Snow- den was under $250 bail for agsulting Mr. Allen, a week or so ago, and had made threats against Attorney Arndt and A. H. Sniff, editor of the News.

Snowden then atened to shoot any one who inte in the least, He suid he wouldn't be_arrested, and would shoot the first officer who made the attempt. Two or three warrants were sworn out for Lis arrest and put in the hands of Constables Asp and Danicls, but neither of them had the nerve to makie the arrest or summon aid for that purpose, and the man walked the streets making threats until the arrival of the sheriff at 5 p. m. e The Forefathers' Day Banquet.

The faith of the Loyal Legion is that uni versal suffrage is essentiul to liberty, and that there can be no fitting exercise and 1 full enjoyment of the right of suffrage with- out universal education. The w nations around us with whom we deal—the Indians, the children of misfortunc, of poverty, of evil habits and of erimo, who are at all ' our doors—the faith we learn in_school of war with respect to tnem all, is that they are the offsprmg of our common father, and that social distinction, wealth, learning, and other advantages outside of character were of little avail in that bloody trial, and that eyerything there deferred to manhood. Thereforé we would inculcate sympathy with manliood, and respeet for manhood, wherever it is found. Above all, our faitk is in America and Amorican priticiples.

W import from Europe aliogether 0o muuy. We believe in the American home, and in the character and virtue of American women, which make American homes happy. When ' the great trial came, and calamity was to be met and sacrifices made, Mr. Lincoln could say: “If all that has been suid by orators and_poets siuce the creation of the world in praise of women were applied to the women of America, it would not do them justico for their conduct during the war.’ God bless the women of America, Finaily, onc of the mistakes of the rebel- lion was 'to unduly exalt what they called the *‘sovercign states.’” They thouzht cach stute should its own flag. kach would represent a scparate government, and all of m would wave belplessly and miserably over “states discordant, cred, and beliizerent.” The faith of the Loyal Legion is the revers, of all this. We beliove that the whole of the American republic—every state, 1 every aere in every state—belongs to ond flaz, the old flag, the stars and stripes, the flag'of Washington und Lincoln, the flag of the United States.
