MEssRs. EDIToRs.-Your article of last week
headed Estate Fair and Street Rsilway,' Is a
move in the right direction, and as you have had
the nerve to say you are for kicking out Of the
way any obstacle that stands in the way Of this
improvement, If you had organized school for
kicking or marching out Of the way set OF old
fogies or charter makers years ago. you would
have done more for the city Of Ottawa than any
one man could do. Just think Of set OF men
holding a charter for the present water power
NOW only in process Of eompletion) for fifteen
years. and would do nothing themselves nor al.
low uuy one else TO. Yes, cir, It il ssid that the
water power charter WAS carried 80 long BY one
of the number that he wore out TIVE sets OF pock-
cts to every suit he has had for the last ten years.
and the results TO the city you already know.
Now. sire, if sny other set of men have charter
for the proposed street railway, sd will not
build it, say if you will only hoist their names
the school organized this week in secret will
come on the fret lesson, you directed. and that
is to kick, kick, and continue to kick until the
men and obstacles are kicked out OF town
Enough for the first.

The Radicals and the Germans.

There is no radical paper in the country
more INSCRIPTIONS, or, on occasions, more
bunderngly outspoken in its zeal, than Harp.
er's Weekly. In the last number of that sheet
Thomas Mast makes q carcaturc, in which
the great German statesman and orator, Shurz
is pictured as the devil whispering into the
ears of Charles Sumner: "That's just where
the administration would like to kick all the
Germans in this country, but we guess they
VIII have enough to do to save themselves
before they get through with It," Nast's ldeu
Is, to represent Shurz as the Mephlstophelcs
poisoning the car of Sumner with speclous
falschood. The debate in the senate, how
ever, has shown that "wishing the German.
to the devil' is sincere enough on the part OF
Morton, Conkling, &C.. unless they can ust
them as voting cattle. The completely of the
administration in the sale of arms to France il
now established beyond reasonable doubt, and
shows more than any words Can do, the real
sympathics orthe radical leaders. A German
paper in New York thus speaks of this
fact; eff people had hot come 20 lie At vsri-
ancc with the old party it certainly would MT
have been accessory for the poisonous, l,erfid-
ious New York Times to suggest tins .cp e..
CerbcTus, or to have adduccd senator Sumner
as authority tor action most distsstcful ~ us
Germans. There is no necessity for HIM who
stands at the tail Of his party to afford AID
to the opposite party. The Republican
party is answcrahle tor its overt
acts and is answcrnblc tor the adj
ministraion elected by it, and 1t follows that
it disavowed, like the last Democratic State
Convention. the heads of our party in the
state of New York, and branded them. Il il
not here the question whether or not a Demo.
cratic administration would, under the same
circumstances, have acted as did President
Grants administrations President Grant did
ac. in this way; did so do violence to the law
Of the nations and our own neutrality that
many thousands mare Of tho sons Of tho land Of
our birM were torcei to die on the btoody fields Of
France than other'oise might hare died, and

Fair Meeting,

The officers Of the La Sale County Agri.
cultural Society held meeting at the Clifton
Hotel on Thursday, oil except two being pre-
sent. The subject Of mile track was discus.
sed pro and con. In view of the fact that it
WAS not absolutely necessary to have mile
track; that 1t would render mere ground ne.
cesssry and involve large additional expense
while to meet the requirements Of the State
Board already more than exhausted the sub.
scriptions,- the Board voted not to incur the
expense, but if parties desiring mile track
will pr"cure the necessary grounds and grade
and fence the track, they should bs allowed TO
do so uat, the LIST Of April. Failing to do 30
by that date, the Board would proceed to 10.

halt mile track.
The Board then proceeded to change the
name of the society to 1.-THE La Sale County
Agricultural Board" and to effect reorgan.
izstion pursuant to an act Of the present legis.
lature, entitled IAN Act to create depart.
ment Of agriculture IN the state Of 1llinois."
The reorganization was effected by reelect-

One wonld suppose if President Grant had
anything like sense of deccncy about him,
to say nothing If common honesty, he would
have broken up the general order corruption
in the New York custom-h house and rid him
self of his scandalOus connection with Lect,
Stocking & Co. With his usual doggedness,
however, Grant defes public opinion. The
general order business remains IN force, and
while it is true that Leet has had the decency
to withdraw his name from it and firm
named "SQuires & Co." have taken his place,
the evidence before the custom-housc investi.
eating committee on Tuesday showed that
"Squircs e. Co." are mere scapc goat, and
that Lcet, Stocking Il Co. are gong on in the
old way-the real parties in the business.

One Of those gigantic sinks Of corruption,
to which nothing can be compared in this
country except the New York Custom House
and the New York City Government, has been
the New York and Enc Railroad Manage
ment. Here was corporation with property
worth s35,O0O,oOo, capable of earning from
Is to % per cent on its enormous capital an.
nuslly above expenses, which Was yet hope
lessly bankrupt and kept so, all Its capital and
earnings having been stolen by a ring worse
than highwaymen, of whom Jim Flske and
Jay Gould were at the head. The great strife
in this company has been for years between
the English stockholders, owning three-ftths
OF its capital stock, and the American stock
holders, owning two-tifths, to get control of
the road. The death of Fiske gave the open
ing. and on Tuesday last. by coup d etat
that would have done honor to Fske himself
for its audscity and shrewdnsss, a complete
change was affected IN the management of the
road. Gould was ousted from the presidency
and Gen. John A. Dix put in his place, and
Gen. Mcclellan was put upon the Board Of
Directors to fill vacancy; and finally the
employees Of the road were instructed to re-
coganize only the new officers. This gives
tho antl.ring party the possession of the road,
which is long step toward securing thor
ough and permanent reform of It's affairs.
Gould, finding himself thus outwitted, resign
ed the presidency and thus acQuiesces in the
revolution.

The trial Of Mayer Hail. in New York city,
for his connection with the Tammany ,hicying
operations was the scene Of decldcJ sur
prise to the robbers the other day. One Of
the head men of the gang, named Garycy, the
man to whom the ring gave their heavy plaS-
tering contracts, and whom they supposed
they had safely hid away IN Switzerland, un-
expectedy appeared on the witness stand and
turned states evidence. II the ghost Of jim
Fiske had appeared on the stand, the ring
coud not have been more dismayed. The
revelations Of Garvey were such a might
well alarm them, as may easily he inferred
from few specimens. With respect toa it
tie bill of s395,6G0 paid by the city for re
pairs of engine houses, he stated that $4,000
went to Tweed to influence Legislation at
Albany 100000 to repair Tweed & Co.'S
Americas clubhouse at Greenwich $4,000
to fix up Woodwards sum.ner rancho at
Greenwich; $4,000 to remodel Rocnes

own contributions for political purposes. This
accounts for ili3, 600 Of the bill tor plaster
ing engine houses, LEAVING S2j2, 600 as the
amount paid by the city for work for which

Supreme Court Building.

The fact has already been mentioned that
the legislature has graz ted an appropriation
OF $4,000 to enlarge III, Supreme Court build
| ing at Ottawa. The addition OF four judges
| to the bench, and the enormous increase Of
business of the court since the present build
| ing was erected, have made tins improvement
an absolute necessity.
BY the pel,teness of Maj. ". N. Taylor, the
gentlemanly and accommodating Clerk of the
Court, we have been permitted to look at the
plans and drawings as far as they are COM
plcted, OF the proposed enlargement and re-
modelling of the old building, and so far as we
are able to judge, they are conceived in sound
judgment and good taste. The enlargement
will consist of the erection OF q wing on the
north and a wing on the south side, each Is
| by 40 feet, and uniform in height and outward
| appearance with the present building. The
upper story Will be sub-dlvided into court
room, clerks office, judges private chamber
and library. The court room will embrace
| the room now used and the east library room.
| The clerks office will include. the present
Judges council chamber and clerks Office. 1t
! will contain fire-proof vault. The judges
| private chamber will be in the south wing.
The north wing and present west library room
will constitute the new library. D5
The eight corner rooms OF the lower floor
will be fitted up and furnished for Offices for
Judges ana Attorney General of the State.
| Each will have toilet room attached. There
vii! also be on this floor two fire-proof vaults
for the storage of papers and records, coal
room and furnaces, unless it should be decided
to heat with steam.
The enlargement is to be completed in time
to I've occupied at the September term OF the
| Court.
In this connection it may not be out of
place to allude to the fact, which we see in
the Ottawa Republicans, that Maj. Taylor is
a candidate for reelection to the Supreme
Clerkship, the election taking place, under
the new constitution, at the general election
next November. The office is in no sense a
political one, but the election taking place in
the heat of a presidential contest, doubtles.
the successful candidate will be compelled to
go through the dubious preliminary ordeal OF
a radical convention or caucus. If ANYTHING
manly or sensible could be predicated of such
a body, there would be little doubt of the
nomination of Maj. Taylor for he has made
q popular and admirable clerk; but on that
very account, probably, his chances are all the
more precarious, for IN general, it is notable
that in caucus a frst-class, honorable mar
stands no chance against an unscrupulou:
dcmagogue and scalawag.

New Hampshire Election,

The election IN New Hampshire resulted in
the triumph OF the radicals. They elected
their Governor by about 1900 majority, and
have majority in both branches of the legis.
lature.
or course this result is in the highest IN de-
gree gratifying to Grant and the radical lead
ers generally at Washington. They say 1t is
the keynote of the presidential campaign.
Their rejoicing is not without cause. Last
year, by an unusually favorable combination
of circumstances the Democrats unexpectedly
carried that state by a majority of 1200-the
first time the state had gone Democratic in
fifteen years The Republican leaders at
Washington this year sent $4,000 and some
so stump orators to New Hampshire, with
Senator Wilson at the head, to redeem the
state, and, of course, they succeeded.
The fight in New Hampshire was on the
square old issue of Republican against Dem
ocrat. The result shows how futile must be
any attempt of the Democrats single-handcd
to undertake to defeat the reelection of Grant.
New Hampshire, like every other state, has its
hosts of Republicans who are dissatisfied with
Grant, and would be but too glad of an OPP
portunity to vote against him, if they can do
so without voting for one bearing the raw
head-and bloody bones name Of" Democrat"
But with the square issue of Democrat or Re-.
publican before them, they will vote Republic
can every time. Let them, however, have Z
choice between two Republicans like Grant
and Davis, and the little radical majority of
1900 in New Hampshire will disappear like .
morning mist in summer. 'rG.

A Ku.Klux Outrage,

The following significant story, which is
told by the Springfield Mass Republican, a
radical paper, and which is based on the evil
dence taken before the Ku,Klux committee
last summer, and is therefore strictly true, il
lustrates admirably how nine-tcnths of the Ku-
klux outrages at the South, with narrowing
accounts OF which the radical papers Of the
north abounded year or two, were made up.
The Ku-klux committee, though gotten up
for exactly the opposite purpose, did much to
eering game, and to show how much real
truth there Is in this whole Ku klux business.
Following is the Repu}lican'S story:
"It is to be hoped that the United States
soldiers who are enforcing the Ku-klux act are
not often put to such uses as a squad of them
were put to in one instance in North Carolina
A railroad contractor by the name of Howlc,
complained to the authorities that he had been
chased off by the Ku-kluX Of the neighbour
hood in which he was working, because he
was a republican and had attended a republi-
can convention. He represented himself as
having served in the rebel army, and as being
a connection" of Gen. Lee. Troops were
promptly placed at his disposal, and number
of men arrested. During the recent trip or
the Scott investigating committee it was dis
covered that there was another side to the
story. This other side was furnished to the
committee by an old citizen, very respect
able man, q republican, vouched for by Sena-
tor Pool, and summoned RS witness by the
majority. He testified that Howle was bad
lot, and not to be believed under oath All
there was to the "ku-kluX' story, he said, was
this: There was house Of iil-iame IN the
ncighborhood which the decent people had
long been anxious to break up. Howlc was
a constant visitor to this house The little
daughter Of one of the inmates, some fifteen
years of sge. had been living ever since her
childhood with respectable farmer. Her
mother undertook 80 get her back, and lIowle
and few worthless negroes Allotted her. The
girl was unwilling 10 60. Naturally there
was great excitement when the facts became
known and an attempt was made to Tighten
the conspirators away from their prey. The
witness added that Howle's only purpose in
procuring his squad OF soldiers was to oyerawe
resistance and get this innocent girl into bis

DEATH OF A VERMONT AMAZON.

Mrs. Catharine Dillon was found dead
in her residence at st. Albans Tuesday
forenoon last. She lived alone, and ap-
pearances indicated, when found, that she
had been dead some twenty-four hours
She was very remarkable woman, and
no one had obtained greater local noto-
riety. She came from Ireland poor
young woman with her husband. about
the time Of the building Of the Vermont
Central and Canada railroads. and kept
boarding-house for the laborers along the
line OF the roads as they progressed to
Rouse's Point. At her clearinghouse
whiskey was always to be obtained by her
boarders and others in spite of the con-
tractors. From Rouse's Point she came
to reside at st. Adams, and continued in
the same occupation. About the time the
"Maine Law" was first enacted, and for
years afterwards, she continued to make
business lively for the police. Though
difficult to capture, she was arrested
scores of times, and as often escaped eth
er from the county Jail or from the courts
of justice. At length she was indicted by
the United States District Court, about FIVE
years ago, for being connected with SNUG
Cling, and for trafficing in smuggled liqu-
ors. In this court she was obliged to sub.
NIT to fine of about $4,000, which she
paid. She, however, took her personal
appeal to President johnson, at Washing
ton, but could obtain no satisfaction. After
this, she abandoned the traffic, and turned
her attention to other pursuits. Becoming
tired of her husband she obtained d.
vorce from him, it is claimed in the follow
ing manner; Returning from trip on the
cars, Mr.. Dillon failed to find his valise,
when, through her advice, he selected an
other from those remaining in pile Of
baggage; but no sooner had he reached
home than she procured his arrest for lar
ceny. The unfortunate man was SEN
fenced to Windsor prison, and upon his
release went out in the Vermont cavalry
regiment as bugler. In one way and
another she amassed considerable for
tune, variously estimated at from fifty to
seventy-fve thousand dollars. At her
death she was about forty-fve years of
age. In her younger years she was con-
sidered handsome. but later her personal
beauty had become somewhat faded, ow-
ing to the excessive use of stimnlants.
One brother. to whom she was strongly
attached, was killed in a melee at Charles
Potter's hotel at "Slab City," Canada,
about ten years ago
