Ex-PREsIDENT HARRISON.
Says It Would be a National Shame
to Seat Roberts.

INDIANAPOLIS Qnd), Dec AK
President Benjamin Harrison was
asked to-day if he would assist the
Anti-Roberts League in it's efforts to
prevent the seating of Congressman
elect Roberts. He said:
"Overtures have been made to me
by persons connected with the league,
but they were merely tentative 1 was
asked if I could assist the league I re-
Piled that my time, 1 having just re-
turned home. would be too much occu
pied for me to go into the case The
matter was not pressed
What is your. opinion of the case?"
was asked.
"As for myself, share with the
whole country the feeling that to allow
a man who is living with plural wives
to sit in the Congress of the United
States would not be American. It would
be a national shame
General Harrison was not backward
in indicating his entire sympathy with
the movement to prevent the alleged
polygamist from taking his seat.

That Explosion

The reporter went out on a chase
again this morning to find out what
caused the loud report or explosion
on Monday night. He learns that
Mr.. Barney Fronhotf had some six
or eight pounds of dynamite at his
gravel pits where he is blasting
gravel and the devilish small boy,
who is always in some devilment,
watched Barney when he hid it
away in the brush for the night
The boys gathered at night fall as
if by intuition, and made a sneak
for the dynamite. They soon had
it placed in a whole and tampedr
and with a long fuse, ignited it and
left for their several homes. The
explosion came and houses near by
were shaken, and we suppose the
young chaps engaged in the matter
played the ignorant racket wher
questioned about the matter. We
suppose Mr. Fronhoff having been
boy once himself, will think back
and say, well let the boys go, thel
must have their fun.

The number of dreamers there
are in the world is something mar
velous. There are people who fancy
they are rich in this worlds goods
when they are poor as church mice.
There are people who fancy them
selves highly educated and cultured
when they are supremely ignorant
and ridiculously vulgar in manner.
There are people who have the most
fantastic ideas about getting on in
the world, who never have got on
in anything aud never will. As for
the first and second classes, igno-
rance is their bliss and they usually
are as happy a people as are to be
found. The people of the third
class are never successful because
they are never practical. They are
never causationists. AS Emerson
says, successful men have believed
that things went not by luck, but
by law. Belief in compensati0n-or
that nothing is got for nothing
characterizes all valuable minds
