Some little time ago, in this column,

conditions, laws, and regulations in this
country and Continental Europe, in re-

ances A valuable addition to the litera-
ture of the subject has been contributed
by Lieut.. Col. Charles II. Luacomb, OF
the Thirteenth Regiment, n. G., n. Y, in
paper read by him before the National
Guard Convention at Albany, last month,
and entitled, "The Relationship of the
National Guard to the Civil Authorities
In Times of Riot
The paper is necessarily somewhat long,
Astounding in statutory citations and ex-
cerpts from the State military regulations.
1t aims to deduce real legal order from an
apparent chaos Of contradictory legislation
which seems TO confer final and discre-
tionary power, sometimes upon the COM
mander OF troops called out to suppress
disorder, and sometimes upon local peace
officers, such as sheriffs, ma yors and mag
istrates.
We can here only refer to few of the
authors very able and lucid propositions
and conclusions.

Summing up the rules on conduct for

dn New York on occasions of riot, tumult
or breaches OF the peace, or imminent
danger thereof, the essayist says:
The civil power is first charged with
maintaining order and preventing destruc-

failed or proved insufficient, the military
arm of the State government is resorted
to with all that the employment OF an
armed body Implies. This having been

application, we need not discuss them

his freedom of military action, or his judg-
