Speaker Reed FaCetious and Sarcastic

A short time ago number of gentle
men at Louisville, Kentucky, formed a
dining club which they named tine
blue Grass Club" The first Blue
Grass dinner is to be given during the
present month. and among those invited
to attend is Speaker X ed. The shooting
of OK Congressman Taulbee by Nr Kin.
caid, the correspondent OF L luisville
newspaper, recalled to the Speaker
mind the invitation to dine in that city.
The invitation was received through Con
gresham Caruth, who represents the
Louisville district, and the Speaker
wrote a note to that gentleman declining
the invitation of the club. This note
was written in facatious and good-na
tured vein Immediately following the
report of Kincaid's pistol, and, of course,
was not intended for publication. A
indiscreet friend, however, to whom the
letter was was exhibited, concluded that
it was too good to be buried without a
public parade, and accordingly made a
copy of and gave it to some of his news,
paper friends. The letter is as follows.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. %
DEAR Mr.. CARUTH: shall not accept
the invitation rendered me by the Blue
Grass Club. The reason is very simple

ing the said Durham to be a journalist,

is too common to attract attention. Foi

As an act of retaliation upon Mr.
Singerly of the Record who in Septem
Der 1884 for the benefit of small con
sumers of coal declared war upon the
coal combination of Philadelphia by
which the price of that necessity of life
has been considerably reduced, the Goa
combination of that city now charges
that the Record coal was short in weight.
Mr.. Singerly, however, faces the charge
serenely by replying, that he does moi
admit the shortage but guarantees the
weight to be 2,24o pounds, and pledges
himself to return the money paid fol
any ton of coal falling short. In thi:
connection he explains how he makes
contracts with large dealers and assign;
to them the orders received by him
He has sold since September 1884
156,3o4 tons of coal at a reduction Of
fifty cents per ton below the genera
retail price and he in turn retaliates
upon the local combination by reducing
the price from 81 80 per ton to $3.50,
the lowest point reached for many years
in that city. The s,mpathies of the
people are generally with the man who
has pluck enough to attack combine
ton formed for the purpose of keep
ing up the price OF any commodity Of
life, and Mr.. Singerly's coal war is no
exception to the general rule.

Law BY bANLESSNE5S.

We have few words of truth and
soeerness to say TO the VOlcc, the ProEibl
zionist organ in this city. which has dc
voted more than column of its space to
deDunciation Of the World and to the ad-
yoaacy of Temperance by Riot.
There is 10 newspaper in this country
less tolerant than the W0rJd OF Illicit
liquor selling. There is no newspaper
more profoundly concerned for morality
of life, u0u9 that more earnestly desires TO
see the power of the saloon broken aud
the tn fiic in liquor placed under the
most effective restraint that law can
enforce.
But the HOytG caHdemns all forms OF
lawless violence, whether resorted to ny
evil men for evil purposes or 10y good
women for good purposes, Mob violence
is worse than illicit liquor selling, be
cause Illicit liquor selling can be deal'
with by law. while mob violence over
throws all law ard breaks down the very
foundations on which law aud order res
We have the keenest sympathy with
the women OF Missouri their hostility
to the Illegal saloons which tempt their
sons TO destruction. We have only de
testation for law breakers who keep these
unlicensed dens and for the corrupt Off
GERS of the law who refuse or neglect to
enforce the law against them.
But even in such case we most con-
denim resort to lavless violence in a
civilized community, as we do in all
other cases.
Mob violence is never right where the
machinery of civilized society exists. II
wrong is done it is the business of the
law officers, and not of a mob, to repress
and punish it. Ii the law officers refuse
or neglect to do So it is the business OF
the people to go the polls and elect better
men in their stead.
In a free country all law abiding people
must look &c the courts and the ballot
box Tor their .medy against wrong
Any attempt to right wrong by other
forms Of force simply creates another
wrong to be punished York World

Baltimore on the charge of selling
whisky without IA United States license
The deputy Uuited States marshal who
made the arrest bought a drink of whisky
aud paid McGinness for it, and then
asked TO see his license, Neither the
club nor McGiuness had license, as the
possession of one is prima facie evidence
of violation OF the county prohibtory
law, S. McGinness was arrested. He

An Infamous Device For A Ballot Box.

WASHINGTON. d. g., March Up in
the room OF the House Committee on
Election, to-day, stood a ballot box that
will figure in the debates on the Feather
stone-Cate election case next week.
The box is plainly and simply made o
tin ard looks like any ordinary cheap
ballot box. But there is a popularity
about it that appe:rs Only upon close
Inspection. The orifice where the bal
lots are placed is double, so ballot if
placed on one side, slips into the box,
but, il placed on the other side, slides,
unperceiyed, down into a waste basket
or upon the floor. The contestant
Featherstoue--asserts that 81 of these
boxes were used in one county at the
last election in A Larsas, and that, as
the Republican ballots were marked in
blue to distinguish them, it YVES an easy
matter for the Democratic election mana .
gers to see tnat they did not go INTO the
ballot boxes aud get counted. The double
lip around the orifice can readily be
taken off, leaving the box absolutely hon
est in app earance.
