An Unsatisfactory Interview.

A benevolent old lady met scrubby-
looking little colored girl on Sixth
avenue the other day, and stopped to
say kind word to her.
whats your name, little girl ?"
asked the old lady.
"Dat amt none o. yo' bithness," re-
piled the brunette.
"Oh, that isn't at all polite" said the
old lady, looking reprovingly over her
spectacles. Perhaps | will give you
something if you tell me. What is it
now? Is it Jane or Maria?'
"No, It amt It's jeth plain Lille

"Oh, I'll see," said the old lady, evas-
lively. Have you any sisters, Lille ?"
"Yeth'm. Got two; bofe bigger'n

pursued the old lady.

"Dear me-" calculated the old lady,
in a shocked tone. when you go to

Some Quotations Made by the New York
IndependeDt.

A Forty-fiye Years's Democrat says,
in the New York Sun:
The desperate situation warrants a
desperate remedy. If Cleveland will
not voluntarily withdraw, he should be
forcibly set aside"
To which the Independent responds,
Amen.
''But should we not forgive Mr..
Cleveland?'' is question often asked.
The Evangelist thus plainly and clearly
answers that question::
forgiveness implies amendment of
life; and this is precisely the thing on
which, in the present case, we are
wholly in the dark. All the defenses
leave this still obscure. They are so
vague and general that they cannot be
taken as cUidence. They only show
what the writers think, while it is evi.
dent that they kOnto nothing. Indeed,
some of the apologies contain fatal adj
Missions
In letter to a friend, which already
has been widely published, President
Seelye, of Amherst College, thus speaks
of Grover Cleveland. His opinion, now
reproduced, should have weight, and
be read again and again by every con.
scientious voter in the country:
IF the charges to which you refer
are true, do not see how one with any
self-respect can vote for the man against
whom they are made. nor how party
with any pretensions to decency can
keep such man in nomination. To
affirm that the offenses are not venial
because they have not been Haunted in
the face of the public, or to argue that,
since they affect only the candidate
private life, they are no bar to his cleo
ton to high public office, indicates,
should say, u shocking debauchery al
the moral sentiment"
In letter to the editor of the indie
pendent from professor in one of the
lesding theological seminaries in the
country, the writer says:
Il don't see why in the world the
Democratic party do not compel Cleve.
land to withdraw, and then make an
other nomination. This is the cnly
course that can possibly save the party
from a terrible defeat

Our Sentiments.

The ordinary rule by which voters
are governed in casting their ballots is
to vote for the ticket nominated by the
convention of the party to which they
belong, and in whose principles they be-
lieve. If they were to act otherwise.
the whole object of making a nominal
ton would be defeated. Party conyen-
tons are simply the means of concen-
trating votes upon party candidates.
They express the views aud wishes of
the majority in the selection Of such
candidates and it is undoubtedly a
good general rule that the dissenting
minority, if there be one, such acquiesce
IN the will of the majority and support

ticable in consistency with the life of a

What | Know About Henkel.
BY ED. POLLOCK.

There are doubtless "a good many
persons in all parts of the country who
could have answered the question,
What sort Of a man is Hcnkel?" in n
manner better suited to promote his
interests than did the monumental edi-
tor. a prominent politician once said,
II am not afraid of what my enemies
may do or say, but Lord deliver me
from my friends 1t is perhaps too
much to claim that Mr.. Henkel is
known ''in all parts of the country, :"
but he is too well known in the limited
portion of the country reached by the
monumental paper to require three
quarters of column of It's valuable
space to advertise him as a good saloon
keeper. That Peter Henkel is a good
representative of his class is not to be
denied. And here ,cc will say that as
long as we have saloons Mr.. Uenkel is
the kind of man who should have charge
of them" 1t is good proof that he
understands the business that, ''when
he found customers were getting too
full, he refused them liquor and did
not have them dead drunk in his house.
But Mr. Ilenkel has become tired of
the business and does not wish to keep
Il saloon, so why do we advertise him?
He is a good man for that business, no
doubt, but that there are both personal
and party objections to his candidacy
for the Office of Sheriff, all good Repub-
leans will recognize, and will vote ac-
cordingly.

st. Johns Letter OF Acceptance.

The Prohibition candidate for the
Presidency has at last issued his letter
formally accepting his nomination. It's
tone confirms that which was too well
known beforehand he is playing into
the hands of the Democracy against the
Republican party. His defeat at the
hands of the Kansas Republicans by
5000 votes, when the remainder of the
Republican ticket was elected by about
10000 majority, left a wound that can
not be healed without an attempt, how
ever futile, TO ayenge himself.
He knows he cannot come within
10000 votes of an election. He
knows that he cannot get one-tenth
enough votes to make a single Electoral
vote. More than that. he knows that
every vote he decOys from Blaine's
strength will be a vote cast in reality
for Cleveland. when he talks of pro-
lection of the American people from
the liquor traffic." says the Chicago
Tribune. she knows that he is
talking nonsense. What could he do
to that end if he were elected President
and were honestly to strive for the
doctrine he now breaches? Absolutely
nothing. The regulation or prohibition
of the liquor traffic is purely a local
matter and u thing for State legislation
alone.
The truth is, that National cam
paign on the basis of prohibition is a
farce. Nobody knows it better than
st. John. The constitutional jurisdic-
ton of Congress over the liquor traffic
is confined 10 the Territories and the
District of Columbia. And long before
the Constitution can be changed taking
away control of the liquor traffic from
the States and comforting it on the
Federal Government, all the Territories
will be admitted as States. Thus Con-
gressional Interference in the liquor
traffic is practically confined to the
District of Columbia. 1t is not neces-
sary to elect third-party Prohibition
President or Prohibition Congress to
establish prohibition in Washington.
Congress will do that, whatever its
politics may be, when public sentiment
demands it. Nothing else could be
accomplished except by amendment of
the United States Constitution, which
requires Il two-thirds vote of Congress
and the ratification of thrce-fourths of
all the States the President having
absolutely nothing to do with it, not
even possessing the veto power in such
case. Unless there is reasonable
prospect of electing Prohibitionists to
twO-thirds of all the seats in both
Houses of Congress, and carrying three
fOurths of all the States on that side
issue next November, it will be useless
and foolish to vote for St. John. because
even if his prospects for election were
brilliant, he would be utterly powerless
Unless the people who vote for him
shall be actuated by the same motive
which governs him the desire to elect
Cleveland, and injure the Republican
party, and defeat the Republican
ticket--they will throw away their votes
merely to CRAFTY st. Johns personal
spite

1t is said that the mental decay of the
actor, John Mccullough, has been
known to his intimate friends for nearly
two years. Last season his acting was
not up to his former high standard and
some dramatic writers criticised his

state of the case. His breakdown in
the last scene of The Gladiator in
McNicker's thcater, in Chicago, Oct. /,
has resulted in breaking his engagement
there and all others have since been
cancelled by his manager. His disease

her treatment of her late husband is the
