TIME TO DIVIDE,

The Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth has written another letter to the police commissioners and has sent with it some sample bottles of whiskey with labels giving the places and dates where they were bought under the eyes and noses of the police in saloons which were open on Sunday contrary to law.
 It will be interesting to see how the police commissioners treat this letter and the object lessons accompanying it. If they place it and them lon file" they will make a very impressive ad- dition to the evidence against them selves in their own archives. And then their record can be rounded out by the formal charge that with the knowledge, connivance and consent of police commissioners laws of the State are habitually and extensively violated, patronage is exchanged for protection, and judgment is perverted in the cases of notorious law-breakers
 Are all the members of the board like ostriches with their heads hidden in the sand? Cannot some of them see the strength of the case that has already been made out against the board? Do they wish to share in the condemnation which is already general and will soon become specific? Have they such an interest in soda water or anything else that they can afford to brave the sure disapproval and the scorn of the people?
 It is time for those members of the board who want to do their duty to cut loose from those who don't. Those labeled whiskey bottles mean much.

Pernambuco. Dee. 2S-The prepara-
tons TO receive the rebel warships were
continued to-day, and the excitement in
crea sed ashore. The Nictheroy's crew
appeared to be o~verjoyed at the prospect
of finally having a brush with the enemy.
These feelings increased In intensity
when the news reached here from Bahia
that Admiral de Mello had arrived there,
and had thus put an end to all mystery
concerning his whereabouts and had
terminated all doubt as to his intentions
In coming north. The rebel warships are
now reported to be coaling at Bahia pre-
paratory TO sailing for Pornambuco, with
the intention of capturing or destroying
the Nictheroy, after which, it is said, if
Il ey are victorious, they VIII turn their
after ton TO the America. The advices
from Bahia also say that Admiral de
M6llo will make an attack unon the
Nictheroy in broad daylight, and it Is
now said that the dynamite cru ser mly
rot give him the chance of trying to
cut her out in these waters. but will
steam outside the harbor and engage the
rebel admiral there.

The Crisis nj Hand

Washington, Dec. 27.-Aiinister Men
dtl ca of Brazil, believes that a crisis
III the Brazilian revolution is at hand,
and that the decisive stroke will be made
this week. He says that the two great
irorclads of the rebel commander, Mello,
cid the tiot,Ila of little torpedo craft
hastily ~improvised by President Peixoto
are rapidly nearing zach other. The min
lister says that a commission is almost
c,Iifin to occur efore next Mondly. He
recognizes that the little torpedo and
dynamite boats are Tremendously over
matched by the rebel ships, but he counts
much on the ability of the small boats
to maneuyer quickly and to discharge
their novel explosives. Senior Mendonca
is hopeful and confident that the Meilo
fleet will be defeated and that the Peix-
OTTO ships will then be able TO turn at
tention TO the other rebel admiral, Cana,
who is in Rio harbor.

Chamberlain, s. d., Dec. 2I.-Indian
Agent Treon, Chief Clerk Hayes and sew
eral other gentlemen, in going from
Crow Creek agency to the new Lower
Brule agency, had quite a serious acct
dent the other day. AS they were going
up from the Missouri river on the west
side of that stream, their sleigh turned
over, throwing the occupants out. They
fell quite a distance. Mr.. Hayes sus-
tanned a dislocated arm, and all Of the
party were quite seriously shaken up.
The party went to the new agency for
the. purpose of paying the Indians for
cattle which they have turned in to the
government for issue purposes, $1,000
being disbursed on this account. While,
of course, the government may as we'll
buy issue cattle from the Indians as any
body else, the peculiar feature is that the
government buys these cattle from the
Indians and then turns around and gives
the cattle back to them. BY this opera
ton 1t viii be seen that the Indians do
not get very much the worst of the b-r-
gain.

she claimed seyeral times to have beei
uoisor ed by her husbGnd. She once I'D
dressed her husblau, saying:
!, st drink you gave contained poison,
md | am dying" The husband stood by
during her death struggles, nor showing
any feeling and not denying the state
nents of the dying woman. He after
wards, when arrested, stated that his
wife had charged that he gave her poison,
but he then denied it. The parties had
been married about two years, and the
woman had a bad reputation when he
married hei, but he claimed she had
promised TO reform. Armstrong returned
about W. weeks ago from North Dakota,
whtre he had been spending the summer.
They had not gotten along well since
then, the woman having run him out Of
the house a few nights before with an
ak. Both had beel drinking hea"ily Of
late, and the woman had been Oh . spree
pCre or less all the time for the past two
n.cnths. Armstrong told his neighbours
the day his wife dieG that he could not
live with her any loI ger, and was Z, ing
TO leave her. The wife had also made
the statement that he had threatened hec
l:fe On a number of occasions. The hus-
band had heretofore boILe a fairly good
reputation. An inquest was held over
the remains. The stomach was removed
from the body, and will probably be an
trial.
