AS he had not forced an entrance when ar
rested, the court neld him under 500 for
malicious mischief. Jailed to await the
action of the grand jury.

based upon and patterned after the organ
izations OF the Imperial armies of CONT
mental Europe There is good deal of
dissatisfaction and uneasiness expressed
by the people about this. The people of
this country have no sympathy with i'm

surmise that, when the generals of the
army, who favor the adoption of this bill
as soon as they get the army fully
organized under it, get it thoroughly i'm
bued with a spirit of imperialism. get
their newly acquired power we'll in hand,
public apprehension Quoted down, the peo-
Pile lulled into security, will attempt, slowly
but persistently, to imperialize our civil
institutions. And why not?-The provi-
sions of the bill are certainly such, as to
render such a thing possible. If it be q
necessary and proper and good thing to
limperialize the army, why not other insti-
buttons? IF part, why not all, even the
government? 1t does seem as though the
general, and the manufacturing cormorants
had got control of the whole thing, and
have prepared a dose which is too large
for congress and the people to take at
one time.
1t would be Infinitely better for those
generals who have taken the trouble to
bolster up the schemes of fraud and usur-
patton contained in this bill, if they would
act a little more moderately, They have
already aroused feeling, a public senti-
ment that will make unpleasant for them
in the future 1t may, if intensified, result
in their realization of the fact that their
occupations are gone.
