For our part, we sympathize
with Robinsop's resolution In Con-
gress. The salute to the British
flag at Yorktown was inexpressi-
bly, disgusting, although ordered
by President Arthur, whose birth
on American or British soil is a
matter of dispute. The whole
thing partakes of the toadyism OF
Cyrus w. Fields erection OF q
monument to the memory of Mejor
Andre. Both are simply utterly
outre, and alien to all wholesome
American instincts.

O blush, and we will show you o
man whose debauched conscience
has forgotten how to distinguish

the sake Of truth, honor and pub
lie virtue, may God speed the day
