Musical Comedy's Decline.

There are so many entertainments. free
and other, to compete with the musical
comedy in these parlous times tina: Mr.
Seymour Rice's choice of the new styles
in women's dress as the most dange rous
rival seems case of rank bias. What of
the movies which entice away the gallery
gods, and the cabarets which seduce al
most every one else of the old audiences.
from the prudent rural visitor flirting with
The devil from balcony seat to those
abandoned, bald-headed old rotters IN the
font row? The cabaret, it is said even
interferes with the collection of chorus
material, since with less work and less in
itial outlay the young women find they
can earn better wages and more indi-
vidual recognition as cabaret performers.
Undoubtedly the cabaret is the chief vii
Ian in the tragedy Of the musical comedy
And yet Mr.. Rice would blame the pres

and the hgh-topped, fancy shoes ana the
brilliant stockings. for the public's lack

usefulness. A man occupying the ex-
allied position that he does in the de-

Without a vestige OF fact or proof to

CONGRESS.

The first United States Congress
under the constitution was convened
in the City Hall in New York, which
had been renovated and called FEEDER

4, 1889. Only eight senators and thir-
teen representatives appeared or the
day set for this suspicious event A
circular letter was dispatched to the
absentees, urging their prompt attend
ance, but 1t was not until the Both of
March that quorum of the House
was present. AT last able to proceed
its business, the first congress chose
Frederick A. Muhlenberg, Lutheran
minister Of Pennsylvania, of American
birth but German descent, as speaker
| of the House, and John Langdon, of
| New Hampshire, as president of the
Senate. Congress then counted the
votes cast for president and vice-presi.
dent, and announced that George
Washington had been chosen for the
former office and John Adams for the
latter. Washington then journeyed Ia
New York and was inaugurated
Members of Congress received Sc pei

selves an annual salary of $500. This
act aroused great opposition and many
members were defeated because of II

stituents.

WASHINGToN'S
NATIONAL GUARD PLAN.

Whether or not the National Guard
tive army reserve is still matter of
controversy. Inasmuch as the Cont
mental Army plan seems to have been
shelved for good, there is at present
no visible alternative. Congress plain.
ly contemplates the creation of land
forces consisting of a regular army
raised to about 100000 officers and
men, reinforced by n National Guard
raised from its present strength of
about 10000 to perhaps 100000.
There is no question that public
opinion prefers this method, If it is
practicable. The only objections Of
fered are of Il constitutional nature.
Opponents Of the plan have main
| tanned that there is no legal way of
giving the national government ade-
quate control of the state militia
Major General John F. Organ, COM
mandinf the National Guard of New
York, takes sharp issue with this view.
AS an authority he summons George
Washington. When Washington was
president he made a thorough study
of the militia provisions of the consti-
tuition, with which he was already
pretty familiar. AS result he and
| General Knox, his secretary Of war,
submitted to congress a plan for the
development Of the state militia into
a national army, somewhat along the
lines now contemplated.
In a message to congress, President
Washington declared that congress
plainly had the power to organize,
arm, equip, discipline and develop the
militia In such a manner as to render
1t capable Of meeting every military
exigency of the United States"
General Organ argues accordingly:
ut is within the power of congress
to prescribe not only the number oil
men in each company, and the number
of companies in regiment, but the
number Of officers IN each grade, theii
tenure OF office, their qualification, the
manner in which they shall be retired
or dismissed from the service. II II
within the power Of congress to pro
vide the physical and other standards
} for enllstments in the militia, and tc
fix the period of that enlistment. Once
congress exercises this power, all state
constitutions and state laws Inconsist
emit herewith become null and void
This last statement may sound ex
travagant. But General Organ refers
, to decisions of the United States su
J preme court in which, he declares, '1

EXCISE
LAWS.

LH"0s
The first efforts of the United
States government to subject the
liquor business to restrictive regula-
lions and to impose taxes aroused con-
siderable opposition, and from the
very inception OF the republic the
liquor problem has been source OF
strife and contention. The excise law
dealing with distilled liquors passed
just century and quarter, March
3, 1871, led to the first serious dis
turbance of this kind. The resistance
to the law centered in the four coun.
tries west of the Alleghanies in Penn
sylvanla, and brought about what is
called the "whlskey rebellion" These
countries were chiefly settled by
Scotch.Irisb Presbyterians. They con.
verted their rye crop into whiskey,
and disregarded the duties imposed on
their product. Officers were sent 10
enforce the law, and the people armed
themselves and resisted the local mill
tia joining the rebels. The insurgent
spirit spread into neighborlng countiea
in Virginia, now West Virginia, and
General Washington, becoming alarm
ed, dispatched an army OF $4,000 mer
under General Harry Lee. Before the
troops reached the scene, however
terms Of submission were arranged
