MEANS AGAINST BossIsM

Mr.. J. B. Bishop, an essayist in Serb
ner'S MGgdzine, charges the boss in politics
thereby meaning the manipulation and
cont oller of the purchasable elements
to the neglect of the State to print the
ballots. That is not the bottom cause.
The root of the evil is the neglect of poll
teal duty by the citizen who is not sub
servient to the boss. The printing Of bal
lots by the State will be useful in
approaching q desirable end, but it will
not give us political purity; that is attain
able by no patent process. The San
Francisco Bulletin, commenting upon this
subject, thinks that the remedy for the
evil is the complete exclusion of money in
elections and campaigns. But that will
not exclude the trading of tie loaves and
fishes. 1t adds:
When the delivery of purchased votes is rem
dered rs nearly impossible as it can be; when
nobody is allowed to spend money on elections
but the candidate himself every item to be pub
lished, when the assessment of office-holders in
any form is prohibited, it will have struck II
who have done so much to bring selfgoyern-
ment into contempt. There will be no place for
them when money is absolutely eliminated from
politics.
This is too hopeful view. If the full
extent to which legislation can 90 to pre-
vent the use of money in elections is en-
ployed, it will still remain that bargain
and sale of places, the trading of influence
and the division of spoils will suffice to
give the bosses occupation. Such legisla-
ton as suggested should be had it would
certainly be wise to have the printing of
tickets done by the State since the Govern
ment ought to furnish the citizen the bal
lot to deposit, as well as provide the place
for polling it. that there may be uniformity,
no intimidation nor dependence so, TOO,
1t would be wise means to employ to pro-
vide for the absolute privacy of the voter
when casting his ballot, that he may be
free from any vicious superintendent
these will not root out the evil against
which Mr.. Bishop and the Bulletin ex-
claim. The determination desired must
result from conviction on the part Of those
who favor clean methods that they are to
be attained by outvoting the Objectionable
in the club, the primary, the Convention
and at the polls. Until the maority-for
it is the majority-does this no ak will be
laid at the root of the tree, though there
may be much preliminary looping off of
limbs.

THE GREAT coNTRovERsY.

Colonel Ingersoll no doubt iocls
 greatly complimentcd In view of tho
 notice which Mir. Gladstone has taken
 of him, but we doubt ifMr. Gladstone
 will! feel complimented when he has
 read Colonel Ingersoll's reply. The great English cofnmoner Is an able and adroit debater, but In a contro-
 versy on a subject which admits of the introduction of no statistics, hc K no match for IDgersoll, a man whoso touch turns argument into poetry ; W hose deft fingers tie bright ribbon about stern fact. We do not say that Mir. Gladstone is not on the right side of the question, but VIC do say that In our belief no man can stand mp against Ingersoll's stinging wit and whitening ridicule. Mir. Gladstone (how boldly the dwarf can write of a giant) has made mistake in tanking himself as codicil on the Field -Ingersoll He brings no argument he permits not a glimpse of his own inner faith. He only tells what he believes in showing what other people should not accept. He clipgs with simple and beautiful fondness to the of his mother, but lDgersoll will tell him that this is "born Of hu- man affection" He turns with deep reverence to sacred things, but inger- soil will tell him that in this he Is not superior to the Mussulman who turns toward Mecca. Mir. Gladstone argues from 6 basis of faith. Ingersoll does not recognize faith, but demands the of an absolute fact.
 Many thousands of people will read this controversy, and when it is nD- Ished the believers will side with Gladstone and the agnostics will smile at Ingersoli's shrewdness and remain as they are, unable to believe and unable to disprove.

ILL. RocK ARK, SATURDAY, ss

One day there unexpectedly arrived man who declared that he was sim ner compeller. With the exception of an immense jaw there was nothing remarkable about his appearance. When he arose to preach, he stam- mered in rough and ungrammatical sentences. He called on Cad to come up to the bench. Cad snickered. The preacher came down from the pulpit and approached Cad. Then spirited performance was begun. The preacher cuffed Cad with unmerciful vigor. He knocked the old fellow down and rolled him on the floor. He seized Cad by the collar, dragged him to the altar and jammed his head on the bench.
 Hold on, parson," said Cad. "Hold on, fur you have p'inted out the streaks uv lean an streaks uv fat uv sin in the bacon uv my life. Pll repent"
 "Give up then, do ye?"
 "Yas."
 "An' you won't slide back?"
 "Never."
 "All right then, repent"
 Cad became an exhorter. In truth, he was soon known as the leader of revivals and the most persuasive agent of the mourner's bench. It was not until several years afterward that he learned the truth of his conversion. A prize-fghter had been pitted against him, but, having forgiven the imposition, he continues to devote his life to cause which has made him a better man.-Opie P. Read.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

Major Iris Throckmorton, who was many years the proprietor of the Galt house, at Louisville, in the golden time away back wonder before the war, was one of the most courtly of a grand coterie of gentlemen to which he belonged. He was the boon com- panion of gifted Tom Marshall, bril- liant Prentice and glorious Clay; the Prescotts, Breckenridges and Shelbys of the Blue Grass region were his friends, and because of Major Throck- morton's nobility of character, high family rank and social qualities, as we'll as for the fact that the hotel which he owned was a splendid estab- lishment, the Galt house was in those days the headquarters of the elste of Kentucky, when that element so- journed in the metropolis of the state.
 Upon the occasion of Charles Dick ens' visit to this country, during the time when he was gathering the ma- terial for his "sassy" "American Notes" and "Martin Chuzzlewit," in which he 30 successfully ridiculed the people of this republic, he was hos pitably entertained in Louisville, as we'll as elsewhere in the country. During other hours of those self-same days he was engaged at those works in which, though at times he told un- pleasant truths, he advanced far be- yond the frontiers of fact at other times, and allowed his imagination and his pen to run away from con- mon decency and the natural grati- tude that even beasts frequently evince for disinterested hospitality.
 While in Louisville, Dickens was the guest of the Galt house, and dur ing his stay Major Throckmorton brought it about that he should re- ceive distinguished consideration at the hands of some of the brightest lights in literature, statesmanship and social life of the region and the time.
 One evening Major Throckmorton busied himself about the preparation of . glorious little dinner winch was set in a quiet refectory of the elegant hostelry. It was . triumph of culi- nary art, and was to be covered with the most sparkling wines and the rarest of liquors. To this, for the pur- pose of having them meet Mr. Dickens, as his guest, Major Throckmorton had invited George D. Prentice, Thomas F. Marshall, Dr. Theodore Bell and numerous other luminaries of litera- ture, and the learned professions gen.

 toms plan for little surprise for his friends as well as Mir. Dickens, and everything was working like charm. The visitors had arrived and were be- ing received in the handsome apart ments which had been assigned to MT. Dickens. Guest after guest arrived who were presented in person by Ma jor Throckmorton, until at last the list was checked of, and the propitious moment having arrived, Major T. en- tered for the purpose of preparing MT. Dickens and the other gentlemen for what they were to expect in the matter of the pretty feast which he had intended as crowning, though unexpected, turn to the pleasures of the evening.
 Dickens had brought with him to this country the English idea ot inn keepers, and being more or less parvenu snob himself, he was disposed to put on airs; and when Major Throckmorton entered, and fell into familiar terms with the gentle men present, Dickens ill-concealed his displeasure, and at last when Major Throckmorton approached Dickens and with his broadly hospitable intent suggested to the novelist the idea of leading the way to the banquet room, this man who presumed to know more about Americans than Americans know of themselves, said something to this effect: "You are getting quite too officious, landlord. When desire your attentions shall call for you. For the present ysssaaSEgE Esstire-ss---,
 The scene which ensued was re- markable one. The honest, bluff, gall lant and hospitable Kentuckian was for moment simply astounded. And then he became indignant. The idea that such a gentleman as he, becs use he had condescended to the personal supervision of some extra hospitali- ties, should be taken for lackey, or head lackey, or something of that na- ture, at first astonished kim, and then fired his southern blood. "Why," said he, "you damned coxcomb, I'll throw you out of window P and he was proceeding to put the idea into execution, when his friends present, who were but little less indignant, easily persuaded the irate, yet still hospitable host, to desist. Dickens quickly saw his mistake, and offered apologies, which were accepted, but the dinner was not bowling suc- cess. There seemed to be a large s.chunk Of cold shoulder" lying at nu- merous places about the table. Even the champagne, which followed the barely tasted viands, was not effective in bringing about the cordiality which should reign on such occasions. The dinner was, in fact, exceedingly brief, and yet not very much to the point, and MT. Dickens was shortly "left alone in his glory"
 Though he wrote of many things unpleasant to him, with which he  came in contact in this country, he did not write of his escape from an aerial voyage from Galt house window, nor, in fact, anything in connection with that episode of his visit.
 The facts here presented were given me more than twenty years ago by one of the most distinguished of the gentlemen then present, all of whom have gone to a banquet where even snobs cannot make mistakes, If they should happen to get in, and where a fall from one of the windows would land the unfortunate, very much broken up, about where Lucifer struck when he went on . strike.- WuI
