IL his sermon in Washington last

IN BIS sermon in Washington last
Sunday a Methodist preacher SAID
the late Carter Harrison, Mayor of Chi.
cago, was the nominee of the party OF
civic laxity, of the very parties inter
ested in the violation of law, that his
assassination was retributive justice
and that he died as the fool dieth. On
the same day a Presbyterian preacher
there said the Mayors own policy was to
blame for his death, that a corrupt
ecclesiasticism, organized to rule the
large cities, must take its share OF the
crime, that the assassins of Lincoln were
Catholics, and that Prendergast was
"a good Catholic" Such preachers
nav please their respective congreSa
tons, but that they do infinite harm to
the cause i'll which they are engaged,
when their sermons are published IN
the newspapers, goes without saying,
Mr.. Harrison may have died as the
fool dieth but they certainly live as
the fool liveth.

Mr.. CRISP on THE TARIFF BILL
Speaker Crisp, who is in Chicago, in
speaking of the tariff bill to be submit
ted to Congress says:
81 believe Mr.. Wilson's committee
will recommend a reduction of the Ia
riff to a revenue basis in accordance
with the declarations Of the national
democratic platform. The tax on re-
fined sugar may be reduced considera-
bly,, but the tax on whisky and beer
and tobacco may be increased as csti-
mated. / believe that an increase OF
one cent on whisky will add 100000
to the revenue. The present tax on
whisky is so cents, and say it is in
creased to 30 that means an increase
of 100000 to the revenues of the
government Speaker Crisp said that
besides the tariff bill the House would
come to n vote OH the bill to take OIL
the ten per cent. tax on State banks.
Mr.. Crisp said the democrats might
lose few votes in some sections of the
South on account of passing the repeal
bill, but he did not think it would
amount to anything serious as the
South generally believed in the demo-
cratic party. He did not think the
democrats would lose single southern

ing a pocket-book containing S1S7. Her
husband hastened from Cleveland to her
assistance, and as she denied her guilt, he en-

the S1ST was found in her room, and Mrs.
Young, it turns out is 10 less personge than

AN OLD MANS DARLING.-Paul
Hern, seventy years old, of Hacken-
sack, n. j., veteran of the civil war,
recently got $1,000 of back pension,
and while in happy mood sent an adj
vertisement for young wife to a New
York matrimonial bureau. He thus
became acquainted with catherine
Harrington a blonde soubrette, at
tractive and about thirty. She spent
three days at Hern's house last week,
and on Sunday entertained her alleged
brother, who came up from New York.
The couple worked the badger game to
perfection. Hern was accused of win
ming the affections of the mans wife,
aud violence was threatened unless he
produced a thousand dollars. The
stranger also threatened to sue him for
$4,000. Hern raked up 500, all he
had, and the couple then made their
victim drive them to the Tappan sta
ton, on the West Shore road. Justice
Smith, of Park Ridge, has issued war
rants for the badgers.
