Amnesty DeIcateIy Renewed.

Amnesty DeIicateIy Renewed.
The Presidents mercy towards the
very chief Of rebels has been fully ex-
empllfed, and set forth al his late
proclamation, ODE foundIn this Issue.
He handles the subject very delicately
not once m~entioning, but stated so
generally Is to ine1ade the whole
Democratic party, ana such others, Il
any there be, who were engaged, or
in any way participated in the late in
sOrrection or rebellion, " granting to all
such, ''full pardon and amnesty for
the ofense o ftreason against the Uni
ted States, or Of ddhedTing 70 their en-
emies during the late civil war" We
suppose that during the remainder of
his inglorious administration, he viii
devise the ways and means'i by
which he may further proclaim a par
don to these persons who .sparticipa-
tedn and these who adhered" for
causing the nation to go to such vast
expense to prevent the "participa-
ton" and to circumvent the adhere
ing.n The great mass of voters can't
overlook this great crime in those two
parties, and while they work and la
Dor to pay the enormous taxes thus
made necessary by the wrong doing of
these two parties, who, otherwise
claim to be Democrats, they are con
tinually reminded that, had they not
participated and ''adhered,1 - this
enormous public debt would never
have been contracted, nor these enor-
NOUS taxes levied. Perhaps a proela-
nation may wipe all this out Of the
minds of the present, or succeeding
generation of voters, so that future
historians may not record what great
political party it was that got up, OF
carried on, and gave aid and comfort
to "the late insurrectionists," and
thus made necessary the creation offs so
great a public debt for their suppress
ion. Yes, Andy, another proclama-
ton is necessary. Democrats groan
terribly under the odium fastened up
on them by this debt, and a pardon is
imperitively demanded. So let it
come.

When Napoleon I, returned from
Elba. nothing could exceed the con-
tempt and virulence with which he
was mentioned by the MOniteur, the
BurbOn organ in Paris. AS he advan
eed, however, its tone gradually
changed and when he entered Paris
it became even laudatory. Here is
the way in which it veereH about /:
First Announcements March,
1915,
The monster has escaped from the
place of his punishment he has run
away from Elba." Second-"S The
Corsican ogre has landed at Cape Juan
Third" The ogre has arrived at Gap.
The troops are advancing on all sides
to arrest his progress. He will con-
clude his miserable adventure by
becoming a wanderer among the
mountains hecannOt possibly escape.
Fourth" The monster has really
advanced as far as GrenOble /; we know
not to what tTeachery to ascribe it,"
Sixth" The usurper has ventured
to approach the capital within sixty
hours march," Seventh BONA
PARTIES advancing by forced marches,
butt isimPossible he can reach Paris"
Eighth NAPOLEON will arrive UNI
der the walls of Paris tomorrow"
Ninth" The Emperor NAPOLEON
'fsat Fountainbleau.n Tenth Yes
terday evening his Majesty the EN-
perOr, made his public entry and ar
rived at the Tulleries; nothing can
exceed the universal joy"
In a similar name the democratic
organs treated GRANT during the re-
cent canvass. They describe him as
a sot, a fool, a liar and an imbecile.
Now they are trying to make out that
he is a model Democrat, a sagaciOus
Conservative, and has all the virtues
and talent that can reasonably be
called for in an American President.

with his hst, and kicked him in the
bowels and stomach. They were sep
ArAted BY parties standing near, Ear
" then picked up Green's cane and
struck him with it three or four times,
calling him q liar and thief. Early
was about to strike Green again, when
Green drew his revolver and shot Ear
" in the left side, from which he died
10 Eve minutes. Green is now in Jail

The reason given by the Chairman

is that the Association did not pass
special resolutions to that effect,

nv law did not allow him to publish it
without. Hence / have taken the
responsibility to send it for
publication without the authority of
