The disloyal element Of the state

are in favor of putting the whole

We are also in favor Of using the fir

Down With the Knockers.
The Chicago Tribune, in it's persis-
tent howl that the "war is failure"
and in it's senseloss attack on the war
department and the administration,
promises to put itself in the same un-
enviable category as the New York
Tribune, which in the civil war overdid
it's disagreements with Mr.. Lincoln to
the extent that it proved the undoing
Of its able editor, Horace Greeley. The
civil war was not a failure. Neither is
the present war, nor the preparation
for it, as the Tribune would quickly
see if it possessed more perspicacity
and less biliousness. If everybody
croaked as does this organ of personal
grievance and self-importance it would
not take long to make the war a fail
