo
men, but the smaller States should each
possess a force commensurate with its
needs and population, and should GER
tainly initiate Pennsylvania and few
Others of the Eastern and middle States
in the matter of discipline, equipment
and the degree of efficiency in which
the National Guard IN that State Is
maintained.
In holding that each State should pos
| sess proper militia force 1t is not
meant that such a fore should be USED
| except in serious emergencies ana
when the civil power has entirely failed
to enforce the law. Governor Patti
son has acted most wisely In refusing
to call the State troops Of PENNSYLVANIA
until it was conclusively proven that
the civil power was unable to restore
order, but when he acted he sent a
force sufficiently large to demonstrate ions naa
cess OF law.
By this moderate and careful course
Governor Pattison has demonstrated
most clearly that the presence Of the
militia at HON estead Is not iDte nded Al
an Interference In the disputes between
| capital aud labor, but merely TO preserve
the public peace. enforce respect for tht
law and properly safeguard life ant
property.
such are the proper functions OF s
we'll organized militia force, as simila
emergencies are likely to arise at am
time In every State, each of them shouit
be provided with a National Gu'rd o

Carnegie came to this country n
poor boy. BY taking cunning adj
vantage of our liberal laws, he has
secured an immense fortune. Part
of his money he has donated to
Scotch towns to advertise himself
kNd his business. For the same rea-
sou. he built Carnegie hall, i'll New
York, which is now to have its name
changed to Homestead hall, to re-
mind the public of its origin, He
might be expected to sympathize In
some degree with the laboring
masses from whom this country has
raised him; out he is of a selfish ma
ture and no parveuu cares for those
whom he has left behind lii the
struggle for wealth. The merits OF
the dispute between his employees
and himself as to wages are swept
away by the great crime he commit
ted in hiring the Pinkerton thugs
to kill working people. That tire
mendous wrong puts the employees
forever in the right. Carnegie ane
Ibis agent Frick, are guilty of ever.
