of the District of Columbia militia under
the laws providing for new arms and
equipments for the organized militia, cloth
ing and equpage valued at $545, .01, and
for which appropriations the quarter
masters department has been duly reim-
bursed.
''There were sold during the last fiscal
year by special authority of the Secretary
of War, under the law. to the governors of
the several states and territories, clothing
and equipage supplies to the value of $12.-
613.1S. including cost of packing prepara-
tory to shipment.
There were issued to the commanding
general Of the District of Columbia militia,
by direction of the Secretary of War, dur
ing the fiscal year, under the provisions of
law, and for which this Department. will
not be reimbursed, clothing and; equipage
to the value of SIS, S62.25
'1t is recommended that the clause in the
appropriation for transportation of the
army, authorizing transportation of sup
plies for the militia be amended to read,
of supplies to the militia furnished by
the War Department for the permanent
equipment thereof the change being the
addition of the words following the word
department This will throw the ex-
pense Of transportatfng such supplies as
fuel forage, commisSarieS, etc, on the
mliitla S appropriation, where IL Is belieVed
properly to belong, and as well serve as
check on the cost of them.
LAS the law now is militia officers may
buy this class of supplies from distance.
because they can be procured at lower
price than in the vicinity of their camps,
but the cost of transportation may, and
sometimes does, make them more expensive.
In doing this the demand upon the militia
appropria ton is reduced, while that on
army transportation is increased, not in
frequently at a net loss, because the sup
plies cost more delivered including trans
portatian, than they would If purehas ed
near the camps. In other words the militia
appropriation is economical at the expense
of the army transportation appropriation
If the entire cost were paid from the militia
appropriation. officers of the militia would
avoid this by considering the cost of trans
portation as well as the first cost Of sup
pIies''

A man was heard to remark OH the
street that he would as soon believe that
a man evoluted from a camel as to be-
lieve he sprang from a monkey. We
hadn't. The camel will work seven
days without drinking and a man
occasionally drinks seven days without
working. If one is to be judged by
habits, he might be led to believe that a
man sprang from goats. They are the
only animals that poster tobacco, both

WE notice that quite a number of
our Democratic exchanges are howl
ing considerably owe the fact that
their patrons do too much trading
with the big department stores Of
other cities. Take your medicine,
boys, that is free trade. 1t does
make a difference whose OK is gored.
The Democratic party advocates the
same doctrine for the nation, buy
where you can buy the cheapest, even
if it does keep the factories of Great
Britain, France and Germany busy,
while our own are idle. We tried it
in '93 to 90. Are you hankcring
after another dose2 We think a man
who had badly burned his finger in
the flame would be a veritable sim
plcton, not to put 1t any stronger,
to deliberately stick the same finger
again into the same flame. 1t is true
that the big department stores do not
pay taxes here, do not help make our
road or build our court houses. do
not help support our churches and So
c%ictics, contribute nothing toward the
support OF ~ schools. give nothing
to help our street and county fairs,
the burden Of these are on our own
citizens, and it is no wonder that the
department stores, avoiding all these
expenses, which fall SO heavily on
our home firms, should be able to
slightly undcrscll them. The money
sent to the big stores builds up enor-
nous trusts and monoplies at the ex-
pense of the home town, thereby de-
prcCiatlng the value OF both town and
country property. Ii it don't pay
our citizens to send their money to
Chicago because they can save a few
cents, then the cry, buy where YOU
can buy the cheapest" is a false cry
and is a loss to our people Of a dolIal
to every dime they save. DO you,
trading at home and thus keep you
money at home and help build W
your home town, county and state.

that hereafter the use of tobacco on

dents had become virtually incapac-
itated for mental and physical exer-
else by the excessive use of tobacco.
The boys will have the alternative of
quitting the weed or leaving the
school.
Cigarette smoking seems to be at
the bottom of the trouble. Although
the faculty anticipates some breaches
In the regulation, it is hoped by them
that the honor of the students will
assist in abating, if not entirely sup
