M'ADOO ON TIE GUARD
Value Of Our Trained Militia
We Want Better Rifles
for Them.

While in Congress, Assistant Secretary
McAdoo of the Navy Department was
Chairman of the Committee on Militia.
In conversation with a newspaper cor
respondent on Saturday, he said
This talk of war with England, has
developed the value of the National
Guard. When the Civil War broke out
the militia of that day was found to be
almost useless as soldiers. Many econo-
mists have held the same of the guards
men of today. but they are proved wrong.
s.From all over the country comes the
news that, if wanted, trained troops are
ready to take the field. Pennsylvania,
New York and New Jersey alone could
send 10000 trained men at days notice.
But these troops are only the nucleus of
the army that would be. The three
battalion formation, which holds in the
National Guard. is simply q skeleton In
three States the 10000 men means so
many trained men ready to help the
volunteers. The number could quickly
be swelled to 100000, and there would be
enough of old men to leaven the lump al
most in a day.
Captain Daniel williams Of New Jersey,
who has long been connected with the
United States Ordnance Corps, said to
correspondent:
1.-THE troubles come not in securing sol
diers, but in arming them. The National
Guard all over the country is armed with
old Springfield rifles, q good enough gun,
but away behind the modern magazine
gun in use by the armies of Europe. The
Government has been almost criminally
economical in the matter Of small arms.

LONDON. Dec 90. 1Ss5-The Stock
Exchange market this morning opened
better all around. and there were nume--
Gus buying orders. Consols were strong
and. American railroad securities rose
to 2 points. on buying for the English

however American railroad securities
again became unsettled under selling,

American stocks is almost as pro-
nounced as ever. Consols have again re-
lapsed.
William Watson. who many persons
imagine will be appointed Poet Laureate
as Lord Tennysons successor, has pub

the United States in reference to the

The westminster Gazette" under the
caption, .sThank Goodness for the Holi-

opinions published by the press, which, z
it says, '.are breeding bad blood be-

THE NATURE OF LIBERTY.

Opportunity is one phase of liberty,
safety is another. THE safe man is the
only free man: and it is not enough not
to be in danger, one must not be in fear
of danger Want and the dread of want
are the same in moral effect; and when
tunity we must have it in tlhe form of
safety, or we have it not at all. If we
wish to keep liberty simply as oppor-
tunity. we Should lose it, for there is
nothing vital, nothing lasting in eppor-
tunity We can enjoy liberty only in
its ultimate form of safety, and we can
safe unless all the rest are safe, for the
Insecurity of others is the perpetual
menace of our own security. We must
somehow be equals in opportunity and
in safety, or we cannot be free.-Forun.

The horrible rape and murder
of two young ladies in a church, by
q medical student named Durant,
in San Francisco, is the topic of
interest over the entire coast just
now. The body of one of the girls
was carved with a common case
knife. The other girl was choked
to death and hidden in the belfry
of the church. Both were highly
respectable young ladies, members
of the church in which they were
killed. Durant was also member
of the church, which from testimony
given seems to have been no more
than an asignation house. Durant
is in Jail, and the evidence seems
to be conclusive against him. He
is cool, self-possessed young viii

will make q desperate legal fight
for his life, with chances of winning.

THE mint scandal is still creating
a good deal of discussion. Last
Saturday Johnny Jones, First Asst.
Meter and Refner of the mint was
arrested. He Immediately furnished
$25, 900 bonds, and his hearing will
begin next Tuesday. 1t is hard to
believe that John Jones is guilty of
the theft; still it is hard to under
stand how he can help know some
thing about it, holding the position
he did. From appearances it is evil
dent that some persons are trying
to squash the whole matter. Such a
thing, we hope, will not be tolerated.
The mint will probably be closed;
perhaps removed from Carson, and
the ones who are responsible for
such action should be sent to the
State Prison for life. A thieving
gang which will loot a U. S. mint,
ruin the name of a community, is
not fit to inhabit civilized country
and should be run out of the State.
And when it is found out who the
guilty parties really are, the public
wants to know it; we don't want
any guess work about it.
