and low prices, at the big orchard
I mile northeast of town near

1t is uselese to talk about the reduction
OF State taxation as long as we elect ex-
travagant legislatures. We need general
assembly able and strong enough to do its
own thinking and voting, and when lob
bylst, either a meddlesome official or a
private CRATER, shows his brazen face inside
the halls of legislation, he should resolutey
be shown the door and asked to retire. and
do it in short order. If the tax payers are
to have relief, there must be no ''plowing
with cur heifer.''

sThe fundamental idea of the American

THE MILITIA.

Now comes grievance from the militia
of too much red tape and tom-foolery at
Baton Rouge, caused by courtmartials.
Several of these courts have been held to
try enlisted men for trivial attractions OF
the militia law and verdiets of guilty have
been returned. When it is understood that
such verdict carries with it, at times,
disfranchisement, it will be seen that the
enlisted man has much to lose and little to
gain as a soldier. There is danger of the
militia being severely crippled and in Sec
tions of the State the sentiment is strongly
against re- enlistment MansfeldJ journal.
Why abolish the farcial affair entirely,
and save the State the money uselessly
spent for its maintenance? There is call
for the abolition of all useless offices and
unnecessary expense. This may be in-
tended more for the voters ear than for
future official observance; but the people
can enforce it's observance by electing a
legislature pledged to adopt all necessary
measures of reform. If there is useless
expense to the State it is, in our opinion,
the militia and the salary paid the Adju.
