The Register prints the lillowing:
William Jennioaj Dry-in in in a
Htew. Ho volunteered hi -t services
to his country during the war, hut
wiim careful to Hpecify a OOlODtDOj
sh hiH alignment. He knew nothing
Kbotlt war, bat bli patriotism w.n
not srdoit enough to caune him to
tako any hut a nigh oflico. It w
n political Htroke. Hut now that
he h.ii raoalyad his appointment
an i none into the field, his object is
accomplished, and he in hiixioiih to
return to the plains of the 1'latte
and light iheraiiHoof the Americana
who are down-trodden hy the gold
hugH, instead of lighting for the
freedom of Ouhana. itut the war
depirtment refuses to release him
from hia command, und he find
hit sacrifice to his country has been
the means of tying hi bund", as
far as leading his political forces at
home. lie got more than he bar
gained for.
It is really rather unkind to the
Register t reproduce the foregoing,
and make nny more public the
nsrrowne.-s of its position. Who
ever was responsible for the cow
position of the article and its in
sertion in the Roaster's editorial
columns, should receive his time
check from the Register' business
manuger and he asked to close the
door of the editorial sanctum from
the outside.
Why should not Mr Br 'SODS
permitted to take his place us a
citizen, if the war depurtmoit
could as well as not spare hint
And how could Mr ltrynn hum
what are the wishes of the war
department except hy preferring
the rtqueat for a discharge? Hun
dreds, thousands were being
mustered out. Many were pet -milted
to return to active life and not re
main to do tedious garrison duty.
How will the Register explain
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's re
turn to take part in the state poli
tics of Now York? And shall thorn
ha one law for Colonel Roosevelt,
Whoil a republicin, and another
for Colonel liryan, who is a demo
crat? Has unyono over accused
Colonel Roosevelt of going into the
w tr purely for political ends? And
if Colonel Roosevelt ho credited with
patriotic desire to serve his country
when ha Organised a regiment and
took the offlot of colonel, why not
give Colonel liryan the same credit?
Such a comment on Colonel
llryan's desire to leave what, in
view of the cessation of hostilities,
would probably as seen at that
time he merely the tedious life of
the regular army, is not worthy
nny newspaper that lays eliitn to
ordinary breadth and fairness. The.
Register should apoloftae to itself
fir the Miullntss of the spirit
shown in the article in question.
It need Dot apologize to anyone
else, since it has hurt no one. I
has, however, excited sumo sym
pathy for the liegisier, and a Irater
nal desire on the part of its ex
changes to admonish it to cense
giviug expression to such narrow
views, and obtain i larger scope of
vision.

fable that is veiy applicable to the
situation in which Spain finds her
self at the prevent lime. Tho fox
through his theivish propensities

that limy could easily lie dispensed I

comprehended th reason that im
pelled the fox to urge h genera) tail
removal, and his propositi n mt
with unanimous disapproval.
Spain, witli no army or navy
worth speaking of ' praises" the dis
armament project. The rem val
of her claws and t;oth has made
her peaceable, abjectly so. It

A generation ago there apnt ared In
"Vaulty Fair," with which the name
of ArtemOS Ward wis identllled, the
following poem on the civil war. It
will bear re.publicr.tiou at the present
time, despite Die fact the name of it
author is unknot ii It was entitled
"After All," and is all iUent in i's sim
plicity and the picture ol domestic
grief it presents.
The apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands reddeu
In the blood of the dying sun.
At the cottage door the grandslie
Bits ale In his easy chair,
While the gentle wind of twilight
Plays with his silver hair.
A wnnniii kneeling beside him,
A fair young head is pressed
In the llrst wild passion of sorrow
Against his aged breast.
And far from over the distance
The warlike e hoes come
(f the w arlike blast of trumpet
And the ra' thug roll of c'ruin.
And the grandslie speaks in a whisper
"The end 0Q man can see;
Hut we give him to his country,
And we give our prayers to Thee."
Tb violets alar the meadows,
The rosebuds friuge the door,
And over the grassy orchards
The pink-w lilte blossoms pure.
Hut the gratulsire's chair is empty,
The cottage is iiark and still;
There's a nameless grave ill the battle
tlek', And a new one under the hill.
And a pallid, (earless woman
By tbe cold hearth sits alone,
And l lie old Cloefc in the corner
Tickso.i with a steady drone
From south Lane.
