THE platforms of both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties favor
and advise the calling of a convention
to revise the State constitution. This
is the solemn and deliberate judgment
of both of the great political parties,
as expressed in their platforms at their
recent State conventions. Therefore
10 good Democrat or Republican who
proposes to be governed by the assem-
bied wisdom Of his party in conven-
ton, can fail to support this call Of a
Democratic legislature for Constitu-
tioRal convention.

Coasting.

Who doesn't remember the time when,
as children 10 the long ago, they went coast
ing with the girls and how they tugged the
sled back up the hill just for the tun of 60
ing down again and passing ali the others
10 their rapid course; and how sometimes
sled, boys, girls and all brought up 10 the
snow 10 a confused heap. Fun? OF course
1t was. Last evening we saw these scenes
repeated, only the children we're larger
than those of old memories. There were
two prominent lawyers OF the city and their
wives, stove merchant and his wife. a
bank teller and his wife and several who
expect TO be wives, acting for all the world
just like truant children; all sitting in a
row, astride long bob sled, the steersman
in front. coming down the hill above Capt
Robinson's residence with a whoop and a
laugh. They were having reAl. genuine
fun, On one Of these trips the pilot lost
control of his craft. There was chorus
of screams, a general finding of theu-
selves, a shaking of clothes. and I'D the
hill again. Logic and legal lore, forensic
eloqueDce and special pleadings; the price
of stoves, bank discounts, fashion, six-but-
ton gloves, week Of prayer, the latest scan
dial, were all forgotten, and why not? Lit
tie children have no right to monopolize
all the pleasures of life.

Jerry Long, who was released fTcm iail
yesterday, where he was sent for stealing
cigars from the Union House, applied to
Capt. Blackburn for permission to stay
over night in the Marshal's Office, and the
captain took him up into the Office and

Mrs. Weir met Capt Blackburn and told
him that derry Long had Just stolen 40
overcoat from her place and that she had
run hin" up the alley near her place,
butcouid not catch him. The captain said
he guessed not, as he had him up stairs
m the office. On going to look he found
that Jerry had slid through a small tran
som near the ceiling; nor could he be
found in the city. Capt Blackburn then
went to Davenport and found him asleep
in the police headquarters, but no over.

was accordingly locked up over there.

Inconsistency OF Rev. Father Mackin.

Inconsistency or Rev. Father Mackin.
Island City Lodge No. A, of Workman, in
this city, has just had little experience
which shows the Rev. Father MackiD UP
in what appears to be a strange inconsist.
ency for Catholic priest, even if it does
not partake of more mercenary charac-
ter. at the time Collins, who was killed
at the c., R. /. & P. yard, Joined the Lodge
he obtained the consent of the priest to
the act, and supposed that he was not do
ing anything that would conflict with his
religion.
Collins, having witnessed the burial of q
brother Workman. expressed desire to
one of the members that when he died he
wanted the Lodge to assist at the funeral.
In accordance with this known wish, the
members of his Lodge met last evening to
make arrangements to attend the funeral.
They then learned that Father Mackin had
informed the family that if the Lodge took
part in the funeral that the body could moi
be buried 10 the Catholic cemetery. Think
ing this most unusual procedure 10 the
face of the fact that the same priest hao
given the deceased permission to join the
Lodge, they appointed committee to wall
upon the priest. This committee per
formed that duty this morning, and found
the priest positive in his refusal to permit
the Lodge to take part in the funeral lie
said in effect that the widow could take
her choice, but, if the Lodge took part 10
the funeral, the body could not be taken
into the church or buried in holy ground,
They requested permission to take the
| body to the church, and, if he did
not want them 10 the church as Lodge,
they would remain outside, ard, after The
funeral ceremonies in the church, they
would then take the body and accompany
it to the cemetery. This was also refused
and, finding that they could not comply
with the known wishes of their deceased
brother, they very wisely decided not tC
take part in the funeral and thereby cause
trouble between the family and the priest
This action of the priest is dou btless il
accordance with the requirements os the
church, but, very naturally, there arises
in the minds Of the members OF the Lodge
the question, whether the permission
given to the deceased TO jim the Lodge
whereby his family will now receive 81, 900
does not conflict with the requirements Of
the church. This circumstance will have
the effect to prevent members of thi:
church from providing for their families, il
the event of death, by joining any of the
beneficiary orders whose workings are
protected by secret rituals.
