THE REV. BALLS GALL.

During the last presidential cam
paign, the Rev. George H. Ball OF
Buffalo busted himself a good deal
about Mr.. Cleveland's moral charac.
ter, and especially that part of it per-
tanning to certain escapades OF sort
that lively, and occasionally indiscreet
young men, are said to indulge in.
The New York Evening Post, at
once, took issue with the Rev. gentle
man and denounced him as "cleri-
cal liar"
or course the clergyman sued the
Post for libel.
As the case is about TO be reached
for trial, Mr.. Ball is getting his evil
dence in shape, and among other "im-
portant Witnesses" so he alleges, is
Mr.. Cleveland himself; he therefore
"prays the court to order Grover
Cleveland to appear and answer, under
oath, as to his moral rectitude pre-
vious to his election"
Judge Lewis, to whom the petition
was presented, has declined to issue
the order, and the case will have to be
tried without the sensation that the
presence OF the president of the United
States would undoubtedly create.
1t strikes US, that the Rev. Mr.. Ball
has got the wrong name; it should be
the Rev. Mr.. Gall.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The democrats OF Spokane county
are on the run. They see defeat
staring them straight in the face-de-
feat for their whole county ticket,
from top TO bottom. The republican
county ticket has never been in dan.
ger, from the very day it was placed in
the field. The convention that made it
was composed of the best republicans
in the county, representative men
who wisely foresaw that all that was
necessary to insure victory was to
place upon the ticket men OF unexcep-
tional character, men OF unquestioneG
integrity, men entirely capable to
transact the public business, men in
accord with the principals of their
party. The convention not only did
that, but went beyond it, and gave us
a capital ticket, ticket far above the
average, ticket that every republican
in the county can and will support
with pleasure, ticket that will be
elected from top TO bottom, from the
candidates for the legislature to the
candidates for county commissioners.
A united republican party confronts
the democracy of Spokane county
with harmonious ticket, a ticket
composed of men who are pulling to-
gether, who have done no bushwhack-
ing, no night riding, no separate and
selfish campaigning. From first to
last, the republican battle cry has
been, the ticket, the whole ticket and
nothing but the ticket. The good re-
suits of this patriotic course are ap-
parent in the decentralization OF the
democracy; apparent also, in the
ranks OF the republicans as they enter
the home stretch, with color bearers
touching elbows, and a united party
pressing forward 10 victory.

"L'AMANTE DU CHRISTI"

The world is familiar with the pas
sion play, produced once every ten
years at Oberammergua.
Thousands flock to witness its pre-
sentation and see nothing to lessen
their reverence for the Master, as rep
resented by the famous German actor
Meyer, and hear nothing that has a
tendency to degrade religion to the
level of life, much less OF lust.
Some years ago an attempt was made
in this country to initiate the play,
as presented in Germany, but owing
partly to the inferiority OF the actor,
that sustained the character OF Christ
and mainly to popular prejudice
against such representation, the VEN
ture was abandoned for want OF pat
ronage.
Paris--the most sensational OF cities
is now witnessing nightly a similar
performance, but il we are to judge
the play by the following account of it
sent by commercial cable to the New
York Herald, the sooner it is removed
from the boards the better for Paris
and the world:
"L'Amante du Christ, "a one-act mys-
terry in verse, by M. Rodolphine Darzens,
was produced last night by the Theatre
Libre company, at the little Menus
| Plaisirs.
The play is one of the most daring
pieces of realism ever put on the French
stage. The Saviour appears in flesh and
blood, with long, Haxen locks flowing over
his shoulders and attired in snow-white
raiment.
The part is excellently acted by M.
Mevisto, and the divine words which
fell from the lips of this Menus.Plaisirs
Saviour were heard by all present men,
women, journalists and boulevardiers--
with profound respect and emotion.
At times the sensation was painful. M.
Mevisto had the tact to conceal himself
and decline to ackno Wedge the vociferous
applause which was accorded him at the
! end of the play, thereby. leaving the
audience under the mystic impression he
had created.

All question about Indiana is ended.
General Harrison's speech at the
republican workingmen's demonstra-
ton, at indianapolis, settles beyond
doubt the vote Of that state in favor Of
the republican party. The country
will also note, with pleasure, that Gen
eral Harrison is not only finished

he also possesses that other quality
dear to every American heart-pluck.
He deals sledge-hammer blows,
straight from the shoulder, planting
every lick upon the weakest tpot of his
adversary's armor.
We doubt whether the English Ian
guage could be employed more effect
lively than in the following sentences,
uttered by General Harrison on that
occasion:

FREEDOMS GLORIOUS CAUSE.

Pope Leo has sent 100000 to the
African anti-slavery fund, accompany
ing his gift by letter praising and
encouraging the crusade for freedom
and inviting the cooperation of Eu-
rope in the great work. The plan OF
Cardinal Lavigeorie, who is at the
head of the movement, is not confined
to saving the souls of heathen Afri-
cans, but includes the raising of vol
unteer corps, which is to fieht the
slave. traders of the Dark continent
with carnal weapons. Already score
of chivalrous young Belgians have
volunteered, and doubtless many more
will ioin this new salvation army, in
which powder will replace, for the
time at least, piety, and singing give
way to sabres.
This act of munifcence places the
pope in the front rank Of the worlds
philanthropists, and, what is more and
what is better, indicates that the SYM
psthy Of this most powerful of men is
on the side OF liberty. When Leo
chooses to forget the loss OF his tenn
poral power and the politics OF the
times, and to remember only "thst
my kingdom is not Of this world" no
monarch is his superior in those
princely qualities that constitute
greatness, no statesman takes q
broader view OF the humanities, no
philsnthropist excels his munificent
generosity.
That was bright day in our coun-
try's history when the sun of freedom
rose over all her borders for the first
time, but what language can express

said in truth and in fact: "The soil Of

OUR TERRITORY AND THE KEPUB
IICAN PARTY.

The origin of the republican party
was due to great question that al
fected solely the territories OF the
Unites States.
The democratic party had decreed
chat every foot OF land, in Washington
territory, should become the properly
OF slave owners, TO be worked by slaves.
The old whig party, lacking courage
TO resist this onslaught upon the
rights of freemen, went to pieces by
the sheer force of its own cowardice'
and, under the cry of "free soil and
free men" the republican party was
formed.
To maintain the proposition
that the soil OF this territory should
never be worked by slave labor, Abra-
ham Lincoln was elected president OF
the United States, the war was fought,
and all the great energies OF great
people employed for ten long years.
Having, by the most heroic struggle
known in the history of parties at
tanned possession OF this territory
and of all the territories-the republi-
can party invited the free labor of the
country To possess it, by enacting wise
and liberal homestead laws, whereby
homes were had for the asking. and by
aiding in the construction OF great
continental lines of railway, whereby
transportation TO those homes was pro-
vided for all who cared to come and
occupy them.
Having saved the Territory of Wash
ington from slavery, and peopled it
with citizenship that illustrates
American manhood at its bravest and
best, it is not TO be wondered at that
the republicans should continue to the
last the steadfast friend of the territory,
ever ready and eager to welcome it to
the Union, ever willing and anxious
to provide the necessary legislation to
bring about that glorious event.
This is the record OF the attitude OF
the republican party toward Washing
ton territory from the day it was
formed until this day.
The former slave owes much to the
republican party, but his debt OF
gratitude is not so great as that CT the
freemen, who inhabit the territories
of the United States. The slave owes
his release from physical bonds to that
party, but the freemen of the terrific
ries owe to it their salvation from a
fate worse than slavery-the fate of a
pauper peasantry competing for bread
with slave labor; a fate that any intel
ligent negro at the South will tell you
is worse than the fate OF slave.
How will these Washington terri
tory freemen repay this debt of graft
tude next Tuesday? When they re.
member that it is due to the republi.
can party that the civilization of the
great Pacific Northwest exists, at all,
with which party will they unite at
the polls?

wAsHINGTON TERRITORY.

Free wool, free lumber and free
trade have cooked Mr.. Voorhees, goose
very effectually in this territory. The
managers Of his party have given up
all hope of his election and abandoned

tive ticket. Meanwhile Mr.. Voorhees,
continues TO founder and flop around
in the most ludicrous manner.

LINGO KNEW HIS MAN.

The life OF Lincoln by his private
secretaries, appearing in the Century,
shows him to have been we'll versed in
he art of war.
The more we learn OF Mr.. Lincoln,
the greater is our astonishment at the
variety of his attainments. His char
acter loses nothing either by investi-
CATION or by comparison.
The public will recall their aston
ishment at discovering that Mr..
Lincoln drafted, with his own hand,
the ultimatum of the United States
in the Mason-Slidell affair, all the
credit for that astute state paper having
previously been accorded to Governor
Seward.
Mr.. Lincoln made no mistake dur
ing the entire war, in his dealings
either with the Confederacy, his own
people or foreign powers.
He came out on top every time,
although he had one very narrow
escape.
In September, 1862, he issued a
proclamation declaring that he would,
at the end of ninety days, publish an
emancipation proclamation, applicable
to all states that did not within that
time return to the union; a kind Of
preliminary emancipation proclama-
ton.
Suppose there had been at that
time, at the head of the Confederate
government, a man Of Lincoln's wis
dom, man who, foreseeing the in
evitable, had declared: "Mr. Lincoln,
we take you at your word. We sur
render to save slavery" 1t is
difficult to determine the effect
OF such course, on the part of the
president of the Confederacy, but it is
safe to say it would have ruined Mr..
Lincoln.
A large number OF northern voters,
probably majority, would have
backed Jefferson Davis in an attempt
to hold Mr.. Lincoln to his bargain, but
what would the soldiers haye done;
what would the Greeleys and Beechers
and Garrisons have done, had the at
tempt, at that stage of the game, been
made to stock the cards in favor of the
slave oligarchy?
Mr. Lincoln knew his man. He
knew that Davis was actuated less by
a desire to save slavery than by de-
sire to perpetuate his own power. This
proved to be true, later in the war,
when Davis advised the confederate
congress to free the slaves and make
soldiers of them. Mr.. Lincoln, while
appearing to run a great risk, risk
that seemed to imperil the Union, was
in fact skirmishing for position. Hav.
ing made the offer, be was in condition
to 60 ahead and free the slave as soon
as it was rejected.
