MACHINE POLITICS.

EDITOR BULLETIN In the "Ad-
vertiser," Nov. 2Sth, Reform comes
TO the front, with long rigmarole
about the lower grade of American
machine politics. He says, ''the
writer is evidently unacquainted with
American machine politics or with the
technical meaning of the term boss" ;"
Perhaps so, Mr.. Editor, but then,
am afraid that Reform knows rather
too much about machine politics,
for his own good; he has probably
been there. Again he says, "the
modern boss is the latest product of
the spoils system of politics, and is
found in perfection in the slums,
ETC." Taken altogether in one dose,
] should say he has drawn very
dark picture for the bosses. But
then it appears to me that the whole
scope and object of his long drawn
out third rate lawyers argument is,
to lead the people blindfolded, from
here, down through the Labyrinthian
cesspools of American machine
politics, and hold them there, with q
view of drawing veil and hiding
from sight as long as possible the
bosses in Hawaii nei. But there is
no use in kicking against the pricks !;
for the whole compact of bosses,
big and little, have their fingers
directly and indirectly, clean and
unclean, in the Government pie !;
and the pie, through such a con-
glomeration of lingering, already
shows signs of that most dangerous
disease called collapse. Therefore,
arise, oh ye hypocrites, and deceiv-
ers of the people, and turn from the
dark mirey road that ye are wallow-
ing in, hunting for dollars and po-
litical power, that leads TO perdi-
ton, and turn square to the right
into the straight smooth road that
leads to peace and happiness, and
leave politics to wiser and better
men. Thereby We will be far hap
pier, die easier, and have cleaner
tickets to Heaven. ALOHA.

certain men, fat with riches, who
say that our text is not in the
authorized version, and therefore
not to be needed. We want no half

Joy themselves at will in their own

forget. First, that there was time
when they took pleasure in the re-
creative occupations dear to most
young people; and, second, that
their employees are now mostly at
that stage of life when it is natural
to crave for such amusements, and
therefore desire and ask for one

therein. Let us hope that these

A SHORT SERMON ON A LIVE
SUBJECT,


Our friend Lille suggests "ser-
mon' from "Old Hip on the text,
ga halliday week for baseball,
y achting, picnics, etc., is well earn
ed at the close of hard weeks
work by merchant, mechanic, and
clerk" Well, here goes.
The sentiment of our text is op-
posed by some people at the outset
with the argument that one days
rest in seven is sufficient, and there
fore an extra half day is super
fuous.
Here is q fundamental error,
which must be corrected. The text
does not ask for half-day's rest,
but for a half-day's recreation and
amusement. Sunday is a rest day,
not recreation day. The law is
against baseball, ETC., on that day,
so the base ball people who came
here few Sundays ago were in
formed. People are required to
rest on that day.
To be sure, the exertion of going
to church in the broiling sun is not
tabued. In fact, if man wishes TO
maintain reputation for respect
ability he had better do it. 1t is
net against the law to stay home,
but it tells against mans position
in society. If he is rich, never mind
but if he is poor, he cannot afford
it. Neither is forbidden on the
Sabbath the hardest of all hard
work to some people, viz: to lister
to a drawing discourse which may
embody a wearisome expression o
want of ideas, monotonous repeti
tion of the litany, or the ejaculation
of an extempore prayer in which th'
Lord is given the news of the week
This kind of work, we say, hart
and irlsome though it be, is no
against the law. Nor is it enjoine'
by the law, although if man woul,
be thought we'll of and enjoy tn
confidence of good people he ha'
better go to church twice on Sun
day and look as interested and de
vout as he knows how. Neverthe
less, if he so choose, and has tn
courage, he may stay at home ant
rest.
But the law and the opinion o
those who shape the destinies of tn
community. are both, particular.
the latter, dead against recreation
and amusement, such as baseball
ing, cricketing, target-shooting
etc., on Sunday. Let us obey tn
law and the prophets, and keep til
Sabbath in the orthodox manner
like good citizens and good Chris
tians.
But, dearly beloved brethren, a
we scanaot;desecrate the Sabbath b

MAGGIE MITCHELL's DOGS
Doing Democratic Campaign
Work In Indiana.

Work In Indiana.
Will Lykens, the manager of Maggie
Mitchell, is in state of frenzy, border
ing on madness. 1t seems that in the
play of ''Ray," anew drama which Miss
Mitchell will produce at the Grand
Opera house next Monday, two blood
hounds are used. The aforesaid blood
hounds chase villain metaphorically
up a tree and daily with the bosom
of the aforesaid villains trousers on the
green sward. The bloOdhounds were
originally given Lucy Hooper by the
Due d'Aumale, and she in turn pre-
scented them to Miss Mitchell last year
in Paris. The dogs were shipped to
Miss Mitchell's farm in Southern Con-
necticut and since then have been edu-
Gated for the "act" described. 1t seems
that the property man, who had received
intimatiOn to express them here, ran
across some golden rye, and while
under the beWildering influence
of this berry shipped them
by mistake to Indianapolis, Ind.
Manager Lykens received yesterday
a telegram from George Dickson, man
ager of the leading theaterS there, that he
had received the bloodhOundS, and that
they were being greatly admired by the
Democratic state central committee of
Indiana, who offered to enter into negO-
tiation for the dogs, to chose niger re-
pOrterS from Louisville out OF the
Southern tiers of counties. That Man
ager Lykens is out of joint can be read

CURRENT COMMENT.

Some people were at one time almost
inclined TO credit the assertions that
the old soldiers clubs constituted SIM
ply an uprising, regardless of former
political affiliations in favor of Harrison
and Morton, the head of the Republican
ticket, holding themselves aloof from
state and local politics. There has been
r change of base, or else the
real purpose of the organization
has been concealed, and the old soldiers
clubs are now plainly Republican from
q to lizard, or in other words from
president to dog catcher. The pilgrim
age Wednesday night to St. Paul to
ratify the nomination of the battle

governor, shows as much. Harrison

may be nominated for mayor, prospect

The questions of furnishing free text
books, as Well as free buildings and in
StructiOn for the school children, Is a
matter worthy of considerable thought
10y the board of education. The plan
has been tried in Boston and other
Eastern cities. and has been productive
OF great saving to parents
having children at school. The cost
of books is indeed serious
obstacle in the way of many a poor
youth or maiden, and is no incOnsider-
able item of expense 10 even the we'll
TODD. Books that are used but one
Term are laid aside, never to be used
again, when they are in fair state of
preservation, or nearly as good as
new. II they are the property. of
the schools a deposit can wIave against
loss, and a fair deduction can be made
for damage by usage, which Will
amount to a rental. At any rate, backs
can be purchased at wholesale East and
supplied to scholars at cost prices. This
much would be of at least some benefit.
The Exposition closes to-day, and
there will lie no strained effort on the
part of the management TO perpetrate

SPLENDID ATTENDANCE.

Twenty-Five thousand People
Present on the Second Mime
apOlis Day.
The desire of the directors that Second
Minneapolis day should have the largest
attendance of the Exposition was graft
field. In the vicinity of 25,-
600 people passed the turnstiles,
the crowd in the evening being too great
for comfort.
At 8 o'clock in the afternoon Prof.
Leroy made successful parachute
jump from the balcony of the tower.
The wind fortunately blew away from
the building, and his descent
to earth was accomplished grace
fully and quickly. The feat
was witnessed by large crowd. Leroy
also gave some exhibitions of his Won-
derful rope walking, both afternoon
and evening that were warmly APP
plauded. The DAM band rendered a
well selected programme OF popular
airs.
One of the finest features ever pre-
sented in an exposition, or in fact any
place of amusement, was the exhibition
given by Mr.. Malcolm's class in fancy
dancing in characteristic costumes in
the evening. There were fifty OF
the little people, representing IA
nous historic personages, Gypsies,
ETC.. all in correct costumes, and
the entertainment they furnished
was simply superb. In perfect time
they hoped to the music of Prof. Danz's
band, receiving the lOudest plauditS of
the immense audience. The perform
ance opened with a grand entree pre-
senting George and Martha Washing
ton, Gen. Smith and POcahontas and a
host of Gypsies, Hungarians, ETC.; and
then the wee dancers appeared Singly
and in pairs and by quartettes, giving
the dances of the different countries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Malcolm are to be con-
graduated upon the excellent work
done by their class.
