numerous petitions in behalf of granting bel

early stages of the patriots struggles, the
delusive promises of Spain to speedily crush
the rebellion, gives the strength of the insur-
gent army and dwells at considerable length
upon the brutality of the volunteers and their
insults TO the American flag. and strongly
urges the United States to proclaim neutrali-

a formidable array of facts to show that an
actual state OF war exists and not, as the
Spanards assert, mere crusade against
Spanish rule. lie also proves by indubitable
evidence that the immediate proximity of
Cuba to the United States gives to these grave

a SEVERE AND CAUsrIC REToRr.

DISTRESSING DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY
About nine weeks ago, while passing along
the street, Miss Margaret Debaugh aged be-
tween eighteen and nineteen years, was bit
ten IN one of her fingers by small dog.
The wound produced was slight, the teeth of
the animal scarcely penetrating the flesh
The finger quickly healed and the occurrence
was soon entirely forgotten. On Friday last
the young lady experienced pricking SEN
sation in her right arm. extending from the
finger in which she had been bitten to the
farthest extremity of her shoulder, and MOTTO
ed that the tip of her finger was slightly in
famed. When called upon to do some do
nestle work She complained that her arm
panied her SO badly that she could do moth
ing that required its use.
Up to this time no fears OF serious conse.
quences were entertained by either the lady
or her friends On Saturday afternoon she
grew worse, when q physician was summon
ed to alleviate her suffering. On examining
her he thought he discovered symptoms of nv
drophoba. but he was not fully confirmed in
his mind as to the correctness of his conclu-
slons During the night she became alarm
lngly worse, being thrown into spasms,
which continued at intervals until half past
IL O'Clock yesterday morning, when stupefy-
ing drugs were administered and she was
put TO rest.
Another physician was called to her early
on Sunday morning who had treated a case
OF hydrophobia. On seeing her condition,
he said she was afflicted with that incurable
malady.
When in paroxysms she was a sad spectacle
to behold. She foamed much at the mouth
exhibited great nervous irritability; breathetl
with much difficulty, and appealed piteously
to those about her to keep at distance, as if
fearful that she might do them personal inju-
ry. During one of her spasnls dog entered
the room in which She was lying As soon
as her eyes fell on the animal She became
perfectly furious, and not until it was re-
moved did her agitated feelings undergo a
subsistence. The sight of water also ncreas-
ed the violence of her commissions. From
the time she got the first severe spasms until
drugs were administered she was tied to a
rocking chair. Occasionally she would
spring up violently, carrying the chair with
her. although held by a gentleman When
her agitated feelings were subdued she was
laid on a sofa to which she was secured till
She died. Harrisburg Patriot, May 30.

THE POPE's NEW CHAMPION.

OF the many wonderful phases spring
ing out of the European imbroglio. the
most surprising is Premier Gladstone's
announcement that the English Govern
ment has resolved to insure the Pope
lar and spiritual rights Or in palmer
terms, England is to succeed France as
the especial champion and protector of
the Pope and Papal power.
We venture to say that this astound-
ing diplomacy was not looked for by
even the most careful observers of Eu-
ropean affairs. Doubtless the English
Cabinet never entertained the idea until
very recently. Panic-stricken at the
prospect of war with Russia, it must
have felt that without some new and
potent ally England cannot success
fully cope with either Russian diploma
cy or artillery. For England always
depends upon continental assistance.
But now, France is pOwerless to even
protect herself Spain has just chosen
its King from the nation that has driven
| the papal forces from Rome. Austria is
weak physically, and bankrupt financial
| ly. Turkey is sick as ever. Prussia is
virtually allied with Russia, while none
of the minor powers could affect the re-
suit. So thrown upon its own resources,
the English Government turns with OPP
en- arms to the traditional enemy of Eng
| fish progress, and hopes by one des-
perate stroke of cowardly policy to Sc
| 81 Ill IN 81 ba
Catholic Priesthood throughout the
world. What prize to bid for! No
wonder the London press is said to
''howp over this official announcement
of England's degradation. To trans
| form the British Lion into a Papal
hound, is enough to make it howl for a
century. What a figure for England to
cut in history. What a task for Prot
estant people to assume. Whist an cpl
taph Oh the departed greatness and
glory of the British nation.
The Pope is forlorn enough to gladly
accept any champion, even if it be a
Protestant power he and his servile big
OTIS detest. But what return can he
make? What has he done for France
in the present war? Defeat for France
meant the expulsion of the Pope from
Rome. The NapoNonic and Papal dyn-
asties were bound together. But what
has Papal authority and Catholic infiu-
ence availed to aid their chief protector
And what more can the Pope and his
Priesthood do for England than for
France?
So having promised to bestow very
much upon parsonage who can return
very little, it now remains for the Eng
fish Government to carry out its Quix-
otto enterprise, or else become disgraced
in Catholic, as it is in Protestant eyes.
How will it restore and maintain the
Pope? Will it send feet up the 1iber
to shell the Italians out of Rome, and
knock down St. Peters church in try
ing to make Plus the Nth its sole pro-
prietor? Or, finding how egregiously it
has over-estimated the value of its new
sought ally, will it tamely back down
from its homogeneous position, and ac-
knowledge that England can neither
maintain the Pope in Rome. or keep
Russia out of the Black Sea? 1t seems
to us that this will be the end of Glad
stones surprising diplomacy, and be-
side such q humiliating situation for
England, fallen France will appear hon
orable and powerful indeed.

party. In this direction there is but one
step needed to secure almost entire har-
mony in that great army that placed
General Grant at the head of affairs.
If Congress will only pass law by the
unanimous vote of the Republican
Members, that shall eradicate the evils
which this reform is intended to de-
stroy, the President will readily give it
his sanction, and the party will ratify it
by their unanimous verdict What the
President says with regard to revenue
reform should also satisfy extremists
whether their hobby be Free Trade, or
an Unrestricted Tariff Whatever poll
cy in our commercial intercourse with
other countries will tend in the greatest
measure 20 make the country prosper
Gus and secure the greatest good to the
greatest number, is the policy which the
Administration will most heartily en-
dorse; but so many and divers ideas
are embraced in this thing that is de-
nominated by all of its devotees ''Rev-
enue Reform" that it can neither be
supported nor rejected. And then, as
the President says, true revenue re-
form cannot be effected instantaneously,
but must be the work of National legis-
lation and of time. The President faVors
the removal of the revenue from arti-
cles of universal use just so soon as the
necessities of the Country will permit it.
But at present some protection to home
industry is necessary to the encourage
ment and growth of home manufac-
lures. So on this questson there is real
ly no good ground for dissenting from
the views of the President. The free
traders and the protectionists, or the
revenue reformers should not expect
to have all their views embodied in the
policy of the party. AS to essentials
all these may, and nearly all will agree.
Since the Presidents Message has been
read by the people, there has not been
nearly as much fault-finding with the
course of the Administration. The
Country sees that the President is hon.
estly and faithfully endeavoring to dis
charge the functions of his high office,
and despite the bitter enmity of foes in
and out of the Republican party, the
ship of State has never been more skill
fully or ably managed. What the Coun-
try needs most, and wishes most, viz
Peace at home and abroad; such man
agement of the finances of the Country

A SUGGESTION.


We intend, during 1871, to make THE
EMpoRIA News a little better paper
than it has ever been.
1t will contain more news and edito-
rial than any paper in the State outside
of two or three of our largest cities.
1t will continue to be the friend OF
Kansas and the People Of Kansas.
A new volume commences the first
of January, and that will be the time to
commence new subscriptions and renew
old ones. Commence promptly with
the first number of the new year.
We now send The NEWS to over five
hundred different post offices in the
eastern States, and Southwestern Kan
sas owes a large share of its immigra-
ton and prosperity to the good seed
sown by this paper. This list ought &c
be increased. Send the paper to some
of your eastern friends next year. Ii
will do good to all concerned.
Give us more subscribers and we viii
give you n better paper.
