minister who thought il worth while
to rebuke the minstrels, that the
songs they sang were composed since
1850, that their principal stage busi-
ness was not in stretching a mouth
from ear to ear and that their jokes
were harmless as well as pointed and
that they were their own invention.
The SlaytOns' broad jokes had not even
novelty to recommend them. but they
amused good people who attended the
EpwOrth picnic. On account of their
name it was accepted as a matter Of
course that they had something to do
with kingdom come and must be edi-
flying. II the university girls had
called themselves Jubilee singers, or
Jordan's Band. or Weeping Willow
Walters il would never have occurred
to our good Methodist brother to re-
proach them for singing THAT Little
Pumpkin ColOred Coon" or my Gals
a Heightened Lady," or any Of the
sparkling numbers which they pre-.
sented to the sophisticated audi
ence with good results. The criti.
cism would not have been delivered il
the preacher had seen the crescent
full Of round black faces and had
heard the merry, innocent songs OF
the college girls who chose this very
successful method Of raising money
for the base ball team to buy balls and
bats and padded suits with that they
might be properly equipped to meet
and beat the Wesleyan nine.
The spirited reputation Of all that
is English by the Irish speakers at the
Oliver last Sunday does not alter the
fact of the English origin of American
institutions and Of our own direct de
scent from the English people.
Whether the Irish like it or not they
are British themselves part Of the
great English speaking (witha differ
ence) race that will possess the world.
Irish, English or American, it is only
a question of geographical boundaries.
The same passionate love OF liberty
and methods Of establishing it, the
same literary and legal traditions and
precedents. III Mr.. Manahan. who re-
pudiated everything English with so
much indignation, were to rid himself
Of English law and English literature
and the English language. only the
Gaelic would be left and there is not
enough Gaelic law. literature and Ian
guage to educate circus pig. The
noble and splendid body Of accom-
plishment is English and no other ma
tion can claim as much. Let the Irish
rail as they may they are part Of
Great Britain. They have married
English girls and their children are
Saxon as well as Celtic. Before an
other century rolls around the Irish
question will have been settled to
Erin's satisfaction. In the meantime
we are one people. Erin go bragh.
Bribery and receiving bribes are
repreheDsible and no man capable OF
either should have been elected TO the
mayoralty OF city. but many mayors
have been guilty Of both and will be
again. The real crime against the
people. an offense that only criminal
without any survival Of conscience
could be guilty of, was the alleged
order to plug the A street well. The
public sense of the enOrmity of such
an 0ffenSe is ohScured by the number
The courier., 1898-03-26

pute When the test OF the Mockett
well had proceeded far enough
to show that the water there
was fresh, soft and abundant,
Engineer Henry says that the mayor
gave him orders to plug it 1t was in
spite Of much opposition that Mr..
Mockett and other members Of the
council secured that body's permission
to proceed with the test Of the well.
When the presence Of fresh water
was demonstrated, it is said that the
mayor gave orders, which, il carried
out, would indicate that the well was
supplied by too thin vein to be Of
any use. When the test had proceeded
q day or two, wells a mile or two away
were reported as running dry, all on
account Of the A street well test
which threatened to supply the
city with fresh water. All this
points to conspiracy against
the interests Of the city of Lin
coin, SO cOldblOOded, SO selfish. Of
an essence SO criminal that the
charges Of bribery and cOllusion for a
share of the profits with the gamblers
sink into insignifcance.
Perhaps never before were SO many
people interested in this city's poll
tics and determined that no friend or
ally of the mayors shall be reelected
to share in the management OF the
city. This is largely due to the water
conspiracy. Everybody admits that
the mayor, il he gave that order, must
have been Influenced by a person or
persons interested in keeping the water
Of the city just as expensive and bad as
ever. Who the selfish cOnspirators
were is only surmised. but the mayors
unpopularity is due to the conviction
that he was willing to battle the effort
to get good water. The universal in
terest that habitually preOccupied
merchants and professional men are
taking in the approaching election is
a result of the resentment against the
water conspirators and their official
tool
The serial story by Henry James

are to Howells and James like tonic
walk in the open air after a series of
very hot but necessary and depressing
baths. You like the walk better for
having had the baths but the relief
and the pIein air are gifts of God. The
rush of events, the active lives, the
healthful hatreds and loves of Kip

that he has the art to make you believe
that he is just about to tell you some
thing that will make it worth your
