I see al account of a sort Of revival
meeting held by Mr.. Willie Catch-Pol
lard Breckenridge at Frankfort, KY.
where, 1T is averred by newspaper report,
the band played the "GiIl I Left Be-
hind Me-" as Willie was escorted to the
platform. It is not stated whether this
musical gem was settled upon before
hand or not, but if not, and if it was hit
upon by the musicians in a ~spontaneity
of enthusiasm, it must be admitted that
it was strikingly appropriate.
The Chautauqua at Devils Lake has
passed, and not a solitary sea serpent or
phantom ship Is reported to have been
seen. Even the croak of the bull frog
might have been magnifed into the
boom of a signal Of distress by some
mystic, mythic phantom craft, but the
opportunity has slipped from the grasp
OF the Devils Lakere. This dereliction
must be corrected another year, sven if a
new style of soda water has to be intro
duced among the Chautauquans.
1t is gratifying to learn that Chauncey
Depew thinks strikes can be avoided.
Both Mr.. Depew and MI. Pullman we're
very successful in avoiding the present
one. MI. Depew was separated from the
scenes of trouble by several miles Of
land, at the end of which was quite a
large pond.o of salty water. Mr.. Pullman
was inhaling sea breezes at a pleasant
watering place, a considerable distance
from the madding crowd. I think both
OF these two persons should apply for a
patent upon the ways of avoiding strikes,
without delay.
Editor Patterson Of the Winona Times
tells Editor Streeter of the Willlamsport
Record that he will answer a 3.column
article of the latter gentleman as soon as
the Times disposes of the strike. Every
one hopes that the Times will hurry up
and dispose of the strike. The Times
has been a little slothful owing to the
warm weather, and has allowed the
strike to progress longer than it should
have done. But all that will be forgiven
now, and the eyes of all the people will
be glued with eager scrutiny upon the
Times, while it fixes up the re- adjustment.
Geo. Gould and Russell Sage are
foreclosing $11,C00,0OO of Union Pacific
bonds. This proves that each Of these
gentlemen still possesses a few dollars to
tide him over the hard times. Since
Jay Gould forsook the terrestrial realm,
IN an ambitious desire to water a little
of the stock of the railroads in the other
world, the Gould family has not been
quite so prominent as of yore, but
this latest bit of information will be
gratefully received, as it shows that the
Goulds and the Sages still have a few
dollars Of spending money, sufficient to
tide them through the hot weather.
In a list OF the persons arrested at a
suburb of Chicago, for riotous conduct,
looting, and other overt acts, appear
the following names: Teddo Balm
tine, Italian; Victor Chermes, Belgian;
Agglo Mcclellan, italian; Dominic
Castella, italian; Jonus Nogly, Polander;
James Iraloa, Polander; John Runferto,
Italian; Andrew Gercum, Belgian;
August Leisies, Belgian. These are
just a few of the people, to the sup
preston of whose patriotic and alto
gether citizen-like playfulness by United
States troops, such vigorous protests
have been entered by a large number of
people.
The populists in Barnes county have
consoled Railroad Commissioner Ras-
mussen, who was turned down at the
state convention of pops, at jamestown,
with a nomination for member of the
house. Rasmussen is a pretty level
headed citizen, and this may have been
the reason for his defeat at jamestown,
although it is said he was a little too
close to democracy to suit the pops.
Whether Mr.. Rasmussen will forgive
those who assisted to turn him down at
jamestown or not, remains to be seen,
and will depend, perhaps, upon his esti-
mate of the comparative desirability Of
what he didn't get and what he got.
Rev. Myron Reed, a Denver preacher,
pried open his mouth to an alarming
width on Sunday, and remarked to his
congregation, in the midst of q TRADE
against the government and in favor of
the rioters, that "Jesus Christ was an
anarchist and a socialist, but that he
was not at any time q deputy sheriff."
1t strikes me that Rev. Reed has greatly
improved upon the work of the
Creator, in developing the asininity with
which be was originally gifted, and that
the church of which he is a member, has
better grounds for his ramnva in d;ss.
