WHY UNIVERSAL AMNESTY SHOULD MOI BE GRANTED.
Still slender preext for disaeetion is the fact that
complete amnesty has not yet been extended 10 hand

may search the worlds annals in vain for parallel to
the forbearance and forgiveness of the Republican Ad
mnistraton Not punished, but simply denied the priv
iege of guiding the destnes OF the Republic are barely
800 of the twice 100000 who staked their lives and their
fortunes upon their treason. SOured ambition arrayed
in scky sentmenalisin, ignores the teachings OF hu-
many all the past and mOurns that the chief plOtters
against the nation not made It's trusted connselOrs
Ii strange that history should send down through
who gave their lives at Thermopylg, or that mankind
should drop tear at the valor OF the twice 800 who
rushed into the jaws of death at Balakava. The
waImest sympathy and the highest admiration attend
unselfsh devotion 10 country ana 10 duty out wheh
