Beecher Tremendously AppIauded

cincinnati Commercial Special.
Mr.. Beecher, in his lecture last
night. made remark that was ire
mendously applauded by the audi
ence, with the exception of the
congressman present. Referring to
the passage OF the anti-Chinese bill,
i'll order to make little political
capital OH the Pacific coast, he asked :
"What kind of craftsmanship is it
that for this price would barter the
privilege and freedom of civil lib
erty that have been the glory of the
world? Statesmen would not do it.
Peradventure there will be found
ten politicians that would not do it.
All the rest would. When a man is
politician there is nothing on
Gods earth that he cares for except
his own selfish success. Such men
should not lead generous people
people who believe in religion and
humanity. Such men should not be
leaders to so great people as this"

Newspaper Enterprise.

Some idea of the extent to which
newspaper enterprise is capable OF
being carried is furnished by the
last Sunday edition of the New York
Herald. Think of nearly six thous-
and business notices, covering one
hundred advertising columns, to
say nothing of the reading matter,
and their proper classification under
appropriate heads! Yet all tins was
done, and twenty-six and a quarter
tons of paper were printed and de-
liVered TO newsmen in seven hours.

A CONVICT, just discharged from
Sing Sing prison, is lecturing in
New York for the purpose of expos
ing alleged irregularities of that
criminal institution. He charges
venalIty upon all the officials from
the warden down, and says that
money has been used in securing
escapes which have been made, and
that many of the well-to-do con-
victs drink heavily, while whisky is
distilled in the institution, and that
the managers have grown very rich
upon its manufacture. We are pre-
pared to believe almost any story
that comes as to the management of
this hole of iniquity.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR is such a kind,

seven years imprisonment, because.
as cashier, he got away with Bos-

RECENT developments in congress
show that the speaker of the house
may order things left out of the
Congressional Record if he thinks
proper; so now, whenever men,
bers indulge in slips of the tongue,
all they have to do is to consult
with the speaker, and, if on the right
side, obtain his consent to have
their talk left out of the published
proceedings.

upon these lands. Owing to the
heavy and continuous rains that

impracticable to visit any considera-
BILE portion of the country and, after
spending two weeks in vain efforts
to do so, l returned home to await
more favorable weather. Again, in

with the important duty assigned

confronted me = continuous rains.
