 dermSn.

Chicago is always on the point of hanging some one and Quartering him and boiling him in hot pitch, and as surfing him that he has lost the respect of all honorable men. Rumors Of a characteristic agitation had come faint ly up Archey road, and MT Hennnessy had heard Of it.
 T hear they're goin' to hang tn al- dhermen," he said. If they thry it on Willum J. O'Brien they'd betthcr bonn bard him first. I'd hate to be tn man that'd be called to roll with him to his doom. He cud lick tn whole Civic FeatheratiOn."

ExCoRIATEs A FELLOW JUDGE
Omaha Jurists Pass Upon Each Otder's $
 Characters From the Bench-

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 23.-On the open ing of court today Judge Slabaugh took occasion to read a statement that he had prepared with reference to r5cent utterances of Judge Scot in c-mmen = ing from the bench upCn the acti1ns of his fellow judges. Judge Slabaugh ez- plained that he would not have re- ferred to it except that he learned lass night that the charges mcde by Judge Scott were being telegraphed Oycr the country and printed by the newspapers. The statement read with much 2pp&T- ent feeling by Judge S.abaugh was as follows:
 q cannot pass such charges without nctice. I have s.o0d his cursiug a1d abuse for long time, bucause 1 be- lieve that men knew him and paid ID heed to what he says, excspt to te amused, and because the position 1 hoId-that of judge of the cCurt- should be above abusing anyone, and God forbid that especially from the bench I shall abUss anyone, even my worst calumniato-s. But wh9n I am charged with wrCng-doing and ccrrup- tion as judge, which the base maEgner knows is false, if he is sane, the same man whC a few years ago was " Hhlnin5 that he was abused, and whiC n chargl are being spread throughout the press of the land, as I learned last nigh, then I must speak cut, and that pub licly. Beware Cf the man wEo s a. ways crying wrong and frs ud in others and wl1lcI needs his own COnmeda-icn to give himself character bef3Tt the peODle."

 The two chairmen wish to become the authors Of some arrang cement which is to De an exposition of lthe cordial Anglo-American feeling, and that de- sire may lead them to some positive recommendations. The representative of Great Britain would not oppose seri- ously an agreement which did not em- body all the concessions which Canada wishes. That is not meant to signify that Lord Her5chell would sacrifice willingly the interests Of the dominion, but he was sent here to negotiate ftrea.y and it is not his intention to re- turn to England to acknowledge fail ure if he can help it.
