Pennsyl­ vania has such a law and Illinois must have one. It is said that some 200 mem­ bers of the First Regiment have been notified by their employers that their places have been filled. The First is a Chicago regiment and was called out to prevent the destruction of the property of the same employers and others. Men who go out to do military duty and pro- tact property and lives from destruction ought to be protected in the positions 1if which they earn a livelihood. If they axe not there will soon be no dtixeo sol- diay.--Aurora, News, f&* Should the pending bill for the re­ organization of the navy become a law, naval officers will be deprived of a labor •lid a solace. Whenever a new navy irg- 1 comes out some hundreds of officers i at once busied in figuring out what be their probable standing when the it one is issued. The probabilities of are well known, and no insur- i company has looked more carefully into the probabilities of human life than kave the o^en that eagerly await ad­ vancement. The new bill fixes a mini­ mum of retirements, and thus gives more ewtainty to calculations as to promo­ tion, so that less frequent recourse to the •avy register and less anxious pondering <rf its pages will be necessary to the officers of the future.

Aomnittv «i ncoounts tbe Japaaex did aot wait for the latf&tng of Hm Chinese forest dis­ patched to Corea in transports, but de­ stroyed the transports and sunk the war ship acting as a convoy. This attack shows good generalship, as both the transports and the troops were destroy^ ed a nd the Chinese desire for battle cooled to a degree. If the Japanese generals and naval officers continue to act with determination, China will be beaten be­ fore her forces can entsr the field. China has enough resources, but her officials are slow and her troops are not well trained and properly armed. The current belief in England that China may suffer seriously in the begin­ ning of a war, but must win success in end, does not seem to be well founded Vast numbers will not help China in the conflict with the quick-witted and active Japanese, any more than the vast army of Xerxes availed to crush the handful of Greeks who opposed him at Salamis and rlataea. No European nation can favor the arming and mobilizing of the hordes of China. Once raught the modern system of warfare, the Chinese would become a danger to India on the west and to Rus­ sia on the north. However, jealous of Russia British statesmen may be, it would be suicidal to arm and encourage a monster that might drive Europeans out of Asia. The policy ot Great Britain has been to curtail Chinese power by oc­ cupying her ports and putting her peo­ ple to sleep with opium. It is to the interest of both England and Russiathat the contest in Corea be brought to a close without rousing the Chinese dragon to put forth its full powers. The success of Japan woi^d jeopardize no European interests, for the"power of the Japanese must always be limited by her island ter­ ritory. But the Chinese once on foot and well drilled could overrun Asia. The chances are, therefore, that Japan will gain substantial control of Corea. as Voter*.

Women need not register to vote for township trustees or members of a gen­ eral school board, but must register to vote for trustees of the University of Illinois. * A women in order to vote must possess the same qualifications as a man, namely citizenship, necessary age and residence.

An amendment to the pension law of June 27,1890, passed by the House last Wednesday, assumes to deal with the question of technical desertion, but the measure should receive the most careful scrutiny in the Senate. The amendment provides, "that in any application for a pension under the act of J line 27, 1890, where it is shown that the soldier or sail­ or, on account of whose service such ten­ sion is asked, dies or bad died without having received an honorable discharge from such service, and without having by his own conduct forfeited bis right to receive an honorable discharge, such want of an honorable discharge shall not debar the applicant from receiving the benefits of said law upon complying with the other rfqairnients thereof; providing that no charge of desertion is standing against the soldier on the rolls of the war department." On its face this amendment appears to be intended as an act of justice toward the good soldiers who for one cause or another were not formally mustered out of the service. But if there be left in the amendment a single oppo* tunij^ for mis­ construction, we may be suve that the pension bureau as at present constituted will interpret to the disadvantage and loss of applicants tor pensions. In the clause "and without having by his own conduct forfeited his right to receive an honorable discharge," is an opportunity for an arbitrary ruling as to the bearing of a soldier's conduct. A pension admin­ istration that employs hundreds of paid spies to harry pensioners and pension agents is quite certain to find in any given case that a soldier who was not formally mastered out, forfeited the right to an honorable discharge because of lack of interest in his duty as a soldier. The sophistries by wliich the pension laws are turned to the disadvantage of pensioners and applicants for pensions by Hoke Smith and his stool-pigeon are now well known. But there is little change in their methods, notwithstand­ ing a full exposure of their animus in congress and the public press. All of the machinery of the courts and of arbitrary Dower is directed to the obstruction of pension business and the intimidation of pensioners. •-- Tom Seed's BplgTMB The history of the last year must have been a bitter disappointment to many «ood men who, not satisfied with a reas­ onable amount of good government, sought to find a future better than the past, by throwing themselves into the hands of a party which was and Is the creation of pure opposition, a party which had never been for anything in particular, but simply against every­ thing in general. How these men could have hoped for anything but*the dismal result that now darkens the country they are probably at this moment ask­ ing themselves with more of anger than of sorrow. Of course these men, and with them many partisans of long standing, are now repenting with exceeding bitter­ ness of spirit. They are also bringing forth works meet for repen tance. No election, no matter how trivial, which gives men a chance to show their feelings has been neglected. Wherever the elec­ tions have been on a scale great enough the disgust of the people has taken on the largest possible proportions, and the people have not failed to emphasize what they meant. In Oregon, where the popu­ lists hoped to render the verdict uncer­ tain, the voters have left no doubt ^ given no sign which could be mistaken. Knlgbta of PytMaa Conelavt at Waablaytoa.
