Next Saturday night there will be "
grand consolidated exhibition Of the
sseben cum 'leben" politicians and can !
didates at the s.cake walk in <Harmonia
hall. No extra admission fee will be

rs
Emperor William will prosecute the
Cologne Gazette for the disloyal manner
in which it commented upon his Bran
denbnrg speech. America, with it's
thousands Of newspapers continually
pouring out their. wrath on the powers
that be, would be poor country for the
German Emperor to live in. Life would
be made one continual round Of burden
to man here who would have the hardi-
hood to take notice Of so simple matter
az the little disloyalty comment above
mel toned.
Capt r. H. Pratt, superintendent OF
the Carlisle Indian school, said that
Catholics got more than double as much
of Indian school appropriations as all
other denominations combined, and &C.
cused the Catholic church of paying con-
gressmen to attack the national schools.
congressman Mansur, Stockdale and
Pendleton resented this by having the
$1,000 annually paid Pratt stricken from
the Indian appropriation till. This Is
the quietest and most effective way to
answer such cattle. A gentlemanly at
tempt to convince such of their error is
as sensible as seeking to bore into
granite block with par-boiled parsnip.

The republican press IS conducting an
animated fight between Mayor Winston
and Charles M. Foote. As the delay IN
getting to work at the Exposition build
ing to prepare it for the naming OF a
corpse for the fall wake, the abcense of
r, B. Langdon at the Hot Springs, the
efforts to secure $50 delegates from Min
neapolis for the repu blican State conven-
ton, the hot contest for republican
delegates to the national. convention and
the Dead Sea fruit character of their
hopes for municipal supremacy have
combined to churn the brains OF repub-
lican leaders, visions of conflicts ara not
surprising. Messrs. Foote and Winston
laugh heartily together over their fight.

Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll has begun a
suit for SANDER against DR.. Dixon, pastor
Of the Harmon Place Baptist church,
Brooklyn, for $4,000. The purity and
sanctity of many home has been vio-
lated by the infidel teachings OF Inger-
soil, is charged direct by Rev. Dixon, and
since receiving the summons to appear.
in court he has asserted that there will
be no hinching on his part, but that he
stands ready to meet the arch~intidel and
prove his assertions. We believe he has
q good case and trust success will crown
his efforts, but man without belief must
naturally have little OR no regard for an
oath and thus it is no easy task to- con-
vct such man as Ingersoll purports
to be-.

It seems unfortunate that such an i'm
.peccable organization rs the Union
League should have such a blighting in
fluence upon John Goodnow's political
progress. The fact alone that he is an
officer of that body, he says, prevents
him from taking the oath of office and
assuming the duties of mayor of the city
after the next election. The election
would only DO slight mist in his way,
to walk through but no obstacle at all.
If the constitution of the League allowed
him to be candidate bis election would
be but a matter of form. The League,
which according to it's own admission has
been the city's vigilant guardian in dark
ness and sunlight, piercing hypocrltical
shams witt. it's Ithuriel spear and exhibit
ing them in their unmasked commences
and, according to John Gooduow, in his
speech to the colored club last Monday
night reforming all things, saloons, broth
els and gambling houses, will not be SO
unpatriotic as to keep John out Of the
mayors chair when, by simply burning
it's constitution, John could be permitted
10 bob to the top like submerged cork.
