Whoever may be disposed to moralize
upon the fact that the brief season OF
Senatorial Revels is over, may abate his
admiration, as Master Will Shakespeare
would have putt. For even Shakespeare
himself has left suitable words whereby
to tell the story, paraphrased, of the
completion of this strange, uneventful
history:
As foretold you, was all silence, and
Has melted into air, thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this
vision,
The tricks of noisy carpet-baggery,
The frauds, and great Radicalism itself,
Yea, all who it do follow, shall dissolve,
And, like this unsubstantial party, faded,
Leave not a track behind"

CHICAGO PAPERs.-We are indebted
to our friend L. t. HANSON, Esq, who has
just returned from Chicago, for copies Of
several Of the papers which have resumed
publication since the fire. They arc the

The first three are quite dlminutive, but
he latter is ofpretiy good size. They arc
well filled with the advertisements Of
business men who propose with I'm.

that unb0unded energy may render posi-

some cases their editorials, have been an

Mr.. HANSON reached the city after the
fire was subdued, but he gives vivid &C.
count Of the widespread ruin wrought
Az illustrating the intensity of the heat In
which the largest and strongest structures
melted like wax, lie mentions that where
large stone blocks like the EIonOre, the Pa.
clhc Hotel or the Sherman House stood,
nothing Is to be seen but little piles Of
ashes. The very stones themselves were
burned to powder and the dust blown
away into the Lake.

The Convention that will meet this
morning, to elect candidates for the
Constitutional Convention and Legislature
comes together under suspicious cir
cumstances. Our opponents-or rather
the clique that controlled their Convention
have put forward q ticket, which, to say
the least, cannot command the approval
and support of the thinking men of this
city and county. Ills ticket so unsuiIed
to the time and place that even the AE9"'
kr has felt constrained to say It IS not
such a one as it "would like to see pre-
scented in sowGalthy, populous and impor'
tant county as this" otrustthe dele'
gates who meet this morning come TO-
pether with single purpose, VIZ; 10
present u ticket that will be in all respects
worthy the respect and confidence of our
people. There are men whom this COM
munity universally recognizes as fitted by
their integrity, their experience in public
matters, their sagaclty and those personal
qualities which give men standing and
influence with their fellows, for seats in
the Convention and Legislature.
1t will be the duty of the Convention
to-day to select such men US candidates
for popular support; and If 1t does, we
cannot doubt that there Is enough o!
party moderation and good sense in this
city and county to secure their election
So far rs we arc aware there is no seeking
for any OF these nominations. Such
places have no charms Tor men who have
the qualifications to fit them for tho du'
ties. 1t is only the scalawags and neo'
phytes who scramble for such nomina'
tions-as witness the recent Democratic
Convention. On the other hand, 1t Is TO
be- hoped If gentlemen fit for the
places arc selected by the Convention,
they will not refuse to accept tho positions
and work assigned them, Certainly II
we ever needed the services oil our best
men, 1t is now, when the organic law of
the Stale Is tobe remodeled, The public
interests involved entillo tue community
to the services Of their worthicst and most
capable men; and at the same time they
forbid that we should prefer incompetent
or Enthusiastically ones from Considera'
tons merely partisan.

AMID all her sOrrOws there is one ray
of consolation with which Chicago may
comfort herself. In one respect at least,
and at last, she has overtopped her rivals,
Cincinnati and st. Louis, in way that
they never can and dare not attempt
Cincinnati may beat her in the pork
business and St. Louis divert her grain
trade, or outnumber her in the census,
but neither of them ever had such fire
as that which has just conferred upon
Chicago, the attention and sympathy OF
the world.

The French War Indemnity.
BERLIN, May 10-Evening Prince Bismarck
has met the requests of the Versailles Govern
ment in very liberal spirit. By the treaty of
peace just signed, he has agreed to a reduction
of the war indemnity by half milliard of francs.
Consequently, the Germans receive Immediately
French bonds for four and half miliards of
francs, payable within one year, and endorsed
by French and German bankers. The bond is
convertible into stocks or consols, whichever
Germany may prefer. Two milliards of francs
have been already taken by Baron Rothschild
and Baron Erlinger the French bankers, and by
Herr Hahn, German banker. Immediately on
the ratification of the treaty majority
German Forces VIII Leave France,
the forts east and north of Paris surrendered
to the Versailles Government Immediately, aud
all the prisoners in Germany returned TO France
as rapidly as the railroads can transport them.
The Germans will hold only Belfort, Longwy,
and Nancy as hostages till the fulfIment of the
con ditions.
There was

SNAKE STORY.

The Doings of n Facetious Ruman-A Bat
of Fun with COlored Mau-Alleged Out
rageOus Conduct of Policeman.
This morning a gentleman residing in the
upper section of the city appeared before Mayor
Fox, and made complaint of the action of one
of the police officers of the Seventh district,
who is reported to be of rather desperate char
acter. The story of the complainant is to the
effect that he has in his employ cart driver
negro man. A few days ago, as the driver was
going down Green street, below Second, with his
cart, he was accosted by fellow who had in his
hand a large tame snake. The man jumped
on to the cart, and, for bit of fun, wound the
reptile around the colored mans neck. The
negro did not like this proceeding, and prosest-
ing mildly, removed the snake, when the face
tious fellow put it on again. This ope-
times much to the delight of
a crowd of bummers who were standing
around. Finally, the negro and the man came
to struggle in the cart, which ended in their
both falling into the street. The negro was
getting the worst of the contest, when John
Male, who resides on Front street, below Green,
and who is reported to be a cowardy rufliln,
came up and seeing how things were, instead
of helping the colored man fell upon him and
beat him in the most shameful manner.
policeman came up about this time, and,
strange 10 say, arrested the darkey, but on the
remonstrance of a number of gentlemen he
allowed the negro to go free. The latter then
went to Green street wharf for load of sand
and while there the policeman reappeared aud
rearrested him. He was taken before an alder
man, held in $500 bail, and fined $780, But
the most curious part of the story is that one of
the gang who were active in prosecuting the
negro went his bail, with a view to hush the
matter up. The negro is very badly hurt. The
matter ought to be investigated.

TO the support OF the Bishop, having his residence
in Philadelphia dated as far back as 1912 In proof
of this DIR. Hare read an extract from the minutes
OF the Journal OF the Convention for the year 1Si4
embOdying resolutions expressly adapted to pro-
vide against such an emergency as had now arisen.
This declaration OF the convention had been, as he
showed, reanirmed In 1899.
Whatever had been given, had been given then in
answer 10 the pledge thus taken by forefathers.
II such were not the case, he should vote to give q
large part OF the funds 10 the new diocese.
MI. j. r. Sypher followed in a few remarks on the
same subject.
Professor Coppee said that II appeared that the
convention was now thoroughly familiar with all
matters relating to the proposed division OF the
fund, and that committee could be appointed TO
report at the session.
The question then came up on Mr.. Welshs motion
that one-half of the not naenAble Episcopal fu ld
be and t is here by appropriated to new diocese
Before the vote could be taken the convention ad-
journed till O'Clock this afternoon.
