Sir Wilfrd Lawson moved a reduction
of Mr.. Chamberlain's salary as a mark
of censure of his policy.
Mr.. Chamberlain replying. welcomed
the issue raised by the motion. which
he declared, meant that the war was
wrong and that consequently, annex

should be restored to them. In his
opinion. however, the war was just and
righteous and should not be judged by
its consequences in loss Of life.
Mr.. Chamberlain charged the Radi-
Gals with condoning rebellion. The pol

not vindictive and instead Of subject

imprisonment, it only proposed to dis

The manufacturers Of CaStoria have

thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature Of Chas. IL.

by reason OF pirates counterfeiting the

proprietors Of Castoria, but against
the growing generation. All persons

Judge Jackson's special term Of
court here, which adjourned last Fri
day, resulted in the naturalization OF
about 300 foreigners, mostly Italians.
They were mainly from Marion and
Taylor counties. 1t is charged that
democratic money brought them here

for their naturalization papers, in the
belief they were all democr is, but. 1t
Is asserted that great number OF
them will vote the republican ticket.

CHURCH AND MINISTRY
Viciously Attacked by the
News. the Democratic
Organ.

II nothing else could stamp as false
and ungrounded, the wild visionary
arrangement in last weeks News
against the leaders OF the republican
party. it is sufficient to condemn that
sheet to the memory OF allfuture time
by only calling attention to its accuse
tionagainst church and ministry for be-
ing parties to supposed bribery, orany
other low conceived trickery that the
News may see At to charge.
We can well see at this time why
the News would like to picture the
republican party as being corrupt and
dishonest, bun can not comprehend
their motive Ia accusing the church
of receiving revenue by any alleged
contributory licenses and encourage
ment on the part of its members for
violations of the law.
The church may decide whether the
article in the News is true taken in
part or whole.
