In Favor of the Knights.

A Papal decree on tho knights OF labor
question, favorable 10 that organization,
has been forwarded 20 Cardinal Gibbons.
II will be remembered that in April, 1881,
his holiness, concurring with the ideas set
forth in the letter Of Cardinal Gibbons in
favor of the knights, decided that there
was no cause for gction. The Pope also
decided that IN Canada, whore manda-
ment had been ISSUED against the knights,
the members OF the order could receive
absolution on promise Of obedience 10
future decisions OF the Holy See. The
matter having been placed before the holy

concerned, provided Of course, that the

ton was held in Buffalo on the 18th inst.

halls with patr. otto satisfaction the bold
aggressive aud statesmanlike message Of
President Cleveland upon the fisheries
question, indicating the rights and pro-
claiming anew the dignity Of American cit
izenship.' The passage of the Chinese bill
and "a revision OF the immigration laws is
demanded.
The fifth plank bears upon the liquor
question in the state. High license legisla-
tion Of recent sessions il characterized and
denounced as variable, defective and hYpo-
critical legislation Of republican legislatures
upon the liquor question. much of which
was clearly Inconsistent; not honestly dc
signed or calculated 10 aid the cause Of
temperance but intended only 10 mislead
the people and for political effect
Plank six at the outset favors purity Of
elections and at the close condemns the
electoral bill vetoed 10y Gov Hill. The bill
Is condemned as having been "unconstitu-
tional, grossly defective clearly impractca-
bile and otherwise Objectionable, and which
would therefore have failed 10 accomplish
the reforms desired
After the adoption Of the platform, Dan
iel n. Lockwood. who nominated MIR
Cleveland took the stage and made "a
speech which closed with the denomination
of Gov. Hill, and moved that the nomina-
tion be made unanimous, which was done.
Lieut.-Gov. Jones was renominated next
by reclamation, and John Clinton Gray
was named for Judge of the court of appeals.

Beau Hickman's Secret.

Speaking of clever things" said
Capt. Hassler of the Interior Depart
ment, who enjoys the reputation of
being one of the best story tellers in
public life, ''you all remember dear
old Beau Hickman, the notorious beat
of ante-bellum DAYS? Shall not soon
forget my first meeting with him. 1t
was in the early days of the war One
day a crowd of soldier boys, myself
among the number, stepped into the
rotunda of Wizards Hotel The first
person we met was Beau, faultlcsly
dressed and serene, smiling as usual.
The boys gathered about him and he
gan plying him with questions.
Tell us, Beau, SAID one of the
youngsters, how you manage to live
without working.
"'Ahr said Beau, drawing himself
up stiffiy, that's a secret, and ! don't
tell my secrets without being paid for
them"
"He paused for moment and
coolly counted us over and said;
There are just sixteen of you. If YOU
will chip in quarter apiece III tell
you
I'm less than thirty seconds, sixteen
shining 25-cent pieces were laid in
Beau's hand He satisfied himself that
the number was correct, and then,
sliding them deity into his trousers
pocket, he faced about, and as he
stalkcd majestically away he added;
You wanted to know, gentleman, how
l live without working. Well this is
one way. Ia, tai!
"And then as he disappeared in the
direction of the bar, the boys, with
one accord, shouted: Sold, by Joyor !"

A terrible cyclone devastated Mt.
Vernon, Illinois on Sunday afternoon.
The number killed was at first estimated
at twenty-four but since then new vic
TINS have been taken from the ruins
and the loss of life is probably nearly
fifty, while forty or fifty are fatally
injured. During the morning, rain had
been falling and it had been laundering
but the storm was not violent About
four o'clock great bank of black
clouds gathered in the southwest, but at
tracted little attention even when the
black mass began to move rapidly to-
ward the city with strong wind. In
ten minutes the wind became cyclone
and when the cyclone passed by half
the city had been completely destroyed.
Thirty business houses, two churches,
the Louisville and Nashville machine
shops, public school house, two large
hotels, and hundreds of other buildings
were blown down. If the cyclone had
struck the town half an hour earlier the
loss of life would have been appalling.
as both churches were then filled with
Sunday school scholars and teachers.
The loss of property is estimated to be
somewhere near S1.000,000.

Phil Sheriden can pose in the coming
presidential campaign for the votes of
several nattUe states and United Ireland.
In a.political crisis il is of great advant-
age to hail from everywhere and no
where. According to the different wit
nesses Sheriden was born in four differ
ent places, and the most singular part
of the strange circumstance is that he
was born in each separate place at ex-
actly the same time. The two witnesses
who might be trusted to know some-
thing about the matter, Sheriden and
his mother disagree in regard to it. The
general himself says that he was born
on the 9th of March 1881, at Albany,
New York, while Mrs. Sheriden, his
mother, says that he was born in Somer-
set, Ohio, on the same day. A cousin
of his in Milwaukee declares that on the
31st day of March 1881, Phil entered
upon his career in old Ireland, and
others yet claim that he is a Massachu-
sets son. Given such wide range,
it is not strange that Sheriden himself
declares in favor of New York just at
this particular juncture.

Gould and Russell Sage. Should they
be indicted, tried and convicted. they

years. They are charged with having
converted securities held by them, to
their own uses. If the case ever comes
