The.yeaa 1893 will long be remembered for its
.cttlemen of the boundary question between Ar
i.tocracy Of Color and Impartial Human Liberty.
The War of tho Rebellion being closed, We have
now to decide whether the fundamental idea which
mpelled and justified the Rebellion shall dominate
over our whole country, molding her institutions
and shaping her desny onv BE tThs una, GGa

The TRIBUNE has declined to be lurec or turn
ed aside from the Main Question:, 1t has persist
emily refused to swell the clamor ior vengeance Oh
the de Gated Rebels, whether by execution or by
conf scation; and one of its strong reasons for
this course is conviction that no drop OF Rebel
blood could be cooliy, deliberately shed without
i,;rht Of sun'rage To- the Blacks. Defling the mad.
ness of passion and the bl'uiness OF short-sghted
msconcepiioE, has demanded on
