INSULTING ROYALTY.

Torture and Death Used to Be the
Price For This rsstino.
People who went out Of their way
to libel their sovereign in days gone
by did not usually yet off 50 tightly as
did the defendant III 4 recent notorious
case.
Tor instance. Leigh Hunt. the IA
nous essayist and poet. was sent to
prison for two years exactly twice
the length Of Myths term-for calling
George ". "a fat Adonis of fifty.
And George was not even king at the
time, only regent.
Going back further stiil, we find
John Stubbs, a student Of Lincolns
Inn, arrested for libeling Queen Eliza
beth. He was sentenced to have his
right hand cut off, and the barbarous
punishment was inflicted in public in
the market place at Westminster by
driving cleaver through the wrist
with a mallet.
Then there was that unhappy Wal
ter Walker, grocer, at the Sign OF the
Grown, who said be would make his
son heir to the crown. When Edward
w. was told of this merry jest he or
dered Walker to be arrested and put
to death for treason.
Almost as hard was the fate of the
Buckinghamshire churl who, drinking
one day in a village ale house. spoke
disrespectfully of Henry VIII. King
Hail." he hiccoughed, is no true king.
Would I had his crown here that 1
might play football with it," The Ii
beler was hanged, drawn and quar-
tered, and pieces of his body were dis
tributed as warning among the mar
ket towns Of the county.
In the reign of Charles l. an indi-
yidual published a seditious libel con-
corning his majesty The book. con-
tanning the libel was burned before his
face by the common hangman. while
its author stood in the pillory in two
places, having an ear cut off at eacn.
He wore a paper on this head describ-
ing the offense, was ordered to pay
fine of $4,000 and suffer perpetual inn
prisonment.

serious Coupling with this misunder-
standing the claim Of Senior Liman-

can men and money fomented and
have kept alive the Mexican rebellion
and taking into account the capture
OF American combatants at Casas
Grandes and elsewhere, il begins TO
seem that we are more deeply involved
in the affair than at first appeared.
The American people awakened to
the seriousness of the situation when
