ICoMMI-NICATED.


Much has been said about our splen-
did organization in this city during the
late political contest. Organization re-
suits in bringing out the voters on cleo
ton days. I am under the impression
that our victory was not the result of
effort on the part of our committee, but
because we had no enemy in front to
fight. Our majority could have been
| 100 instead Of 500, if the splendid or
eanization had been organized. AS
an evidence of the truth of the as
scrtiou. the Second ward alone failed to
poll over 100 white votes. 1t is true
that we had club room, where host
of aspirants for soft places met, smoked
pipes and cigars-and lager beer
counter not more than eight yards from
the speakers stand. If that is organiza-
ton we have had a splendid one. The
same kind of organization would have
beaten us in New York, Indiana and
Illinois. And the Force bill would
now be threatening us. Now our rep
resentative in Congress appoints this
splendid committee as his guardian.
In fact, they are requested to nominate,
appoint and confirm. And the commit
tee make haste to grasp the power.
But nine-tenths of the democratic voters
solemnly protest they ask Mr.. Mere
,lith to countermand the order until the
rank and file can be heard from. We
are democrats. We object to snap
Judgment We want no presumption,
committee to say who shall serve Us.
If their wishes shall govern our repre-
sentative, we shall hold the representa-
tive responsible. T. Y. r.

CANNON BALLS OF HEtvEN-Thc Sioux
Indians have a legend that is of interest now
telling as in does how an opposing army was
put to flight by shower of meteoFities The
legend also explains peculiar layer of stones
found on the shores on the Cannon Ball river.
Many years ago the Sioux and Crows met
in deadly conflict on the banks of the Cannon
Ball river. The Crows were the stronger, so
Red Dog the medicine man Of the Sioux,
PRAYED for aid from heaven.
The Crows were about to conquer, and Red
Dog was Just about TO give the signal for the
members of the band to kill themselves when
there appeared an OMNIBUS gathering in the
sky. The heavens assumed a greenish hue. q
few drops of rain fell, and then there came
something harder.
Pebbles began dashing down upon the fight
ing Indians. aud the pebbles turned TO larger
stones until they assumed a size that meant
death to all that were struck. Down poured
the cannon balls of heaven upon the Crows,
but wonderful to relate, not one Of the Sioux
was hit by the missiles from the sky.
From that day the Sioux were unmolested
by the other tribes Chicago Tribune.

Mr.. GORDON RESTING FROM THE
CAMPAIGNs.-Mr. Basil Gordon, of Rap
pahannock county, Va, chairman Of
the Virginia democratic executive COM
mittee, is visiting his mother at her
home in this city, and trying to rest
from the fatigue OF the recent cam
paign. The remarkable majority given
fJr Mr.. Cleveland by Virginia was due
in large measure to Mr.. Gordon :
work as chairman of the executive
committee. The victory. Mr.. Gordon
SAYS, was due to the thorough organi-
zation Of the party and in making every
democrat, as far rs he could be reach
ed. an earnest worker for the cause.
the third party, he said, came as Il
blessing in disguise, because it put
every democrat on his mettle. The
total vote of Virginia was about the
same as that of four years ago, when
Virginia gave about l 800 majority for
Cleveland. The third party this year
took away about 5000 democratic
votes. yet the campaign work was so
well done that enough conversions
we're made to run the democratic ma
iority up to $4,000 Mr.. Gordon would
not talk about his possible candidacy
for the governorship of Virginia, say
ING that he would devote all his time
now to Strengthening out his private
business affairs, which have been al
most entirely neglected during the
campaign.-Boitimore Sun.

THE MEN who ordered the strike at
Homestead last summer are now calling
for contributions, for the alleged pur-
pose of keeping the families of their
poor dupes from starving. There is no
doubt of the fact that to please them
selves they have caused great suffering
and misery, and that their victims are
objects of charity, but caution sug-
gests that the charitably disposed
would do we'll to entrust the disburse-
ment of their contributions to other

BANK RoBEERs.-A daring robbery
occurred yesterday afternoon in Allen
town. Pa. Two young men entered
the Farmers National bank and with
drawn revolvers demanded all the
money on hand. Cashier Hutchinson
and an assistant were the only en-
plovees of the bank present. A weap-
on was held at the head OF each and
one Of the robbers backed up this forci-
BILE demand with the words: we'll
blow your heads off if you don't
give all your stuff up at once
Cashier Hutchinson handed over
about $4,000 which lay on the
counter before him. Then one of
the robbers compelled the cashier and
the clerk to 90 to the wall and turn
their heads, while the robbers walked
backwards out of the door. In a mo-
ment the cashiers courage returned
and they rushed out after the robbers.
The cashier had GRABBED pistol in the
bank, and he Immediately began
firing at the fleeing thieves. The rob-
bers returned the fire and the exchange
of shots and the cries of Hutchinson
and the clerk soon aroused the village
and score of persons were soon in
pursuit. About two squares from the
bank the robbers were captured.

SENATOR PLArT, republican, says the
republicans of the Senate have no idea
of assisting in any way the passage OF
the separate tariff bills sent over from
the House at the last session of the
present Congress. But Mr.. Holman,
good, easy man, says he thinks the re-
publican Senators will assist The demo
Gratis in their efforts to benefit the peo-
pie of the country. Democrats do help
the republicans to advance the public
good in the rare instances in which the
latter are engaged in such work, but
when republicans assist democrats
in such work, comets on the straight
shoot for this world will not be DETECTED
and so OIL at tangent, as was the case
with the last one.
