passed some remarks on an article con-
tanned in the Denver Democrat. In re-
ply, that paper beats his Satanic majes-
ty all around the abbreviated tree,
when speaking Of war claims. 1t con-
cludes as follows.
The Leader further insists that If the
Democrat is interested in an economi-
| cal administration of the government
it should assail the extra session Of con
gress. This we have done and continue
| to do but find ourselves supported by
| the popular verdict that the entire
blame rests with the republican party
| which is trying to rob the people of
their most priceless priyileges-trial
by jury and the right of ballot. In the
face Of these considerations, cost is
nothing, but the circumstance that
that cost Is being enormously increased
by the radical determination to perpetu-
ate their iniquitous legislation is nelth-
er overlooked or forgotten.
Glad indeed are we to know that the
Democrat opposes the extra session.
But it should speak louder, A nan up
a tree can't hear it. AS to ''tbe popu-
lar verdict that the entire blame rests
with the republican party" ETC., we
are not so well satisfied. The Democrat
must get its verdict from the biased
portion of the populace. And then
the nonsense about the republican par
ty trying ,'to rob the people of trial by

when he determined on his policy Of
giving the south all that was asked.
Shortly after his Inauguration he gave
his views to the members of the cabi-
net and a few select friends. He con-
tended that the south would o i'm
prove in disposition toward
the north aver if all grounds
of complaint we're removed. That ar
rogance would continue to be the tone
of their action. That the rights of the
negro would not and could not be main
tanned but by the moral effect of troops
in nulldozed districts. That the south
wa bent upon ruling the country at
whatever cost. And also, that until all
these were proved the generous feeling
of the people would not be satisfied.
There was no way to demonstrate the
truth of the assumptions than to give
the south all that was asked.
Time has redeemed the presidents
position. By his action, and the in
creased arrogance of the south. the re-
publican party is solidly arrayed In de-
Tense. There are but two parties now
before the country, and all friends of
true, constitutional government will
find it easy to make a choice. While
the democratic party has always sun
ed to be par excellence the party of the
constitution, it is shown by the presi-
dent, in his veto message, that it is the
party to annul that instrument by sink
ing the duties of the executive which
are there plainly set forth. Hollow pre-
tense will not pass for virtue before in
telligent people, such as constitute this
republic. The president has pricked
the bubble, and the democratic party is
again under the necessity of putting it
self up to respectable dimensions. 1t
will not be at all strange il it initiate
the fate of the frog in the fable.

AND still the life insurance cor

AND still the life insurance companies
are fighting the heirs of Col. Dwight,
ex-mayor of Binghampton, n. Y. 1t
will be remembered that the colonel
died last fall, after having had his life
insured for a quarter million OF dol
lars. An autopsy was made in Novem-
Der last, and it was unsatisfactory to
the insurance companies because it
failed to demonstrate any evidence Of
suicide. Recently another examination
was made, and the physicians employed
by the companies are satisfied that they
have found good proof of suicide. Mark
the discovery crease was found in
the neck, and this was said to be evil
dence of hanging. Much excitement
prevails at Binghampton. Public opin.
ion there sustains the memory of the
deceased colonel. !.

Now Gen. Garfield's hour of triumph
is approaching. During the last session
Of congress, when a disagreement on
the army appropriation bill was newt
able, Gen. Garfield proposed that the
last years appropriation be extended to
December 3lst, thus rendering an extra
session unnecessary. But the brigadiers
would have nothing short of an extra
session, to manufacture thunder for the
next presidential campaign. Now they
repent, and are disposed to adopt Gar
fields suggestion. Speaker Randall is
in favor of this plan, and other leaders
are known to assent. If it be adopted,
the republicans a point out the fact
that the extra session was entirely un-
necessary, and the democrats will ad-
NIT the charge unqualifiedly by such
action. No matter how they move OF
squirm, the extra ~sessionists are bound
to be enclosed in a political hole. Now
for some vigorous confederate yells.
