with Assistant Superintendent McIn-
tyre In regard to the preparation of a
blacklist of all men discharged from
the Chicago and Grand Trunk on &C
count of active participation in the re-
cent strike. This list will be exchanged

Ducks and Geese.

Wild geese and wild ducks show
knowledge as to the resistance of the
atmosphere and sagacity in overcom-
ing it. When flocks OF them have
to 60 long distances, they form tri-
angle to cleave the air more easily,
and the most courageous bird takes
position at the forward angle. AS
this is very fatiguing post another
bird, ere long, takes the place Of the
exhausted leader. Thus they place
their available strength at the SER
vice Of the society.

vided into two great classes: first, the
active or organized militia and the
unorganized militia. The first is vari-
ously called the national guard, the
volunteer militia and the state guard
or State national guard. The organ
lied militia OF the United States Is a
little over 100000 men. while the I'M
organized Is over 100000.
The requirements for enlistment in
the organized militia may be stated as
only those male citizens between the
ages Of Is and 40, except certain ones
exempted by law. The exemptions
may be briefly stated as those serving
in the army and navy Of the United
States, those physically disqualified
and those belonging to religious de.
nominations having an article of faith
prohibiting the performance OF mill
tary duty. Persons are in some State
exempted by service In the late war or

Blown Up by Dynam mite.

Charles Cozier, of Michigan Centre,
owns and opera es threshing ma
chine. He reports to officers that
while engaged in work on the farm of
James Harris, near Brooklyn, the ma
chine was blown TO piece, by dyna-
mite. The barn was also badly wrecked,
and three of the hands engaged in
threshing slightly injured. The roof
of the barn was partly blown off, and
some pieces of the machine were blown
hundreds of feet from where the ex-
plosion occurred. Mr. Cozier can form
no opinion Ct who put the dynamite in
the thresher. Some think it the work
of tramrs ard others b lieve it was
done b. some one who had a grudge
against Mr.. Cozier.

The discipline and administration
conform as nearly as possible to that
of the United States army, as we'll as
the system of tactics and field exer-
cises. The great difference between
this system and that of foreign coun-
tries is that the services of Our soldiers
are voluntary, while in foreign countries
they are obligatory for certain num-
Der of years. There are now but two
countries where enlistments are wholly
voluntary, and these are England and
the United States. 1t will be seen by
the development of the national
guard during the last ten years that
the relation of the national guard to
the people is being more deeply studied
and the results more promptly acted
upon than ever before. 1t is the same
all over the United States equally;
each State is becoming more DESTROYS
of perfecting the training of it citizen
soldiery and awarding them more sup
port than at any time in our national
history.

whipping, bucking and gagging, tying
up by the thumbs and various other
methods of barba"ous torture. The
actual experience of the last thirty
years has demonstrate that discipline
can be maintained without the inhic-
ton of such punishments. The older
method was to drill the soldier into a
mechanical machine, caring little or
nothing about his individual intelli-
gence, but under more modern tact cs
and with improved firearms this
mechanical perfection is not so es-

This is our last issue before the
election. The Herald and Tribune
has not received one cent of campaign
money, and yet has done more to
maintain party harmony, organiza-
ton and success in the contests of
1894 than the party machinery has
done. If there is any failure to
reach high water mark next Tues
day let it be understood the respon-
sibility rests upon the campaign
managers and not upon us.
