Profanity.

Profanity is not only violation Of the
decalogue, but is vulgar and ungentlemanly
But there is some doubt as to what exact
language constitutes this crime A Methodist
preacher lately was asked by one of his con-
gregation, who was what is denominated "a
pillar of tho church" what he thought Of
certain book recently published The minis
ter replied that ait was not worth a tinker's
dam" The pillar of the church, shocked by
the seeming profanity of his preacher, pre-
ferred charges against him. On the trial the
minister stated that "tinkers dam was a
dam made by itinerant members of tinware
on pewter plato to contain the solder with
which they Joined and held together the
broken parts of wares to be mended, and that
the dam was made of material whichi
variably gives way before the job is ended.
The minister was acquitted. Hence we have
high authority for announcing that to say q
thing "is not worth tnker's dam " is no
profanity,

The Union League club deserves much
credit for unearthing the colossal election
frauds in the second precinct of the ninth
ward The investigation shows that out of
1,ll2 votes cast, or said to have been cast, 997
were raudulent--brazenly defantly, and
shamelessly fraudulent. The facts given by
the committee are almost incredible but are
supported by proof which cannot be gainsayed
or denied. 1t is quite evident that a system
Of frauds like these in certain number of
precincts in the city would give the election
to the men who engineered them, and rob
honest voters Of all votes in the government.
These fraudulent votes were cast for Mayor
Harrison. We will not do him the injustice
to say that he was privy to them; it is not
likely that he knew anything Of the thieving
scoundrels who perpetrated the frauds, but it
is a reproach and a lasting disgrace to be the
recipient of such votes to be successful by
having the ballot box polluted and debauched,

these matters further, and 70 prosecute the
graceless thieves who committed or permitted

Slippery Stephens.

Marshal Still, of Holden, arrived in
the city last night in charge of Elgin Ste
phens, a young man whom he arrested
Thursday night, for robbing a guest at
the Bell house i'm Holden.
Stephens who is pretty we'll known
in this city, and who has
on several occasions heretofore played a
prominent part in questionable trans
actions, entered the room of William
Coventry, at the Bell house in Holden,
Thursday night, and succeeded in stealing
from him $3.50 in money and gold watch.
The officers soon got on to the alleged thief
and run him in.
Most of the money (sl47) was found on
the person of the prisoner, and the watch,
which he had concealed, was also recoy-
cred.
The prisoner had preliminary exami-
nation at Holden yesterday and, in default
of bond in the sum of 1000, was brought
to this city by Marshal Stiles and delivered
into the custody of Sheriff Conner fer safe
keeping until the next term of the JOLr.
son county criminal court.

AMOROUS ARNET.
He Was Run In for Insult ng a
Respectable Lady on the
Street.

Shortly after 8 O'Clock Yesterday after
noon those who CHANGED to be on the street
had their attention attracted by the sound
ing OF the police bell and in few minutes
a curious crowd had collected about the
station house. The curiosity of the multi
tude was soon partially satisfied by the APP
pearance of John Hartsock, who in the alb.
sence of policeman had constituted him
self an officer, and was msrchIng to Jail a
man whom he claimed had insulted his
wife.
To BAzoO reporter Hartsock stated
that his wife had been accosted by an I'M
known man on East Seventh street, who
made an insulting proposal to her and
offered her money. The lady, very much
frightened, fastened home and reported the
circumstances to her husband, who was
naturally very angry. Together husband
and wife started out in search of the bold
libertine, who was soon discovered on
North Lalnine street. The indignant hus-
band started in pursuit of the miscreant
and after hurting a few stones at him
brought him to halt.
After being locked mp the young man,
who had made such bad break, was inter-
viewed by BAZOo reporter and disclaim-
ed any intention of insulting a respectable
lady. He did not deny that he had accost-
ed a woman on the street, but stated in ex-
tenuation of his conduct, that the lady was
one with whom he was acquainted in S..
Joseph. The prisoner who claims To be
hotel employee exhibited to the reporter a
letter of recommendation, signed by the
clerk of the Bacon house, at ST. Joseph,
where he had previously been employed

dies and even men laying claims to decency
are too apt TO congrega,e on the street cor
ners and make insulting remarks about
ladies passing. Men who have lost all
claims to deceDcy, by being guilty of snch
conduct, cannot be too strongly condemned
and any punishment which will cause
them to observe even an outward respect
for decency and morality cannot be TOO
severe.

On motion of Mr.. Houston, the defend.

of the defendant, a material witness, was

not to be obtained. Cohn claims that he
purchased the hides which it In alleged he
stole, and that the fact can be proved by
his brother who marked them.
