That Riot.


with week to think it over. the
pubic are more and more convinced
that the i1nglcadrrs in the late riot in
this place We're let off altogether too
lenlcntly. They should have been
bound up. Robinson was brought be-
fore the court on Monday, and waving
IN examination was bound up in the
sum OF $500. The rImor is current on
the street that he with other prisoners
attempted to break Jail Sunday night.
and came near succeeding. The rumor
credits them with saving the iron graf
ing ut one of the windows.
This riot does not turn out for the
Avenue House Just as at first expected.
II Is said that these rioters whom AL
drlch has sued for private damages,
have turned on him and are accumnlat-
ing evidence against him for selling
liquor, and declare that they will ruin
him. There Is not much doubt in the
minds of some but that these same
nue. House right along. and that they
will not have to go outside their own
circle t" procure all the evidence ncccs-
Sary. This impression is rather CON
tirmcd 10y the fact that Immediately
after the riot, Aldrich WAS complained
OF for selling liquor, and he plead guilty
L. al
WAS Il surprise to almost all Nearly
rNcrNh"dy supposed he kept Il temper
ance house. 1t is only another Illus
tratiom of how liquor curses everyone
VIII" has anything to do with it, 1t is
not believed that Aldricl sold these
rioters any liquor on that day or eve
ming. They came into his house and
>hamcfullv abused him. his guests and
his house. The sympathy of all WAS
with him until it was told that he had
heretofore furnished these same parties
with the melting cause of all this dis
turhancc and towns disgrace. If this
proves true, very little sympathy will
ne nave.
Another thing growing ont of this
riot: Jerrauld has brought action
against the editor of tnr CdletlOnidn ior
Islander. laying his damages at ten
thousand dollars. We repeat what We
said last week: Our information WAS
all obtained from men who We're pres
cnt at the riot, and from the officers of
the law. We shall continue to print
what we consider authenticated
facts. even though they aIe disglaccful

Why, Indeed P

Why should man, because he has
been called from private life to public
station. leave behind him any of the
privileges of citizenship! Why should
he not he allowed to vote and ask 9TH
els to vote as he thinks most wise
Why should he not openly support the
men and measures he deems best
Why, if he believes il right, should he
not defend the policy of the admins
tration. as well as the government he
serves, with the pen and on the rostrum,
if he chooses, with all his might Who
better than he should understand the
theories of the government, or more
able to dclineate its policy No i'm
partial observer will deny that the fed
eIal offices, to-day, are as ably filled
and 10y as worthy il class of men as ever
before in the history of the republic.
Who. then, should be better qualified
to advise the people regarding the pub
lie ISSUES involved. to counsel their tel
low citizens regarding their interests, to
form public opinion and direct its cur
rent in ii proper channel than those very
self same office holders

Dull Sermons.

Even in Laplamd. sermons are some
times dull and listeners are occasionally
sleepy but the Laps have Il way of
getting round the difficulty which may
Ice recommended even among us to all
whom it concerns. In Lapland, it APP
pears that the preacher is armed with Il
large baton and with this he beats II
sort of pharmaceutical tattoo upon the
pulpit whenever he catches any of his
congregation in the act of nodding.
But lest some Slumhcring delinquent
should fail to attract the attention of
the preacher. the sexton is utilized as ii
co-wOrkcr i'll the Gospel and keeps
himself awake 10y meandering about
the church. welding Il long stick nit
ig;ltcd 10y Il cushion at one end. With
this he diligently punches slcepers in
the ribs and yoads on their faculties to
the sad duty of attention. Thus the
Laps have an effective arrangement for
punching the congregation when they
get sleepy. But they do not seem to
have devised any method Tor punching
the preacher when he makes them so.
