THE MILITIA AT HOME.

1t is to be hoped the withdrawal of the
State militia from Hammond, after a serv-
ice of a little more than three weeks. marks
the beginning of a long reign Of order and
peace in Indiana. The necessity of calling
out the militia for the suppression of dis
order or the enforcement of law should al
ways be a matter of regret to good citi-
zens. and yet when the necessity arises it
should be promptly and firmly met. Owing
to the two great strikes which have recent
ly occurred, that of the coal miners and
that of the American Railway Union, the
Indiana militia nave been called upon to do
than during the whole period of the States
existence, excepting the civil war period.
1t is important to emphasize the fact that
they were not called out to oppose the
cause of the strikers in either case nor to
maintain that of the other side to the con-
troversy, but to prevent the violation of
law and protect the rights of person and of
property. In the discharge of this duty Off
GERS and men alike have shown an intelli-
gent appreciation of their relation to the
civil authorities and their duty to the State,
and have conducted themselves in such a
way as to merit the hearty commendation
of all good citizens. Acknowledgement Rob-
faithful in the discharge of the difficult
and delicate duties imposed upon him, does
well to commend the conduct of the troops,
which has reflected equal credit on them
selves. their officers and the State.
1t is gratifying to learn that. of the hun
dreds of men called into service in this
State for several weeks. only five, so far
as known, were discharged by their en-
ployers at home. The record of Indiana in
this respect, as in some others, is conspicu-
ously better than that of her neighboring
State of Illinois. where, under the vicious
teachings Of an anarchistic Governor, as
many as two hundred men in one regiment
are said to nave lost their positions on ac-
count of their militia service. He is a hard
employer. a bad citizen and altogether a
contemplate man who will discharge. an
employee for responding to the call of the
State to perform one of the highest duties
of citizenship. The Journal is not informed
as to the names or residence of the men
who thus lost their positions by reason of
service in the militia, but it hopes the law
abiding citizens of the communities where
they live will see to it that they get other
employment as soon as possible, and at
least as remunerative as that which they
had before. If there are a few men in In
diana mean and unpatriotic enough to dis
charge an employee under such circum-
stances. let it be shown that there is a
much larger number anxious to show their
sympathy with those who nave suffered in
their private interests by reason of their
loyalty to the State and to the cause of law
and order.

CATHOLICS AND THE LIQUOR

CAMPAIGNING IN THE OLD. WAY.

Leading Indiana Republicans in confer
ence express themselves as being in favor
of an "old-fashioned speaking campaign"
They have the right idea. The "still hunt
has its uses; the sending out of separate
documents is of some benefit, and the cir
culation of Republican newspapers is i'm
portant, but these methods of rousing
voters and disseminating information can
be carried on in connection with the other.
In fact, the newspaper feature of the cam
paign is an important adjunct to the ora
torical department. Wherever the people
are the best informed on public matters
there the greatest numbers turn out. to

that every voter should be supplied with a
good newspaper during the campaign, but
it is more essential that he should nave
had it during the entire interval between
the last election and the present. An edu-
cational campaign, to be properly effective,
must be continuous and not spasmodic.
But there is nc doubt that the people of
Indiana, whether holding firm and well-de-
fined ideas on pending political questions
themselves or not, will be anxious to hear
the leaders of the party talk on the issues.
There is an unrest growing out of the pres
ent unsettled business conditions, a Repub-
lican enthusiasm seeking an outlet. which
will be better satisfied by listening to the
opinions of those who have thought most
seriously on the problems than by learning
them through an indirect source. The In
diana public knows in a general way what
are the views of ex-President Harrison on
the vital political questions, but it will not
be the less eager to hear him express them
again and to listen to his clear exposition
of new phases of the controversy. 1t is
gratifying to know that he will take an
active part in the State campaign. Other
speakers will be equally ready to do their
part, and no difficulty will be. found in car

Petrifed Women to Order.

There were many people in this city who
viewed the petrified woman on exhibition
in a wagon at the courthouse square early
in the summer. The proprietor of the show
announced that the specimen had been UNI
earthed near Oakland, Cal. There were
some people who were disposed to think
the attraction was a fake, and among them
was John @. Cline. the attorney. After
looking through several works on geology
he failed to find anything which would
corroborate the statement of human bodies
being petrifed- Accordingly, he wrote a
letter to an attorney in Oakland. asking
for information on the subject, and received
the following reply:
