'Let us arbitrate our troubles.
Give our diplomats a chance
There wasn't a dissenter,
Save a party named McCance.
He might have been McCarty,
Or P. OHollohan,
For he represented Dublin
And he was an Irishman.
He laid his stick behind him,
And tousled up his hair,
Attracting the attention
OF the venerable Chair.
He said he had the honor,
And the pleasure, and some more,
To listen to the arguments
Against the dogs of war;
He had seen the dove exalted,

Without a spear of hair.
This gentleman from Dublin,
As he spat upon the floor,
In wicked, quick, impulsive way
Announced his wish for gore.
It was really quite ridiculous,

His walls of wrath were full,
And one by one he emptied them
Upon old Johnny Bull.

A Reign of Terror in Florida.

News has been received from Cedar
Keys, Fla, that that city has been in a
terrible commotion since Saturday. The
mayor and marshal are holding high carni-
val. The lighthouse keeper had a pistol
discharged at him while he was on the
street and warned to keep off the street.
An inotfensiye man, an Episcopal clergy
man and his wife, have left the city to
avoid horse whipping. The United States
collector has been held up by Mayor Cot
trel and his ally, the town marshal, and
threatened with Imprisonment ifhe stepped
GU Of his Office, and r. NJ. Dozier, agent
of the Florida Central railroad, was way
laid and an attempt made to shoot him.
The telegraph operator was terribly
whipped by a negro, Mayor Cottrell hold
ing a loaded pistol to the negro's head and
forcing him to do the whipping. He
grossly ins1lted ladies of the town, and in
fact things are so bad that many OF the
Oldest and leading citizens have left the
place, including several ministers. Ii is a
perfect reign of terror. and every person
met on the street for the last few DAYS has
been armed.

Mormons from Europe.

The advance guard of a little army of
LOO converts to Mormon, due here this
year on steamships of the Guion line. have
arrived at New York on the Wyoming. 1t
consisted of about 140 Swedes and Danes.
about half of whom are women. They
were in the charge of Missionary Adolph
Anderson and four Mormon elders. Labor
Inspector Milhollana questioned the mis-
slonary to find out whether or not his con-
verts might not be prevented from landing
under the contract labor law. The mis-
sionary answered warily. He admitted
that the party had been assured
that they would find employment, but that
this employment was not actually waiting
them. Their relatives and friends, the
missionary said, had guaranteed to give
them work. They were permitted to land
u took a steamer to Norfolk, whence
they will go west. Inspector Miliholland,
who was in Utah last fall looking into the
subject of Mormon immigration, thinks
that there is little doubt that nearly all of
the Mormon immigrants enter into a YER
bal contract with the missionary. who
promises them employment in the new
world. The recent decision Of Judge La
combe, Mr.. Milholland thinks, gives the
collector power to bar immigrants who
come here even under an implied contract.

Ayindictiue Murdernr.

A terrible tragedy occurred in Wall
street, New York, when a vindictive young
man, Alphonso j. Stephens, shot and
mortally wounded Lawyer Clin-
ton G. Reynolds. The murderer
had been but a few hours in the city, hav-
ing Just arrived on the White Star steamer
Majestic from Liverpool. The cause of
the tragedy was as follows:
Stephens father carried on the. fruit
business in New York. He died two years
ago leaving his wife sole ext cu,rix. Alphonso
carried on the business, but converted
much of it into cash, depositing $4,000
with q safe deposit company. He quar-
relied with and assaulted his mother, and
two months ago went to Europe. During
his absence his mother consulted
Lawyer Reynolds, who advised an at
tachment against him and the safety
deposit company. He probably heard of
this on his arrival and at once went to
Reynolds Office, where he held an inter-
view with him in the inner Office. Hear
ing a shot fired the occupants of the outer
Office rushed in md found Stephens
standing over Reynolds with n smoking
revolver in the hand and Reynolds prob
ably fatally wounded, with a bullet wound
just below the heart. Stephens was ar

Petticoats Must Go,

The general conference Of the NJ. E.
Church South listened to an appeal from
the Northwest Texas conference against
licensing women to preach. The resolu-
ton admitting laymen TO membership on
all committees was carried by an over
whelming majority. David j. Waller,
secretary of the British Wesleyan confer.
ence, the first delegate ever sent t the
general conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South from the mother con-
ference, was introduced during the day.
The diocesan convention at Charleston
before adjournment the following protest
was presented by those opposed to negro
admission: I'VE respectfully request to
record this our protest against the adop-
ton of amendments tending to do away
with the separate organization Of the
races" The protest is signed by 1902 per-
sons. The seceders declare that they have
not given up the fight; that the alleged
compromise is adopted to enable the bishop

Canadian Roads.

An attack on the Canadian railroads do
ing business in the United States is made
in a bill introduced by Senator German. of
Maryland, and now pending before the
interstate commerce commission. The
bill provides for an additional section to
the present interstate commerce act. The
bill makes it unlawful for any railroad op-
Grating in an adjacent foreign country to
carry traffic destined to and from the
United States or running cars into or
through parts of the United States unless
the road first obtains, a license or permit to
engage in such business. To obtain a
license the road must furnish by an
authorized agent an application to do
such business and to agree by stip-
ulation TO conform to all the rules
and regulations of the Interstate COM
merce act, and place itself. its books and
papers at the disposal of the commission
when demand is made. In sh ort, all Can
adian roads must conform to the inter-
state commerce laws. II the commission
should decide that the road has been vio-
lating any of the rules prescribed it may
suspend the license granted. The COM
mittee on Interstate has prac.
tically decided to report on it favorably,
Notwithstanding the protests made by the
Northwestern people. 1t may not pass
the senate, but even if it does, il will
probably be held in the house committee
on commerce. Representative Lind says
the senator's along the northern boundary
line will, no doubt, oppose the bill with
all the force they can command. The OPP
position will come principally from Min
nesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin. Mich
igan and all New England. The bill is in
the general line OF attack that is being
made against Canadian roads and their
connections in the United States. SEN
ator Washburn says the bin will be de-
1eated in the senate,

Church circles, of Charleston, Ind, are
troubled by the scandal in which the most
prominent clergyman of the town is in.
volved. Rev. Henry Berger, pastor of the
German Methodist church, it is said, has
confessed to having sustained improper re-
lations with q handsome and prominent
woman of his parish. She. on the other
hand, denies the charge aud proposes to
bring a libel suit. Berger held the highest
social position, and was very popular, and
everybody is astonished that he should
make such a confession. He has an in.
valid wife and a fine family, who feel the
matter keenly Since the matter became
public he has thrown up his license to
preach and withdrawn from the church.

dogma that the temporal power Of the
Pontifi, of which the church was deprived
by the advent of Victor Emmanuel into
Rome in 1876, Ia essential to the complete
majesty Of the vice regent Of Christ on
earth is the theme of general discussion in
Catholic circles on the continent. The de-
cision of sixty-si1 of the hundred bishops,
whose views of tho matter were solicited
by the pope, that the present time is OPP
perfume for the declaration of this principle
e%vinces n position swerving of popular
opinion. The fact that the Italian bishops
opposed the proclamation is not to be
taken as evidence Of their belief that
the occupant of the chair of st. Peter
should not be a temporal as
we'll as a spiritual sovereign. The clergy of
Italy are placed in q position of such pc
culiar delicacy in regard to expressions of
opinion on matters touching the relations
of the church and the state that no posi-
tive declaration of approval could be ex-
pected from them, while the laity have
long since fallen into o state of apathy. as
regards both pope and king, owing to the
%unchanging condition of the autagouism
between the vatican and the quirinal,
which the lapse of twenty years has not
suficed to moliify or even change III char

replies to the pope's circular. from any IL
country, came from Austria, where the
sentiment in favor of the temporal SOW
ereignity of the church is strong aud I'M

furnished the next highest, the rest being
divided about equally among Germany,

that unless there is rain within three or
four days they will p,ow their fields up and

was a magnificent wheat prospect, but the
absence OF rain has stopped it's growth,
and it is now beginning to head out at a
heisht OF less than a foot. A good rain
