The police were somewhat more active yestcr-
day in enforcing the Excise law, and succeeded
in making seventy-six arrests. This is a larger
number than was recorded either one week or
two weeks ago. but it is really inappreciable
compared with the large number of saloons
which regular customers. if not all corners in
deed had no difficulty in entering. Practi-
ca!y. the liquor sellers are having their own
way Oh Sunday, despite the new superin-
tendents seemingly sincere assertions that he
would enforce the law.
"None but Democrats need apply " is the fiat
which appears to have gone forth regarding
the vacancy in the State Railroad Commission
that will occur when Michael Richards term
expires in November. Under Governor Flower
the Commission has for the first time been
made wholly Democratic though the spirit of
the law and common fairness demand that
the Republican party should be represented on
it. Now it is said that Richard Croker has de-
creed that the vacancy must be filed by a
Democrat, and of course the Governor will
make just such an appointment as he is or
dered to make.
One of the burning questions before the
MethOOSt General conference Is tnat OF eject
ing a negro bishop. Ii was referred to the
Committee on Episcopacy, which, however,
has refused to venture an answer. The com
mittees report will be presented to-day, and
will declare that the race or nationality of
bishops" must be decided by the free votes
of those invested with the responsibility OF
electing bishops" That is to say, the General
Conference itself must pass upon the question.
The colored Nlethodists have never had a
bishop of their own race and to give them one
would be a radical departure from the usage
of the Methodist body.
The Giants, as they are still fOndly, if not
with absolute truth, called, are back in New
York again. and will play at the Polo Grounds
to-day and for three or four weeks to come.
During their absence they have not made a
good record-in fact, before they went away
they ,werc called sharply to accOunt-and
their place in the list is not something to be
pointed to with pride. Now they have a
splendid opportunity to redeem their reputa-
ton. II they fail to improve it, they will
surely forfeit the title which they have long
creditably borne. The week will be an inter
esting one, from the baseball point of view,
not only because the New-Yoll team are to

there have been thirteen men, most

big fellows, who have used such
language and threats to me, as in
many cases would render them
amenable to the statute against
"insulting and abusive language"
Beside these l have heard of
threats from quite a number of
others who never said anything
to me. while the newspapers of
Lexington, and some at other
places, have used the very ugliest
and most scurrilous language
about me that their vituperative

Gifted Men Who Have Led Their Admir-

More than score of years ago, an
eminent musical composer. whose
music is heard to-day in thousands of
places of religious worship throughout
the land, was suddenly cut down by
tho reaper Death.
"How sad!" ''How mysterious"
many people said.
One who knew him best said: He
was taken away from the. evil to
come" for. alas. though he had great
gifts, and was an influential member
Of the church of God, he often resorted
to artificial stimulants to keep up the
strength which he felt he must have to
conduct his conventions successfully.

A USEFUL LESSON.


Money for DRINK But None for Nsssssa-
II makes the heart sick TO think Of
the misery and degradation TO which
the demon drink subjects those who
have given themselves up to him. The
Philadelphia Methodist vouches for the
truth of this incident:
'Papa, can you please give mo fifty
cents for my spring hat? Most all The
academy girls have theira"
mo, May. can't spare the money. "
The above request was persuasively
made by q sixteen-year-o0 maiden a.
she was preparing tor school one fine
spring morning The refusal came
from the parent In q curt, Indifferent
tone The disappointed girl went TO
school. The father started for his
place of business On his way thitheS
he met friend, and, being hsil-felloss.
well-met. invited him into saloon for
. drink. As usual, there wsre others
there, and the man that could moi
spare his daughter fifty cents for q
hat, treated the crowd. When about
to leave. he laid q half-dollar on the
counter. which just paid for the drinks.
just then the saloonkeeper's dsugh b.
ter entered, and on going behind the
bar said:
Papa. I want fifty cents for my
spring hat"
IAN right" says the dealer. and
taking up the half-dollsr from the
counter, handed it over 10 the girl
who departed, smiling.
Mays father seemed dazed, walked
out alone and said to himself II had
