TIE Boston Ree0,d says that a man
must be made up politically in curious
way who cannot get some comfort ont
OF the election returns. The editor of
the Boston -ldcofiSer gets about as
little as anybody We know Of, cspe-
cially out of the Massachusetts returns.

the labor organizations should keep
out Of politics. But that was before

AcCoRDISG to Mr.. John jarrett him
self, TO whose efforts Mr., Morrison at.
tributes his defeat, the Protectionists
did systematic work, not only in Mr..
Morrisons, but in other districts MIR.
Jarrett is the secretary OF the Tin
Plate Association. lie says that carly
in the summer the tariff men laid out
their campaign, making arrangements
TO hold demonstrations in Cincinnati,
st, Louis, Birmingham, Nashville and
other Southern cities" All plans were
carefully made and carried out in such
a manner that Mr.. Jarrett now spends
q good deal of his spare time in chuck
ling over the outcome. Mr.. jarrett
made about twenty-five speeches in
Mr.. Morrison's district and also spoke
twice in Mr.. Carlisle's bailiwick, and
he laughingly adds 1--WE were especi-
ally after Morrison and we got there"
There is n large e.sized moral concealed

INFAMY CIRCULATED.
Smith, in RhineIander, is Burned to the
Ground and the Inmates Burned
to Crisp.

Tuesday morning Of this week, one
Of the most frightful and blood-curd-
ling disasters which ever occurred in
this northern country took place at
Rhinelander, J. A. Smiths house Of
i'll repute and four Of its inmates (pro-
prietor Smith included, } being burned
to crisp. A man by the name of
Clark Jumped from one Of the windows
and escaped, but was badly burned
and is now lying in a serious condition.
The wa5chman or shepherd Of the vile
flock, did not discover the fire until
the first story was all ablaze beyond
his control $50 he claims The fire
was evidently the work Of an incendi-
airy, and the incendiaries are supposed
to be the fiddler and Waterman. They
have been arrested and will be exam
ined. The names Of those who met
their death are j. A. Smith, Daniel
Doyle, Mrs. Doyle and Maggie Profit.
An inquest was held and the jury
brought in verdict that the inmates
came to their death by being burned
in the house set on fire by work of
incendaries, believed to be the watch
man and fiddler, Kelly and Fred
Wescot j. A. Smith is we'll known
in Merrill and along the river, and we
believed he lived for sometime in Grand
Rapids, He was generally employed
in the woods as cook. He was about
six feet four inches in hight and
weighed about $50 pounds-L6ncoJe

sympathies.

The greatest horse racing event OF

Kentucky Derby, when one of the

at Louisville. The race proved the
grandest mile and half struggle ever

A HYPOCRITE. President Cleve-
land has been vetoing several pension
bills passed by congress, because Gen.
Black, the pension commissioner, tells
him that there is not full proof in his
department TO entitle the applicants to
the pension, aud because it is setting a
bad precedent to apply to Congress
Gen. Black is poor authority for Mr.
Cleveland to rely on. He is not only
an inconsistent man, but his advice
about "appealing" to Congress is
tinged with hypocricy and deception.
By special act of Congress Black
draws 500 per month, on the ground
that he is ''wholly disabled" and
''absolutely unfit for work" And yet,
he now draws $4,000 a year from the
government as Pension Commissioner,
and is one of the most active politi-
clans in Illinois. He has made repeat
ed canvasses for Congress, and other
Offices.
That he was badly wounded, is true,
and no one begrudges him the 300 a
month pension. Since he has been
Commissioner his course has been cut
rageous. Knowing well how difficult
it is for an old soldier, with hospital
| record, to secure absolute proof in all
cases, he is technical in the extreme,
and instead Of giving them the benefit
of the doubt applies the rule the other
way. This $500 month 'stotally
disabled pensioner'' talks glioly about
applications for others being based on
fraudulent grounds bat if the same
rule was applied in his case, he would
soon be stripped of his plumage. for
no man who draws a pension on the
ground of being ''totally disabled, :"
and absolutely unfit for work. is
capable Of performing the duties of
Pension Commissioner, or making
active campaigns for Congress. Before
such man should complain of the
grain of saw dust in his neighbors eye.
he should remove the ten by twelve
scantling out of his own The idea of
man Directing to old soldiers appeal
ing to Congress, a0ben he did the same
thing hanosel, is unequaled for hypo.

How CoLUMBUS FOUND AMERICA
The following story comes from school in
the Midands. The master told the BOYS
of the third.class to write short essay on
Clumbus. The following was sen, up by
an ambitious cssayist:
'Clumbus was man who could make
an egS stand on end without breaking it.
The King Of Spain said to Clumbus:
'Can you discover American
Yes said Clumbus' if you will give me
ship
so he had ship, and sailed over tho
sea in the direction where be thought
America ought to be found. The sailors
quarrclcd, and said they believed there
was no such place. But, after many days,
the pilot came to him and said:
.Clumbus, | sec land
Then that is America, said Clumbus
when the ship got near, the land was
full of black men. Clumbus said
Is this America p
Yes it is said they. Then Cumbus
said:
Il suppose you arc the Niggcrs?
Yes they said, we are The Chief
said suppose you are Clumbus.?
You are right said hc
Then tho Chief turned to his men and
