A Nation Of KiclIoro.

some Of the papers are making 2
great fuss because the President aud
Officers of the Navy and nlenlbess u
the Cabinet ride about iu EeveoUe
cutters and vessels belonging 10 the
Government 1T the expense Of the
people. Well, what Of II: Those
i,,en arr placed In what ws suppsse
are hish pxwitiOns, aud while they
are in office there should be nething
too good f'r them. We do not ex.
pect men who are worth millions VI
dollars, aud who NEED never 20 .
stroke OF work, to accept positions
when they have got to Do ten mems
work, to walk or hire . hack, or ~
about In fishing smack. They are
our rulers for the time being, aud
should l,e allowed all Of the dtstinc.
tiOu that rank gives them. IL eoaoe!
Of the men was working half ~ hard
for . railroad company ~ they DO ior
the people, they would be provldeo
with palace cars aud. everything W
make them comfortable. IL they
work for the people they are abused
for what they do aud for what they
fail to do, and II they take ride on
government vessel they are nGt;s
thieves, squandering the peoples
money. II this Government cant
afford to burn few tons Of coal 70
take the President around the coast
IL had better sell out. IL the presa-.
dent were working for . farmer, ana
there were . dozen horses In the sta-
bic doing nothing, and he wanted 20
60 to town to see his girl, and SHOULD
the farmer refuse to let him have .
horse, or should charge him for the
use Of Il, the farmer would be skin
flint, and It b 90 with . Government.
We are . nation Of kickers and We
ought to be kicked, and have some
sense fired into us. From this out
We hope the President will feel at lib
erty to take any vessel he wants, 90
where ne pleases and when he gets
through with it haul 1t up on the
tank where it will keep dry and
hitch 1t with piece Of BEDFORD tn .
stump, and II anybody says anything
about It tell him to go to Hehenna.

A Negro Lion-Tamer Killed by
Iona.
A negro was replacing the regular
lion-tainer, who was wounded at
Feroyjus, was entering the lions
cage Of Sangery' menagerie at Cannes
when his foot slipped and he fell on
his face. The li0ls, with their natur.
al instinct, rushed upon the PROSTATE
man, and repeatedly tore his flesh,
. young one especially holding him
prostrute and tearing his thigh. An
assistant repelled four Of the lions
with his pitch fork, but the fifth ~
fused to let 60 until . red hot bar had
been thrust down his mouth, when
the unfortunate negro, still conscious,
dragged himself out Of the cage, and
was carried of bleeding. The spec
tators meanwhile were almost par
alyzed with horror, which WAS soon
changed into q panic when 1t Was
perceived that the door was open for
ut least thirty seconds while the ne
grO was being carried of. The lions
might have sprung upon the assem-
bly,. A rush was made to the en-
frances, and the alarm which spread
outside was only ended by the Opror-
tune action Of IN assistant wlle Slam
lned the door Of the cage. The negro
having reached the hospital, though
accompanied by doctor, was refused
because lie WAS without an
order. He was taken lack to the
circus aud again to the hospital,
where he was finally admitted. This
