A Democratic Prayer.
Composed by a PopaIiat.

Composed by Popoiist.
Oh, thou great and almighty
Cleveland! Thou art great beyond
all others. Thou art powerful, for
thou holdest the Offices in the hol-
low of thou hand. Oh, master,
thou art beyond all comprehension
Before thee there was none other,
neither shall there be any after
thee, for thou shalt be our King.
Oh, mighty Cleveland we worship
thee on the altar of allegiance to
thee. Kick US out of the White
House, give the Offices to our en-
emies, sell US into captivity-to
Wall street. We will worship thee
and be satisfied, for is it not written
that the dogs shall eat the crumbs
that fall from their masters table?
Before thee, mighty chief, we bow,
we lie down and crawl, we eat dirt.
We swear that We have lied all the
balance of our days, we asked for
silver when we should have asked
for gold, we asked for more money
when we should have asked for less.
We asked for better prices when we
should have asked for less, we asked
for the repeal of the Mckinley tariff
when we should have asked to have
let it alone. Thou, O! mighty
Cleveland, seest these things better
than we do, thou knowest better
than all of US put together. We are
a stencil in the nostrils of thy royal
fairness. We are not fit to put fish
worms on thy hook when thou
goest fishing on Decoration Day,
hence thou hast purchased device,
even a tle-shaped device. We
worship thee. Among all our tribe
thou couldst not find one for Sec
ond ruler over us, and thou givest
US Gresham, the captain of the
hosts of our enemies, to rule over
US. Oh, mighty Cleveland, we wor-
ship thee and none other but thee.
If we have erred it is because of the
false prophets, Jefferson and Jack
son, they misled us. Pardon US, oh !
mighty chief, and never again will
we believe anything they taught.
Sit though on us with the avoirdu-
pois Of thy wrath. Make monkeys
and dogs Of us to please thy Wall
street friends. Give US great chunks
of wisdom as thou seest fit for which
we will give you great gobs of sweat
and mountains of products. Give
US an office occasionally. Forgive
our political sins even as we sur.
render our manhood to thee. Lead
us not into temptation of the Pop
ulist but deliver us of all the evils
of more money, better prices and
less debts; give US gold; give US
debts; give us more Greshams
give US office; give US our political
creed and we will ever sing thy
praise as long as we can vote.

Tom had been dragged short dis

Not Proof Enough That He Was CON-
nected With the Lottery.
The case of Fong Noy, charged with
conducting a lottery on street was called
in the Police Court yesterday, L. Z. hart
appearing for the defense.
Captain Bradley testified that he de-
manded admission to 3l2 street, and was
let in by Noy.
He found in the back room lottery
drawing and outfit, which he captured.
he arrested the defendant.
Look Hoy testified that what Bradley
thought was a schedule o. drawing was
used for that purpose, and also for Chl-
nese primer. He explained the various
paraphernalia captured and their uses.
Z. G. Hart, attorney for the defense,
moved that the defendant be discharged,
as the prosecution had entirely failed to
prove that he had any connection with
the alleged lottery.
The City Attorney objected, as he
thought that the evidence connected the
defendant with the lottery outfit found.
The court thought it clear that
lottery was contemplated or carried
on. The only question remaining,
then, was as to the connection of the de-
fendant with the lottery. The theory of
the prosecution was that the defendant,
in opening the door to the room, showed
himself to be the proprietor. Ii might,
however, be the case that although he
opened the door, he had no connection
with the game. He did not think the
evidence would warrant him in finding
the defendant guilty, and therefore found
him not guilty.
