KANTs YTNDICATToX

Ex-Speaker Keifer, stands before the coun-
try as a convicted, reckless liar, by the Off
cial report of the Keifer-Boynton investi-
eating committee. When the report of the
committee was submitted il the House of
Representatives he ex-Speaker was as dumb
as an oyster, and permitted the branding
report to be adopted without offering word
by way Of defense or paliation. Now that gen
tIemen desires the people of his congressional
district to ''vindicate' him by sending him as
their delegate and representative to the Re-
publican national convention. A leading
Republican paper of Ohio objects to this pro-
ceeding using the following language;
The Republicans of Ohio can not afford to have
anything more to do with the Hon. j. Warren
Keifer. He has killed himself, and must lie on
the bed of thorns which his bad conduct has con-
structed. His record is without redeeming
feature, and his associates at Washington who
once respected him are now ashamed of him.
It's ridiculous for the Republicans to
undertake to read this man out of their party.
He is bone of their bone, and the only trou-
BILE with him is that being true and sue
cessful exponent Of Republican doctrines
and practices, he grew too brazen and reck-
less and was caught in the act.
He is neither better nor worse now than
he has been for many years. lie was chosen
speaker because he was known to be utterly I'M
scrupulous and willing to go to any length to
"serve the party'', and in that high office he
did bring disgrace and scandal upon himself
personally and upon the party that used him
for corrupt and selfish ends. The chad con-
duct of which he has been convicted tran
spired while he was 'ESpeaker'', and but for
the exposure, the result Of low quarrel with
one of his party associates, with he whom he
had been connected in ''ways that are dark'
he could be still, as he was in the beginning
of the 18th congress, at the head Of the party.
Only last December he was the unanimous
choice of the Republicans in Congress for
'Speaker,' and the men who voted for him
knew as much about him and all about him,
then, as they do now. Nothing can be
more fitting than that he should should be-
come delegate to the Republican Conven-
ton, and by all means that should be brought
about. He is just the man for the place, and
ready to do any dirty work required upon the
shortest possible notice. John Sherman
should make sure that hisfriend is not ostra-
cised simply because he got caught in one of
his escapades of chad conduct" and a mi
nor one at that.

Pat ROO11P1E

The sale of seats for the engagement of
the Pat Rooney company opens at the Grand
at 9 O'Clock this morning.
Pat Rooney is very funny because he is
original and spontaneous in his fun; but last
evening he was at his BEST perhaps because
it was his first appearance at Whites theater.
Not only that, but he was accompanied by the
best company of speciality performers which
has yet been seen in this city under his man
agement and the very large audience present
laughed continually and encored each act to
the echo. The programme began with that
rarity in vaudeville-a new comedy sketch
which was presented by Maurice Haley, Josie
Granger, John Callan and James Callan,
Dolly Davenport followed with series of
serio-comic songs, after which Topack and
Steel played battledore and shuttle-cock with
each other in a wonderful song and dance of
the break-neck order. Sharpley and West
gave good musical act. A marvellous
exhibition of elasticity and suppleness was
next given by Rowe and Athol who appar-
emily have no bones. The electric three
Callan, HALEY and Callan give a capital
medley of songs and dances, their voices
harmonizing beautifully, their dancing be-
ing artistic, while their jokes and comedy
business were fresh and entertaining. Pat
Rooney sang, walked, shrugged his should
ers, crooked his arms, held his knee joints
rigidly, danced, and-well, there's only one
Pat Rooney, and that's all there is of it. A
remarkably agile and Picturesque juggler
who calls himself "Valjean," gave good
act, and Kate Rooney in a serio-comic song,
and imitation of her father, and duet with
the old gentleman, also made hit. An
old-time farce modernized and called ''The
Inn Keeper and the Monkey" sent the au-
dience home in the best of humor.-The Free
Press. Dec, Is, 1888

Chattanooga.

CHATTANOOGA, April 18.-In the James
trial, at Huntsville, the counsel for prisoner
objected to James a. Liddel as a witness, on
account of being a confessed horse stealer In
Missouri in 1874. The objection was ousr-
ruled, on the ground that Liddell had been
pardoned. Liddell testified that Frank and
Jesse James and Bill Ryan left him, LiddeH,

patch was received here to-day: cat noon

A later dispatch says J. Macdonald is OPP
orator at Battleford, and knew of nothing
else but Indians to cause his absence. If the
indians became hostile, we should think the
first act would be to burn the telegraph Office
and destroy the wire. The nearest telegraph
office to Battleford is about 100 miles distant.

oratory ceaE

The United States senate yesterday took a
little breath out of the statue craze by the
indefinite postponement of the proposition
for a bronze equestrian statue to Simon
Bolivar, The sentiment underlying this
proposition was to commemorate Bolivar as
q ''liberator," and to recognize his services
in securing the independence of there of the
South American republics. His career, how
ever, was equiyocal, and he aimed at the
erection of all of South America into one
Republic, with himself as dictator. History
charges him with being an unskillful Gen
eral, and attributes to him cowardice. How
ever opinions may differ on these points
there was no occasion for the proposed
statue, which would have been waste of
sentiment and a little brass.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Representative
White, of Kentucky, can make himself more
disagreeable with less effort than any mem
Der of the house, and this was demonstrated
to-day IN debate on Mr.. McMillan's bill to
place limitation of two years on prosecu-
tions for offenses against the internal reve-
nue. laws. While it is permissible in general
debate to speak on subjects other than those
presented, and this practice is commonly
INDUCED in, Mr.. White grossly exceeded the
rule in interpoating severe reflections upon
Justice Harlan, of the supreme court, and
Speaker Carlisle for having testified before the
Springer committee as to the good character
Of Gov. Murray, of Utah. Although called
to order, he followed up his diatribe by Of
fensively charging Speaker Carlisle with con-
spiracy to pass bills through congress in the
interest of Kentucky whisky monopolies. To
the credit of Speaker Carlisle, he asked that
no notice be taken Of the parliamentary
language, and received applause from both
sides of the house as testimony of personal
respect for him and in reprOof of Whites
unseemly behavior. This unpleasant cpl
sode materially delayed business. Had MIR.

he should, the occurrence would not have
taken place. as no opposition to the bill was
