While knowing full well that Baldwin, Of the
FL Paso Journal, never scrupled to publish any
thing, no matter how stupid, dirty, prurent OF
nasty, If he thought it would sell papers, and
WAS never known to stop at any meanness if he
could see money in it, We never took him for an
idiot. He has, however, shown himself an IRE.
clainable one in allowing himself to be so far
imposed upon ~ few blacklegs and brotheI
pimps in Ottawa, as to publish and comment
upon as genuine, an absurd and witlcss screed
gotten up by the pinps aforesaid, and intended
as Il burlesqCc proclamation of our mayor. The
thing, from its utter witlessness and idiocy OF
conception, failed even to attract attention here
otherwise it might have excited indignation, be-
cause its only possible motive could have been
to cast rdicnle upon certain acts Of our mayor
which the people of Ottawa very cordially APP
prove and applaud That Baldwin should treat
it seriously, therefore, was surprise, and really
we are Disguised, for the sake of the craft, that
he should allow himself to be sold in way SO
hopelessly silly and stupid
Yet, while on the subject, it may not be out of
place to say, that when our mayor, by his vgor-
Gus action, succeeded in less than week in
cHtNltt'llN liuulHS puI NlNS VI lHlibg WI W. "
strumpets, lie left without visible means of sup.
port dozen or more of lOathsome creatures
who had shared their sinful earnings as pimps
They seem to have found partial refuge in two
or three gambling hclls and these, also, the
mayor soon after succeeded in quietly breaking
up, Since then they have pursued him like
fiends," laying awake at nights" contriving
schemes to thwart his efforts TO enforce the or
dinances OF our city intended to conserve public
dcccncy and morality, and in this disrcputable
business, it is quite evident that the vile rough
scuT alluded to are not without aid ard sympa-
thy from men Of higher grade, it is said of even
professional gentlemen, who at times find them
selves warmed if not slightly singed by the hot
zeal OF the mayor in his crusade against vice
and immortality. 1t may be sufficient hint to
these latter gentlemen to state that little pru-
dencc and moderation Oh their part may be
requisite to prevent them from being paraded,
some day, in the company of their lcprous IL
Inmates.

BURGLARS.
They $50 Through Numerously
But Get very few Checks withal.

The earlier part Of the past week was very pro
life in small burslaries number of houses
and offices were entered, generally in remote
parts OF town, but very few Spoils were obtained
On Sunday ni.h the entrances were most nu-
mcrous. Wh~ge they began is not known, but
apparrr,iy at Strawn Il Powells Office at the
foot Oi Lit Sale street. Here they picked up
some - or IS in money, leaving large numoer
OF postage stamps as useless ~ them, not oelbS
in mood for writing. Pity they didn't take me
stamps of to Philadelphia and start a centennial
correspondence bureau,-onc would be Justified
in shooting them then; as it is--but they have
not yet been caught
Next they turned up at Wigets meat market,
corner of Main and Clinton SITS, where they
1nade a magnificent haul of ~ or 90 cents. The
walls look as though their contempt and disgust
had been emphatic.
Then we hear of them q: Dr. Phillipss and
Young d Ryan's lumber offices, where the SpoilS
were unusually thin. Thence they mcandered
toward the bluff, North Ottawa, entering the
cellar of Mr.. King, and helping themselves free
" to the bountul store of rich milk fruits, &c,
to be found there. Thus refreshed, and Draced
up" they entered another house near there
carrying off an entire bank-ef coppers, belong
ing to one of the children. This was honor and
excitement enough for one night, and they
rested.
Monday night, not to be pGrtial in their visits,
like most young men, they favored the south side,
entering tie house OF Mrs L. W. Griggs. As all
the family sleep up stairs they had full run OF
+hp house down stairs and "ran ~ il pnthe ring
lin "tucats," some $40 currency, and So or 81
silver; certificate Of deposit in the First Nat
Bank for SO; deed TO the house and lot, and
some clothing and shoes. The same night J. +.
SCOTS was entered but nothing stolen, We be-
lieve.
A day or two after, carpet sack was found in
Raymond'S coal house, containing Il pair OF
shoes, the deed to the house and lot, aud other
lrnkcts belonging to Mrs. Griggs, which were
at once restored to her.
Who the thief or thieves are, is quite mys.
terry. On Sunday night three suspicious charac.
tiers were seen loating around the glass works
waiting for a train" they said. On Monday
night the same trio were seen again at the
works and gave the same answer to Inquiries as
! to their business there; and when reminded that
several trains had passed since the night before
gave Some suspicious excuses, and finally NOV
ed across the X. |. railroad track and sat down
in the ditch. Since then they are " lost to sigh,
but yet to memory dear"
On the same day the sage gang entered K
kcatng's saloon at the Excelsior House and in
about the same way robbed his till Of some 81
or So.

Last week the water was out of the cut and
as a matter of course, it would seem, there mus,
be fire. At about three O'Clock on Saturday
morning, the alarm sounded. The fire proved 10
be in sweetzer's building on Court St, but was
extnguished without aid Of the steamer. The
fire was first discovered by the night police in
Mr.. Molloncy's office, where cigar, thrown into
a saw.dust spttoon freshly filled, had at last
burned through, setting fire to the building.
They Immediately gave the alarm and entered

Iycenm Entertainment.

The entertainment given on last Friday night
by the Hugh school Lyceum was decidedly Il
success, aud displayed more talent ia thcatricais
than we confess we gave thcm credit for. Ehe
lenglth OF the programme looked quite iorn'da-
bic, but was none too long. The music OF the
evening was very good the finest selections,
however, being tho vocal duet 10y the Misses Nc
Neir and the instrumental dnet by Miss Lulu
Nash and Carrie Manly, both OF which were love
" aud eXrrllently rendered Miss Cheever read
"Horatius at the Bridge very well indeed not
outstanding its great length, which in the or
binary declaimcr', hand would have fallen dead
after the first half dozen stanZ&s.
We were much pleased with the play, The
Poor Of New York" the chief criticism We have
to make being the wretched management OF the
scenery which at times was simply abominabic,
and the lack of appreciation OF the spirit of a
few scenes, which at times was highly ludicrous,
SIS for in stance the death of Capt. Fairweathcr
and the last scene, where death, etc, were re-
ceived AS calmly and with as much unconcern as
one looks at dull panorama. As 1t was, the
rendering was vastly superior TO most cXhibi-
tious given 10y travelling companies, ana we
con graduate the young people most heartily on
their success, hopiag this will not he their only
effort TO amuse Us.
