A RELIC OF ANTIQUITY.

| The early days of the Spanish war tional guard as a national force and clearly indicated the source of this weakness to be the vagueness of
 the relations between the national guard and the national government. This lesson should be needed and con
 gress should use it's constitutional
 power to remedy the trouble. Either
 the national guard should be made a
 really national force as entirely sub
 ject to the presidents orders, in clear ly specified emergencies, as the regular
 army, or it should be deprived of its
 misleading title, made solely a state force, never, under any circumstances.
 to be ordered for duty outside the boundaries of its own state, and never reckoned as a part of the armed strength of the nation. The national guard, under the present system, is a source of danger because it de1udes the nation with an appearance of strength where there is really no strength to be fully depended on.
 The constitutional militia exists only in theory The national guard has not succeeded to the place of the constitu- tional militia. Its status is indefinite. It is very doubtful whether the term
 militia" in the constitution applies to the national guard. Why should a few male citizens of military age, merely because they have enlisted in state military organizations, be spe- cialiy called upon to assume duties and responsibilities that equally belong, under the law, to all male citizens of age? Our whole militia sys- tenn is a relic of antiquity that to make it really valuable to the nation, needs a thorough overhauling.-Roch- ester Democrat and Chronicle.

GROUP REPRESENTATION.

It is manifest that an organic weak ness in the constitution of representa- tive democracy, by which it is betrayed almost hopelessly to self-seeking and demagogical politicians is found in the system of realizing the end for which it was designed. It mixes in one het- erogeneous constituency all the differ ences of will and opinion which pure accident of residence has neighbored within some given geographical boun- dary, and leaves them to scramble for single ''representative.' There are ID circumstances conceivable under htch true representation of the peo- = could be attained by that method.
 lnder the circumstances that act
 exist, as We have seen, its almost
 effect is to give q majority of -u resentation to the most self ls and urscrupulous minority in a- D,e body of the citizenship.

Photographing tho Baby.

young photographer, when asked
what sort Of subjects presented the
greatest difficulties to him, replied
without a moments hesitation, "Ba-
bies. 1 don't mean the babies them
Selves" he added. cit is not so hard
to get what 1 consider satisfactory
negatives of them. It's the relatives
that make all the trouble.
For instance" he continued, 81
took photographs of little ten-month-
old fellow the other day in six differ
ent positions. Yesterday I sent proofs
to his mother, and today she brought
them in
I'm sorry she said, without any
obvious grief, but none of these mega
tives will do
Not one Of the six?' I inquired,
though I was prepared for what was to
follow.
NO. she said, I'm afraid not. You
see, I like this one very well, though,
of course, it doesn't do the baby JUS
tice; but his aunt Ellen says it's an
absolute caricature of the dear little
fellow. The one she likes don't care
for at all, and his papa says he should
never know for whom it was intended;
it looks so cross, and baby is such a
sunshiny child.
The one he likes, this smiling one,
I shouldn't consider for moment, for
it makes baby's mouth look so much
larger than it really is.
His grandmother chose that one,
but as Cousin Fanny said, there's a
very queer look in the child's eyes in
livery queer! However, she likes
that one where he's almost crying, that
sober one. You ought to have heard
baby's grandfather when she said she
liked it.
He really decided the thing, for
what he said seemed so sensible. He
asked me why I didn't have some more
taken, and see if there wouldn't be at
least one that would look like baby.
Now, when can he sit again? It's
hard for me to spare the time, but you
see it is the only thing to be done."-.

Where He Fell Down.


He had faced ten thousand foemen in
the fray,
He had braved the widest terrors OF
the sea;
No danger ever made him turn away,
For never was a Drawer man than
he;
Where cannon doomed and blood in
rivers ran
His calmness of demeanor never
fled;
But he rose to make a speech, the
foolish man,
And in a trice completely lost his
head.
He never f1inched when face to face
with death,
The greatest danger never chilled
his heart
Or even made him draw a quicker
breath
A score Of times he played a herc's
part;
When called upon to face a deadly
breach
He rushed to act without a sign OF
dread;
But once he rose and tried to make
speech
And quickly and completely lost his
head.

Gnrcia's Big Heart.


Hundreds are the stories Cubans are
telling of Calixto Garcia, the Cuban
general, whose death occurred some
time ago in Washington. Men who
served under Gen. Garcia knew him to
be a strict disciplinarian. In fact,
there are those who have said he was
almost a martinez. So faithful was
he to his own duty that he was ready
at all times to sacrifice life itself for
his country. and he expected every
man who marched under the flag Of
Cuba to be faithful as himself.
But Gen. Garcia was never without
sympathy for his followers. There
never was a time when he would not
sacrifice himself for one of his men.
During the siege of Guaimiro, in De
cember, 1896, in which he captured six
teen forts in twelve days, one after an
other, he was accommodating one day
when young planter who had cast his
lot with the insurgent band was struck
by Spanish sharpshooter's bullet and
fell to the ground within a few feet of
the general. mortally wounded.
Garcia dropped his field glass and
fastened to the young fellows side.
he oPChOu IRE OIl Lie SpOl,
but, needless of the bullets, the general
raised the soldiers head and took from
him a message to his sweetheart at
home. Garcia stayed with the soldier
% the last and escaped unframed.
Weeks later, in another part of tn.
island, the message was delivered to a
dark-eyed girl, who waited in vain for
her lover.
Shortly before war was declared be-
tween the United States and Spain.
Garcia was sitting one day watching
soldier VINO was cooking the half.
dozen potatoes which were all the de-
pleted commissariat afforded for the
generals dinner. With wistful eyes
two soldiers stood a short distance
away, looking at the potatoes as they
were drawn from the Goals. Garcia
noticed the men and signaled for them
to approach
when did you last eat, JOSEF" he
asked the gauntest of the two.
'Last night, general
"And them"
"Half a potato, sir. I gave the other
half to Manuel, here
We'll" said Garcia, pointing to the
fire, take those potatoes and eat them
all. We have work to do tomorrow

That Man Otis.

That Man Otis.
81 have had some experience with
Gen. Otis" observed a wel1-known
club man to a Washington Star re-
porter, land I was not much surprised
when I saw that he read the riot act
| to the Filipinos and cleaned them out
Gen. Otis is one of the most careful
and conservative officials that l have
ever met. He makes UP his mind won
derfully slow, but when he does arrive
at a conclusion it. is for keeps, as the
FilipinoS have learned and may again
learn before he gets through with
them. He is never in hurry and is
the mildest hammered man that you
ever saw, but when he gets a-going,
he does not hunt out a stopping place,
preferring to keep on going. 1 had a
half-dozen opportunities of observing
that out in Omaha, where he was in
command for long time, and a rather
notable one in Savannah last winter.
Gen. Otis was the president OF the
court martial which tried Capt. o. NJ
Carter on charges of conspiracy, en-
bezzlement, defalcation and other
things too numerous to mention.
Among the many persons who were
called to testify was fellow who had
once been a clerk for Capt. Carter, but
who had afterward gone into the rail-
road business and then studied law
He had been the counsel for party
who had sued the government Tor some
land which had been taken in connec-
ton with the improvement OF the Sa-
vannah river, but the suit had been
compromised and Col. Barr, the judge
advocate of the court martial, wanted
% bring facts out so that some OF the
motives leading to the compromises
could be understood.
"The witness declined to answer the
questions put to him and became quite
saucy about it. Gen. Otis, as we'll as
the other members of the court martial,
knew that they could not legally com
pei an answer from an unwilling civil
ian witness, and, on his declining TO
answer, informed him that he would
be excused The fellow made no at
tempt to leave the witness chair, and
started out to give his ideas on pro-
fessional ethics and an explanation for
his refusal.
"He had told some of his friends
that he intended to have some fun out
of the court, but he had not got five
words out of his mouth when Gen.
Otis fell On him like a thousand OF
brick, saying: You are in contempt of
this court, sir, and until you purge
yourself of this contempt you have no
right here. Leave the chair immedi-
ately.' The witness saw that his mad
was up and he got out of the court
room in less time than it takes to say
it, forgetting all about his intention to
have some fun out of the court It
was the way the thing was said that
produced the sensation. The witness
will never forget it, nor will any of
those who heard it, and it still alarms
him when he is told that Gen. Otis is
about"
