The grand display of the Pennsyl
vania troops at the Inauguration of
President Oarfleld Is already bearing
pood fruit. The Maryland authorities
are making Inquiries as to the moans
adopted to put the fine looking and
well disciplined National Guard In
Ihc field, and New York Is becoming
decidedly envious or the superior mil
itary organisation of Pennsylvania.
a ne miimiry nuiiinriims nere nave a
good hope that the display at Wash
ington will induce the national gov
ernment to exchange more improved
arms for those which the Pennsyl
vania troops are now carrying. One
of the principal objects of the inaugu
ration trip was to have such a result
accomplished. Harrisburg Patriot.
The National Guard of roiinsjhanla.
(From a Washington dlspntoh to the New
loi-K Herald. Miirt-h 5.
The Second division comprised
eighteen regiments of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania, composed of
young ana wen-mane men and com
manned by ollicers of experience in
the civil war. Itwas really in a strictly
military sense a division, numbering
anoui seven inousami men. armed
with the Springfield breech-loading
ninskets, clad in the uniform of the
United Mutes Army, equipped with
knapsacks, blankets, haversacks, and
canteens 01 uniiortii pattern, and pro-
i j j in. . . . . "
viouu wiui mree nays' rations. In
short, it was a body of soldiers readv
Tor real service In any direction. Jt
toon mree quarters ot an Hour to pass
me reviewing stand, and the mon
otony of its appearance, there being
no variety save in thecnlnror the blan
kets, and the numbers on the llairsand
knapsacks, was a disappointment to the
ladies and those who were looking for
a bright spectacle; but to u military
eye it had that very quality in which
militia are usually delicieiit, viz: An
air of reality. It was not so much of
a show, but it was very much like
business. The railroad riot. of 1S77
made a strong impression in Pennsyl
vania, and this division is th out
come of it. The National Guard ot
Pennsylvania has been entirely re
organized, or more properly organized
since that date, and bus had ils uni
forms only a year. They were ob
tained from the United .States on pay
ment by the State of the cost price.
Curiously enough, it is reported that
the Pennsylvania railroad, which suf
fered so heavily in 1377, transports the
wholedivision here ami back without
expense. The corporal ion appears
to have laid its eyes opened as to the
value of a really "efficient force in an
emergency which may occur again at
any moment, and it cultivates a good
understanding with the protectors ol
order.
Whatever of military interest there
was in to-day's parade is found In the
regulars, the Pennsylvania division
and the three or four organized regi
mentsand battalions from other States.
The rest of the assemblage had no mil
itary value in its present form. As
for the regulars it is their business to
be soldiers and to devote their whole
time to it. It is generally believed
that they do so, and that small as they
are in numbers, they are surpassed hy
no army in the world in individual in
telligence, education, and general mil
itary efficiency. Concerning the mili
tia ot the country at large, however,
no such uniformity f opinion exists.
By a large number of people, at least
it is considered more for show than
any useful purpose. But the Pennsyl
vania division, as it appeared to-day,
is open to no such criticism whatever.
It it is devoid of beur-skin caps and
other fancy nonsense in its uniform,
and it showed in every point of detail
the results of careful organization on
strictly military principles. In drill
the various regiments were unequal.
The marching of .some could not be
surpassed. The marching of others
was poor. The same variety was ob
servable in the men. The (aces in
some of the regiments were more in
telligent and the bodies more muscu
lar and better set up than in others.
Taken as a whole, however, the raw
material in the men would bear favor
able comparison with an equal num
ber of the United States army or any
other army, and the drill of those who
was defective can readily be im
proved. Proficiency in driil is not a
difficult thing to obtain. nor is it in drill
that the militia is ordinarily defective.
It is rather in discipline and in mili
tary habits and thoughts, in organiza
tion and subordination of self that the
citizen soldier needs improvement. In
all these respects this Pennsylvania
division showed to-day an entirely
new departure troiii the old militia
ideas, for it was thoroughly organbed
on the basis of accepted military prin
ciples. The arms, clothing, and
equipments were uniform and of the
pattern adopted by the General Gov
ernment, whose officers are presum
bly capable of selecting the best for
actual service. The officers and men
were known to each other in their res
pective spheres of command, and it
was all under one authority. Noth
ing but the experience of battle and
the traditions of former achievements
are needed to make these men trained
soldiers, and even this is net wholly
Jacking, for although the mi n in the
rank are too young to have seen ser
vice in the civ'i I war, yet a large pro
portion of the officer were educated in
that fiery school, the greatest school
of war the world has seen since Na
poleon's day.
If the present organization of the
National Guard of Pennsylvania can
be kept up for a few years longer, ami
constantly Increase its efficiency in
points of detail, as it naturally will if
the organization is undisturbed, it bids
fair to at last solve the militia problem
iu a satisfactory manner, i. e.. to pro
vide a body of soldiery really efficient
in cane of emergency, either forState or
National purposes, and yet not wholly
to abstract ils members from the pro
ductive energies of peaceful occupa
tions. From a population of about
four and a quarter millions, Pennsyl
vania sent here to day seven thousand
well-equipped and organized soldiers,
or about one iu six hundred of the
population. Could the great States of
New York, Ohio, Illinois, ludiana,
Virginia, and Kentucky, with their
population of fifteen to sixteen mil
lions, have an equally well-organized
force in proportion, to their numbers,
we should then have in realty a Na
tional Guard, as well as a State guard
ia wall State, greater in size than our
Uvular army. Js.it not worth while

The National Guard of Pcnnsvl.
vanla, which apiwared at Washington
seven or eight thousand stromr. Hnd
constituted one of the most Imposing
icuiurcsoi me inaugural procession ap
peared to have created a profound im
pression. The display was certainly
creditable to Pennsylvania, not on
account, of the numbers of the militia,
but because the men comooslnir the
regiments presented something more
than the appearance of dress oiirnde
wildiers. They were not inuidilv uni
formed, and their soldierlv b'earliiir
and excellence of drill have been fa
vorable compared with the rcirular
troops, wno appeared in the same pro
cession. No State in the Union now
nas such wen-organized mil Ilia, as
Pennsylvania, and the work bus all
been accomplished within the past
three years. It is an honor and a
credit to the Mate wherever it
ap-
pears.
Public Ledger, March 6, 1881.
If It had not been for the magnifi
cent division of Pennsylvania troops
what would the Washington Inaugu
ral display have amounted toasa par
ade and brilliant spectacle? Their
visit was full of discomforts, but the
Pennsylvania soldiers did honor to
the State and the State lias reason to
be proud of them.
Philadelphia Press, March 8, 1881.
The Convention of the National
Guard Association, composed of dele
gates from the militia ol' the several
Mates, will be heartily welcomed to
Philadelphia, where the military
spirit never ran higher than it does at
present. The primary object of the
Association is to "promote military
efficiency throughout the active mili
tia ot the United States," an object
which lias a nearly unanimous sup
port, although there Is a difference of
opinion as to the means by which it
can he best effected. The Association
has pronounced in favor of congres
sional action and a national appropri
ation. Other individual members of
the Guard ami its friends favor State
legislation and organization without
any Federal supervision. It is aureed
however, as the Constitution says in
effect, if not in words, that a well-
regulated militia is necessury to the
security of a free State, ami the dis
cussion of the whole subject is likely
to do good. In the meantime it may
be noted that under stringent State re
gulations a militia can reach a high
state of effectiveness ' Since its recent
re-organization after the Pittsburgh
riots of 1877. the National Guard of
Pennsylvania lias developed into a
military body whose efficiency is per
haps not equal to that of the regular
army itself, and whose soldierly dis
play at Washington on Friday last
won the highest praise from "every
spectator. It is a noteworthy fact
that at this very time a bill is pending
in the New York Legislature re-organizing
the much-vaunted National
Guard of that state upon precisely the
basis of that or Pennsylvania, and this
notwithstanding the fact that less than
three months ago the New York
Times advised the people of Pennsyl
vania to adopt the New York system.
The proposed New York law is an ex
cellent one, except in its repeal of
Stute aid to rille target pi act ice.
Congratulating the Troops.
THE RECORD OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
ThOOPS AT WASHINGTON.
The following has been Issued from
the headquarters of the National
Guard in Hai risburg, issues by Gov.
Hoyt and adjutant General Latta:
Seven tl.ousand six hundred of our
citizen soldiery, were safely and
promptly transported from their
homes to the federal capital, thoroughly
organized and completely equipped,
ready for immediate field service. They
marched with such precision, were so
excellent in appearance, superior in
deportment and effective in discipline
as to win the just encomiums of the
most experienced and the most crit ical.
The best attainable results of a sys
tem seem, in many important senses,
to have been reached. Achievements
speak most, and supersede the need of
praise.
Such was the record of the Pennsyl
vania division of National Guardsmen
on the occasion of the inaugural cere
monies ar the National Capital on the
4th day of March, 1881, and to them
and for all this the commander-in-chief
extends his congratulations.
Let success stimulate zealous efforts
and futlier improvements.
Emphat'c recognition is due to the
railroad companies, to whose cour
tesies the National Guard Is indebted
for transportation from all parts of the
Stale to Washington and return, and
that without any casualty.
The Senate passed the bill to
return to Japan the amount
of the indemnity which was exacted
of the Imperial Government after the
affair of the bombardment at Shl
moiiaseki The original amount paid
by Japan was $7oO,000, that being our
share of the $3,000,000 squeezed from
the Japanese Government. This sum
judiciously invested by Secretary Se
ward, now amounts to $l,4tjj, 224. It
is provided by the bill which passed
the Senate that $248,000 of the fund
shall be paid to the crews of the ves
sels employed iu the fight at Shi
monoscki, or their survivors, which
would leave $1,115,244 to be paid to
Japan. Such a conclusion to this
long-delayed and miserable business
would have been a matter Tor congrat
ulation among patriotic Americans.
But it seems impossible that the House
could find time if it had the incli
nation) to pass the bill, necessary al
though it was to the preservation of
the honorable reputation of the Re
publicNew York Times.
