sluggish pool, where the current is not
strong enough TO keep the water in mo-
ZION, is stagnant and foul. Dirt aud

The New York Telegram asserts that
the telegraph operators Of The country
are all ready for another strike, and only
await the signal to step out again, II is
stated that the strike will be directed
solely against the Western Union com
pany, as the great monopoly which
makes prices, controls men and holds us
employees under it's thumb. The opera
tors claim that they are better organized
now than they were at the time of the
previous strike, that the experience
gained by them has made them veterans,
ana hence that they can go into move
nant with better chances Of success. The
excuse for the strike is to be the reduc-
ton Of wages that is now going on.

CAPETo"N, Dec, threat excitement has
been ere ted throughout the Cape Colony by
the announcement that Mr. Upington, the
premier Of the colony, has joined tho Boer
party in ter dispute with England. Speak
ing in parliament on the subject he strongly
defended TIE demands of the Beers
receatly made TO the British commissioners
that they be allowed compensation for the
war in M0ntsoa territory, and the recogni-
ton of Goshen as an independent re-
public with the right to the queen to
place a president there. He eulogized
the GoShemitns for refusing to accept
the British high commissioners terms
in regard to their war on Montsioa and Just
flied the annexation of Montsioas territory
by the land Of Goshen. The speech of the
premier has greatly el ted the Beers who are
making active preparations to resist any at

At the time Mr.. Blaine was making his
spiLeful and passion melting speech at
Augusta the conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal church was in SEES
sion at Memphis, Tenn, and when the
text of his TRADE was published there The
conference proceeded at once to the con
sidcration of the "State of the Country, !"
and adopted report that in itself is q
most scathing rebuke of the Plumed
Knights statements. 1t concludes as fol-
lows:
1--WE do not, however, Join with the
alarmists in their belief and cry of com
ing evil. God reigns and revolutions
never 90 backward The national con-
stitution is an impregnable rock, and the
fortress in which the liberties and rights
of the people are lodged Parties may
change, the internal and external influen-
ces and policy of the government may be
modified, but the essential and glorious
victories won through holly contested
battles, from the days of the revolution
down to the present, have, as the rock
bed of their endurance the very life and
hopes and aspirations of all the people.
We believe that reason has greater sway
than passion, common sense and liberalty
than prejudice and narrowness and that
in every section of our common country
the better judgment and higher instincts
of the people will combine to make the
rule of the incoming administration n
source of universal blessing and happi-
ness. To this end we pray that the Chief
Magistrate elect may be continually fav-
Ored with the presence and guidance Of
Him who is above all and over all-God
blessed forevermore.
We also pray that he and his co advisers
may be instrumental in so directing our
political affairs as to effectually and per-
manently remove from our politics the
race question and sectionalsm. We want
no north or south, but a common people,
inhabiting common country, with
common interests and common destiny.
As race, we neither desire to be granted
nor resfued anything by reason of ouT
color or previous condition. We are a
part of the great American people, and all
we ask is to be given an equal chance in
common with our fellow citizens-to
share with them equal rights and equal
privileges under the law. We desire nc
more; we shall be satisfied with nothing
less. With this we pledge our greatest
zeal and highest endeavors to contribute
in every way possible to the stability,
prosperity and peace of our free institu>

sECRETARY McCULLoCH,s REpoRT

One is tempted on reading the report of
the secretary of the treasury to wonder
what it was that the politicians were
fighting over little while ago with so
much asperity, remarks the Chicago
Herald. If Hugh McCulloch is a repub~
lican, and it is presumed that he is,
or he would not be member of the cab
met under a republican president, why
should he advocate a policy relative to
the tariff which his party leaders only one
month ago were trying to convince the
people meant the destruction of the coun-
try2 Mr.. McCulloch does not stand alone
among republicans in his support of tariff
reform. His predecessor, Judge Folger,
urged the same reasons for change that
he gives, and President Arthur has re-
peatedly in messages to congress shown
the desirability of a revision of the duties
on imports. In view of all these things
and OF the declaration in the last republi-
can platform that the tariff ahould be re-
duced, it ought not to be possible for
demagogues and alarmists any longer to
make party foot ball of this most impor
tant question. Business men and sensi-
BILE men of both parties recognize the
necessity of an intelligent revision of the
tariff. In calling attention to the most
imperative demands of the hour, Secretary
McCulloch is putting some shallow and
monopoly ridden members of his own
party in an uncomfortable position, but

Case.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4-The Investigation Of the
BraHd-Leman case hy the federal grand jury
has shown that there were bogus ballots III
tie ballot-box from the Second precinct in
the Eighteenth ward, and has turned up the
men who engraved and printed them The
testimonr Of Samuel B. Wright secretary
of tho 2 L. Hanscom company,
AYERS that Joseph c Mackin was
the person who ordered the printing of the
bogus tickets Mr. Wright says that he re
ceived the order from Mackin about noon
Oh Nov. u, the latter bringing to him Re-
publican ticket which lie wished to have
duplicated About 70 o'clock at night
, 900 tickets had been printed and witness
took them to Mackin's room at the Palmer
house Mr.. Wright testified further that
he went to Mackin Il few days ago, and
that the latter told him that he and his
brother, William H. Wright, ought to leave
town to avoid being called before the grand
Jury No indictments have been presented
against the judges auds clerks Of election in
the Second precinct, although week ago
| the jury voted to indict them. Il is probable
that this action will be rescinded, as no evil
dence against the judges and clerks has been
found.
| Joseph c. Mackin was apparently not
alarmed when he heard the revelations made
concerning lin in the grand jury room, and
| said there was no truth in the statement
The committee Of thirty citizens held a
meeting ard decided to offer s., 000 reward
! for TIE dete, ton of the mea who committed
the fraud, and the lroquos club passed n
resolution denOuncing it.
| Nendesday morning the grand jury con
| tinued the investigation and examined H.
| W. Wright, Of Hanscom & Co, and William
| Ryan, night watchman at the county clerks
| otiicc. The former added nothing
| of importance to the testimony
Ryan declared it was impossible for any one
to have gotten access to the ballot boxes
after they were put into the vault, aud that
no ono did SO. The grand jury thon went
| over to the clerks Office and examined the
vault, returning to the jnry-room after the
examination.
AT the request of the grand jury Judge
| Blodgett issued an order for the production
of the ballots before tho grand jury. The
ballots We're taken to the jury room and
| Wright, Falls and others were admitted to
testify as to their identity. Nothing of the
testimony transpired up to the clo-e of this
