Tho plan cnt-rnjlat-s a militia organization srpart anrj distinct from th present state militia system, with which it will not intrre'erc in anv way.

"It would not he difficult." said Gen. James A.

No danger to the lihertie of trie people lies in this scheme on the contrary it contains the only fair distribution of the debt of personal service in the hrr.ir of the country's need.
