The Chicago Mail celebrated its first

THE Kansas City Journal says that the
will of Mrs. Clovoland's grandfather
EIVCS her a legacy of f 0,000 , and it adds
that "it is with a feeling of regret , however -
over , wo learn that the money is invested
in Omaha city property. " Kansas City
evidently needs that ? 0,009 , anii
bcnco the regret. Incidentally , how
ever , it might bo stated , by
way of correction , that Mrs. Clove-
land's legacy will be nearer f 00,000. and
Jf it is permitted to remain invested in
Omaha real estate it will soon reach
' $000,000. This will very comfortably
provide for the Cleveland family , after

JN 1870 the assessed valuation of Doug-
Una county was a fraction over ! J13,000,000.
W.o have just about reached tlio same
figures in 1830. The improvements in
olid brick and stone , in railroads , water
works , pavements , packing houses , fac
tories and mills have raised property val-
vUO.i from ftvo to ton times what they wore
Iflftoon years ago. The contrast is so
jrlnring that oven the worst tax-shlrkors
iCnnuot apologize for it. Tlio personal
property returns nre oven worse tlian
< the realty assessments. Men who hold
( bonds and mortgages by tlio hundreds of
thousands make no returns of their loans.
* While the present system of assess
ment is largely rcsponsiblo tot this state
of facts , the parties who cover up their
wealth under all sorts of pretexts should
bo brought'to a proper accounting. Thn
Jjurdon of taxation should bo equalized.
iFouTicAi , affairs in Massachusetts have

Authenticated report that General Duller

Fifteen Vcnrs.
Fifteen y-ara ago to-day the DAILY DEI
made its first appearance in the streets o
Omaha in the shape of a two-pngo frc <
advertising sheet , No prospectus nn
nounced its ' 'coming to slay , " and no
body expected that it would live ninet ;
days.
To-day the BEE ranks among the grca
dailies of America. Its position as tin
lcading.Journ.il of this city and scctioi
'has been firmly maintained fo
years. Its circulation is not clrcum
scribed by the boundaries of Ihi
stale , but extends through wcsten
Iowa and the territories to the west. It
success has been achieved after a mos
protracted struggle for supremacy in tin
faco-of obstacles almost insurmountable
In every political conflict that has con
yulscd Nebraska during the past fiftcoi
years the DEE has been fore
most as the champion of popula
rights and the staunch advocate of ncodui
reform i.
Being one of the very few papers it
this country that have remained mule
the same control from the beginning , 1
has pursued a considtant and nggresslvi
policy which has won for it the popula
confidence. To Ihls fact , as much as l (
any other cause , ils success must bo at
trlbtitcd.
Gladstone In Scot Intnl.
All must ngreo that it is a grand exam
pie of devotion and loyalty to a grea
cause which Mr. Gladstone presents ii
again assuming the arduous labors am
obligations of a campaign at his time o
life , and immediately after the severely
exacting and wearing contest in parlia
ment. The "grand old man" is sovera
years beyond the allotted span of throi
score and ten , more than half a century
of which has been passed in the activi
duties of public life , during much o
which time lie has been required to bcai
all the heavy responsibilities and labor :
of leadership. It might bo supposed thai
ho would now be willing to commit U
other and younger hands the hard worl
of contention and conflict , finding i
sufilcient for himself to provide tin
ammunition of warfare and direc
the forces under his command
But Mr. Gladstone is of the clasi
of masterly men who leave uothin .
to chance , and with whom the call o
duty , however great the labor and the
responsibility it involves , is more
potential than all the considerations o
mere personal welfare. Ho understand :
that however well some other man when
ho should select to be his mouthpiece
performed the work committed to him
there would still bo wanting the mighty
Influence of his personality , which ii
hardly loss powerful than the wisdom o :
his words. It is not enough that the
people know that Mr. Gladstone is tin
source of every great liberal thought and
nrinclplo that is addressed to thorn
they must sco the man , whom every tnu
Englishman , whatever his political bias
is glad to honor as the forouiost.states
man of his time.
The demonstrations of popular enthu
siasm which greeted Mr. Gladstone or
Thursday all along his route to Scotland
abundantly testified to the strong hold he
still lias upon the respect and confidence
of the people , and illustrate the wisdom
of his being at the front in the contest
now begun. No one less stronc and able
than this veteran of a score of hard-
fought battles could bo safely trusted
with command in the field at this time.
With Gladstone in the saddle , the liberal
forces will bo inspired with a courage
and faith they would not otherwise feel ,
As to the character of the campaign
which the premier will open on
next Tuesday at Glasgow , it is
evidently not to be ono of buncombe so
far as ho is concerned. His platform is so
simple and direct that the least intelli
gent among the voters of Great Britain
cannot misapprehend it. It is embraced
in the single question , Shall Ireland bo
allowed to manage her own affairs , or
continue to be governed by a policy of
imperial coercion ? And for the answer
Mr. Gladstone appeals' to the British
souse of justice , and points to the opinion
of the world in support and justification
ot his cause. It may bo idle to figure on
results , but the contest Is ono of para
mount interest to all.mankind.
Ilcpnlrliif ; tlio Forts.
The passage of the senate bill appro
priating $200,000 for the enlargement and
repair of Forts Hobmson , JJiobrara and D.
A. Kusscll is prompt response to the de
mands of the settlers of northwostoin Ne
braska for increased protection on the
southern border of the Sioux reserve.
The first two named posts occupy the
points of vantage in that section , and
Fort llobinson is specially important as
the sentinel garrison which guards the
Indian trail to the southwest from Pine
Ridge ngoncy.
The semite bill should now bo strongly
pushed by the Nebraska members In
tlie house and urged to a speedy passage ,
The house measure for tlio same object
was choked oft' by press of business some
weeks ago , and now lies in the pigeonhole -
hole of tlio committee on military iilVuiis.
The opportunity is now offered to the
Nebraska delegation to accomplish the
same results by securing the passage of a
measure which already has passed the
upper houso.
There should bo united work on the
part of our delegation for this purpose.
Since tlio change of administration at
Pine Hidgo the settlers on the northern
frontier are more than usually uneasy.
The call for the rebuilding of the decayed
garrisons on our northern frontier is ur
gent and pressing. It cannot bo met too
soon or liberal appropriations for the
purpose provided too quickly.
Tin : action of the mob at Hushvillo in
tarring and feathering a man who had
contested a laud claim reminds the old
settlers of Nebraska very much of the
proceedings of the Omaha claim club
during the.years 18.51-57 , when men were
choked , diu-ked , beaten , expelled , and
threatened with death if they did not give
up their claims when they came in con
flict with those of the claim club ,
YEAIW ago , when wo first began to ad
yocato the re-survey and mouumentlngof
the city , a great hue and cry was raised
by designing parties against the project.
They pretended to sco a great job in it
for the bcnelit of the city engineer , arid a
plot to dispossess property owners of the
ground which they had acquired by pur
chase. Now wo nro pleased lo notice the
marked change iu public sentiment on
Lhls mailer. It is now conceded that n
great blunder was committed in neglect
ing to procure & reliable survey ami a
fixing of boundaries which would proven
variations on the part of survoj-ors whlci
are often the cause of expensive law
suita , The council has taken the firs
steps to comply with the law passed b ;
the last legislature , and in the nc.i :
future thomctcsand bounds of the street
of OniAlm lots will bo definitely estab
lishcd. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Mit. RANDALL , not Inaptly called UK
"Judas" of democracy , sat serenely com
posed when the vote was taken In the
house on Thursday on the question o
considering the Morrison tariff bill , ind !
eating by his manner his entire confl
deuce in the result and his self-satisfac
tion with what ho had done to brinf
about that result , while the clerical-
looking McKinley , of Ohio , presented r
picture of absolute complacency anil
unconcern. Those adroit champions ol
the tariff lind certainly done their worl <
well , and are entitled to the satisfaction
of their temporary triumph. Meanwhile
Morrison has given notice that ho wll
renew the clfort to have his bill consid
ered on next Tuesday , not because In
expects It will meet with anj * bettor for-
Itino Ihcro , but to more surely brani
those democrats who in voting againsi
its consideration repudiated the pledge
of their parly to give tlio country tnrif
reform.
THE Florida Times-Union has the cor
reel Idea of what tlio advertiser buys. II
says lhat the rule by which every grcai
and successful advertiser or advertising
agent shapes his business course , ami
whtcli every business man should keep ii

mcnt ho is buying , not space , but ctrcttla
tion. Tlio advertisers who patronize the

THE cable railway company can hardly
afford to locate its cast and west line or
any oilier street than Farnam. It maj
in duo time reach Dodge street when thai

line should bo located with a view of ac
commodating trallio now existing , am

OMAHA is now manufacturing half ti
million of brick a day. At this rate om
brickyards will turn out 60,000,000 , bricli
Ibis year , against 12,000,000 in 183o. Will :
such a supply our builders will bo able It
secure an abundance of brick at reason
able prices. Heretofore there has bcnn n
brick famine in Omaha every spring , and
many building projects have been aban
doncd on that account.
His excellency , our governor , has ex
perienced a great swelling of the head ,
Mr. Gladstone did it wilh his little letter ,
Tlio next time he buys ( i hat he will have
lo get a No. 7. His former size was No. OJ.
WHEN the board of trade celebrates the
completion of its building there will bo a
very full attendance , and no five-dollar
fines will be imposed.
AT the rate that now packing houses
are being built in this vicinity , Omaha

ELEVEN feet of rotten planks and four

Other Lands Than Ours.
The manifesto of Mr. Gladstone to his
Midlothian constituents was promulgated
on last Monday , and was immediately
followed by similar appeals from the
leaders of other political parties in Eng
land. On Thursday Mr. Gladstone took
his departure for Scotland , whore ho will
open his campaign , at Glasgow , on next
Tuesday. Ho was received at every point
along tlio route with the most enthusias
tic demonstrations of popular regard.
Ho is , as usual , accompanied by Mrs.
Gladstone. The conservatives selected
as the opponent of Mr. Gladstone Colonel
Campbell Walker , who issued an address
to tlio Scotch constituency. There is
great animation throughout political cir
cles in great Britain , and the campaign
promises to bo ono of the hottest and
angriest contests over known.

Parliament reassembled on Thursday ,
and it is expected it will ho dissolved on
Iho 2Glh inst. Whenever dissolution docs
take place the law requires that writs
shall bo issued Iho same day or the follow
ing one lo sherills and mayors , who are
Iho chief election olllcord in England ,
directing them to hold elections and fix
on places of polling. The mayor or the
sheriff , as the case may bo , will then give
notice of a day for the nomination of
candidates , which must bo within eight
days of the receipt of the writs. Where
there is no opposition a nomination
elects ; where there is opposition , the
election day in the case of boroughs must
take place within tiiroo days of the
nomination ; in the case of counties within
five days , The writs will probably bo
issued in London the 27th inst , They
will reach the English returning officers
the same day or the next one ; they will
roach most of the Irish and Scotch officers
before the 30th inst. Nominations can
therefore commence the 1st of July and
elections tlio following day. The last
elections , except that which occurs in the
Orkney and Sholhuul islands , which it
takes Iho writ about four days to roach at
this season , will bo over about the lath of
July. The general result will bo known
as early as the 7lh of July.

The sonsalion of tlio week has boon the
deposition and suicide of King Ludwig ,
of Bavaria. A decree of deposition was
promulgated on tlio 10th , but it was
not carried into effect until the 12th.
Tlio decree deposing Ludwig declared
Prince Luitpold , Iho king's uncle , regent ,
anrt ho was subsequently confirmed as
such. The natural heir to Iho throne is
Louis' brother , Prince Otho , who was
born al Munich , April 27 , 1819. But ho
is ineligible , having for years been under
ward as a hopeless lunatic. The regent ,
Prince Luitpold , born at Wurzburg ,
March 12 , 1831 , is a distinguished officer
of the Bavarian and Gorman armies. Ho
is married to the Princess Auarustn , arch-
[ luehcss of Austria , and by bur has had
three sons and u daughlor. The oldest
af Ihese sons will probably succeed to
Iho Bavarian tlirono. '

Turkey is at the present moment utlcrl ;
and completely crippled by the rcccn
Bulgarian and Greek troubles , whlci
have nccessitalcd her keeping a largi
portion of her army on a war footing fo
the past ton months. Naturally Kussli
desires to lake advantage of thcso pollli
cal ilifilciiUies which , by diminishing hei
fears , gave her a greater in
clinalion to pluck laurels a
Turkey's expense. Moreover tin
czar's government has reason to be
Hove that just at present it is not likol ;
to be hampered iu its designs by the interference
torforonco of any of the olhor Europoai
powers. England is entirely engrossoi
in the consideration of her Irish dilllcul
tins , which for some lime to como wll !
monopolize her attention to the exclu
sion of foreign polilies. Austria intend.-
either by friendly or hostile means lo got
hold of Salonica and is therefore inter
ested in the downfall of the sultan's gov
eminent. Germany will not interfere
for Prince Bismarck watches with mucl
satisfaction all extension eastward of the
Russian and Austrian empires which ncc
essarily weaken their position factor ;
in tlio politics of Central Europe. As ti
France , her sympathies are all in favoi
of Russia , on whoso assistance slit
counts iu her next war wilh Germany.
Austria has a considerable claim against
Turkey which she appears disposed vr.
look after , and she jvilL- probably not be
an unknown qiutnlity in any complica

The Island of Skiatiios commands the
entrance to the Bay of Salonica , and still

Our Baby.
Fml A. ITiml.
A very small man In a great many clothes ,
With skin just as red as was over arose ;
And hands full ot dimples , that are clutch
ing the air ,
And eyes of deep blue , with an unmeaning
stnro.
* * * K * *
But that very small man , "how largo Is his
realm ,
And how balmy the breeze when ho stands al
the helm ;
While how quickly o'crcast-bccomc the hoinn
skies
When the little man's voice Is uplifted in
cries.
In his dress only mothers can imagine how
rich
In hopes and lontt pravers was taken each
stitch ;
While the motherly love breathed into that
dress
Hovers over our boy like an angel's caress ,
And a rose not a flower "by the calm Ben-
dcemer"
Was over of our very small man the peer ;
And no perfume of Araby ever bocuiles
-The' senses' like ono ol" our little man's
smiles.
His hands , though so fecblo , can sweep o'er
our hearts
A "song without words" whoso ihymo never
departs ;
Whoso melody surges and never abates
Till it breaks into hymns at the greatpearly |
gates.
In the blue of his eyes Is an ocean of love
That roaches from us to our Father above ;
Whereon argosies sail , only fieighted with
joy.
And prayers for the welfare of our little boy.
BURIED'AT SEA.
Sudden Death of a Well Known Ung-
Clfsh liaely.
Special dispatch to the Globe-Demo
crat , from Philadelphia , Juno 15th :
When the steamer Lord Gough swung
into the dock at the American company's
wharves to-Uay , Mr. George W. Chillis'
eagerly scanned the faces of tlio passen
gers , expecting to behold that of u lady
who was to bo the iniest of Mrs. Childs'
at his country seat , Wotton. Vainly ho
looked the passengers over , but the lady
was missing. When the vessel was made
fast to the wharf Mr. Childs quickly wont
on board and sought Captain Hughes ,
thinking perhaps the lady was still in her
stateroom. In reply to Mr. Childs' inquir
ies concerning the whereabouts of Miss
Margaret Jones of London , tho. lady
whom the publisher expected to mecl ,
Captain Hughes said that she died at sea
on last Wednesday , the ilth inst. , and
that her boely had been consigned to a
watery grave. This unexpected news
was quite a shook lo Mr. Childs , as prep
aration had been made for a round of en
joyments for the distinguished lady. Re
gret was expressed at the failure of the
siiip's ollicor to bring the remains lo Iho
shore , Tha ship's surgeon stated that
when Miss Jones reached Queonstown ho
noticed' that she was ill , nnd counseled
against her taking a sen voyage. The
lady , however , refused to leave the
slc-amor , stilling that she was strong
enough to stand the rigors of the trip.
Miss Jones minded constant attention ,
and on the ! ) th inst. succumbed lo
bronchitis. When Iho remains of
the lady were consigned to the
ocean tlio Episcopal service for the
dead nnd oilier religious ceremonies
were observed. After the recital of the
sad storv Mr. Childs returned to the city
nnd cabled to the lady's relatives in
London. Miss Jones was a prominent
wealthy lady anil a near relative of the
lale Lord Catlhncss. A strange fatality
ieems to Imvo been connected with this
family. Lord Caithness died al Iho Fifth
Avenue Hotel. New York , a year ngo ,
soon afler hir arrival in this country ,
while on nis way to this city to visit Mr.
[ Jiiilds. Ludy Clniro. a daughter of Lord
Caithness , recently visited Philadelphia ,
ind died shortly after her departure from

The Narrative and Critical History i
America.
A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION
Notes of Other Now Hooks an
Publications A Good Novel
"Tho Man Who Wns
Guilty. "
Houghton , Mlfllln & Co. , of Bostot
have recently Issued the second velum
of "Tlio Narrative and Critical lllslor
of America , " ediled by Juslin Wlnsoi
This volume covers Iho Spanish cxplorr
lions nnd sottleMiicnts In America froi
the Fifteenth to the Seventeenth contur.i
It is not saying too much that in scop
and method this work so far Is the grea <
est contribution that has been made t
the literature of our hislory. Whilst i
is of a high literary excellence , It cor
talus a vast fund of Information nc
found compiled In any other America
historical work. This history Is a cc
operative work. Mr. Winsor's plan i
based upon n most scrupulous ai
crediting to ouch co-worker his over
line and word. This history deals wit
the two Americas , from the oariios
period lo which surmise can reach , lo th
generation that tells the talc. Of th
eight stout volumes wo are told to o >
pect , those at present published , th
second , third , and fourth , re Into lo th
discoveries and sclllcmcnlR of the Span
ish , English , and French ; thn later vol
tunes will continue the narrative , whll
the first will handle thn aboriginal his
lory of Ihe continent , as well as 111
slningo , fascinating story of the pro-Col
umbian discoveries , and that dim hall
knowlcdgo of the existence of a wcslori
world which haunts nil llies earlier ecu
turics of hislory. This volume will b
among Iho last to appear , in order tha
full use may be made of the present stud ;
of our nalive ethnology nnd arohtuolosy
when every year is diving what , bcfon
the war , a decade failed to give.
The method of construction insistc (
upon in Iho felicitous title , 'Narrativi
nnd Critical History of America' ; UK
coupling with each narrative chapter :
ohapler descriptive at length of tin
sources of information upon which tin
narrative was based , and of their com
parutivo value this is Iho feature of thi
book. The seconel volume , which lie ,
before us , opens with Iho voyage o
Columbus and closes wilh lhat of Mugol
lun. In turning tlio pages there appear ;
to be about as much "critical matter ii
small type as narrative matter in largci
typo. Another llnnc strikes us at tin
examination : editorship , as Mr. Winsoi
understands it , is no child's play. O
the G17 pageH in tlie volumes ( exclusivi
of the index ) some 810 are from his pen
and very many of the others bear trace :
of his care. Ho has written the chapter :
upon Columbus and Cortes , and tlio crit
ical chapter on Vespucci , and about al
thoi cartographical matter. Tlie othoi
writers and their subjects are as follows
Sydney Howard Gay takes .Vespucci , ane
Dr. Edward Channing the oilier
followers of Columbus ; Dr. John G
Shea wrilcs of Ancient Florida , of l'onc (
do Leon , Do Soto , and Iho traircdy 01
Fort Caroline ; Ihc Rev. George E. Ellis
sympalhotieally recounts the life of Lai
Casas : Prof. If. W. Ilayncs of the Arch
Biological institute follows tiio early explorations
plorations of New Mexico" ; the Connuesi
of Peru is described by Clements Mark
ham , and the Rcy. E. E. Halo lends
new charm to Magellan's vorngo. Sucli
a roll of names guarantees tfioroughness
aud care in workmanship , and no one
who goes to the book will bo insensible ol
it. History is hero treated scientific
ally , not artistically ; the critical
part has overbalanced the nar
rative. The general reader will
bo constantly reminded that ( lie pur
suit of truth is no longer compatible with
a journey upon that broad and easy way
which wo all like now ana then , despite
its dolorous goal. No sooner is he suited
to one author than ho will bo thrown violently
lently out of the saddle by a critical chap
ter or bibliographical note , and when he
has climbed in acain it is only lo find
Hint he must adapt himself to a different
pace. This history is not to be read as
one of Prcscott's is read , and was not
meant to bo The literary merit of the
separate imratives is overcome by the
lack of artistie adjustment pro-ordained
In the conception of tlio plan
Throughout the volume the objnnt lias
3vidcnlly been lo epilomi/.e tiie results of
.vluit has been done betoro , rather thane
o enter upon new lines of.investigation. .
Thus the first chapter condenses all lhat
ias boon written about Columbus down
o the latest phase of the discussion re-
runlintr his hist rostjng-phico , and gives
in account of tlio mingled light and dark-
less with llniTissc lias just thrown upon
lis history ; but the writer has been cure-
'ul lo refrain from deciding doubtful
luostions , and is conservative in iiis
Iterances , though sharing the estimate
) f Oolumbus's character which every
ebcllious reference to the sources ren
ters more prolitablo. In dealing wilh
Vespucci , lee , neither Mr. Gay nor the
iditor throws any now light on tlio mys-
orious llrnt voyage , but wo have all tlio
iglit there is. An impression of novelty
hero undoubtedly is in Mr. Shea's ' arti-
: lo , but we expect it to lie rather in the
mints of view than in Ihe fuels. His
icart is warm towards the Spaniards ,
ind ono will hardly recogni/e , as it
ionics from his pcrsuasivo pen , thn story
if the vengeance of Dominique de Gonr-
; uus which BO thrilled us in Mr. Pan-
nan's telling.
The account of the exploration of Now
iloxico ami particularly tjiai of tlio oxpo-
lilion of Coronado in ll > : il-ir ! 41 , lo the
irand canon of Ihc Colorado , ttuiiini
uieblos , and Ihn plains of Kansas , will
irovooneof Hie most altrnetivo chapters ,
or the subject has not yet crept into gen-
ral literature , and thn iilontilicalion of
ucalilies recently nohioviid adds greatly
0 the interest. Worthy of note by all
I'lio have to deal with tradition is the
net that Mr. Gushing finds to-day , among
he store of Xnni legends , one of the kill-
ug of tint black Mexican , whom ho iilen-
ilies us the negro who in Itti'.l preceded
'ray Marco.s to Cibola. Evnn more in-

ressos ono anew wilh the \videi range
, 'hich exploration had reached In that
ear. Il was 1511 , lee , that saw OroJIanu
oat down the Amazon to tlio Atlantic ,

Tha volume in bountifully illustrated ,
nd iu the best senseof the word , for
very one of the nearly three hundred
ills illuminates Iho toxl , and not merely
xhibits Ihe skill and mental capacity of
10 artist. The utiU include portraits ,
gnaturos , tillo pages , otn. ' , and over a
iindrcd map.s. Almost all are extracted
om ancient * books , and their origin is
ulicatcd. Nothing is loft to bo desired
1 mechanical execution , The page is
loasant to look upon , and easy to read.
nd the illustrations have that combined
loarncss and delicacy which docs honor

Mr. ChlUlR Not a Cnmlldntc.
During the last fortnight , says The
Philapclphia Ledger ; a number of our
contemporaries have boon good enough
to print vorv kind and handsome things
of the proprietor ot The Public Lodger ,
and have connected them nnd his name
with tlio highest executive oillco iu this
country. Many letters also of the same
general tenor have beion received.
Of course such expressions are very
gratifying to Mr. Childs , as exhibiting a
strength of personal regard for which ho
is at a loss to make adequate acknowl
edgment. Tlml is the one light in which
ho prizes them , and ho prizes them very
highly. But in bo fur as they suggest
that ho should bo nominated for presi
dent of the United States , that is another
sort of matter still gratifying as a token
of warm good-will , but at the same time
looking to an impossibility. Mr. Childs
"
is quite well aware that"tho estimable
journals that have made favorable
mention of the suggestion , and tlio
numerous influential friends who have
written him on Hie subject , do not pre
tend to bo invested with Hie aulliorilics
and powers of national conventions , and
he is therefore not declining an olYor
which is not yet made mid that is not at
all likely to bo made by the convciition'of
any part v orgoni/.alion ; still , in his view
of what ho regards as necessary in this
particular instance , ho thinks that not
oven his silence should be permitted to
give encouragement or to look like giv
ing encouragement to a proposal to make
him n nominee for president.
Indeed , if his very partial friends in
the newspaper press and other vocations
who have taken favorable notice of the
proposal were actutlly invested with
full convention powers , or could in-
llucnce or control a sufilcient number of
tiic voters of the United Slates to make
his election absolutely certain and un
der these circumstances would make the
offer ho would then only have the
stronger reason to say , and would say
with more emphasis , if that were possi
ble : "This manifestation of your good
will and great favor is very welcome tome
mo , but you propose to do what should
not be done , and what I can not under
any possible circumstances ngroo that
you shall do. " I
