Capitalization.

Tendencies of the present Federal admin
istration as exhibited in its arbitrary ar
rest of individuals and violations OF the
right of persona, liberty. But IT Is not
:, it's treatment of individual lcitizahs
alone that the tendency of the admins
tyat;on TO theassafnption ofinnnsrehieal
powers is plainly apparent. Encroach-
ments upon the reserved rights q efy the
States have been almost as common as
outrages upon personal liberty during
the past four years. and gradually a
scheme OF Capitalization is being'devel-
opsd which is designed to- swallow np
the powers of the several State govern
ments and make the States themselves
hear to the Feaeral' government reia-
+;op somewhat similar to that which
counties bearto States. somaniiest mas

inc the,attention of European politicians
who are already !pronouncing Repnbh-
con institutions failure and pointing
to the relapse of our government into
something very like aimonarchy, for con-
6rmation of their belief.
In a recent debate on American AT
fairs in the English parliament, Mr. DIS
p,r1L the leader of the tory party in
ENGLAND. commented upon the changing
form of our government in a manner
which showed that the change was pecu-
narly gratifying to his high tory opin-
ions. He ia close observer and reasons
skillfnlly. The following passage from
his speech is worthy of the careful at
tention and thought of American citi-
zens:
