A remarkable illustration Of the
manner ia which prisoners are some-

GERS of the law was given in the bear

The eloping couple were then taken
to hotel, Marchand to one room by
Westherhorn, while Mrs. Hill was
closeted in another room with, her
husband and O'Mara, where vain at
tempts were made to induce her to

there Mrs. Hill dcmand counsel She
asked for Hon. Thomas M. Marshall,
to which O'Mara replied: "You can't

Upon Mrs. Hill refusing her assent

THE PRESIDENTS LECTURES.

President CLEVELAND talks to congress
just as teacher would talk to lot of
schoolboys. He is not at all backward about
giving congress q good lecture for its de-
Linquincies whenever the occasion seems to
require it. Of course the congressman do
not like it. They think that the president
s impertinent and has disposition to
stick his nose into matters that ought
not to concern him. But the people do not
think so. They rather like the crisp talk
that Mr.. CLEVELAND gives to congress
every now and then. They like it because
it is an evidence that the president keeps
his eyes open and knows what is going on.
They like it because they think that con-
gress deserves hot shot, and it is gra tifying
to see the president pouring grape and can
mister into them. Every broadside that Mr..
CLEVELAND gives congress is enjoyed by
the American public. His last message
calls the attention of the country to the
very negligent habits of congress. He saws
that when these numerous private bills are
passed it is done when but few members of
congress are in their seats. That state
hlCHb 10 ldLlChldoiy uuc- LII Is Sale 10 as
sert that of one-half the measures
that pass congress. not one-half of
the members of congress have any
knowledge of them. 1t is no wonder
that our national legislation gets into such
tangled shape when members of congress
are so negligent of their duties. Now that
the president has called public attention to
this matter, it would be a good idea for the
voters to run over the congressional record
and note the absentees at the various roll
calls.

THE KIND OF SLOTH.

Certain Republican organs, with energy
worthy of a better cause and with sub
lime disregard for the facts in the case, are
attempting to bring charges of sloth and
incapacity against the different cabinet
officers and the departments under their
charge. If these absurd assaults are in
dorsed or countenanced by the Republican
party at large the Democrats will hardly
need more effective campaign document.
Every business man in the country knows
that since the departments were taken charge
of by Democrats there has been complete
revolution in the methods employed by them.
Clerks, instead of being allowed to idle
away their time and practically make their
own hours of incoming and outgoing. have
been obliged to conform to strict business
rules and to give the government fair
days work in return for fair pay. In con-
sequence there is not single bureau which
is not far better systematiZed and which
has not accomplished more work than ever
during Republican administration. That
is not mere assertion, but a matter of
record. If increased efficiency of the work
ing force and decided improvement in the
quantity and quality of work performed is
sloth, the country will doubtless be very
willing to encourage it.

CHANGES.

Like one who hears with sudden throb of sad
ness,
The lingering cadence of an old refrain
Which wakes the echoes of some vanished
gladness
With tender pain,
So stand now with mingled pain and pleas
ure,
After long absence, at well-known door.
Which guarded once my darling, my hearts
treasure
In days of yore.
Still bloom the roses in their old-time sweet
Round this dear cottage in nv native land:
Trained is the hedge with all its wonted neat
ness;
The old elms stand.
Still slopes the lawn in beautiful graduation,
Like q soft carpet of the richest green:
Still leaps the fountain with its light pulsa-
ton,
Frightening the scene.
Years have not changed it; now, as then, the
Winds i'll the distance like silver stream;
Through the old orchard still the sunbeams
culver
And brightly CLEAN.
Ali but no voice of sweetest modulation
Nor ripping laughter greets my listening
ear;
All the bright scene but breathes in desola-
ton,
"She is not herer'
''Not herel not here!' the murmuring elm
trees sigh it,
The rustling grass repeats it meath my
feet,
Her cherished roses mournfully reply it
In odors sweet.
Ger the soft lawn the shadows westward
creeping
Darzy enfold me at the rose-girt door,
In deeper shadows lies my dear love>sleeping

O,Learx VS.. Setback.

The ffty-hour square heel-and-toe walk
between O'Leary and Schock at the Wash
ingten rink, Minneapolis, commencing
Thursday evening next, promises to be the
most interesting foot race that has ever
taken place in the Northwest. O'Leary is
confident he can outwalk the German, and
Schock is equally confident that he can
show better score at the finish than
O'Leary. In the articles of agreement the
parties agree to contest square heel-and-
toe walking race, the duration of which
shall be fifty hours, and take place at the
Washington rink, commencing Thurs
day. June "a, at s p. H., and end
ing Saturday, June 26, at 10 p. M, aud
the man covering the greatest distance in
the said time shall be the winner. 1t is
mutually agreed that the race shall be for
500 side, and to bind the same they
deposited the amount in the hands of
James McAndrews, Jr., of Chicago, he to
act as stakeholder. The winner is to re-
ceive the stake-money and 70 per cent of
the gate receipts. the loser 80 per cent. OF
the gate receipts. Several small wagers
have been made on the above race. At the
St. James hotel. where O'Leary is staying,
he is the favorite. while at Brown Bros ,
Schock has the call.

Cardinal Taschereau Issues a Man.
dament Against Them.
Special to the Globe.
MONTREAL, Que, June s2.-At the de-
liberations in the council of the Roman
Catholic bishops of the province. Cardinal
Taschereau presiding, the following manda-
ment forbidding adherents of the church
connecting themselves with secret societies
was orderdd to be read in all the churches
throughout the province:
1.-THE cosmopolitan character of secret So
cietieS, particularly that of the knights of
Labor necessarily expose many who belong
to them to obey orders Of a council sitting in
foreign country, which at a given moment
may be opposed in interest and at war with
the government to whom its members owes
allegiance" To convince Catholics still
further of the danger of placing themselves
under the control of a hidden power, the
fathers quoted the words of Mgr. Martin, an
American, who they say was able to pronounce
upon the constitution of these secret socie-
ties. The third danger of utilization with
secret societies is that they are a menace to
those who incur their displeasure, their
hatred or their vengeance. These lodges may
serve the worst ends and become instruments
of tyranny, even in opposition to the best
recognized rights. Those who form part of
those societies and refuse to leave them can
not be permitted to partake of the sacra-
ments, even at death, and are deprived Of
ecclesiastical burial.
Mr.. Reyes. chairman of the local execu-
tive committee, Knights of Labor, says that
at a meeting of the executive committee,
held last evening. it was determined to
ignore completely the pastoral denouncing
the order. Reyes represents the English
speaking lodges. Mr.. Helbrenner, chair
man Of the French lodges, says the French
Canadians will cut adrift from the order,
as they all fear the authority of the church,
while the Irish and English Catholics think
the bishops have overstepped their author

day exercises of Wisconsin university that

the valedictory by George Brown OF

A TARRF TILT.

Gen. BRAGG evidently expects to be
i0ved f0r the enemies he is making. He
succeeded yesterday in drawing from Mr..
RANDALL an expression of contempt which
will be worth a good many votes to the
general when he comes to run for congress
another time. Gen. BRAGG lives in sec
ton Of country where they hate protection
as his Satanic majesty does holy water The
very best card that congressman from
Wisconsin can play is to draw
upon himself the fire of a man like SAM
RANDALL. 1t is all indication that
he is making himself thorn in the flesh of
the Eastern protectionists. Whether Mr..
RANDALL really has contempt for Gen.
BRAGG or whether he wanted to aid the
Democratic party in congress by securing
the return of the Wisconsin member, it is
all the same. He has done Gen. BRAGG a
great deal of good, and at the same time
has helped the cause of tariff reform. When
MIR. RANDALL loses his head and INDUCES
in snappish talk to his own party friends it
is pretty clear indication that he is getting
a little shaky on the tariff. He feels that
the ground is slipping from under him.

POSTMASTER ANKENY.

The sharp contest for the Minneapolis
postoffice was concluded yesterday by the
president sending to the senate the name of
Gr J. j. ANKENY to be postmaster in that
cIty. Several prominent Democrats have
signified 4 willingness to accept the posi-
lion, and the friends of some of them have
Deen active in presenting their claims
and urging their appointment. All of the
gentlemen named in connection with this
office are Democrats of high standing and
nigh character. 1t is no disparagement to
any Of them that the choice should have
fallen upon Mr.. ANKENY. The appoint
ment is one that will not only be satisfac-
tory to the people of Minneapolis but graft
flying to the Democracy of the entire state.
Mr.. ANKENY is man of methodical
business habits, gentleman of sterling
integrity and Democrat to the backbone.
His Democracy is the Democracy of prn-
;ple and knows no wayering. Yet he is
not so partisan as to be blind to his duties
as a citizen. He is kind-hearted and atfa-
pie in manner. and consequently general
favorite with all with whom he is brought
in contact. The people of Minneapolis
will never have cause to regret his appoint
ment and now that the contest is over
Mr.. ANKENY's late rivals will doubtless
tender him their congratulations.

A Dog That Climbed Trees.

Sb. NlCuOldS.
A friend of mine who lived in the Sierra
Madre mountains had colly that was an in
veterate tree-climber, and woe to the squirrel
that climbed up trunk that Jack could
scale. Of course, straight trees were out of
question; but one that grew at an angle of
forty-fve degrees, and had rough bark, was
quickly mounted by the colly.
This curious habit was the result of his
passion for squirrel hunting, and the moment
one of those little animals would dart up q
favorable tree Jack was after it, scrambling
up so high that he was often found by his
master thirty or forty feet from the ground
barking fiercely at the squirrel, which had
sought refuge on a limb beyond the reach Of
the dog, In returning Jack would settle close
to the Iree-trunk and back down inch by inch,
exercising great precaution, well knowing
that with his short claws he was at a disad-
vantage. When within few feet of the
bottom he would slide and scramble to the
ground.

New YORK, June 22.-The day at
Sheepshead Bay was wet and gloomy and
the track heavy, yet the attendance was
very fair and the races all that could be de-
sired. In the Fourth race Astoria swerYed
against the wire fence on the back stretch
and breaking through threw her rider,
Meaton, heavily on his head and then rolled
over on him. When examined by the doc
tors. Meaton was found to be suf-
fering from conclusion of the
brain with probably internal in-
juries. His recovery is a matter of doubt.
Just before the first race Anthony Com
stock and the sheriff of Kings county made
their appearance on the betting ground and
Immediately all the betting boards were

Brooklyn, where they gave bail in 50, coo
each for their appearance when wanted to
answer charge of selling pools. After

GARLAND'S WEEDY ROW.

1t is q misfortune that the committee of

eral GARLAND should have divided on
partisan lines. The country wanted the
facts and not the opinions of partisans. 1t
is lamentabie state of affairs when a
public officer is not to be judged according
to the law and the evidence, but his guilt
or innocence is to be determined by the
political convictions of the jurors by whom
he is tried. Republican members of congress
advocated the election of AMEs G. BLAINE
TO the presidency Notwithstanding that he
was more guilty of offenses with which Mr..
GARLAND stands charged, and yet thew
say the attorney general ought to be ex-

men denounced as crime in Mr.. BLAINE

OF the yachts was not materially changed
during the remainder of the race, excepting
that the Pearl began to gradually gain on
the Swallow and shorten the distance be-
ween her and her rival, crossing the home
buoy at 1:14:39, the Pearl at 1'14:47,

Phyllis at 1:24:44. The best time
had been made by the Pearl in $500.
and the longest by Phyllis. in 2:18:25. The
prettiest piece of sailing was accomplished
by Skipper George A. Bracket of the Ida,

tirety was exciting and satisfactory, and
the view from the bow of the Resander,
which steamed over the course, was I'M
usually good. The judges were Capt A.

will be announced in the future, and it
would be well for the committee to place

thus avoiding any disputes that arise. Be-
