The Count de Paris, in leaving his native
country under the edict Of the Govern.
ment has published a MANIFESTO. The
people OF America will remember that dur
ing the days OF the civil war he served in
the army, Of the United States as an aid on
the staff Of General Mcclellan. Here b.
learned the rudiments OF Republicanism,
and while it is natural that he should as.
pire to a restoration OF his House to
power, there is nothing in his parting doc
ument to show that he is in,mical to the
Republic.

Two RICH Englishmen have subscribed
$3.50, 900 to help re-elect Mr.. Gladstone to
Parliament. This demonstrates two things
that the grand old man is not without
friends and that the politics OF England are
the most corrupt in the world. Think OF a
Congressiona candidate spending s25O,OOO
to secure reelection. The English press
should stop its criticism upon the corrup-
ton of American politics.

In her message d~isso1ving Parliament
Queen Victoria has met the issue boldly.
She states the facts as they are without
taking sides and challenges the electors to
settle the question of Home Rule. In this
she has by all odds given the advantage to
Mr.. Gladstone and his measure. While
such a course was hardly to have been ex-
pected, it will give great encouragement to
the friends OF Ireland throughout the
world.

Two Butte Thieves Lost in Coin to
Idaho.

This morning Sheriff Sullivan starts to
Mount Idaho, Idaho, for the purpose OF
bringing back two horse thieves who were
apprehended and are locked up there. The
men are named Swift and James, and some
time ago they stole eleven head of horses
from the ranch of Gaylord g. O'Donne!l. in
this county, and headed for Idaho. 1t is
said that the thieves had a terrible trip, hay
ing been lost on the road and nearly starved.
So great was their hunger that they first
killed and ate q dog that accompanied
them on their journey. and were then com.
PEELED to kill one OF the horses to sustain
life. When captured the two men were in
a horrible condition, but they have since
recovered,

Thieves Fooled.

Several nights ago George Hitler. the bar
keeper at the Pacific Saloon on Park street,
was surprised in going to the ice house in
the rear OF the saloon for a keg Of cool beer
to discover that it had been stolen. The
theft annoyed him but he determined to
get even. With this end in view he placed
an empty key in the same spot next night.
and it was in turn stolen but not carried
very far. The thieves are supposed to be
SO ne OF the buns who are now locked up
as y~agrants by the Sheriff.
The legend runs that when the dead King
Ludwig visited the Paris Exposition in
1867 he became ~passionately enamorei of
the Empress Eugene, and hat with the
impetuosity OF youth he did not sufficiently
hide his sentiments. Ii. a kiosk he often
sat with the beautiful woman. 1t IN said
that in accompanying him to the station
the Empress embraced him and hat after
that he never allowed the lips of another
woman to brush the place because it was
sore."

The story of the Custer massacre as told
by the Sioux Chief Gall is a late but most
valuable contribution to the history OF

Those who knew Reno in the war of the
rebellion knew him to be q gallant officer,
but the circumstances OF the massacre indi-
Gated that be had failed to do his duty.
From that day to this there has been a
cloud upon interpolation for bravery. He
has since done some indiscreet things for
which he has suffered but those Who fol-
lowed him in battle will be glad to know
that he did not desert Custer in that fear
full fight, but that he and his command
bore their full share ofthe conflict. It is to
the credit OF the army that this truth is
published even now Gall probably knows
as much about the matter as any living
save Sitting Bull, and he has ALWAYS
probably always will refuse to say
anything in regard to it.,

AFTER years Of abuse and obloouv
which he bore with patient fortitude, Fitz
John Porter is about to receive a vindi.
cation. In the mad and trying days of
the war when j~ealousies and suspicious
lowered over and about every man, he
was tried and disgraced. Since that hourhe
has had but one purpose in lie. roproveh his
innocence and have the wrong undone. The
battle has been a long one, but in the end
right has t%riumphed, and the Nation
through its representatives gives back to
the soldier his sword. No guilty man
would nave dared to face public %orinion in
search OF his honor, as has General Porter.
To the dead Grant more than to any ono
man does Porter owe his success. and f. 10
a matter OF regret that the great Gene,o,
did not live to see justice done the man
whose cause he SO manfulIy espoused. The
United States can surely be Just to its
heroes, and the passage OF the bill reierred
to is an act which, though long DELAYED 70.
fleets credit upon the Nation, and docs
to'one Of it's ablest defenders. That
