for his kind treatment Of the negro race The
teachings of the Catholic faith" he said, ''are
that the children of the church should be ODE

Ole church, recognizing in them powerful
element In the progress and prosperity of our
country. Il am fully convinced" he con-
cluded, that good religionists. who take an
interest in the welfare OF the nation, are a pow

good government and l will take pleasure in
taking the delegates to the colored Catholic
convention by their hands"

employed by other Free-Trade Or

New York San about the determine

Democratic party if Cleveland's Free
Traders are not embodied in the

Free Traders Dics2sing to the Demo
cratic Parry.

We have the authority Of the New
York Sat9o for the statement that
some Of the leading Free Trade
spirits in the Democratic party are
threatening that if their views on the
Tariff are not adopted they and
their followers will secede and form
a new party that will stand on a
platform which will reflect the views
embodied in Mr.. Cleveland's famous
Free-Trade message. This threat is
expected to have the effect of whip
ping into the Free-Trade traces
Democrats who may hesitate about
going to the lengths that the Free
Traders want them to 90.
Indeed the Free-trade element in
the Democratic party make no dis
guise of their intention to carry out
the policy Of "rule or ruin" They
declare that Mr.. Cleveland during
his Administration gave the party a
programme in regard to Free-Trade
that it must adhered to. The Free.
Trade press do not mince matters.
1t cells the rank and file Of the
Democratic party that they must
not entertain the thought of reced-
ing from the Free-Trade position in
to which they were forced by Mr..
Cleveland's Message.
The New York Times, speaking
for the Free-Traders, says that "But
for the message in which he ECleve-
landl courageously grappled with 81
question which his predecessors in
the Democratic leadership had per-
s:stently shirEed, when it came to
the point of proposing practical
action, the Mills bill would not have
been produced and the campaiga
would have been fought Oh differ
ent issue altogether" Having re-
counted the sort of ''service" Mr..
Cleveland rendered the political
organization that had honored him
far beyond his deserts, the Free
Trade organ from which we quote
proceeds TO state that the author of
She Free-Trade message is still a
great favorite, and that as to the
Free-Trade programme Nobody
who adopted it during the campaign,
even among those who adopted it
esluotantly, has shown the slightest

Outrageous Work by u hand of
White Cap EsyafftaEs.

ST. LOUIS, July 2G.-The follow-
ing information comes from Gillespie,
Illinois: While Henry Bokamp and
his wife were riding near that town
last Monday evening they were
taken from their buggy by an armed
band of White Caps, who took
shameful liberties with the woman
and strung Bokamp up to tree
three times, the last hanging prov
ing so near fatal that he could only
be revived by the administration OF
medicine. They then left
The reason OF the outrage is said
to have been mere suspicion that
Bokamp had committed petit larceny.
The case has been put IN the hands
of Colonel Oller, q criminal lawyer
of Litchield, who says that while
at Gillespie yesterday looking into
the affair, he was warned by man
who claimed to be the Captain of the
White Caps, that if he came noisine
around there he would get thicker
rope than the one they gave to
Bokamp. The Colonel says he will
prosecute the perpetrators to the
extent of the law.

Forged Checks.

/ On Tuesday afternoon last I. Z.

Bank of this city inquiring if Peter
Hoetit had any money to his credit.
The First National Bank folks informed
Mr.. Philleo that they did not answer
such questions, but upon being informed
that the person in question was passing
checks believed to be forgeries, they
informed Mr.. Philleo that the name of
Peter Hoetit was not on their books
Mr.. Philleo also inquired the style of
Boynton & Atwell's signature and if
they had received check Of $500 sent
here for collection. The check had not
been received, but was found in the
afternoon mail and was at once pro-
nounced forgery and Mr.. Philleo was
so notified. Hoettt was arrested and
placed in jail at Grand Rapids, where
he will have an opportunity, between
now and the time his trial comes on, to
improve his penmanship. On Wednes-
day morning the First National received
check of $62, signed Boynton 4

from the Second Ward Saving Bank
of Milwaukee, the check having been
endorsed by four parties, among the
number the Phi. Best Brewing Co. 1t
is thought that this was the only check

The weather as usual was not very

was light, there being but little interest

Marshal. Messrs. Andrew Turnbull
and \. L. Compton were very friendly
in their contest for the marshalship and
waged a pleasant warfare which resulted
in favor of Mr.. Turnbull by 81 majority.
Mr. B. F. Runyan was an an active
candidate for assessor against D. W.
Compton which resulted in favor of Mr.
Compton by 1873 majority. we hope no
bad feelings were engendered by any of
the local contests and that now election
is over everything will move on in its
regular routine until election comes
around again. The vote in the different
wards were as follows:

SOMETIME.

Sometime, when all hfe's lessons have been
learned,
And sun and stars forevermore have SET,
The things which our weak judgements here
have spUrnetl-
The things eer which we griered with lashes
wet
WIN fash before US, out Of LIES dark night
And we shall see how all Gods plans were
right,
And how what seemed reproof, was love most
true.
And we shall see, how, while We frown and
sigh
Gods plans go on as best for you and me:
How, when We called he needed not our cry.
Because his wisdom to the end could see,
And even "a prudent parents Gisaf0w
Too much Of sweet TO craving habyhood,
So GOD, perhaps, IS keeping from Us now,
Llfe's sweetest things, because 1t seemeth
good.
And If, sometimes comminglcd with LIES
wine,
We find the NORWOOD, and rebel and shrink.
BE sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink,
And If some friend we love is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
On do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace.
And you shall shortly know that heightened
breath,
Is not the sweetest gift Cod sends his friend,
And that, sometimes, the sable pail of death1
Conceals the fairest boon his love can send
If we could push aiar the gates of life.
And stand within and all Gods working see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife
And for each mystery could find key.
But not to-day; then be content, poor heart,
God plans like lilies, pure and white unfold,
We must not tear the close shut leaves apart,
Time Will reveal the calyxes of gold
And If, through patient toll, we reach the
land
Where tired feet with sandals loose may rest.
When we shall clearly know and understand,
think that we will say, God knew the best"
