How Early Washington Got Rid
of Undesirable System.
0LD-TIME MILITIA MUSTERS
People Managed Parade Of Most
Fantastic Features.
BURLESQUE OF THE MILITARY
Scheme Which Was Encouraged by
the Press Was Forerunner
Of Reform.

The younger people Of Washington when
they hear reference made to fantastic
parades'' having taken place in Washing
ton, as they do semi evince
considerable interest, yet few know what
the term means.
A small parade of thirty OF forty men
ludicrously attired took place March 4, 1853,
at the time of President Pierce's Inaugural
ton. the object being to ridicule one of the
local military companies which was in line.
But a small number of people saw the bur-
lesquers, for as soon as they marched from
an alley to the avenue they were hustled
off.
The great fantastical demonstration, how
ever, occurred many years before, and but
few who witnessed it are now living. This
was for a more serious purpose-in short,
to accomplish the improvement or abolition
of the militia system.
One who was a boy of fifteen at that
time says: I'VE had a very different sys-
TEN in old times than that now represented
by the National Guard. Then all white
males between eighteen and forty-five years
of age were subject to enrolment in the
militia and I well remember the training
days musters and the scenes on the
Mall. There were four or five musters
each year.
There was little or no military knowl-
edge impaired, and after hours spent in
idleness the men would be dismissed. The
occasions were noted for the inf1iction of
fines and other penalties upon absentees.
1t seemed to me that the only benefit to
the public was financial, in the accumula-
ton of fines, and the men either lost time
and wages in attending the so-called drills
or money in fines if they did not.
I'm the early part of 1885, said the old
resident, 1.-The militia musters, or rather
the manner in which they were conducted,
became the chief topic of discussion, and
the consensus of opinion was that the sys-
tenn should be improved or abolished. re-
member that some favored a general refusal
to report for militia duty, and at the same
time give aid and encouragement to uni
formed companies
1t will be seen from what he had culled
from the papers that there were many,
including some of our leading citizens, who
were interested in securing relief

Report Of the Meeting.

Report OF the meeting.
/ found call for a meeting at the city
hall to be held on May %, 1885. and in the
Intelligencer Of June 3 the report of that
meeting, as follows:
THE meeting was organized by appoint
ing Mr.. Nathan Edmonston president and

ject. Mr.. MacDuell offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That committee of three be
appointed to draft resolutions expressing.
the sense of this meeting in regard to the
present militia SYSTEM which was after
Mr. Rhodes then offered the following
preamble and resolution:
Whereas, in the opinion of this meeting,
the militia system, as carried out in this
place. Is not only a complete burlesque, in
all its bearings, but system of oppression
and tyranny and a subversion of the origi-
nal intention of the militia law and moral
ity; 1t not only robS the honest mechanic
of the means of supporting his family, but
holds out inducements to others to squan-
der the pittance they may have in encour-
aging all kinds Of dissipation; be it there
fore
Resolved, That we, the private members
Of the several companies of militia within
the county Of Washington, composing this
meeting will hereafter neither sell to or
countenance or hold communication direct
ly or Indirectly with any at present hold
ing commission or warrant or in any
other manner command, in the District of
Columbia. And that publishers of papers
within the District be respectfully request
ed to give the above insertion and
Resolved further, That in case Of war
We are all Americans and all militiamen.'

Order for the Parade

Order for the Parade.
Some communications favoring the anti
militia sentiment were published in the Sun
and Mirror, as also the order for the pa
rade, as follows:
WASHINGTON. June 20, 1885.
Il major general commander-in chief Of
the AntiMilitia Corps, do, by virtue of my
commission, hereby publish and request of All
honest, sober and patriotic anti-militia men
of the District of Columbia, that they as
semble at the City Hall, completely equip
ped according to their fancy, then and
there to receive further orders from their
commanding officer touching the proceed
ings of the day. All who feel disposed to
volunteer under that banner Chat OF anti
monopolists and for freemen's right will
do well to Join their fellow-citizens in a
fantastical parade, as great benefit may
arise from our short campaign in as much
as 1t may tend to the overthrow of the sys-
tenn mot military tactics), which Is revolt
Ing to freemen, and in every way unworthy
of the protectors of liberty and good gov
eminent.
II, therefore. earnestly invite all persons
who feel so disposed, to join in fantasia
cal parade, at the time and place aforesaid
agreeably to notice duly published in the
Mirror and Sun papers. 1t Is hoped that
those who join in the parade will be on foot
except the regularly appointed field officers.
All rioting, dissipation and profane lam
guage is strictly forbidden

Next came the militia hospital an old
fashioned crazy carriage, in which was
seated an old Black man in a mask, for an
invalid, with wooden figure. curiously ap-
parelel and standing upright behind the
carriage for a footman. This travelling hos
pital was a new idea in fantastical parad-
ing, and excited great attention and uni
VerSal laughter.
Next came the artillery .(part of the
Cygen's old boiler drawn by several lads
in fantastical uniform. Our eye next caught
the adjutant general He appeared to be
too we'll dressed and mounted for fancy
parade. He wore a fantastical cheapeau de
bias and looked quite la miiitaire A
broom divided In two parts formed his epau-
lettes.
..It would be entirely impossible for US
to describe all that we saw and consider
well worth describing. There were no less
than five banners, all bearing appropriate
notices.
1.-THE navy yard banner was the most con-
spicuous On one side was represented a
jail with the marshal leading off the fan
tasticals and saying: Come, boys. and pay
your fines There was another large BAN
ner presented by a lady inscribed: Kings
and tyrants must submit to Freeman
The privates of the several companies
seemed to have We'd with each other in
fantastically arranging their uniforms and
decorations. The strong company from the
navy yard appeared to the most advantage
and certainly Afforded most diversion.
I'VE noticed one grotesque figure having
label on his back: Ny voice is still for
war; Some had saws, levels, planes
squares and compasses, scales Of Justice
cut -out of paper and pasted on their
dresses. One man who had the scales and
anchor on his dress had this motto: Whilst
1 have the anchor of hope I viii weigh out
justice to every man. Some had punches
of Scotch behring's for tasseIs, others large
behring's for plumes.
