mountain refuses to 60 to Mahomet,
and il Mahomet has any business
with the mountain it will be necessary
for him to arise, pack his grip and set
forth upon a journey to its base. Cleve-
land must humble himself to Hill. And
quickly, lest his terms rise. Hill must
be recognized as the savior of his party
and must be appealed to as the one
present help TO preserve it from the
wrath to come. Hill will accept moth
ing short of absolute surrender, and
thereby, if his Uncle Charlie is faithful
mouthpiece, Hill has sounded Democ-
racy's doom.
Cleveland can't get upon his knees ;
he's too ponderous. He can't carry New
York unless he does. If he did kneel he
would disgust all the Wumps. With
Hill or without Hill, Stephen G.. is in a
bad way. The World proposes to have
Richard Watson Glider write up Cleve-
land tomorrow, but what avail write
ups when Dana and Hill have the whip
hand?
It's very pretty challenge.

Chapter XXVH.--A Babe In the Wood,
the WHd West ShoW, and Pcck's
Peck of Labor Statistics.
/. Aud it came to pass ttat n babe in
the wood, better known as st. John, chal-
lenged Mckinley to debate with him in
Connecticut. But the great Protector
had compassion on the poor babe and
spared him. Moreover. Williams wtris
aud logic are, as 1t were, great sledgeham-
mers, and therefore in battling with the
babe he would be like one who beateth
the air; for having so little to strike (be-
cause the babe is but a little bag OF wind)
he would wrench himself. Aud so Johnny,
who loveth the sweet cream or notoriety
as kitten loveth ordinary cream. Is
forced to confind himself to strict skim
milk diet.
2. Moreover. the World got up Cor
ruption Fund, or Wild West Show. to
carry Western States Howbeit, the fund
was not christened Corruption; for was
thought that all the people were blind OF
one optic and could see nothing with the
other. But, behold, however innocent the
Western farmers may be. they have heard
of the Anarchist World with its interest
ing foreign cablegrams, written in New
York without the expense of crossing the
Atlantic, and the grangers do, therefore,
closed; for they are minded not to be
caught mapping. Behold, Joseph hath a
political coat Of many colors, even like
the rainbow for variety of hues, and like
unto the chameleon Mugwump for change.
Howbeit, his role of Buffalo Bill in q
Wild West show will not work, and when
Pulitzer attempteth to pulverize the
West he will find himself such small
folk that his own rock Of offence shall
fall upon him and he shall be ground to
powder. Moreover. from the amounts
contributed, the plan TO carry the West
by purchase greatly resembleth the So
called American Desert, and the youths
whiskers of softest down-extensively out
but thinly settled.
3. And lest one thorn In the flesh
should not prove sufficient, Peck, who is
said to abide under the outrageous shell
ter of mighty Hill, had empted peck
of labor statistics upon the soft spots in
the heads of the Mugwumps and upon
the devoted skulls Of the Philistine free
traders So, with a peck of labor statis-
tics Peck doth peck and prod the free
traders for their wanton hardness of heart

The lodge room of Lily Lodge, i. o. o.
f., NJ. u. was filled to its utmost capac-
ity last evening. The important event of
the evening was the presentation of q
handsome oak desk to Past Grand Harry
j. Bascom, for services rendered on the
late excursion committee, he being the
chairman of that body. The early part OF
the evening was spent In receiving the
guests of the evening, there being dele
gates present from Bud Of Hope, Alpha,
Prosperity, PROVIDENCE, Victoria ana
Bellevue lodges.
After the reception. the degree staff Of
Prosperity Lodge. under the direction OF
Joseph Davis, conferred the initiatory de-
gree upon three candidates. The con-
ductor Of the lodge was then called upon
to escort Past Grand Thomas Rison to
the Noble Grand's chair, where he was
presented with a handsome gold badge
by Isaac Creasser, II. p. G. NJ This was
given Brother Rison for disposing of the
largest number of excursion tickets
Then came Past Grand Bascom's turn
and George Nuttall, vice grand OF Pros
perity Lodge, in u well worded speech
gave him the handsome desk that had
peen procured for him as token Of ap-
probation for his labor, performed dur
ing the season of the excursions, as n
large part of the success was due to his
efforts. Brother Bascom responded in q
pleasing manner and was about to
retire from the stage when District
Deputy Grand Master Greenwood re-
quested him to lust wait minute" !"
and he gave Brother Bascom handsome
emblematic watch chain. This ended the
presentation and a generous supply OF
sandwiches, coffee aud other things that
go to make up Lunch, In lodge room,
was served.
The committee who had charge Of the
affair were Thomas Rison, chairman; A.

CAT AND CHOLERA.

The Tammany tiger is not beast of
discretion, else it would not choose the
time when cholera epidemic is threat
ening the country to show its claws.
Health Officer Jenkins of New York,
who is Hillite and one of the great
cats kittens, refuses to recognize the
Presidents proclamation Of twenty
days quarantine for vessels bringing
immigrants, and declares that he will
use his own discretion.
Mr.. Harrison's circular so carefully
avoided treading on DIR. Jenkins toes
that jenkins has no excuse for his atti-
tude towards the federal authorities.
The proclamation contains the reserving
clause, "unless such detention is for
hidden by the laws of the State or the
regulations made Hereunder" This
recognition of Jenkins rights is COM
plete enough SO that any animal not OF
the feline sort would feel its dignity
sufficiently maintained and would cheer
fully give effect to regulations imposed
for the general benefit and approved by
the unanimous voice of the nation. But
the cat is implacable. The cat will
scratch, whatever the consequences.
Jenkins stands upon his technical rights
and he sent the Island up from quaran-
tine yesterday without any application
for the special dispensation required by
the federal circular in the cases of ves-
sells afoat at the time Of issue of the
proclamation.
Jenkins will embarrass the Democracy,
but, perhaps being Hillite. jenkins
doesn't particularly object to that aspect
of affairs. Jenkins may embarrass
the Government, that is more serious
feature of the situation. If Jenkins
persists in his refusal to give effect to
the Presidents proclamation and COM
pels the calling of special session Of
Congress, jenkins will get the worst of
it in the end, and the country will get
the best, from at least two points of
view for it will quarantine vessels,
Jenkins or no Jenkins, and it will learn
by striking illustration how great an
incubus is this Tammany which rides
New York and aches to ride the nation.
The cat is worse than the cholera.

Mr.. Hills defiance Of Mr.. Cleveland
Is passing from the passive into the ac-
tive stage. Up to recent period Dave
has made himself interesting as a fea-
ture of the campaign by what he has
not done. He has not, for example,
congratulated Grover upon his nomina-
tion. He has not dropped in upon Har-
rity at his summer lodgings, close as
their quarters have been for weeks to-
gether. He has not visited Gray Gables
though he scudded by under sail almost
within sight of the Flagstaff of the lone
fisherman.
But now the "nots' are beginning to
b eliminated. Hill has called upon
Mckinley. Hill has inspired Commits
sioner Peck to make bushel of trouble
for Stephen q. Hill has permitted his
personal organ, the New York Sun, to
make open war upon Cleveland's per-
sonsl organ, the World, and is now per-
mitting that same organ to give direct
challenge to the candidate of the
Democracy.
That challenge is as interesting a
piece of literature as has been published
In many moons. 1t states terms upon
which Hill might be expected to capitu-
late, such terms as Stephen q. is in no
danger Of accepting, and 1t intimates
In the plainest language possible that
except on these precise conditions he of
the bald head will refuse to come into
line. There was a preliminary chal-
lenge addressed not to the candidate but
to committee. That preliminary chal-
lenge suggested somewhat imperatively
the advisability of inviting Hill to pre-
pare the Force bill literature for a
Democratic campaign book. The COM
mittee did not see the point exactly and
now comes a message aimed straight at
the head Of Cleveland.
'sIn such a situation as this" said the
Sun yesterday, lit might be proper for
Mr.. Cleveland to write public letter 10
Gov. Hill, saying that, in his earnest
Judgment, the old charge is false and
groundless. and asking him to come for
ward again and apply his great powers
and influence to promote the success of
Che Democracy in the present canvass.
Without some such request, we are
sory TO say, II now seems rather inn
probable that Gov. Hill will again ex-
pose himself to the same malicious ac-
cusations." This Is TO the point The

The Journal continues to blast the
Peck report with its whitening sneer.
That whitening sneer is likely to get
monotonous after long course of such
rot as this:
The only Republicans who would seem
to have any reason to feel dissatisfied
with Commissioner Peck's report are
those on the Senate finance committee
who were able to find au increase of
wages under the Mckinley tariff which
Is so much less than the increase discov-
cred by the New York Commissioner
that the latter's report Is likely to sup
plant the formers as a leading Republi-
can campaign document.
The Journal seems to insinuate that
both Mr.. Aldrich's committee and Mr..
Peck started out to fit fact to theory in
stead Of fitting theory to fact. 1t would
like to hint, if in RHODE ISLAND it quite
dared, that the findings of both reports
were manufactured.
Taking the Journals comment some
what more seriously than it deserves,
we must answer that there is plenty of
reason why the two reports should have
a somewhat different complexion. Mr..
Pecks report deals with but a single
State, and that the largest and most
prosperous in the Union. The report of
the Aldrich committee was based upon
exhaustive investigations made in sew
eral States. But it is significant that
Mr.. Peck is Democrat and that Messrs.
Carlisle and Harris, who signed the
Senate report, are two of the ablest free
trade Democratic members of that body,
besides being men honest enough to
state facts and let theory take care OF
itself.
Senator Aldrich needs no defense.
Mr.. Peck has been most cruelty treated
by his own party press. He is Demo-
crat, n Cleveland appointee. He pre-
pared most of his report before the free
trade plank was ever put into the
Chicago platform, and he energetically
denies the insinuation either that he put
out his figures to influence the election,
or that Mr.. Hill had anything to do
with it. Mr.. Peck adds; 1.-The
simple fact is the Mckinley act has
proved a benefit to the manufacturing
and industrial interests Of this State. -
Dearer TO the Journals heart is the
free trade liar than the man who merely
tells the truth and does the work for
which he's paid.

DALTON AND HIS REVOLVER.
A Story That the Hunted Man Held
ITO His PursNers.

Deputy Sheriff Ham contributes an
other Dalton story which is interesting
aud very amusing in some Of It's details.
The deputy seems to fully believe that the
man reported to have been seen up In Clio
cester Is Dalton. and it seems about as
hard to get anything definite about him as
IL was about the man in the Attieooro
woods W hich makes it seem like the same
man.
But the story: Mr.. Ham says that the
town sergeant and himself were notineu
that the man had been seen at his house
again Yesterday, and that they went there
and found kettle with egg shells. herps'
etc. In it, also beans, corn and other arti-
cles OF diet. but no chicken bones. There
was no one there, however. woman
who had been out picking berries report
ed that she saw man go through the
woods. But the funny part Is that reiat-
ing to the Obadiah Brown mansion. "A
telephone message was received at Cen
tredale that the town sergeant was want
ell, aud Mr. Ham went down with TWO
officers of North Providence and Officer
Bates of Johnston. He found that some
body had gotten into the mansion by
tearing away q cellar door, and after
getting inside, breaking q register ana
getting upstairs.
Some persons went to the building to
look It over and saw man inside very
scantily dressed; in fact, with only his
shirt on. lie looked very much like Dai-
ton and when the alarm was given ne
fed and was followed, but stopped and,
pointing pistol at the pursners, told
them that they hadn't better go any far
ther. lie then departed. but nothing Is
said of the clothing which he is supposed
to have left behind him.
There is considerable doubt whether a
man who has been hunted all over New

into houses and making any extended
stay, and yet he might do so. IL Will
