Brosius to defend himself upon the ground
that the New Era's omnious and long con-

The Pripcin1c of II,

OF course the price which the city pays
for the shoeing of the horses of the fire de-
partment is no great matter in dollars and
cents, but there is very important princi-
pie involved. The committee invited pro-
posals and got them, and then awarded the
contract to the highest bidder. 1t is con-
tended that he had the job before and did
his work well but it is also shown that he
bid this year fifty cents higher than last
year, while his competitor bid the same as
last years contract price. And yet the
1ommittee shamelessly ignored the lower
bidder!
IN voting to overset this job, Select Coun-
cilmen Evans, Berger and Wise show
themselves to be honest and intelligent
councilmen Riddle, Remley, Urban and
Long are not. With Messrs. Demuth and
Doerr rests the decision of this matter.
They ought to settle it the honest way.

REV. DIR. JOHN J. MORAN, who attended
Pee in his last illness and in whose arms the
poet died, keeps on in his praiseworthy work
of vndicating this genius from tho popular
impression that he died drunkard's death.
He is now reinforced by the testimony of a
lady, in the house of whose father, when she
was a girl OF thirteen, Poe wrote "Ihe Ra-
ven." Her father used to deal in plaster and
clay casts, and on a shelf over the door of
the room in which the famous poem was
composed was 'bust of Palas. The lady
says she never saw Poe under the influence
Of drink, ana neither did her father. That

THEY know thing or two in Old Mexico,
for all. 1t takes eleven years of study there
to secure admission to the bar, and then a
lawyer is not quite sure that he knows it all;
for the bosom of the judge is the sanctuary
of the law and while the courts regard prece-
dents, if there is no personal, social nor polt-
ical reason to depart from them, it takes
slight consideration to influence each tribu-
nal to start de moro and establish law for it.
self Despite this debasement of the judi
ciary, the professional etiquette is so rarfied
that it is violative of Mexican ethics for a
lawyer to hang out sign or to have any office
except in the library of his private resi-
dence.

WITH regard to the many instances of re-
ported premature burial, Rev. DIR. lrcneus
Prime, the veteran editor of the New York
Observer, has gone to considerable trouble
to look into the matter, and has found that
in not single instance could reported case
be substantiated. There have been 227, 900
interments in Greenwood cemetery, and not
one person has been ever suspected of being
buried prematurely. In view of this it is
reasonably argued that there Is no occasion
for the frequent long waits between death
and burial, and decency, comfort and health
would bo promoted by more prompt funeral
customs Cremation is sure preventive
against the reported horrors of premature
burial.

moro--The Confederstes.

Reunion Of the Army Of the Potomac In Balti-
more-fhe Confederate.
The Grand Army Of the Potomac at their
business session at Ford's Grand opera
house, In Baltimore, Wednesday, reelected
General Grant as president, the event being
accompanied by the widest enthusiasm.
General Horatio G. King called the mooting
TO order, and said that he had been COM
missioned by General Grant to express the
regret Of that gentleman at being unable to
be present and fill his duties ms commander
Of the society. Major General II. J. Hunt,
senior vice president occupied the chair in
Grants place.
When nominations for officers were in oD-
der gTay-haired General John G.. Robinson
came on his crutches to the front of the plat
form, and after acknowledging the three
cheers with which he was received, thanked
his friends for mentioning his name for the
| position OF commander Of the army of
the:fotomac, but said that he would under
| no circumstances allow It to be used in oppO-
| sition to that illustrious soldier now holding
that position, and he moved that the sccre-
tary be authorized to cast one ballot on which
be inscribed the name of Gen. u. s. Grant.
The various corps associations seconded Gen.
Robinson's motion and II was carried by a
standing vote, amid the widest enthusiasm,
which lasted several moments.
ANOTHER KIND OF EXCITEMENT.
After the rest OF the officers had also been
reelected there came another scene of great
disorder, but of different sort from that ac.

II. Brown, Of Washington, suggested that, as
II. Il. Lee Camp, Confederate veterans, oi
