carefully erecting hay stack six miles

THE whirligig of time, writes cow
boy. from the Indian territory, has
wrought wonderful damage in the oc>
cupation of the fraternity. He says:
when l was a novice there was six
months in the year we did nothing but
toast venison over roaring fire in the
snug and roomy dug out. A feast on
roasted turkey, and other equally as pail
atable game, was an every day occur
renee. Should dispute arise as to whose
duty it was Ito prepare dinner, the meal
was deferred by general consent, until
hunger drove some ones ambition up to
the standpoint of undertaking the job.
The overwhelming, laborious duty of a
half days work in securing fuel enough
to lastfor month, fell upon him who
had secured the lesser number of notches
faithfully cut in black jack pole for

THE PARTY OF FORGERY AND FRAUD.
New York World.


The mutilation of Senator Edmunds'
letter relative to Blaines position on the
Pacific railroad bill was one of the boldest
torgeries andsfrauds of the Blaine CAM
paign. But Blaine4was not directly re-
sponsible for it. 1t was the work of an
intermeddling, superserviceable friend
just as disgraceful and dishonest is the
the mutilation Of the letter written by the
late Judge Folger to Mr. Blaine, when the
latter, after his nomination, wrote to
Judge Folger to beg him for support. The
following paragraph was suppressed in
the letter as given to the public, with the
intention of creating the belief that Judge
Folger retained no bitter memory of the
part Blaine had taken in his defeat in this
state in 1882:
Il propose to be frank with you. Friends
in New York write me that they desire to
revenge themselves on you. They express
the opinion that neither you nor your
followers desired or worked fer the sue
cess of the state ticket in New York in
1882 AS evidence of assertion they re-
fer me to your letter to Harrington of
October, 1882. They assert that if Grover
Cleveland was good enough for governor
over Folger in 1882 Grover Cleveland is
good enough for president over Blaine in
1884"
The omission and suppression of this
portion of Judge Folger's letter was in
tended TO conceal the fact that although
Blame denied any participation in Fol
gers defeat. the judge did not believe him,
and intended that he should so under
stand. This mutilation of Folger's letter
was the work of Blaine himself, although
he operated though his convenient tool

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 24-At q meeting
of the grand lodge of Masons in session here
Grand High Priest Farleigh said in reference
to the new papal attack on Masonry:
Who can forbear t. express his indignation
at the utterances of man placed in such
position as Leo, who can deliberately put his
official signature to such statements as the
following: "lf any one watches the proceed
ings of the Masons, in respect to religion
especially, it will appear that it is theil
real aim to prosecute Christianity.
Freemasonry is a wicked farce,
contagious disease" Furthermore, this
papal bull charges US with seeking the
education of tie youth that they may be
corrupted from the pure faith We have
nothing to do with the pure faith, further
than implicit faith in the Great | Am.
Column after column of this sort of stuff
embodies all the venom and hatred with
which the ruler Of the Catholic church re-
CARDS the progress of the age and the fast
decreasing power of his hierarchy This
hierarchy is fast diminishing. 1t is unre-
publican, and will before many moons be
beyond sight. If it is permitted me to make
any reply to such statements ! simply say
they are false-in the main-false in every
particular. rsss
