Brother Brinker and Sister Allen Both
Holy.

The Paris appeal appears to agree
with the LEDGER in regard to Sister
Allen and Brother Brinker as the fol-
lowing from that paper demonstrates:
'sAt the sanctified meeting last Sun
day, Mr.. Aliens sermon was made up
of an onslaught upon ministers of all
denominations, but more especially
on the methodist ministry. He ac-
cused them all of preaching for mon
ey, and said that most Of them lived
in better style than the people who
paid them their salaries. Bro. Allen
breaches for money, too, as we learn
that he received $40 for his services
at the fourteen days meeting. 1t was
a terribly high price for the return he
gave the public. We consider Bro.
Allen very common preacher, and
believe he ought to put on petticoats.
In the evening Mrs. Laura Brinker
spoke for an hour and q half. We do
not know whether to call it a sermon
or speech on woman's rights. Any
way, Mrs. Brinker made real good,
sensible talk, which was full Of good
advice to both saint and sinner; and
we are free to say that il the people
would heed what she said about wear
ing bangs and false HAIR 1--WE thought
Laura had on false hair), and gave
the men raking over the Goals about
their filthy habit Of chewing tobacco
in churches, all of which was true and
right. OF her sermon, or speech, we
have no fault to find, and the only
thing that made us feel bad was to
see Laura's dear hubby so completely
under petticoat government. Mrs.
Brinker has more sense, and, OF
course, gab, in one hour than Allen
ever had in his life, and has brass
enough to face the world. AS fol-
Allen, we do not think he could preach
a regular sermon to save his life. Ht
has no mental calibre, no voice, nc
sense, no style and "no nothing" but
a disposition to gull the unwary. |

The Truth About the Manitou Disaster.
To the Editor OF the LEDGER:

COLORADO SPRINGS, July 2S.
Mr.. Editor:-I see in several pa
pers an account of the disastrous flood
at Manitou, where houses, rocks and
trees were hurled through the air.
What has been published does not do
justice to the catastrophe. 1 will try
and give you true statement:
Manitou was entirely swept away
and Pixies Peak was leveled even with
the foot hills. Cameron's Cone was
undermined and is lettering; man
with crowbar could push it over;
and old Cheyenne mountain lays over
on its side.
The Garden of the Gods was ruined
the huge monuments of single stand
ing stones being swept into heap
and twisted about one another, and
round boulders carried 43 miles to-
ward Denver. Canons were cut
clean through mountains, and the
force of the water through black can.
on was so great as to drive rocks of
great weight into the hills opposite its
mouth. No approximation of the
terrific force of wind, water and elec-
trio force, is reached by the Wing or
Chicago Tribune specials. A score
of mountain pines, 80 to lS0 feet
high, were carried down near Mani
tou and drived into the ground, stand
ing like a lot of drunken men. The
Imagination of eastern newspaper men
cannot approach the truth. The
Grinnell, Iowa, disaster was mere
child's play besides this.
Very truly, F. X. A.
The above seems written in spir-
it of truth, and is not any sleeper
than some of the grades and some of
the stories of Colorado people.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

IHE republican parry Is inc only
party that champions protection.
OUR sheep men may wake up some
fine morning and find the democratic
dry rot, free trade threatening their
destruction.
How ridiculous it is for a democrat
to attempt to keep up with the demo-
cratic free trade funeral, and at the
same time make ali exception in favor
of some local interest.
THERE is no use to elect demo-
crat with republican principles to repre-
sent this district, may as well so the
whole sheep at once-for its sheep
that's interested.
THE city of Boston is getting to live
more and more out of town, and ele.
waited railroads are growing into pub
lie favor as a means of relief from
crowded travel.
The way in which Chicago is kept
down in the world is by rash assertion.
1t is now reported in St. Louis that
she is building an nebriate asylum for
her drunken women.
OUR wool interest needs the protec-
tive care of the republican party for
awhile, yet at least, and the wool men
of west Texas should chose some re-
publican TO represent them.
OUR wool men may as well be IN tor
an old sheep as lamb in politics. A
democrat has no business in the sheep
business as his party are in for free
trade, and free trade would ruin the
business.
1T is very gratifying to learn that the
National Republican, at Washington,
has found some one to buy it, and that
it now proposes to acquire respect
able status and to be run as the organ
of somebody.
THE senate committee having
squelched Senator Logans impudent
bill to revive the ranking privilege, all
that remains for congressman to do, to
get even with civil service, is to squelch
postage.
THE London Punch has struck oil
in the city of Berlin. The police idiots
of that town have Conhscated it for its
cartoon about the imperial rescript.
Punch ought to be sufficiently pleased
to stump the whole of Prussia. There
are other cities with the same sapient
police authorities to gobble punch.
IT is interesting to watch our demo-
cratic representatives in congress upon
the tariff question. 1t is evident that
the democrats are taking the free trade
principle as a definite policy, and any
democrat who falls out of line will find
himself left in the company Of republi-
cans. Senator Coke has led off with a
free trade speech, and SO far as We can
learn the entire Texas democratic DELI
CATION are sound on the democratic
platform of tariff for revenue only.
Epson and Jones have interests to pro.
tect; Epson has the sheep interest and
Jones the sugar interest. Jones is GU,
of the democratic party. Epson had
better crawl out of it as soon as he car
or this congressional district will send
man to congress in sympathy with
the republican party-the party o.
protection. <-.

If Upson will. quit the bourbons ant
join the republican party he may go t.
congress again, otherwise he will have
to stay at home.
The Louisiana congressman arr
free trade with the exception of tn
sugar interest, which they think should
be protected. That's better than thu
Texas congressman. We have WOO
interest to protect and we have moi
heard of any exception to the demo-
cratic principle of tree trade.
THE following dispatch in the St
Louis Globe-Democrat is news to us
Dallas, Texas, February IA re.
publican state mass-meeting is called
| to meet at Fort Worth, February 22.
The object is to determine upon the
line of policy to be pursued in the ap'
preaching campaign. Among the
speakers from abroad expected are ex-
Secretary of the Navy Thompson, of
Indiana, Governor St. John, of Kan
sas, and J. C. Denny, of Indiana.
THE following item from the Wash
ington special to the Galveston News,
explains how the Galvestonians are
spending their deep water fund:
Tom Ochiltree gave dinner party
at Welcker's last evening to the fol-.
lowing guests: Senators Coke and
Maxey, Representatives Reagan, Page
and SIM leton, Col. George Gorham,
Col. Mansfield, Messrs. Runge, J. G.
Wintersmith, Stilson Hutchins and
Crosby, Col. A. H. Belo and Leon
Blum.
The festive Willis does not appear
to have been invited.
IT is stated that James P. Newcomb,
editor of the EVENING Light, has at
last been appointed postmaster at San
Antonio vice Manning, removed. New
comb "hankered" after federal ap-
pointment for long time and after all
it is but just reward for faithful SER
vices rendered the republican party
Tom Green Times.
The man who "hankers" and does
not get weary deserves to have his
"hanker" satisfied; Newcomb is still
'hankering." The "hanker' deferred.
maketh the heart sick.
We WANT to engage Mrs. Senator
Pendleton, OF Ohio, as a premium
Photographer. How did lady of such
an excellent wit come to marry a
United States senator But it may
be accounted for as having occurred
in early life. 1t is related that when
that ecstatic guy, young Oscar Wilde,
was admitted to her presence, the
youth, in deploring the great lack of
fractions in America, said, "you have
no ruins, no natural curiosities in this
country "Oh, sir" the witty lady
replied, "we can wait for our ruins, and
our curiosities we import"
A FEW weeks ago, an individual,
hailing from the Rio Grande region,
passed through our city on his way to
Washington; he is called "Kurnel Mel
son Plato" Well, the "kurnep'
dashed about our city for day or two
in company with certain federal Off
Gals; he, ''the kurnel." was, according
to his own account, a warm, bosom
friend of President Arthur, and he,
1.-The Kurne," was going to Washing
ton to regulate matters. How much
"the Kurnel' raised here towards pay
ing his expenses to Washington to see
his "bosom friend" we did not learn,
but ''the Kurnel" is in Washington, no
doubt, regulating affairs; Matchmaking
those officials who feel little shaky,
and bleeding the expectant applicants.

WILLIAM I. CRoAsDALE, who has
been editor-in-chief of the Wilmington
EUery Erening since its first issue in
1875, severed his connection with it on
Monday and will, about the first of
March, assume the editorship of a
newspaper to take the place of the Bal
timore Gazette, which has, for some
time, been struggling along in feeble
sort Of way. The new paper will be
Democratic straight through. Mr..
Croasdale has the ability to make it a
lively journalistic success, and we doubt
not, he will do it. He has edited Erery
Evening with marked ability and for
one the TRANSCRIPT sincerely regrets
his withdrawal from the Peninsular
journalistic field. Mr.. E. n. Valandig-
ham, who has been for some time man
aging editor Of Erery EUening, has
taken editorial charge of it and will
doubtless keep it to the high standard
it has attained. In his valedictory Mr..
Croasdaleannounces that BUery Erening
will continue to be an independent
paper, but will probably occupy a less
pronounced position on political mat
ters than while under his control.
