What the Council Did.

w lidI likC k-oGiiSil
EVERYTHING was calm at the session of
he council Tuesday evening. No al
fusion to the investigation of Chief l.ut-
ton was made, and what at first looked
ike an effort on the part Of the COun-
ciImen for good clean administration
now goes on record in the minds of the
people. at least if not on the city rec
ords as one Of the biggest Doodle games
ever played. 1t was clearly the duty Of
the council, and no one else, to investi-
gate the charges preferred by alderman
Green. and the matter could easily have
been settled by the evidence introduce
ell and guilty" or mot guilty" which
ever the verdict, would have satisfied
the people that an effort had been made
at least, TO right wrong. Somebody
evidently knows more about the chief
than they care to tell.
Due to lack of space we make a very
condensed report Of the proceedings,
and we regret that we cannot give in
full the sarcastic utteranCes Of some of
the aldermen when their pet schemes
are opposed.

board Of public works, from the school

had stated that the treason suits lad not
been commenced against the keystone

never been authorized TO institute suits,
and he farther said lie was not person
ally Interested in either.

The same dispatches tell of the APP
peal made to the government by an
Armenian woman, who after detailing
the condition of things, expresses the
belief that it is the duty of America to
protect, not only her own Missionaries
but the Armenian converts as well,
who by accepting christianity placed
themselves i'll peril of their lives
Meanwhile the world is waiting what
for? That the despairing cries of mar
tyrs may reach them from that far away
land. The Venezuelan controversy is
mere bagatelle when compared to this
sham of the Christian world. Surely

Why President Cleveland Wrote
the Venezuela Message.
To THE EDIToR:

To THE EDIToR:
There is no doubt but that the pres
emit strained relations between this
country and England have been brought
about by the persistent 'nagGing" Ger
tain editors and politicians have given
President Cleveland. Up to his recent
message on the Venezuela matter his
administration ha- shown no inclination
10 pick up quarrel with anybody.
In consequence Of Lis, so called,
lack of true American spirit, he has
boen denounced, not only by a unani-
nous Republican party, but also by a
large number of his own party.
While his action in the Hawaii affair
was undoubtedly corrccr, yet he was
bitterly denounced as having shown in
i, pu5illanimity not becoming the
President OF republic that wishes 1t
distinctly understood it has no equal in
the wide, wide, world.
SO again when England sought re-
dress, of some kind, from Nicaragua,
ut the lannon's mouth, the patriotic
blood of these critics boiled over at the
cowardice that restrained the Eagle
from pitching in and proving, TO
the despots from over the sea, that the
collecting of debts on this continent by
a foreign government is not rcrmis-
slble.
1t was therefore in exact line with
former practice. that Wien Salisbury 5
note on the Venezuelan qnestion came,
and it was announced that Cleveland
was hunting ducks, that great roar Of
dissatisfaction filed the air.
He is purposeIy absent from bis post
of duty, said some, at a great national
crisis. to avoid responsibility.
said others, instead Of hunting splut-
tering ducks down on the coast Of Caro-
lima, why could he not be chasing the
rnvenous lion out Of South America 5
jungles?
How much influence these public
criticisms descending frequently to the
level of stupid dcnunciation, may have
had upon the Presidents mind, no one
but hmseIf can ever know.
This much however we DO know, that
when he returned from that hunt for
ducks, to the surprise Of both friends
and foes he had become what is known
asa TRULY patriotic American.
He out jingoed tie jngoca. The fol-
lowing poem illustrates, or attempts To
illustrate, these two phases Of public
sentiment towards him, the one, Of
half-concealed contempt while lie is
hunting the ducks; the other, of out
spoken praise over his manlincss on

Current Topics.

Edison's recent statement with re-
gard to the uses to be made OF eiectri-
city in case OF war, must have ten
dency to make serious minded people
think deeply. The idea of az enlighten-
ed nation deliberately planning nipple
ments Of destruction whereby thous-
ands of human beings could be hurled
at once into eternity cannot help but
add another argument TO prove the bar
barity of war. The works of Neratcha-
gin the Russian artist whose pictures
were on exhibition in this country
few years ago, did much to show the
world the horrible iniquity of such
wholesale slaughter.

Oxford Students In the Past.

An Oxford undergraduate of the thir-
teenth century was widely different be-
ing from his successor of the nineteenth
who is surrounded by everything that can
conduce to a life of studious enjoyment
and whose ideas of disorder, thanks to the
efficiency of the double machinery of police
and proctors, do not run beyond casual
bout of fistiouffs on the 9th of November
or tho breach of some peaceful citizen s
window. In their stead one has to conjure
up shifting mass of some hundreds of
students. lads OF all ages, many of them
Irish or Welsh, some of good blood, tho
great bulk apparently possessed of no moro
property than q few clothes and weapon
or two, lodging where they chose or where
they could, some at hall, some at a tav-
ern, many OF them dependent on charity
for their very food, restless, noisy, quarrel
some, attached to the university by no
moro than tho loosest ties, plainly beyond
any sort of control.
Amid such an assemblago of unquiet
spirits, in an age when every man went
and had need to go armed, the university
statute which still forbids the carrying of
deadly weapons and the city regulation
that any armed person abroad at night
should be seen to his lodging by the watch,
We're, as will be seen, no meaningless
forms. Tho most trivial occasional hot
word in d tavern---was apt to flare up into
ii brawl, and brawl was quick to grow
to the Dimensions of riot, in which it
was odd if iife was not lost. Maomilans S
