A Good Speech.

Col. Gil. Pierce of Indiana who has won the
reputation of being brilliant at
Washington, made speech recently before the
Indiana Republican Club that fairly entities
him to prominent position among the ablesr
of the younger Republican political speakers for
: the coming campaign. Indiana has always
been represented in Washington by Republic
cans of such character and talent as to give
them nationalreputation. 1t is evident that
the Colfaxes and Mortons will have able allies
in the younger men like Col. Pierce.
In abiding to the interest of the Democratic
party in the Liberal Republican, Col Pierce
aptly said:
The popularity of Chevy Slime was that he
was already waiting around the corner, and our
Democratic friends appear to be engaged at
present in that same occupation They are
waiting now for Presidential candidate, and
they are ready to indorse almost anything that
is available. They remind me of that scene
from Hamlet where Polonius comes in to
summons the young Prince:
''Do you see yon cloud" says Hamlet, cal
most in the shape of camel?' ssBy the
mass!" cries Polonius, 'it is like camel
indeed" Cor like weasel" continues Ham
let. st is backed like a weasel" replies Pole
MUS. "Or like a whale?" says Hamlet
Every, very like whaler' returns Polonius.
And SO you go to one of our ancient and
bewildered Democratic brethren and you say:
do you see yon cloud at Cincinnati, almost
in the shape of Davis?' And he responds
with anxiety depicted in his weather beaten
conntenance "By the mass! it is like Davis
indeedr' cor like Greeleyg' you continue.
1T is backed like Greeley" he responds Cor
like Brown" you say, and the venerable man
rubs his hands and replies, every yery like !
Brown"
That will be fearful affair at Cincinnati.
1t will beat the Philadelphia Convention of
49, 1t is the death of the Democratic party.
and as the master of ceremonies said at that
last st. Louis funeral, "the corpse's cousins
will now come forward" Come forward,
Trumbull, with your civil service reform and
your ten thousand dollar check for services in
the McArdle case.
Come forward, Greeley, with the emancipa-
tiOn proclamation in one hand in the other
copy of the Lexington Caucasian, with your
friendly letter to DOMAIN, the glorifier of Lin
coins assassin and the would-be instigator. of
Grant
Come forward, Schurz, waving in one hand
in the battlefield, while the other is thrown
lovingly about the newly-elected Senator from
Kentucky, with bis proposition to remove the
1900 sleeping soldiers from their graves at
Arlington.
Come forward Upton! thou bristling proph-

AUDACIoNs ROBBERY AND MURDER.-Mon-
day afternoon five mounted men rode into CO.
iumbia, Missouri and having dismotnted
at Deposit Bank, two with pistols in their
hands held the horses, while the other three,
with drawn revolvers, entered the bank. Four
unarmed gentlemen, including the Cashier,
were within. One of the intruders demanded
the keys of the safe and another attemnteS To
shoot James Garnet, bank employee, but he
was burned by the explosion. All the bank Of
fcers escaped except the Cashier, who, under
feaafulf threats, refused to unlock the safe. He
was shot dead and the maraudiug party pillag-
ed all the valuables outside the safe, which they
were unable to unlock. While this was pro-
ceeding the party outside fired their pistols in
all directions, driving everybody off the street.
The raid was SO unexpected it caused the town
TO seem panic stricken until the robbers mount

The members of the Cold Water Temple of

kets in hand, for their May-Day picnic. They
numbered four hundred and twenty-four, and
were headed by lIr. Nye. They visited the
State House at 8 o'clock, marching into the TO-
tunda and forming circle around the fountain.
Mr.. Nye introduced to them Hon. Warren
johnson, State Superintendent of Common
Schools saying that that gentleman was pleased
to notice their organization favorably in a
circular laterly issued by him, sc.
Mr. johnson then addressed the little band
in few very pleasing remarks, which were re-
ceived with three rousing cheers. ish5A-
The children went from the State House to
the grove'in the rear, where some of the good
citizens had provided bountiful supply of
oranges and apples.
No one can witness a procession of SO many
little folks without feeling just sense of graft

Nye.

THE Democratic leaders in Congress are the
most interested of any parties in Washington
in the Cincinnati Convention. Their leaders
are said to be behind the scenes drawing the
wires and moving the puppets. They urge
the Liberals to name their strongest man.
This done they will desert the ticket and
nominate one of their own men whom they
hope to elect through the dissentions in the
Republican party. The drift of the leading
papers in that party outside ofthe World in
dictate that this is the plan.

WE publish on the first page, the entire
text of the statute against cruelty to animals
1t viii be seen that the law is very complete,
probably the best statute on the subject ever
enacted. From the action of the society for
the P. of c. to A. in causing an enforcement
OF the law against offenders, we may look for
most benefcent results. All fines enure to
the benefit of the society, which is an adj
mirable feature, as the guilty parties are thus
made to furnish means to carry on the war
against them. We suggest that every person
interested cut out the slip containing the law
and carry it in his pocket, so that he may
never be at loss about his legal rights. The
statute is published at the request of many
persons who desire popular familiarity with
its provisions.
Mrs. BEECHER HOOKER writes with all
the vigor, if not the good taste characteristic
other family. In her letter to Hon. Lyman
Trumbull touching the Cincinnati Conven-
ton she said Mr.. Greeley was heavy load
for any party since he always deserts or turns
a somersault when the pinch comes. Her
Characterization of Schurz is strong, il not
delicate. She says that he ranks women with
good mich crows, and she wonders that he
ever consented to be born of woman or to
call her mother.
