and two other persons who have not
yet been liberated from Jail, and they
are paving the way for this request by q
few personal solicitations Of cold bacon
and hard tack, from property holders in
the outskirts Of the city.
hear q confirmation Of the rumor
whose existence I stated the other day
that the bill placing Captain Yorke on
the retired list has been passed, and I
have read with interest the report Of
the house committee in the matter. This
latter should be pleasing to the captain,
as it is a complete %vindication of his rec
ord as an officer, and I am pleased that
the result has been 80, as it will afford
much qualification to the captain, and
there is 9 source Of pleasure in the con
temptation OF the good fortune Of any
person. Then, too, from the tenor Of
the report, it would seem that Captain
Yorke's position has not been correctly
understood, and it will be OF appreciable
value to him in setting right whatever
Misrepresentation may have arisen.
Some weeks ago, Governor Hogg Of
Texas, predicted that within a few weeks
there would be bloody i%nsurrect1on in
Chicago, and that the tops Of ten story
buildings would be, spattered with the
Flights, livers and lungs" of citizens. I
understand an investigating committee
made q tour OF the house tops q day or
SO ago, and the minutest search failed
to reveal q maverick lung or a stray liver.
The porcine instincts of the gubernator-
ial Hogg should be brought into play in
Chicago, to the discovery of the vast
amount Of intestinal refuse which was to
have decorated the steeples and spires Of
the Windy city. Accuracy of scent
might lead the gubernatorial snout di-
rectly to the place where this bargain
counter job-lot Of stray intestines is To-
Gated.
l wish the Fargo Sun would file an
application for a patent upon some Of
it's grammar. There are occasional
flashes of novelty in the construction Of
some of its editorials which the Sun
should model in plaster Of paris and put
carefully away. Sometimes a participle
hangs over the brink of an otherwise
nicely rounded period, with a lonesome
far.away expression of features, at being
SO far from home, and then again an ad-
]ectlve is all warped out Of shape in its
forced modification of a handful Of
verbs. I am inclined to think sometimes
thai the groundwork of soma Of the
SUBS arguments is sprinkled with dec
orative detectives and adverbs through
the medium of a watering can.
I wonder if Senator Kinter decides
not to make the gubernatorial race,
whether the demo-pop fusion committee
will try to fit Wallace to the democratic
platform. Wallace may take lesson
from the experience Of Governor Short.
ridge, who pegged both holes two years
ago, and this year couldn't get ever an
expression of satisfaotion,from the ops.
But it is proverbial Of man that he can
not apply the experiences of others to
his own individuality, and I am inclined
to the belief that Mr.. Wallace would be
willing, could he have the opportunity,
to make the straddle. Mr.. Wallace
would fit the democratic platform some
what after an epileptic fashion, but,
like the others Of the fusionists, I think
ne would be willing to lay aside such
minor considerations as principles in the
interests of reform, which word, in the
vocabulary Of the fusionists, is exactly
synonymous with s.ofiice.''
There will be an affectionate meeting
IN the near future, between Prendergast
and Santo Caesario, the warmth Of which
will rival that Of the meeting place. Mr..
Caesario is now doing some lecturing
before a French court, upon "the Evil
dent Superiority Of the Poniard as a
Means OF Assassination" and Mr.. Prem
dergast is preparing a post-mortem
treatise on "How / Killed Ny First
Mayor" Both of these efforts are in
the interest Of a reform in social condi-
tons, although there is some little dis
pute as to the relative merits Of the
poniard and the pistol as modes Of re-
form, each author claiming his mode as
the most effective. As 0 as Caesario
finishes his engagement with the French
government, he and Prendergast are to
do q starring tour under the Immediate
auspices Of Mr.. Satanic Mephistopheles,
Esq, assisted by local talent, and rein.

There was q considerable amount Of
