The General Term of the Court
of Common Pleas, in New York city,
has handed down a decision over
ruIieg the action of the Police Com
missioners in dismissing Capt. VIM.
S. Devery and Wardman Glennon
for accepting brides from proprietors
of d~isor6erly houses. The two men
were tried and dismissed by the
Police Board in their absence, and
the judge said: Conviction without
trial is not a legal procedure. AS
suming the guilt of the relator, still
better his escape than the overflow
of the only safeguard Of justice"
Capt. Devery must now be reinstated
and receive back pay from the time
Of his dismissal; but he will prob
bly, be suspended while his trial in
the criminal canrts on the indict'
ment for the bribery is pending.

receive the active cooperation Of all
true and patriotic citizens. for the

The Silver Convention.

|
The free silver people had a grand
mass convention last Monday night
at Washington Artillery Hall, New
Orleans. congressman Money, of
Mississippi, and Bryan of Nebraska
were the orators, and the vast au'
dience We are told were electrified
by the eloquent addresses of these
distinguished gentlemen.
As a sincere bimetalist, willing to
do full and timely justice to the white
metal there are several things con-
nected with this meeting which have
aroused our suspicious. That in the
meeting, called as it was, without re.
gard to party lines, should have par.
ticipated Democrats, Republicans
and Populists was but natural and
proper. In the selection Of the exc.
cutive committee, however, the fine
Italian hand of the managers and
promoters of the affair is so plainly
descernible that the man who can't see
it is hopelessly blind. Examine care
fully the list and You will fad that
the men on this committee are the
declared aud persistent political ene'
mics of Governor Foster and his
administration. 1t is not any acct
dent that produced this condition
1t is the result of a we'll laid plan,
which will sooner Or later develop.
1t is indeed unfortunate for the
friends of silver that at the very it,
ception of the struggle for its exis-
tence designing and ambitious men
should seek to harness it up that
they may ride into Office. We're it
any ways popular there would to-
day be found plenty of ambitious
patriots who would loudly clamor
for the reconciliation of iron, or
that coon skins and clam shells be
made the current money of the
realm.
We make no pretentions to being
a prophet or ever the son of a pro-
phet, but if this does not pan out in
the end an anti administration
scheme, we shall be agreeably sur
prised.
1t viii not do the cause of silver
any good to ostracise Governor
Foster and his friends or SO clearly
indicate to them that il they want
to further the cause they will be per.
mitted to do SO in a subordinate
capacity only.

The lost>child was the four-year-

farm, in the town of Bellevue. The
little girl was with her grandfather
who had been at Oak Ridge with a

the Platte river ford near the outlet

feeble, found that he was off the road.
He got ont Of the buggy to look for

buggy he found that he had lost
that also. He finally found a house

their efforts were without success.
The child was finally found by a
farmer at about 8 O'Clock Tuesday
morning, having been ont all night
exposed to the severe storm and
weather over. twelve hours. She
was standing beside Il straw stack
where the horse had wandered to,
and had evidently got out OF the
buggy unassisted. The farmer
heard her crying and discovered her
just as a party Of searchcrs who had
found the buggy track and were
following it, came up. She was

covered and when one of the gentle
men took her wraps off so she could
see him she threw her arms around
his neck and fairly cried of joy. She
was taken to the house Cf Joseph

sible was done for her comfort. She
was drenched through with the cold
rain that fell Monday morning, and it
is doubtful if she could have stood
