General Sheridan's murderous propo-
sition to declare citizens "banditti"-try
them by military drum head court mar
tial and then murder them, has aroused
spirit of Indignation and sentiment of
adherence all over the land. This
would-be military usurper should receive
the proper reprimand-a reprimand that
would be warning to all such would-be
tyrants in the future, The Press of near
ly the entire country condemns Sheridan
and his murderous proposition. He goes
further than Order-reigns in Warsaw,
Constantine of Russia, or the brutal Hay
nau of Austria when commandingin Hun
gary in 1S49.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-01-14
THE PRESS AND THE PEOPLE.

The Indignation from one end of the
country to the other, over the high hand
ed proceedings of General Sheridan q Co.
in New Orleans is carrying alarm to the
White House and its partisans.
The idea that the army of the United
States can interfere and organize state
Legislature on the orer of he President
or the Governor, ol d o,ate, or both, is
only worthy of Russia, or Mexico. 1t
will not be approved by the people OF
the United States
We rejoice to see that the Press, with
out distinction of party, is speaking out
in words that will blister the high hand
ed knaves and sapheads at Washington.
The Indignation meetings, too, that are
called and being held will show the pub
lie sentiment over the federal military
tyranny at New. Orleans.
The Courier deS EtdtS UniS closes an arti-
Gle by saying: "The violation of the laws
is the same in every case-the 18th Bru-
maire, the I'd December, and the coup
d'etat of Pavia were not acts of more tia-
grant usurpalion,"
Eco FHdlia heads an article,-"The
Warsaw of the United States" and con-
cludes.
"The acts perpetrated by the President
no government in Europe would dare
to do, except, perhaps, that of RVRia.-
Grant arrogates to himself the right to
violate the Federal Constitution and the
statutes of the different States; he lays
violent hands on the rights of the citizens
of a sovereign State, and when they pro-
test and endeavor to recover the same,
the reigning Caesar in Washington sets
his troops in motion to suftocate every
attempt at justified commotion by the
use of brutal force.
The Cleveland Herald of the 9th has
an editorial headed, "The New Orleans
Natter does not bear scrutiny" and calls
the interference by the military at New
Orleans "a sad error"
The Hartford CONN., Courdnt, Repub-
lican, says: at would have been better
for the Republicans to have submitted
with protest, and carried the matter to
the Courts, than for the resort to have
hsen made to the General GevsFnmsns,T r

In his famous "banditti" dispatch, Gen,
Sheridan went out of his way to include
Arkansas as scene of White League
terrorism. The clergymen cfLittle Rock,
as we'll as the Legislature of the State, are
swift to repel the charge. We have no
reason to believe that there is White
League in Arkansas, and there have been
no reports of outrages in that State since
the officers elected by the people have
been allowed to exercise their rightful
authority

The two learned animals of the Repost-

They might differ also in regard to
Noah's flood or the tower Of Babel; but
they agreed cordially in opposing aud

Works and Gas Fitting questions. These
are of more importance to one of them
than the Resolutions of 1898.

In 1875, the question in America was
King George lid tyranny or liberty
Ethan Allen demanded the sure nder OF
Fort Ticonderago "in the name of the

similar one-military despotism, versus
the rights of the People. Now, in 1875
the question is looming up.

1t comes out that Colonel John Forney
received $4,000 o. the Pacific Mail cor

This must have been equal to Water

in Europe tarrying, and the $25, 900 would
be help in such case.
