Five prominent Democrats of this

Now that the sausage season has

1t is discouraging to moral people,
who are working for moderate salaries
and earning an honorable living, to
know that a certain bartender of this
city, who shall be nameless here, is
paid 5000 per month; and that the mis-
cradle beings who '.jerk beer'' in our
fashy variety theatres receive 1926 per
week for their services.
A Japanese dignitary, sent by the
Mikado to join his brethren of the
Royal Japanese Centennial Commission
at Philadelphia, passed through here
yesterday. An attempt to pronounce
his name for Rapherty broke the jaw of
the foolhardy individual who made the
effort, and We are thus compelled to
omit giving the cognomen of the great
man from Sunny japan.
We are pleased to announce that
John Morrissey has forsaken his wicked
ways and, instead of staying in New
York to manipulate elections and pock-
ct the profits from his gilded palaces of
sin, has settled down in the Magic City,
taking the position of message boy in
the Western Union telegraph office,
where he serves the company and the
public with great acceptance.
There are very few of our people who
are not possessed of old books for which
they have no further use, and these
should be contributed to the public
library. If you cannot afford to help
the association with ready money, give
to the soliciting committee all such
books as well as old magazines, bound
or unbound. Everything of this kind
will help to make the reading-room a
pleasant place to visit.
