THE DEMOCRATIC REBELLION

We had intended to publish Gen. Sher-
idan's report this week. but we have con
cluded to publish it and President
Grants message in full next week. We
ask our Democratic readers to suspend
their opinion until they read these Off
cial documents. Let no one be alarmed
at the rebel yell in the papers, We all
heard the same old yell in 1860, and
from that time up to the murder of the
President of the United States, in the
year 1865
The outbreak of this rebellion is for
tunate for the people and Government
of the United States. The Democrats,
by playing possum, and pretending to
have acquiesced in the abolition OF sla-
very, and the constitutional amend
ments, were in fair way of obtaining
control of this Government, in which
event the Government would have come
to a speedy end But they had not the
sense and discretion to wait until they
could get power and they commenced
their open revolution while Gen. Grant
is commander-in-ch of the army and
navy, and Gen. Sheridan is Lieut. Gener-
al of the army And this open rebellion
will arouse the dormant patriotism OF
the American people as it has not been
aroused since the Democratic batteries
opened upon Fort Sumter.

If Louisiana is a free and sovereign
State, what is a conquered province P
C.. cleviUe. Democrat.
Louisiana is the farthest from being a
sovereign State of any one in the Union.
She was a foreign province when pur-
chased with the money of the Nation.
She was conquered province when she
had been subjugated by the National
arms, after her Democratic pro-slavery
rebellion. She should be held as con-
quered province until all the old Demo
cratic rebels are either shot, hung, or
until they die natural death. There is
no safety in any other course.

GOV. ALLEN

1t is certainly humiliating to every cit
izen OF Ohio to know that the Governor
OF this State could utter willful and mali
cious lies in public speech, about pub
lie matter. We find in several Democrat
ic papers report of a speech made by
GOV. Allen on the Sth OF this month, in
which he said:
''How was il setllede In the old way of ies-
poiism settled by an armed body; settled by a
part Of The army of The United States paid by
your taxes; settled by a man who was order
ed there for his reckless military despotism
ana that man, after having turned out enough
of the elected members of the lawmaking
power of that State wants 20 make big job
and short one. He telegraphed to the Presi-
dent that all the white men'1n three States were
bandits, all outlaws, and the way to get RID of
them by a short and quick process so that there
would be no trouble in the future"
Gen. Sheridan was not in command at
New Orleans until after the Democratic
mob had been put out of the legislative
hall. That is lie number one. When he
says that Gen. Sheridan telegraphed to
the President that all the white men in
three States were bandits, he uttered so
barefaced lie that the smallest speci-
men of party paper would be ashamed
to get so low. Here is the dispatch upon
which the Governor of the great State of
Ohio bases his lie:
NEW ORLEANS, January c, 1915.
''To His ExceIlency, [. S. Grant. President OF
the United States:
IL think the terrorism now existing in Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Arkansas, could be en-
tiTely removed, and confidence and fair deal
ing established, by the arrest and trial of the
IingIeaders of the armed White Leagues. If
Congress would pass bill declaring them ban
ditti, they could be tried by Military Commits
sion. The leaders of the banditti who murdered
men here on the l4th of last September, also
more recently, at Vicksburg, mississippi should,
in justice TO law and order, and the peace and
prosperity of this southern part of the country,
be punished. It is possible, that if ,he Presi-
dent would issue proclamation declaring them
banditii, no further action need be taken, ex-
cert thBt which would devolve upon me.
'P. H. SHERIDAN,
''Lieutenant-GeneraI United States Army
Instead of declaring all white men in
three States banditti, Gen. Sheridan only
speaks of the ringleaders of the armed
white leagues. Now if Gov. Allen will
admit that all the white men in these
three States are leaders of the armed
white leagues, he can get out of that lie.
If that be true, then the President should
at once call for volunteers, and send an
army of one hundred thousand men into
these States in less than sixty deys.

Democratic Congressman should de-
nounce in fitting terms the outrage in
Louisiana. 1t is no time now for honied
words. Give the perpetrators, instigators
and apologists the hot end of the poker.
-CircLeUiHe Democrat
Just the way you Democrats talked in
1860, but you got your own fingers badly
burned with that hot poker. Have you
forgotten how your last Democratic Pres
ident, one Jefferson Davis, attempted to
escape disguised in the petticoat of his
poor old mother-in-law Let your Dem
ocratic Congressman 60 on with their de
nunciation. People do not scare half as
much as they did fourteen years ago.

sense of duty is so strong that in viola
tionef his own personal feelings, he per-
sists in remaining Governor of Lou

would not be in Office twenty four hours.
Kellogg is a political pet of the kind
whose patriotism is not widely appreciat-
ed. > CGrcleviUe Democrat
That is frank admission. If the
Democratic rebels were not kept in check
by bayonets, you admit that they would
overthrow the State Government in
twenty-four hours. But, thank God, and
President Grant, and Gen. Sheridan, the
bayonets are now placed like the money
of Oakes Ames-where they will do the
most good.

We have but few words to say this
week about the Narrow Gauge Railroad.
Before the next issue of our paper, the
books will have been opened. When the
time for action arrives, we generally stop
talking. There is no opposition to this
road. Every citizen of jackson county
will admit that its construction will add
millions to the wealth of our people.
No one offers a single objection to build
ing railroads by private subscriptions.
There may be plausible objections urged
against taxing people against their will,
to build roads. But when men come
forward and voluntarily subscribe, no one
can object. All admit that an honest
management of the road will render the
stock valuable and paying Investment.
All the above facts being admitted,
why do we have any misgivings about
the small amount of stock being at once
taken? We can scarcely tell why. We
fear that many will say TO themselves,
"The road will be built any way, and l
will receive all the benefits, and take
none of the risk" Another may say,
"There is neighbor A, who is better able
than am, and he has not subscribed as
much as ! think he should have done,
and 1 will not subscribe the amount
which 1 intended to subscribe. And
there is neighbor B, who has more prop
erty than l have, and he refuses to sub
scribe anything. and l will not pay any
thing to enrich him, when he will not
put his own hand to the plow, or his
shoulder to the wheel"
We were in Columbus during the dark
est hours of the war, in the summer OF
1862, and heard Gen. Geiger make war
speech on the front terrace Of the State
House He said that it was his opinion
that the rebellion never would be put
down until eeery man made it his individ-
ual matter If able, he should shoulder
his musket and go to the front If not
physically able to become a soldier, he
should contribute of his means. If he
had no money, then let him exert all his
influence for the cause
Gen. Geiger was correct. And that
principle applies equally in the case in
hand Let eoery man realize the matter
now at stake, and the niomentous eonse
quenees of a failure Action Action i:
the thing needed. Let eoery man do hi;
duty, and success is assured.
