"While they thus tecognlzo the Monroe

representation was," says Mr. Cuitls,
'to unite tho lhttopean powtts on n

Calling Quav's speech a galleiy-plav

A V'ortl of Advice.
Newspaper announcement to the ef
fect that tho war department, in the
event of necessity nrlslng for calling
out portions of the organized mllltla,
would muster members of the National
Uuaid into s-ervtee as Individual", pie
serving regimental organizations only
in cases vvhete legiments should volun
teer substantial! Intact has stilled up
a hornet's nest. Last Ftiday night In
Mioohlyn, at a meting of memheis ot
the Forty-seventh ivglment, N'. G. N.
Y, 500 men declaied that as the rorty
seventh regiment they would go any
where the pieMdent might send them,
but that if they did not go as the
Toi ty-seventh leglment they would not
go at all
The llochester Demociat and Chron
icle, in noting this action, f,ays. "In
tent on utteib unimportant wliedrawn
constitutional technicality, the war de
partment has failed to re that the
Milue and availability ot the National
Uuaid, in the present emergency, con
sist In the fact that here Is an organ
ized mllttnrv force, so dillled. armed
and equipped that It Is measuiably
well piepared foi immediate active
dut, lomposed almost entliely of men
peifectly leadv, even eager, to volun
teet foi any set vice the government
may requlie of them. In any fashion
that pleases the government subject
only to this one condition: Kach or
ganization expects, as a matter of
coutse, to volunteer as a bod, to pre
serve Its Identity and Its good name
and to servo under Its, own ofllcers
1'spilt du coips" and soldleilv leadl
ness to go with the colois' anywhere
are enormously powerful factors In the
readiness of the National Cuatd to
volunteer Into the eivlce of the na
tion The wat depattment has, appar
ently, unci ly failed to appreciate these
facts. To meet a condition of Its own
creation, about which the guardsmen
care nothing whatever, It has, unless
It Is misrepresented, mado the tprrible
blunder of violating the one condition
that to the guardsman Is all-Important.
It has wiped out 'esprit du
coips' and devotion to 'the colors'
as Incentives to volunteering.
If the war department pursues the plan
of enlistment outlined In tho press dis
patcher. It will get very few 'volunteers
out of the National iluaid, und will
make that organization practically
valueless to the government. If It does
an tho war depattment did In '61, If It
orders, however informally, unconsti
tutionally and Irreguliuly, tho regi
ments of tho guard to ho nt a certain
rendezvous at a certain time and thero
and then inustois each organization, as
an organisation, into the fedetal Bar-
vice, It will get the whole National
Guatd and never hear n question as to
the president's constitutional power to
do whatever he plenses with tho guard
from any guardsman, And It may ho
remarked that thereafter the war de
partment can do with theso United
Slates troops whatever It deems noces
snry for tho best Interests of the ser
vice "
If our esteemed llochester content
poraty will permit us to offer n sug
gestion wo would recommend that be
fore dlsoiganlzation nnd 111-fcellng be
excited among members of the Guard It
be flist ascertained beyond pei adven
ture that the war depaitment has
reached any such decision or has ever
contemplated the disintegration of ex
isting Guatd otganlzutlons. In 11 mat
tet of such Impot lance It U well, ns
Captain Slgsbee remarked, "not to

of every great power facing a certain

the conditions exist The situation has
arrived.
The explosion on tho Maine has lit tho
path ot dutv, but It lias not laid It out.
History had done that With vigorous
lecognition, both of our own national dlg

the president makes no charges against
Spain or Spanish authorities Suspicion

national pollc The proved and ac
cepted facts are enough The destruction
of tho Main demonstrates the collapse
of Spanish nile It proved tho absence of
