The proposed revision of our present
militia laws is of a great deal of interest to
many, and there was a hearing Monlay
afternoon before the commission appointed
to revise the law Col Kendall came over
from Riideforl and there were present
LIEUT. Col +. l.. iIoyt, Capt Riker, Maj.
+. II Storah, Mai. l.. :. tblcpit and
others. The hearing WAS held in the adju-
taut generals office.
Col Kendall was asked TO give his opin
ions on the features of the law under con-
sideration. He was strongly opposed to
having hut one l2-company regiment. He
would have two 5 or two l2-eompany regi-
ments, anil would also restore the brigade
organization.
Col Kendall said that in Portland the
city had not provided any rifle range, and
that the men were Obliged to 90 to the fort
for practice. which caused them much in
convenience. He tboaght there should he
provision in the new law that cities or
towns where military comp,nv is located
should furnish such range and maintain
suitable accommodations ior shooting.
Gen. Choa,e sent draf; of section COW
ering this point, and whi( b would be con
si1ered.
Major Chilcot, favored the plan of hav-
ing two regiments with brigade formation,
and under one head. Thought colonel
sufficiently high office. He thought that
battalion commander should stand in the
same relation 10 the regimental commander
as the latter did 10 the brigade commander.
He believed it necessary to have an inspec-
tor of rifle practice on the staff. The
great reason why the companies didn't
come into camp with ranks nearer full, was
chiefly because the employers of the men
would not allow them to attend muster. lie
believed the present full dress uniform was
a supertinity, and that the militia would be
better of without it; the expense too could
b. reduced one-half by having only the
regular fa,igue uniforms. Full dress uui-
yorms cannot be made over when men leave
the COMPANY and new men come in Didn't
believe in the election Of officers. but un-
derstooi the constitution provided 1t.
Didn't think an examining board could fully
remedy this difficulty. Thought the law
when revised should provide for the ambu-
lance corps. He was very DESTROYS that the
Law shout provide that arms might be fur
nishetl for boys in some of the schools that
are being drilled. and if they c,uli have
the arms, he thought they would become As
proficient as the militia. He favored the
name National Gusrsis.
Capt. Riker spoke of the work done by
his ambulance corps. He found i much
more efficient under the preses, arrange
ment with the men drilled solely for that
work, than when details from both
regiments were had. He favored two
companies with brigade organization. The
other officers present spoke in behalf OF two
regiments.

Shameful Economy.

Secretary Hoke Smith is econo-
MIXING. He proposes to save the
country 50, 3o0,0 900 during the pres
ent fiscal year. This is how Secre-
tary Hoke Smith is going to effect
the saving of such II comfortable
sum of money, and we call the
special attention of Union veterans
to his methods.
In the first place Secretary Hoke
Smith reduces pension payments by
100000. Think how many pen
sioners must be dropped from the
rolls to save S., 100000. 1t would
require the suspension of over 3d.
900 pensioners receiving IS a
month, which is about the average
rate under the act of 1890.
But we have said he will reduce
expenditures SO, 300, 900; why then
curtail pension payments IS, 900, 900
or 81 100000 in excess of the pro-
posed economy? This is the reason.
There are hordes of hungry and
thirsty Democrats whose clamors
for Office must be quoted bya Gov
eminent salary.
So Secretary HOke Smith will
take S5,000.O00 from crippled and
diseased veterans, put $500, 000E
the Treasury and pay the balance,
81, 100000 to these hungry and
thirsty Democrats.
Secretary Hoke Smith comes from

More PIE to Be Distributed.

Mr.. Cleveland has found the
management of the pie counter too
much for his unaided personal eff
forts, and he has therefore districted
it, so to speak. He will hereafter
accept the recommendations of cabi
net officers for appointments COM
ing under their departments. in
stead Of undertaking to pass per-
sonally on the merits of applicants
in each individual case.
This multiplication of pie distrib-
utors means more rapid supplying
of the wants of those around the
pie counter. Democratic patriots
with hearts long sick by hope de-
ferred will now take courage and
move ON the departments in solid
phalanxes, specifying the particular
kind of pie which they imagine will
best agree with them.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1893-10-12
The Honest Thing To Do,


In leaving the Democratic party
to join the populists, Representa-
tive Bryan, of Nebraska, has done
manly thing. The State conven-
ton of his party endorsed the
Cleveland administration and pro-
nounced for the repeal of the silver
purchase law, against his earnest
protests. He accepted the decision
OF his party as final and as he could
not abide by it he got out.
His example is worthy of imita-
ton by the Populists who are figur-
ing as Republicans or Democrats in
the Senate. If Cameron, Stewart.
Teller and the rest of the silver
money men among the Republicans;
Morgan, Pugh, Vance, Vest and
the rest of the Democratic sllverites
would join the Populists, party lines
would be drawn and the issue made
up IN such a way that the people
could pass upon it. 1t is true that
such a reconstruction of parties
would wipe out the Democrtic ma
jority in the Senate, but with the
loss of that would go relief from re-
sponslbility. Its present majority
apparently gives it no control of
legislation. 1t remains in a state
of shameful impotence, and escape
from which should be welcome.
The Issue has become entirely too
grave to be compromised. Pres-
dent Cleveland is pursuing an hon
est and manly course in refusing to
entertain any proposition of that
sort. The purchase of silver pro-
vided for by the existing law is con-
ditioned upon the maintenance of
parity of value. When it becomes
manifest that further purchases
will destroy that parity it will be-
come the duty of the President to
stop them. There is no public ne
cessity therefore that can compel
acceptance of compromise. If the
Senate chooses to wallow in shame
let it do so, The issue can be made

a Southern state where thousands
Of men shot Democratic for four
years and voted Democratic all their
lives These men must be rewarded
for loyalty to party. So Secretary
Hoke Smith deprives the men they
shot at and voted against of 81, :
700, ZOO and gives liberal proper
ton of it TO these Democratic shoot
ers and voters.
The pension is taken from the
man who carries Il rebel bullet in
his body and paid to the man who
carries Union bullet IN his anat-
omy. Nothing can be simpler or
more effective. 1t is a combina-
ton of economy and sentiment
Democratic sentiment and economy
at the expense of the man who
perilled life and health in the de-
Tense of his country.
We ask you, Union veteran, what
is your opinion of Hoke Smith,
economy? Do you intend to indorse
such economy this fall by voting
the ticket of Hoke Smiths party in
Garrett county?

tions and election returns regardless
of votes or voters. 1t seems good
time to call halt in that direction,
and if necessary block the way to
all legislation, until the assurance
is gwen that the small safeguards
we now have against dishonest and
fraudulent elections shall not be
utterly thrown down and destroyed.
