MYsTEKIuUs DROPS.

The TASCoTT at Philadelphia the past
week was one of the most obdurate in
his enforced pose, but he joined the
procession that has been swelling now
for nearly two years. In that time few
localities of note have not had some
kind of a TAScoTT, but the one APP
praised at S50.000 at Chicago. the only
one of any value, has miserably failed
10 give any needy seeker a chance for
the reward. His picture is found in
every police gallery in the land. and
probably in most of those in foreign
countries. Thousands of the public
prints have also made his cOuntenance
familiar to the people, and the stimu-
liant OF an immense reward has induced
unusual vigilance in the eager search.
1t is pretty certain that TAscoTT
was in st. Paul after the muir
der in Chicago. but his sojourn
since is as uncertain as the
location of the stolen body of STEWART,
or the disposition of CHARLEY Ross. 1t
is not believed TAScorT is dead. 1t is
difficult for man TO die without being
known. The CRoNIN case shows that
the most ingenious and secure devices
have cracks revealed in them. But as
a mysterious disappearance TAsCoTT is
proving a wearisOme success. Still,
there is not much Singularity about the
case. There are thousands of cases
where parties have eluded all eyes.
Those BENDER women now being taken
TO trial, if they are genuine. have been
a good while coming To light Most
every one can recall in the circle or per-
sOnal knowledge some disappearance
that has continued an insoiuble mys-
terry. Some ten or twelve wears ago
wealthy banker. all old citizen of high
note in Southern Illinois. who has rela-
tives living in St. Paul, took a passen-
ger train in st. Louis for his home.
At the first stop. mile ana half
away, only his gOld-headed cane and
hand trunk were found in the ear, and
a search by detectives for years failed
to find the slightest clue to his disap-
pearanee. Foul work was presumed.
in politics, too, mysterious disappear
ances are frequent and suggestive.
They do not often take class with the
TAsCoTTs and Ross, for trail can usu-
ally be followed to cemetery of some
obScurity that is peculiarly befitting.
If it had been the fashion of the papers
to publish cuts of public men as now
twenty-five years ago, and all album
had been filed with the statesmen of
any locality, it would be difficult to rec
ognize many of them now. Take BRIs-
sTowE-who remembers that he came
near being nominated for president in
place of HAYES in 1ST6-and can any
one tell where or when he disappeared?
Had HAYES been, left then, would any
one remember the bubble where he
went down? Who has heard of the
once Ioud-caekling Corporal TANNER
since it was given out that something
equally good would promote his subsi-
dence?

PROHIBITION IN IOWA.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette is having
spirited controversy with one of the
presiding elders of the Methodist church
over the practical phase of prohibition in
Iowa. The jealous clerical affeetionately
rebukeS the editOr.a as staunch friend of
temperance and Republican, for ques-
tiOning the efficacy of the policy Of that
state. The Gazette deals in cold facts
and official figures, and shows conclu-
sively that prohibition is failure in
Iowa, except in the smaller communi-
ties, where the local sentiment is over
whelming for restraint. In a trial re-
ferred to over a glass of cider, the fifty
witnesses nearly all committed perjury,
as the Judge stated. This is the educa-
tional fact IN most of the liquor trials.
1t is demoralizing. The young men are
trained to become sneaks, also. Peni-
Tertiary statistics are given to show that
the claim that crime is growing
infrequent in that state is the
DRY, and not condition. Where
there is decrease, it is in the classes
of minor offenses not attributed to in
temperance. The penitentiary books
show the curious fact that the two
years before the prohibition law a ma
jOrity of seyenty-one of the convicts
had been Incorporate, while the first
two years Of the law majority of sew
enty of them were temperate. The
point is suggestive. The editor allows
the preacher to share mutual glow
over the statement that while about all
other callings are represented, neither
of them has a professional brother in
the state workshop. Still, he notes that
about One-fourth of the eOnviets credit
their religious education to the school
of the elder. The editor has this frank
statement of the position of his political
party:
ibid not the Republican party resolve
to try prohibition because driven to it?
Do you honestly believe the managers
of the Republican party are at heart
prohibitionists. and do they talk about
it in their platforms from principle. or
from force? Are you not standing be-
hind them with a stuffed club, crying,
Resolve or de- and do they not re-
solve and then run off to get drink?'

let Us settle on the basis Of sl52, 900.
Your father and father-in-law must
help In the balance"
In conclusion Mr.. Koon spoke Of the
alleged confession OF Mr.. COLON. He
said that tho defendant had turned
over to Mr.. Biaisdell's son-in-law
all the property he had In the
world and was thus reduced to
poverty: that he never knew that there
was any claim that the said indorse-
ments were forgeries until he came
down to the Office of Davis IL Farnham
on the afternoon of Aug. 6, when he
met Mr.. Anderson Ia the outer Office.
who told him of 1t, and said that there
was an expert in that Office then exam
lining them, and suggested that the best
thing to do was to let them go along
on the forgery line until settle
ment could be effected; that he was
then suddenly ushered into the pres
ence of Mr. Davis and others and, with
out realizing fully what he was doing,
had perhaps said that Mr.. Blaisdelrs
Endorsements on the note were not
genuine.
Judge Koon drew a touching picture
of the scene at Mr.. Collom's house on
the Sunday before this affair when MIR.
COLON had informed his wife, who had
just returned from visit to friends,
that they were bankrupt and financially
ruined
Speaking of tho alleged confession.
he claimed that il was not of character
that should commit any man; that the
records were full of cases where ac-
cused persons had made confessions
which had no foundation whatever.
Finally he said that the defense, in
spite of the admis sion of the state made
in the opening, would introduce wit
nesses to show that Mr.. COLON was a
man of such integrity and character
that he was incapable Of committing the
crime with which he was charged.
Judge Rooms address was admirable
in tone and delivery. 1t was clear, con-
else and methodical, and could not fail
to make good impression.
AT its conclusion the court adjourned
until 10 o'clock this morning. when the
testimony for the defense will be CON-
menced.

A RELIGIOUS BRAwLER.

Kansas has speck of war, as report
ed in the recent dispatches, in the re-
Iigious line, requiring the calling out of
the militia. 1t is good while since
much has been heard of the instigator
of this disturbance, Rev. J. G.. WHITE.
In the earlier times he had his head
quarters at jacksonville, ILL.,, and made
it his speciality to deliver sensational
and riot-breeding harangues against the
Catholic church. He claimed to make
startling disclosures, and his main OBJ
ject was to foment riots, have his meet
ings broken up and an opportunity af-
forded him to pose as a martyr. In
majority of the towns the parties as
sailed acted in the highest Christian
spirit, and repressed any indignant feel
ings excited. This was disappointing
and discouraging to WHITE, and he
would become still more exasperating.
If he could provoke an outbreak
it made capital for him, and
was utilized. He could parade
as a martyr to free speech and religious
intolerance. 1t was wrong. of course,
for any of the seandalized religionists
to display their evaporation in the way
they sometimes did. Every braMIer on

NOT QUITE DIPLOMATIC.

Secretary NOBLE has been spoken of
by FORAKER as adiscOvery or collegiate
Renaissance, but he retaliated on TAN
NER by calling him back number. He
has also had controversy with pen
sion agent in Maine, and there is vigor
and undiplomatic plainness in the recip-
rocation of personal estimates. The
secretary says to the agent, 'You are
both a slanderer and wholly unfit for
the service OF the United States" The
agent replies, II feel free to say you
are a puppet, personally, and officially
sycophant and lickspittle." Ii the cor
respondence keeps on, there seems to
be danger that it will become Extensively
personal. There are probably rare
presidents in the history of cabinets for
conducting official exchanges of infor-
nation on this basis. Some may look
at it as not suggestive of dignity or
craftsmanship, but it must be admitted
to be piquant and pointed.

the platform or pulpit must be pro-
tected while disturbing the peace. But
this man WHITE lost about all the SYM
patty he had among those whose relig-
ious prejudices he stimulated, and be-
came back number where he was
known. as Secretary NOBLE would say.
His objects were understood. and his
blood-curdhng exposures were voted the
fakes of pestifer0us nuisance. He
seems now to have drifted out to new
fields in Kansas. where there are classes
of people who are ready to catch on to
whatever is fantastic in politics or relig-
ion. WHITE is about half-century out
of date, and should have no eounte-
nance with considerable people any
where.

A MATTER OF TASTE.

Some interest was excited In the case
of Rev. CHARLES MCLEAN, Presby-
terrain preacher at Pembina. who was
presented at the North Dakota synod,
held at Fargo. with the charge of "fos-
tering ideas on the temperance ques-
ton not in accordance with those laid
down by the Presbyterian denomina-
ton" 1t seems that the gentleman
had in the late campaign not only OPP
posed prohibition, but been active and
voluble, even writing a document fer
circulation on the subject. The de-
cision of the matter appears to have
been left with the presbytery of the
Pembina district, that met last week.
The final decision of that body was to
the effect that. while there was general
disagreement with him and some abra-
sion of the delivery of the general
assembly, his right 10 his opinions was
recognized, and he was only ceusured
because he had so persistently obtruded
them upon the public as to force dis
chalmers from his brethren, and compel
them to show that there was lack OF
mutually among the spiritual shep-
herds of the flock. 1t was a matter of
taste and courtesy. and not principle,
that was involved. 1t was not so stated,
but the Inference is natural that the OBJ
legations of taste and Christian courtesy
would be equally restrictive upon them
in advocating prohibition. They should
not annoy MIR. MCLEAN and those who
hold his convictions. The tolerance
and liberality of this religious body has
not been uniform with clerical convOca-
lions, and is to be commended. There
is all advance toward the solution of the
temperance problem when the right of
the individual conscience is put above
the deliveries of ecclesiastical bodies.
Men with white cravatS NAV think for
themselves on matters pertaining to the
social status.

MOTIONS SALOON,

In connection with the hotel owned
by Vice President MORTON in WASH
ington is one of the most gorgeous tenn
Piles of Bacchus in the capital, but he
has some difficulty in procuring a
license, as the property owners in the
vicinity have voice in the matter.
This saloon promises to rival the big
store in Philadelphia in securing free
advertising. In ameeting at Boston the
other day, ex-Gov. ST. JOHN, of Kansas,
did the hysterie act over it, and the w.
e. I. u. of Philadelphia and Baltimore
have denounced MORTON, and the good
ladies all over the country will no doubt
add their voices. WANAMAKER Is
shocked. and the president has not given
it any official recognition. MORTON is
reported to be moving on with lately
and majestic step toward the attainment
of the license, regardless of the elamor
of the unappreciative Of both sexes. Ii
it can be made the official dispensary of
the party, it should be able to contrib
ute freely to the funds for the promo
ton of Republican reform.

The poor prohibs are now arrangin z
to compel their regularly elected Repub-

expenditure of money, to pass laws to
enforce the prohibition law, and in con-
junction with the woman'S rights ele-
ment to have that ism engrafted in ON
constitution. Evidently the isms live on
husks. The manner in which the lead
ers of these isms trot along after the old
g. O. D. and are living on husks is GER
tainly remarkable in the average Da-
kOta ruStler.
