A Fool in Canonlcals.

AT the recent meeting oI
the American Missionary As.
soclation held at Oberlin, o.,
a poor, drluded, purhlind ids
lot, disgracing the chnrch OF
God by wearing the canoni~
calls, gave birth to the follow
ing incendiary and yet IDIOT
ic expression:
THE crime against South
ern women, whirh has pro.
voked the dphance Of law and
order and melted to savage
modes OF revenge, Ia a judg-
ment OF God uDon the past
treatment Of slave women"
The folly Of a fool like this
should and would he treated
with silent contempt aud din
gust did it not come from a
divine OF prominence, at a
great. religious gathering,
and which folly has been Civ
en- wide publicity. 1t is just
such purliDg idiots that form
the sap on the log; that re-
tard the efforts OF statesmen
NORTH and south IN t h elr
work OF solving the great
problem OF the races. And 1t
ia Just such men in the church
Of God, that place the great
barrier in the way OF t h q
church.
The Pittsburg Post has the
following to say with regard
to the above which is not a
miss:
"Just snch vaporings as
this repel the average man
from the missionary m o ' e
ment. and even aid in deerea

the insistence upon the direct

lent lurch occurred, and both women were
precipitated TO the ground with great

Mrs. Dyers home.
The horses continued up Kay street,
with the carriage swaying violently from
one side of the street to the other, until
finally the shafts gave way and the horses
freed themselves from the wreckage.

carriage OF DR.. Alexander S. Clark and
then stopped. The Clark carriage was
not seriously damaged, and DR. and Mrs.

THE FIELD . OF LABOR

the effect that the strike was on the
point Of collapse.
Mr.. Essling writes as follows:
To the Labor Editor News-Democrat-
In its issue of Sept. %. one Of your vera
cious contemporaries informs its readers
that the photographers strike is on the
point Of collapse because THE lthograph

Witness did not think he had any right
ID do this, as the warden could have told
by feeling the back whether there was
ono or more ballots given him by voter.
Mr.. Waterman's discovery OF the signal
lin6 is regarded as very important. IL
was a certain method OF determining for
the Moran-Dorney crowd just how many
ballots they needed 10 win. Their check
ers outside the rail could be certain only
of the number OF votes cast, and could
guess,but only approximately, at the num-
b,r OF votes polled for them: but with
such a system OF signals as Mr. Water
man says the warden used, they could be
certain OF the result when the polls
closed and could know just how TO pro-
ceed, after IT was known that the Doran
ticket had $50 votes and their own. tho
Moran-Dorney ticket. but PA votes.
A story was current on the night of the
caucus that there had been instructions
given In subtraction and substitution;
that after the ballots had been counted
I'm packages OF 80 one man was TO re-
move one OF the Doran packages. while
another was 10 substitute a Moran pack
age brought In by some one who had re-
ceived a signal. A change OF 80 votes
would have given the election TO the
Moran-Dorney crowd by 2s4 to 2lO.
There was talk outside OF the city hall
building last evening upon the ADJOURN
ment OF the hearing that George +.
Brady, the petitioner. had become con.
vinced that he was being used by the
Moranites 10 extract their chestnuts from
the fire and was heartily sick of the whole
business. II was even stated that II would
not take much for Brady TO throw UP his
hands and get out of the hearing.
