pliances with the use of which each man or unit should be perfected. As result of the experiences of British army admin istration of the nineteenth century the lecturer can see no other way of fully meeting the proved drawback, owing to political conditions than by the establish, mont of a standing advisory military (nayy or army) board, which shall be as independent of parties and of the govern ment departments as is the 1udlclal bench, from which the crown and Parlia- ment shall receive reports and recommen- dations from qualified officers of the army and navy, who will live as 1T war was imminent and always just beyond the political horizon, and as if preparations for 1t were vital to the safety of the Elm pire.''
 On the subject of offensive defense the lecturer recognizes the necessity of being able to free the whole of the regular ac- tive army from the duty of home defense. but his general proposition goes a step further It is based on the necessity III modern warfare over a civilized. thiekly peopled country for the labor of two un- armed men for each combatant, these un- armed men to be organized as a defense works corps, and to be superintended or officered Gin the civil sense) by 5000 pro fessional and unoccupied gentlemen who themselves should be 'earmarked in time of peace. If the voluntary combat ants in the ranks of the militia. volun- teers and yeomany can be made up with in two months of the declaration of war to 100000. the men for defense works corps of a strength of 100000 would be available, and in support of this conten- ton some little testimony is given from the census of 1891. The chief point in this proposal is that the compulsion ap- plies to those who will not be combat ants, and that 1t will not dislocate in -dustry, because it will only have effect on those who have lost, or have no occupa- tion. Each male between 20 and 50 not on the rolls of the militia, volunteers or yeomanry. would be registered for obli- gatory non-combatant duties, for which he must report himself to the local au- thority if and when his employment fails.

Alabama's Plight.

From the Chattanooga News.
 The Alabama Legislature, which re- gently adjourned because it's time limit was up, has left disgraceful record. It is doubtful if any Legisla- ture in the history of Alabama equaled this one in point of prof1gacy. The Alabama newspapers generally agree that before the Legislature convenes again there will be a deficit of from $400,000 to $600,000 in the State Treas ury. Instead of directing it's attention to the. serious condition of the States finaces, the Legislature spent it's time in considering frivolous bills and ap- propriating public money to concerns that should not be fed from the State Treasury. Governor Sanford has been busy for week vetoing bills. He has just vetoed what was known as the white House bill. The bill appropri- ated $2500 to the White House Asso- citation, a private corporation, which has for it's object the care of Confed- crate relics. In vetoing the measure Governor Sanford said that he dis approved it on the ground that the bills creates private corporation, contributes public funds to it's support and the State in no way has any man. agement or control of it's affairs or any right to know how the funds are expended, but to take the taxes from an overtaxed people and turn over to a private corporation, in no way con nected with the State, for however meritorious an object is a departure from the objects of our State govern ment and makes a precedent I am unwilling to consent to-
 The special appropriation made for the expenses of the Legislature, which was $55,000, has been exhausted, and leaves a deficit of oyer $20O0 due to clerks and their assistants, who will now have to wait until the next ses- sion of the Legislature to meet the deficiency. Many of them, it is said, have been left without funds to pay their board bills. It has been ascer- tained that 600 more bills were intro duced in the Legislature than in. any previous one, and the special commit tee appointed to sit during the recess

sumption by the North Of 2,0J0,G0 bales
Mr.. Hester also gives the actual pro-

STEEL STRIKE PARADE.
But Trust Officials Go on Preparing to
Start Up the Mills.
(By the Associated Press.)


Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 2.-The big Labor
Day demonstration monopolized the atten-
tion of workmcn and strikers here and in
the surrounding towns but steel manufac-
turers went on making preparations for
the opening of the plants that are shut
down by the strike and increasing the
number of men at the mills already in
partial operation.
Public interest in the strike itself is
tagging as the contest seems to have
settled down to an issue of endurance.
Only the unusual incidents connected with
each days doings receive notice by those
not directly affected by the struggle Evil
dences of impatience are cropping out on
the side of the strikers and fears that
the unlawful acts participated in by the
strikers last night and today about the
Star Tin PLANT may ultiply and spread to
other quarters The officials of the Star
Plant claim that today the pickets about
their mill held up special delivery boy
from the postoffice with a letter for
the office while he was coming down 18th
street, and inspected the letter before he
was allowed to proceed
The matter will be reported to the
postoffce authorities at once. 1t is also
charged that the strikers stoned the COM
panys carriage on Pennsylvania Avenue
this morning but did no special damage
to the occupants. The aggressveness OF
the strikers was further demonstrated
late this afternoon when mob surround
ed William Jones, colored man. who
was mistaken for a non-uni0n man from
the Star Works He made narrow es-
cape from serious injury and possibly
death by the appearance of Police Lieu
tenant Crossan, who came to Ills rescue.
Before Crossan could secure additional aid
he was almost overwhelmed by the large
crowd that gathered The prompt arrival
of large force of officers probably saved
Jones from being lynched, as the mob
appeared desperate one and many de-
mands were made that he be strung up.
The failure of the Amalgamated people
to cripple the Carnegie open hearth
plant at Duquesne this morning, is looked
upon by the Steel officials as the death
blow to the strike, in the Carnegie mills
at least.
Last night the strike managers at Nc
keesport announced that a march would
be made this morning to Duuuesna and
predicted confidently that the men would
not go to work and the entire plant would
be tied up. This morning no pa?aders ap
peared, the men went to work, and the
plant is in operation as usual
1t IS more than probable that this
latest failure at Duquesne will have f6e
effect of making the strike mana gers
withdraw all efforts in that direction
