The Life and Letters of " Buckshot " Forstcr baa been published in London, as a sort of Tory campaign document, and Correspondent Smalley is so elated that he cables bis admiration to the New York Tribune. " His letters," says Bmalley, " are admirable. They are the man , simple, manly, frank and true as steel. The story of his escapes from assassination iead (sic) like so many romances." They probably are. Forster was a despicable tyrant who deserved a tyrant's death, but did not get it. His valor was displayed by proxy. His janissaries made war on poor peasants, women and children. He earned and received the contempt of every honorable man, and he naturally wins the admiration of Smalley.
