Chinese we are fearing treachery. All
are exhausted with constant watching,
fighting, building barbados and dig

tie Over tho Mckay House.

Joseph Jandos was tried Yesterday in
Judge Sehlbrede's court for using obscene
and profane language in the presence of
women, and found guilty by a iurv. The
case was the result of the second OF three
alleged attacks on the residence of Mr..

holly contested by Judge Wilcoxen for the
government and J. @. Price for the de-
fendant.
The trouble arose over the possession of
the house on First avenue, in which Nc
Kay and his family were living, and which
Jandos had just purchased from E. }. Lid
dIcoat. The prosecution allege that Jandos
first notified Mrs. Mckay to vacate at g
o'clock day before Yesterday, but she asked
for time in which to secure another house.
This was followed by an attack on the
premises at 7 o'clock when Jandos appear
ed with big club and tried to force an
entrance into the house. Mrs. Mckay
pushed Jandos out, when, she saws, he
called her vile names and used profane
language for which she threw stick at
him.
Jandos denied this story, claiming that
no was catching some of his chickens that
had strayed on the premises. and that Mrs,
Mckay had come out and abused him and
threw Ratchet at him.
Mrs. Mckay was conoborated by Mrs.
Wilkes who said she was in the Mckay
house at the time.

BISHOP TURNER FOR BRYAN.

Bishop Turner's announcement that
he will support the democratic ticket
is likely to influence the action of col.
Ored voters not only in the south, but
In the north and west, where the votes
of colored men will do most good.
The bishop is the head OF the African
Methodist Episcopal Church and a
man of great influence. 1t is said
that not content with deciding to vote
for Bryan, Bishop Turner has also ex.
pressed a desire to take the stump for
the democratic nominee, and he has
already made arrangements with the
democratic national committee to
speak in Kansas, Minnesota, Michi.
gan, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia
and Illinois. In the last four States
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church has centered large part OF
its total membership OF over 900, 600
communicates. Bishop Turner will
take with him on his journey through
those States, IL he follow bis present
plan, "A huge canvas tent, so that he
may always have hall big enough to
accommodate the crowds OF his colored
bretheen who, it is thought, will flock
to hear him.

PURPLE AND GREEN,
Or THE STAINED GLASS POLITICAL
PLATFORM.

An article in the June number OF
the Century, by Stewart Chaplin,
written and published before the
Philadelphia Convention, proves
clever piece of satire on the conglomer.
alton Of meaningless platitudes and
glittering generalities:
He says: "You look through one
pane and see a purple dog, and you
look through another and he's green;
but what his real color is you can't
tell till you throw open the window" !"
This suggests vividly the republican
plank on labor questions as we'll as on
trusts. The utterances on both are Of
that s'stained glass" character that
makes the issue look any color that
may be desired, or no color at all. The
voter can look through one pane and
see purple dog, while through
another the animal looks green. A
stained-glass platform also contains
plenty OF what the author calls
"weasel Words" which 'are words
that suck all the life out of the words
next to them, just as weasel sucks
the egg and leaves the shell. If you
heft the egg afterwards it's as light as
a feather and not very filling when
you are hungry, hut basketful of
them would make quite show and
would bambooze the unwary." The
republican platform is full Of these
stained-glass planks and weasel words.
The political issues look very pretty
to some people thro' the stained-glass
and the weasel words have pleasant
sound, but political investors may
discover too late that the green or
purple dog is rank yellow one and
that the eggs Of promise are all quite
empty.
