It begins to look as though Demo

favorites with the Senators and
Congressman. and so will be given
the cold shoulder without condiment

politicians as easily as child does

An extraordinary sensation has
been produced in Boston, by the
death of a millionaire named San
born. He was supposed to be the
most exemplary man in the city,
leading in the revival meetings,
subscribing money to churches and
doing all sorts of pious acts. 1t
now transpires that his income was
derived from renting houses of i'll
fame, and that he actually expired
in a brothel. His most cheeky act
Of hypocrisy was to present girls
school with marble busts of himself
and his favorite mistress. His pic
,ure is published in the Police Ga
zette, and if it is a correct likeness
the people of Boston must have
been very innocent to have toler-
ated such a humbug as long as
thew did.

The old veterans appear ed well, and received many oyations as they passed through the mass of human beings on either side of the streets. It was an interesting sight indeed to see the manner in which many of the old and crip- pied warriors hobbled along in the line. Not few wer9 there whose vacant sleeves or wooden legs told the tales of desperate wounds in bloody battles. There were many who stumbled along on crutches, and the wrinkled visages and gray hairs of the majority of those in the line recalled the vigor which once represented the strong soldiery of the north. Many who showed no outward indication of wounds marched with feeble steps, although the precision with which they kept in line in- dicated the discipline of their service. When the line entered Congress street, General Logan, who rode Tn carriage, re- ceiyed continuous ovation. The general kept his head uncovered nearly every mo- ment after entering the procession.

N. Y. Tribune It Is announced with considerable grief and virtuous indigna- tion that the upward movement in the stock market last week was simply "gun- ming for shorts" We'll, if it was, why not :? Is there any reason under the sun why a 'sshort"- that is to say, person who has sold property which he does not and did not own-should be considered a sacred individual? Why should his inter- ests be regarded by anybody rather than the interests of other people who have put their money into something? One does not quite see how, in the present state of the market, anybody can be more profit ably or honorably employed than in hunt ing down ssshorts, and compelling them to get back at more or less heavy loss the property which they had no business to sell in the first place. A vast deal of sym- pathy is wasted ill Wall Street, as in oth- CT speculative markets in Chicago and elsewhere, upon the people who deliber- ately attempt to destroy the value of prop erty which other people own by selling what they do not possess. But in justice these persons are entitled to no considera- ton whatever They take the risk with their eyes open, and know right we'll that the owners of the property which they have sold can go ''gunning' for them whenever they please, and rum them also if they can sufficiently agree. Under such circumstances, whatever the short" seller gets is good enough for him.
 The body of Thomas Lahey was found last Sunday in an old we'll on the farm of Michael Eagan in Darien.

When taken out there were found bullet ssholes in the head, and other signs of murder The body had the appearance of having been in the water two months. Lahey was tramp who had worked for Eagan, and it was known to neighbors that they had quarreled, resulting ill Eagan's pounding Lahey, severely. Eagan has been arrest ed and held for further developments. l Coroner Holt investigated the mystery, Tuesday, and as result of the testimony given he is convinced that the body found was not that of Thomas Lahey, but that of a tramp who had probably been mur- dered by his companions.
