TO RE0RGANlZE THE MILITIA
Generals Sewe1l, Spencer and WAN
ser Appointed a Special Commission

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News
TRENTON, March 4, 1S99.-Governor
Voorhees, has appointed Generals Sewell,
Spencer and Wanser to consider and re-
port a plan for the reorganizat ion of the
National Guard. 1t is expected that this
commission will make a report at an early
date, as the guard is to remain in its
present ~disorganized condition until such
report is made and acted upon.
The commission is said to be favorable
to a reorganization on the Regular Army
plan. which would probably result in the
consolidation of the six regiments, now
constituting the National Guard, into
three regiments.

Peculiar Views.

The Bakers Journal, of Brooklyn, N
Y, entertains most peculiar views con-
corning the interests of working men,
particularly printers. In an editorial In
late issue of that, generally, meri-
torious paper, it says, alluding to the
publication of Sunday newspapers in Lon
don:
I'VE may venture to say that the prime
reason for Sunday papers was greed
There has never been a want, neither in
London nor elsewhere, for newspapers on
Sundays before these papers themselves
had created it, and if they all would
be stopped today the world would be bet
ter for it. There are better ways to spend
Sunday than by gloating over SO
many unconnected gossips which, in SO
out of 100 cases, leave the mind as i'm
pressionless as 1t was before Sunday
newspapers are one of those commodi-
ties without which mankind would not be
poorer. The are entirely unnecessary
The same Is true from every newsr aper
which manages to exist only upon the
night work of those who produce If
Night work should, like Sunday work. he

out hurting real interests In society

as in the baking industry, is entirely

DANGER IN SODA.

Serious Results sometimes FOLLOW
It's Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place
and INDISPENSABLE In the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but 1t was
never intended as medicine, and people
who use 1t as such will some day regret
it.
We refer to the common use OF soda 10
relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
habit which thousands Of people practice
and one which is fraught with danger;
moreover the soda only gives temporary
relief and in the end the stomach trouble
gets worse and worse
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where 1t has ac-
cumulated in the intestines, causing death
by Inflammation or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as tho
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets
are large 20-grain loZenges, very pleasant
to taste and contain the natural acids,
peptones and digestive elements essen
tial to good digestion, and when taken
after meals they digest the food perfectly
and promptly before 1t has time to fer
ment, sour and poison the blood and
nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth states that he Invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and finds
them certain cure not only for sour
stomach. but by promptly digesting the
food they create flesh and strengthen the
action of the. heart and liver. They are
not cathartic, but intended only for
stomach diseases and weakness aud will
be found reliable in all stomach troubles
except dancer of the stomach. All drug
gists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
80 cents per package.

out of place, the same as Sunday work.
The commodities or superior luxuries, If
they are really such, derived from this
labor are as superfluous to the sound
taste of mankind as the fine drape-ies
which can only be produced by tiny chill
dren, because the fingers of grown per-
sons are too clumsy for the web. Labor
should enter Its protests against any ex.
tension of either night or Sunday work.
Both undermine the bodily, as well as the
mental health and vigor of the toiler. It's
introduction is in most cases nothing
more than an encroachment on the rights
of the workmen- The tourneymen bakers
In many cities tell a sad, sad story about
the ravages of night and Sunday work
upon their conditions"
1t Is difficult to understand the logic
by which the Bakers Journal reaches the
conclusion that Tabor should enter it's
protests against any extension of either
night Sunday work" Without night
work it would be impossible to continue
the publication of morning newspapers,
and the absence of Sunday newspapers
would seriously cut into the revenue Of
printers, pressmen, newsboys, and injure
many other classes of workingmen con-
tingent upon the publication of Sunday
journals. Especially does this come home
with force when one reflects that there
are trades unions in existence which alb
solutely refuse to initiate new members,
no matter how eligible they may be, un-
less there is positive assurance that there
Is job open to them. Why should the
editor of the Bakers Journal desire to
make less work for printers and others,
and thus stagnate the labor market IN
their particular lines of industry?
In the baking industry It is necessary to
employ night workers in order that the
consumers, the patrons of bakers, can
have fresh instead of state bread. What
can there be wrong about such night em-
ployment? 1t is, in fact, q work of neces-
1sity, almost as much so as the night work
Of physician. Modern conditions de-
mand morning and Sunday newspapers
and fresh bread. While that demand
exists there viii ever be men ready to
supply it, Why, then, seek to lessen the
already too small amount OF work at
hand for numberiess workers out of tobsg

Gov. Lind takes positive exception to
the statement OF, certain papers, especial
ly In their Washington correspondence.
to the effect that he was at outs with
the war department officials. The COVER
nor yesterday gave out the following
state:
The impression that seems to have
gained currency that there is misunder-
standing between this department and
the war department in regard to appoint
ments or promotions, is entirely unfound-
ed SO far as 1 am advised; except in
one particular. The Thirteenth regiment
Is entitled to three majors since the pro-
motion Of Gen. Reeve. Under the new
army law 1t is plainly entitled to three
majors the same as a regiment in the
this state.
Having satisfied myself on this point,
] appointed, Maj. Masterman to fill the
vacancy, and so advised the secretary of
war. Shortly afterwards Maj. Diggles died,
and 1 thereupon commissioned Capt. Rob-
inson. of Company c, of this city, to sue
coed Maj. Diggles. The war department
suggested that Masterman might now
succeed Diggins, but feeling confident that
the regiment was entitled to both majors
j made the promotions to fill the vacan-
ctes caused by their appointment and
wrote the secretary Of war, the letter ac-
companying.
1.-THE reason that Lieut.. Bunker was not
made captain of his company, is not be-
cause to any preferment that could give
him, not only by reason of his work and
fitness, but by reason of wounds and
disability incurred in the regular army
and not being advised when he might
be called from the regiment, 1 did not
think 1t proper to defer the recognition Of
other worthy officers because OF this I'M
certainty, nor did 1 feel justified in
changing his rank In the regiment under
the circumstances
The accompanying letter speaks for tt
self:
have this day. June 10, cabled Maj. Bean
as follows: Commissioned Masterman
major May rs; Robinson major May 20;
Lieuts. Conrad and Snow captains K and
G, Smethurst second lieutenant G, Hugo
Hanft E, battalion adjutant June 90
On May 26 a commission was issued to
Maj. Masterman, as you were advised
by letter and telegram of that date. On
May q 1 was advised of the death of
Maj. Diggies, and I thereupon appointed
Capt. Noyes G. Robinson, of Company c.,
not formally made out until the 18th The
other appointments referred to In the tel
egrams are made to fill the vacancies
caused by the promotions mentioned
In commissioning Maj. Masterman as
the third major of the regiment, l felt
that no mistake was made, either on
account Of his merit or under the law.
The law seems so plain to me that it
was capable Of but one construction. I
took the pains, however, not desiring to
rely wholly on my own Judgment, to
confer with Senator Davis, whose stand
ing at the bar and whose experience in
military matters and on the military
ment in a matter Of that kind 1t to the the
highest regard, and afer full investiga-
ton he told me, without hesitancy and
without doubt. that the regiment was
entitled to a third major.
have had no answer to my letter of
May 26 and feel confident that upon
fuller consideration, you will confirm the
action taken. John Lind,
Governor.
