LINCOLN' , Nob. , Sept. 3. Mr. Tom Cooke ,
secretary of tbo republican 'stato central
commltloo , addresses the following com
munications to A. Roberts of this city :
A. Roberts , "osloomod and wall unown
cllizon , " the Lincoln Herald of July 25" , IS'Jl ' ,
contained an Intovvlow with you rolatlvo to
your visit to a tin nlato milt at Anderson ,
Ind. After recounting the dilllcultlos which
you experienced in llnding the mill , which
tire hardly equal to these a stranger In this
city would huvo had to surmount in tlndlng
thoodico of the Now Uupubllo when you
wora Its manager and editor , you proceed to
de.soriha what you saxv ,
The Herald of lust weak contained a com-
muntcnilon from .vou , cxprossing your grati
fication because of the fact that this mill bud
been Bold by the shorill and calling on mo lor
an answor. You rightly subscribe yourself ,
' 'Yours in tin1 ? ' that Is correct sardines
corao that wny.
I am informed that the company which
operated the mill nt Anderson started with
but little capital ; that. It run bonlnd In its
finances and its property was sold by the
sheriff to satisfy u judgment of $300. Doubt
less when tno company started it had great
hopes of success and uiado extravagant
estimates of success.
A. low years ago a cartnln architect , long a
rosldont of this city , forsook his vocation
and embarked In the newspaper business as
the managlnir editor of the Now I opublia.
I doubt not , that , with "tho Iris pencil of'
hope , " bo figured out the vast sums of
money ho would make for the company as
well as the extravagant estimates of. con
verts to prohibition which ho would brinjr in.
Tbo court records will disclose the number
of suits commenced nnd judgments recovered
against tbo company , whoso business was
conducted by this architectural managing
editor. It might not bo possible to state the
time when his success as a complete failure
In the newspaper line became so apparent
that ho resigned. His failure docs not provo
that the uowspapor business could not bo
successfully conducted. I do not recollect ,
that any person In or out of this
state wont Into print to express his
joy at the ill success of this onter-
'
pr'iso. It remained for you to glvo
expression to that kind of patriotism. Tbo
Hall Steve and Range company recently
closed business bore , and its property was
sold under ardor of the court ; if. you overheard
hoard of that lamentable fact it
certainly caused a relaxation of tbo profauo
muscles ot your fnco.
Up to data tbo expression of joy at the
failure of the Anderson Tin Plato company
have boon confined to British manufacturers ,
tbo democratic party and yourself au Amor-
loan citizen who tools a deeper joy over the
failure of ono tin plato mill than over llvo-
and-twonty that succcododi
The next , time you go to Indiana stop at

and E. E. F.-onch of Nebraska.
If tnis convention had dona nothing else
but , abolish the " .six dollar" clause In the

this act It at last removed u reproach against
thu order nnd relieved the order from the
Imputation of being a "cheap John" Institu

Constitutional Provisions for tbo Establish

RADICAL DEFECTS OF THE PRESENT SYSTEM
Original Intentions llnvn Never licnn Ilral-
Ired nnd , Evidently. Oiinnot tin Opin
ions of n Competent Mllltnrj
Authority on I'eilrrul Control.
Since the severe punishment ot Private
lams by Colonel Streator during the strike
at Homoucad the attention of mllllia oftlcors
nil over the country has again boon drawn to
the plan of placing the National Guard
under the direct supervision of the secretary
of war and establishing a bureau of the Na
tional Guard In the War department
A prominent army officer now serving nt
the headquarters Dapartmont of the t'latto
has this to say regarding the matter :
The recent culls for troops In connection
with the labor agitations and armoJ Insur
rections , notably in Now York , Pennsyl
vania , Tennessee , Wvomlng nnd Idaho , huvo
once more directed public attention to those
military organizations of the different slates
known as the National Guard. According to
the latest returns from the adjutant general's
ofltco , the aggrcgata strength of tbcso organ
izations Is tlxod at about 110,000 men. Now
York ntoiia maintains 10,000 , Pennsylvania
about 8,000 , Ohio 5,000 ; In the less populous
states the numbers are smaller , tbo mini
mum strength fir any stnto being 100 guards
men for ouch senator and representative In
the national congress. No state is entitled
to share the bonollts of tbo national appro
priation for tuo militia unless it maintains
an active tnllitia to the extent of the mini
mum limit.
In nearly all the stales annual
encampments ot the National Guurd are
hold , and oftlcors of the regular army are de
tailed to observe the work of instruction
thereat. The ofllcial reports of these ofll-
coi-3. published as inclosuros to Iho report ot
Iho inspector general of iho army , Indicate
that these troops have attained a fair degree
or discipline and considerable prollclcncy nt
drill , out nro almost entirely unlnstructod in
practical Hold work.
As an outcome ot thh co-oporation by the
War department , It is now proposed by
Albert Pope ot Boston to bring the National
Guard still more directly under the influence
and control of the regular army by seeking
legislation by congress establishing a sepa
rata bureau of the War department to bo
known as the Military department , to bo
under the control of the secretary of war ,
and to bavo for its chief a briit.idior general ,
with whom Is to bo associated u proper stall.
It Is expected that under the direction of the
bureau tbo National Guard will become n
homogeneous force with uniformity as to or
ganization , drill aim discipline , and of far
greater value to the states nod federal gov
ernment than as at proiont organized.
The schema proposed brings up the very
important question of a proper military sys
tem for this country. It Is bora proposed to
make the National Guard apromlnent feature
of that system , and Involves in effect , the
abandonment of any idea of n proper increase -
crease In the regular army , and to a certain
extent of the policy ot raising largo volun
teer armies , under whloh all our WArs have
been fought. The proposition merits
extended discussion and should bo
adopted only after it has received Iho favorable -
able endorsement of the best military opinion
ol Iho country.
Our present military system is concodadly
weak. The forces legally authorized in tlmo
of peace are a regular army and. a militia.
The authority for these forces Is found in
separate grants of power in the constitution
and they are separata anddtstinct forcos. The
regular army is maintained at such small
numbers that it is not available ovoa as a
suotaion organization for the vary largo
force which would bo necessary in the ovonc
or war. Theoretically tbo reliance of the
country Is upon its tnilltia , doUncd bv law to
consist of "every able-bodied male citizen of
the respective states , resident therein , who
Is of the age of 18 and under Iho ago of 45. "
Soosocllon ICiS , Revised Statutes. Practi
cally , however , the country hns-novor relied
upon tbo militia in groutemergencies. Under
tno constitution tbo general government
can call upon this force only for the purpose
of executing the laws of the union , sup
pressing Insurrections and repelling inva
sion ; that Is , it is limited in the use of the
militia to the purposes of a defensive war.
It cannot locally bo used for foreign inva
sions and it an individual organization of the
militia desire to bo incorporated with anv
army of invasion it must abandon Us organi
zation under tbo militia law uud reorganize
us volunteers.
A further defect of Iho militia Is found in
the provision of the federal constitution re
lating thereto , which reads as follows :
"Congress shall have power la provide for
organizing armies and disciplining the
militia , and foe governing such part of thorn
as may ba employes in tbo service of the
United States , reserving to the states ro-
specllvelv the appointment of the olllcers
and authority of training tbo militia accordIng -
Ing to the discipline prescribed by congress. "
Because of the reservation to thn states of
the power to appoint the ofllcors of the
militia the power givqn to congress to pro
vide for organizing and disciplining the
militia in tlmo of peace bus proven a nullity.
In chapter 10Revised Slalulos , congress pro-
pcrlbod an organization and discipline for
the militia. This legislation was enacted in
IT'.U. It bus' never been carried Into full
effect in uny of the states. As first allomnti
were mudo In some of the stales to effect
an organization under this federal law and
staled seasons of drill were proscribed for
all citizens coming within the provision of
the statute. These attempts Dually degener
ated Into a more enrollment of those subject
to military duty. Finally , ut the outbreak
of the civil war , there was not an ofllciont
militia in any of the stales , und tbo rolluiico
of both north and south at this important
crisis in our history was ppon the raw levies
which conslllutcd our volunteer armies
rather than upon the militia of tbo constitu
tion , which was practically nonexistent.
Since iho war no ultompt has
boon made lo organlzo Iho militia but a sub
stitute known as the National Guard has
fouud more or less development in all the
stales of the union. Tbo Idea of instructing
in Iho military art all able-bodied male citi
zens between 18 and 45 has boon abandoned ,
and such attempts limited to ihc volunteer
militia known as u National Guard. Tbo
National Guard is in fact a part of tbo mil
itia , owes its existence to Iho same conslltu-
Uoual grant of power and has the same de
fects ot organization as heretofore indicated.
Us principal use Is within Ilia state to sup
press insurrection against the laws. Its ofll-
cers are appointed by the governors of tbo
states and , it would seem , are not subject to
the control of tbo general government except
when called into tbo service. Congress muy
establish a bureau of Ibo Wurdoparlincnt for
tbo supervision of iho National Guard but
should uny state refuse lo accept such
supervision It U dllllcuit losoo what coorclvo
measures congress could employ for iho pur
pose of on forcing such ucceptnr.ee.
Governor- states might legally decline
lo carry inio effect , thn provision of iho gen
eral government and niluhl oven defy Iho
general government In Its attempts to enforce
any prescribed organization and discipline
for tholr National Guurd.
It may bo further staled by way
of conclusion that the experience ot tbo general -
oral government has not been encouraging.
Tlio rolusul ut the states of Massachusetts ,
Rtiodo Island anil Connecticut to furnish
tholr quota of militia for the war of 1812 , and
similar refusals uy states In OUT late civil
war leads mo to bellovo that should any of
our future wars provo sectlonally unpopular
thora would bo numerous refusals by states
to furnish allotted contingents Just ns ihoro
have been In tbo past.
The National Guurd is primarily a state
forco. As such it bus much to commend It ,
It Is always unpleasant to say anything
against It , composed as It is of citlz ; na who ,
ut considerable personal sacrifice of tlmo
and money , voluntarily duvolo thomiolvos to
iho acquisition of military Knowledge in
order to render effective uld lo iho alulos In
emergencies ; but us a purl of our national
nilltliu system It must bo confessed thai It
has radical and fatal defects nnd I think It
would bo unwlso for the general government
to extend further aid to it than it now does

The Board of Educallon has not os yet
seen lit lo rescind iu action wilh roforouco
lo iho closing of Iho leacher1 iralnlngschool
at Iho end of ihis year. If somolhlnff Is not
done at the next meeting , which will take
place Monday night , it will bo Impossible for
bucluncrs to enter the training school nnd
none but the second year's ' class will
bo admitted. The intonlion of Iho boara
is lo graduate this class end then close the
training school. Quito a number of the
High school graduates have already made
arrangements to enter the Peru normal
school , believing that tbo Omaha training
school would not bo open to them.
Strong pressure Is being brought lo boar
upon the Board of Education lo have Ibo
ncllon looking to Iho scbool'jj abandonment
reversed , bul Ibo results are still hanging In
tha balance of uncertainty.
Superintendent Fltzimtriuk'M Jtuport.
Following Is Ibe full loxt of Superintend
ent ITlirpntrick's remarks upon Iho training
school In his forthcoming annual report :
"Tho Iralnlng school has douo moat excel
lent work during tbo year. Nearly nil the
graduates of last year nro now teaching in
the schools and In tbo main doing RODd
work.
work.Ono of the ondi sought in establishing
nnd maintaining a syslem ot schools is lo
oducalo direction powor. This direction
power , if not educated nt homo , must Uo lin-
Dorled from abroad at a great oxponso. If
-vo can , through our High aohool uud oihor
advanced institutions ot learning , cduculo
our own people to 1111 Iheso postilions of prollt
and Irust wo hy so doing grcuily oluvalo our
own people and becoino Independent ot
other sections.
"As our schools becoino botlor and Iho city
grows In stability wo shall have moro nnd
moro demand lor Iho employment of the
graduate * of our Hchools as teachers. In the
main this is a rig'htful demand , for each year
Ibo product of tbo schools should show an
advance In scholarship , and so far as schol
arship Is concerned iho graduates of our
High school uud trnlnlcg echool will nvorugo
higher than the mujorlty of iho toactiew
whom wo employ boloxv Iho High school.
Indoo'l ' Ihc supply of touchers lor our schools
made possible uy Ibo oxLilenco of our High
school is very largely a complete re-payment
lo the community for Iho cost of supporting
tbo High school.
"We olroady have in the schools moro
than sixty graduates of our High school , or
nearly -3 per uont of tbo entire corps of
teachers. It may bo considered coriuln , ,
therefore , that a certain proportion of the
graduates of our Hluu bchool should ho
added lo our teaching force each yoar. If
ibis bo Iruo , It Is cheaper lo give these
young ladles the requisite training In our
training school than lo place them in Iho
schools without this Iralnlng. In this wo
escape wilh Iho minimum amount ot d urn ago
at tbo outset.
Theory unit 1'ruotlco Coinimrml ,
"Theoretically a training school In a city
where high salaries are paid Is un abnormal
development , because In reality such a oily
ought not to employ any teacher \vto 1ms not
had successful experience In otherclllos. In
otbor words , suou u city should bo able lo do-
inuntl that the children In Its schools should
not ho practiced upoa by apprentices.
"Practically , however , such an end cannot
Do roacbod. Good toacbors , Hko skilled work
men in any other profession , are not , ns nrulo
looking for positions , the positions look for
thorn , llonco thn larco majority of applicants
from oubuldo for positions In our public
schools do not como from places noted for
iholr schools , or from cities whcro similar
school problems nro bolng solved , Straugo
to say. too , ibu larger the city iho loss able
ore tlio school authorities lo make the
necessary Investigation to prevent the em
ployment of Incompetent material. The
sysU'in ot examinations designed to protect
tbo schools baa , in tbo uiulu , Doon au lutlru-
mont by moani of which objccllonnblo
material has been foislcd unou the schools.
"It will DO seen that this is another Htrong
argument in fnvor of maintaining n iraining
school , and in some cities such nn institution
becomes n necessity. Wltu us , however , the
training school will bo subject lo a great
deal of criilolsm during the next , few voar.t.
No training school pretends to turn out
skilled touchers-nnv moro Ihnn n law school
produces sinllnd lawyers or n medical school
accomplished physicians. The grnaimto of
Iho Iraining school is simply well equipped to
learn the business. There Is lacking in
discipline power , ladling in judgment , lack
ing in ability lo do anything bat thosimnlost
work. As a rule , Iboy can not bo assigned
to any poslllon In the schools except lo luke
Ibo children In the hitter bait of the first
grndo , after Iho children have boon weil
sturtod by a skilled loaehor , or some posl-
Uon in Iho second or third grade. But nil
school systems have always on hand u sur
plus of touchers who can do fairly well Ibis
, class of work.
Ciller of tlio Ullllcultivo.
"Tho need ot the schools of thin city is not
at iho present llino teachers who are tair
primary teachers , but sullied and accom
plished teachers for Iho llflb , sixth and
seventh crudest. No iraining school can sup
ply Ihis class of malarial. It must bo pur
chased in open marital at high prices. Now
if the training school graduates twenty
teachers per annum , uud twenty leachors
per annum is about our neoJ , then
the grodutes of tbo training school
nro numerous enough to supply
Iho demands. Tbo effect of such
an arrangement cannot fall lo bo
disastrous for a llino at bast. For a Uuio , I
will say , because after ihroo or four years.
Ibo stronger luaohors of Iho training school
graduates will become competent lo till some
of these dinicult positions. Indeed , In tils :
cily wo can not al present asslmilalo , prop
erly , moro than olght or ton of these gradu
ates in any ono yoar. How can
we maintain such u limitation ? If wo rc-
qulro a rigid examination of all applicants ,
wo shall discredit the High school und liiuv-
Itaoly force the High school to chnugo Its
course so us to prepare these young people
for this examination. This would bo a very
great evil. If wo graduate thohe young
ladles from tha training school nnd
then glvo Ihoin a rigid examination ,
wo force the training school 10 prepare
for ibis examination , a work which
is foreign to iho purpose of ouch a school.
If the examination Is iho ordinary oxamlua-
lion for teachers it would defeat its purpose
by making scholarship the test when the
real loit is end should bo teaching powor.
If wo maito a rule and say lhat only fiO per
cent of ibo graduates uro to bo appointed in
any ono year the inevitable result will bo
lha curly death of Iho Iralnlng school.
"All questions of school munueomunt palo
Into Insignlllcunco alongside of Ibis problem
of securing nnd maintaining a corps of able ,
ucllvo and ofllclont touchors. Thcro is nn
irroproisiblo conflict oetwoen the intorosls
of iho 15,000 children In our schooU nnd iho
largo majority of applicants for positions as
teachers. ( So American city hns yet been
nbla lo reconcile ibis conflict. Tbo training
school has nitamplcd lo solve Iho problem ,
but without uny Haltering success. "

Because they never spoil nice
desserts.
Because the cakes , puddings ,
creams , etc. , arc made to
please the most refined taste.
Because they are extracted by
tt new method , from the true
fruit , so that each has its.own

acter. That is why Dr.
Price's Delicious Flavoring
