asIoPPED LYINGn

Under the heading stopped Lying
About DR.. Ball" The Every Evening
has the following to say:
Every Evenings plain statement
Of the facts i'm connection with the
retention of $3.50 Of State money
by Congressman Ball, as State
treasurer. has knocked the props
from under the vicious Addicks or
gans. which by mean insinuation
were trying to make HI appear that
DR.. BAN was acting criminally in
this matter.
One of these organs, the Sun, OF
this city, now cringes in The face OF
the plain facts and admits the sltu-
ation-that the money I'M question
is on deposit in dhe Farmers Bank
in this city, subject to the direc-
ton of the Legislature, and has
been there from THE first Then This
Addicks organ changes its tune and
begins to criticise the policy Of ex-
ira allowances 10 State officers for
official services, which was the
cause of This sum Of money being
diverted from the State treasury
and left in Dr. BaNs charge.
Il is net pertinent to discuss this
phase of the situation now. but if
the Addicks organ choose to do it,
let them so ahead. But we are
pleased THAT we have driven them
SO quickly from thair mean and
malicious Lies about the perfectly
stranglht and honorable attitude OF
DIR. Ball in connection with tlhis
matter.
We fear the Every Evening assumes
too much; the organ referred to, hasn't
stopped lying about Dr. Bali. 1t can't 1t
has gotten the habit so thoroughly fix
cd THAT it's presses print lies withou
dhe help of writers or compositors
There never was any suspicion OF any
wrongdoing. or even of loose methods
ln THE part of Dr. Ball when he was
State treasurer. When some few scan.
dal mongers sought to make a sensa
Hon by endeavoring to SHOW THAT hC
had not paid over certain moneys tC
his Successor, the matter was thor
oughly ventilated, and there was Moth.
Ing found in the least discreditable L
Or. Ball. The papers which continued
to throw mud at THAT gentleman knew
that their conduct was dastardly, tina
they wrote and printed lies, and tina
DO well-informed men would believ,
them. But they expected to catch th'
unwary-those NOT familiar with th'
matter, and the few who prefer false
hood to truth.
For the Every Evening to believ
that it has stopped the lying OF the Ad.
dicks sheet! Well. it shows an over
confidence that is astonishing.

Senator Alice says NE is as certain
THAT John Edward Addicks win be
elected senator by the next Legislature
as he is that the sun shines. To have
made a statement so obviously untrue
he must have been in such condition
That he couldn't see the sun or anything
else. That distinguished statesman has
made several predictions Of The same
tenor, but If memory serves, they fail
ed to be verified. Senator Alice, him
self, may not be in a position TO again

A Friendly 6ood-for-No,hiug

He was just a gOOd-for-nOthing,
An encumbrance to the earth,
And there seemed no slightest SEM
blance
OF a reason for his birth;
He was lazy. old and shabby.
And the work that ne had done
In his life YOU might have crowded
In the time from sun to sun.
He would sit around and idle
When he knew at home the larder
Was empty-'twas the period
When he seemed to loaf the harder;
SO his angry wife had left him
Many years before my song.
And the neighbOrs said they wondered
How she'd stuck it out so long.
He was lazy. old and shabby,
And his friends were very few,
But he loved the children dearly,
And the children loved him, too;
And tho he wouldn't labor
In the ordinary way,
For a little man or woman
lie would slave the livelong day.
He could make a bow and arrow
That would shoot most out or sight
And the sailing boats he fashioned
Were a wonder and delight;
And he told the finest stories.
While he whitfield at his work,
or gOrillas, wolves and grizzlies.
And the wars against the Turk.
SO when he died the children
Wept as tho their hearts wOulO
break.
q And I'm sure he's gone to heaven,
II it's only for their sake;
he was lazy, old ass shabby.

But the Judge above is lenient.
And he loved the children so.

INAorLoN. OR WHAT

The story I'M the Evening Journil
yesterday to the effect that the inaction
of the Street and Sewer Commission
ers is likely 10 result in the abandon
ment by The Pennsylvania railroad o
its plans for elevated tracks, a new
passenger station and other improve
ments caused great deal of comment
A few persons seemed to think tn
company was bluffing, but we do no
think it is, and we believe the project
so much desired is being put in ieop
ardy by pig4headedness, II nothing
worse.
Tine plans contemplate Improvement
OF vast importance-improvements ia
beyond what our people have asked.
The company is NOT a beggar it ca
have no purpose TO do anything that
will injure the city or any of its inter
ests.
A morning sheet, which ever oppose
what honest men favor, thinks W
should so slow. Well. haven't we gore
slow enough? The recommendations o
the city engineers were complied wit
instantly, and there was an eviden
willingness ON tine part of the company
10 meet amy reasonable demand.
What Is the commission waitin
for now? Is it reasonable TO suppos
that sudh an undertaking involving a
expenditure of millions OF dollar
should await their ponderous leisure?
We warn The Street and Sewer Com.
missioners that il their inaction result
in am abandonment Of the presen
plans, and the improvements are no
made, then the people will attend
their cases in the proper manner.

AN OLD GHOST REVIVED

According to the Washington CORE

the Southern friends of President

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
Once More 10 the Breach

From the Baltimore Sun.
Last Tuesday morning THE Sun made
reference to speech delivered before
a Grand Army post at Manchester, n.
H., by Frank H. Challis, past ma
tional commander of the Sons of
Veterans. Mr.. Challis, it will be re-
membered viewed the President with
misgivings. The President had writ
ten to friend to say that he felt kind
ly disposed toward the Southern peO-
pie; that he purpOsed being President
OF the whole country and net of the
North alone. and finally, that HE was
proud of two of his uncles who were
in the Confederate service. Comment
ing on these pacific expressions, Mr..
Challis declared that he had some mis-
givings for the future. He did not
like to see the pendulum swing that
way. Upon the Suns observations
concerning this matter Mr. Challis
writes a long letter, which we publish
elsewhere today for the amusement of
our readers. In this letter he pleasant
ly suggests that the Presidents two
unc.es should have been hanged as
traitors and THAT various other people
should have been served the same way.
In short, he seems TO desire a general
lynching bee. This Mr.. Challis, of
New Hampshire, is chiefly interesting
because he is a specimen of a type
now happily almost as extinct as a
dodO. The dodO was rare bird, and
Mr.. Challis is equally so, and far more
amusing.

unjust, that church members either
ignore political duties, or look upon
politics as something apart from reli-
