GENERAL ROE DEMANDS IMPROFEnENT.

The annual report of the major general COM
manding the National Guard of New-York con-
tans much valuable information, and shows
that General Roe is not blind to the defects
which exist il the State soldiery nor averse TO
making them known to the public. While he
praises the Guardsmen for attention to mill
tary duties he points TO the fact that in the
Jealous endeavor to advance TO higher work
attention to details is in too many organiza-
'tions not go particular and continuous as 1t
should be" Or. in other words, matters OF
detail have in many instances been allowed to
be slpshod to the detriment OF discipline.
WraDges and disputes among officers have
injured recruiting, and one Of the results has
been that the attendance at drills in one body
fell off until squads masqueraded companies
One organization had become so reduced in
numbers and conspicuous on account of its
internal troubles that its disarmament was seri-
ously discussed at Albany. But Influence
was brought to bear. and the regiment, with
brilliant future behind it, was allowed to
remain. The commanding officer undoubtedly
had similarly constituted body in mind when
he said that "it is due to the good organizations
that poor ones be dsbanded
General Roe stamps the officer as lacking in
proper instruction and in the primary principles
of military duty who airs his imaginary wrongs
in the public press. 1t is well known that he
has done much toward putting an end to this
abuse and he now calls upon the remaining
brigade commanders to eradicate the harmful
custom.
The candor with which these matters are dis
cussed will have a salutary effect upon the Ma
tional Guard If the warnings are not needed
no personal or political influence should stand
in the way Of eliminating the element which
casts dscredit upon the States soldiery.

CHASTTSING MACEDONIA.

Turkey, unlike the bird that bears its name,
takes no stock in Christmas as a religious and
social festival. and does not hang up its hose in
expectancy of gifts after the manner of the
western nations. But II gets one this year in
the shape of howl from Macedonia. oyerrun
with cutthroats and robbers Of home produc-
ton, demanding somc form of relief
The council of other countries think that
Turkey is the suitable instrument TO effect
pacifcation there. and are anxious 10 have her
tackle the job. which she seems not unwilling
to do She may find it as soft a Christmas
pudding as she found the whipping of Greece a
few years ago. Anyhow, the turbulent and dis
orderly Macedonian needs a sound thrashinG,
and If the Turk administers it it should count
to him for righteousness and bring him the re-
ward of the worlds appreciation, a guerdon he
does not often get or deserve.

About the Manufacturing and Advcr-
tiainR of Cigars.

Some people think that because cigar
is largely advertised. that 1t is done at the
expense OF the cigar and detracts from its
merits; but this is not true.
The large advertisers Of cigars work on
the same principle as other large adver-
tisers, they call the attention Of the pub
lie to their article, and 1t must have merit
or II does not hold them.
The cigar manufacturers who advertise
largely do a proportionately large business,
which enables them to sell at smaller
profit. They have greater facilities by
buying in enormous quantities, and secur-
ing the cream OF the tobacco crop
at the lowest prices. which is all for the
benefit Of the smoker.
The firm Of Hrschhorn Mack & Co. is
one OF the largest manufacturers In the
United States, and their Henry George
cigar is strictly hand made and wonderfully
good At FIVE cents, this cigar would be an
impossibility we're It not for the advantages
above named. Their Tom Moore cigar Is
also hand made, and OF specially selected
Havana fllers and Sumatra wrappers, from
their warehouses in Havana and Amster-
dam.
In buying direct, they save the middle
mans profit. and are able to give superior
goods at the lowest prices.

WILL HELP OMAHA J0BBERS
New Ownership of the Kansas City,
Fort scott & Memphis
Railroad.

Omaha jobbcrs and manufacturers are
congratulating themselves over the an
nouncement OF the purchase OF the Kansas
City, Fort Scott a. Memphis railroad by
the st. Louis & San Francisco company,
and predict that the change in ownership
will do much toward advancing the ma =
terial interests of this city.
The Memphis line has ever since its con-
struction been Kansas City corporation.
Regardless of the equities OF the various
cases which have come before the trans
missouri lines for consideration IL has
maintained a position which has sustained
the contention OF Kansas City shippers to
the detrment of other Missouri river cities.
This spirit was manifest In the contention
regarding the shipment Of packing house
products to southeastern points, and also
in regard to the shipment of sugar.
The Frisco line is a st. Louis corporation
and has always shown n spirit of frendli-
ness to all Missouri river points regardless
OF particular location. At times when all
OF the railroads in the trausmissouri coun-
try were practically united on a change in
rates which would destroy special privi-
leges enjoyed by the town at the mouth OF
the Kaw the refusal of the Memphis to
sanction the agreement has made It impos e.
sible for the other roads to adopt the
changed rates or classifications which would
put all Missouri river points on the same
basis. 1t Is now believed that existing con-
ditions may be so changed as to permit
Omaha to enter the southeastern trade on
the same basis as Kansas City and that the
trade OF the city will be correspondingly
increased.
