"ie'hU Uc!S OL the ponce lOrce regarded
Mayor Kings recent appointment Of
colored men had expression yesterday
in the resignation of one of their
number, Robert J. Jordan, of the
fifth district The man was one OF
the most reliable officers in the SER
vice. Since the new appointments
made he has exhibited great dissatis-
faction, and, as is asserted, has done
all in his power to foster similar feel
ings amoug his comrades. On Sun
day hight he took his final step. He
approached the house sergeant on
duty and handing him mis- shield and
club announced that he had con-
cluded to give up his situation, not
being willing "to sleep in the same
rooW with a uigger,' or otherwise be
closely associated with ooe. He then
left the station, and yesterday Lieu.
tenant Weir formally reported the
resignation to Chief Givin, stating
the cause as assigned. ...
To reporter who saw him at his
residence, Poplar street, near Twenty
eighth, Mr. Jordan reafirmed the
grounds of his action. 1t was fual,
be said he wanted to have no more
to do with the concern. He ''couldn't
stand a niger" He was Republi-
can and had voted the straight ticket
since he had voted at all, but when
the niggcrs were freed he thought
that was enough. He resigned be-
cause the presence of the TWO men
would be personally unpleasant, to
him The Lieutenant had said that,
they were to be treated just the same
way as other men, aud If any one
disIiked it that he had better resign.
He had himself followed this advice.
He thought they would soon be
nuisance to every one. The colored
turnkey was already the checklist
man in the place. He expected the
new. w.couers would soon insist on
sleeping in the same beds as white
men. They would demand it as
right. They were always pushing on.
They were not content with having
a school Of their Own, but they must
send their children to those for whites.
He did not think it right. He
thought the police would soop amount
to very little that white man need
care about if this is kept on. When
the men talked the matter over on
Thursday night there were not six in
the district who weren't prepared to
resign and tell his Honor the Mayor
just why, .'but the bosses got round
among them" and the affair was
smoothed over. He meant the lieu
tenants and the sergeauts by "the
bosses," though be had nothing much
to say against them. He knew many
Of the men would 60 right out only
they have wives and families and are
hard up. He thought all the best
would get away as fast as they could
get other work. It was all we'll
enough to say they must submit be-
cause the Mayor had given an order.
He noticed the Walnut street folks
did not allow the colored people any
more privileges than they did forty
years ago. A colored man had to goin
and out by the back door, and these
same Walnut street people had pri-
vata schools that a niger couldn't
get his 0ose in. He didn't see that it
was right TO say to man that he
must associate with uiggers because
he was poor aud had to work for
living.

The Administration of General Gar
field is likely to be signalized by the ad-
mission of two or three new States to
the Union. Dakota has already sufi-
cient population to advance from the
condition of Territorial tutelage, but
may be kept back a year or two by the
desire of the people along the line of the
Northern Pacific Railroad for a separate
government. They are about as far
from Yankton in point of time as Iowa
is from New York City. The compile
tion of the railroad lines to Montana
will undoubtedly give that Territory in
habitants enough to form State within
two or three years. New Mexico might
have demanded admission long ago, but
her slow-going people were Indifferent
to the privileges of self-government, and
preferred to save the expense of State
machinery. The new American element
going into the Territory will soon
change all that

The Candidate.

Father who travels the road so late p
Hush, my child, It's the candidate;
Fit example of human woe
Early he comes and late he goes.
He greets the women with courtly grace,
He kisses the baby's dirty face,
He calls to the fence the farmer at work,
He bores the merchant, he bores the clerk,
The blacksmith, while his anvil rings
He greetS, and this is the song he sings
"Howdy, howdy, howdy do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
All! it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the wOrkingman.' ''
Husband, who is that man at the gate ?"
Hush, my love, it's the candidate"
Husband, why can't he work like you?
Has he nothing at home to do?"
My dear, whenever man is down,
No cash at home, no credit in town,
Too stupid to preach and too proud to
beg.
Too timid to rob, and too lazy to dig,
Then over his horse his legs he filings
And to the dear people this song he
sings:
"Howdy, howdy, howdy do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
Ahl it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the workingman."
Brothers, who labor early and late,
Ask these things of the candidate:
What's his record? How does he stand
At home; no matter about his hand,
Be it hard or soft, so it be not prone
To close over money not his own.
Has he in view no thieYing plan?
Is he honest and capable ?-he is our
man.
Cheer such a one till the welkin rings,
Join in the chorus when thus he sings:
"HOwdy, hOwdy, howdy do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
Ali it fits my fist as no other Can,
The horny hand of the wOrkingman."

A LAD in the Kansas Penitentiary,
who confessed a few years ago to hav-
ing murdered at Topeka man named
Farris, now poses before the public as a
devoted son. He says he became con-
vinced at once that his father had COM
mitteed the murder, but at the COrOner'S
inquest shielded him and convicted him
self. The father then got out on bail,
and the boy remained in Jail five months
During his confinement the father visit
ed the son frequently. On one Of these
visits the boy was told that there was a
bag containing pair of boots on top of
a cupboard in the jailer's Office, and the
father wanted them secured and burn
ed. There were two doors between the
prison and the office, but to the surprise
of the boy the jailer strangely left these
two doors unlocked and the bag was
very easily got, and, in the presence of
other prisoners, burned in the stove.
Two of these witnesses are now, in the
Penitentiary. These boots, it seems,
were the fathers, and bore marks that
pointed to his guilt. After that the
boy was persuaded TO sacrifice himself
to save his father, upon the promise
that pardon would be procured in a
few years on the ground of his youth
fulness. Afterward the mother visited
the prisoner, and he thereupon confessed
to her that he had killed Farris in a
quarrel. When the case came up for
trial the young man pleaded guilty to
the charge, and wholly exonerated his
father from all completely in the bloody
deed. After the prisoner had been in
the Penitentiary year, his father and
mother went to California. After five
years the mother returned and endeav-
ored to procure pardon for her boy,
but failed. This intelligence was con-
veyed by letter to the father, and he
killed himself. The knowledge of the
suicide, however, did not reach the boy
until some time last September. This is
one of the most remarkable statements
in criminal annals. That boy of six
teen should have the nerve to consign
himself TO disgraceful imprisonment to
shields cowardly father seems incred-
! lible.

VENNOR'S WEATHER.
The Sort that He Iutends to Give Us
the Rest of the Winter.
Venuor's Almanac.

Vennor's Almanac.
AS will have been seen from the fore
cast of December, 1 anticipate New
Years callers will have heavy sleighing
this year from Montreal to Washington,
d. c., and that cold snap during the
first quarter of this month will preserve
it for that period. l expect blockades
of snow in the United States about the
7th and sth of January, and rainy days
during the month will be exceedingly
few. The second quarter will open with
heavy snow falls, and terminate in
cold snap. The middle of the month
will bring snow falls which will termi-
nate in milder weather toward the end
of the third quarter. This thaw, which
will be interrupted by brief cold spell,
will extend from about the 18th of the
month into February. The record of
this month will show it will have been
a severe one, aud tie general condition
of the weather will probably remind us
of some of what are called ''real old
fashioned winters"
The mild spell with which January
closes will probably continue well into
this month, with the exception of day
or two up to the 18th of the month,
with balmy, spring-like weather prevail
ing in many parts, and snow rapidly
disappearing. A couple of days of
clustering. with rain or snow, will be
followed by snow storms and cold
weather throughout Ontario and the
Western United States. This term will
be followed about the 10th by storms of
wind, rain and snow previous to the set
ting in of colder term. With the be-
ginning of the last week of the month
brilliant, mild, sprink-like weather will
again appear, melting the snow and rem
dering sleighiag impossible in some To-
calities. A few days before the close of
this month high winds are likely to pre-
vail, with gales around New York,
Long Island Sound and other points,
with blustery weather in Canada and
the Northern United States. The last
two days are, however, likely to be fair,
and the month will end with little snow
on the ground.

TEN NPERsoNS-twO women and eight
children-were burned to death or suffo-
Gated one day last week, by fire IN a
tenement house in New York, andssix
persons were injured. The fire vas
caused by the explosion of some gaso-
line which two plumbers, who werele-
pairing the water-pipes in the house,
We're using. The pecuniary loss sgas
small. but the flames spread so rapidly
that the escape of the women and chil-
dren, who were about eating their
breakfasts, was cut off almost Instant
ly. Many sad scenes took place, and
much presence of mind was shown by
some of those who escaped.

BISHOP ELDER, of Cincinnati, advises
Roman Catholic parents to give tlleii
children full Christian names, and Aoi
authorizations or pet names. If they
please to make use of these familiarlY in
the family, it is well enough. But when
young girl is grown up, it is not wei
to allow every young man that speaks tc
her to use a pet name as if he weresss
intimate as brother. Although thisis
only little matter it itself, it contf5b-
utes its share toward lessening lie
maidenly reserve which is so beaut# #hl
and SO serviceable an ornament. Ut
likewise detracts from the Christian
dignity of womanhOod, for one to be II

tian name, and entitled to the respect of
having it used.

THE queen of England, in her speech
at the opening of Parliament spoke OF
the relations with other powers as
friendly, but alluded to some portions
of the Berlin treaty still unfulfilled. She
regretted that the rising in the Trans
vaat had set aside, for the time, any
plan for securing the settlers full con-
troll of their own local affairs, and ex-
pressed the wish to have the opportuni-
ty for friendly action on her part. with
a view to the restoration of peace in
Basutoland. The still unsettled condi-
tion of affairs in Afghanistan prevent
ed the withdrawal of the Candabar force,
but this would be accomplished sooner
or later. She entertained a more favor
able expectation of the revenue for the
year than could be formed at Its COM
mencement. Regretting the disturbed
condition of Ireland, she apprised the
Lords and gentlemen that proposals
would be immediately submitted to them
for intrusting the government with ad-
ditiOnal powers necessary in her judg-
ment, not only for the vindicatiOn of Or
der and public law, but likewise to Sc
cure on behalf of her subjects protection
for life and property and personal lib
erty of action. She recommended fur
ther development of the principles of
the land law of 1870, and announced a
bill for establishing county govern
n ents in Ireland, and for abolishing
punishment in the army and

Needs and Wants.

The mistake of people as to their ne
cessities causes large share of the
chronic "hardupness" in the world, and
not little of the disappointments and
unhappiness. 1t is wonderful, for exam
pie, how little difference it makes with
one at the end of the year, whether he
or she has worn many suits of clothing
or few-whether they were rich or
plain, fashionable or off-style. Rational
people are finding out, with encoura-
ging rapidity, that even the little world
of ones friends and acquaintance cares
vastly less what kind of raiment one
wears, than how one conducts oneself
inside of it, while the outside world, for
whose eyes so many people dress, cares
nothing all. Interpreted as it was meant,
there is truth enough in the saying that
sit is not what is on the plates, but what
is said over them, that makes the feast"
We have, as our readers have had occa-
sion to know, no sympathy with the af-
fected Indifference to good food which
characterize some self-styled "high
thinkers" Such people are ordinarily
not to be trusted behind the pantry door
when there are any odd joints or mince
pies within reach. But there is, never
theless, vast deal of money squander-
ed on the tables of those who need to
save it to spend in oteer directions. No
body ever suffered for want of dessert,
if the dinner was good for anything.
No normal appetite requires the variety
that cumbers the breakfast and dinner
tables of even the sO-called middle
classes. AS for the many-coursed dys-
pepsia breeders the soup, fish, meats,
game, entree, double-dessert dinners
anv man who will spend his money on
these when there are so. many ways in
which he can easily lose it without fur
ther injury to himself, is undeserving of
pity. The point of these and other like
remarks that might be made on sensible
and practical economies, and wise
classification of needless wants and the
highest needs, is that many people could,
if they would, enjoy not only the Sum-
mer trips and vacations which they
must now forego, but many other de-
lightful and helpful things. Half dol
lar day saved OH perfectly useless ex-
penditures would give many family
delightful trip to the mountains or de-
lightful trip to the mountains or the sea,
or a season of Summer rest and change
which they can't afford to do without.
There isn't enough brains put into the
average expenditure of money.-Golden
Rule.

As A FLESH PRODUCER, one pound of
eggs is equal to one pound of beef. A
hen may be calculated to consume one
bushel of corn yearly, and to lay twelve
dozen, or eighteen pounds OF eggs. This
is equivalent to saying that three and
one-tenth pounds of corn will produce,
when fed to hen, one pound OF eggs.
A pound of pork, on the contrary, re-
quires about five and one-tenth pounds
of corn for its production. When eggs
are "a cents dozen and pork 10
cents a pound, we have bushel OF corn
feed, producing sass worth Of eggs, and
S1.O5 of pork. Judging from these facts,
eggs must be economical in their pro
ductisn and their eating. and especially
fit for the laboring man in replacing
meat.
