a Scandal.
THE INAUGURAL PARADE.
Plans Made to Shorten the Time Of March
(From Our Regular Correspondent

WARRINGTON, February %. 1897
The investigation now being conduct
ed by the Senate Committee on public
lands may lead to scandal involving
Mr.. Cleveland. although every patriot
ic American will hope not. The inves-
tigation is of land patent recently is
sued by Secretary FrancIs to Mr.. Per
rine, Mr.. Cleveland's step-fsther, and
his associates. The patent covers %,
600 acres OF land in Florida, and if it
has been legally issued, the present
occupants of the land will have to
move or make terms with Mr.. Perrine
The original grant of this land was
made to DIR. Perrine. father OF the
present Mr.. Perrine, and his associ'
ates, in 1S41, and the contention oi
the settlers on the land, who are rep.
resented by ex-Congressmsn Brook
shire, of Indiana, is that it was for
feited by failure to occupy it within
the legal limit.

NO HOLIDAY.

The time within which the remain
ing appropriation bills must be passed
growing so short that the most the SEN
ate could do in honor of Washington's
birthday was to listen to the reading
of Washington's farewell address by
Senator Daniel. After that business
went on Just as though the day were
not a national holiday. The House
took no official notice of the day, be-
ing in the midst of a more or less bit
ter squabble over the appropriations
to be made for its employees.
The Yale expositor., 1897-11-19
Postal Savings Banks.

Ernest q. DeLong of Trapon Springs.
Fla, writes to The Chicago Record as
"Should postal savings banks be
established l fully believe that 90 per
cent OF the negro women of the south
would become depositors within a
year. This would have a better effect
| upon the character of the African race
than all other reforms thus far spoken
or. 1t would give them an aim in life
IN which all could take part. Itwould
protect them from unprincipled sharp.
ers, both white and black. Ny exper-
lence is that the colored people have
implicit confidence in the government.
and none whatever in anything else.
when 1t comes to money matters. One
with a savings bank account, no mat
ter how small, would be a better citi.
zen In every respect. 1t would start
ueposltors on road to usefulness i'm
right direction, encourage industry
and discourage gambling. Above all
else would be the moral effect. IT.
would do more than the most strin-
gent laws to prevent crime, because il
would be great incentive for the pre-
serving OF their identity. AS it is now,
one name and one locality is Just the
same as another, and it is very COM |
mon Tor the negroes To change their |
names every time they change their
location and that makes it very easy
Tor them to dodge the law; much more
so than for the white man, because it |
takes years of experience for u north
ern man to tell one negro from an
other and the south is fast filling up
with northern people, of whom / am
one. 1t behooves us all in our own
interest, as well as that of humanity,
to improve the condition of the blacks,
and | know of nothing that would do
It so well as the moneyed interest i'm
the government"
The Yale expositor., 1897-11-19
A ROYAL GOOD TIME.
At Yale Chapter q. E. S. Last
Firdday Evening.

Members sGf the order of the Eastern
Star, Mystic Chapter. of Port Huron
visited Yale Chapter atregular meeting
at Masonic Had, last week. Twenty
three ladies and gentlemen came up
on the evening train and were con.
| Quoted to the hall, and from thence TO
the homes of the members of Yale
Chapter.
In the evening the visiting ladies and
gentlemen gave the initiatory work in
most pleasing and efficient manner.
Then there followed speeches, reci-
tauons, music, etc. after which the
company, about $50 i'm number sat
down to bOuntiful and elegant re-
past prepared by the ladies of the Yale
Chapter. The dining room was well
illled with tables which were beautiful
ly decorated with flowers. After sup
per the company again gathered in the
hall and spent a social hour.
The visiting ladies and gentlemen
were loud in their praise of the hall.
dining room, and their appointments
and seemed to enjoy their visit here.
while Yale Chapter unanimously de-
termlned that the visitors were as iolly
lot as ever visited our village. Upon
their return to the train the following
morning, the entire body of visitors
united in one long and loud "What's |
the Matter With Iale?-SHE's ALL !
RIGHT!' And they meant it, too. The
visit or the ladies and gentlemen of |
Mystic Chapter will long be remember
ed by the members of the local Chapter.
