Tho Way They no IL in NIalne.

Squire Borge, or Bangor, Is wealthy, and
wishes his friends to understand that he is a
wonderful sportsman. Last winter he started
up the country on fishing trip, where he met
with poor success. The first thing he did on
returning to the city was to go to the market
and buy fifteen trout. They were beauties, and
he told the salesman what no wac going 70 do,
and asked him where he should say they were
caught.
"oh, tell Them they were taken feom Linus
Pond"
on his way home the Squire called and had
the largest one photographed. Underneath
the picture he wrote
"one OF the fifteen taken from Linus Pond,
January 8, 1884, by Timothy BOrge, es1."
In two days he came back to tho marketmau
ana said
"Lookee hero, whore is Linus Pond, any-
how? They asked me where 10 was and It)ld
them II was up In tho northern part OF Han
cock County. Then they got map and wanted
me 10 show It TO them, and for the life OF mo
couldn't md II. Just tell me whore It Is aud
III go homo and fix them. Confound their
hearts, I'll tell 'em where Linus Pond ls, and

Then the marketman led him gently outside
the shop and pointed TO his sign. It Tead

A scandaious Alliance.

N. Y. Tribune.
Governor Cleveland owes his nomination for
The Presidency to Hubert o. Thompson. But
II is becoming more and more evident that
Thompson's favor was purchased at heavy
cost TO tho Governors oflcial honor and In
tegrity. The veto OF the Tenure OF Onlco bill,
10 prolong Thompson's official term and pa.
tronage, was most shameful act on tho part
OF the Governor-an act that stands without
defense. But that was only small part OF the
price paid Thompson for his support.
Another chapter IN the story OF this dis.
graceful alliance will be found on page 525 OF
the volume Just iesued, containing the laws OF
1884. 1t is nn act introduced In the Legisla-
ture by one OF Thompson's followers, " Mike" I"
Murphy, and approved by Governor Cleveland,
to compel the City OF New York to reimburse
Hubert o. Thompson for all the "costs, coun-
sci fees and expenses paid or incurred " by
him I'm any proceeding to remove him from
Justification OF his ofiiclai conduct before any
body or tribunal lawfully investigating the
same and not officially recommending his re-
Thompson by name, but It was drawn by one
OF his counsel to meet his particular case, and
was pushed through the Senate by "Tim I"
the Assembly by poyor emu the msn
who carried Cleveland's portrait upon the
platform at Chicago. Governor Cleveland
knew well the nature and far. reaching pur-
pose OF the bill. His attention was called to
the fact before no signed the bill. But with
one hand he vetoed the most important re-
form measure Of the session to save this ON
cial-condemned by the grand Jury, the Leg
islature, tho press and the people-and with
the other hand he signed q bill rushed
through in the closing hours of the session to
reimburse Thompson for the large expense
that he incurred ln defeating the very reforms
which the Tenure OF Onico bill would have car
ried out: Was there ever more shameful be-
trayal OF trust2
How much this act OF Grover Cleveland's g Will
cost tho city probably will not be known until
after election. The Tweed Civil Justice bill
legallzed q steal OF about 100000. The Jaui-
tors bill took another big figure for a similar
purpose. This Thompson bill undoubtedly
Will cost the taxpayers large sum. When
the Council OF Reform presented charges 70
the Mayor against him, he employed counsel
TO draw up defense. That expense VIII have
10 be met under the bill; also the expense OF
tho long and specious roply ho made TO the
Irtbune'S exposure; also the expense OF en-.
ploying several lawyers before the Grady com.
mittec OF 1882 and OF defeating that invostiga.
tion; also the expense OF counsel to impede
the work Of the last Senate committee. The
Legislative committees had no power to rec
ommend Thompson's removal; heuce, no mat.
ter how sweeping their condemnation OF him,
the city under this act Will have to pay the ex-
pense Of his defense.
Such ia the character OF the bill which
Grover Cleveland signed In behalf OF Thomp-
con, after vetoing the Tenure OF onlce bill.
And yet thero are people who claim not to be
Democrats who hold up Grover Cleveland as a
reformer.

MIS-. Stoves Loyalty 10 Human
Rights.



Among all tho anti.slavery people OF thirty
years ago, Mr.. Beecher and his sister, Mrs.
Stowe, were by far the most famous aud most
Influential OF those who are still living. Gar.
rison, Glddings, Phillips, sumner, Greeley,
Seward, Chase and almost alt the others OF the
first rank are gone, save only tho poet Whit.
tier, MIR. Beecher and Mrs. Stowe. In 1866 Mr..
Beecher, In his speech In Cleveland, Ohio, for
q day abandoned his loyalty to the cause OF the
downtroddeD negro; but he was speedily and
effectually recalled TO that loyalty by an en-
phatic expression or dissent from Plymouth
Church. In the present year, also, Mr.. Beecher
has eufIered another Cleveland TO beguilo him;
and for some reason has parted company with
that Republican party which he 30 nightly
contributed to create. But Mrs. Stowe still
stands flrm for freedom, and for the party or
freedom. For many years ehe has lived dur
Ing the winter and spring in tho South, and
has personally met only kindness from tho
Southern people. But che knows that In many
southern States the colored people, while free
TO labor, are not free to vote. rhe lash which
formerly drove them TO toll now drives them
cality. Nothing stirs the Indignation OF Mrs.
Stowe ike this; and II her pen were not weary
with age and long using IL would surely DO
welded again as OF old iu behalf OF human
rights. But her name Is linked with the most
powerful American tradition; the tradition OF
our heroic age. That age was the period in
which the Northern conscience awoke, aud
smote with It's mailed hand the system OF sla
very. No other Influence was 80 potent as the
pen OF Mrs. Stowe in breaking the National
slumber, and no other voice Is 80 Justly on.
Titled TO be heard, now that the Nation seems
willing to slumber again.

THE New York Sun hits the nail squarely
on the head when it says: "That isn't the
rule for this campaign by any means. The
regular order of the Democracy has
been reversed, and now tho new
recruits and the awkward squad lead
the front rank, and the army is OK
pected to follow them. 1t is queer sort Of
leadership, and It promises to be a queer
sort of fight Right you are, Charles A..
1t reminds us Of q couple of reckless and
profane young fellows who attended ball
on the Waybosh many years ago. At an
early stage OF the festivities they got their
hides chock full Of raw corn whisky, and
then, arm in arm, they rushed around
through the crowd, crying, Here we come,
blank our fool souls, somebody head us
off," That Is about the kind ofa dance the
new recruits and awkward squad are lead
ing the veteran Democrats in this cam
paign. Well, somebodyll head 'em of be-
fore many moons wax and wano.

ance with petitions from the soldiers OF this

moral and political achievements during It's
history, and which is now, so far as II goes, on
the right side OF most OF the great questions
OF the day. But there Is evidently no possi-
bio hope OF success for either our first or sec
ond choice, and, rather than fail In the noxt

Is not new experience. In the church, com.

not get on with tho work in hand, Without
sometimes Joining with those whose princ-
ples we do not wholly indorse; and to avoid
what we esteem misfortune we are glad at
times TO but hold our own. The liquor inter-
ests arc largely centred In the Democratic
party, which openly expresses Its opposition
TO prohibitions the Republican party, though
silent In It's platform, Is, IN several States,
committed to this cause and has within its
ranks the great body OF temperance men, who

Thy with their principles. We believe II was

pressed this reform a little further IN the

W. I. HOLDEN publishes in the Glove
land (o) Herald a card in which he gives
his reasons for refusing to support Grover
Cleveland for the Presidency. Among other
things he says:
am an American citizen who believes that
the home OF every person should be held and
kept as tho most sacred spot on earth, and
that the virtue Of wives and daughters should
be guarded and supported against such vii.
lains as Grover Cleveland has shown himself
TO be.
That is pretty strong to como from man
who has always voted the Democratic
ticket. But Mr.. Holden does not stand
alone. Thousands of men who have never
voted anything but the Democratic ticket
will also refuse to vote for debauchee for

Then there is another leading Independ

such record as Grover Cleveland has. The
