It is expected that the game at

The war in California between
the Southern Pacific railroad and
the citizens of the state. is being
waged to the knife. We. here IN
ArdmOre, blessed as we are by fair
and impartial usage by Our rail
red ,.::.d can scarcely appreciate the
bitterness that has been t1iSGihiil.-
ed by the selfish and corrupt man
agement of the gigantic monopoly
controlled by c. p. Huntington.
The extent of the damage done the
fair state of California, and in fact
the entire Pacific slope. by the
methods pursued by him, can
scarcely be estimated. There is
probably not in the history of our
country an example So striking.
where the accumulation OF great
wealth was used SO successfully to
multiply itself at the expense of
the great masses of the people.
Shortly before his death Abraham
Lincoln is credited with having
said that he saw greater perilS in
the future for his country than he
had ever seen during the war of
the rebellion; that the couctntla-
tion of the wealth of the cou ltrv
in the hands Of the few to the Diet
riment of the many would result
in far greater evils than the great
war had ever inflicted on us. Could
he have foreseen the state of Cali
fornia as it is today, he would have
found his prediction fully verified.

Supt. E. 3. Birge, of the police tele-

his ninth annual report. His report
shows the work performed in his
branch of the department, embracing
alterations, improvements and extern
sions in the police telegraph service;
the number of calls from patrol boxes +,
the number Of special calls, etc.
The report states that there are now 72111
miles of wire in the system, stretched
on 157 poles. There are 81 pa troll -call
boxes. 81 sentry boxes, 300 cells Of gray.
ity batteries, 10 cells of local batteries
for central and substationS, and 30 cells
of Edison telephone batteries for street

Supt. Birge recommends that the
sentry boxes be painted
and new locks put on; that Prior ave

the central station, making private
telephone communication Herewith,
and that each station be furnished with
an electric gong and door openers for
horse stalls. He further recommends
that the legislature be asked to make all
appropriation to defray the expense of
putting the police telegraph lines under
ground, the franchises of private cor
porations having wires in the city being
so drawn as to deprive the city OF access
to their conduits with its wires. de

CITIZEN SOLDIERY.
IDEA OF AN OFFICERS CLUB
FAVORABLY RECEIVED.
Efforts to Secure Proper Recog-
milton for the National
Guard.

The idea of forming an officers club.
originated by the GLOBE some time ago,
has met with favor with the officers of
the national guard stationed in st. Paul.
Most Of them realize that the field for
improvement is large, and that it is
highly BETTING, circumstances being as
they are, that the officers Of the guard
should use every effort to advance their
profession. There are thirty-four Off
GERS stationed in st. Paul. Fifteen are
of the line, five are field. thirteen are
attached to the staff and one is q gener--
al officer. These gentlemen never meet
as body, they have no opinions as
such, and as a result they have no
strength, and as body they have no
influence. If an officers commission is
worth anything to him he should be
willing to spend few dollars year to
maintain it in proper style, and most of
them now look on the matter in that
light. Capt. Lane. of the brigade staff,
is at the head of the matter, and is ably
assisted by Captains Hart, Murphy and
Lieut.. Lambert. A meeting will soon
be called. when arrangements will be
made to perfect permanent OrganiZa-
ton.
All the cities in the United States.
with the exception of st. Paul and Min
neapolis, have one or more decent
armories. These cities, although large
enough to support three or four battal-
| ions each, can only scrape up enough
military enthusiasm to build couple Of
! pine shacks and muster four companies
OF infantry and battery of artillery
Before the guard can be recognized as
| an important factor in the Twin Cities
there must be a change of senti-
ment; the citizens must be made
aware that they have ma,
tional guard with a rank and lille
that is uneXceled, and which will, with
a little aid and encouragement, be the
best organized body of its kind in
America. The guard itself, in its cleo
ton of officers, should give preference
/ to business men of high standing in the
community. who will not only advertise
| the organization in business and social
way, but help it financially. Every
member OF the guard has an equal in
terest in Its welfare. The recruit has as
much to say as the brigadier general.
| Let all take hold, then, and make evil
| dent to our citizens that they need US,
duushceu HS uduly euousH W Suppolt Us
in proper way.
No means should be neglected this
coming winter to have the legislature
revise the military code. The infantry
regiments should be organized on the
same plan as adopted by the regular
army. A gang Of useless staff officers
who draw big pay at camp for doing
nothing must be dropped, armOrieS
must be provided for, troops must be
properly equipped, and decent organ
iZation must be obtained.
