The Rev. DR.. A. B. Leonard, at the Omaha
General Conference, said among other good
things this:
We are strong on resolutions, but weak at
the ballot-box. The greatest trouble with us
temperance people is that we do a tremen-
dous amount of ballooning: We pass great
resolutions denOuneing the liqnor traffic, and
publish them to the world as the expression
of our convictions; then we get in a balloon
and soar aloft. Meanwhile the saloon-keeper,
willy politician that he is, fixes up the caucus,
makes his slate, dominates a ticket and tele-
phones up to US: Come down, good people.
come down. We have done all the hard
work, and all you will nave to do is to come
Town and vote" So we come down and vote
the ticket the rum seller fixes up, pass some
o e.resolutions, and go up and balloon for
three hundred and sixty-fve days more.

val. applied for admission to the press
gallery. 1t was but natural that she
should do so, as the seats Used by the
correspondents are the best in the house,
and back of the gallery is comfortable
room for writing. When the fact that
Miss Kimhall had applied became known
1t occasiOned some comment; first, be-
cause 1t was the first application re-
ceived from telegraphic correspond
ent of her sex and no others are ad-
mitted to the gallery: second, be-
cause it was feared that some of the
members. forgetting her presence,
might let out an observation upon some
recent exhibition of an alleged states
man in terms which would CRATE harsh
ly on the ears Of the young lady. Be-
sides this there were few who at first
opposed the granting of the application
lest it open the doors to other women
whose work does not require the use of
the telegraph. Such in the main was
the "greqt opposition" to Miss Kimball.
The application was granted without
DELAY, and she is and has been for some
time as privileged to enter the gallery
as any of its oldest occupants. And
this, too, without any fight Oh her part.
Neither was there on either side any
thing said OF done ill-befitting the con-
duet of a lady or gentleman. There is
10 friction over the result, and no one
has been discomfOrted. Moreover, SO
far from alternating any of her first ac-
0uaintances by her entrance to the gal
lery, she has made friends of all she has
met, and there is not member IN the
gallery who would, were it in his
power, bar the door against her. By
her quiet manners, devotion to her
work and her ready wit she has Won
the respect of all, and also their sincere
wishes for her ultimate success in the
profession to which she is most agree
able acquisition.

WILL IMPORT AN EXPERT
To Examine the Accounts of Burns
Under the Caarg es of the
TYpothet8.
Burns Says He Is Not Afraid, and
Thinks Something Will
Yet Drop.

The members of the city council are
considerably exercised over the serious
charges preferred by the St. Paul Typoth-
etse, and the startling communication
received by the assembly the evening
before was the theme of Interested COM
ment Yesterday. The resolution asking
the mayor to appoint an expert printer
to investigate the claims of j. I'll. Burns,
the city and county job printer, will
probably reach the mayor today. The
charges are unequivOcal, and should an
investigation fail to develop the fraud
charged, it Will certainly place the of
ticers of the Typothet@ in a very en-
barrassing position, to say the least:
The mayor was i'll yesterday, and
able to spend but little time in his Of
fee, hence no expression could be had
from him.
j. II. Burns, however, was found in
his office. He expressed no alarm at the
outcome, but was not ready to make
statement for publication.
1T is the work of few jealous enc
miles," he vouchsafed. II can hardly
say that | am at all surprised, for have
heard rumbings and threats for some
time that the Ty pothete were after my
scalp. But they won't get it, assure
you. When they charge me with fraud
they had best make a comparison OF my
claims with those that were paid for
printing before | was elected city
printer. The bills are all matter OF
record, and any Ole can inspect them.
While it is an undeniable fact that
there has beena big per cent more print
ing the past year, the cost to the city ana
county is really less than it has been
for five years past. What do
YOU think of that? Everybody must
know that have actually
done more printing than the Pioneer
did during any corresponding space OF
time, and yet my claim is less. This is
the fact in the case, and the citizens
may prepare themselves TO hear some :
thing drop before many days. court
an investigation, but ] insist that 1t
must De done by an expert and by man
who is not under the domination of the
internal Typothetae. 1t should be done
by an outsider, who is perfectly diSin-
terested and cannot be Influenced"
In this connection it may be we'll to
add that it was intimated yesterday that
a Minneapolis man vii likely he
charged with the duty of making the in
yestigation demanded by the assembly.
The mayor will probably take early
action, despite the fact that Mr.. Open
helms resolution has not been before
the board of aldermen.

handsome dinner the guests were placed
OH either side of long. slender table
terminating at each end in cOnven-

violets and other purple flowers extend

covers.
Over that part of the dinner cloth that
fell from the sides of the table were
fastened white Madras dotted with
