4 Rad ical Remedy Demanded.

The trial and conviction OF Ser
geant Mason In time OF profound
peace by Court Martial, Tor shooting
st Guiteau, is crime which should
not go unrehuked by the people: and
the men who have usurped and as
sumed to exercise jurisdiction to
hear, try and determine the case,
should DO disgraced and dismissed
from the public service. fined and
imprisoned. There can be no ques-
ton but that the trial by court mar
tial was in plain and unmistakable
violation OF Section 9, Article 8, OF
the constitution and also OF Articles
5 and 6 OF the Amendments to the
constitution.
Sergeant Mason's offence was
simply an assault with intent to COM
init great body harm, or murder il
you please. For this crime he should
have been proceeded against by in
dictment in the district where the
offence was alleged to have been
committed; the trial should have
been by jury Of his countrymen In
which he should have been permit
ted to exhaust the challenges against
the panel or individual members Sc
cured to every criminal by law. and
exercised to the fullest extent by the
murderer at whom he is alleged tc
have shot.
We are not writing in the interes,
OF yiola.ors Of law: II We were VIZ
should speak III defence OF the cour
which tried and sentenced Mason, OF
else in limitation OF republican
editors, pass by their crime in ma
jestic silence.
Every citizen should be protected
in the full enjoyment Of every con
stitutional right. and this protection
i,nplies punishment to every person
no matter what his Office or station

struction which statesmen grown
since the republican party came Into

To rererse this is an inherent right

road and telegraph, constructed with
their money and that it reclaim for
the people every foot Of the land do

eminent capitalists to the owner
ship Of innocent purchasers, and that
those sold on time and nortgaged to
the eminent robbers be released and
discharged from all lien for their
purchase money, II the land Is In
possession OF an actual settler. This
would not be robbery because these
eminent capitalists have already
received for the use Of this road
built with the peoples money t,ro
hundred million dollars, not one
cent OF which was, or is, legitimately
theirs. The latest scheme to rob the
people for the benefit Of eminent
robbers" called capitalists is the bill
before congress TO incorporate the
enter Oceanic Ship Railway Com
pany. Government: aid Is asked as
in the Union Pacific Railway, which
means that the government unite
