The Liability of the National
Guard.

The ques ton whether the militia or
National Guard of the several States iA
subject to call by the President in ca4e
of war is an interesting one just now,
when there is a probability that more
soldiers then are enlisted the regular
army may soon be needed There would
seem to be no doubt as to the law, but
as there has been no occasion for
generation for the general government
to call upon the militia there is wide.
spread ignorance upon the subject and
in some sections there is an impress
sion that miitiaman's liability in this
respect depends upon the terms of his
enlistment; that is, that if the laws of
his State, whose soldier he becomes
when he enisis, require him to go to
the front when the President calls him
he must go, otherwise not.
Major j. n. Morrison, the principal
assistant of the judge advocate general
of the army, has made a thorough study
of the laws bearing on the rights and
duties of the militia and is an authority
on the question stated. His opinion re-
Gently published is that the formalltes
of enlistment in the militia of the several
States have no bearing whatever on the
right of the President to order the men
into the United States service. He says ::
The states are legally bound in this
matter, not by their own statutes at all,
but by the federal constitution and the
statutes enacted by Congress pursuant
thereto. The Presidents power to call
the militia of the States into the service
of the United States is not implied from
the fact that the constitution gives him
authority over the militia when called
into the service. The power is ex
pressly given to him by federal statute
enacted pursuant to the provision of the
constitution that gives to Congress
power to provide for calling forth the
militia. Congress, when it came to ex-
ercise this power SO given it, selected
the President as the proper person and
expressly provides by statute that he
might call forth the militia of the States
into the service of the United States and
use them for the purposes mentioned in
the constitution, viz, ITO enforce the
laws of the United states, suppress in
surrection, and repel INVASION And
the States and the people of all the
States are bound by these laws and the
constitution, and must obey them with
out regard to what their state statutes
may be.
On the other hand the major says that
the militiaman has right to refuse to
leave the United States. 20 in the
present case it comes to this, that the
President may order the National Guard
of New Hampshire or any other State to
go anywhere in the country te repel the
Spaniards but that he cannot send them
to tuba or Spain.
This, however, is not likely to be very
important, for there w II be no lack of
volunteers to do whatever army duty is
necessary at home or abroad, and no
miitiaman who objects will be forced
into the service anyway.

The Brewers and Patriotism.

We have no doubt that Colonel John
A. Mccall was well within bounds in
assuring the President that the bankers
OF New York would supply most of the
money that the government may need
for the conduct of the war, if war shall
come but we are much surprised by the
conduct of the brewers of the country in
protesting in advance against an increase
of the tax on beer. which would greatly
augment the governments revenue, and,
to that extent, would be a valuable
contribution to a war fund. This increase
of tax is one that should be made,
whether there be war or not, and while
opposition to the increase might be ex,
pected from the brewers in time of peace
we had hoped that there were no people
in the country who would not willingly
do their part towards making the waging
of war by the government successful, il
war has to be waeed. and il is to be
hoped, for the credit of the nation, that
the example of the brewers will have no
imitators and that the brewers them
selves will think better of the matter

CLEVER CROOK Arrested.
ApRreIhended While Operating
Through Southern States.


Through Southern States.
New Orleans June 6.-Deputy Sheriff
Griffin made an arrest at Lake Village
Chicol County, Ark, just across the Lou
isiana line yesterday which has brought
10 light a series of clever burglaries per-
petrated by w. F. Watson and +. Davis,
two expert burglars OF Monroe, La. who
have been operating through north and
central Louisiana and southern Arkan-
sas with great success.
Watson was a skilled gun and locksmith
and was frequently sent for by country
merchants to fix their safes. After doing
the work he would turn over the combi-
nation TO his pal who would open the
safe.
During the past several months safe
burglaries have been numerous at Delhi,
Rayyille, Alexandria and other places.
Finally Charles Newman policeman Of
Monroe, noted that whenever a safe was
rified in any Of the neighboring towns,
Watson and Davis were absent from Mon
roe. He kept watch until the safe of J.
T Bryan. at Calhoun, La, was rified last
week and the circumstances incriminat-
ing Watson and Davis were so plain that
a warrant was sworn out against them
ana bOll are now Dti4iilu NLAc D&ES III
Monroe.
When the train containing Davis reach
ed the suburbs of Monroe a mob compos-
ing about seventy-iive men halted the
train and boarded il and secured Davis.
They put rope around the mans neck
and made bee line for the woods. Da-
Wis, after having protested his innocence
q while, proposed q compromise. He said
that he would confess the whole business
II they would only put him back in the
hands of the sheriff. They agreed and
Davis told the story Of the burglaries and
says tnat another man was in the deal
besides himself and Watson.
The name OF the third party is not made
public and the officers hope TO also effect
his arrest. Davis told where they had
buried all the contents Of Bryan's safe
consisting OF notes. drafts and United
States bonds. q little way out of Calhoun
Sheriff Johnson boarded the train with
Davis in the afternoon and dug up the
stolen papers.
The law will be allowed TO take il.
course and the burglars viii be sent Il
