Our Militia Force.
According to the records of the War
Department the militia force of the
United States now aggregates 9,467,684
men that can take the field in case of
need. Eich State now has a national
guard and the organized militia num-
bers 115,669, of which 102,604 compose
the infantry arm, 5,215 the cavalry,
5,267 the aitillery, 649, special corps and
1,143 general and stiff officers.
LtSb year the total appropriation al-
lowed the militia by Congress amounted
to $400,000, while the States expended
$2,934,974 for the same purpose. It is
. stimated that mobilization of the mil-
itia couid be effected in the various
States in from three hours in the
District of Columbia to seventy-two
hours in Oregon.
A nation under arms would mean a
thrilling response in case the War De-
partment’s figures were put to the test
by acrual proof. ' ‘
The Outcome in Kentucky.
Kentucky has had a happy: deliver-
ance in the final adjournment of the
Legisla are without an open war. The
State will lack one reprseentative in
the next session of the United States
Senate, but a much worse thing might
have happened than that. A Senator
might have been declared elected with
s. disputed title,snd it is every way bet-
ter to leave the vacancy unfilled and
give the people another Opportunity to
elect a Legislature that will not bring
dishonor to Kentucky.
If it had not been for the precedent
established in the case of the Senators
from Washington, Wyoming and Mon-
tana, Governor Bradley wouldiprobably
undertake to make a temporary ap-
pointment. But it was formally de-
cided by the Senate that when the
Legislature has had an' opportunity to
elect a» Senator and has failed to do so,
the'Go‘vernor cannot act for it, and the
filled until the
‘ Legislature assembles again.
vacancy cannot be
The country at large can view this
state of affairs with satisfaction, for the
reason that neither of the leading candi-
dates in Kentucky ought to have been
elected and neither was at any time
likely to be elected by an unassailable
~ majority. There was some hope, for a
brief period, that party lines might be
disregarded for the sake of securing a
representative of the sound money prin-
ciples to which the State has declared
its allegiance, but when this hope faded
the failure to elect was the best' possi-
ble result. . ’
Glad to Hear It.
It isunderstood that H. B. Hale who
has sold out his drug business, will not
leave town as first reported but will de-
vote his time and attention to placing
on the market more extensively, the
several articles which he manufactures
and which have met with much favor.
This will be good news to his many
lriends in Noriivalk. And may success
follow him. '
