lug the remark, and if it was his intention
to bulldoze them we have but to ask will
the intelligent colored men heed such
twaddle and vote as so many cattle because
a big bellied bully bites his lips, trowns
majestically, stands on tip toe and while
waving red bandanna, exclaims in So
norous voice: "Report them to MEw the
villains, if they refuse to be our tools?
John Brein, the defaulting treasurer of
the Ancient Order of Hlbernians who was
lately brought back to this city from Kan
sas City by Mr.. Mike O'Donnel, and who
now languishes in Me county Jail, was yes
terday morning visited by several of the
prominent members of the Order and asked
to give up the money. He was in no very
communicative mood; said he did not have
the money, but refused to tell what he had
done with it. Apparently he has no con-
ception of the enormity of his crime and
rests easy under the impression that his at
torneys will succeed in so manipulating
matters in his favor as to clear him.
Capt. Thos. w. Shields, who has been
indefatigable in his efforts to have the boys
recognized in this campaign, has now CON-
pleted arrangements for organizing and
equipping the youngsters. He desires
them to meet him in the hall Of the Roost-
ers tonight, where and when all prelimina-
ries will be arranged, and if poss'
ible, complete organization effected.
We would urge the boys to turn out in full
force and encourage the captain in his dis,
interested work by giving him rousing
meeting. All boys below twenV-one years
are expected to be present and receive a
torch and uniform.
Officer Lally yesterday morning took
charge of colored woman on Twenty
eighth street, who has for some time been
wandering about the upper portion of town
making herself generally Objectionable by
her crazy behavior, and locked her in the
county Jail. She is said to be in a really
pitiable state of mind, and is suffering a
measure Of distress the like of which no
bodily i'll can produce. A continual PAIN
full struggle between the convictions OF rea-
son and the suggestions of disease are ap-
parent and her mind is constantly tor
mented by the dread of approaching
calamity which causes her to sing and pray
and call upon God for assistance. She will
have the early attention of the court.
The frail inmates Of several Of the
down town castles Of iniquity yesterday APP
peared before Justice Olmsted, on the order
of Officer Bunker, to answer to the charge
of being inmates of houses Of ill-fame.
They We're eleven in number and seven of
these, remembering Brother Comings, took
q change of venue to him, and as they
gracefully entered the august presence of
that worthy he rubbed his
hands, bowed, smiled and oked
and, finally, leaning back in his chair and
placing his spectacles Alright on his nose,
called the court to order and left the i'm.
preston on those present that he would be
a wise man were he not otherwise The
women being asked what they had to say
to the charge replied that they were guilty,
and this being the case, the Squire could
do naught else but fine them as the law d.
reefs, which he accordingly did. The four
women who failed TO take an appeal from
Judge Olmsted's court were each fined ten
dollars and costs-making total Of thir-
teen dollars.
Not very long ago-perhaps week or
two-Joe Robarts delivered speech in this
county at Simon Marshal's, in which he
said to the colored brethren present, while
he raised himself on tp.toe, II want every
man of you to vote the straight Republican
ticket and want every man of you Il
make it his business to see to 1t that hi:
nelghbor does the same thing and if any OF
your neighbors or acquaintances do moi
vote the ticket straight want you to RE-
PORT THEM TO Me-" We have it from ar
intelligent colored man, who was in the au
dicnce, that Robarts used the exact words
above attributed TO him, and that he laid
particular stress upon it, that any colored
man who dared to be man enough to
scratch the Republican ticket should be
reported to him. And what If they
DO scratch the ticket and ARE reported tc
him. What will the great Joe do about it
There are those who believe that in tina
case he will return them into slavery or vii
afflict them with poverty, disease or ever
death. 1t is possible that Joe will do al
this, but it is hardly probable. We do no
believe that he could find it in his heart e
