tianity mentioned. This is a country of free
thought, and the only place in which the sub
ject of religion is mentioned is provision of
the constitution declaring absolute freedom
of religious belief and practice. The intro
duction of the Apostles creed as preamble
to the resolution was an insult to nine tenths
of the people of the country, who regard it
as an unmeaning mass of absurditieg. The
publication of the poem in question was an
insult to the House, for the reason that such
productions have no proper place in the Off
cial proceedings of deliberative body. The
copyrighting of the production was viola
ton of the usages of the House, but as it is
more question of taste than anything else,
we are willing to pass it by. The main prop
osition of Mr.. Downey was an absurdity that
would never have been seriously considered,
and was only admitted through courtesy. 1t
is to be regretted for MIR. Downey's own sake
that he has seen fit to abuse that courtesy.
He has written himself down an ass, and
has done more harm to the cause he sought
to serve than he can ever hope to undo.

Capt. j. FL. Reamey's Project.

To facilitate transfers of river frieghts to and
from the various railroads and also their receipt
and delivery by wagons Capt. Reaney proposes
plan which may at first appear objectional to
citizens but which they will not, We imagine,
stoutly object when they come to consider the
matter. His plan is for the use of all the le-
wee between Jackson and SibleY streets to be
granted for this purpose, for the present Ievee
warehouse, or better one in its place to be set
a little higher up the bank so as to allow q
railway track being extended along it's river
front; and for the putting all of that
portion of the levee between the warehouse
and the opposite sidewalk under roof, so that
freight may be- piled and handled under it
without exposure. The details of the plan
would of course include rail and wagon ways
and platforms for loading and unloading
goods; and also an arrangement by which the
railway companies would havesequal privileges,
and transfer charges would be kept as low
as possible. The idea. briefly, is to pro-
vide great union depot for river freights and
the handling of the same. The objection
which will first be made on the part of the city
will be to surrendering this section OF the levee
But practically it has already been surrender
ed to the railroads and steamboats,, and its
further occupation, as proposed, would not add
to the present hindrances of its use by the city.
In fact the city has now little use of or fer 1T,
except as draymen cross it with loads of freight,
and it will be still less used when the new rail
way freight houses and the union passenger de-
pot are completed.

a DARING ROBBERY.
A Swede Shows His Money and Thereb
LGses It.

A Swede Shows His Money and Thereby
Leses It.
An account was given yesterday of how a
granger was victimized out of 800, and
hardly had the story got out Oh the streets,
when second and an enlarged edition OF
the story was reported at police headquarters.
This time the confidence game looks
more like daring highway robbery than
acquiring wealth by insinuating advances.
The victim this time is Ole Anderson An
denberg, and he gave away or had taken
from him $3.50. He and family arrived
here on the 6:20 A. M. West Wisconsin train,
and were en- route to Benson.
Between this city and Hudson he fell in
with nice young man, and while deeply
immersed in very confidential and friendly
talk, all about Benson, to which place the
young man was destined as well as Anden-
berg, the fellows pal stepped up and asked
for 800 or so. The nice young man hadn't
the sum, but Andenberg had and pulled out
his roll of $3.50 to accommodate his new
friend with loan. AS a matter of form,
before the loan was effected or the
wealth displayed, the new friend
handed 81 900 bond over to Andenberg as
security until they reached st. Paul.
The display of such large roll exasperated
the confidence men. They likely thought
Andenburg was or could only be small
victim, and when ne showed up 80 hand
somely, they grabbed his roll of money out
of his hand, jumped for the car door,
through it and off the train as it slowed up
at the post side track near the harvester
works. Andenberg SO soon as he was rallied
rushed after the men, but he could not get
out on the Car platform, as they had in some
way secured the car-door. So safely secured
it, that Conductor Kemp, when called upon,
could not open the door for fully ten
minutes.
It is believed these two confidence opera
tors are the same who turned the clever
trick of the day before between here and
Minneapolis. However, there's little hope
entertained of their capture, as in both cases
the victims seemed so excited that they have
failed to give any definite description where
by they might be recognized by the police.

The question of whether Delegate Downey,
of Wyoming, is entitled to have copy
righted MiItonic poem printed in the Con-
qresston0I Record at the public expense,
created some discussion in both houses of
Congress on Thursday. Mr.. Downey seems
to be a unique specimen of mankind-a
cross between fanatic and fool. A few
DAYS ago he introduced preamble and reso-
luton into the House and asked its adoption.
The preamble was simply the recital of the
patent lie that this is Christian nation and
a copy of the Apostles creed and some SINH
lar drivel, and the resolution proceeded to
appropriate half million dollars for the
purpose of having the walls of the hall of
the House of Representatives Illuminated
with frescoes depicting scenes in the life
of Jesus Christ.
The incident would probably have been
passed by as an absurd though perhaps we'll
intentioned attempt at humor at the expense
of the Christian religion, and out of respect
for that religion would have been allowed to
pass from remembrance but for the idiotic
after-clap. Mr.. Downey obtained the con-
sent of the House to have printed in the
Record an argument in favor of his resolu-
ton that had never been delivered. The
members were astounded on Thursday morn
ing to find several pages of the Record oc-
cupied with an ismbic poem entitled "The Ina
mortals," and dedicated to the Congress of
the United States. To add to their amaze
ment they found that the screed had been
copyrighted in the Office of the librarian of
Congress, a proceeding hitherto unknown
in Congressional history. The Senate pro-
posed to have it expunged from the Record.
but the House contented itself with refer
ring the question of whether it was proper to
copyright any part of the proceedings of that
body to committee.
The incident is not particularly suggestive
except 80 far as it stamps Mr.. Downey as an
arrant fool. In the first place he starts out
with the assumption that this is Christian
nation, which it is not in any sense. In nc
sentence of the constitution or laws of the
country ia the name of the founder of Chris

New YORK. April 23.-The necessity for adj

travelersl and emigrants to and from Europe,
including the forwarding of letters, baggage
and merchandise, and introducing new

chiefly Americans. The company has absorbed
the leases and good will of the business hith-
erto conducted by Henry F. Gillig d Co.. 449
Strand, London, with branch office IN New
York. The capital stock has been fixed
at one million dollars, half of
which has been subscribed. The following
