The last issue Of the Conservative
Review contains a thoughtful and sug-
eestive article by Mr.. William Baird,
Of Essex county, Virginia, on 'lmpera'
lism." Mr.. Baird's observations have
convinced him that the genuine i'm
perialistic spirit ia already diseernible,
especially in the large cities. Its
habits. manners and sentiments, he
thinks, are growing daily. The gulf
which separates the two extremes OF
civilized society becomes wider aud
deeper. The spirit Of monopoly in
creases apace, while corporate wealth
and greed sigh not in vain for new
worlds to conqu eT.-Balto Sun.
