bier in his reputed uncle's name
and the provisional government or
dered him instantly to quit the coun-
try. He protested his love for the
liberty Of his people; his hatred OF
kingcraft; his ardor for republican
ism-and the Punishment was sus-
pended. BY his notoriety and his
shrew.iness he was elected to the
Presidency Of the Republic for four
wears. And he took the following
oath:
SIN the presence Of God, and be-
fore the French Nation, which IS
here represented by the National
Assembly, swear to remain falfnidl
10 the sole and indivisible Republic,
and to fulfill all the duties imposed
on. me by the Constitution"
With crafty purpose, he followed
it with speech, reiterating and en-
phasizing his professions OF republic
anism. Then he straightway went
to work to violate the oath and over
throw the republic. He bribed his
generals one by one. For three years
he plotted, drawing tighter the reins,
and undermining the peoples love
for Republic.
In the night of December I'd, 1851,
the perjurer, by his hirelings, wan
tonly destroyed the Constitution and
broke the peace. lie declared mar
tial law in quiet Paris; dissolved the
National Assembly, and denounced
it as body of conspirators; siezed
the newspapers; and before a day
had passed, the Assembly was dis
solved by force, and two hundred
and thirty-five of the representatives
Of the people were in dungeons, in
Guiding the most illustrious men OF
France. This was the coup d'etdt.
France was surprised; bound hand
and foot. Victor Hugo and a few
thousand resisted behind
the feble barricades, and the butcher
sent his soldiery against them and
slew ten thousand in aday.
Republican prisoners by hundreds
were driven into the Prefecture OF
Police like herds Of cattle, and slain
In cold blood. 10 avoid the alarm
which the discharge Of musketry
would cause, Louis Napoleon had
them knocked in the heads with bars
Of iron and killed like bullocks!
Against those who had stood by
him in his adverse and prosperous
days, his choicest wrath was aimed.
| With villainy worthy Of Caligu-
la, he sent his hired murderers to as
sassinate the men who had lifted him
to power. D9rirg aa!,llsthe bloody
week, he never once remembers
that he was man, or forgot that he
was dcmagogue.
Then there was peace. The Due
de Morny, the usurper's bastard
brother, was his Prime Minister.
Paris was crushed. For weeks the
people Of France were subjected to
slaughter, confiscation, Punishment.
Then an election at the point Of the
bayonet, and he was President for
ten years. Then another election at
the point Of the bayonet, and the
empire was restored-the people had
willed it!
This is Napoleon III, the Catholic
Emperor by divine right--the bragg
CART champion of the rights Of the
people Of France = Chicago Post.

Louis Napoleon.

IUc pTtstHt IutpSIOI VI IIuHec
WAS son Of Hortense, the royal mil
liner; but who his father was nobody
on earth knows. His mother bore
children legitimate and illegitimate,
and, in sort Of promiscuous way,
Napoleon was deity sandwiched in
among them. Hortense Beanharn-
ais, his mother, was French, and
Louis Bonaparte, her husband, was
Corsican; but Charles Louis Napo-
leon, SO named, is not French, either
in features, manner or spirit; and it
is exceedingly probable that he is
now engaging in war with his own
first cousins. No man was so unpop-
ular US her husband with Queen
Hortense.
Louis Napoleon is emphatically a
selfmade man; and, like most self
made men, he worships his creator.
He is phlegmatic, sly, stolid, selfish.
Ever since the death of the sbutTile
Napoleon ii in Vienna in 1882, Louis
Napoleon has kept himself ostenta-
tiously before the public eye--a po-
litical pedant-eager to take or break
any oath that promised to advance
his ambitious schemes.
He began by writing pretentious
essays on the art of government and
the art Of war, and by aggravating
whatever of discomfort sprang up
against Louis philippe. AS early as
1886 he led a band Of malcontents
against the fortified city of Stras-
bourg- Rheinish stronghold that
he recently made his headquarters.
The assault was without dignity, and
the failure was supremacy ridiculous.
He was caught by the soldiers and
marched to Paris, but instead Of ex-
ecuting him for treason, the King
gave him free pass TO the United
! States. lie loafed in New York and
Baltimore for some time, living a
fast life, changing hotels frequently,
and spending all the money he could
borrow. His aunt asked him how he
expected to govern the ungovernable
people Of France if the attack had
succeeded. "My dear aunt" he re-
piled, "by giving them a war every
three years."
This wild schemer was as theatrical
as he was INSCRIPTIONS, and as UNI
scrupulous rs he was vain. In 1910,
when the remains of Bonaparte were
brought to France with pomp, he
tried II coup de main in Boulonge.
He hired steamboat In England,
where he was IN exile, recruited fifty
other filibusters, bought a tame eagle,
and made descent on the town. He
took the tame eagle--it was re,y
tame-under his arm, marched to the
garrison ut the head of hissquad, and
demanded its immediate surrender.
He released the eagle, and poked it
up with hissword, hut the bird squat
ted ahjectly on the chips and refused
to perform. The soldiers Of the gar
rison laughed at him, and took him
in custody. He was tried, broke
down making a speech in his own
defense, and was sentenced to perpet-
ual imprisonment in the fortress of
Ham. After an Incarceration Of five
years he escaped.
In ls4s, he saw his opportunity
again. The revolution broke out,
and Louis Philippe wasdriven from
the throne for intriguing againstpop-
Iular liberty. Louis Napoleon rushed
to Paris and proclaimed himself an
ardent Republican. He was elected
a Deputy 10 the National Assembly.
1t was felt that he was bankrupt
plottcr for power-a wretched gam.

Dissatisfied.

A very large number of the
Republican laboringmen and
others of Vinton county are
dissatisfied with the nomination
of j. T. Wilson for Congress-.
They were strongly in favor of
the nomination of II. S. Bundy.
But revenue officers and the
national bankers defeated Bun
dy. Many Of these dissatisfied
Republicans refuse to vote for
Wilson. Many of them will
vote for Leete, the poor mans
friend, or will labor at home
as usual on election day.

From the Portsmouth Tlmos,l
Taxing the NecessaFies of
Life.

An examination Of the pres
ent tariff law will show the
discrimination made in favor of
luxuries, used only by the rich,
and against the necessaries Of
life, which the masses of the
people are compelled to pur-
chase. Gold and silver chains,
and diamonds pay a duty of rs
per cent, while salt pays q duty
of 1875 per cent; rubies, emer-
aids, MOSAIC, oil paintings and
marble statuary pay but 10 per
cent, while blankets, clothing
and fannels pay from so to IS
per cent, and spades, shovels,
hatchets and hoes pay As per
cent; pearls, corals, and mahog,
any wood are free, while hosiery
pays from 45 to 70 per cent;
and shoes and paper, 35 per
cent. The gold ring that dec.
crates the fair hand Of the
fashionable lady, and the dia-
mond that sparkles from her
jeweled finger, is taxed but rs
per cent, while the gloves that
keep warm the honest hand of
industry must pay a tax of 80
per cent. This is the tariff
that the law, passed by the
Radicals of Congress last win
ter, imposes. 1t places a tax
upon the luxuries Of the rich
twenty-five per cent. less than
it places upon the articles con-
sulned by the laboring classes.
Is this fair and just ? 1t is what
John T. Wilson voted for.
