Osborne and Isaac Osborne, two
brothers, where the distillery was
situated. William Osborne re
ported the distillery to the officials

Wiseman and -Snipes suspected
Isaac Osborne as the informer. On
. the night of August '-'7 they went to
the house of Isaac Osborne, armed
with rifles, and called him up. II
came to the door and the culprits
opened fire, almost riddling him
with bullets. Wiseman and Snipes
were arrested, but sufficient evi
deuce could not but lie obtained
against AVisemau and he was re

THE YEAR JUST PAST.
A Short Review of The Year
1 892 A Successful
Country.
I 892.
Another year has joined the pro
cession of the ages. It has
been pre-eminently a year of peace,
and in our own country a year of
unprecedented material prosperity
American industry has flourished
as never before in our history, la
bor has received a larger reward
and capital has been tempted by
the prospect of remunerative re
turns in new and profitable fields,
says the New York Press. The
pol icy of the protect ion of A inerican
labor against the free competition
of ill paid foreign production has
been abundantly vidicated by the
results that are manifest through
out the land, that are not confined
to the East or West, but carry com
fort and indtpendence to every cor
norofthe Union. The result of the
election of November S has not
shaken the adherence of the repub
lican party to the principle of
American industrial independence.
The fritnds of protection, undis
mayed by the, recent check, pro
pose to begin at once a campaign
of instruction and aggression
which shall end in the complete
triumph of republican principles
and polices in 1WX1. Under republi
can rule the U. S. has proven
its title, not alone as the leading re
public, but as the leading nation of
the world in intelligent and vigor
ous population, as well as in wealth
and resources. The close of lH',r
tiiKls it in the van of human
gress.
pro-
On the American continent es
pecially the position of the United
Stales is at once commending and
gratifying. The people nf Canada
have been taught a useful lesson
by our protective turilf. They have
discovered that there is but one
way in which to enjoy unrestricted
trade with tile people of the United
States, and that the only alternative
to 8tgnatiou and proverty is an en
tcrence on equal and honorable
terms into the great sisterhood of
American commonwealths. The
annexation senation in Canada was
never so strong as it is today, and
the indications are that January, 1
W4, will find it a powerful, if not a
controlling, factor in the politics, of
the dominion. The republics to
the south of us have shown
repeated acts and declarations that
they regard the United, States as a
friend and protector. The feelings,
of jealousy and aversion installed
into our Spanish-Amerieau neigh
bors by Europans interested in de
ceiving them have largely di.i.
peared. and our ffllow AmerK.ans
are becoming convinced th.M the
United States is too magnanimous
to lie covetous and i,.o formidable
to be defied.

Il.n i i.-on today issued the follow
ing proclamation:
WiiiA'K As, congress, by a statute
approved March 22, IS'I.', and by
statutes in fureuee and amend
ment thereof, defined the crimes of
bigamy, polygamy and unlawfully
cohibitatiou in the territories, an 1
in other places within the Slates.
and prescribed a penally for such
crime.-; and
Wlli-k'KAs, On or about (lie sixth
day of October, JsiC, the church of
the latter day saints, commonly
known as the Mormon church,
through its president, issued a
manifesto proclaimiu the purpose
of said church iki longer to sanc
tion the practice of polygamous
marriages, and calling upon all
members and ad'ierants of said
church to obey the laws of the
United States in referencs to said
subject matter; and
WliKK'liAS, It is represented that
since the date of said declaration
the members and adherants of said
church have generally obeyed said
laws and have abstained from plu
ral marriages and polygamous co
habitation; and
WllEKEAs, By a petition dated De
ccmbcr 10, 1SD2, the officials of said
church, pleged the membership
thereof to a faithful obidence of the
laws against plural marriages and
unlawful exhibitions, have applied
to me to grant amnesty for past
of'lienses against said laws, which
rcqust a very large number of in
fluential non-Mormons residing in
the territories have also strongly
urged and
WhkkEas, the Utah commis
sioners, in its report bearing date
September 1.1, 1S!U, recommends
that said petition be granted and
said amnesty proclaimed, under
proper conditions as to the future
observance of the law, with a view
to the encouragement of those now
disposed to become law-abiding
citi.ens; and
WltKRKAs, During the past two
years such amnesty has been grant
ed to individual applicants in n
very large number of cases, condi
tioned upon the faithful observ
ance of the laws of the United
States against unlawful cohabita
tion, and there are now pending
many more such applications.
Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Har
rison, president of the United States
by virtue of the power in me Vested
do hereby declare and grant a full
amnesty and pardon to all persons
liable to the penalties of said acts
by reason of unlawful cohabitation
under the color of polygamous or
piur.u marriages who have since
November 1, IS') abstained from
such unlawful cohabitation, but
upon thi express condition that
they shall in the future faithfully
obey the laws of the United States
hereinbefore named and not other
wise. Those who shall fail to avail
then'iselves of the clemency hereby
offvred will be vigorously prose
cMted. In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.

Rome is the liasco of Monsigneur

brusque manner has excited the
discontent of the American bishops
who have caused the curia to under
