MILITARY DEPARTMENT. MIcHIoAs,l


ADJUrANT GENERALS OFFICE, I
General Order No. l.


The obligation to serve in the companies Of
State troops is founded on a required enlist
ment and muster into service without regard to
rank, for the term prescribed by law. Conse-
quently, before persons can be properly in ser
vice in any company they must first be enlisted
and mustered as privates, and entered on the
rolls and recorded accordingly.


Particular attention is directed to this duty
and to careful and prompt transmittal OF
enlistment and muster-in rolls, through the
proper channel, as thereon directed, as none
will be recognized as in service unless these
papers are on file at the military headquarters
of the State.


Persons cannot be recognized as in service
after the expiration of the term for which
they enlisted and they should be regularly
discharged therefrom. But whether dis
charged or not they cease to be members Of
the State troops, and a re-enlistment and
muster are necessary to place them properly
in service.


All recommendations for discharge, excep
in cases of permanent Absence must be &C
companied by an application giving reasons
therefor, signed by the parties desiring to be
discharged.


company officer cannot be recognized as
in service by virtue Of a commission alone,
therefore on the expiration OF his term OF
enlistment re-enlistment as private is nee
essary.


The expiration of term Of enlistment does
not set aside the commission of a company
officer nor require new election before the
time for which he is elected expires, provided
his service is made continuous by an immedi-
| ate re-enlistment and muster az above
| The resignation or non-election of COM
| pany officer does not release him from his OBJ
| legation to serve out his term of service as an
enlisted man. but the period for which ne
| serves as an officer will be considered as part
of his term of enlistment.
The certificate OF election of company Of
fcer must set forth that such officer was elect
ed solely by members of the company who
have been duly mustered into the services OF
| the State.


The quorum provided for by the company
| constitution and bylaws, at least, must be
present at an election for company officers,
the vote of majority of which shall consti-
| tute election, such vote to be entered in de-
| tail in the certificate of election.
| No vacancy is made by resignation until it is
accepted by the Commander-ln-Chief and no
| election Of a commissioned officer is valid un
| til vacancy exists.
Commanders of companies in the manage
ment of the executive business of their respect
| i've companies herein referred to will conform
to this order, and will regulate the status of
their membership accordingly.
By order Of the Commander-in-Chief.

The Lapdon Times has some in
teresting reflections on the question
of food production in England, with
our improved machinery the farmers
of Minnesota will soon drive the oc-
cupants of the high priced lands of
England altogether out of t he business
of wheat-raising.


With the reserve that summer is
the real mistress of the year, and that
spring is but her handmade, all may
yet turn out we'll. Year by year we
depend more on our dairies, our
pastures and our green crops. and less
on the grain crops that used to De the
turning point of every private and
public calculation. England has ac-
cepted the position, once thought the
acme of folly, that she imports as
much whea; rs she grows at home,
and literally depends for half her
bread on the winds and the waves and
the uncertain elements of the political
atmosphere. Now for half a century
and more the plOw has been receding
from our towns. Rustics arriving
from vast plains or arabic lands,
whether alluvial or reclaimed down.
find themselves for a first time among
green fields and hedgerows as they
come within the sight of chimney
stacks. But the change of husbandry
has spread over the whole island


The milk-can now travels fifty and


even one hundred miles. and other
dairy produce comes as regularly as
the post from the Land send and
every corner of the sister island.
Every breakfast and every nursery is
now supplied with cheapness and
profusion which fifty years ago was
unknown except in gentlemen houses
and the better class of farms. What
people are used to they depend on.
and the dairy has become necessity
to the consumer, and therefore to
the producer. Eight years ago a
general ank long-continued drought
stopped the growth of the
grass. and. consequently. the yield


of milk. OF course. the cattle them
selves starved, and did not soon re.
cover their condition: the dairy
farmers could not pay their rent. and
the British public had to pay more
for less quantity of what to them
had been necessity of life. The
total loss was probably not le than
fifty millions sterling. happily falling
most on those who could manage to
bearit. With our present cultivation
of cereals. it is not likely that any
failures of our grain crops will ever

venience. Even if the yield be a
few millions under the average and
the quality inferior, the total loss will
be far short Of the sum we have
named as the measure Of 3 drought in

The Senate committee on finance oppose
the anti-resumption bill but recommend
four propositions which will, they think,
further resumption. The first of these is to
make legal-tender notes receivable after
July 1st for all dues, and payable for all ex-
cept interest on the public debt. The
second is to make these notes receivable
in payment for four per cent. bonds. The
third is to prohibit the cancellation of legal
tender notes and require tho Secretary to
reissue them. The fourth is to repeal that
section of the act Of 1875, known as the
eighty per cent clause. The Senate com.
mittee will do we'll to let the Secretary of the
Treasury alone. He is pursuing wise
course, and resumption will be an accom-.
plished fact in few months unless he is
interfered with. Congress seems to have a
mighty fear that our demand debt will be

A perfectly safe and reliable medi- cine of this characte is in great de- mand by females all over the country. Such q remedy is actually needed by both married and single ladies all over the land, and inattention to this sub ject is consigning thousands to untime- ly graves, and all physicians will tell you so. There is now before the pub lie perfectly safe and sure female reg ulator-one that restores and regulates all irregular action--cures chronic fe- male mplaints-adds iron to the blood-strengthens the system-cures the nervous and hysterical and imparts brightness to the eye, bloom to the cheek and health, beauty and yivacity to all. It is known as English Female Bitters and stands pre-eminent for the cure of all chronic female irregularities.

 So much is said about Bailcy's Saline Apericnt that 1t would not be amiss for us to explain to our readers what the article is. It is a pretty white salt, put up in bottles and sold at 50 cents. A small quantity thrown into a glass and little water poured on it, causes an effervescence similar to soda water. This is drank at once and is quite pleasant and cooling, while it acts free ly upon the bowels and kidneys. Its action is quite mild and effectual and is now extensively used for constipation, headache, acid stomach, heartburn, dyspepsia, billiousness, etc. Its cer- tainty of action, mildness and cheap ness have combined to give it q large sale throughout the country.

A wagon road from Banner to Lem
hi county would give the people of
that county direct communication with
the outside world, and hasten the de-
yelopment Of a large and rich mining
district. Quartz owners in that sec
tion arc obliged to have their rock car
ricd on pack animals to other sections
for crushing, as mills cannot be taken
IN; Banner, the nearest point, is six
ty-five miles from Yankee Fork and
one hundred and twenty miles from
Salmon City. A wagon road from
this place to Salmon City would pass
through good quartz country and
within short distance of the leading
districts, and machinery would be
shipped there, affording opportunities
for working ore that will not pay for
shipping and reduction. While the
officers of the army are looking out
the ronte for a road to the military
post to be established in Lemhi coun-
ty, their attention should be called to
this route. by which Boise City would
be only 249 miles from Salmon City.
The citizens of the isolated regions
north of us would, we think, respond
literally to help build the road. The
advantages that would accrue to us
by its early completion we think
would induce the citizens of this coun-
ty to lend some assistance in building
the road should the Government ask
it. The route is an easy ole over
which to build a road, which would
be completed at small cost; the en-
tire distance it would traverse a min
ing section that will yet lee recognized
as ono of the leading districts of the
coast. 1t would create travel through
Southern Idaho, our population would
increase, farmers would have a good
market for their produce, new indus
tries wonld spring up, and our condi-
ton be greatly improved. As this is
the nearest route over which the road
can be built, and at less cost than
over any other, we feel confident it
will be chosen if examined by the Of
ticers composing the expedition.

ers by copying short extract from
the WORLDS comments on the reasons
given by Governor Brayman for The
pardoning of the four Cinnamon con.
victed and sentenced to the peniten.
tlary for the murder of McGuinness
The editors of that paper copied our
call tor more substantial reasons, but
omitted our objections to those given,
which were substantially the same as
those published in the Statesman, al
though the two papers are published
thirty-six miles apart, and made their
appearance simultaneously. But we
never asked the expressions of the cit
izens Of this county, as the Statesman
did. When the murder was commit
ted we were on the ground before
McGuinness or any of the wounded
Cinnamon were removed, heard the
expressions of those present, and the
general drift of public opinion from
that time to the present. When Mr..
Brayman's reasons for pardoning the
Cinnamon were published, We thought
comment unnecessary, as we think
now. Our readers are competent to
judge such things, but as some busy
bodies were endeavoring to get the
impression rooted that we endorse all
we publish, our comments were for
the sole purpose of defining our posi-
tion on that letter, and nothing else;
and when the Salesman intimates that
the WORLD is edging in with il on all
its TRADES against our Governor, its
insinuations, as the people know, are
without foundation and for malicious
purpose. Because we may happen to
agree in one case is no reason why
we should agree in all Others. Our
position has not been altered in the
least. The attacks make on Mr. Bray
man during the winter we believe to
have been for a malicious purpose.
and the people believe it, and are not
slow in venting their opinions, which
are anything but complimentary to
old Kelly. They remember full well

used the latter as authority to make
il appear that tile former was a cor
rupt man. and then Joined in to have
him investigated b. a committee of
lawyers without any authority what
ever from the Supreme Court, for lead
ing the people to distrust the courts?
Did you not do all you dared, more
even than Brayman, to make people
believe that Chief Justice Hollister
was thief Do you pretend to pull
the wool over your readers eyes and
say such things are consistent? If
you recognize the intelligence of your
readers, and respect truth and justice,
you will answer these questions.
What your private opinions are we
have no means of knowing, but Judge
by your public acts. We are not in
favor of judging too hastily, and will
yet give to the public any good rea-
sons, if Governor Brayman has any,
for pardoning the murderers Of McGun-
ness.
