THE ARMY TO BE INCREASED.

Washington dispatches OF October
12, give the most important features
of the report of the commanding
general of the army to the secretary
of war. The great burden Of this
effort, which the general designstes
''the last annual report which 1 ex-
pect to be called upon to write" is
the necessity for the increase of the
army. General Schofeld expects
soon to be placed upon the retired
list to end his days in quiet repose
and under the full pay allowed by
our military laws to his rank; and in
this, his last report, he finds the con-
fition Of this great republic such
that he deems a large increase Of the
army necessary, not to defend us
from the invasion of foreign foes, but
to keep our own people in subjection
to the laws. The general says:
During a large part Of the year,
the army has been employed in the
suppression of domestic violence, which
took the form in many cases Of forcible re-
sistsnce to the execution Of the laws Of the
United States, seizure or destruction Of
property under the care of the United
States officers and open. defiance Of national
authority.
It is not proposed here to enter
into any discussion of the questions
in controversy relative to the right
or wrong of either side in the violent
demonstrations to which the general
refers further than to suggest that it
is not consonent with reason or good
sense to presume that any part OF the
American people would ever resort
to violence without provocation; and
it will be observed by all who read
this report that the general makes
no pretense of discussing the causes
which led to the trouble; or OF pro-
posing any means of preventing the
future recurrence of such violent
outbreaks except by the establishment
near the great railroad and CONNER
cial centers of a sufficient military
force to terrorize workingmen into
abiect subjection to every indlgnity
which their masters may determine
to impose upon them. Of the police
and the local militia he says:
Il would seem unnecessary to point out
the fact that any force like the militia OF a
state, or the police Of q city, acting under
another authority, though highly efficient
in their appropriate service, cannot be
made a reliable instrument for the prompt
and effective execution of the laws Of the
United States. Msnifestly every govern
ment should have an adequate force Of it's
own for the execution of it's OWE laws, no
less than the judicial executive officers,
necessary for the same purpose.
Have the masses of the American
people become such outlaws that the
police and the militia are inadequate
to maintain the peace, and that it has
become necessary to maintain large
standing United States army to hold
them in subsection to the laws which,
in theory at least, they have been
instrumental in enscting for their
own government It weuld seem 80

OF the country was less than half its present
amount and domestic violence was not ap-
prshended.
All, general, why was domestic viO-
lence mot apprehended" twenty-five
years ago, and what Canses have been
instrumental in effsCting this change
in the disposition Of the peoples
Have you made any effort to discover
these csusesG The American people
are rapidly making the discovery If
you have not, and in due time they
will have something to say relative
to this standing army which you
propose.
Here is the generals estimate OF
the American people whom he pro-
poses to hold in subjection to the
laws by military force:
The army has been required recently 10
deal with an army far more numerous and
dangerous to the country than any savage
enemy which il has heretofore been called
upon to meet.
How do the industrial forces OF this
country like this estimate Of the gen
efsl of the United States army?
The great object really aimed at in
this report, and which is SO far
reaching in It's consequences, if it
should be fully gained in the few
short months yet remaining Of the
absolute rule Of our American plu-
tocracy as to demand the most seri-
GUS consideration of every thoughtful
citizen, irrespective Of party, ia COW
cred by very brief paragraph. 1t
is this:

Schaar rented the farm from Mrs. Brown

that she had to give him notice to Quit.
Giving notice and quitting are
two different things and Scharr
