Governor Voorhees, order, as Conn
mander-in-Chief of Army and Navy OF
the state, for the reorganization of the
National Guard, Is out. 1t is in general
a colossal blunder, but in one particular
especially 80.
Concerning the wisdom Of the reorgan-
fzatlon details of the land force, there
may be some room for difference OF
opinion, but OF h stupidity OF the
changes made In the Battalion of the
East Naval Reserve there can be no
doubt whatever. They are as vicious as
they are idiotic and as idiotic as they
are trucuient.
So bad are these changes that there is
only one way Of explaining them They
give full renewed vitality to the belief
that the military men of he State are
very Jealous of the naval force and are
trying in every way to injure that branch
OF the service
The biunder which the Governor made
raj IN the appointment of his commits
sion to devise a plan for reorganization
He appointed three military men to re-
rganize not only the land but the sea
forces as well-three military men who
could mo- tell a backstay from a mar
lin spike to decide how a ship should be
manned and manoeuvred. 1t is not sur
prising that the results are disastrous
and scandalous in the highest degree.
It was generally admitted by the naval
men of the State that the Trenton d.
vision of the Reserve was unnecessary,
and that it would in nowise injure the
service to abolish it. So the commission
recommended it's di~sbandment. But then
In order to kinder even things up," they
recommended that one of the three d.
visions In the Battalion of the East be
wiped out, ana they, first Of all, select
ed the engineer division. TIL mere tact
that In this day of electricity, steam and
advanced engineering they should recon-
mend the adjustment of his division,
composed entirely Of skilled mechanics,
practical electricians and engineers plain
" shows that the Governors commission
knew nothing at all about the d
tions and needs of~the service they were
appointed to r~eorgarsze. Their piunoer
in this regard was SO flagrant that the
Governor saw matters in a different light
from them, and In his order issued yes
terday he saves the engineer division, but
founaering around in the mess of stupid
fty prepared for him by his officers, he
fall into an, error even worse than theirs
IN the consolidation of the Jersey City
division of the Reserve with the Newark
and Hoboken corps.
BY this process, Jersey City loses its
identity in the Naval Reserve, and as
Ii has always been the backbone Of the
battalion. furnishing a majority of the
men and a large majority Of the en-
4huslasm. the insult Is likely to be re-
scented BY a general withdrawal Of the
men from the service. But this IS not
iii. The Battalion Of the East, with its
three divisions, was organized as a ships
cmpan and was drilled to step aboard
any modern war vessel and mar her
throughout. Il was the only Naval Re-

RI. Outrage ON Edward Atkinson


When it is learned that the packages
OF Edward Atkinson's anti-Imperiahstic
PAMPHLETS. seized by the censorship OF
the Federal Czar in San Francisco, were
not directed to subordinate ofacers u
mer. of the rank and file of the army anu
navy in the Philippines, but to Generals
otis and Miller. Admiral Dewey and Com
m-issioners Schurman and Worcester 'he
sot,on of our National dictatorship de-
gansrates from the region of the despotic
to that of the ridiculous.
The pretext for the seizure OF tue
pamphlets was that they were calculates
"a excite mutiny among the troops
Mutiny among Dewey, Otis and Mliler'
What are we coming to?
A Washington despatch in this morn
ing's papers tells us that "the Admins
tration will mot permit Atkinson to pose
Is a martyr" For this reason he VIII
not be arrested and prosecuted for Sc
dition.
What beastly cowardice this is! What
revolutionary seoundrelism!
The Government high handedly con-
fiscates this mans publications, in out
rageous violation of the constitutional
privileges of the press, and then it re-
fuses-reary because it dares MOTTO
bring the issue into court, where it can
be tried before a jury by due process OF
law
How long will the people stand this?

maker, who has come out of the West, to

has, however, persuaded Jim Jefries to
come up from his training quarters on the
coast of Jersey, and give the theatre
goers of this city a chance to look him
over. Jeffries will appear at the Bon Ton
Theatre Saturday afternoon and evening
of this week, and spar three rounds at
each performance, with his sparring part
ner, DAILY. His entire retinue will come
with him, his manager, Delaney his
trainer, and his sparring partners. This
will be positively the very last time he
will appear in public previous to his fight
with Fitzsimmons, which takes place in a
few weeks. Jeffries is a young giant, and
has never been beaten, and Manager
Dinkins will give the sports in Jersey
City a chance to size him up, and see
whether he in their opinion is capable of
carrying any of their money. Seats for
Saturday afternoon and evening are now
