A Plea for the Prohibition Ticket.

MINNEAPOLIS, Marck 11.-Believing YOUR
paper to be the only one which would publish
my communication, and believing you have
the manliness to do so-will send it to your
paper, hoping you will see fit to publish it as
a matter of justice to the persons who have in
good faith, tried to unite on some good man
to administer the affairs of our city. In
order that the different factions of the better
element of our our city could be united, it
was obvious some man must be nominated
or endorsed who could unite the different
factions on the broad platform of the people,
and not the platform of any party, as that
would have been regarded with jealousy by
the others, and could not have accomplished
the end in view, but must have been destruc-
tive to the end sought. To keep politics out
of the movement was evidently the only
means of united action. To this end the
people were called together to confer and see
if something could not be done. After free
expression from all parties Mr.. j. T. Wyman
was selected and thought to be the best man
who could unite, all the different elements
who were anxious for better enforcement
of the ordinances of the city. Hewas known
to be Republican, but was not politician :;
of course he had to be something, and if OBJ
lection was raised against him as such, the
objection, with equal justice, could have been
raised had he been a Democrat or Pro-
hibitionist. So he was not nor conld not
have been either partys candidate. AS a
partisan's candidate he would have been a
failure, as the union was entirely dependant
on his being the peoples candidate. After
this much had been accomplished, which was
one grand step in the uniting of the different
elements, the next step was to circulate a
petition to the people pledging them, ire
spective of party affiliations, to his support,
SO that public expression might be had in
reference to his chances of success, when
1850 voters pledged themselves to his sup
port. There has been great deal said about
Mr.. G. A. Pillsbury becoming candidate for
mayor. When the people declared for Mr.
Wyman, and by hard work got him to con-
sent to run on the peoples ticket, Mr.. Pills
bury declared he would not be candidate in
the field against Mr.. Wyman. This was

Cheyenne Cherubs.
Yellowstone Journal.

A lively time was experienced at Zook x
Anderson ;, one Powder river following the
wounding of Iron Shirt the Cheyenne, by
Pack-Saddle Jack, the cowboy, whose real
name is A. j. Morris. The Indian had
twice stampeded the cattle under the
charge of Morris, and attempted to do so
again on the morning of the 23d Morris
expostulated but Iron Shirt brandished a
knife, trying to drive him back. Morris
broke off piece of tree limb aid threw
it at the Indian, who turned saying, me
shoot you" and ran for his gun, calling his
squaw. The cowboy then fired three shots
at him, the last one taking effect in the
left arm, breaking the bone. The squaw
and Iron Shirts son soon spread the news
to the Cheyennes. In few minutes they
were seen signaling in their own peculiar
fashion to other braves. In twenty minutes
fifty or sixty Cheyennes had gathered in
the vicinity of ZoOk and Aldersons and
began their pOw-wow which was kept up
all night. Meantime the cattle outfit had
gathered together their arms and amuni
tion and two of the boys started to warn
the neighbors. The horses were brought
into the house. four neighbors arrived and
at night party of ten held the ranch.
The Indians hung around all night, keeping
the little company ON the alert. The ap-
pearance of defense probably prevented at

BLUE AND GRAY.

"Oh. mother, what do they mean by blue
And what do they mean by gray Z?
Was heard from the lips Of a little child
As she bounded in from play.
The mothers eyes filled up with tears;
She turned to her darling fair,
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
Its treasures of golden hair.
"Why. mothers eyes are blue, my sweet
And grandpa's hair Is gray,
And the love we bear our darling child
Grows stronger every day."
|But what did they mean?" persisted the chlld
For saw two cripples to-day,
And one of them said he fought for the blue
The other he fought for the gray.
"Nov he of the blue had lost leg,
And the other had but one arm,
And both seemed worn and weary ana SAD,
Vet their greeting was kind and warm.
They told of battles in days gone by,
Till il made my young blood thrill;
The leg was lost in the Wilderness tight,
And the arm on Malvern Hill.
They sat Oh the stone by the farmyard gate
And talked for an hour or more,
Til their eyes grew bright ana thelr nearIs
seemed warm
With fighting their battles o er.
And parting at last with friendly grasp,
In a kindly brotherly way,
Each calling on God to speed the time
Uniting the blue and the gray.
Then the mother thought of other days
Two stalwart boys from her rlVen;
How they knet at her side and lisplng, prayed
Our Farther which art in Heaven"
How one wore the gray and the other the plue
How they passed away from sight,
And had gone to the land where gray and blue
Are merged in coors of light.
And she answered her darling with golden mar.
While her heart was sadly wrung
With the thoughts awakened in that SAD hour
By her innocent rafting tongue;
The blue and the gray are the colors ol 1ou'
They are seen in the sky at even,
And many noble, gallant soul
Has found them passports TO Heaven"

"WET THE ROPES,

pear Before the Pope on Palm
Sunday.

ROME, April 6th.-The Holy Week has
begun to-day by the presentation of a
beautiful palm to the Holy Father This
palm is the work of the Benedictine nuns
1t is made after the design of the artist
De Simone. The center of the palm is a
groupe of fgures-St. Ann, st. Joachim,
and the Blessed Virgin-surrounded by
angels. The decorations are finely executed,
all with leaves of palm
His Holiness has received also a present
Of12O palm-tree branches, sent by the Chap
ter of San Reno, represented by MOnsignor
Bresca. This Monsignor is the leading
member of the Bresca family, from San
Reno, which has appeared every year be-
fore the Pope on Palm Sunday since 1886
This privilege was granted on the 10th of
September, 1886, when St. Peters Square
was the theatre of great event. One
hundred and forty horses and nearly 1000
wOrkmen, with thirty-five machines, were
raising the great obelisk of granite which
now adoIns the center of the square, Ar
chitect Dominic Fountain, with a silver
trumpet was giving the signals. A deadly
silence was preserved by the presence of a
hangman, who had prepared gibbet by
order of Sextus, and was ready to hang
anyone who disturbed the performance
The celebrated monOlith of the old circus
of Caligula was nearly erect, when the
chafng of ropes began to give way. a
powerful voice shouted, "Acqua allie corne," :"
or Water to the rOpesn'
The architect caught the idea and COM
piled with the suggestion. The Obelsk
triumphantly rose on the pedestal. The
tresspasser, however, was arrested and
brought before the Pope. He was one
Bresca, captain of sailing vessel from
San Reno.
"Why did you disobey my orders ? asked
the Pope.
Because | would rather die myself
than to see hundreds killed by the fall of
the mOnolith."
We'll done" replied the Pope Thou
shalt hereafter hoist the Pontifical flag on
thy vessel What else can l do for you ~
The Captain requested the Pope to grant
him and his successors the privilege of SUP
plying palms to the Church of St Peter
for Palm Sunday, and he obtained the
favor For the last three centuries the
Brescas have appeared before the Pope of
Rome on Palm Sunday.

HY is 1T so!

Some find work where some find rest,
And so the weary world goes on;
sometimes wonder what is best;
The answer comes when life Is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary light hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts break,
often wonder why It's SO.
some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife;
And so thro' ages and thro' lands
Move on the two extremes OF life.
Some feet halt while some feet tread,
In tireless march, a thorny way,
Some struggle on where some have fed,
Some seek where others shun the fray.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave;
They W i'll not rest till roses creep
Around their names above grave
