The Ministry spropos OF Lord Raglan. Lord
Raglan represents system, II he falls, the pres
ent military system Of Great Britain is revoll'
tionized. Aristocracy will then be wounded IN
its tenderest point-wil lose its choicest pre-
serve, its most jealousy guarded monopoly. The
nation and the army understand each other. The
nation il proud Of the army, s1d shows its care
for 1t by sick and wounded funds By ps.rioac
funds, by Miss NightiDgsle's company Of nurses,
BY voluntary contributions Of all sorts, from free
csrIiSge and cl,thirg to plum buildings and news
pspers The army, On is side apprecl.es these
acts and demonstrates its conf in the rs
ton by letting it's wants and safiernss BE known
through the public press. Tie whole army,
we are told, is crushing INFO print with
frank disclosures and declarations Of opinion
no longer kept in check through fear Of the Horse
Guards. With this mutual sympathy between
the army and the nation, how comes il 10 pass

INTO communication with the warm feeling, OF "a
aroused people, by the faithful services of free

las at least afforded 10 the British aris.ocracy t1e
opportunity Of demonstrating their practical IN

proper level in the public esteem.
