consolation in reading the following:

England, with smaller population and
a poorer country, owes $4,000, 794, 235.
France owes s2.240,029, 1914: her debt

cent. in thirteen years, and increases
yearly, while the population remains al
most stationary.
Austria owes s1,210,103, pol, and has
increased her debt one hundred and
eighty per cent. in eighteen years.
Italy owes s1,071 ,818,940, and her

We print elsewhere an editorial article

We-print elsewhere an editorial article
entire from leading democratic paper
of the West, under the head of " From
the Lines" and ask all our democratic
readers TO peruse the same. and then
ask themselves if they can longer act
with the party which not only tolerates
but allows special prominence to this
spirit in its organization. The unfortu
nate result in some Of the State elections
last year has brought out full crop Of
copperheads who had not peeped before
since early in the war, and still more un-
fortunate for the democratic party Chat
is for those who honestly desire its sue
cess on more decent principles) this class
nre rapidly becoming it's leaders, the re-
sui. Of which will surely drown out the
party as in 1864. We are aware that
many democrats utterly repudiate this
stripe Of democracy, but their repudia-
ton amounts to nothing so long as they
continue to act with and are controlled
by it. The democratic papers in Con-
necticut and their stump speakers in
New Hampshire are all speaking in
the same vein, and the only practical
manner to rebuke this reasonable spirit
is to abandon the democratic party. With
such man as Gen. JOHN A. DIX as the
democratic standard bearer, the party
would at once assume responsibility
which it has not had for twenty years,
and yet the democracy Of to-day are in
the hands Of those who opposed the war
for the Union, aud are still mourning for
the :" Lost cause"

was brought before the court at London,
Thursday, and sentenced to Imprisonment
at hard labor for fifteen years. After
receiving his sentence, Lennon made a

gloried in the act for which he was con-
demned, and hoped an opportunity would
be given him to repeat it.
