The fill on Twentieth street interrercs
with the running of the street railroad,
which is compelled to stop there and
transfer passengers afoot over the eleva-

obyiated until Poplar street above TWEEN

work the contract has already been let.
Augusta Towel outlines in The Cur
rent of August 2G, General Gordon's Re-
marksble Creed, and her article will be
thoroughly appreciated as clearly setting
forth those singular religious theories held
by the Heroes of the SOudan, than whom
there is no more interesting contemporary
character among the great men Of tie
worli.
Though it has been intentionally

Capt. Jno E. English, of the Halliday
Guards, is making strong effort to get an
appointment to the mail service on one Of |
the railroads centring here. lie has some
strong influences at work in his behalf,
and he will probably be successful. Capt.
English is one of the very few Irshmen in
tins city who have cast their lot with the
Republican party for several years back,
for reasons satisfactory to themselves how
ever unsatisfactory to others. He is q gen.
tleman Of much merit in many ways and
would do much credit to the service should |
he receive the coveted appointment. In
years gone by the Irish Republicans have
been everywhere entirely ignored By the
party in power, and this sudden manifesto
ton of great fondness for the hardy son Of |
Erin, at this particular time smacks very
strongly Of demagoguery. 1t makes Capt.
English's proposed appointment seem like
political sop nsultngly thrown to the
Irish voters of this city as a bride for their
sutfrages; but this does not detract from
Capt. English's merits in the least, it only
calls to mind very forciby the old saying
that ut is better late than never" We |
hope Capt English will succeed, but re.
greet, for his sake, that his incumbcncy must
be very brief, as the appointing power will |
change hands on the 4th day of March, A.
d. 1885, proxmo.
