THE ONLY “EMERGENCIES” WE NEED FEAR (?).
DON CARLOS QUIJOTE AND SANCHO TIPTOE PANZA ON "THE PATH OF DUTY."
FRENCH ARMS INVESTIGATION,

Q. By Mr. Ames. — My object in asking the question I put was to show that the military men of the nation are not at all concerned, so far as the safety of the country is at stake, with reference to the small-arms! A. By Col. Benet. — Not in the slightest degree. Q. By Mr. Schurz. — You give it as your professional opinion as a military man, that the supply of small-arms in this country at the present moment is sufficient for all emergencies? A. By Col. Benet. — I think so, emphatically.
