Those "Times" Spies.

1lOSe "lIIneS spies.
1t is a poor rule that does not work
both ways. Not only were the books
of the Irish Land and National
Leagues produced before the investi-
eating Judges, but Mr.. Parnell's
private check and account books were
also subjected to inquisition, OBJ
viously for the purpose of trying to
establish through them a financial
connection between the leader of the
Parliamentary party and the dyna-
mite or assassination conspiracies
growing out of the Irish National
movement.
Now the counsel for the Parnellites
demands the production of a list of
payments made by the Times to wit
nesses before the Commission. Mr..
Soames declined to furnish it. Then
the books of the Loyal and Patriotic
Union of England were called for, in
order to prove by them that the whole
Indictment contained in "Parnellism
and Crime" proceeded from the Loyal
and Patriotic Union, and that Pigott
was used by that powerful political
organization to concoct the plan.
1t is almost needless to- say that
their production was bitterly opposed
by counsel, while the Court refused to
order it. 1t only remains to the world
to conclude that some secret, utterly
~disgraceful and overwhelming to the
Tory side, is contained in the records
thus obstinately concealed.
No one shall be eligible to sit as a delegate VIII

This is wise. The political labor
agitator is the workingman's enemy.

that the water in question was the
most atrocious beverage in the world.
We are astonished that a truly good

THE more closely the Freeholders'
estimates are scanned, the more evil

Is a barefaced piece of impudence.
WHEN Charley Mitchell and
Champion Sullivan met after the
Kilrain fight the Boston ''slugger" ex-
pressed a desire to extend the courtes-
les of a twenty-four foot ring to the
gentleman from England, and prom
ised that in such a contingency he
would disfigure and dismember the
Britisher in short order.
"You had me there once" was the
retort. "Why didn't you do it thenYf
1t might strike the casual observer
that Sullivan could appropriately
borrow this reply and telegraph it to
Governor Lowry, of Mississippi
whose frantic offers of reward for the
return of the fighters make such
humorous reading after the battle
has been fought right under the
Governors nose.

IT has been suggested that one
great difficulty about locating the
proposed Exposition of 1892 in New
York would be that of finding a site
big enough and not yet encountered
with houses. We believe that north
of 155th street on the West side, if not
further down town, very suitable
tracts of ground can still be found.

A Public Reception OF the Young Men,

A public reception was rendered to
John R. King, the new general secretary
of the Y M. @. A., In West Presbyterian
Church, last night. The occasion merited
large audience but less than 200 per-
sons were present, and nearly half OF this
number were ladies' Charles Baird,
president of the association, presided,
and beside him ON the platform were
Revs. A. N. Keigwin, r, B. Cook, Moses
Heath Jacob Todd, w. l.. s. Murray
William d. Morris, general secretary of
Baltimore, and General Secretary John
r. King. After the devotional exercises
Howard Carver and Fred II. Besston sang
a duet.
President Baird introduced General
Secretary John r King, who made an
interesting address on the workings of
the Y. NJ G. A. He said there were | .070
associations now. The Y NJ G. A, is
not In opposition to the churches, but is
part Of them.
w. H. Morris, the Baltimore secretary
made on enthusiastic address on the great
| activity of the Young Mems Christian
Associations. There are five branches in
Baltimore The association is not only
for the young men who have the best
homes, but for all young men, a brother
hood. Mrs Julia Adair sang Lead us,
Heavenly Father,
Rev Jacob Todd, d. d., told several
amusing incidents TO prove that he had
| nothing to say. He then said something
showing the Y NJ. G. A. as It appears TO
the ministry blessing and an assistant
TO the church. He thought the Y. NJ. @.
A. was not intended as an elegant club,
where members could 60 and kill time
there was already a snrfeit Of clubs the
only clubs that lacked were policemen's 5
clubs
Mr. King sang the song, "Throw Out
the Life Line by request. He has a
rich tenor voice well under command, and
his singing was listened to with rapt
attention
Hon. Charles b. Lore made brief
address, comparing the Y. NJ. G. A. to q
monopoly, which brings forces to a mass
in effecting a purpose. He thought If
the young men could transform the
Ebbitt House from bar room TO Chris
tian building they ought TO be just as
successful in moral and spiritual war

benediction, pronounced by Rev. w. l..

LAUNCH OF THE INDIAN.
She Giides Gracefully From the Harlan
and Hollingsworth Ways.

The Winsor Line steamship Indian was
launched from the ways of the Harlan
and Hollingsworth Company in this city
yesterday afternoon. 1t was the first
event of the kind the EVENING JOURNAL 8
new marine reporter had ever witnessed, /,
and here is his description of it
tAnother name is added to the long
list of floating conquerors Of time and
distance that have been constructed by
the Harlan and Hollingsworth Company
Of this city.
''The Winsor Line steamship Indian
was launched yesterday afternoon at 3. 22
o'clock by the driving Of wedges, knock
ing away Of shores and finally the saving
asunder of the strong pieces that held
her securely to the foundations where
she had been builded, allowed to glide
gracefully into her own element.
CAS- the huge pile of iron started she
literally acted like thing OF life, seem
ing to be elated by the knowledge that
she could move. She shook herself as
she touched the water, and acted as ii
she would bury herself under what had
been its placid bosom; but still contin-
uing on her course she shook herself
proudly and was stopped by the southern
bank of the Christiana
'tAnother successful launch, said
every one Isn't she a beautyF said an
old salt. member of the crew of the
yacht Alma, and every one of the several
hundred spectators present agreed with
| the tar. She is verify beauty.
THE citizens Of Wilmington were
almost as proud of the gallant ship as
her builders and owners were. As she
hoated you could imagine almost that
you could see a look of defiance and con-
scious power about her prov.
"Ihis ship is the third ship built foi
/ the Winsor Line, the other two being
| the Spartan and Parthian.
1.-The Indian is duplicate ship of the
| Parthian and will run on the line between
Philadelphia and Boston. Captain Nick

/ Parthian, will command the Indian anc
it is thought that she will be ready to &c
on the line by February 10.
"The Indian is PAT feet long by 38 fee

win Hereafter Distribute Street and
Sewer Department Checks.
City Treasurer R.. r. Griffith will here
after distribute all checks Of bills owed
by the Street and Sewer Department.
Secretary T. Leslie Carpenter turned over
all uncalled for checks to the City Treas
urer yesterday.
Formerly when bills were passed by
the street and Sewer directors, the sec.
retary made them out and President J..
l.. Carpenter, Jr.. signed them. They
were then sent to the auditors Office, and
If they were correct, were signed by John
M. Newell. City Treasurer Griffith then
received them, took account of and signed
them. They were sent back to the de-
partment for distribution BY the pres.
ent plan, they are not sent back. and
Secretary Carpenter is released from the
labor Of distribution.
The new plan, however, does not
govern checks for rebates of money de-
posted for permission to open beds OF
streets, which checks are signed aud dis
tributed only by Secretary Carpenter. =. -
Ever since the departments was created
all checks were distributed by it, but Mr.
Griffith having consulted City Solicitor
Turner learned that he was responsible
for the receipts and he therefore decided
10 conduct it in that manner.

Last evening while two ladies were
walking along Walnut street above Fifth,
which is, by the way, very dark place,
a creature supposed to be man, who
was riding bicycle, but with about as
much true manliness about him as a
baboon. ran violently into them. He re-
covered his equilibrium quickly aud pro.
ceeded on his way without stopping to
inquire If the ladies were hurt, or To
apologize for his criminal carelessness. A
hob-nailed shoe with vigorous leg and
body behind it is the proper treatment
for such offenses as the above.
