AGAiST FUSION.

A large Alliance meeting was held
in Schnitzler's hall last night at
which the subtreasury plan of the St.
Louis platform was discussed. The meet
ing was an adjourned one from last week.
These meetings composed of the different
Alliance organizations of the city and
county and sit with open doors. Last night
after the discussion on the sub-treasury
plan was concluded, the question of fusion
with the Democrats was discussed. 1t was
evident that the fusion was no go. AT the
meeting last night the sentiment against
fusion was ten to one and some
hot discussions ensued, brought on by a
few who favored fusing. The faction ia
voring fusion favored making an organi-
cation of this congress, as it is termed. To
this end the Democrats wanting to fuse
labored as the only qualification necessary
to become a member to such an organiZa-
ton is to declare allegiance to the st.
Louis platform - thus large number
could be run in by the Democratic faction
and carry the vote for fusion. Some of
the speakers opposing were most pro-
nounced in opposing fusion and were loud
ly cheered.

How Hamlin Converted an Enemy.

How Hamlin Converted an Enemy.
Hannibal Hamlin had avery strong politi-
cal enemy at Hampden, whose political OPP
position was carried to the extreme of per-
sonal hate. When the rebellion had be-
come fact and military lines were estab-
Hshed requiring passes to cross from the
north to the south, this enemy of Hamlin
found himself in dilemma. A daughter
of his lived near Fortress Monroe and he
was extremely anxious to visit her. He
knew that he must get pass from the sec
rotary of war to crafty his wish. He knew
nobody to whom he could apply for it ex-
cept Hamlin, and he did not wish to ask
aid of the man he had done so much to in
jure. There was no alternative, however,
so with fear and trembling he approached
the then vice president. Hamlin heard his
request and then said in his characteristic
way:
"Jim, you know you have done every
thing to injure me. You forget the old
school copy that we used to write from
1T is long road that has no turn How
can you ask me to help your"
Eyes, squire" was the abashed response,
81 did quite wrong. l am sorry, butt
"Well JIM" Hamlin interrupted, I am
going to do you Bible justice. I am going
to heap Goals of fire on your head. Come
with me-"
They went TO Mr.. Stanton's house and
the vice president procured the pass and
gave it to Jim, telling him he need have
no further anxiety, as he could now get
his daughter up to her Maine home. Jim
broke down completely. 1t is needless to
say that Mr.. Hamlin made a convert for
himself by that act.-New York Times

unrivaled leader.
Berlin and Vienna have accomplished
magnificent results in city making, and
great British towns-Giasgow, Birming-
ham, Manchester and others-have in a
less ambitious way wrought no less useful
reforms, but Paris was the pioneer. French

ARRESTED FOR EMBEzzLING.
The Treasurer of the Swltchmen's Mutual
Aid Association is Arrested.

Word has been received in this city that
John Bush, the treasurer of the Switch
mems Mutual Aid association of this city,
was arrested at San Antonio, Texas, and
will be brought to the city tonight by the
sheriff who went after him.
John Bush, the defaulting treasurer
disappeared from the city about month
ago and nothing was heard from him I'M
til the news of his apprehension By the Of
ficers of the law The money he got away
with. the exact amount of which could
not be learned, had been paid
in by the members here and was
due the grand lodge at Chicago. The
failure to pay into the grand lodge the
money would have cost the members
1000 for each accident or death which
might have occurred had the embezzle-
ment not been discovered in time Bush
was well known and of course was trust
ed man, occupying heidi, the position of
treasurer. 1t is said that the books of the
defsulting treasurer are in such a condi-
ton that the amount of the money taken
could not be figured out

4 FISHING PARTY.

A piscatorial party consisting of w. r.
Fraser, L. S. Hougland, Willard Boone,
Charles Sharp, f. c. Mancourt, L. Z.
Bleckley and E. j. Rogers leave Wichita
this morning for the Whitewater. The
gentlemen will spend several days along
the banks of this beautiful stream and
will try to entice the bass and other species
of the finny tribe and will at the same time
enjoy inhaling the invigorating atmosphere
only found waiting over the fertil plains
of Kansas. The party will take
with them plenty of provisions with
which they will be literally supplied by
the French cook who will accompany the
expedition. 1t is, however, a singular fact
that the gentlemen constituting this party,
who are avowed ladies men, that they
are not accompanied by the members of
the fairer sex, and their failure to do so
may be the cause of their not being recog-
nized when they return. The fish market
will, undoubtedly. be over stocked next
week, and lovers of this fare may prepare
themselves for banquet.

WHAT FIRST TO 90.

It's 90 use 10 grumble and sigh,
It's no use 10 worry and fret
1t is useless TO g-oan or 10 cry,
Or fling yourself down in pet.
You'll never be wise or be great
II sou buster like bees when they swarm;
IT'S folly your woes TO berate,
And pitch like ship in a storm.
Don't get in tantrum and shout
When obstacles rise IL your path,
And dont-let me beg OF you-pout
By way of displaying your wrath;
Don't butt out your brains Just to spite
Some fancied injustice OF fate,
For time will set everything right
If you only have patience to wait.
The clustering wind cannot chill
The lake, though he ruflss its face;
But the frost, with its presence so still
Locks it fast in a silent embrace.
So you may win fame beyond price,
And conquer the world with It's peh.
If you only will heed this advice,
And first learn to conquer yourself
