No institution of the government is
more justly entitled to consideration
than the army, for upon it we depend
for The maintaiuance of our national
ois niSy, ------>>---~--<---
institutions. When in time of trouble
we depend upon the army for protec-
tion and in time of peace we look to it
as the defender of our rights. Hence
we all owe certain respect to this
branch of the government. Not alone
to the regular army, but to the state
militia, of whom, in case of insurrec-
tfon or invasion, our regular army
would be composed. Therefore the
National guard is entitled to evidences
of respect from private citizens and
public officials, at least from the gov
ernor of the state who is commander
in-chief of the state troops; more in
fact than was shown them by the State
executive when he received the militia
at Camp Jackson last Saturday.
1t was expected when Governor
Lord visited the camp, he would at
least appear in uniform becoming his
station on such an occasion, instead Of
reviewing them as a private citizen.
General Beebe had made every possible
arrangement for receiving the gov
ernor with military honors. and it was
.aue both the officers and men that he
appear not as civilian, but as mill
tary officer on that occasion. Instead
the governor came onto the grounds
the same as he would go to country
fair, and did not even deign to address
the men or compliment them upon the
efficiency they displayed.
Such an act on the part of the gov
ernor of the state is not calculated to
encourage the militiamen or to
strengthen the efficiency of the guard.
Men and officers in the guard serve
without pay, except when called out in
annual camp or into active service, but
when called upon they respond readily
and without complaint. Were they to
at any time refuse to respond to the
call of the governor, he would be first
to condemn their insubordination,
therefore when it became his duty as
commander-in-chieft to review the state
forces, it was incumbent upon
him to appear as a military officer, and
show them the respect he expected in
return from them. While the annual
has been benefit to the
guard, the lack of respect shown the
troops by the governor had chilling |
effect, and will be fruitful of no good
results. /

The House Made Short Work of the Tariff
Bill No Debate Was Held.
WASHINGTON, July 8.-The house
committee on rules today presented a
special order sending the tariff bill to
conference as soon as it was received
from the senate. This will give but
20 minutes debate on each side. The

ment for time to debate the conference
report, but none was made. The re.
publicans offered one day, and. the
democrats asked for three or four days.
The house adopted the special order
by vote of 142 to LOT, and agreed to
motion to nonconcur on the
senate amendments, and agree to a
conference. The speaker appointed
the following conferees on the tariff
bill: Dingley, Payne, Dalzell, Hopkins,
Grosvenor, republicans; Bailey, Nc
Millin and Wheeler, democrats.

considerable damage to property. Ow-

roof was ripped off, TWO alters upset
and the officiating priest stunned. Then
it was discoYered that the building
was on fire, and the whole congrega-

Bscause the establishing Of Christ's
church in any city, state or country
is the strongest and most effective
measure of economy. Persouiied
selfishuess is the cause of hard times,
disorder and starvation, and self deny

true Christian nations and communi.
ties is the first cause OF prosperity and
happiness. Let the spirit Of Christ's

and that community will never be sub

dies, which have ever been prescribed
as cure for business depressions and
for human suffering, both general and
local, there is none which will remove
the evil as, promptly and quickly, as
thoroughly and absolutely, as per-

east of the Mississippi, and it is not
unknown between the Mississippi and

Eastern Oregon from any state East,
South, West or North, will therefore
be strongly inclined to settle in or

Alleged Personal Friendship
With the Judge

Attorney Hugh c. Grant was taught a
severe lesson yesterday by Judge Conlan.
He was de barred from practicing in future
in the Jud ge's court.
When the case of May Silver, charged
with vagrancy was called the Judge re-
ferred to articles in the morning papers
in which it was alleged that Grant had
visited the woman in the City Prison and
made Ger ain representations TO her, on
the strength of which she gave him 81 and
a gold ring. Later Captain Robinson, in
charge of the prison, compelled Grant to
return the ring.
The woman was sworn and in answer to
the Judge said: Attorney Grant came to
me and scared the life out of me by say
ing they were gong to put felony charge
against me. He said if l would give him
$40 he could get my sentence reduced TO
two months in the County Jail, as he was
personal friend of Judge Conlan and
lived two or three doors from him. gave
him 81, all the money l had, and my ring,
but got my ring back. l told him not to
appear in court for me, as l had my own

"It is too bad" said the Judge angrily,
"thai things of this kind can occur, and l
hone it will be taken cognizance of by the
Bar Association. | have known of mean

sonal friend, forsooth!'
Grant had been sent for, but he could
not be found. Just as The Judge concluded
his TRADE, Grant made his appearance. He
said he had just seen the articles In the
morning papers, and he denied that there
was any truth in them.
The Judge made The woman repeat the
story and Grant did not cross-question
her. He said he got the ring TO hold as
security for the $40 which a friend of the
womau's nameu Murphy promised to give
him.
The Judge cut him short and said
sternly: II think your action ano the
manner in which you have conducted
yourself in this case most unprincipled
and unscrupuious and | debar Won from

Grant, after uttering a feeble protest
left the court. The JuIge then sentenced
the woman to six months in the Comfy

SAN FRANCISCO DEFENSE
The Number Of Big Guns and
Officers and Men That Are
Needed.
Formidable Array That the Batteries
in Eight Fortresses Would
Make.

The matter of coast defense is one that
is at this time occupying a great deal of
the attention of the public, but there are
but few who realize the magnitude of the
coast defense intended
San francisco harbor is, in the opinion
OF military men, the second one of i'm
portance in the United States, and from a
carefully prepared article by Lieutenant
E. M. Weaver, Second United States Ar
tllery, recognized as an expert in the
matter of Notifications, it appears that TO
properly fortify San Francisco would re-
quire fourteen 16-inch guns, twenty 12-
inch guns, seventy -one 10-inch guns, five
S-inch guns, 12S l2-inch mortars, 1850 SUBJ
marine machines and twenty eight search :
lights. This is based on past ex Experience
in the matter of placing guns and on the
reports Of boards on Notifications.
For the proper maneuvering of all this,
the lieutenant estimated that the follow
