-FO End an Excuse.
Detroit Free Press.


When the lamented Tom Davey was
manager of the Detroit Opera house, il
was said by his friends that he would some
times hunt for an excuse to bestow pass
upon some one who had asked for it and
could not show cause why it should be
given. Upon one occasion a stranger
hung around the box Office for an hour OF
two and then asked for pass to see the
play that night.
"Are you a newspaper mani" asked
Tom.
ssNo."
Correspondent of any musical publica
tion?''
''Ne."
"Write paragraphs for weekly dra-
matte paper?'
'ENo."
SIN the professions"
''No."
"Own hall or Opera house?"
''No."
Railroad conductor, scene painter, cos
tuner, bill poster, or advance agent?"
No." sighed the man.
Perhaps you are Clergyman" sug-
gested Tom.
''No.'
There was long and embarrassing ST.
lence. The man had no cheek and no ex-
cuse, and yet Tom felt like doing him the
favor, and finally handed out a pass with
the remark:
''You'n perhaps run for the legislature
some day, and you might as we'll take it
now"

Antt-Irish Feeling in Lirerpool.

A feeling against employing Irishmen
is manifesting itself in Liverpool, and
some excitement has been caused by the
fact that one employer has already dis
charged all the Irishmen in his service.
Writing to the Liverpool Courier, this
gentleman who signs himself "Ishmale,' -
says: 81 have this morning discharged all
the Irish l employ,and to-day 1 shall pay
and close every account have open with
men of that nationality, never to be re-
opened. l will no longer disgrace myself
while there are hundreds of starving
Englishmen around me, by finding money
most likely intended partly to foster the
assassin and his spawn; and l advise every
employer of labor from Lands end to John
o. Greats to at once follow my example.
The day of mawkish sentimentality has
passed and we must treat assassination,
rapine and murder as stern facts and
no longer cry aloud the wretched cry of
peace when the villainous assassin is at our
doors. Another correspondent of the same
paper, writing under the signature of
"Briton," asks: ''How many affiliated as
sassins and destroyers of property are at
present earning livelihood in this coun-
try, having the privileges and freedom of
EnglIshmen, yet who are at the same time
plotting for the destruction of English life
and property? think, aud so do thou
sands of my countrymen, that it will
quickly become question, forced upon us
by dire necessity, whether it is for the in
trest of English capitalists and employers
to retain the services of Irishmen unless
they have most ample and satisfactory
evidence that they are not in the most re-
mote sense sympathizers with or abettors
of the Irish land league" A third CORE
spondent, "a reluctant convert to the anti
Irish feeling" suggests that ''if Ishmaep
will start fund to advertife widely urging
Englishmen TO refuse to work where Irish
are acknowledgements excepted-he
will be supported with contributions"
Other letters written in similar strain are
published; but they have also drawn forth
protests against exciting ill-feeling against

Didn't Think of His Family When he
Sole.

MILWAUKEE, April 24.-Henry Wright,
assistant postmaster at Racine, Wis, was
brought to this city tonight by postofice
inspectors Stewart and King, of Chicago,
owing to shortage of over $4,000 in his
accounts. In confession of which J. E.
Stewart, inspector, and Norton J. Field
are witnesses, Wright says he began taking
the money when the former postmaster,
also named Wright, surrendered the Office
to Fowler, present incumbent. Money
and stamps were taken, a little at time.
None was used for gambling, but all sunk
in household expenses. In closing his
letter of confession Wright says: "Beg-
ging and hoping you will remember that 1
have an old father, now nearly 80 years of
age, and good wife and darling baby,
whom 1 should have thought of when
taking the money, 1 remain, etc."
Wright is of very fine family, is about
80 years of age and stood high in the es.
timation of Racine people.
The prisoners friends say they believe
he is insane. An aunt recently died in an
insane asylum, and his sister is now being
treated at the state asylum at Oshkosh.

THE woman's suffrage state convention
for New York was III session at Troy last
week, and the chief feature of its deliber-
alton was the adoption of the following
frightful whereas, etc:
WHERE as, A masculine priesthood has taught
that woman was created inferior; therefore
ReSolved, That to these teachings many oil
the wrongs and debasements which have fallen
upon our sex are due; and by debasing woman
self-respect has led to self-distrust, and it is
woman's duty to interpret the Scriptures for
herself, no longer trusting to masculine views
alone.
Remarks were made characterizing the
denial of the ballot to woman as an out
rageous tyranny, charging that mans
methods are all inadequate to secure good
government, and that only through
woman's tenderness, conscientiousness and
cooperation can social order be secured
and maintained. Thus forever is it heard
that woman-suffrage is SO near and yet so
far. How can the men continue SO cruel

SOMETIME ago the Republican party took
a contract to stampout polygamy, the sur
viving twin relic of barbarism. The Ed
munds bill was passed and proclaimed the
great annihilator of the doomed institution.
A solemn commission was appointed, who
proceeded to disfranchtse the Mormon par
ty, yet the disfranehised polygamist car
ried tie late election by six to one. Not q
single Indictment has been found under

polygamous marriages go UNPUBLISHED and
the Mormon proselytes are more nu-
merous than ever. What promises that
the Republican party has made to the
country have been kept? All that has
been gained is the supply Of bunkum to
the stump orators.

THE CITY CONTENTION.

The Democratic city convention which
meets this morning occupies no doubtful
position relative to its nominees. There
has been no doubt from the outset, relative
to the present City Attorney and City
Comptroller being renominated. The pos
tive declination of Mayor Rice to serve
a second term left the field open, and it
has been happily filled by the selection of
Hon. G. D. OBrien. Whatever other diff
ferences there were at the primary meet
ings there was entire unanimity upon the
city ticket.
The respective ward tickets are excellent
and demonstrate that the Democrats pro-
pose to put only good and faithful men on
guard.

We hardly yet hear the last Of the funeral
pageant Of Chambord. With the low esti-
mate with which the world may hold its mon
archs, We have no quarrel; with whatever
unregard they may pass away it is the cold
world OF disdain, with which we find no fault;
but we regard the Count de Chambord, the
heroic chief of the house OF Orleans, as every
inch king. He has lain upon his bed Of
agony week in and week out, for many
months, hopeless of life yet not appalled, by
death, bearing with the heroism of martyr
the consciousness of great authority, and
covetous of life that it might yet be borni we
can imagine no watch or word that combines
more chivalric incentives, or higher spirit oil
courage and nobility, than that which tenn
pered the martial spirit of Henry V. in his
grand march TO the grave. What he would
have been had that destiny awaited him
which he thought his right, the world will
never know but any calm observer Of his
dying hours may safely give it assurance thai
he would have been a man.

The War in AMMAN.

The French have INDUCED in no vaunts,
but shown themselves sensible Of the perfect
insgnifcance Of the affair at the mouth Of Hue
river. That it will take a great many such
skirmishes to make Chinese war is one of
those sinewy strokes of hard sense that France
realizes. The prospects Of peace are decided
ly improved by the event. What the world
is to gain, what Europe is to gain, what the
belligerents are to gain by a Franco-Chinese
war, what consequence is to follow excepting
in what France has to lose is unapparent at
this time, Of which the French Republic takes
cognisance. A French gunboat here and a
regiment Of infantry and battery Of artillery
there will answer the possible demands Of
the hour, but this is not war. The blockade
of Touraine, Hue and the delta OF the Red
river is not war. We think the indications
are that France will get out Of it with as much
ofAunam as will stick, and we hope so.
