pearanee of harmony where there was
no harmony. he thoughtit perfectly iegit-
innate to resort to the same trick in this
instance. But those South American fel-
lows, although little backward in their
civilization. have been brought up under
the instruction that truth is mighty and
must prevail. 1t is one of their effete
customs to hold lying In adherence,
and no amount of our court etiquette
can re-educate them on this point. They
hold that it is parliamentary to speak
the truth. the whole truth, and nothing
else but the truth; and by insisting upon
this usage of South American parlia-
mentarv law, Senior QUINTANA has sue
ceeded in putting Mr.. BLAINE into the
nine hole. He asked that the journal
be amended so as to make it consistent
with the facts. and it was not in Mr..
FL AINE'S power TO prevent it. The in
cident is valuable, in that it suggests
that, with all our North American prog
resS, we are behind our South Amerl-
can brethren in the most essential prin-
ciple of anhOOd-lOyalty to truth.

The Mysterious stranger.

Chicago Tribune.
The sun was just rising. Its rays lit
up the distant bluffs on the Kentucky
side of the Father Of Waters yeIlowest
son and strOve in vain to pierce the
dense and mephitic cloud that hung like
pail over the Buckeye metropolis. A
stranger alighted from a railway train
that had successfully penetrated the ia
odorS, each one worse than the others,
that had to he passed through before
reaching the station. He appeared I'M
injured, but wore a tired look and
long linen buster. In his hand he car
ried a sharp, wedge-Sh lped valise. Dis
daining the spontaneous reception
heartily accorded to him by the hackmen
and other brigandS that infested the vi
cinity,he strobe up town with the general
external appearance of man who had
public duty to- perform and was going
TO do it if the world came to an end the
next minute after. Excited. determined
and StrOng-lunged, that man stood erect
in a large hall few hours later and
looked fearleSsly around at the bare
walls and empty benches. In loud.
imperiOus. commanding voice that
echoed and re-echoed in the lonely
building he spoke of the deadly perilS
that menaced the country. In accents
of whitening scorn he asked how much
longer this nation could exist, or ought
to exist. unless it needed his solemn
warning. There was no reply. There
was nobody present to hear or to an
swer. In the busy city outside the tide
of commerce ebbed and flowed, and the
nation continued to rush reckIessly on
to destruction. 1t was not his fault.
He had done his duty. He read series
of ringing resolutions. declared the
meeting adjourned, and came out of the
hall with the PARKWAY look that patriot
wears who has done his best to save an
ungrateful country that doesn't want to
be saved.
He was the Greenback party of the
United States holding national con-
ference meeting.

ANTICIPATING THE CENsrs.

1t is not improbable that the presi-
dent allows limitations of points he
cOntemplateS IN his message to get out
in advance, in order to decide how the
public will accept them, and whether it
is polite to advance them. 1t is init
mated now that he will endeavOr to ex-
plain to congress how the assured cap
ture of that body next year by the Dem
Gratis can be averted. The scheme is to
form hasty computation of the popu-
lation of the states from the census next
June, and revise the ratio of congress
sional representation in season for the
elections next November. This would
be manly guesswOrk, and altogether
a novel, as well as well as desperate
expedient. But. il it will cut down the
Democratic representation, and save the
g. o. p. from disaster, is it not the duty
of the loyal and servile to come to its
support? But the practical difficulties
in its way may lead the president to
erase the proposition.

bonds to the amount of $4,000 for the
construction of what is termed the

plated to connect with the Kansas City

ST. Louis Abduction Case.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 19.-There were ad-
ditional sensational developments in
the Alice Jackman abduction case to-
night. A reporter traced the missing
sixteen-year-old heiress to the House of
the Good Shepherd. and upon application
for an interview with the girl, was in
formed by the mother superior that she
could not be seen except upon written
order from her guardian or from
his son-in-law. Mr.. Sphinx. The
fact that the whereabouts of
Miss Jackman had been ascertained
must have reached the ears of the
parties who had placed her in the House
of the Good Shepherd, for tonight
closed carriage was driven up to that
institution and all elderly gentleman,
with his face muffled up, lady
and young man about twenty-five,
emerged from the carriage, entered
the house, returned accompanied
by Miss Jackman, re-entered the car
riage and were rapidly driven away.
From the description of the parties and
the direction taken by the carriage, the
identity of the alleged abductors of the
girl is pretty we'll established, and some
still more sensational developments are
looked for tomorrow.

You are more private than you are in

POSSIBLY the heaviest verdict ever
rendered against railroad corporation
in damage suit was the one returned
by the jury last evening in the case of
HALL against the Burlington road. 1t
seems sort of travesty on justice that
the law should limit damages for the
destruction of human life to $1,000.
and yet person who has only been
manned can recover $4,000. 1t does
seem that human life ought to be worth
as much as human limbs.
