4 JOKE ON AN ALDERMAN.-A Buffa-
10 delegation was in Albany, n. Y, on
Wednesday to appear before the Sen
ate railroad committee, and a joke
PLAYED by one of them stirred up the
Albany police department. Alderman
Yelling, Of the delegation, secured Har-
vey J. Hurd's gold watch while they
were roaming about the capital. When
Hurd discovered his loss he notified
the chief of police, who detailed FIVE
detectives, one captain, sergeant, and
two patrolmen on the case. The hunt
was q merry one, for Assemblyman
Gerst, who was in the joke, pointed
out the funny Alderman as a suspicious
character. He was shadowed so close
iy that his life became O burden, and
finally he became so nervous that when
the detectives were about to arrest him
he walked up to one and handed out
the watch, with the remark that man
had given it to him. This brought out
the Joke and the police dispersed.

THOUGH THE civil service law eff
fectually removes all responsibility for
the appointment of inefficient and dis
honest office holders, one of the most
pronounced newspaper advocates Of
that law, in New York, opposes the
adoption of bill now before the legis-
lature of that State providing for a
double headed police government there,
for the assigned reason that it would
decrease the responsibility for the ap-
pointment of improper police officers.
But professional civil service reformers
are neither logical nor consistent.

A NEW YORK city law prohibits the
employment of any except citizens in
the work of improving and cleaning the
streets of that city, and the lower
branch of the Pennsylvania Legislature
has Just passed bill excluding all Ia
borers except citizens of this country
from employment on the public works
of that State. And yet the Declaration
of Independence declares that "all peo-
ple have the inalienable right to the
pursuit of happiness" and certainly
poor man cannot pursue happiness ifhe
be deprived of the right to work for his
bread and meat.

AS THE war between the States Is

of the federal Union, and the rlgnts'
privileges and immunities Of citizenship

there is no good reason why a southern
man should not be President. But, LOT
all that. and Mr.. Cleveland to the con-
,rary, as politics in this country are
practical, and as daily experience proves
that the sectional feeling of the North,
by far the most populous portion OF
the Union, has not been allayed, the
next national democratic convention,
,Inwise as the last one was, can not pos
sibly be so utterly daft as to select Its
nominee from the South; nor is it at

Gratis will place implicit faith in the sin

A RICHMOND newspaper that has
been doing all it can to induce North
ern republicans to believe that cleo
tions in this State are fraudulent, now
says it hopes those republicans will
mind their own business, and not inter-
fere with that of Virginia, the people
of which, it truthfully asserts, are per-
fectly able to attend to their own af-
fairs, without assistance. The paper
referred to supplies the Northern
South haters with ammunition, and
then tells Thorn not to use it.

MIR. DEpEw says: 1.-THE times are ripe
for ignorant demagogues and educated
patriots, and our colleges are the re-
cruiting stations for the patriots" This
is unquestionably good time for the
demagogues, but there are so few
educated patriots that good or bad
times are alike to them, and that col
leges are not the recruiting stations for
patriots, any more than free schools,
goes without saying. But man af-
flicted with cacoethes loquendi should
not be held accountable for all he says.

CAPTAIN BECK ACTS.
che Leaders of the Winnebago .Reserva-
ton Settlers Arrested

PEsDEE, Neb., July e6.--Captain
Beck has fired volley into the camp
of the ePenderites. Warrants were
served on w. E. PEBBLES and John F..
Myers, charging them with conspiring
wlllfully and unlawfully to oppose the
government by force. The warrants
recites the fact that on the 10th day of
July the parties to whom the warrant
is addressed did conspire with divers
unknown persons to violate the law of
the United States by opposing the
government with an armed force. In
order to effect the object of the treaty,
the complaint says that the parties
purchased arms and gave them to the
settlers for the purpose Of making war
upon Captain Beck. 1t is alleged that
the purchase of arms by PEBBLES and
others was to enable the settlers to
forclbly invade the reservation The
complaint then goes on at length to
recite in legal verbiage the danger of
the conspiracy and the necessity for
the prompt suppression of such
rebellious demonstrations, which
means an attempt on the part of the
settlers to force the agent to do their
bidding.
