Opposed to an Army of 100, 900
Men.

The Democrats of the House are op-
posed to raising the regular army force
to 100 900 men. They have introduced q
bill to continue the re. ular armv at
80. 900 enlisted men, and to enlist $4,000
volunteers for two years, all volunteers
now in the service to be mustered out in
sixty days, and volunteers now in the
service to be given the preference in en-
listments for the two years regiments.
They hold that in two years, the regular
army at its present sizs, will be sufficient,
and that q large regular army is de-
manded by the trists and great cor
porations of the company and will be q
menace to the liberties of the people.
Their position is worthy Of consideration
and the questions raised should be
given the earnest thought OF oil good
citizens. New questions should not be
decided without careful study.
