A CITY OF SNEAKs.
John swinton Thus Describes the City OF
New

New York.
NEW YORK, Oct John Swinton,
the well known friend of the working
man who ID spoken of as the Populist
candidate for mayor OF New York, said
last night AT meeting of Populists in
his characteristic style. that New York
il the most despicabIe city in the world.
t'Why is it" said he. s'that this city has
always had a bad reputation so far as
the progress Of liberty and rights of men
are cOucernedI In the Revolutionary
war it was the last city to be cleared Of
the Tories; in the civil war it was the hot
bed OF secession, and IN the present great
conflict for the emancipation of labor
and the recognition of the rights of men
it is thousand years behind Paris and
ten thousand years behind London. San
Francisco, Chicago, IN fact every city Of
the United States is At least one hundred
years in advance of New York, with the
single exception OF Philadelphia
1T seems to me- continued Mr.. Swim
ton, "that it IS the fate of New York to
be inhabited by a tribe of sneaks, cow
ards and traitors. l wish we had some
great leader to bring it up to the level
say of Madrid or Copenhagen. What we
VINO believe in human emancipation need
is 4 leader for our cause like DR.. Park
hurst Why is it that there are but 200
people here tonight. while DR.. Parkhurst
crowds any hall IN which he speaks to
its utmost capacity.
There is more misery in New York
tonight than in any city on the globe.
Why do not the people rise? We have
as our president a fat butcher. No
butchery by any imperial leader WAS
ever greater or more brutal than that
which Grover Cleveland caused to be
done by national troops IN Indiana and
illinois. Why do not the people vote
themselves out of purgatory9 l say to-
night to oppressed and downtrodden hui
manity in this country, Vote yourselves
the plumber of the Vanderbilts and the
Goulds.'
'Ahl you think this is too radical, do
your Well say TO you that you are but
halfbreed PopuIists. You are tainted
with the dry rot of this shameless, inhu-
name city of New York.
Are the workingmen crazy? 1t would
seem SO with the power of voting them
selves anything and everything in the
world / suppose they will walk to the
polls as usual and vote to continue in
slavery that is worse than death. God
help them this winter, for it is going to
be one of awful distress

A few days since a woman entered q
certain hat store. She had in tow a boy
of about 10 years of age-that is, his body
was 10 years old, but his face looked like
q man of 80.
II want a cheap hat for this boy.
don care what it is so long as it is cheap"
The halter pulled over his stock and
finally presented to the woman a hat worth
about so cents
Il guess this will satisfy you,'' he said.
&C 1t is SO cents''
All right; I'll take it. I wanted some
thing cheap for the boy to have fits in"
and then she went out.-Syracuse Post

Had A RIGHT TO HISS.
A New York Judge Holds IT III All Right
to show DfsapprovaL


NEW York. Oct "A man named
Elsner went TO prominent local theatre
last night and Kissed each song, dance
and sketch" OF the performance as soon
as it was finished. He was arrested and
taken to police station and arraigned
on a charge of intoxication and disor-
derby corduct- He claimed he had
right to hiss. so long as he did IL at the
end of the act and disturbed no one.
Justice Voorhis ruled the prisoner was
within his rights
"None here he added. stestifes that
you Kissed during any of the pieces. 10
is common sense that if a man has the
right to applaud he also has the right 20
hiss. l DO not know of any decision
upon this point, but I simply use COM
mon sense, and / therefore discharge the
prisoner"
so one may hiss after every act ia
New York; hiss loudly and continuously
until everyone's sense OF the rankness of
the show has been fully satisfied.
