TALK ABOUT SELLING
CLOTHING CHEAP.
PERFECT NONSENSE.

Away with such aeeting stories,
and when you wish to get your
moneys worth. and more too, go and
trade at Smiths. Buy your clothing
from responsible house, and from a
person that is responsible for what
he says and does. That place is none
other than the Long Brick Store.
Just received, car load Of Overcoats
to be sold cheap. That means quick.
How you like that. Respectfully,

The recently promulgated edict of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge, /. o. OF, requiring
all members of the "Circle" to sever their
connection with that order on the first day
of January, on pain of expulsion from the
Odd Fellows, may DO justly regarded as a
piece of unwarranted and tyrannical legisla-
ton, and is working great injury to the order
of Odd Fellows, in many localities. The
powers that be will, probably, discover their
error when it is too late. Large numbers
of the fraternity are withdrawing from the
order rather than obey the unreasonable
command of the Sovereign Grand Lodge.
In some localities lodges will be almost, if
not wholly ruined. As there will be no
meeting OF the sovereign body for long
time 70 come, the error cannot be corrected
in time to prevent great injury to the welfare
of the order. Good Odd Fellows, everywhere,
regret the summary action that has been had.

Thu democratic supreme court of Ohio re-
versed the decision of the lower court in the
contested Cincinnati election cases, on the
alleged ground that the courts had no right
to interfere with the democratic frauds per
petrated in ths. city, and that the dispute
could only be settled in the state legislature
The lower Honse has settled it, and, On Tues
day last, nine democrats holding seats by
fraud and false count, stepped down and
out, and nine republicans who were right
fully elected stepped in. A ballot was had
for senator, giving Hon. John Sherman TWEEN
ty-sir majority in the House and Judge Allen
q. Thurman three majority in the Senate.
Thus Sherman is, as he should be, his own
successor, by net majority of twenty-three.

cordipg TO statistics obtained during the late
parliament, there are l,o69,l27 similar hold
ings, distributed as follows: Ireland 547,222;
England and Wales Ala, s04; Scotland so, lol;
thus giving this country quarter of a
million more tenant farmers than are found
in Great Britain itself, the nursery and home
of landlordism. This assertion is indeed O
startling one, and plainly indicates that the
tenant tenures in this country, and for re-
modelling OF our laws in reference TO the &C
quirement and ownership of real estate. II
may be that il will be found necessary to
limit by legislation the amount of land that
shall be owned and controlled by one indi-
yidual or corporation. 1t would certainly be
for the best interests of our people that laws
should be enacted making aliens ineligible TO
acquire the ownership of land in this country.
Probably the fact that wealthy foreigners
have bsen and are allowed TO acquire large
areas of the public lands has done more than
any thing else to introduce and foster the
undesirable, un-American system Of English
landlordism in this country. II is high time
measures should be adopted TO check it and
crush it out of existence. American lands
for American citizens should, henoeforth, be
the watchword. While we extend a welcome
to all those who seek our shores with intent
to become of US. and while we afford them
every facility 10 acquire at nominal cost,
sufficient lands on which to erect happy
homes for themselves and children, and
from which they may, with reasonable
degree of industry, acquire not only living
but competency and even wealth, we should
have not single foot of Gods green earth
for the rich or titled foreigner who buys our
lands only because he thinks it a profitable
investment for his surplus wealth, who has
no expectation of ever becoming an Ameri-
can citizen, but who would fasten on our
country system that has continually cursed
the nations of the old world and that would
be still greater curse TO this.

met, last Sunday, and formally resolved that
1--WE view the passage of the bill to create 500
extra police as a direct menace to the organ
lied workingmen of this city. and we ask
Governor Hill to withhold his signature. "
This haste of the organized workingmen" to
identify themselves with the disciples of Most,
for whose benefit. mainly, the extra force Of
police was added, indicates that the bill in
question was not passed too soon. A few
more such ill-advised utterances as this, and

The christening of the infant heir to the
throne of Spain, which takes place at Madrid
tomorrow will be celebrated under painful
circumstances, the babe being posthumous
child, born months after the death Of its un
fortunate young father. The formal rejoic-
ings that were observed at the time of its
birth, and which the world may believe were
genuine feelings of JOY, were likewise very
incongruous, when it is taken into considera-
ton that the mother of this future king is
not yet out from under the deep shadow of
her widowhood. The world will have no tar
rying at the tomb of loved ones, but is ever
intent on it's own.

PROHIBITION does not always prohibit, and
the papers of those States in which the expert
ment is supposed to produce the best results
bear witness that it is in many places fail
ure. The Brunswick, Me-, Telegraph is
moved to remark: "a hen without tail feath-
ers would be about as effective to brush up
the streets rs the constitutional amendment
to put stop to drunkenness, evidently on the
increase in this State" And while the evil
of drunkenness is on the increase in State
in which prohibition is the rule. the people are
deprived of the revenue that might he col
lected from the traffic. By attempting prohi
bition the traffic is practically made free, and
the taxes that should be collected from it have
to be raised from people who have nothing to
do with it. The people of any State may well
hesitate before adopting policy that will pro-
duce such results.

A SIGNIFICANT incident happened at the
church, in Brooklyn, in which Frederick
Douglass lectured on "John Brown" on Sun
day evening. The choir started in to sing
that well battle hymn of free
dom, "John Brown" 1t got through the
first verse without incident, but when it
struck the chorus the audience, unlimited,
joined in, and the result was volume of
sound that awoke the neighborhood with won
der at what was going on. Most of those
who participated were gray-haired men, who
knew the meaning Of the stirring words, and
there was that in the incident that meant
very much to those who once more lifted
voice in this grand old rallying song, sung on
a thousand marches as the troops of freedom
swept down on the strongholds Of slavery and
rebellion. 1t will never die so long as the
american Republic shall endure.

THE comment of the London press on the
the result of the trial of Alderman Jaehne is,
as usual, pretty full of errors, which might
have been expected; but when one of the
leading papers of the metropolis seriously re-
marks: ut took four days to get together a
jury honest enough to convict this peculator.
and then the jurymen had to be placed under
police guard lest they should be bribed to
acquit the bribed," the stupidity of the Brit
ish press is deserving of rebuke, and it
should be administered. Had the paper in
question taken the trouble to inform itself, it
would have discovered that it is the custom
in this enlightened land to select jury not
on account of its honesty and unapproach-
able integrity, but rather for those re-
markable qualities Of stupidity and igno
rance that would qualify them to be

the editor of London daily. The man who
knows the least is the one the law delights to
call in to adjust matters of law. The very
moment man confesses to having read any
thing in paper or to have heard anything,
or to have formed any opinion of any kind,
he is disqualified. 1t is all right for juror
to be honest, if he so chooses, but unless he
can prove that he has not sense enough to
steal without being detected, he cannot hope
to shine as juror. With this slight excep-
ton the structures of the London press are
timely, and no fault can be found with them.
1t is matter of fact that there is too much
rascality in the way juries are "fxed" in this
country, but they are hardly as bad as the
London paper would have it.

we're very like man who had deliberately
murdered a friend or acquaintance and then

escape, flying to the uttermost parts of the
earth to avoid arrest. Law and justice will
be cheated if this petted scoundrel be allowed
to escape the penalty attached to the crime

An enterprising newspaper suggests that
President Cleveland, who has never been

combine business and romance on his wedding
journey by extending that tour throughout
the country, and thus getting the bearings of

find trip of this kind useful and instructive
in geographical way, but, so far as the pub

is to swing around the circle, that the Folsom

WHEN General Rosecrans was in California
he seems to have swindled the government by
taking up land titles through proxies when
he was not legally entitled to them. A paper
published on the coast excuses him on the
ground that this method of acquiring land
was so common that few knew it to be illegal.
Rosecrans may escape by pleading ignorance
OF the law, but there is moral aspect to the
matter which he can hardly evade by the
claim that he didn't know. A man with such
loose principles of honesty is hardly the sort
of citizen who should be made Register of the
Treasury.
