THE PEOPLES Party ought to feel pro-
foundly grateful; the County Dem
ocracy have put an opposition ticket IN
the field, and now the Republicans and
Young Democracy are issuing calls,
presumably with the same object in
view; all seem burning with a desire to
be wiped outef existence, and the Peo-
pies Party only needed this arousing to
accommodate them.

Mr.. John 7. Burke, the coal dealer, is now
taking orders for the coming winters supply
of hard coal, and the coal is now arriving
and ready for delivery. He handles only
the best brands, such as Lehigh, Lackawan-
ma, and Wilkesbarre, such as he has sold
and such as has given universal satisfaction
during the past two years. This is really
the time to put in your coal. 1t is cheaper
now than it will be later; and the public
may rest assured of the lowest price in trad
ing with MIR Burke. He means il when he
says he will not be undersold by any dealer,
for he has always lived up literally TO that
rule. So that by leaving your orders with
him now, you will save considerable mar
gin over later prices in the fall. Orders can
be left at Burke Bros grocery store or by
telephone No. ll3.

wa, the dogs we're let loose, and soon their
deep baying sounded through the dense
woods that line the river at that point. The
party was hurriedly gotten together, and
not prepared for a long seige. Some ofthem
had no sovercoats, only two had guns, aud
about nine.tenths of them were more orna
mental than useful. The animal, variously
designated as panther, bear and tiger, and
by others a catamount, hyena or lynx, was
not run down, and no traces of him were
discovered. Thos. Johns, a farmer Of that
vicinity, came into camp at sunset and cor
roborated the story that wild animal was
loose around there; farmer named OFT
added his testimony also. Z. ii. Raymond
colt was attacked by the animal not long
ago. 1t was also seen by other residents of
the neighborhood. After three hours
further chase the capture of the animal was
given up and the party returned to the city
1t may be added that though the party was
poorly supplied with arms, there was sutii-
cient ammunition in the crowd to kill two
or three tigers. Frank Kendig had field
glass, and when he got tired sweeping the
horizon 10 king for signs of the ''painter,
he would pull out another glass and take
survey of the planets, Nattinger became
rocious rs he neared the probable lair of
tie beast, and soon got into huge pair OF
tor. boots, overalls, hunting shirt and SLOUGH
ed hat. Nat Eels, Sumner Cullen and Geo.
Beatty had on their lavender-colored panta-
looms, with kid glove attachments. Judge
Gilbert, Henry Mayo and Andrew Lynch
became bow-legged from climbing the almost
perpendicular cliffs, and lost all their sus-
bender buttons The result of the hunt
was one poor little wood -pigeon. However,
two foxes were unearthed but they, also,
were too cute, and were not captured.
Tomorrow noon a large party leave again
for the scene and will camp out all night,
and next day it is thought force of 100
people will be in full pursuit of the beast.
The party of Wednesday had right royal
time, even though they failed to capture the
what-lsit. There is some grand and beau
tiful scenery at the Horseshoe Bend, and it
repaid the party fully for the trip. To-mor-
row the hounds will be in charge Of Sheriff
Milligan and p J. Cary, and big hunt is
anticipated.

Songs of the War.
New York Graphic,


Some one describes in Philadelphia
paper the methods of Frank Howard
the popular singer and ballad composer
It is stated that after writing the words
he will get together several members of
the minstrel company with which he is
connected, and they will all sing, suggest
and criticise, while he embodie' on the
piano, till at last the melody, thus ham,
mered out, is made to fit. The author of
that famous war song, John Browns
Body" describes, in a letter to the
Graphic, similar process in connection
with that wonderful piece of passion
and nonsense, patriotism and, brutality,
high-wrought enthusiasm and emotional
fervor. The author, Mr.. Jerome Leo
nard, resides at Russell, Kansas He
was boy of sixteen during the first bat
tie in the summer of 1861, living at Leav-
enworth, Kansas, where his elder BROTH
er was an orchestra leader in variety
theater. Leonard was fond of music,
and very much in the habit, with boy
companion, of drumming off combina-
ton tunes from old melodies floating in
his head. The Eighth Kansas Voiun-
teers, commanded by John A. Martin,
now Governor of that state, were in
Leavenworth during June, 1861, prepar-
ing for departure to Kentucky and Ten
nessee, from which department they did
not return until the war was ended. The
soldiers frequented the Canterbury, and
"John Brown Had Little Niger" One
More River to Cross" "Canaan's Happy
Land" and other catch songs, were ex-
hausted. Young Jerome heard his
brother talking of the need of new war
song, went to his room, and hammered
out of an old cracked piano and two old
Methodist camp-meeting tunes the stir
ring rbymatic melody, with it's "hallelu-
jah" chorus, we know as the John Brown
song and music. He wrote two of the
verses, afterwards so famous, and they
were sung on the boards that night. 1t

from Leavenworth to Boston harbor,

Massachusetts, then garrisoning Fort
Warren. By them it was brought to the
Potomac. The Eight Kansas carried 1t

A newsboy on the street next day added
the striking, if coarse, line, half humor-
GUS, half brutal, and wholly impassion-
ed:
We'll hang Jeff Davis to sour apple tree
As we 60 marching on.
With that line the John Brown song
was fairly launched, and met everywhere
in the Union lines the favor of the SOL
diery and the adaptive verdict of the
people. Nothing ever replaced it. Mrs.

the campfire, but the rude and stirring

CURTIS PATS CLEVELAND on THE
BACK.

Mr.. George William Curtis is
mugwump Of the mugwnmps. and 1t
is gratifying to find him congratu!a-
ting mugwumps and the country gen
orally, on President Cleveland's rec
ord as 4 civil service rctormer. In &
recent address before the Civil Ser
vice Reform League, MIR. Curtis was
pleased to say that the present
had done more for
reform than any that preceded it.
Wing, Democratic or Republican.
We readily admit the truth Of
the statement with which Mr.. Cur
tis starts out, that neither the Re-
publican nor the Democratic party.
as such, is '.distinctly and consistent
"" a civil service reform party. Mr..
Curtis might have gone further and
predicted without fear that neither
the Republican nor the Democratic,
cor any other party ever would be
s'distinctly and consistently" civil
service reform party.
The Democratic party is and al
ways has been civil service reform
party. though not in q mugwumplan
sense. 1t believes in honesty and Ca
pacity in office, and it believes that
just little more of these qualltica-
tions exist within the party than else
where. There will always be in both
parties number ofmen doubtless hon
est and Intelligent who believe in
Mr.. Curtis's kind Of civil service re-
form but the vast majority OF the
rank and file of any party in this
country will continue to believe that
'sto the victor belongs the spoils.'
There is q large number Of Republi-
can office.holders, who, just at pres
ent. are no doubt ardent admirers of
the Civil Service Law, but their ad-
miration is liable to cease at any
moment.
The whole address Of Mr.. Curtis is
interesting from an Independent
standpoint and quite fattering to
Mr.. Cleveland and the present ad-
ministration.
