BOUNCE THE MAN ROOKIE.

During the Cleveland administration
there was no more malignant enemy of
hold-over Republicans than E. j.
Rookie, the foreman of the city distri-
button in the postoffice. Himself a hold
over, he was so subservient to his new
Democratic masters that he pointed
out this and that one of his former col
leagues who, like himself, were Repub-
licans under previous governments.
In the interest of his present mas
ters he is pretending to be Republi-
can and is lying about Democrats.
The fact is, that the fellow is a dis
grace to the service and should be
kicked out without any further ado.
What use are men of the Rookie
stripe to the Government
The Lord only knows what use they
are to the Republican party.
Col. Sexton will do himself credi
by bouncing Mr.. E. j. Rookie.

elk and buffalo. This was far more
profitable and much easier understood
pastime than fighting Indians. The
rest of Crooks campaign appears to
have been. devoted to leading his usu-
ally unprepared column through will
derness until the troops were forced to
eat their cavalry horses to keep alive.
And this was generalship.
Fie!
1t is too bad that this record was
not known to the public years ago.
Contrast Crook as an Indian fighter
with Miles.
Contrast Crook and his modern i'm
plements of warfare with Gen. Har-
rison.
Gen. William Henry Harrison, with
one-third the men Crook had, whipped
the confederated Indians with match
lock muskets at Tippecanoe, and
although not in the buffalo belt" he
was in a greater wilderness than Crook
ever saw. He broke the Indian power
from the lakes to the Gulf, however.
1t is too bad to revive unpleasant
memories about Crook, but one cannot
forbear to remember that this "able"
General was captured in bed by the
rebels at Cumberland, Md, during
the war. Chicagoans should remem-
Der that it was he who ordered the rash
charge which was primarily responsible
for the death of Chicago's favorite son,
gallant James A. Mulligan. Crook
was in command, and he ordered Col.
Mulhgan TO clear some woods IN front
of him Mulligan sent back word that
the whole rebel army was in his front,
sending his brother-in-law Lieutenant
Nugent, with the message. Crook re-
piled that he knew better that the
enemy were bushwhackers and moth
ing else.
at is murder" said Mulligan, "but
We must obey orders"
1t was murder. Mulligan was right.
The whole rebel force was charged by
his regiment. Mulligan and Nugent
were killed and defeat ensued Crook
was afterward captured in bed by the
rebels at Cumberland.
SO much for this Indian fighter"

A Howl from the COUNTY Buiidinq

A howl went up from county en-
ployes, lawyers, and taxpayers when
the electric lights were shut off in the
County Building The gas-fxtures
are old and many chandeliers are miss
ing. The Court House is as dark as
the catacombs and the weak, uncer
tain light from the gas-jets made no
impression on the darkness. Janitors
and cleaners could not see to brush the
courtroom floors. Lawyers ran
against each other, and in the Abstract
Department work had practically to
be suspended. The order putting out
the lights at o'clock was made by the
Public Service Committee of the
County Board with the intention of
giving county employees half-hoiday.
But there was not an Office that prof
tied. The statute requires that the
County Clerk and Clerks of the County,
Circuit and Superior Courts keep their
Offices open Saturdays as well as other
days, and the only result of the order
made by the committee, overanxious
to head the procession in favor of social
and political reforms, was to plunge
the Court House in darkness, to the
serious inconvenience of 800 people
who had work there and give the man
who has charge of the dynamo half
holiday. The engineers could not go
away because the elevators had to run.
Worst of all, the expense of lighting
the few gas-jets not corroded with rust
exceeded what the electric light would
cost

IT may not be generally known to the
reading public how much each indi-
vidual letter of the alphabet is used.
ID, h, n, o, and Il are in third place as
regards ordinary use; t, 8, q, and +
are in second place, being used very
little oftener; and m are in fourth
with f, g, y, V, p and b close afterward !;
and k are not common, as compared
to the rest; while 2, q and X are used
least of all The letter is In first
place, being used far oftener than any

IT is related that few years ago the
Prince of Wales declined to attend
luncheon following the opening Of a

touring in Buckinghamshire, shut
himself up in his room on learning of a
similar resolve, and sent word to his
hosts that he would remain there until
the journalists were accorded place at

Steve Douglas, of the First, favored
an early convention. He said that
while the Democrats had always been
guilty of Inconsistencies he believed
they were about to do one consistent
thing by nominating Gen. Palmer in
State convention for the United States
Senate. I'VE have more than one man

State is full of good men, and we have
men who can combat Mr.. Palmer in
any section of the State. If he wants

one to entertain him, and so in any
other part of the State"
Gen. Green B. Raum, United States
Commissioner of Pensions, was called
to the platform and made a brief
speech, which was enthusiastically re-
ceived. Gen. McNulta was called out
and was received with a storm of
cheers. He counseled an early con-
vention, and advised that concessions
be made to bring about state of har-
mony. The speech was well received.
At it's conclusion Gen. Martin exhorted
those present to go home and vote the
Republican ticket, and declared the
meeting adjourned

LOTERY'S LOOT

Who is protecting Louisiana Moore

Who is protecting NJ. A. Hogan?
Who is protecting Mike Lawler?
Why is Charles Bush permitted to
run his lottery scheme wide open?
1t is a well-known fact that the
Louisiana lottery takes $780, 600 clear

officials or officers of the law get any
of the loot?

CROOK, THE "WDiAN FIGHTER.

The magnificent book from the pen
of John F. Finerty, on the conquest of
the Sioux, will open the eyes of the
American people to great many
things. 1t will dash number of idols
to the earth, and make history what it
ought to be, truthful record of
events. Mr.. Finertv was an admirer
of General Crook, and nowhere in the
book is word uttered in dispraise of
that officer Yet Mr.. Finerty, in his
truthful and absolutely correct account
of what came under his own observa-
ton in the field, unintentionally but
thoroughly knocks General Crooks
reputation as an Indian fighter into
infinitesimal smithereens.
Crook died just in time to preserve
his reputation as an Indian fighter,
at least so far as soldering and fiat
tering obituaries were concerned.
The truth is, he never was an Indian
fighter at all, except to try and save
his bacon when Indians were around.
The Indians he fought in Ari-
IONA were principally killed by Mex
lean troops after they had crossed
the border. But the Arizona Indians
were never numerous enough to fill
two freight cars, no matter what their
capacity for deviltry might be. But it
was in the campaign against the
mighty Sioux that the great Indian
fighter" gained his reputation. Let
lis see what he did: Assembling a
force large enough to wipe out all the
Indians in North America, with enough
mules and camp equipage to grace the
army of an emperor, Gen. Crook
started out to find the best cavalry in
the world the Sioux, and to whip
them He led this array through sew
eral passes, F" in any one of which few
hundred Indians might have massa-
cred the whole army, and Mr. Finerty,
who was with the column, bears wit
ness to this fact. Finally Crook met
the Indians at the Rosebud and was
licked to a standstill.
If he was not licked, why did he re,
treat?
He could not consistently say though
he did say So, that it was to care for his
wounded Surely he started out tC
fight Indians, and not on a holiday pa.
rade. He must have expected some
casualties
II he was not licked or whipped OF
defeated at the Rosebud. then he wa

ruined by the depredations of rats. To
get lid of them a novel expedient has
come into use The farmer finds a bur
row in which from fifty to a hundred
rats reside Every exit save one is
carefully stopped. At this one is placed
a common iron tea kettle. Opposite the
spout is bored a hole in which is in
serted piece of gas pipe, about one
foot long. Over the spout is placed
another piece of pipe, which is run into
the opening leading to the burrow. A
fire is then built in the kettle and a
couple of handfuls of sulphur thrown
on the Goals. The top being closed the
fumes are driven into the burrow by a
hand bellows, the nozzle of which is in
serted in the top pipe, Some of these
burrows are fifty yards in length the
fumes go through all it's passages, and
in five minutes every young and old ro-
dent is dead.
