THE NECESSITY FOR MILITIA
ORGANIZATION.

The necessity for every state govern
ment to keep in touch with well or
ganized and efficient militia was demon
strated at New Orleans the other day
The police force Of the city was made
ouate to the suppression of mob VIC
| lence and but for the Louisiana militia
New Orleans would have been q prey
to the excuses of its worst population
or United States soldiers would have had
to be used for police purposes.
There is a change in conditions where
ever large bodies of laboring men are
engaged and that change must be recog-
nized by our legislatures and the militia
of the state kept at all times ready for
the field. There is no system of stand
ing armies equal to our system Of militia
organization of the respective states of
this Union. There is no danger from
such an organization, the men are called
from the ordinary business of life where
they are in full contact with public opin-
ion and animated alike with the private
citizen by public patriotism. No am
bilious military man can use the militia
to pervert our system of government to
clothe him with dictatorial powers, nor
are the men composing the state mill
tary merely n paid soldiery, subject to
the iron rule of military discipline all the
days of their lives, but they are patriotic
citizens, fully identified with every in
terest in maintaining the autonomy of
government; they are the best protec-
tors of the state and the property of it's
citizens at all times of extraordinary
danger, which are becoming more and
more frequent every year.
The militia has grown in importance
and dignity as its services have become
absolutely necessary for the preserva-
ton of peace and order, and it's thorough
organization and annual drill ought never
to be neglected The appropriation for
the support of the militia is the best
money the state ever pays out, or rather
it insures the best return to the state.
AS long as we know we have an eff
cient militia organization we feel GER
tain that we are able to cope with any
instruction or any mob; property we
feel to be secure and the peace and quiet
of the people of the state assured. We
should not begrudge the appropriations
necessary to provide for annual encamp-
ments of the militia of the state of
Texas.

lowing circular:

ISOLATION, our pastor and our citizens, in

ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FOR
FOREIGNERS, FORSOOTH.

This cry for additional protection of
foreigners to that of our own citizens ID
all the veriest bosh. Foreigners are at
forded exactly the same protection that IS
afforded our own citizens, and that is
sufficient. If, as was the case in Colorado,
foreigners undertake to break the laws
and murder innocent citizens they must
be tried by the state courts, whose laws
they have violated. The only difference
in this instance was that these foreigners
perpetrated murder so foul and coward
ly that the people of Colorado took the
punishment in their own hands, just as
they would have done if the murder had
been committed by the native born citi-
zens of that state That is the unfortun-
ate part about it, but if it turns out that
the Italians executed by mob were
guilty of the foul and cowardly murder
they were charged with, it is little be-
meath the dignity of the Italian govern
ment to make any fuss about it. That
being the case, the probability is that the
lynchers will not be punished. Men are
not punished in this country for falling
upon red-handed murderers and admins
tering dose of lead to them. 1t is very
wrong, it is true; the Italians ought to
have been arrested and regularly tried be
fore court with component jurisdiction,
but there are some crimes so dastardly
that it seems almost an irresistible inn
,;t tI Ia
the penalty swift and complete.

OLD PEOPLE.

Old people who require medicine to leg.
ulate the bowels and kidneys will find
the true remedy in Electric Bitters. This
medicine does not stimulate and contains
no whisky or other intoxicant, but acts
as tonic and Alternative. 1t acts mildly
on the stomach and bowels, adding
strength and giving tone to the organs,
thereby aiding nature in the performance
of the functions. Electric Bitters is an
excellent appetizer end aids digestion.
Old people find it just exactly what they
need: Price 90 cents per bottle at G..

PURE BLOOD.
DR.. Hartman's Lecture on Blood Impuri-
ties of Springtime-Cause, Pre-
vention and Cure.

DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand read
ers. One of the most timely and inter-
esting lectures he ever delivered was his
recent lecture on the blood impurities of
spring The doctor said in substance
that every spring the blood is loaded with
the effete accumulations of winter, de-
ranging the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the liver, overtaxing the kidneys,
interfering with the action of the bowels
and the proper circulation of the blood.
This condition of things produces what
is popularity known as spring fever, spring
malaria, nervous exhaustion, that tired
feeling, blood thickening and many other
names. Sometime the victim is bilious,
dyspeptic and constipated; sometimes he
is weak, nervous and depressed; and again
he may have eruptions, swelling and other
blood humOrs. Whichever it is, the
cause is the same-effete accumulations
in the blood.
Nothing is more certain within the
whole range of medical science than that
course of Pe-ru-na in early spring
time will perfectly and effectually pre-
vent or cure this almost universal affec-
ton. Everybody feels it in some de-
gree. A great majority are disturbed con-
siderably, while large per cent of the
human family are made very miserable
by this condition every spring. Pe-ru-na
will prevent it if taken in time. Pe-ru-na
will cure it if taken as directed Peru
ma is the ideal spring medicine of the
medical profession. Every one can now
get a copy of the illustrated book on
spring medicine published by the Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus. O.
Sent free.

Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.

Although Japan and China are both
silver countries, japan Mt least is very
much like all silver men, who will not
be astonished that japan demands that
China pay it's war indemnity of $780,
100000 in gold. That is the way with all
of them. You will find u silver man on
the street swearing by silver as good
honest money but the moment n debtor
comes to pay him a debt he takes the
back track and intimates to his creditor
that he had rather have gold, not that
silver is not as good as gold but he has
special use for that amount of gold. oh
hypocrisy, where is thy veil?
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-03-21

Mr.. Watterson, of the Courier, journal,
asserted that Mr.. Lincoln stood ready to
pay the South an indemnity of 100000
600 for its slaves if the Confederate ad-
ministration would consent to peace. The
editor Of the indianapolis Journal doubted
Mr.. Watterson's statement and that gem
tleman, producing the proofs from the
state papers of Mr.. Lincoln and also
from Nicolay and Hay, the editor of the
Indianapolis Journal, proceeds to back
down and admits that Watterson
was better informed on the subject than
he was. Highly probable.

A constitutional amendment giving wO-
men the right to vote has passed both
houses of the California legislature and
will be submitted to the vote of the peo-
pie of that state at the next general cleo
ton. The question of woman suffrage in
this country has come to stay, and the
probability is that it will stay until the
privilege is accorded women to vote in any
state in the Union. 1t has passed from
the domain of short haired women lee
and has taken possession of the most
earnest and philanthropic women in the
land That large class of noble workers
in behalf Of reform legislation has felt
itself handicapped in all efforts by not
being able to speak with the authority and
influence of voter. They know what a
power it would be in their hands for good
and for that unselfsh purpose they want
it, and they intend to have it. The point
of the wedge is deep in the old log Of
prejudice and they are driving it further
and further in with sledge hammer blows
the hammer however dressed with flowers
80 that the full force of the blow is moi
discovered. They have been treated too Ions
with the Indifference the legislator feels
towards on-combatant, and they Intend
ere long to enter the arena fully armed
with the right of suffrage and force theil
influence on the unwilling ear of the legis
lature. They are earnest and intelligent
and their whole object is for the good O.
their kind What can resist such a mora
force?

LONDON, Oct 25.-Mr. w. Z. Stead
has a long article III the Westminster
Gazette on "MonroeiSm' during the
course of which he says:
"Englishmen would do well not to
belittle the Significance of the ebullition
of American sentiment on the question
of Venezuelan frontier. 1t must be
taken with the usual discount, and is
no doubt due to the system by which
foreign affairs are discussed by bawlng
journalists rather than by suave diplo-
mats, but it IS serious nevertheless. Its
gravity consists in two facts, neither of
which have anything to do with the
merits of the question in dispute In
the first place. for the first time since
the civil war, the Americans have butt
navy of which they have some reason
to be proud, and which sooner or later
They VIII Use Against Somebody.
In the second place, it is usually sig
niticant that the American press assures
the United States that the Monroe doc
trine has been informally adopted as the
national faith by the American people.
and the dispatch sent to the New York
World (rettrrng to the reported
Bayard- Salisbury interview) probably
has basis of truth
Considering the disreputable charac-
ter of the Venezuelan government, it
seems extraordinary that any civilized
power should contemplate such crime
as trusting "a peaceable region under the

WHEAT FOR LAND.

A New Scheme Of the Canadian Pacific
Land Department.
WINNIPEG, Oct. 25.-The method of
taking wheat in payment for land,
adopted this fall by the Canadian Pa
cltic land department, is working salts
factorily, the company having received
thousands of dollars already Oh old con-
tracts, some of which it was thought
could never be realized on. The farm
ers have plenty of wheat this fall, and
it 8 ,ems to strika them that it Is more
profitable to pay their debts in kind than
in cash. The company pays the highest
market price at the point of delivery,
and ships the wheat to Fort William
for orage until it can be disposed of.
