JOnn DOlan NaDDeQ After Hiding
Some Money.
Last evening an enterprising John Doe
attempted to get away with a lap robe
from in front OF Sands & Boyce's store.
The fellow was caught and put in the
cooler. This bold attempt at robbery
convinced the officers that bunch grass
was getting short for the l%ight-fngered
gentry. and they kept all eyes open fol-
new victims. Officer J. P. Young was par
ticularly watchful, and finally his vigilance
was rewarded by making a find" and
haul all within fifteen minutes.
As he Wal standing on Sands & Boyce's
corner, or near there, talking with Officer
Hammond, he noticed a man hurrying up
the street from below, who turned the cor
ner OF Main and East Broadway, and
stopped beside an old box filled with waste
standing near the store formerly occupied
by Casey & Brophy. After cautiously
peering around the man stopped and put
something under the box, and then turned
and went down the street. The officers
kept their eyes on the man, who went down
in the Arion. They then went to the box.
and, tipping it up, found $45 in gold coin.
They then went to the Arion and arrested
one John Dolan for robbery. They also
learned that a drunken man, whose name
not learned, had just been robbed of
$165.
When Dolan was being taken to Jail he
expressed great surprise and no little indig-
nation for being arrested and wanted to
know what it was all about" The off,
GERS told him Judge Mediation would clear
up the mystery in the morning. He was
was put in the iron cell and as the officers
turned the lock upon him they inquired of
him what they would do with the $45 he
put under a box on Casey & Brophy's old
corner. Dolan's countenance dropped sew.
eral inches, but he declared he knew nothing
about it. The Ease will probably be heard
this forenoon.

Is acted out by different people, who claim
they are Chtramen, I reckon. They teeter
around on the stage and sing in the English
language, but their clothes are peculiar. A
homely man, who played that he was the lord
high executioner and chairman Of the vigi-
lance committee, wore a pair of wide, red
bandanna pants which came off during the
first act. He was cool and collected, though,
and SO caught them before it was everlast-
ingly too late. He held them on by one hand
while he sang the rest of his piece, and when
he left the stage the audience heartlessly
whooped for him to come back. 1.-THE Mika-

thing, but last night it was accidentally face.
tious. 1t has too much singing and not
enough Of vocal music about it. There is
also an overplus of conversation through the

ways, but The Mikado' is too rich for my

NEW

The fact that Henry George is organizing
party to be called the Progressive Dem
ocratic Party" is we'll known and been
duly considered. But that a section of his
followers in New York City has taken the
name of the Free Soil' party, and pro.
poses to win under the name, has not been
81 widely advertised. The mention of the
latter TACT suggests "reminiscences Of the
past as well as speculation as to the flu.
ture.
The original Free Soil party in America
took the field in 1S4S, and if this later or
organization shall appear in the national
political arena in 1883 it will be just forty
years between the two movements, The
old Free Sellers were of two kinds. Some
OF them came from the Democratic party
and had for an object the punishment of
the Southern bosses who had dominated
the organization in the interest of slavery.
These were found principally in New York
State. and by their votes for Van Buren,,
al against Cass, at the Presidential cleo
ton in 1S4S. they gave the Chief Magistra-
cy to the Wings by electing Zachary Tay.
lar. Thu Others were the old Liberty par
ty men who opposed slavery and who took
advantage of the split in the Democracy to
pool issues with the anti.slavery element
in that organization. From that move.
ment gradually developed the Abolition
party, afterward known as the Republi-
can.
Henry Georges followers have taken up
the old name because it is suggestive of the
ideas which he holds as to the tenure OF
land. Believing, as he does, that most of
the human w~retchedness of the day is due
to private ownership of land, and advanc-
ing a fanciful theory of state control by
means OF which every man who comes into
the world will have a patch of ground of
his own to cultivate, il he wishes, the name
Free Soil may answer as a catch phrase in
politics quite az well on this occasion as it |
did forty years ago. 1t may be doubted,
however, 1.-THE present movement will have
such q glorious elimination rs that which
followed the New York departure.

The stock gambling spirit has not died
out in San Francisco by any means. This
fact was evidenced day before yesterday,
when men went wild over Consolidated Vir-
sinia, Gould & Curry and Ophir, and be-
came wilder still when the news OF the fail
ure OF Frankels, Of Virginia City, reached
them. The scene must have reminded the
old stagers Of the early days OF the famed
lost in q day, and lambs from the interior
were almost hourly brought in and fleeced.
The spirit is there. The opportunity only
is needed to develop it.

AN UGLY OUTLOOK

It must DO conceded By those who havs
closely observed the turn affairs are taking
in ireland that the outlook for . peaceful
solution OF the Irish problem 10 lar from
encouraging. The Enslish Ministry has,
after exhibiting an indication unworthy 81
it, adopted a policy Of coercion, and I
appearance count for anything there i
more trouble brewing than IL pleasant to
contemplate. The landlords hoped that
by causing the arrest Of the trustees ap.
pointed by the tenants to receive and pay
to the landlords such rents ~ they 1.-THE
tenants) conceived to be justly due them,
that they would effectually spike the prin'
cipal gun OF the Land Leayuers. The opin'
ion Of Hon. Hugh Holmes, the Attorney
General orIreland, which appears in yes
terdar mornings MINER destroyed that
hope. What they win next do remains to
be seen.
But there can be no two opinions as to
the intentions OF the Tory Government
With John Dillon under arrest for his
~utterances, meetings Of the Lsaguers pro-
claimed, and some Of the leading National.
list newspapers warned, with. troops and
constables in motion everywhere, and with
the swarming thousands OF agents, spies
and informers again at work, there need be
no doubt about the intention Of the Tory
Government to take up the bloody task Of
forcing down the aspirations OF a people at
the point where Buckshot Forster left it.
The response to this o by the govern
ment is what might have been expected. In
every part OF Ireland the people are pre-
pared for the worst. 1t will not be long be-
fore in America. and in every land where
sons of Erin are to be found, the fight will
be taken up and once again the grapple be-
tween conscious wrong and conscious right
will begin. President Fitzgerald sounded
the note of warning the other day in his
letter to the American Land League, when
he called upon them to organize and pre-
pare themselves to aid their struggling
brethren across the waterwhen the occasion
required their assistance. The contest will
be fought out in the highways and byways
of Ireland, and not until one side or the
other has wearied of strife will there be q
cessation.
The fact cannot be disguised that enforc-
ing the law in Ireland means the death and
destruction of thousands Of human be-
ings. As previous attempts to enforce the
law have only resulted in solidifying
the element which has demanded the repeal
of that law and the institution of ahumane
government for the people, it may be de-
pended upon that the present dragoonine.
brutal though it may be, will have no other
effect. The pity is that while bigots and
tyrants are learning this lesson hundreds
Of thousands of men, women and children
must suffer ever unto death in defense Of q
principle as enlightened as it should be OBJ
vious even to robber lords.

First prepare your article, then go person
0onally to the editors Of the country, and cal
them one by one out into the hall, in q cur
rent Of cold air, and explain the article to
them. tn that way you will form pleasant
acquaintance and get solid with our leading
journalists. You hSve no idea, Adelbert,
how lonely and desolate the life Of a practical
Journalist is. Your fresh young face, and
your fresh young ways, and your charming
grammatical improvisations, would delight
an editor who has nothing to do from year to
year but attend to his business.
Do not try to win the editors Of America
BY writing poems beginning:
Now the merry goatlet Jumps,
And the triding ya1ler dog,
With the tin can madly humps
Like an acrobatic frog.
At times you will be tempted to write such
stuff as this, and mark it with q large blue
pencil and send It to the papers Of the n
try, but that is not a good way to do.
Seriously, Adelbert, I would suggest that
you make q bold dash for success by writing
things that other people are rot writing,
thinking things that other people are not
thinking, and saying things that other people
are not saying. You will say that this advice
Is easier to give than to take, and I agree
with you. But the tendency Of the age Is to
wear the same style of collar and coat n
hat that every other man wears, and to talk
and write like other men; and to be frank
with you, Adelbert, I think it Is TN internal
shame.
How is it with our poetry9 As a fellow
traveller and seasick tourist across LIES
tempestuous tide, I ask you, Adelbert, who
Is writing the poetry that will ivee Is 1t the
man who is saving out and sand-papering
stanzas Of the same general dimensions ~
some other poet, IN which he bewa1ls the fact
that he loved q tall, well behaved, accom-
p1ished girl, sixteen hands high, who did NOT
fequite his loves
All, no. He is not the poet whose terra
Gotta statue will stand IN the cemetery,
wearing a laurel wreath and a lumpy brow.
Show me the poet who is intimate with
nature and who studies the little joys and sor-
rows of the poor, who smells the clover and
writes about live, healthy people with ideas
and appetite. He is my poet.
Iapologize for speaking SO earnestly, Adel-
bert, but I saw by your letter that you felt
kindly toward me, and rather invftsd an ex-
preston of opinion On my part. So I have
written more freely, perhaps, than I other
wise would. We are both writer's. Measur-
ably SO, at least. You write on progressive
eucher, and I write on anything that I can
get hold Of. So let us agree here and promise
each other that, whatever we do, we will not
think through the thinker of another man.
The Great Ruler Of the universe has made
and placed upon the earth a good many mil
lions Of men, but he never made any two of
them exactly alike. We may differ from
every one of the countless millions who have !
preceded us, and still be safe. Even you and !,
Adelbert, may agree in many matters, and
yet be very dissimilar. At least, I hope 90, +
and I presume you do, also.
Yours, for health, BILL NYE.

As an evidence OF the unruffled harmony
existing in the Republican party we give
the following from the Denver Tribune Re-
publican: The mere facts that the Mug
wumps are urging the nomination of Judge
Gresham for President in 1888 will injure
his candidacy before the National conven-
ton. II we mistake not the Republicans
who fought to elect Blaine and Logan will
be in the majority in the next Republican
convention. It is doubtful whether the
Curtis crowd will be permitted to enter,

SOCIALISM is monarchy in disguise" This.
says an exchange. is a correct definition,
and it is strange that people who ought to
know better cannot see it. The most
grinding despotism imaginable is the des-
potism Of q government Of the people, in
which the individual citizen is looked upon
as belonging to the State. Socialism and
monarchy are founded upon the theory
that the State is first and the individual
second. The necessary tendency of this
theory is toward -despotism.
