Polly in a Cvolona

Some days ago, says the Chicago Dusly
Tribune, the daughter Of an old board Of trader
who lives in one Of those castlelike residences
far south on Prairie avenue. satisfied a passing
whim by purchasing parrot. Now, her
father is man of very few words, but this fact
went for nothing with the parrot Before the
green and yellow feathered lipguist had spent
SO much al forty eight hours amid its new sur
roundipgs It proved itself able to outtalk the
entire family. It demonstrated that IL was one
Of those takers that insist on having the last
and loudest word at night, and the first and
fercest in the morning. In fine. the bird was
way I'D In his business He seemed to fully
and thoroughly realize that he was born and
bought TO talk. and now his one purpose In life
was to fulfil his mission.
The old board Of trader is a kind, indulgent
this world who know when they have enough.
Poll was too much.
The daughter taught the bird TO say and do
many bright things, and among Others to
like the weather to-dayf" This, somehow,
proved an additional irritation to the old gentle
man. but. nevertheless, he tried to smile and
look pleasant under 1t.
After enduring the pet "beast" for several
days the indulgent parent tried to coax his
daughter 60 let him take 1t down and exhibit it
to the boys on change. Secretly his point was
TO lose the parott en- route. But. no, the daugh-
ter was too familiar with the plucking propen-
stiles of her fathers associates to trust her
sweet darling Poll" in the pits, Things ran on
from Oad 10 worse, until unaliy one DAY when
the market had gone heavily against him-and
that. too on the strength of fake cable from
Russia-the old man went home at night with
murder 10 his heart. Bolting into the house and
past his wife and daughter without seeing them,
he made straight for the conservatory where
perched the parrot No sooner had he thrown
open the door OF the exotic retreat than the
bird shrugged himself and cried: "Ah, there
How'd you like the market to-day"
BLANK youi" Kissed the old man, and catch
ing Poll by the legs be swung him round and
round at arms length about bis head a score of
times and then dropped him on the floor for
dead.
The daughter and mother, having followed
the father on tiptoe, stood epeechless, geSing
upon the exhibition from behind curtains
Presently the parrot began to show signs of
recovery. He got upon his feet, wabbled to his
pole, and after dextesous use OF his beak and
talons he gained his porch Then, looking about
him in q dazed sovt OF way. he shrieked: Gee
whiz-how the wind blowsw
Reconciliation between father and daughter
came about amid much laughter. and Poll gets

The Nomination of Judge Woods.


It Is expected that the democratic sena-
tors will make q fight against confirming the
nomination Of Judge Woods 70 one Of the
new circuit judgeships. Judge Woods is a
United States district judge IN Indiana,
and a warm personal friend of the Presi-
dent. The opposition TO him grows out of
his conflicting opinions in the
Dudley conspiracy case Dudley
Is the man who was charged with writing
letter advising that the floating voters of
Indiana be divided into BLOCKS of fven In
order, SO IL was understood, that they could
be more easily controlled by the immense
corruption fund of which the Republican
party had command IN the campaign of
1883.
The Indianapolis Sentinel calls the nomi2
nation OF Judge Woods ian indecent act
and says that In making it the President
Outraged the moral sense of the country"
It's attack upon Judge Woods is an exceed
inEly bitter one. II alleges that be stulti-
fed himself in the Dudley conspiracy case
at the bidding Of the President and In order
to save Dudley from being convicted.
There is very strong feeling against
Judge Woods among the democratic SEM
abors and the indications are that when his
nomination comes up for confirmation all
the scanaalous charges against him win be
revived and discussed. Senator Voorhees,, of
Indiana, went to Indianapolis day or two
ago with the view, 1t is said, of collecting
data for that purpose.
The republicans have sufficient major
ity TO confirm the nomination of Judge
Woods, and 1t is probable that the Presi-
dent was assured they would do so before
he sent 1t to the Senate. But before 1t is
confirmed the country is likely to be made
much better acquainted with Judge Woods,
his career on the bench and with the
"blocks-of.fve" conspiracy than 1t is at
present.

Decidedly strange scene occurred In the
Camden criminal court the other day. It
was remarkable even for New Jersey.
When young foreign adventurer, who had
married Philadelphia beauty and then
committed bigamy by marrying notorious
woman in New Jersey TO spend the money
Of his legal wife upon. was arraigned for
trial, the father Of the legal wife actually
undertook to defend him. But he was
somewhat perplexed and crest-fallen when
his own son and tho brother of the wronged
wife arose and announced with
some feeling that be represented the
public prosecutor and intended to push the
case to the extreme penalty of the law.
Then he proceeded to say that when father
turned against his own daughter at tho in
stigation of a mere adventurer who had
wronged her it was time for her brother TO
assume the fathers proper position and
stand by her against all odds. Perceptibly
the prevailing sentiment was in the sons
favor and he had the pleasure Of convicting
his exemplary brother-in>law to the great
confusion Of his father. That Is the ssre of a
brother every good girl ought to have.

senator Peffer.s Proeramme.

Senator PETER has bean given q seat on
the republican side Of the Senate and has
been taken care Of by the republicans in the
distribution of committee places. The To-
ference Ia, therefore. that he has given the
republican senators to understand that upon
all party questions it Is his purpose to act
with them. But he does not talk as if he
was In harmony with the Republican party.
In an interview the other day be told
correspondent that he had been discussing
tbs political situation with Senators Irby
and Kyle. who are regarded as farmers
alliance senator's, and trying TO reach basis
for harmonious action. He says he does not
know that they can accomplish great deal
for the farmers, but be believes they can do
something toward improving their material
condition.
The most important OF the things he
would like to accomplish are the following:
Prevent the issue of any more notes by the
national banks, reduce the tariff on q num-
Der Of articles which the farmers are com.
PEELED to buy. make the coinage of silver
free. and put all the railroads of the country
under one management.
The programme that Senator PETER maps
out is a big one. And his republican friends
will not give him much assistance in any
thing be purposes to do. A few of them
perhaps would vote with him in favor of
the free coinage Of silver. but the President
would veto q free silver coinage
bill II it should be passed. Not
a republican senator would vote to dis
turb any feature of the Mckinley tariff.
and 1t is doubtful il any of them would cast
a vote for measure to cripple the national
banks. And the placing of all the railroads
Of the country under one management Is
not to be thought Of. How could such a
ching be donei Only by the purchase Of
all the railroads by the government A
debt of magnificent proportions the govern
ment would have il it bought all the rail-
roads. Il would have to pay the price
asked for them, and some worthless proper
ties would be got rid OF at profitable prices.
But II the government should become the
owner Of all the railroads the party in
power would have such an advantage that
nothing less than a revolution could wrest
the control Of the government from It. The
character of the government would be
changed in a great measure. Such CEN
tralizatiSn of power would leave little
power 20 the peopIa
Senator PETERS views will be greatly
not be surprising IL he should be as good a
republican as any Of she republican senator's
within the next two or three years.

Sympathy for the alleged woes Of the
black man do not take a very practical
shape In New York If the recent verdict of
a jury Is to be accepted as any criterion.
Apparently such carefully selected body
ought to at least be just IL not generous.
But these twelve men condemned a negro
youth to die for killing a policeman who
was admitted to have so brusally
beaten the negro boy With his heavy
club that he was supposed to be insane
when he avenged his unredressed wrongs
by cutting the policeman's throat with a
razor from behind. Notwithstanding these
paliating circumstances the jury decided to
execute the negro by that electric torture
which New York regards as an advance
ment in the science of slaughtering crimi-
mails. That sort Of justice doesn't appear
from this distancs TO be quite up TO the
standard of superior civilization that
New York papers are constantly
claiming for their big town.

A Charoa for Ingalls,.

The death Of Senator Plumb, of Kansas,
gives ex-senator Ingalls, a chance to get
back into the Senate for short time. It is
in the power of the governor to I'LL the va
cancy, and there is no doubt he will do so.
He is republican. and the legislature is an
alliance body. 1t is safe TO say therefore
that he Will not call the legislature together
for the purpose of electing senator.
But will he appoint Mr.. IngallsG This
question cannot be answered with any de-
gree of certainty at this time. The gov
ernor has been approached already by Mr.
Ingalls, friends. but he has given them no
encouragement. 1t would hardly be proper
for him to take up the question OF sue
cessor until after the funeral of the deed
senator.
Doubtless there will be several can
didates and the claims of some OF
them may be much stronger than
that Of Mr.. Ingalls The fact
that Mr.. Ingalls, has not been very active
in assisting his party since he was
defeated for reelection will not be forgot
ten. A great many republicans of the
state do not feel kindly toward him, be-
cause they regard him as supremely sell
fish man. In the last state campaign he
rendered his party no assistance, for the
reason, 1t is believed, that 1t had no chance
for success As a party man, however,
who had been greatly honored, it was his
duty to do what he could to help his party.
But 1t may be that he does not want TO
go back to the Senate for the brief period
for which the governor has the power to
appoint. The alliance Is still active and
aggressive In Kansas and may succeed in
getting majority Of the next legislature.
In that event Mr.. ingalls,, il appointed,
would stand no chance OF remaining In the
Senate. The legislature would elect a
senator just as soon as ID met, and it would
choose a man who was in harmony with
alliance views. Under the circumstances,
Mr.. Ingalls, might hesitate to accept an ap-
pointment from the governor.
1t is true that the next legislature may be
a republican body, and if Mr.. Ingalls, should
take an active part In electing ii he would
stand pretty good chance of being its
choice for senator. In a few days 1t will be
known probably whether or not the voice OF
the iridescent statesman is to be heard In
the Senate this winter.

ohris.mas Fires IN the squares.


The city authorities seem disposed to
permit the boys to build fires in the squares
south of Liberty street on Christmas eve
and Christmas night. There is good deal
Of sentiment in favor Of letting the boys
have this privilege But does not careful
consideration Of the matter lead to the con-
clusion that 1t is about time that the Christ
mas bonfires were confined TO the Park ex-
tensionl There is plenty OF room for them
there. The boys can get just as much salts
faction out Of them there as in the squares,
and the fires in that locality would not incon-
venience any one nor endanger property.
Why not then confine them 20 the Park ex-
tensionl
1t is true that the boys have had bonfires
in the squares at Christmas from time i'm
memorial, but it is only recently that the
work of improving the squares has been
begun. Within the last two or three years
a great deal Of money has been spent upon
them. Trees have been set out and grass
planted. A special effort has been made TO
impress the public with the necessity of
keeping OF the grass and preserving the
trees from injury. The effort has been sue
cessful to a certain extent. The people are
beginning 70 take pride in the squares,
and are showing a disposition 60
refrain from doing anything tending to
mar their beauty.
The bonfires bring crowds into the
squares. Wherever the fires are built the
grass is burned out and great patches of
the ground are left bare. 1t is difficult to
build large fires in any Of the squares In
which palmetto trees have been planted
recently without inJurinR those trees. The
day following the fires the squares are lit
tered all over with the charred remains Of
barrels and boxes and paper. It costs the
city considerable money TO put them In q
presentable condition again.
The boys ought to be permitted to have a
good time. Of course, but they can enjoy
their bonflres just as much in the Park ex-
tension as in the squares, and the squares
would not be injured. The using of the
squares for bonHres has a tendency TO de-
stroy the sentiment in favor of improving
them. The taxpayers will soon want to
know why they should be taxed TO improve
them if care is not taken 70 preserve the
improvements. Let the city authorities
think OF this matter. It certainly presents
an opportunity 10 inaugurste reform.
