" Wehave fallen upon strange,
eventful times. From all sections of
the country intelligence daily comes
of occurrences shrouding our minds
in mystery, or startling us with some
new sensation. Murder, suicide and
deaths, in every conceivable form,
are becoming sounds and sights ia
iniliar to our ears and eyes. Verify,
Death rides on every passing breeze,
And turks in every fewer;
Each season has it's own disease,
Its peril every hour"

ored persons from the Potomac
to the Rio Grande. The organ
died of a surfeit of horrors, and
it may have been noticed since
its death that the sacrifice of
the truly loyal voter in the
South has not been chronicled
in the Republican newspapers
which have survived. Readers
were assured before the Nos
vember elections, and the ass
surance was even repeated
during the late Connecticut
campaign, that if the Demo~
Gratis were successful carnage
would run riot ir the South,
and it would not be safe for
any man within its borders to
avow himself to be a Republi>
can. The absence Of disorder
of any kind in the South during
the past five months has been
conspicuous. There has been
more violence in one little town
in the mining regions of the
Northern State of Pennsylva~
MIA since November than there
has been in the whole fifteen
Southern States. There has
been more resistance to the
authorities of the United States
in the intensely Republican
city of Providence, r. l., in one
day, than there has been in the
whole five months since Nos
vember in the intensely "dis>
loyal" Southern city of New
! Orleans. It is needless to null
tiply examples of Republican
promise and anti Republican
performance. Now that the
elections are over for a season
we ask tine readers to observe
the remarkable discrepancy,
and also to note our prognosti-
cation that the "outrages' will
break out again about the time
that the canvass begins to get
warm in Ohio. towards the
close of next summer. Then
will the loyal carpet-baggeI

is true that ibis thrilling news
