The Bearcats and the PeeIers.

MT Editor: Since the failure of the massed attack several days ago on the police of Norwich, only small skir- mishes have taken place. These have all resulted in checks for the anti-po
 lice forces mainly because of the pro- ficiency of the coppers. There has been some guerilla movements, coup led with gas attacks on the peelers which passed over their heads innecu- ously, and the stench has moved out to sea. The American people dearly love fight and are not particular who puts it up, only so it is a good fight. We love excitement and do not care who makes it. There is, this however, to be said in defense of our police force-bearcats who try their luck on Norwich peelers to convince them to lie down and let said bear cats trample on their ear are not play l ing the game fair. But, once 8 bear cat, always a beaFcat. The indefatiga- 1 ble bearcat is a considerable bearcat, as everybody will concede, always around knocking 'em all loose. With i this no one finds any fault; it is only I that his professional days over, one still remains a bearcat, has given him. self sort of rowing bearcat commits sion, picking on relatives, friends, &C., | quaintances and innocent bystanders. Bearcats, due to this amateur extem- | poreaneous bearcating must not be 1 served with impunity. The peeiers | failure to gauge how versatile a bear | cat the bearcat is-causes the bear cat to reach his zenith, and then pro-
 ceeds to Knock the peelers. silly Sort of "bombastes furioso." the peeler shall not pass.
 Human nature will long tolerate a t-1, ster rears its head and, begins to ar que it's case then moral torpidity, even among the complacently respectable disappears, and healthier conditions prevail. On the principle that fools
 rush in where angels fear to tread, and hard put to it to find something
 new or original to say, and he mus keep saying something to show he is
 worth his pay, a, chap who writes fol la Sunday newspaper adopts a move device. That was to make a Norwich lpolice force of straw, Knock the stuff
 fing out of him" and leave the poo1 divil not a les to stand on. This char did the trick in last Sundays papei and the result was an easy victor!
