The young men Of Ravenna, o., are vic
Tins of the pernicious habit Of flirting,
bearing in this respect, indeed, a striking
resemblance To the young men of other
places. Beholding a female figure on the
streets the other evening, they at C
made advances with a view To the c~ultiva-
ton of its society, whcreupon the female
figure gathered up its skirts n ran down
the street like n deer. Amazed at this
singular spectacle, the young men gave
chase and overhauled the fugitive, who
proved to be n bold. bad man, in short a
burglar. This ease will probably he often
cited as proof of the practical benefits
of flirting, but il is very rare nevertheless
that young mel catch on with such favor-
able results.

Again has the American eagle
clutched the British lion by the tail,
and, swinging the savage beast around
in the air, dashed his head against the
barn door of Liberty. Mr.. Petit, the
champion of the United States, has
beaten Mr.. saunders, the champion of
Great Britain, ut the noble game of
lawn tennis. America is justly Ell.
titled to a racket in celebration of the
event.

There is no need Of worrying over the
silver question ifthe reports about cx-Sen-
ator Tom Bowen's Colorado gold mine
are true. A ''solid streak of gold one
inch thick and the vein growing richer
with every foot of tunneling"-is the
startling discovery announced TO have
been made in the Golconda property. If
there is such a streak Of gold il will opcr-
ate like a streak of lightning in Wall
street one of these days, and with the
market gluttcd with gold bullion, the adj
vocates Of the free coinage of silver will
have everything their own way. Tho only
fault one has To find with the report Is in
the size of the streak OF gold. IL would
have bcen more satisfactory IL the inventor
had kindly made il a foot thick, instead Of
n miserable inch.

The case Of Robert Ross, a Cincinnati
brakeman, will revive popular interest In
dreams. Mr.. Ross dreamed that he was
thrown under the cars and had n leg
taken OF. According 10 the principle that
dreams forcshadow realities Of an oppo-
site nature, either Mr.. Ross should have
cen exempt from accident, or should
nave lost an arm. As n matter Of fact,
however, two days after his dream he lost
both an arm and a leg. II is painfully APP
parent that the entire system Of dream
Interpretation needs careful revision.

so Speaker Reed has ordered a discon-

liquors in the house restaurant until he
can look up the ''bearing the joint rules

Reed having anything to do with rules is
ludicrous enough, but still IL does not

Mary Seymour Howell, the companion
and co-worker of Susan b. Anthony in
the cause of female suffrage, has not
been receiving the most enthusiastic
ovations imaginable in South Dakota
the past week. At the city of Trip
she was confronted by a crowd of peo-
pie of foreign birth, principally Rus
SLAMS, who informed her that they were
unalterably opposed to women's rights
and women preachers, and under nO
circumstances could she speak In the
school house as the programme had an
nOunced. The friends of the cause
were determined to give Mrs. Howell
the freedom of the school house at all
hazards: but the lady concluding that
discretion was the better part Of valor,
and having a violent repugnance to all
demonstrations in which eggs play a
conspicuous part anyway, shook the
mud of Trip from off her dainty over
shoes and left by the next train. such
is not the stuff that martyrs are made
of. If it had been the only original
and Justly celebrated Susan Ii. herself,
she would have taken possession of
that school house and held it until she
had finished, Russians Oh no Russians,
eggs or no eggs. There was only n
thing that could have disconnected
Miss Anthony i'm the least, and surely
the bitterest anti female suffragists
would not have been so cruelty disre-
spectful as to permit the introduction
of mice.

courts are not infallible. They may
err In their Interpretation Of the con
stitution. Their judgment may be
warped by prejudice or by partisan
ship. A court may be properly, Sc
verely criticised whenever there is &C.
casion to believe that 1t has committed
an error, But let 10 man assume that
any court has authority TO decide alb
stract moral propositions. The vest
ment of such authority would give it
powers more arbitrary and dictatorial
than those exercised by the czar of
Russia. The constitution may be defec-
tive; laws may be unjust: decisions may
be erroneous; courts may be composed
of narrow, partisan, bigoted men; but
there has been reserved unto the Amer.
lean people the right and the ability to
correct all these evils. There are legiti-
mate fields of criticism open to all who
have real grievances against the action
of any court, and only the ignorant or
the perverse will leave those fields for
Others that are not legitimate.

management Of fund donated to the town
of Dresden by Gen. Samuel ]. Bridge and
l.. W. Lithgow deceased, on certain condi-
items TO be used ss = school fund and for

"rhe town in corporate capacity 10 im-
media,ely interested in the subject matter
of the bill, and AS it is not made party the
bin for this reason must be dismissed.
But passing this point the charge In the bill

legal authority to do so; the seallegstions
are denied.

prove the truth Of these allegations. They
fail to do &C, but tue evidence pfoves that
the trustees personally subscribed from their

tle-The scheme Outlined.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
CHICAGO, Ill. Oct. 23.-William 7.
Hunter, Western stockman, has come
to Chicago for the purpose of forming en-
association for beneftjng cattlemeu in d
financial way. Mr.. Hunters plans are
quite comprehensive and will save, he
says, cattle-raisers millions of dollars
now eaten up By the present low prices
aud brokers profits. The real object
seems to be to run against the big
Four and smaller packers following i'll
their wake. The plan is TO establish
stockyards at convenient Western
points and hold shipments back
until the Big Four and others
are ready to go to the association for
terms. ''lt's n big scheme, - said Mr.
Hunter, land all that is necessary is for
the association to hold together. have
50 per cent. of the cattlemeu with me,
and unlimited capital. 1t will raise the
present prices so per cent.
Said prominent member of the Big
Four regarding the scheme: at is i'm
practicable. You might as well try to
dam up the Niagara as to stop the ship
ment of cattle Fast. Cattle were never
so plentiful and never so cheap as they
are now. -
