EFFECT or MOssB ACE LEGISLATION
,tFrom the kansas City star.)

Tie niggartlly policy OF the Mis-
souri, legislature toward the state
militia has borne logical fruit in the
embarrassment Of the volunteers in
the third regiment. Two hundred
and fifty men who gave up their jobs
when war was declared have been
subsistlng since OH such prccarions
rationa as the officers or the rcgi-
ment have boem able to provide out
of their personal means. Not few
of these men have actually gone hun
CRY and have not cnjoped a dccently
comfortable lodging since they left
home.
The sum appropriated for the
National Guard Of Missouri bv the
last general assembly was $4,000 for
tw . years, to be divided among four
regiments. Anybody with common
Intelligence would know how INSULT
cient that amount would prove in
keeping up the citizen soldieTy. The
Third regiment would have been
compelled to disband long ago had it
received no aid or support other
than that Which the state gave it.
T.ie is true of the other militia reg
imcnts, although the usefulness of
the Missouri guard has been proven
Oil different occasions in times of
leacc.
The call to arms which the gov
ernment has issued has attracted
especial attention to the parsimon-
ious spirit Of the Legislature toward
the militia and under circumstances
which reflect little honor on the state
1t is the duty of the press to inform
the world that this cEeesparing
policy is not pleasing to those people
in Missouri who are jealous of its
reputation and who desire that the
advancement of the state, in all di-
rections, shall be commensurate with
its resousces. 1t is due to an ele-
ment that connot be made to under

The suspicion said to be emter-
tanned in government circles in the
United States and England that Portu-
gal has entered into a secret alliance
with Spain will undoubtedly turn
out to be incorrect. Though tn re
are geographical and chronological
ties binding Portugal to Spain, yet
there have been many wars between
them, and the former has no especial
love for the latter. Portugal still has
a vivid recollection of the days when,
during the regin of Phillip II. and
Phillip ILL.,, it was under the Spanish
yoke. Every race which has ever
had the misfortune to come under
the rule of Spain is sure to bear M
eternal hatred for that nation. The

That $4,OOO,OOO in gold which came
to New York from Europe Tuesday,
shows that the war has not shut out
any Of the good things of this world
from the United States. Moreover
the war is not likely at any time to
exclude the incoming stream Of gold
OF course tho current is bound to
turn in the other direction before
the year ends, as it would whether
war was OH or not, but the war itself
will have not the faintest influence in
turning it. Meanwhile, poor old
Spain is not getting any gold, and
