Brethren who are arraigned for heresy
have more garlandS tied about their
brows by the prosecution than did the
white oxen Of Athene," says the Interior
lPres.) Of Chicago. "EXpressions of broth
erly love are heaped upon them, and
the prosecutor, before he proceeds to bus
mess, stands like the pictures in the win
dOWs Of Catholic bookstores, exposing
and pointing with the iOre-fnger Of each
hand to his bleeding heart. All this is a
part OF the modern ceremonial. But
there are two objections to it which might
be worth considering. In the first place,
it IS not exactly fair TO the accused. 1t is
pouring lew drops Of nitroglycerine,
which looks for all the world like honey.
and has some of the same sweetness Of
taste, into his cartridge-shells. Ii gives
what they call purch0Se TO his ammu-
milton. In the second place, it is toe Sc
we're test of the confidence OF those who
witness the proceedings. Very few Of
them respond to it. 1t does not react
tavOrably. Now, therefore, however
sincere ii may be-and we would not cast
doubt on its sincerity-it does not appear
to he eXpedicnt. With its natural, in
grained, dyed-in-the-woOl conservatism,
the Interior prefers the good honest,
tlat-footed ways Of old. which appeal to
verybody's sense of sQuareness and
candOr: Moderator and brethren this
brother is a hereto, and l propose to
prove it. Mr.. Clerk, swear the first wit
ness If you come right down to a close
inspection Of the subject, and that is what
the common sense OF mankind does with
wonderful quickness and accurcy, il Will
appear that there is more evidence OF
brotherly love in the old way than in the
new"

CURRENT COMMENT,

Rutland, VT. has become city. As a
first mayor, upright. bustling. uncompro-
missing foe of evil. friend of municipal
progress. why not nominate Robert
Angelo Perkins. editor of the Rutland
Herald Boston Record.
We may add that the popular iudg-
ment on eX-Superintendent Palmer is
eXcellently shown by his vote for re-elec-
ton. which was 10 out of a total of 2G2.
That vote also illustrates the powerful
influence of our esteemed contemporary,

reward for knocking of third of the
Republican majority by nominating Full
Ter. 1t really was the first help of anv
consequence that the Democrats received

ciated.- IIardwick Gazette.
II is evident that the fool-killer has
been in a state of inEOcuous desuetude
for some time. Judging from the unusual
crop of fools that are being harvested as
the result of the recent campaign. The
newspaper accounts of the payment of
idiotic wagers are striking evidences
that the fools are not all dead.-rLud-

However individual opinion may differ.
the event will prove that the legislature
of 1892 has taken long step in advance
by giving Vermont the town system of

of hardship to individual districts. but the

drawn with purpose to do equal Justice

THE Wool SITUATION,

The Boston Commercial Bulletin of
Saturday says: "The one thing which
the new regime will insist upon is free
wool. The question is merely one of
time. Mr. Cleveland has semi-offically
assured the public that there will be no
extra session of Congress. As the sd
Congress does not meet before December.
1898, free wool is practically out of the
question till the spring or summer of
1894 at the very earliest. New heavy
weight samples of woolens for cOnsump-
tiOn in the winter of 1891 are nearly
ready. 1t is upon these goods that the
mills will run during the spring months.
As far as these goods are concerned,
therefore, the condition of trade cannot
be changed nor the demand for wool
very materially lessened. There has
been no slump. There is an easlness in
the price of territory woods, which are in
exceptionally heavy stocks, but there is
great firmness in the price of washed
fleecngs and low medium combings, of
which there is an exceptionally light
stock. In view of the fear to buy wool
felt by some manufacturers the Bulletin
has collected estimates of the full stock
on sale in the six chief markets of the
country. Ii finds total of sixty-siX
million pounds as against fifty-four
million pounds on January ! last"

Hold Up and Good Sum
Secured.

VAN buren,, ARK, August "a
James S. Wilson, agent of the Kansas
and Arkansas Valley Railroad at
Nowata, I. T., station 14O miles west
of here, was held up and robbed at a
late hour Monday night by three men,
supposed to be members of the Dalton
gang of train robbers and despera-
does.
Wilson resigned few days intend
ing to take trip to San Francisco.
Yesterday Travelling Auditor Wright
and Travelling Passenger Agent
johnson arrived for the pur-
pose of checking up his books. They
were engaged in their work last night
when the bandits entered and covered
them with revolvers, at the same time
commanding them to throw up their
hands. The order was promptly
obeyed. Wilson, the retiring agent,
was then compelled to open the safe.
While two of the desperadoes held
Wright, johnson and Wilson at bay,
the third emptied the contents of the
safe in a sack. About $500 in cash
was secured, one-third of 1t being the
personal property of Wilson, the bal
ance belonging to the railroad and ex-
press companies.
After relieving Wilson, johnson and
Wright Of gold watch each and what
money they had in their pockets, the
highwaymen backed out the door and
disappeared in the darkness. Ass
as the railroad men recovered from
the surprise they gave the alarm and
posse started in pursuit, but nothing
has:. been heard from them. 1t is
known that the Daltons have been in
that vicinity for three days and there
is no doubt that the robbery was CON-
mitted by the gang. If the posse
overtakes them a desperate battle will
ensue as both sides are armed to the
teeth.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
NATIONAL BIENNIAL ENCAMP-

Now in Progress.

KANSAS CITY, August 24.-Popular
interest is conferred in the biennial
Pythian encampment in the Camp
shaw, which presents truly martial
appearance. 1t is occupied by some
10000 members of the Uniform Rank
from every State and territory in the
Union and from Canada and Mexico.
The only attractive thing in connec-
ton with to-day's programme being
competitive drilling. Drilling
began promptly at 9 O'Clock this
morning and viii continue each day
of the encampment until each entry
has had an opportunity to drill.
Camp Shaw was an early scene of
hustle and animation. All through
the great wildernessof tents, prepara-
tions for drill are going on. knights
of all stages, in full dress and undress,
hurrying to and fro; mounted order
lies, booted and Spurred, galloped up
and down the row of tents; black por-
tiers and camp followers with vastly
important airs hustled.about, FURNISH
ing equipments and plying brushes to
make sir knights spick and span for
the drill. Visitors and curiosity hunt
ers in multitudes almost overrun the
camp, getting in everybody's way,
lodging divisions of footmen and
scampering out of the way of
golloping horsemen. Finally at
8 o'clock sharp, the first Kan
sas regiment commanded by
Col. H. L. Alden, appeared on the pa
rade grounds and went through the
various evolutions prescribed by the
rules of the contest. Then followed du-
ring the morning various other reg
iments and divisions Of battallions.
The drills were judged by commit
tee of army officers from Fort Leaven-
worth, and inspected by Maj-Gen.
Carnahan and staff of the uniform
rank.
