Henderson of Iowa has made an inter- esting report to the House from the committee ©n militia in favor of his bill for the promotion of the efficiency of the militia) The report says: ‘Every nation maintains some form of militia as a reserve to its standing army and the smaller the standing army the greater the necessity that the militia be thoroughly organ- ized and efficiently trained, Under our form of government the militia has two distinct functions. For the states separately it is their reserve police force for the preservation of order, the support of civil authority and the enforcement of law; for the states collectivel; it was intended by the Constitution to be a mil- itary force trained to be a reserve or support to the regular army in sudden emergencies and a school of instruction in which the youth of the country should receive a sufiicient amount of military instruction to enable the country to raise efficient volunteer armies when needed. These two distinct objects of the militia are skillfully provided for m the Constitation, which delegates to Congress the ower ‘to provide for organizing, arming and isciplining the militia’ and reserves to the tates the appointment of the officers and the thority to train the militia, but this latter | reservation is carefully limited by the proviso that they shall train them ‘according to the disciplme prescribed by Congress.’ bes he wisdom of the men who founded our government and the necessity of carrying out their theories by maintaining an efficient militia is clearly demonstrated by the condi- tion of our country today. Rich, prosperous, devoted to agriculture, manufactures and com- merce, we apparently have no danger threat- ening But in case of threatened danger, foreign or domestic, the small body of regular troops we could summon to our defense would be wholly inadequate and the mass of patriotic citizens that might volunteer for defense would simply become victims of ignorant zeal, and their lives and treasure be wasted. It is wise, and it is necessary to the future security of our country, that we maintain such an efficient militia force that it will be counted asa ma- terial element in our means of national defense and thereby secure us against attack, THE PRESENT MILITIA Law. “The present militia law was enacted in 1792, and since its original enactment no material change has been made in it, In some of ite details it is the most onerous militia law in the world, and would create consternation among the people if attempted to be enforced. It requires compulsory military duty from every citizen between eighteen and forty- five years of age, and that he shall be ‘constantly provided with a good rifle, a quar- ter of a pound of powder, aud keep in band twenty balls.’ The provisions of the law have become obsolete and impracticable, and for many years there has been no pretonse of re- arding them or attempting to enforce them. Se teet ths Inw was found ode impracticable Within a year after its enactment, and Wash- ington and every succeeding President un- ceusingly urged Congress to remedy its defects; but in the multiplicity of plans suggested for amending the law to carry out the purposes of the Constitution no amendments were effected, “During the many years devoted to consider- ing a remedy for the defects of the law the militia system created by it gradually ceased to be regarded, until final y it no longer exists except on the statute book. Time, and the rapid growth of the country, solved all the questions that were involved, and a volunteer militia [ems f took the place of the enrolled militia provided for by law. Fostered and en- couraged by the respective states the volunteer system gradually extended, and the states amended their laws to adapt them to it, until today it isthe accepted substitute for the en- rolled militia and the compulsory military duty provided for by the United States law, and is an acknowledged and important factor in the economy of national defense, ‘THE PROPOSED MILITIA LAW. “The proposed militia law, reported by the committee, is primarily to recognize the existing condition of the militia of the country and to conform the general law to the changes already made by the respective states under the pressure of necessity and common sense. ‘The purposes and provisions of the bill may be classified into three distinct propositions: “First. To repeal or amend all provisions of the law of 1792 that have become obsolete and substitute provisions recognizing the existing condition of the militia and the laws of the respective states, “Second. To increase the annual appropria- tion for furnishing the states with arms and equipments for the militia from $400,000 to 000, “Third. To provide for annually bringin, under instruction for thirty days a limited at select portion of the militia, as volunteers, in connection with the regular army.” THE ANNUAL ASSEMBLY. In reference to the third purpose of the bill named the report says: “It is simply proposed to authorize the raising of @ small number of volunteers for a short time each year for the purposes of military instruction, and to make their instruction effective it limits such volun- teers to members of the active militia. Only the select few who possess special enthusiasm or adaptability would volunteer, and they would receive instruction that they would dis- Seminate through the whole body of the active militia and which would be of incalculable benefit to it. If the object of these sections is concurred in there should be no objection to their enactment, inasmuch as they make no appropriation of money, but leave it wholly in the control of Congress to provide from yeur to year for none or such number of volunteers as it may deem advisable.” THE POPE ON LABOR, He Has Given the Berlin Conference His Moral Support. I have the authority, says the Rome corres- pondent of the New York Herald, of the vatican to announce that the pope would consent to actas a mediator through which the simulta- neous disarmament of all European nations might be brought abont. The question was put directly by the correspondent and the an- swer was equally direct. Leo has taken a bold stand. He bolds that the existence of immense armies, which are draining the health of Eu- rope and inflicting great suffering apon the toiling masses, is anti-Christian, ‘The German emperor wrote an autograph letter inviting the pope to send an ambassador to the Berlin labor conference, In reply the pope sent an autograph letter saying he could not participate unless his representative was given precedence over all delegates. Then the emperor wrote another letter, urging the Pope in the interests of mankind to take part in the conference so far as he could and at least give it bis moral support, To this the pontiff has warmly responded and Iam authorized to an- nounce that the pope has written a document dealing with the entire problem raised at Ber- lin. This bas been diplomatically communi- cated to the papal nuncio in Germany and will be laid before the international conference. ‘There is no doubt that a great national move- ment is on foot to give the pope a leading part in an effort to deal with universal labor trou- bles. His holiness recognizes this as a great opportunity for the church to put itself at the head of the world-wide reform demanded by organized Iabor. He holds that the nations } must adopt the principles of Christianity and that the church is the only power competent to meet the issues involved in the social and in- dustrial movement. he German emperor has frankly admitted that governments cannot accomplish much un- less organized Christianity comes to their aid. In this crisis the pope has spoken in no uncer- tain voice, as will be seen when his addres is made public. It is admitted thatif millions of armed men, who trample upon the bread trays of the poor, were meipped of their uni- forms and set to work creating wealth a great deal of the present distress in Europe would disappear. . One nation dare not begin to disarm before another and the pope is now ina position to negotiate between nations for dis armament, Up to the present time the Vatican has managed to keep its negotiations with the bassadors a secret. German am! bd ae MEN AND THEIR CALLINGS, An Interesting Paper Read Before the Anthropological Society. Three papers of considerable interest were read before the anthropological society at its one hundered and sixty-third regular meeting last evening in the assembly hall of the Comos club, The first was by Mr. Henry L. Reynolds of the bureau of ethnology, whose topic was the “‘Siouan migrations, archwologically con- sidered.” He gave some very interesting facts concerning the mound building of some of the tribes of the Dakota region and showed by means of a map their successive movements up the Missouri river. ‘MEN AXD THEIR CALLINGS, Dr. L. R. Klemm then read his paper in an- swer to the question, “Has every one a natural calling?” It is not rare, he said, to hear peopic say of a man that he has “missed his calling,” by which is meant that he has natural faculties that endow him for greater success in some other line of work. ere ig a presumption in this that aman hasa special fitness for some one calling, which is the term most generally used to denote one’s mode of gaining a liveli- hi When one basa calling there is credit iven for qualifications for the occupation, an © question is; whether or not there is some natural combination of qualities that pre- destines s man to his calling. The German Says that there is such a law. Many fail to discover what that calling is or how to pursue it successfully, It is said that Bismarck once remarked that journalists were an example of men who had missed their calling. The Ameri- can, on the other hand, contends that the idea of predestination is not applicable to the mat- ter of occupations and te to the records of many self-made men as proofe of Leoel pertornnd The German idea is balanced against the Amer- ican idea, CHANGES IN GERMANY. The speaker went into the causes that have Produced this state of affairs in the father- land, going back over a period of eight hun- dred years to show the development of the pene system, the growth of the powers of those odies in keeping down competitive trade and the limitin, number of workers and trades- men, the choking of the cities and towns by means of walls and ramparts, so that the com- munities had no chance to grow-and thus to give rise to increased demands, the triumphal march of Napoleon, whom he characterized a8 “the restless little man,” through Germany, leaving his path marked by demol- ished walls and absorbed principalities, barging in time in_ the Lert out of the civilization into its natural shape an size. But with the training of eight hundred years the idea still remained implanted in the minds of the population that the accident of birth decided not only the matter of rank and nationality but also that of a man’s calling for life, Here all is opposed to that. There current in the American civilization of purely American thought that has caused the idea of predestination to die out. Over there it was the custom of the father to build up his trade or business to be continued by his son, without any thought that the latter might want to do something else, and the limit of the guild upon the free establishment of trades rendered it ab- solutely necessary for the son to do what his father done or starve, AMERICA HAS NO WALLS. America started at the point at which Ger- many isnow just beginning. Two hundred years ago this country was begun, with notown walle, no guilds, no principalities, no lurking hostile neighbors, and an idea tending to r- fectly free competition, which has resulted in ‘s land of the most perfect liberty, All trades and industries are open and free and there is nothing to hinder the boy from following his bent in selecting his life work. It used to be the way for every farmer boy to learn a little of everything that was done around the farm, so that in time he became a sort of ‘Jack-at- all-trades.” This was an effect of the causes that have made it possible now for any one to a the calling for which he feels he is best tted. There is about the American people a strong tendency to roam, a lack of disposition to settle down, an inclination to go about in search of new and better Inck, that is totally different from the condition of things in Ger- many. Here it takes one six months to walk from one edge of the country to the other, while there are some German principalities scross which one can walk in half a day. BENEFICIAL FREEDOM. The freedom of the country is probably beneficial, as liberty always has within itself a regulator thatadjusts things, The natural law of the survival of the fittest may be cruel, but it is very effective. Men are born with certain individual and personal traits that distinguish them from one another. Thereare never exact duplicates, one man of another, although there may be resemblances. No two men can be exactly alike in faculties, qualities, tendencies or accomplishments, and therefore it is impos- sible for two men to feel, think and act in the seme manner. This all tends to show that every man has his own natural calling; that every person must be specially well fitted to perform one kind of work better than another. ‘At the close of Dr. Klemm's paper a member madea short plea for the old system, which, he said, tends to produce races of tradesmen who are wonderfully well qualified in their own | peered callings, such as the lace makers of ‘rance and the glass blowers of Bohemia, Dr. W. J. Hoffmann read a Pi r on the mythology of the Menomini Indians, which was fullof interesting stories of that tribe, told in a style somewhat resembling the tales of Uncle Remus, without the dialect, Bosdomno-adioas MAYOR GRANT MAY BE INDICTED. The Revelations in the Sheriff's Office in New York are Crowding Him. New York Letter to the Philadelphia Press, Tam advised tonight by those who know best about these proceedings that these indictments are simply the beginning. There are revela- tions to come which will even more strikingly illustrate what a sink of iniquity and den of corruption the sheriff's office has been. It is not at ail unlikely that asa result of them the mayor himself will be compelled to stand be- fore the bar of the court to piead to an indict- ment for felony on testimony given by men whose reputation in the community is such that their word, unsupported by oath, would be re- ceived unquestioned. For the great law firms of the city, which have been patient for many years under the system of extortion and brib- ery which has prevailed in the sheriff's office, now see an opportunity to combine in general assault. I understand that a dozen or more of Jaw firms have offered to give evidence of cases of extortion and compulsory bribery which have come under their individual notice and eeeee they will be unwilling parties on one side, Already three firms have done this. The late agent of the Cunard line, Mr. Charles G. Francklyn, has testified that in one suit in which he was defendant he was obliged to pay $750, or at the rate of $100 day, to one of Mayor Grant's under-sh ils, and he made this arrangement through his counsel, they be- ing compelied to do it by the threats or extor- tionate demands of this sheriff. In two other lesser cases counsel have given information to the same effect, and now there is in the posses- sion of those who are directing the investiga- tion of the grand jury, as well as of the counsel for the senate investigating committee, a great pile of affidavits and memorands furnished by some of the most reputable law firms in the city, narrating their experiences with the sheriff's office, It looks today as though almost every officer, from the head down, connected with that de- partment within the last three years is liable ne brought betore the courts on a charge of felony. ——+e7+-—___ Big Discrepancy in the Books. In the proceedings of the Chattanooga city council last night the financial committee made ® report relative to the present investigation of the books of the city, which showed a dis- crepancy of $688,250 between the accounte of City Auditor Vernon Whiteside and the city. Upon the receipt of this report the office was declared vacant and Auditor-elect Stewart was fully made, but as it is now in progress the final result of the in cannot now be fici arises will be promptly paid to the cityaurhorr- ties, What ® wi ute are uD- known, BISMARCK’S RETIREMENT. Gen. Caprivi Likely to Succeed Him— How the Affair is Received. Speaking of Bismarck’s resignation the Co- logne Gazelle says that Bismarck, during the old emperor's reign, gota notion that he was the real sovereign, but the present emperor on ascending the throne showed an iatention to had views of his own and consulted outsiders, ® practice most odious to Bismarck, who thought his own voice only should be heard. He bluntly expressed his disapproval of the emperor's socialistic policy. The heads of the new imperial offices will be Beningsen, Maguel and Huene. Bismarck will most likely be created a duke, The socialists are much elated and claim that Bismarck’s downfall is due to them. Confirmation of the report that Prince Bis- marck’s resignation had been accepted caused 8 tremendous sensation in politi circles in Vienna and the almost immediate retirement of Count Kalnoky is looked for in consequence. The chancellor's action is generally admitted to have been brought about by the young em- peror's determination to have a free hand in he management of state affairs rather than to have any differences of opinion regarding any social problem, BISMARCK’S PROBABLE SUCCESSOR. Lieut. Gen. Leo von Caprivi, who, according to report, will be Bismarck’s successor as chancellor, suffers under the cumbersome name of Concha di Caremba Caprivi Caprara di Montecuculi, His father was s prominent criminal jurist and an able judge of the Prussian supreme court and his mother the daughter of & president of a Berlin college. Gen. von Caprivi is fifty-nine years of age. He passed through the various stages of sub- altern rank ina (este regiment, then got staff employment with various army corps, served with the army in 1865 and made a splendid reputation as chief of staff of the tenth army corps during the war of 1870-71 with France. After that promotion was gradual but certain until, in November, 1882, he was intrusted with the command of the thirtieth division at Metz, In March, 1883, on the retirement of Gen. Stosch from the imperial ministry of marine, Gen. von Caprivi was selected as his successor by the late Emperor William I, to the general disgust of the leading naval officers, Admiral Batsch, the first in command after Gen. Stosch, and an old, experienced sailor, felt especially hurt at the nomination of an outsider like Gen. Caprivi, and sent in his resignation. The emperor, however, appealed to the patriotism of the old tar, who thereupon withdrew his resignation. Gen. von Caprivi remained at the head of the German navy until the close of June, 1888, when he resigned in consequence of ments over questions regarding the organiza- tion of the navy. Gen. von Schellendorff, the Prussian minister of war, retired from office about the same time. Gen. von Caprivi re- ceived from the emperor the grand cross of the Red Eagle and was placed in command of the texth army corps, which is stationed in Hanover, and this command he still holds, MYSTERIOUS MURDER, A Chicago Woman’s Terrible Death— Robbed and Murdered on the Prairie. The Chicago police have another murder mystery on their hands, Late Sunday night a woman was found lying in the road at the in- tersection of the 55th street railroad and Mor- gan street. She was removed to the hospital, where she died without recovering conscious- ness, Her name was Mrs. Jennie Bingham, formerly of Milwaukee, but known in Chicago as Jennie McGarvin. When Jennie left her sis- ter’s at 8 o’clock Sunday night to go to the home of Zach Taylor, the man who had usurped the place of the woman's only legal husband, Major Bingham of Milwaukee, she disappeared from the world. When Taylor's work was over he went to his home, at 246 Wabash avenue, but his mistress had not yet returned. He did not see her again until he identified her body at the county hospital The woman, when she left her sister's house to go home, wore a plush cloak with black fur trimmings and a velvet bonnet, She also wore one of:Taylor’s hand- kerchiefs about her throat. While her friends say that she never drank liquor to excess it is known that she often drank beer while in the company of her friends, She had been drink- ing beer Sunday night. There is little doubt that the woman was dosed with liquor by a jealous lover, driven to the desolate spot on the prairie and there robbed and murdered, oo Two Men Killed in a Mine. While descending a manway of the Philadel- phia coal company's colliery packer No. 4, at Lost Creek. Pa, yesterday, inside foreman Heaton ignited a body of gas, causing a ter- tific explosion, which resulted in the death of two miners named Frederick J. Foltz and Chi Link. Heaton was taken out of the manway so terribly burned that his recovery is doubtful. ————+e+_____ Lead Pencil Alteration in a Will. From the Philadelphia Press, Following its own decision that a will written wholly in pencil was as valid as one written in ink the supreme court Monday, in Tomlinson’s appeal from the orphans court of Montgomery county, decided that pencil cancellations of an ink-written will were also valid. Justice Green delivered the opinion of the court. After re- ferring to the court's former decision he says: “If there be no distinction between these meth- ods of writing, so far as their legal effect is concerned, we can see no reason for assigning an effect to a pencil alteration different from that we would assign to an alteration in ink. If we do that we say they are not the same, whereas we have deliberately decided that they are the same, not only in relation to wills, but to other solemn instruments, It would certainly be inconsistent to hold that in altera- tions of wills pencil writing and ink writing have not the same effect, when in all other cases say they have. As indicative of the testator’s intent the pencil alterations speak quite as certainly as if they were in ink. —- “see George Francis Train is Off. Soon after 6 o'clock yesterday morning George Francis Train left the Tacoma (Wash- ington) hotel for his trip around the world aud was driven rapidly to the steamer Olympia, Cannons were fired at the start, belis rang and steam whistles blew on all sides, Four hun- dred people accompanied him to the steamer Abyssinia, which he will board while at anchor off Victoria, B.C. Mr. Train says he is fixed so he can buy a steamer in case connections fail. He is in fine health and spirits and con- fident he will land at the starting point within sixty days, He starts at a disadvantage in going by the Abyssinia, which is three days slower than the Parthia between the Sound and Yokohama, but will make up some lost time by special train from New York to Tacoma, —-— +0 Didn’t Know it Was Loaded. May Robinson, colored, aged twenty-two years, was shot near Fredericksburg, Va, yes- terday by her sister-in-law, Sarah Robinson, with a gun that Sarah says she thought was not loaded. The woman died in three hours, The shooting occurred at the Robinson home, six miles from town. ‘The only person in the house at the time besides the two women was @ small child, The talk among the colored people in the vicinity has prompted the authorities to make a careful investigation of the case, Sarah is much distressed over the shooting and de- clares that she had no idea the gun was loaded. ‘coe.
