gamblers, saloon men, business men, and in
fact all classes told the gamblers that their

public opinion would drive them out of the city.
Times account
Judge POWERS was called upon amid tumult
of applause. He said that he agreed with every
thing that had been said and concurred with the
views of Judge CoLBoRN. He believed in people
being good but not too good-iust good enough.
He believed in taking the world as it was. No
man could be made particularly good by the
enactment of city ordinance If man, and
especially laboring man wanted to take his
wife and 5children to park and hear sacred
concert, he should be allowed to do so. So long
as gambling and drinking were to be done let
it be done by responsible parties. He admitted
that gambling was an evil, but men would do 1t
if they wanted to; as long as it was to be done
he did not went to see the tin horns and bunko
men at the helm of such places.

BY the way, did any one notice what pains
the Tribune took to gloss over or conceal
the real nature of Judge POWERS remarks
on the occasion referred to? 1t deliberately
changed the sense of what he said, to MAX it
appear as if his conferences with the gamb
lers had been in the nature of warnings in
stead of the direct reverse, and it sup
presses his noble sentiment that gambling
should be limited to responsible parties.
For the benefit of those ministers who
fought, bled and paraded in the good cause
of Liberalism, we reproduce the various
accounts of the judges speech on the oc-
casion of the citizens meeting:
Herald account
Judge POWERS was called for and on stepping
forward was greeted with hearty cheers. s.I
concur with q good deal of what Judge CoLBoRN
has said. believe in people being good; not
too good, but just good enough. We have to
take the world as we find it: don't believe any

something to do with the recent campaign and

was an evil it could not be prohibited but
regulated and that if they got 10 carrying on too
high they would arouse public sentiment that
would clean them out. believe that gambling
well conducted by the men who own property
in the city is better than skin games by stran
gers. Men will drink and will gamble, and if
you try to prevent it, it will go into the hands
of irresponsible men who work on the sly.
Netos account
Judge o. w. POWERS said he believed in being
good but not too good. While conducting the
recent campaign for the Liberals he had con-
| ferred with the gamblers. the saloon men and
the preachers. He had said to the gamblers
that their business should not be prohibited

The proposition, which has been adopted,
20 hold at Knoxville, Tenn, reunion Oh
all the soldiers, both Federal and Conied-
crate. who took part In the battles OF the
Civil War that were fought in the vicinity
Of that CITY. will meet with the warm APP
proval Of the best sentiment OF the whole
country, irrespective Of sections and par
tics. This reunion will come of IN October
next. and il will be watched with an ui-
usual degree Of interest as presenting
spectacle that will be inspiring TO all VINO
have one spark Of patriotism III inc"
breasts. II Is estimated that at least iorty
thousand veterans belonging to boih SIDES
win he present. The mere assembling OF
so many old soldiers would make the occa-
sion a very memorable one in itseii, Ou'
whom il is recalled that twenty-seVen OF
eigbt wears ago these men were arrayed
AGAINST each other in one of the most sah-
euinary contests in the history Of modern
times. the occasion will be seen to he one OF
the most notable that has occurred III tnis
country since the close Of the Civil war.
Such reunions are calculated TO do only
GOOD. BY cultiyating warmer feeling De-
tween the survivors Of either side oil tbe
great contest. and this is the inevitable
effect Of them, they have strong tendency
To bring the Northern and Southern people
nearer together. The mere spectacle oi
such a reunion should arouse only the KIND
est and most conciliatory emotions, ana
such will be the case except in the instance
Of men who are determined to turn the
events Of the war TO a purely partisan au-
vantage, regardless of every dictate OIL
honor and patriotism.
We believe that the day is approaching
when the public sentiment OF both the
Southern and Northern people will set the
seal of its full approval upon a proposition
to bring together all the survivors Of all the
Confederate and Federal armies, whether
they fought in the West or in Virginia. i
reunion of this character, and on this scale,
would be truly sublime, and it would neces-
sarily exert a most profound and far-reach-
ing influence upon the relations ofthe sec
tlons. Apart from its purely sentimental sig
nifcance. it would confer an infinite practi-
cal benefit upon North and South alike, for 1t
would show to the whole world that all the
bitter feeling engendered by the war had
really passed away. In the face Of such
a magnificent spectacle of determination,
the most envenomed Republican partisans
must hold their peace. such reunion
would inaugurataA new era of permanent
good feeling by enforcing upon the attention
of both sections the fact that the glories
won by either side in the course of the late
war are the common property of both sides,
to be transmitted with equal impartiality to
the posterity Of the Confederate and the
Federal soldier alike.

rRAuDs THE CENSUS.

There is strong reason TO think that en-
tensiye frauds have been committed in many
OF the rising cities Of the West in tie course
of the enumeration Of their inhabitants IN
the present census. The scenes OF these
frauds have not been confined 10 cities when
were anxious 10 MAKE more striking show.
ing than some competitor situated quite
near at hand. This was the case In the in
stance Of Minneapolis, which sought by the
wholesale addition Of false names TO pro
duce the impression, under the authority OF
the census report Of 1890, that it had grown
farmore rapidly in population than its rival,
ST. Paul. Other cities, which mad no such
temptation as this TO influence their con-
duet, have been found 10 have been guilty
of the same criminal action, in the hope
that they would thereby acquire the reputa-
tion Of having made remarkable advance
in population, a fact which would have
powerful effect upon capitalists seeking
Western investments.
As an example Of this fraudulent DISPOSE
ton. it may he mentioned that the charge
has recently been brought against several
members Of the Duluth Chamber Of Com
merce that they have been in collision with
a number Of the census enumerators TO
falsify the returns by making large addi-
tious Of fictitious names to the list Of the
inhabitants Of that city.
The commission Of such frauds in the West
is not without an interesting lesson. These
frauds have their origin not in any desire
for individual gain or advancement, but in
an ambition 10 advance the interests Of
the whole community by making the latter
appear 10 more advantage than il is entitled
10 do. This motive does not diminish the
criminal character OF the act, but ii shows
TO what point the public spirit ofthe west
ern cities is pressed. Every western man
is interested in the showing of his city or
town as it will be recorded in the census re-
port, and il is not unjust TO say that it has
not been difficult TO find citizens who have
been ready for the supposed benefit Of their
fellow citizens alone, to make false state
ments or TO conspire with the public officers
u ensure by false means more favorable re.
turns than could be secured by fair means.
In the Southern states, there has been no
reason during the present enumeration to-
suspect that there has been any criminal
work of the character named. There have
been many complaints that the true num-
Der Of inhabitants has not been fully taken,
but few if any, that this number has been
swollen by criminal methods. The def
ciencies in the census as taken in the South,
have been due, not to criminal dispositions,
but TO the difficulties Of making perfectly
accurate report under any circumstances,
or TO gross incompetence or incidence on
the part of the officers who have had the
enumeration in charge.

\ magnificent kali mujah, or death plant

armed with thcrns nearly an inch long, and
covered with broad, satin-smOOth leaves OF

on the other.
The flowers Of the death plant are large
milk white. and cup-likc, being about the
size and depth of "A large coffee cup, and
