The horrible butchery Of human beings

The horrible butchery Of human beings
in Burmah. by order of the dissolute
monarch King Theebaw, is sickening TO
contemplate. To crafty a superstitious
within, 700 men. women and children have
been buried alive, and more sacrifices are
to follow. The idea that such barbarisms
are tolerated in this age seems almost
incredible and yet the facts are undenia5le
It is time that enlightened Europe inter
posed to put stop TO these wholesale
murders, and the debauched heather
Theebaw taught that, even in unenlight-
ened Burmah, such atrocities cannot be
permitted.

The effect of the exodus 10 just begin
ming to be felt 10 Kansas. and in q way
that has caused some of the staiwarts OF
that state to pause and consider, 1t is
now demonstrated that the negroes are
ayerse to gong on farms, but prefer to
hang about the towns aud cities, aud seem
to be Impressed with the idea, that they
are 10 Kansas for the purpose of being
supported by the government. The effect
is being felt in decreased white emigration,
thousands passing By Kansas. and going to
Nebraska and other states where negroes
are less numerous. The Republicans who
originated the exodus for political purpo

cess which attends the Republican party
in many localities is the splendid organize
ton in their ranks. Itsis well enough to
state the case plainly and not disguise the
true situation, so that Democrats will
understand exactly the position they oc'
cupy. The state central committee plan
of organization is excellent. land if followed
up, will result in success in Illinois, but it
caunot:b be expected that an unorganized
Democracy, can control against an organic
ed Republican party-and win. IF the Demo
Gratis expect to win they must organize.
ASIAN instance of the good effects of the
club system, Pike county affords hne
example. This coun ~ last year was bad
by broke up, because of no organization.
This year, however, the Democrats OF the
county organized on sound basis. and as
a result the Democrats elect their town
tickets throughout the entire county.
While 1t does not follow that the same
excellent results could be attained every
where, it is as certsin as two and two
make four. that the Republican majority
in Illinois can be loiped out if the Democ-
racy organize. There is no time for delay
the tine to go to work is soto II we
are organized for the 1880 campaign, we
can carry Illinois. 1t Is certainly worth
trying for. therefore let US, as Democrats,
90 to cork, and by an organized effort
secure the prize,

The statesman like action of the Demo
cratic representatives in Congress il
refusing to be led into debate on the army
bill, contrasts well with the blatant. dema
gogical howIings of the Republican bloody
sbirters,and the people will not be slow &c
judge who are the best conseryators OF the
public good. Notwithstanding the mean
eat .tauuts and wholly uncaIIed tor sar
casms of such blatherskites as Conger, the
Democrats remained silent. The Repub-
lican hOwlers can keep on paving the air,
and rehashing the worn arguments, as
usual, but the Democracy retain their
self-rcspect and will gain the confidence OF
the masses of the people. by their course.
Let the stalwarts go ou, If they wish. they
can do harm except to themselves and

period last year, and IS, 1925 have arrived

ceived letter from Abrsm S. kHewitt,
late chairman of the Democratic national
committee. which fully Hexonerates MIR.
Finley from any completely with Tliden,
and pays Mr.. Finley very high tribute
as a man of honor. Mr.. Hewitt's letter is
as follows:
New York. April $40 IL, n. Finley:
NY Dear Sir-Your favor of the 9th inst.
is received. very much regret that this
difficulty with Mr.. Springer has occurred.
The effect of these everlasting quarrels
between democrats is apt to destroy the
confidence of the public il the capacity of
the democratic party for self government,
had already written MIR. Springer that
you had never claimed to represent Mr..
Tilden, and that you had written me a
letter which plainly showed that your
relations with him did not enable you to
get bis views, and / have sent him copy
| of your letter. so that there will be nc
excuse hereafter for charging you with
being representative of Tilden. Ii you
desire. | will cheerfully bear testimony to
the fact that you served the national COM
mittee web and faithfully in 1876; that
your relations were of the most confideu'
tial character; that yoG never abused con-
fdence which was reposed 10 you, and
that what money you expended was fully
accounted for and with scrupulous hdel
ity. Yours truly,

Mrs. Albion K PARIS

A Washington correspondent of the Chris
tian Mirror says that the widow of Hon. Al
bion K. Paris, Ex-Governor of Maine; has re-
sided in Washington since 1886, and although
now 95 years of age, is still physically strong
and active, has very good health, and in all
ordinary conversation is animated and intelli-
gent, and takes very large interest in the or
dinary concerns and news of the day. Till
within very few years she was constant in
her attendance at church, preserving to the
very last custom she and her husband were
ssngularly faithful to-.
Mrs Paris can now talk with vivacity about
Lafayette's visit to Portland, and even vet has
many little tokens and remembrances of that
distinguished mau. 1t used to be said that La
fayette left Portland to 60 westward, on a
Sabbath morning, and that Gov Paris noti-
fed the committee who had the visitors affairs
in charge, that it was his custom to worship
God on Sunday, and if Gen. Lafayette saw fit
to leave Portland on that day, the Executive
of the State could pay him no official respect at
his departure.
She can talk with interest and animation
about Washington of two-score years ago, and
add fact and anecdote about Van Buren,, John
Quincy Adams (who was their next door
neighbor for many years. Webster, Tyler,
President and Mrs. Polk, and all the noted
men and personages of about those years.
