Clarlke,s speech.
From the Topeka Record. I

Clarke speech At the Court House IN tins
city, Saturday night, was substantial rope
tition Of his 'opening yawp" At Olathe. He
made much stronger impression on the
minds Of the thinking men BY what he did
not say than by what he did say. He spoke
over three houns- a rambling, auctioneer-
ish style, but did not directly meet single
one Of the many grave charges brought
against him. He attempted to explain the
Price raid claim busineas, bat failed TO throw
any new light ON the subject. He undertook
to show Why no appropriation was made for
public buildings At Topeka; hat dozen
words thrown in edgewise by Col. Holiday
spoiled his Statement. He dweit somewhat
lengthily, and very grandiloquently on ''my
amesdmen" to the Usage land bill; and one
who knew no better would have supposed
from his talk that he was really entitled to
the credit Of passing the law. And the whole
remainder Of his speech occupying fully
two or three hours-was principally made
up of abuse of the Record, scurrilous attacks
upon divers prominent citizens here and at
Lawrence and LeavenwOrth, and a sympa-
thy begging whine over the treatment he is
receiving At the hands Of his opponents.
The speech was apparently premeditated
general dodge. He entirely avoided the
very things that ''decent regard" for his
constituents should have impelled him TO ex-
plain. He made no reference to the Black
Bob fraud although the full expose of the
affair, over the name Of United States
Senator, clearly pointing to him rs pa'tio7s
criminals in the attempted "gobble," stared
him in the face from the columns Of Satur-
day mornings Record. Nor did he say
single word about his base betrayal and de-
scrtion of the settlers On the Cherokee
Neutral lands although scores Of the set
tiers friends in this city were present on
purpose to hear his plea on that count"
And 50 Of dozen other Of the specific
charges that he was naturally expected to
answer.
The audiencc-botll Clarkites and anti
Clarkites-went away dissatisfied. Every
body suppos ed that he would at least pettifog
a little over all the main allegations made
against him; but his speech left no doubt in
the minds of his hearers that there are some
charges which he dare not touch At all, and
none that he feels willing 10 meet fairly and
squarely. Let the show move on.

We direct the attention of the people Of
the Neosho Valley to the fact that the Hon.

aging that it belonged to Mr.. joys road.
the dignity Of his position and assuming
that of lawyer in the interest Of rail-
road, i sufficient reason for the entire State
to refuse to support him, and especially the
people Of the Neosho Valley. His action in
this matter shows clearly that, while pretend
ing to use his influence for the settlers of the
Neutral Land, he was in reality working in
the iniessst Of Mr.. Joy. There can be but
one conclusion, and that n, that Mr.. Joy has
bought him, and the people of the Neutral
land are justified in denouncing him.

of prophet from the grave, made
painful impression upon the soldiery
charged with the execution. A sergeant
advanced to blindfold the prisoners, but
was disdainfully motioned away by We

soldier never finches while looking an
enemy in the face. "You can rob US
with life Of all we posses" said Wedell.
"but not of honor of dying as becomes
true Prussian soldier, nor the love we
bold in our hearts for our noble country
for which we have offered our life J.
Entertain no fear that we will tremble
or falter, only be sure that your nerves
are steady and that your aim is true. ;"
After these words they all embraced
each other in last farewell in life, and
taking off their cravats barred their breasts

and hit the Prussian heart. ''Long live

The Dogma of Infallibility.

The following is a translation Of the
concluding portion of Chapter ~ de
Capita Ecclesia, recently promulgated by
the EcumenicaI Council, setting forth the
doctrine of lnfallibility:
"Whereforc, we, adhering faithfully
to the traditions, which date from the
commencement of Christianity, for the
glory of God, our Saviour, for the exal-
tstion of the Catholic religion and the
salvation of Christian people, we preach
and define, with the appreciation of the
Sacred Council, as dogma, divinely
revealed: That the Roman Pon:if,
when speaks 'excathedra'-that is to say,
when (discharging the functions of pas
tor and doctor Of all the faithful, by
virtue of supreme apostolic authority he
defines doctrine of faith and morals to
be held by the Universal Church, be full
ly enjoys, by the Divine assistance
promised him in blessed Peter, the same
intalIibility which our Divine Redeemer
intended His Church should be endowed
with when defining anything concerning
faith or morals. and consequently such
definitions Of the Roman Ponttf are OF
themselves irreformabIe. independent of
any consent of the Church. If any one
shall presume, which may tod forbid,
to contradict this, our definition, let him
be anathema."

THE LAZY MANA lazy man is al
ways good natured. lie never flies into
passion. He might crawl into one, if
that were possible, but the idea of his
flying into one is preposterous.
Who ever heard of lazy man break.
ing into bank where crow bar had to
be used, or drilling into a safe? Nobody.
Not that he might not covet his neigh
boris goods contained therein, but the
horror of handling crow bar and drills
would always deter him from actually
committing the burglary. He never runs
away with bis neighbours wife, simply on
account of the horror he has of running.
If he is ever known to run, it is to--run
to seed.
He rarely lies about his neighbors, for
| it would be too much exertiou; but be
lies about bar-room all day.
He is OF inestImable service to a bill
lard saloon, keeping the chairs warm
and watching the game, for few would
care to play where there are no specta-
tors. The fact that be does without
pay, day in and day out, shows the un-
| selfishuess of his nature.
The lazy man never gets up revolu
lions, instructions, or other popular ex-
elements, and don't make nuisance of
himself by training around the country
making iucendiary speeches to promote
public discomfort.
In his own ne;ghborhood he is never
q busybody in other peoples affairs, for
the very idea of being busy body at
anything would drive him out Of his
head.
No lazy man ever ran mad. II he
went crazy, it was because he couldn't 90
anywhere else without walking.
Lazy men don't disturb the quiet of
peaceful neighbors by putting up facto.
ries. furnaces and other abominations.-
