the horse and truck. which belonged to 8.
Paper of 1877 Division street, were found In
a stable at 274 Cherry street. The truck
was hidden behind six others, and the
detectives had to haul them all out in
order to get at the stolen goods. While
they were doing this, Paper picked his head
in, and. seeing what was up. fed before the
detectives could get out from the tangle
of wagons. Max Schachter who runs
the stable, was arrested.
The police are looking for Paper and for
the other man who was on the truck. About
five rolls of cloth are still missing. These,
the police think, were taken away as
samples.

all who love their kind are looking forward

we behold some Of our great leaders losing
all faith in the equality OF the races, and the
right of suffrage, for white and black, and

His WIFE Was an Indian Princess.
Col. Alonzo s. Gear, Water Register Of
The Bronx, has been suspended from duty
on three complaints incompetenoy, insub-
ordination, and swearing in the presence
of his suborclinates. Col. Gear is veteran
of the civil war, having served as Quarter
master under Gen. Grant. He lives at 6sS
East 13Sth street.
About five vars ago Col. Gear married
the Princess Cunsiama, an Indian, many
years younger than he. He is nearly 80.
She had him in the Morrisania police court
in January for non-support, and the colonel
was ordered to pay her $40 week
In the Strong Administration COL Gear
was in the Aqueduct Department, but when
Tammany Hall came into power he was
dismissed. He was appointed to the place
held in The Bronx year ago by j. Hamp-
den Dougherty.
The charges against him are made by
WiliamT. Hull DeputyWater Commissioner
Of The Bronx, whom Col Gear on TWO occa-
sions called down. The Water Register h,
ago he sent in request for fourteen more
saying that the department was behind
in it's work. An investigation was made
and no need for extra employees was iouno
The charges state that Col Gear wrote
letters to Gov Odell. Commissioner Greene
and many other city officials on Office sta
tionery, which is against the rules OF the
department. In some OF these letters he
criticised Commissioner Robert Grier Mon
roe and intimated to his friends that his
department was in the grip OF Tammany.
"V IN ono occasion Mrs. F. H. Burger OF
1esth street and Fulton avenue wrote to
DEPUTY Commissioner Hull that her next

NO properly Rights inside the Church.
SYRACUSE. May i7.-Bishop Huntington
Of the Central Episcopal Diocese of New
York has some pointed things to say in
connection with the meeting Of the Church
Association for the Advancement of the
Interests Of Labor which meets in Newark,
n. d. on Tuesday. One of the most radical
changes that he suggests is the abolition
OF all pew distinctions.
4There should be no property rights
inside the Church., he says. ut Is mis-
take to place rich men in church offices.
There are many rich men in Office who
are no more fit for such office than the
poorer members. who should have repre-
sentation in church affairs There have
been instances where the work of the Church
has been hindered rather than helped by
rich men In Office"
The mistakes made by unions, the Bishop
thinks, have been due to poor leadership
He believes that John Mitchell is broader
than many labor leaders. The Bishop
thinks the hours Of labor should be reduced
to eight

The Natchez Bulletin dominates
John Sharp Williams for president.
Vicksburg American.
Since you seem to hesitate about
the matter we'll second the nomina-
tion and move that the nominations
be closed. Why not back good Mis-
sissippian every time? - Natchez
Democrat.
This removes all doubt in the mat
ter. With the Bulletin and the
Demmocrat behind him John Sharp
will assuredly be nominated and his
election will be a natural conse-
quence. -Natchez Bulletin.
You fellows are too fast. What
you say has no force. If you had
waited until the Progress made the
nomination John Sharp would not
have had any opposition. Don't be
so fast next time.

A LITTLE TOO FAR.

At the prohibition meeting held
here the other day the trainers of the
resolutions went a little too far and
unthoughtedly the meeting adopted
one of them which will do any man
with a spark of pride about him an
injustice if he expects to be candi
date for the legislature. 1t is the
one which declares that any candi-
date for legislative honors who does
not openly commit himself as being
in favor of the passage of a state pro-
hibition law will not receive our sup
port. - That is rubbing it on a
little too hard. A legislator might
be the strongest prohibitionist in the
state, still see nothing but the
greatest evil cropping out of the pro-
posed statutory law. Thousands and
thousands of men of the state are pro-
hibtionists who do not think it
would be good policy or safe thing
TO pass such law They want to see
the state and the United States if not
the world rid of such an evil as in
toxicating liquors, but they want to
go at it in the right way, steering
clear of the rocks that may in man
ner wreck the state. We have the |
local option which has produced the
blind tiger. Can We expect anything |
better from the statutory law? Then |
why force the candidate to openly lie
while he is openly committing him as
being in favor of the passage of this
law?
If the resolution had demanded |
that the candidate for legislative
honors use his greatest endeavors for
the passage of some law that would
take whiskey out of the state and
keep it out then this man would have
been free to act and if he thought the
statutory law the best mode, all right,
then let him have exercised his own
better Judgment and turn loose the
ox's tail and caught him by the
horns Hundreds of the most prom
inent men of the state do not think
will ever prohibit under
such law and they will not support /
It. Then why try TO force repre-
to support a measure that
will in no way effect the good for
which it was intended, but will, on
he other hand, tend to aggravate it

Our Jackson correspondent states
that it is very doubtful that Bishop
Galloway, who has just returned from
a foreign trip, will take any hand in
the present prohibition movement.
He will doubtless attend the meeting
at jackson on the 18th, but the prob
ability is that he will not address the
assembly, not that he has any objec-
tion to prohibition, for he is as strong
prohibitionist himself, but for the
fact he cannot see wherein the state
would be benefited by the adoption
of statutory law.
