At the Police Court.

1t can now be plainly seen what an
old deceiver Bijah is. When the old
clerk went out he sang song of grief
and bought him mince-pie and candy, as
reported last week Everybody expect
ed he would turn the cold shoulder to
the new clerk, or perhaps leave an apple
soak led with prussic acid on his desk,
but everybody was disappointed. Bijah
met the new clerk at the door, dotted his
hat, bowed very low, and said:
1T gives me the biggest kind of pleas
ure to welcome you to our midst. You
are a gentleman and scholar, and it
won't be three weeks before we will all
be wondering how on earth we ever kept
that miserable scalswag around here so
long. / beg of you to accept these
great big California pears as token of
my personal esteem, and now
Come in and take possession,

And when you want humble friend

HIS SUPPORT"
The police warned Chicago Jim over
month ago that he must either find work
or keep out of sight. as he would not be
permitted to loaf the streets and put in
his nights at the depots or the police
lodging g-house. James passed all the
warnings by, and was at last escorted to
a cell on charge of vagrancy. ..
. It's all for Spite" explained the
prisoner as he was walked out. "This
officer who pulled me in wanted to bor-
row my gold watch and store clothes to
go to dance in, and when / wouldn't
lend them he gave me the collar"
Where is your gold watch?" asked
the Court. iE
81 hid it out here in the suburbs,
along with my medals and Sunday
clothes, so that the police couldn't get
'em" replied James. .. .....:.

he pulled out knife, a two-cent piece,

less be was sure ne would Qet the
Nov. 80, the reply came from Oregon;
" MUST raise the money! can't make the
fee contingent" but the amount was re-
duced from $4,000 to Ss,o007- ~, 900
for the Republican eleotor and $1,000
for other expenses. Still Tllden hesitated
about paying out the money Without an
assurance that the bogus vote would be
counted and elect him President Ian as
surance he could not have before the
day of Inauguration. He therefore sug,
gested an effort to get the Legislature to;
gether to choose an elector in Watts
place the Legislature being Democratic.
But there was not time for this, and the
Oregon conspirators would not trust
Tilden till the 4th Of March, nor take
the chances on the success Of the scheme.
Finally, the 5000 was deposited. The
Republican elector was not secured, but
the IS 600 was used up all the same,
CrOnin receiving $4,000 as his share and
the balance being employed in "ex-
penses." The Governor was "all right
without reward, as one Of the dispatches
said. ''.i'' 3Hf.1r so a.f.Hss-1 'o sfc s7
If there is any decency left in the
Democratic party we should think il
would revolt at further resistance in en-
deavoring TO place Mr.. Tilden in the
chief office of the nation after this dis
graceful exposure. 1t was said that the
Republican press treated Mr.. Tilden too
harshly during the campaigns but we
can recall no charge nor characterization
during the canvass which does justice to
Tildens part in this Oregon affair.
While Mr.. Tilden's railroad operations
and income-tax falsidcations induced the
Republicans to denounce him as an unfit
person to place in the Presidential chair,
we think none of his opponents would
have accused him as capable of seizing
the office by bribery and purchase. That
he was willing to do 50, that he made q
bold and determined effort to accomplish
it, that he advanced the money which
he thought would secure it, is now GER
tain from the dispatches which passed
between New York and Oregon. He
approved the purchase Of Republican
elector and furnished the money for that
purpose, and it was through no fault Of
his, and through no lack of Willingness
to use corrupt means, that the scheme
failed. This exposure comes in the light
of . national disgrace infinitely more
damaging than the Belknap corruption
and it viii be cited in all countries as an
evidence that American politics is sc
permeated with corruption that not ever
the office of President is exempt from
the general barter and sale. The coun
try can scarcely afford to confirm thi!
impression by seating the man who il
responsible for creating it, CAicdg,

A solemn scene was witnessed at the
Penitentiary Sunday. 1t was the death
of one of the prisoners. Several years
ago a murder was committed near
Springfield, and two men, named re-
spectively Pool and McCaffrey, were
tried as the perpetrators and sentenced
to ten years in the Penitentiary. Nc
Caffrey insisted upon his Innocence, but
circumstances pointed to him too clearly
for his own unsupported evidence to
avail anything, and he was forced to
enter upon his term as the penalty. For
some time past he has been slowly sink
ing under Consumption, and on Saturday
night he felt that his hours onearth were
numbered Just before his death he
called the nurses Of the hospital around
him and asked that the man supposed to
have been his accompfice should be
called, and when Pool had come Me-
