WHEN a Chinese house-servant at Forest Hill,
Cal, was detected in the act of stealing money
from his employer, the neiGhbors procured ropes
and were with difficulty restrained from hang
ing the thief. Civilization in California is in a very
primitive state. Out here, now, the hodsekeeper
would be so glad to get her property back that
she would say nothing about the offense, but
send the servant on to her best friend with a re-
commentator for honesty.

REV. Mr.. LAWRENCE, a Baptist clergyman, in
a lecture at Chicago on Tuesday night, said,
speaking of Christine Nilsson: 81 did not go to
hear this sweet songstress, for the reason that L
feared that I might hear through the solfeggios
of her exquisite notes the rattle of the dice in
the unholy game of poker" 1t is to be feared
that Mr.. Lawrence has unnecessarily deprived
himself of a pleasure. The editor of the Journal
is informed by a person who has a friend who
once saw it played, that poker is not a noisy
game, and that the minister might safely have
unfurled his ears to their greatest length with
out being disturbed by the rattle Of dice" A

Taken from Life.
Journed.

The second performance of s'Taken
From Life" by the ]. Rial combination, at
the Opera house last night, was much more
satisfactory and enjoyable than on the
opening occasion, as there was an absence
of those crudities, ,which,if not inseperable,
are yet pardonable on the first presenta-
tion of the season. The improvement was
notable in several instances, but more par
ticularly in the third act, where the
Clerkenmeu prison is blown up. On
the first evening this really startling
episode was bungled in a manner to ap-
pear ludicrous, quality of emotion Just
the opposite of that sought to be con-
veyed. Last evening the explosion and
the escape of the prisoners was quite
realistic, and QUE can easily
imagine how, with larger stage and
better settings, this scene could be made
thrilling in the extreme. The members of
the cast were all better up in their lines
last night, while the presentation was
smoother and more entertaining through
out.
For Friday evening change of pro-
gramme has been decided upon, the play
for this night being east Lynne" a
drama which the present company possess
the ability to give with power and inter
est.
The same play will be given at Satur-

"PUT MONEY IN THY PURSE"

A correspondent of the Dispatch VEN
tilates what is a open secret, that Mr.. Drls-
call pooled his issues with some other par
ties and purchased lot on the corner of
Sixth and Robert, and then, as chairman
of the committee on Chamber of Com
merce site, got the committee to recon-
mend the purchase of the aforesaid lot,a a
handsome advance, for the new Chamber
of Commerce building. It may aid the
indignant correspondent in his investi-
cations to know that it was agreed be-
tween Mr.. Ryan and the Chamber of
Commerce site committee, that they should
have early notice of the hotel location in
order to enable the chamber to secure a
lot before the boom had begun. Instead
of the chamber profting by this early in
formation, Mr.. Driscoll, of the committee,
was enabled to form his pool and buy the
site, which was then turned over to the
chamber at ''boom figures" Here is dis
interested patriotism and fidelity in public
affairs.
The SUNDAY GLOBE, in quiet way, called
attention to similar matter in the same
quarter in connection with the hotel site.
Mr.. Wheelock was a member of the citi-
zens' hotel bonus committee and excessive
ly active in urging people to subscribe.
When Mr.. Ryan was looking for a site.
and found an excellent one, the
only piece of property held at
extortionate rates was the 100 feet on the
corner of Sixth and Robert streets. Mr.
Wheelock turned up as a one-fourth own
er. Mr.. K1ttson, owning $50 feet on the
corner of Seventh and Robert streets sold
it to Mr.. Ryan at $400 per foot or $60,O00
though he had previoufly refused $65,000
The Wheelock pool mulcted Mr.. Ryan
$52,5O0 for one hundred feet on Sixth
street or $525 per front foot, while the
much more valuable Seventh streeth prop
erty was obtained at $400. 1t should be
borne in mind that both tr acts front re-
spectively on Seventh and Sixth streets
and each have depth (but not a frontage
of $50 feet on Robert street. The
extortion of Wheelock we'll nigh
drove Mr.. Ryan to select another site
Mr.. Driscoll is to be congratulated upol
having kept pace with his rapacious part
ner, and by means of his position on th
chamber of commerce committee he has
been able to make handsome specula
ton at the public expense.

This is testimony of the secretary of the
Republican National committee. Nobody
has impeached it. Nobody will or can
impeace it.
General Thomas j. Brady, who at the
time the Republican party was buying the
presidency was second assistant postmas-
ter general, appointed by Graut,protected
by Hayes, screened by Garfield and ac-
quilted under Arthur" General Brady
testified that he raised $4,000 from the
star route contractors, for the cam
paign in Indiana, so that there
might be a free ballot and a pure
election, and everybody vote in accordance
with his own convictions. Gen. Brady
tells what he did:
dorsey went to General Arthur and he was
willing to give written authority for the collec-
ton of the money, but the authority should
come from Garfield. This was communicated
TO Garfield, who thereupon wrote the J. Hubbel
letter. l didn't think I needed any better
authority, and raised the money at once. As
a matter of personal pride [ spent SIS, 900 out OF

Who can hereafter have doubt that The
Republican party stands to-day the
champion and protector of a free
ballot and pure elections. There i;
no "sirocco'' about them. They wouldn't
give it house room. But the address Of
the National Union League continues:
''The history of the Republican party is al
brilliantly studded with the gem of righteous
government; it has punished misconduct IL
its own ranks; it has demanded faithfulnes
to the country"
Good again! But what misconduct has
ever been punished. Who of the long and
dazzling line of rascals ''in its own ranks
has ever been punished. There is one
just one., The Republican party hung
Guiteau.
The Belknaps, the Williamses, the
Robesons, the Bradys, the Ottmans, the
Howgates, the Colfaxes, ct id omme
genus, all of these dazzling, guilty
creatures, all have escaped.
With such a history, brilliantly stcddet
with gems of righteousness
the Republican party should O.
course, be retained in power. If not, tha
terrible "slrocco" will destroy the people

THE VERY ELECT.

''The Republican party stands to-day the
champion and protector of free ballot and
pure elections and demands the security by law
of the right of every man to vote in accordance
with his own convictions"
The above ringing sentence is repro
duced from the address just issued by the
National Union League, appealing to the
country to arouse and save itself from ''the
blighting sirocco of Democratic rapacity."
Well, the country ought to be saved from
so terrible a calamity as that which has
moved the National Union League to offer
its vehement appeal. ''This beautiful
country with all these splendid institu-
tions," shrieks the League, must be saved
from ''the blighting sirocco of Democratic
rapacity." According to this authority
the Saving process must needs come
from, and by, and through the Republican
party. There must be saved ''free bal.
lot" There must be saved "pure electlons.'
There must be saved 'the right
of every man to vote in &C
cordance with his own convictions.
All these precious things is what this
horrible "sirocco" is about to blight.
There are some people, and pretty goot
folks too, as the world goes,iwho entertain
grave doubts as to the propriety of con
confding in the Republican party as ;
means of saving grace.

An Important Business Arrangement.
Mr.. John Smith, of the firm of Smith

from protracted visit to the east and
Canada, combining business and pleasure.
During his stay in Montreal Mr.. Smith
effected an arrangement with the large i'm
porting house of John Hope & Son, the
largest importers of choice wines, ales and
waters on the continent, by which Smith
Brothers will be enabled to bring goods
direct to this city from Europe, in bond in
the original packages, thus ensuring per-
feet purity, Mr.. Smith also purchased a
large invoice of the choicest foreign goods
to be had in the Montreal market. includ-
ing many brands of wine not heretofore
obtainable in this city, and in the course
of few days will be able to offer the pub
lie an assortment never before equalled in
the northwest. This house, which is already
| the heaviest importing wine and liquor
firm in the state, propose to procure the
bulk OF their stock in foreign markets in
the future, and to place none but the
choicest brands on sale, and thus make the
st. Louis the headquarters for all connois-
seurs in the city. Their reputation has
always been first class, but they are not
yet satisfied with the high standing they
enjoy and seek to raise it, and will labor
to please the best class of trade in every
particular, great and small. The Messrs
Smith are certainly deserving of great
credit for the enterprise they have dis.
played IN the past, and their latest con.
nection gives a guarantee that the achieve
ments of the past will be outdone by those
