The political papers are getting
their quilts and scissors in good trim
and laying in an abundant supply Of
paste. This is to be an exciting year
"a year of hot political contests. The
Republicans are already mixing up
their war paint and sharpening their
tomahawks. It's going to be hard to
suit the dear public this year, and it's
very probable that if some party
could induce the angel Gabriel to
trim offhis wings, lay aside his corne,
and come down and make the race,
the other parties would be ready to
swear Gabe has already served two
terms in the penitentiary, one fol
stealing an overcoat one cold nigh,

other for knocking down poor Grip,

from him. It's awfully hard 70 suit

Louisville Home and Farr

A Chester pa gentlemen tells an
interesting story Of the manner In
which Delaware county farmer got
rid of crows. He was greatly
troubled by the depreciation Of these
birds, and all the means to drive them
away permanently having failed, ne
tried an original plan. Taking a hall
peck or more of corn he soaked il
thoroughly 10 whiskey aud then scat.
tered the cereal along the fence Of tbe
field chiefly visited by the feathered
thieves. He soon had o number oil
crows eating the doctored corn, and
as they didn't fly away he went TO
observe the effect of the dose. He
found every crow drunk, some lying
over on their sides, others tottering
around In o maudlir attempt TO Fly,
He could have killed every one, but
resolved to wait the out come Of the
drunk, Gradually the birds recov.
cred, and one by one few unsteadily
away. During the remainder of the
season the farmer was not troubled
by o single crow.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED
President leveIand Does No
Favor Mixed schools.

State Chronicle,
Some weeks ago a Radical sheet in
North Carolina, which has neither
regard for decency nor truth, made
the assertion that President Cleveland
favored mixed schools, and that,
while Governor OF New York, he had
signed q bill that compelled white
and .colored children to attend the
same school,. The Chronicle had no
idea that the statement was true, but
in order to have denial from head
quarters, the editor addressed letter
to the President stating the charge
made and asking if the charge was
true, The following is the reply: :,

G.. A. SULLIVAN, ESQ,
DEAR SIR:--Your letter Of inquiry
regarding the truth of the report that
! approved bill while Governor au'
thorizing mixed schools in the State
Of New York Is received.
The only bill that | know of being
passed and approved on that subject
while was Governor was one affects
| ing the city of New York, and had
precisely the contrary efect-that is,
the purpose and object was to retain
| the colored schools separate and dis
ltinct from those of the whites.
Mr.. Nelson J. Waterbury, of New
York City, think, drew the bill. and
Prot. Rasin, Superintendent of Col
ored Schools, and Rev. Mr.. Dimmick,
both of New York City, advocated it
strongly. -,
i The school board of New York City
had determined to consolidate their
schools with the white schools 4; and
the bill took them out of the control
of the board so that it should not be
done. It was strongly urged before
me that separate schools were of much
more benefit to the colored people
than mixed schools. / approved the
bill and I suppose in the city of New
York colored schools are separately
maintained today by virtue OF it
provisions. H.
I have thus given you all I remem
Der on the subject of your inquiry.
! before the receipt Of your letter, ths
: : this matter has been so grossly mis-
! represented.
Yours truly,
y GROVER CLEVELAND.

Anschlag is at last coming to a. realiz-
ing sense OF his position. Up to the
present time ne has acted very much as
man does who has no care for the
future. During the last few days, since
he was informed of the decision of the
Supreme Court, he has been sullen and
silent.
E. G. Hutchins, Tribune compositor,
was on trial yesterday before Judge
Cheney on the charge OF Burglary. One
night early in April MIR. Hutchlns got
very drunk and thereafter remembered
nothing which happened. He was ac-
cused of having entered the room of
| Maud Toombs, domestic at the Kim
| bali House on Buena Vista street, and
having taken various small articles. The
case went to the jury about three o'clock
and after remaining out short time
found Hutchins not guilty.
Arthur Weyerman, who is accused OF
the murder OF his brother Bernhard, was
taken before Judge Cheney yesterday
morning. In lieu OF an examination be-
fore the lower court the testimony taken
before the Coroner's jury was supposed
to be sufficient to justify an information
being filed. This did not satisfy Judge
Cheney, who remanded Weyerman back
to the Township Court to receive an ex-
animation in due form.
