LABOR PARLIAMENT. Ajq Important Conference to Be Shortly Held in Chicago. The Relations of Capital and Labor to Be Discussed from AH Standpoints— Prominent Speakers Who , Will Participate. Chicago, Oct. 15.—The parliament of . labor which has been called by the ; Civic federation to meet in Chicago ' November 13 promises to be a most hotable gathering. Replies to the.eircular letter of invitation have been received from a great many men of prominence as thinkers on economic subjects, or as employers or leaders of labor. There is a striking consensus of opinion in favor of making the conference as practical as-possible. The suggestion comes from all sides that the employers of labor and the representatives of labor, as the ones best knowing the actual conditions to be met, should be brought to the frotit in such a discussion. The plan of the parliament is modeled on that of the parliament of rei ligion, so successful last year. There is to be nothing iu the nature of controversy. Each speaker is to present his own views, not to antagonize or : controvert those of others. '1 here is |to be the utmost catholicity, of tolerance and every speaker is expected to respect this tolerance. Differences of opinion are not to be allowed to\ appear as hostilities of thought. Into this parliament is to ‘be poured the result of the thought and investigation of the individual thinkers and investigators of the country. It will form, as it were, a comparative all that lias been accomplished along the lines of the prevention and settle- ;

THE DISPENSARY ACT. South Carolina Supreme Court Say* It la Constitutional. Coi.t'MßiA, S. C., Oct. 10.—The dispensary act of 1593 was declared to be constitutional Monday by Justices Gray and Pope of the supreme court, Chief Justice Mclver dissenting. The case upon which the decision was rendered is known as the “Aiken case,” which originated in the town" council of Aiken attempting to, fine the local dispensers for selling liquor without license. The local dispenser applied to Circuit Judge Aldrich for I an’ injunction restraining the town , council of Aiken from fining him. Judge Aldrich on a technicality granted the injunction against the town ■ council of Aiken, but held that the act ’ of 1803 was null and void, as the supreme court of the state had already so declared an act passed in 1892 almost identical in wording and identical in effect with the act of 1893. An appeal was taken to the supreme court from that ruling of Judge Aldrich. The question as presented to the su- . preme court involved principally two : questions—the decision of the lower i court and the constitutionality of the ; act of 1893. Since the rendering of the decision declaring, the act of 18,92 ; unconstitutional the’ complexion of ' the supreme court has been changed. | Justice McGowan has been retired and j Mr. Eugene B. Gary, formerly lieutenant governor' under Gov. Tillman, has taken his place.' Justice Gary was known to be fa- ' vorable to the dispensary law.when he was elected to succeed Justice McGowan. Immediately upon his taking his seat on the bench Gov. Tillman, reopened the dispensaries throughout the state, lie had closed them immediately upon the rendering of the ! adverse decision on tl?e act of 1892.

* . • x . i The acts of 1892 and 1893 are identical ■ in purpose.and effect and only differ I in title and minor provisions. ■ Justice Gary writes the decision of i the court in the Aiken, ease. The court ' decides that the former decision was j not the proper one; that the disj>en- i sarv law is,not unconstitutional. and . that it is a proper exercise of the police | power of tile state in controlling- the liquor traffic.

MORE TROOPS NEEDED. Recommendations Made in Maj. Gen. Bcho- > field’s Annual Report. Washington, Oct 18.— The annual report of the major general commanding the army discusses widely the use of the military forces of the government in maintaining the federal laws against domestic resistance, and the necessity of coast fortifications for defense against foreign attack. A synopsis follows: Referring to national dangers, Gen. Schofield alludes to the recent employment of the e army In suppressing domestic violence and to the necessity of concentrating at Chicago, for that purpose, of nearly all of the forces that could be made available from all parts of the country., while on the Pacific coast the • navy department placed at the disposal of the I department commander the naval and marine I forces at the Mare island navy yard. The 1 prompt suppression of the insurrection and the enforcement of government authority everywhere without unnecessary loss of life, was by these means, a result which would have been impossible except for the judicious disposition of the droops under officers faithful to the national interests and having profound respect for civil authority and the laws of the land. "The people of the | United States." says Gen. Schofield, "may i wellbe, proud of their little army, sotho rough- ; ly devoted to the public interests." After devoting some attention to the circum- > stances under which the military forces of the I. United States may be lawfully employed in connection with domestic disorders and the manner in which the troops'inay lawfully act in the suppression of such disorders, the general says: • It would seetf unnecessary to point out the fact that.any force like? the militia of a state or the police of a city, acting primarily under another authority, though highly efficient in their appropriate service, cannot bejnade al | reliable instrument- for the prompt and cf- . fective execution of the laws of the United I States. "The country is now for the first ,time ’ squarely confronted with the necessity of I making adequate provision, not only for defense against any possible foreign aggression. | but also for defense against domestic violence in the form of forcible resistance, to I the laws of the United States. A Just • estimate Os these means of defense re- ; quires consideration of the vast extent of the Unite ! States and the great amount of property widely dispersed throughout this . territory, either belonging to the United - States or in such condition as to be under the protection of the national government. When . these facts arc duly considered it becomes j manifest that the present strength of the army i is not adequate' to the performance of the I service which may at any time be required. ’ "it is certainly manifest that tltd present ' condition of the country," with a population of I near 7U.UD.iXM. under the. danger of disorder I now known to exist, cannot be met by the ! same force that was deemed adequate ' twenty-five years ago, when the population of i thd cquntry was less than halt its present ■ amount, and domestic violence was not appre- . bended. «' It & also worthy ot reinark that more than once in the last summer an infuriated mob ia a single city was twice as formidable in numbers and capable of doing vastly greater injury i to life and property than the most formidable I confbinatlon of Indian warriors that ever couI fronted the army Jn'this country. In other words, the army has recently 'been required to deal with- an enemy more numerous and dangerous to the country than any savage ! enemy which it has heretofore: teen called : upon to meet. . ■The effective strength of the army should ba considerably increased. This can be done at iv very small comparative increase in cost. The I present regimental organizations need not be r I largely increased. Two additional regiments of i artillery for the necessary seacoast defense. two additional regiments of c .valry to patrol the long lines of railroad unilergovernment protection. and the present twenty-five regiments ot infantry coaverU 1 into three battalion or- .; ganizations, would, it is believed, be.a just, conI servative estimate of what ,is now actually I needed. For this the existing number of com- •’ 1 missioned. officers is nearly sufficient. But a ! lonstdi rable permanent increase in the' enlisted strength of the army should be made ; and a still surther increase authorized to be ’made by the president, when in his judgment un emergency requiring it may reasonably be .foreseen" ! ■Tt-is not a good military system in which the'executive has no. authority w hatever to in- . crease the effective strength us the army in time of need, but must await the slow, process of legislation tor that purpose. "In respect to the military necessities which may possibly arise out of a conflict with foreign i powers it has for many years seimed impos.sl- j ; Me to impress upon the people Os the United J I States in general the view entertained by all , i thoughtful military students.'However humil- ; fating it may be to this confident self-esteem it is nevertheless a simple duty to point to the great military lesson which is now being taught to the entire world. The most populous and one of the most wealthy of all the nations of the earth is subjected to the extreme humiliation aud disgrace, to result possibly in the* overthrow of a dynasty, at the hands of a little nation of one-tenth its population and about one-tenth its territorial area. And. why is this? It is not because that, great people are lacking in talent or general education or cour--1 age. but because Mhcy have failed to develop their military strength orjresources. The .re lation of the United States to the great military powers of Europe now exhibits a fur greater disparity in respect to preparations for war than "that which -has existed between China and Japan. Will .the people of the United I States and their representatives have the modesty to appreciate.and the wisdom to profit by this lesson?" ’ ’ Gen. Schofield recommends the increase of the supply of modern arms for regular troops and organized militia, and appropriations tor heavy armament 'for sea c-.a- -f en.-e and provision for additional cavalry for service in the territories traversed by the railroads for t transportation of government troops and earj Tying the malls. He .commeqds the work of ; the regular' military establishments and apt proves the recent changes of law regarding terms of enlistment in the army. BEATEN BY ROBERT J.
