SWELLING WORDS.

Miss Alice Ilgenfritz delivered an ad.
dress recently to the Fourth Iowa Dis.
trict Press Association. She thinks the
great fault of American newspapers is
the neglect of literary finish. Miss Alice
will find il she gets down to hard work
Oh a country newspaper that she will not
have much time to elaborate and polish
off her sentences. She will find it all
she car do to express herself at all. And
maybe it would not be bad plan for her to
turn her ideas loose without chewing them
over very often. A passage taken from
her address on the occasion alluded to
makes us think so: II am thankful"
said she, "for the iconoclastic spades which
are roofing up old saws that have become
stripped of all significance, like Cleo
patra's Needle, by being removed from
their natural surroundings"

The Pennsylvania Board of Pardons
perpetrated, at their recent meeting, a
truly graveyard joke. In place of tax
ing action in the case of two men con-
demned to be hanged, it was resolved
that if the prisoners shall not have been
executed before the next meeting of the
Board, the case will be inquired into. 1t
can hardly be presumed that the resolu-
ton will inspire a very great degree OF
hope in the mind Of the seeker after par
don. And yet this sporting with the life
and death question by the Pennsylvania
Board has an air of cheerfulncss about it
when compared with the Vermont Judges
sentence, which condemns a wretched
woman to a long term Of imprisonment,
the last three months of which are to be
served out by her in the seclusion Of a
dungeon, after which she is to be taken
out and hanged. After this, even Della.
ware with her whipping posts in public
thoroughfares, might be a tolerable com
munity to prospect for mercy in.

A HALr.BREED.s FATE.

At the recent New York election,
Hustled for Treasurer was beaten 81, 791
votes, while Davenport, along with him
on the Republican ticket, was elected by
a plurality vote Of Is, 1888. This makes
it evident that $4,000 Republicans
scratched Husted's name of their tick.
cts. And that this scratching was uni
versally INDUCED in appears from the
fact that Husted's average loss of votes
was about /, 100 for each Senate district,
and that his losses were evenly distrib-
uted through the counties. 1t is to be
hoped that this is only the beginning of
the. coming Kilkenny conflict.

No sooner has Gambetta become the
head of the French Cabinet than sensa.
tional journalism, speeches and announce
ments take the place Of quiet, serious
and temperate diplomacy in foreign af-
fairs. 1t seems impossible for the new
Premier to sink the political orator in
the governing statesman. The conse.
quence Of this is that Europe is filed
with unnecessary anxiety as to the. posi-.
ton. intentions and foreign policy of
the French Republic. This is not true
craftsmanship; it is sheer quacksry.

The further the examination into the
affairs OF the Newark Mechanics Bank
goes the worse it looks for all parties
concerned. Theodore F. Baldwin, the
paying-teller of the bank and a brother
of the defaulting Cashier, has been
arrested on a charge Of conspiring with
his brother to defraud the bank by means
of false entries. 1t occurs to the average
mind that it might perhaps be well to
investigate the President and Directors
who permitted all this rascality to be
carried on under their very eyes.

The talk of some combination by
which o Democrat will be elected Speaker
of the House of Representatives is idle.
A glance at the following table makes
such a proposition look like a political
impossibility. A full House consists OF
293 members, and they are distributed
as follows:
Republicans ........ ........ la
Democrats =. lou
Resdiuster Dems. OF Malone stripe :. 2
Republican Greenbackers, Missouri. 4
Dem. Greenbackers OF Maine and Texas. .
Uncertain .Greenbacker. ]. HyattSmith.
The two Readjusters belong to the Re-
publicans. The four Missouri Green
hackers may be expected to go the same
way without fail, as their Greenbackism
is but a graft on the Republican stock.
Mr.. Smith, who was elected in Brook
lyn by the aid Of Democratic votes, has
not defined his attitude except to indi-
cate clearly enough that he acknowl-
edges no obligation for the support which
gives him his seat in Congress. If there
are any votes which now seem uncertain
they will soon lose that seeming. They
float always towards power. The Re
publicans will have a majority IN the
House of Is or I6. Mr.. kasson has
lately become conspicuous as the candl-
date of the West; while Mr.. Hiscock oil
New York, who seemed almost to have
secured the place in advance, is, for the
present at least, in the background.
Kasson is said to be Mr.. Blaine's candl-
date. There is a grand scheme to open
up the Indian Territory, of which Blaine
is the moving spirit. With a powerful
combination of spectators to back hin
on the outside he wants to complete his
arrangements for manipulation by having
a strong friend of the project to foster II
in Congress. This is sufficient to account
for Kasson's sudden prominence in thu
candidacy.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-The Irish National
Convention assembled to-day inMcCormick
Hall, which was filled largely by delegates.
John T. Finerty of Chicago called the con-
vention to-order, and the Hon. Patrick G..
Collins OF Boston was nominated for per-
manent Chairman, but withdrew in favor
Of ex-Congressman William j. Hynes of
Chicago. The nomination OF the latter was
seconded by Patrick Ford, thus harmonic
ing the two elements OF the convention,
the "No Rent" and the "No Rent Abso-
lutely" factions. Hynes accepted the
nomination in a brief speech, and the'or-
ganization of the convention was completed
by the election Of a Vice-President and
Secretary, and the appointment of COM
mittees on credentials and resolutions.
The declarations Of the convention will
favor full support by all the Irish societies
in this country Of the Land League in Ire
land. 1t is probable that the convention
will conclude its business and adjourn to-
morrow.

Foss was in bed with his wife, and being young German recently arrived in this country did not understand what the armed posse wanted. He was greatly frightened and ran out of the house clad only in his pants and drawers. The of fcers followed, crying ''Stop!" and ''shoot him l' Two shots were fred and the entire party followed Foss through the snow across the prairie for a mile or more. Several more shots were fired, but Foss was apparently not hit Reaching Cedar river he plunged in and swan across. His pursuers, supposing he was carried under the ice and drowned, gave up the search. Monday morning Foss was discovered standing in the icy water up to his knees and clinging to wire fence. His feet were frozen and his body chilled through His hands, arms and face were badly lacerated by ice and brush. He is in critical condition.
