THE AMERICAN MANS COMMENTS.

The Pulaski correspondent said
Thursday:
The editorial writer of the Sun who
penned that half column certainly new
er knew either John Arch Richardson,
the finder of the cradle, or Laps. D.
McCord, the editor and proprietor of
the Pulaski CITIZEN, who made the
cradle famous by giving the story OF
its finding pu blicity in the press.
Mr.. Richardson has the cradle-a
cradlc-now on exhibition at Sump-
ter's drng store, where a large placard
certifies that it is the .self-same cradle
an which sour Grover" was rocked.
Ii the Sun and the Times had known
of Mr.. Richardson's ability to find
things out, and of Mr.. McCord's versa
tility of talent and his ability to invent
the unfindable, they would never have
raised such a tempest over our poor
plank cradle. Mr.. McCOrd stated in an
interview that, inasmuch as Col, Dam
iel 5. Lamont, the presidents private
secretary, has seen fit to take the de-
aial OF the story on himself, the pres
ent weeks issue of the CITIZEN will
contain other information relating to
the cradle, its history and finding. We
have seen the cradle, we know how it
was found, and we can trust the gentle
men who have the matter in hand to
invent suitable history for it. The |
matter has amused Pulaskians a good !
deal, because we understand so well the |
purpose of amusement with which the |
1rst cradle story was published in the |

"A, Hit, a Hit, a PalpabIe Hit"

The Christian MtelHgencer gives Bob
Ingersoll a most telling retort: "Rob-
ert Ingersoll asked his auditors the 9TH
er evening whether a poor wretch ar
irving in q village without dollar in
his pocket would inquire the way to a
Presbyterian deacon's house? and they
greeted the sally with immense ap-
plause. He was trying to get off a
smart satire upon the meanness of or
thodox Christians, as cOntrasted with
the generosity of infidels; but he missed
his aim. Everybody knows that min
isters and other well known Christian
people are the frs ito be besieged by beg
gers. have frequently said to these
persons, why do you come here? Why
do you always go to ministers houses"
The invariable answer is that they
think they will be more likely to receive
sympathy there than elsewhere. We
might retort the question of the jolly
lecturer and ask wether poor stranger
was ever known to inquire where the
infidels of the town lived, or whether q
person in any sorrow was ever known to
seek out an infidel to afford him COM
fort. Will the man who goes about
ridiculing Christianity tell his audience
the next time he lectures where they can
find an infidel hospital, or refuge of any
society composed Of infidels which
seeks out and relieves the suffering, in
this country or in any other on the face
of the earth"

Spring Medicine.

Why does everybody take q spring
medicine? For three good reasons, viz:
Because one bottle of blood purifier
taken at this season will do more good
than two at any other. U-Because the
blood is in more impure condition
than at any other season. III-Because
the system is so weakened by this i'm
pure state of the blood that it has not
sufficient vitality to withstand the de-
bilitating effects of spring weather.
Hence, by common consent, people seek
relief in medicine. The combination of
Hoods Sarsaparilla commends it to our
judgment as good spring medicine and
blood purifier. Such things as Sarsap-
lila, Yellow Dock, Mandrake, &C., COM
pounded by competent druggists like
Messrs. Hosd & Co., warrant US in
suggesting that all in need of medi-
cine of this kind give Hoods Sarsapar-
lila trial. limo

Position OF the German Republicans,

The Cincinnati Polksbldtt, the lead
ing German Republican newspaper in
Ohio, severely condemns the cowardly
conduct of the Republican representa-
tives in refusing to allow the submission
of license amendment. The FOLKS
hiatt sternly warns the Republicans
that without the German vote they are
powerless, and that between license
and no license the German vote will be
on the side of license every time. The
Tolksbldtt lays down these facts:
Fact No. THE German Republi-
cans, indeed all Germans, are IN favor
of an appropriate regulation of the liq-
uor traffic, which may be best accom-
plished by way of license.
Fact No 2.-The German Republicans
are opposed to Prohibition.
Fact No. 3-The German Republi-
cans are a power, without whose as
sistance the Republican party in the
State is lost.
However. if we understand the posi-
ton of the Republican party correctly, it
has determined to go into the fight as an
antilicense party. The German Repub-
licans understand the situation and will
act accordingly.-Pdia Dealer.

A Report Pronouncing Marshal
Wright Guilty of High Crime and
Mfsfemeanors

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Representa-
tives Springer and Van Alstyne, Of the
subcommittee on the Ohio October
elections, have prepared a report which
says
From the testimony taken by your
committee II will appear that the depu-
ty marshals appointed by Marshal
Wright were largely in excess Of the
necessities of the situation; that they
were appointed as Republican partisans
and political workers, and in most cases
prostituted their official positions to
partisan ends; that they were armed
with revolvers and other deadly weap-
ons furnished by the National Commit
tee of the Republican party; that many
or such deputy marshals so appointed
and armed were notorious criminals
and men of known vicious and brutal
habits, and many of them were nom
resident of the State Of Ohio; that many
OF such deputy marshals, acting under
the orders of Marshal Wright, aided,
abetted and encouraged fraudulent vo-
ting, intimidation of voters, and COM
mitted gross outrages upon the electriye
franchise and the rights of honest vo-
tiers; that the employment and pay
ment of special duputy marshals on the
day after the election was without le-
gal warrant, and all moneys paid to
such persons for services on that day
We're Illegal and the sumssO paid should
be returned to the u. S. Treasury; that
the appointment of deputy marshals
who were non-residents of the State of
Ohio was without warrant and consti-
tuted q gross usurpation of authority,
and that the appointment of deputy
marshals was in many other respects
irregular, illegal and an unwarranted
abuse of his official trust.
Wherefore, your committee are of
the opinion that Lot Wright, United
States Marshal for the Southern Dis
trict of Ohio, has been shown by the
testimony to have committed high
crimes and misdemeanors; that he has
been guilty of usurpation of authority
and violation of law in the manner set
forth in the preamble to the resolution
adopted by the House of Representa-
tives on the I'd day of December last.n
The report concludes by recommend
ing that the House transmit copy of
the report and testimony to the Presi-
dent, with the request that he imme-
diately remove Marshal Wright and
cause the General to institute
for the recovery of the
money Illegally paid out by Wright,
and also such criminal proceedings
against him as the facts may require.
Representative Steward of the SUBJ
committee, dissents from the views of
his colleagues.

Mr.. b. F. Jones, OF Pittsburg, who
was Chairman Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee during the late Presi-
DENTAL canvass, was in Washington
City recently, stopping at the Windsor
Hotel. While there, speaking Of the
President-elect, Mr.. Jones said:

land personally, and in the personal
tight against him neither / nor our

We opposed his election, but now that
he is to be the President, hope he will
have a successful Administration
That he will surround himself with a
strong Cabinet, have little doubt. As
TO indicating any particular man, that
would not be proper thing for me to
do. Business all over the country is
improving; see no reason to suppose
that the country will go to the dogs
because a Democratic Administration
has come into power, and l may say
that l believe Mr.. Cleveland will make

emily IN thus entering Roumelia and ac-
ccptine election can hardly be considered
seriously when We recall the recent IN.
dependent !, action Of KoMARoFF, and
thu fact that Russia has, in the past,
gained some of the most important
points she has played for BY the
" independent " action Of hercreatures.
That the possession, real or nominal oil
Eastern Roumelia by Russia wouldbe an
important step towards the consumma-
ton Of the latter's designs upon Con-
s,antinoplc will be readily understood
from glance at the map.
1t is, of course. too much to predict
that the revolt will result in an imme-
date war. Indeed. the chances are that
if the provinces contiguous to Bulgaria
and Eastern Roumelia can be kept quiet
the signatories to the treaty of Berlin
will patch up a peace. BISMARCK, es-
pecially, we think. will not allow Rus
sia 10 90 too far. But it is not too much
to say that the situation looks like the
beginning Of the end Of an attempt by
Austria ard Russia to partition Tur-
key. 1t is not going too far to say that,
with the good feeling between the three
Emperors so firmly established, as 1t
appears TO be, it is pretty certain that
Russia will not lose anything she may
have already gained by the Roumelian
insurrection--prctty certain that her
last entering wedge will practically
stay where she has inserted it
until the time comes for another
move in force to drive the Turk out OF
Europe. However, it must not be for
gotten that when that time comes Eng
land and France must be heard from in
no uncertain way, and it is not improb-
able that it will be discovered that Ger
many's friendship for Russia has cooled.
