A LITTLE MISTAKE.

A gentleman well-known in the west as stump speaker has given to a newspaper reporter the following reminiscence of a time when he was somewhat mistaken in the desires of his audience:
 "Once in awhile a speaker gets wrong impression as to the wishes of his audi ence. During the campaign of 1880, I was addressing mass meeting in grove one evening. The chairman had inform ed me that after my speech the audience would be addressed by two or three local speakers, who were then sitting on the platform but whose names he did not mention. After I had talked for about an hour, and was about to close, made a point that seemed to meet with marked approval, for several persons in the audi ence cried out, Right, right!' It was pleasant to be thus indorsed, so talked on little while longer, and when another period was reached a hundred voices shouted: Right, right, right' l said: Yes, gentlemen, am surely right, as you say, and am glad you agree with me, but I must not talk all night, as there are other speakers to be heard But, being so completely en rapport with the audi ence, felt disposed to gratify their wish es still further. So talked on for about twenty minutes longer, when there came still louder shout of Right! right.' I closed and sat down with 8 self-satisfied feeling. Immediately the chairman step ped forward and said to the audience The hour is quite late, but, in accord ance with your expressed desire, you shall now be favored with a short speech from our candidate for state senator, MT. Wright Then it was that the cold truth dawncd upon me, and I realized that had been most cruelty sclf-deceived as to the temper and wishes of that audi ence."

We are sure that there are no white ribboners who will not learn with sincere pleasure that Lady Henry Somerset has taken passage on the Cunard steamer Etruria, sailing from New York, August 27th, for Miss Frances B. Willard and Miss Anna Gordon, inviting them to be her guests at Eastnor Castle. They are weary and worn; the entire change of climate and of scene, with the sea voy- ageAmay be expected to do them great deal of good physically, and their com- plete exemption for few weeks from public work and the routine of office du- ties, will be their first approach to the ''rest'' which has twice been voted Miss Willard at national conventions by her considerate comrades.
 Let it be noted that the aim and meth cd of Crusade Membership Day, Septem- her go, have been thus expressed from the beginning: Each member secures and each member secures one honorary member, or one plus one plus one equals three. This is best done by having a special meeting at which to systematize the work, by giving each one a certain number of houses or offices, shops or stores, to canvass. And in securing mem- berships do not fail to present The Union Signal, and give new members an oppor- tunitg to subscribe, that thus being kept in tosiah with the work all over the world they may become intelligent workers.

Queries, by T. V. Powderly If work ingmen can build palaces in which liquor is sold, why can they not build respecta- ble homes for themselves? If they can afford the time to ruin body, intellect and family in the saloon, why can they not devote part of that time to studying the great question of industrial emaneipa- tion? Why can they not study how to become power in the land which their labor makes greet and wonderful? If the workman cannot afford to purchase a home because the taxes are too high, be- cause land is too dear, because politicians rule, why does he contribute his mte to- ward an institution which raises taxes to maintain police? Why devote his pen nies to that which blinds him to the in- iquitous land system which robs him and which makes him the slave of the corrupt politician, who would have to walk in an upright path if all were sober citizens?

A NIilIiDer's DFNIsaner.

Women have long been drummers
for articles of female apparel. Many
millinerS send their representatives
from one small town to another to-
take orders for hats and bonnets.
Such women have Il right to be en-
rolled in the noble army Of drum
mers without further question.
knew a milliner's drummer once,
says Charlotte Adams, in the New
York Journal. | met her at a New
York clearinghouse. She was very
pretty girl and she wore pea-grsen
cashmere gown made with slashed
sleeves and plenty of diamond jew
elry. I took her to the theater and
ice-crcamed her freely after the per-
Torrance. She was also a buyer of
milliners' goods, and her business at
New York was to purchase for half a
dozen business houses. The last
time heard of her she had taken a
young man to support.
Why, indeed, should women not be
drummers? They are quite as able
and active as the men, and have fal
better manners. They do not ogle
ladies, they do not run after actresses
they do not run up hotel bills at the
expense of their employer and they
do MT buy new clothes out Of the
money allowed for "extras."

CAIRO. Jan. 10. - In an interview
Father Ohrwalder, the priest who was
formerly connected with the Austrian
Sudan mission, and whorecently escaped
from the Mahdists after nine years of
captivity, confirmed the report that the
Mahdi was poisoned, and repeated in de
tail the events that led TO his death.
After the Mahdi tired of warfare he
withdrew to Omdurinan to ENJOY a life
Of licentiousness. Among his prisoners
was the daughter of wealthy citizen
of Khartoum, whose property was con
iiscated when khartoum was captured
by the Mahdists. All his children, except
this daughter, were butchered, and his
wives were sold into slavery. From a
knowledge of poisons she obtained one
for the Mahdi that was slow to bring
about death, and gave it to him i'll a
drink.

DIR. GRAVES DOOM.
Taken to the Penitentiary to Await the
Death Penalty.


Death Penalty.
DENVER, Jan. 11.-Judge Rising denied
the motion of DR.. Graves counsel in
arrest of Judgment, .and sentenced the
condemned man to be hanged within the
two weeks beginning Jan. 81.
In answer to the usual question before
sentence, "Have you anything to say
why sentence should not be pro-
nounced?" the doctor replied: "Your
honor, never in any way or any man
ncr thought of OF had anything to do
with the death of Mrs. Barnaby. have
never confessed to any one that gave a
bottle of whisky to Mrs. Barnaby, be-
cause l never sent it. Proceed, your
honor. "&SS
DIR. Graves was taken to the peniten-
tiary at Canon City last night. Besides
the officers he was accompanied by u
large number of other prisoners, mostly
petty offenders. Steel cuffs were on his
hands and chains bound his feet. This
is the first time he has been exposed to
such indignity. DR.. Graves was not
permitted to see his wife before depart
ing. She is improving gradually, and
is ignorant that her husband has taken
one more step in the direction of the
gallows. This information will not be
conveyed to her until she is well enough
to go to him.
Governor Routt has stated that the
doctor shall have time enough to be
heard in the supreme court. His excel
lency will grant reprieve.

REPUBLICAN In reference to emigrants
coming to this country to get the
benefits OF protection. Does not the
overcrowded condition OF Europe have
as much effect In bringing them as
anything? Is not the misrepresenta
ton Of unprincipled steamship agents
another cause of their coming In the
matter of their not going back after
getting here, they have, in most cases
spent most Of their money In coming
and before they can get work theil
money Is all gone and they drop into
our seaboard cities and towns that are
now overcrowded.
The writer has met many English
men looking for work who said they
gladly would 20 back II they had the
means.to go. will admit that your
argument is In favor OF protection to
foreign labor. but fall to ses how
home labor is protected by the great
influx OF more than 500, 900 foreigners
each year. j am not opposed to the
protection OF American industries, but

well. Respectfully, ID. W. BrssEiLE.
