WHY INDIGNANT ?

His honor, Police Justice Morrison, ac-
cording to contemporary is indignant
at The Herald for "impugning" his mo-
tives in his treatment of the case of Mr..
Ed Van, who was accused of vagrancv in
his court. The honorable judge is in
error. His motives were not impugned;
on the contrary. nothing about
his motives was asserted. They
might have been this, that, or the other.
The Herald's opinion, the public's opin-
ion, or Mr.. Vans opinion OF them was
not in question. Attention was called to
the tagging steps of justice IN this inter-
esting case, where the trial was held on
June 18th and a judgment was not reach
ed until nearly three months after. In
our esteemed contemporary his honor is
represented as saying that the briefs in
the case were very long, and the
authorities were very numerous that had
to be looked up. These statements, taken
in conjunction with the well-known
reputation of the defendant ard the fact
that appears 20 have been established
that he has a calling, though not that of
q laboring man, explains Cat least from
Justice Morrison's stand polnt) why it
took from June 25th to Septemb Der Dist to
decide whether Mr.. Van was a vagrant,
or whether he had any visible means of
support. The conclusion arrived at is
that Mr.. Vans means of support are or
we're visible.
If anyone still feels inclined to imp ugn
Justices Morrisons verdict, let thea. ask
any mem Der of the police, any man about
t0Wn mr. anv constable of the citv ahou \
Mr.. Van, and the replies will at once be
entirely satisfactory to the inquirer and
to The Herald.

Commissioner OF Indian Affairs Brown
ing reports that the Bannock Indians are
clamoring indignantly for the punish
ment of the white men who recently
wronged them. This demand of theirs is
almost unreasonable enough to be civil
lied. In the course of few moons .he
apparently perplexed Bannocks will dis
cover that the whito mans language is
not the only thing about him that is diff
cult to understand. They will learn that
in the application OF penalties for wrong
doing he is just little bit inexplicable.
The degree OF enormity for violating the
rights of another largely depends on
the relative positions Of the violated and
the violater.

an absolute present OF the increment they
will enjoy when street railway makes
their holdings accessible to the city's CEN

in mind could afford amply to foot the
entire balance rather than have the

A Republican organ says that the ME nj
bers of It's party ''desire to see the pros.
perity of the country put back where they
left Maybe they do. but 1t is hardly
probable that anybody else does. They
left the prosperity of the country on the
verge OF the panic of 1893. and they led
it to that verge with such specimens of
legislation as the Mckinley tariff act and
the Sherman silver purchase law.
The financial credit that is now being
restored is the credit that was lost under
Republicanism; and the wage scales now
being raised are the scales that were low
cred in the era of protection that was
supposed to foster the interests OF Amer
lean labor.

The New York Tribune is among the
Republican papers that are attempting
to leaven the political loaf with q Levi
z. Morton presidential boom. 1t recently
declared that the running mate CT the
Renaissance of Grandpa's hat was
elected goverfor vf New York 'by the
largest majority ever given an incumbent
of that office in any state where the office
was contested. This is about as accurate
political statement as one could expect
from a journal that has achieved wide
notoriesy as a comprehensive claimant.
A gentleman who has wrecked more
Republican hopes than any livips Demo-
crat leads Governor Morton on the Gu
bernatorial vote OF New York quite a
few" to speak in revised English. Nor
tons plurality in 1894 was 1856 los. Presi-
dent Cleveland's plurality when he ran
for governor in 1882 was 1872, s54. Morton's
majority over all opponents in 1894 was
not quite 1900. Mr.. Cleveland's major.
ity over all his opponents in 1889 was
151, ZAP.
IL might profit the Tribune to consult
the statistics in its own almanac.

A Word To Republicans.

We take the following very timely
words from last SGnday's Americans:
Everyone familiar with the politi-
cal situation in this State knows
that a crisis has been reached in the
history of both parties. The COR
rupt, expensive and burdensome
rule of German and Rasin will be
brought to an end if the present
temper of the people continues I'M
til November, and we have no reason
to suppose that there will be a
change in sentiment. The Repub-
lcan ticket and platform will gain
strength as time goes on, provided
no blunder is made in future nomi-
nations. The Democratic bosses
will, doubtless, attempt to bolster
up their strength by endeavoring to
secure good men for Legislative and
city candidates: But no matter
how respectable man IS, or how
good his previous record may be,
the faint of Gormanism will prove
fatal to his political aspirations in
this campaign.
Now, one word to the Republi-
cans. 1t is admitted that the nom
inatiOns made at Cambridge are
strong and the platform adopted an
admirable one, But it must not be
supposed that the work is over. 1t
is possible for the Republicans to
weaken their ticket by the nomina-
ton of inferior men to the Legisla-
ture. Mr.. Lowndes will not be
able to carry any dead timber. The
men selected to run for the General
Assembly must be above reproach
in every particular. 1t is especially
necessary that they should be en-
thusiastic supporters of the plat
form, and realize that the civil SER
vice plank is not a vote catching
device, but reform demanded by
the. people and pledge made to be
kept,

Mt. Lake PARK.


The first two weeks of the Cha
tauqua have passed away-weeks
full of rich thought, pure humor
and enjoyable song. Nine more
days remain to be enjoyed-days
filled by the best platform talent of
the land. Thursday next Bishop
Foss is to lecture. He will also
preach Sabbath morning. Friday
8 p. M, Hon. T. R. Sovereign,
master workman of the Knights of
Labor, will lecture. The CHATEAU
qua will close on Tuesday, the 9th,
which is G. a. R. day, with a great
big program and special excur-
Sions.
The Park never had so many
visitors as now. At least 1000
people are here, and still they come.
Death cast a gloom over us last
Thursday. Mrs. j, G. Anderson,
noble, true and kind woman, was
his victim. For some weeks she
suffered. She is gone. Her life
was well lived. We will miss her.
The afflicted family has the sym
pathy of the community.
The nomination of the Hon.
LLOYD Lowndes for Governor, has
given much pleasure to the Repub-
licans of this section. They seem
to be delighted and predict his
election. Garrett county will roll
up big majority for him.
The superintendent of the park
reports the sale Of large number
of lots, by that at least ten cottages
will be erected this fall. The Park
certainly is becoming more popular
as the years go by.
1t is supposed that more than
half hundred of people from
Fairmont, W. Va, are summering
here. The same may be said of the
city of Wheeling.
Congressman Dayton, of West
Virginia has been enjoying rest, a
guest of the Masden cottage.
Hotel bennett is to have its ca
pacity doubled. The contract is
let. W. R. johnson is the happy
contractor. The building will be
completed for next season.
The National Association of
Local Preachers is to convene here
August 81 and September 3. A
large number of local preachers are
expected to be in attendance. A
good program has been arranged
for the meeting. Prof. Hudson, OF
Alliance, Ohio, will have charge OF
the music. A special rate of board
is offered for these dates, viz. IS q
week, by several of our hotels and
boarding houses. 1t is expected
that at least 800 delegates will be
present.

An Anecdote Of Henry ". Grady.

The late Henry W. Grady who was one
of the best OF humorists, once related 10
a friend the following anecdo;e OF his
childhood:
1T was shortly after the close Of the
war;" said he, and Georgia was flooded
with circulars Of wildcat lottery COM
panies l was then about fourteen years
old, and walking In home late one after
noon / saw on the center-table In the
drawing-room one of those stereotyped
lottery circulars addressed TO my mother.
1t came from a lottery company In the
north. purporting TO be operated In the
interest OF Confederate widows notifying
my mother that they had been informed
OF the death of her husband In the war
and holding out 10 her the fiattering offer
OF a 5000 prize provided she would buy
q ticket at cost OF s. and give the lot
terry a certificate that she had drawn a
prize Of 5000.
SCI asked my mother II I could reply 20
that circular" said Grady. and she
cheerfully gave her consent. I at once
indited a communication. as follows:
Gentlemen:-your favor received
herewith accept your proposition and re-
quest that you send by return mai! New
York exchange for 1895. Yours truly.
