The Canadians of Three Rivers have
adapted a version of the dead cat argu¬
ment to United States Consul Smith,
who was appointed to their town. Con¬
sul Smitli reported to his government
the filtlry sanitary condition of Three
Rivers, the natives there being not at all
in the habit of utilizing the advantages
indicated by the name of their town.
They could not answer Consul Smith's
arguments or deny his facts, so they
took a simpler way to get even with him
by assembling in a body and stoning bis
hoc: e.
We always said so. A gentleman who
lias just been making the tour of a con
siderable portion of the United Htates
says the American national vice is spit
ty^g. The habit is wholly atmecesiairy
—jus. unnecessary as it is revolting to
every refined person. It is injurious be

:
Chief Justice Buxson, of Pennsylva
uia - in bi9 clmrge to the grand jury in
tcase of the Homestead rioters, de
fined clearly what constitutes treason
against a state of the Union, uot agaiivst
thfl United States. He began first by
delfSrmg ^ that the Homestead strikers
ww-e guilty of unlawful violence when
tl.fy r«f,, se ,l to permit .. the .. men to.had t . ,
wsfmn the Carnegie company had lured
to protest their property. *‘It cannot be
tolerated for a moment that one laliorer
shall say to another laborer, ‘You shall
not work for lhis 1IMU1 for tlmt W!l b r «
without my consent,’ and then enforce
such command by brutal violence upon
his peuson.” Following is the definition
of what treason against a state is:
‘When a large number of men arm and
organize themselves by divisions and
companies, appoint officers and engage
in a common purpose to defy the law, to
resist its officers and to deprive any
tion of their feHow citizens of the rights
to they are eutitleil under the
constitntion ;u,d luws< ir is a laying of
war against the state, and the offense is
treason.”
One more step has been taken toward
the extermination of the kingdom of
Dahomey, in the last reported battle
that took place Behanzin measured his
ferocious amazons against the strength
of a modern civilized nation, and got
considerable information when it was
too late to be of use to him. The next
fight will probably wipe out Behanzin
and his kingdom, and Dahomey will
e°me a conquest of the white man. It
was just so that the red Indians were
dislodged from America, step by step,
fighting every foot of ground. At the:
end of the Twentieth century vt is quite
possible that there will be as few native
negro tribes in Africa as there are In
dians now left in America. The great 1
question will be as to how the nations of.
Enro P e 8ha H P« r cel °nt Africa among
thu,u ' Lnckily for us we bave no <lireet
interest in the matter. Our interests at
present are in the direction of acquiring
naval stations in the Pacific ocean and
looking out for the future on that side
of the world.
The Military Drill.
At a parade in which some regiments
of (he national guard had place unum
of cadets from est I^mt joined
the procession and brought np the rear,
j " bad been wise they
J contrast was not fluttering to the botne
drilled soldier. By comparison with the
cadets the militia looked round shonl
dered. loose jointed and shambling in
their gait. Their knee joints bent and
tnmbletl »b° ut awkwardly: they did not
even walk erect. On the other hand,
the slim, lithe cadets, straight as ar
rows, stepping out from the hip joint,
advancing with firm, even tread, excited
universal admiration.
Yet naturally the militia boys were
8,8 graceful, good looking and gen¬
tlemanly as any of the West Point
youths. Before the cadets had been
licked into shape by const-ant drill and
athletic exercises they were fully as
shambling and stoop shouldered as the
national guard boys. The whole differ
ence was in the attention to military
drill. A famous English actress, noted
f or grace and dignity of bodily move
ment, tells ns in her autobiography that
in her childhood she lived in a garrison
tow«. Her mother whs determined on
making the daughter graceful and erect,
and therefore the drlllmaster from the
garrison was employed to come and give
the girl ° regular lessons. For several years
M1 tlv , c ., h .„i„ uri , ses
vitJi Uw« oI<Hm* m* tmctlmd by the
young lady, ami to the day of her death
she maintained that all girls should be
trained by mflftary drill as they grow to
womanhootl.
it is of course not possible for young
men who work on farms and in ollices
daily to spend the time that West Point
c; idots do in drill, but it is possible for
tllelll to do In nch letter than they do at
it. For their own credit and gooil looks
they ougljt to take themselves seriously
