TO THE ARMY MULE.

The war steed wins his need of praise,
Oft sharing, on the shining page
OF history, Fame's golden words,
Which are the hero's heritage;
In monumental brass he makes
part of glory's encourage.
A CITY once was named for him,
with thee, o mule. 1t Is not thus!
No modern Alexander IL find
In thee q new Bucephalus;
Thou rt nothing but nondescript-
In life and death inglorious!
mind me of but one, 'mong all
Thy kind, who e'er on Glorys track
Has made record-only one,
And that the white mule Alborak,
Who, SO tits said. bore Mahomet
To Allah's heaven upon his back.
The battle chargers shade, no doubt,
Neighs. in Valhalla.s vestibule:
But ne er a niche doth Fame reserve
For thee, plodding army mules
THY ghost. among the demigods,
Would be butt for ridiculei
Yet tho TO Giory's camping ground
Fate ne er for thee let down the bars;
Tho thou may'st never be the mount
BY which the hero seeks the stars,
/ strike my Tyre to celebrate
Thee, o thou toughest aid of Mars!

POLICE COURT DIGNITY.

q PPARENTLY in the relations existing be-
| \ tween Police Judges Mogan and Low there is
an absence of that brothery love so sweet to
behold and which are told to let continue
Is 1t not possible that expressing opinions OF each
other the Police Judges lose timer: Any unprecedented
observer will concede that the opinions are not of
great value. Nobody really cares whether Low ad-
mires Mogan, and the Mogan soul yearns respon-
sively for benign comradeshp On the other hand
if one regards the other as such thing and an in
terchange of this view be regarded as necessary
there would be pning the jurists to meet in
secluded corridor and come to a settlement ac-
eording to Queensberry rules, publishing only the
verdict. ...
Police Judges have enough to do without pausing
to express sentiments mutually detrimental They
have to punish the vagrant reprove the man who has
acquired Jag, give sage advice impose uncollect-
ible fines, accept straw bonds, denounce the straw
bondsman, and accept his offering at each recurring
opportunity They have their political fences to
mend. 1t is their duty while off the bench to get
around among the push" and urge their right to
another term. All this is recognized. 1t goes with
the position.
But the gentlemen should. not openly quarrel To
do so detracts from the dignity of the woolsack 1t
gives the impression that after all, Police Court
Judges are only human. After a while people will
cease to regard them with awe Mogan and Low
ought TO bury their little hatchets. Only one person
ever made good record with Ratchet, and he did
not do it by wfacking at Police Judge.

BRAZIL, Ind. Oct. 24.-Two thousand
people crowded into the opera house to-
night to attend one of the most successful
Republican meetings of the year here. John
l.. GrifIiths, of Indianapolis, was the speak

and the necessity of unfolding the admin

President Mr.. Grimths shared hOnors with
James l.. Wilson, who introduced him. Mr..
wilson was himself introduced to the aud
ience by County Chairman w. W. Moore,
the Democratic convert of 1885, The lat
ter in his address said he had been a life
long Democrat up to the last presidential
election and only left the party when it be-
came certain that the real Democracy had
ceased to exist. He said the present So
called Democrats had shown themselves to
be incompetent to control the country by
the unbusinessllkc arguments they ad-
vanced. He said he would from this time
vote the true Democratic ticket by cast
ing a Republican ballot. Both speakers
were at their best. At the conclusion of the
meeting they were the guests at love feast

The masterpiece of the Grand stock COM
pany thus far was the society drama 1.-The
Wife which was given its first perform
ancc last night at the Grand. Both in
scenic furnishing and in the artistic work
of the actors the production is undoubtedly
the best yet turned out by the new stock
company. There is no evidence of panic or
mangled situations which often accompanies
first performances. so that the audience last
night witnessed a show worthy in every
way a frst-class stock company For the
most part the play was cast better than
either of the previous productions by Mr.
Bellows, and the actors, who are now be-
coming familiar people to Indianapolis thea

beginning to feel at home. The audience
took most kindly to the new acquisition in
the person of Miss Angela Dolores, whose
personality and refined comedy touch as the
society widow lends strength to the COM

Helen Truman was undoubtedly at her best

and dignity as to impart a delightful sug-
