The nual Celebration.

There is lack Of harmony In the emanci-
patton celebration billed for tomorrow. The
two factions having failed to unite on any
harmonious plan Of action, there will be two
celebrations, The "People'sn wing of the
celebrants claim that the President has
promised to review them to the total exclu-
sion Of the "Chase faction. But the "Chase"
people are going ahead with their prepara-
tions for "big time" which no doubt
there will be II the two parades run afoul
Of each other.
Said Mr.. Chase to CRITIC representa-
tive this morning: " have received no
such message as was reported in one Of the
morning papers. The people are acquaint-
ed with Mr.. w. II. Barker, and have but
little faith in the negro messenger Sim
mons, who has compromised the dignity of
the Executive Of the Nation by saying that
the President viii not recognize the most
respectable procession ever known to the
age. The President made no such state
ment. He is too honorable man."

being quietly cut, will be In all likelihood
openly slashed. The st. Paul Is suffering
from the cutting In the Northwest, but can
retaliate toward Omaha, where the vital

without suffering any more itself. That

once" "There is too much bad blood"
says q Rock Island officer. "The whole
system Of the st, Paul and Northwestern
roads are affected by the cut to eight and
ten cents TO st. Paul. Not oneffth Of their
local points escape. Those roads cannot
affect the Rock Island or Chicago, Burling-

Incorporating fables in their reports. Your
"Interested reader" treats us to theology
I'D Nbitun, but he cannot make black white.
Let me tell him; that when "God created
man in his own image it is not the cor
ruptible body that is meant, but it is the
mind, the soul, the intellect, the reasoning
powers; the only things in which man is
superior to the dumb animals by which he
is surrounded.
If the term "dog-faced man" however
is so repulsive to him, | will gladly with
draw it, and simply call them, ''craniums
of gems homo, sadly deficient in intellect,
but with u~nequalled capacity for masti-
cation, owing 10 the ~prolongation of the
lower facial organs"
IAN interested reader will find out
some day, that it is bad taste to treat any
thing with ridicule simply because he
has not heard of it before: as also that a
reference to the Bible. to decide a scientific
question, will not always prove facts to he
wrong, but will only. carry Us back to the
times of Peter Of Abano, Cecco D,Ascoli.
