Protest of the Protestants.

Two largely attended public meet
ings were held at Boston last week
Wednesday for considering the public
school question, growing out of the re-
cent action of the school board in re-
moving a teacher for alleged incorrect
Interpretation of certain Roman CathO-
lie doctrines as outlined in SwintOn's
history, and in disseminating the use
of the history in the public schools.
The first meeting was in fremont tenn
pie in the afternoon, under the auspi-
ces of the association of the Loyal
Women of American Liberty. An
" Appeal to voters from tue Christian
women of Massachusetts," was read,
which demanded that no Roman
Catholic be elected to serve on school
committees, or be employed in our
public schools that no Protestant not
in sympathy with the public school
system be allowed to serve on the
school committees that Mr.. Travis be
reinstated to the position he has been
so unjustly deprived of by a Roman
Catholic committee, and that our Prot
estant teachers be protected from Ro =
man Catholic intimidation. The Sec
ond meeting was public mass meet
ing in Faneuil hall in the evening,
which was densely packed. Resolu-
tions were adopted embOdying the
principal points contained in the IRE
mont temple appeal. A committee
headed by DR.. Miner was appointed to
take charge of the work of bringing
the whole matter before the voters of
the state. An overflow meeting was
also held in fremont temple in the
evening, with addresses.

How the Spoons Came Back.

The danger in making wedding
presents do double duty is suggested
by this story in the Pittsburg Chroni-
Gle: All at once the idea came into her
head that she had a great superiority
of fruit spoons. Why should she not
send some of them to her schoolmate
for wedding presents There seemed
to be no objection, so she sent the but
Ter down to the bank with orders to
pick out a pretty case of spoons. The
butler fulfilled his mission. None of
the presents were ticketed, so that it
was altogether impossible to tell from
whom this particular set of spoons had
come. The spoons travelled once more
to an hymeneal altar, and the lady who
sent them heard nothing about them
for several days. Then she received
the following letter -
Dear Madam am very grateful to
you for returning the spoons. l
thought they were too good for you
when | sent them TO you as wedding
present, and it is honest in you to send
them back.
Yours ETC.

Poisoned Daggers.

This anarchist conspiracy at Chicago
which Bonfield has unearthed, threat
ened the lives of many besides Judges
Gary and Grinnell, and the inspector.
At the time of the anarchist troubles
it was freely asserted that the friends
of the men who were hanged or sent to
prison for participation in the Hay
market tragedy, would revenge them
selves upon the officials who were in
strumental in securing the conviction
of Parsons, Spies, ct al.
Dynamite was to be used for this
purpose, and it was after these threats
had been made that the residences of
Judge Gary, States Attorney Grinnell
and one or two others were guarded
day and night by policeman for 10
days. The suspected parties have
been watched and tracked day and
night, and HrOnek, the leader of the
cOnspirators, was finally arrested at
his house. Later number two and
number three, Chapek and Chebowa
respectively, were secured.
owe have evidence enough to hang
this trio, says chief of police Hubbard,
and to put some of their accOmplices
out of the way where Fielden and

enough evidence to warrant the justice

awe had intimation that the three
men in the group had daggers with
poisoned points, but paid little atten-
ton to this feature. When the dagger
was found under Hronek's bed, Bon
field, suspecting the presence of poison,
cautioned his men against touching it
at all. A dog from the pound was
brought here this afternoon and pierre

One Mans Fight for His Rights.

The manly fight of Odber M. Hartt
against the despotism of trade-uniOns
is being recognized in a substantial
way at New York. Early in the week
Mayor Hewitt, urged, as he says, "by
a firm conviction of conscience, that
the public owed debt to Hartt," issu-
ed an appeal for subscriptions to help
defray the expenses of his legal con-
test. Amounts, small and large, are
being subscribed, in many instances
by workingmen, till already something
more than $1,000 has been received at
the mayors office.
A brief recapitulation of Hartt's case
will be of interest to every law abiding
citizen. Some two years ago he was
foreman in Gardner & Estes shoe fac
tory at New York, and was obliged to
discharge an employee for thieving.
The shoe makers union insisted that
the thief should be taken back, and that
Hartt should be discharged. When
their demand was refused strike was
ordered, the firm were brought to terms
and Hartt lost his place. Going to Bal
timOre he secured another position, only
to find himself confronted with the ran
cor of the union which procured his dis
charge a second time. Then HART be
gan to ask himself whether this sort of
tyranny was legally permissible under
free government, and concluding
very justly that it was not, he had the
committee which had prevented him
from keeping his place indicted for
conspiracy. The progress of the case
was slow, and weaker man than HART
would have yielded as he saw his means
slowly eaten up by legal expenses; but
he fought pluckily on, till finally he
had the satisfaction of decision in his
favor from the court of appeals. The
cOnspirators were dealt with leniently,
as they could show that they we're ig-
norant of the true nature of their Of
tense; but on repeating it they will
find themselves behind the bars in
short order.
Mayor Hewitt, who followed the
course of the contest with interest, is
confident that Hartt's guiding motive
in pushing the matter was not revenge,
but sense of duty toward the public.

Seth Low has handed in his formal
resignation from the LIST ward republic
can association of Brooklyn, and six
others followed his example. We give
Mr.. Lows letter -
Dear Sir: | herewith tender my
resignation as member of the 1st
ward republican association. do so
because | am unable to support the
party upon the platform recently
adopted at Chicago. | believe i'll pro-
lection for this country as a means to
an end | glory in the results achieved
under it in the last % years, but to my
mind the signs are many that IN not Il
few directions protection here has done
it's perfect work and is now doing
harm. Therefore | believe in a revis-
ion of the tariff upon principles direct
~ opposed to the Chicago platform.
/ had hoped the republican party
would itself undertake to remodel the
tariff upon lines that would gradually
transfer the industries of the nation
from an artificial to rational basis.
| believe that such cause is de-
manded by the true interests of labor.
The policy actually outlined seems to
me full of danger to the country. The
higher and the tighter the dam is
made, the greater will be the destruc
ton when the flood breaks through,
and cannot believe that a country so
large as the United States can be per-
manently held aloof from the great
trade movements of the outside world.
l remain in sympathy with the repub
lican party as to many points, and es
pecially am in line with them in their
attitude toward state matters, but in
asmuch as l feel compelled at the
present time to be controlled by the
foregoing considerations, | deem it
proper to place my resignation at the
disposal of the association.
Respectfully, SETH Low.

1t Wasn't Protested.
Washington Critic.

A very busy Chicago banker was to
be married to an Omaha girl, and the
day fixed was June 4 at high noon
The day came but the groom did not
materialize, and at a. m. this tele-
gram was received: "For heavens
sake, tell US, what is the matter. This
is your wedding day and the hour ap-
proaches." He was scared half out of
his wits, and bounced around like a
hen with her head cut off. Then he
rushed to the telegraph office and sent
this answer: "Thought l had three
days of grace. Don't let it go to pro-
test. Coming on the next train" The
wedding was late, but it was a merry
one, and all was forgiven.

where near Milan.
Scalchi was regarded as the lioness
of the evening, and came on the stage
in gorgeous Columbia river salmon
colored silk and low cut neck. She
was at once recognized by the Carson
audience as looking like Jennie Forrest
of the Capitol clearinghouse (whOse
advertisement appears on our inside
page).
There was some misunderstanding
between her and the piano man, and
they did not start off together. The
pianist grazed up and down the whole
range of keys and made several STAG
cato ticks to attract her attention, but
she paid no heed, although probably
she was quite ready at any time to start
whenever the tune broke in where she
wanted it.
When they did hitch, however, all
went we'll. All agreed that when on
the lower register she was great. AT
ter she finished had she applied to get
on the great register of Storey she
could have done so.
Nannetti and Glassinini, the two dis

though they sang in their Italian
tongue they wore regular American
clothes. 1t is said that when Ganibilki
died his mantle fell on Nannetti, but
we should say that his pants fell on
him also. These were the pants that
Ganibilki wore on his last appearance
here in 1868, for all recognized the bag
at the knees. Their singing was fla
vored high and the applause loud.

POLITICAL COMMENT.
A Reply to Rev. DIR. Cuyler.

AeU 10TE 1Ddhyettst
1t is a very great matter that he mis-
represents the platform, and the party
which proclaimed it. Certainly not
one of all who know and honor him
would imagine, but for his own explicit
declaration, that he believes the re-
publican party to be in favor of free
whisky All would have said that he
who accuses DIR. Cuyler of holding to
such a view as this grossly ISLANDERS
him. But here is his explicit state
ment that the republican party "would
give US free pipes and free whisky ~
lis it possible that he believes this
What proof does he have to warrant
such a belief He gives nome To be
sure, he says that the platform declares
for free whisky. Suppose the platform
could be made to yield such a con-
struction, must we not construe it in
such way that it shall accord with
the history of the party2 And does
that history show that the party has
stood as the champion of intemperance
and drunkenness At most, the plat
form proposes to remove the tax on
whisky only in a contingency which is
remote and wholly improbable. 1t de-
clares the party's devotion to the
American system of protection, and by
way of emphasizing this devotion, says
that rather than surrender any part of
that system, it would remove the gov
eminent tax on whisky. But if our
navy should be restored if our har
bOrs should be properly fortified !; if
great and needed public works should
be constructed if all articles not pro-
duced in this country except luxuries,
should be put on the free list if all
just pensions should be paid, and the
public debt be steadily reduced, there
would be no surplus, and no need of
touching the whisky tax. And this is
all there is of the charge so fercely
made, that the republican party is in
favor of free whisky. That unscru
pulous opponents should make such a
charge is not strange but of one who
says of the party that sits name and
fame are very dear to me-" should thus
ignore its asst history and its present
position is amazing indeed.
