RANK HYPOCRISY.

acterizes as rank Hypocrisy the request
made by the club which modestlS cats

other men are.
III the members of the so-calied
american club really want the ghastls
flames of tho red light" district eN-
tinguishcd, they should ask the City
authorities to enforce the ordinances
relating to the social evil. The mem
bers of the club know very well tila1
the State cannot dissolve corpora

to violate the law. They also Know
that the City has ample authority 10

of the ordinances When. therefore,
they ask the State TO do what they
( know ii cannot do, and neglect 10 de-
nland that the City authorities perform
their sworn duty. they prove that they
do not want the district" intcrfered
WITH.
According to the information we have
tho plan Of removing the district
from it's present location was first sug-
gested by an cnterprising supporter
of the first so-called American coun-
: Gil, who. upon Investigation, discov-
cred that renting out novels for I'M
moral purposes Is quite a paying bust
ness. IT is claimed that q delegation
went from here to Ogden. that great
4 deal Of champagne was consumed on
the trip, and that, as result, the plan
for the removal was completed. Mayor
Thompson, we have been told, refused
to sanction the scheme. and therefore
1T was dropped, temporarily. Later,
1t Is understood, another expedition to
Ogden occurred under the auspices Of
enthusiastic American supporters,and
this time. 1t seems, with more sue
cess. Property was bought and build
ing commenced, in spite of the protests
Of the citizens, in spite Of public In
dignation.
We take the liberty of suggesting
that the so-caled American club send
IA petition to the City council asking
for immediate action against the mani
pulators of the ''red light" district, as,
required by the City ordinances; and
then, il the American council re-
fuses to enforce the ordinances. let
the County. or state authorities be
appealed to in behalf or public morali-
ty. Let us SEQ how that would work.

BIGoTRY IN ENGLAND.

At this distance the protests OF Lon
don Protestants against a parade of
Catholics, appear as a strange remnant
of medieval intolerance. The parade, or
procession, was planned as part of the
Eucharistic conference. But the King
was petitioned to prevent the parade,
the protests being particularly directed
agaist the carrying Of the Host
through the streets. Legally, the Cath
olics in England are on an equal plane
with all other citizens, but such Is the
popular feeling in England against
''popery" that the Premier considered
sidered 1t necessary to interfere and the
Catholics abandoned the plan of car
rying the consecrated emblcms through
the streets.
There are in the United Kingdom
about 100000 Catholics, of which about
half liveSin Ireland, 2,50O.OO0 in England
and Wales, and 100000 in Scotland. In
high society the Catholics are well rep
resented, but there Is no Catholic po-
litical party in Great Britain, their in
nuence being pretty well divided be-
tween Conservative and Liberals. Ev-
erytning considered. it is strange that
the popular antagonism against the
Catholics should be as strong as 1t is in
liberty-loving England. But, 1t is not
strange, after all. Right here in
America, "the land of free" bigotry ex-
lists just as gross as anywhere in the
world. and politicians do not hesitate
to take advantage thereof.

A WORTHY SUGGESTION.
Springfield Republican

1t is Of truly national interest to
learn that at the recent encampment
Of the Grand Army at Toledo. o., there
is a strong undercurrent among the
Union veterans in favor of a joint en-
campnent of the Grand Army of the
Republic and the United confederate
veterans in one of the border states. 1t
was felt that this would be a welcome
move for completely wiping out the Old
feeling of antagonism between north
and south. and it is said that the idea
was hailed with pleasure by many OF
the influential leaders of the northern
organization. Col. j. A. Watrous OF
Milwaukee, past department COM
mander Of Wisconsin,. says that there
should be inaugurated at such a con
yention a movement for the erection OF
a. joint monument to the memory Of
Gen. u S. Grant and Gen. Robert IL
Lee al Appomattox, and of all the sol
diers who fought in the war of the re-
belliOn.

COUNTY FAIR.
Washington Herald,

Blessed be the man Who can go to
a county fair and be 'helloed' by
every other fellow he meets, and slap:
ped on the back by the rest of them!
He has the remainder of creation back
ed to the ropes, so far as having a
good time is concerned. The races he
plays are between horses he knows
and the money he bets wouldn't buy
any battle ships! If he patronizes tbs
little which hell-is-it-under game the
gentleman In the red necktie Is operat-
ing. and loses his coin in consequence
what cares he? It's Il mere basatelle
anyhow--the price of bushel o
wheat. or ten pounds of cotton, may
hap! The county fair is one of Ameri-
cats great Institutions May the day
never come when we shall be compelled
to say we have seen the last of it.

.HARBOR IMPROVEMENT.
The Question Still a Live aud
Feasible One.

From various reports by gen
tlemen of repute, the action of the
long delayed meeting of the board
of trade resulted in one good
effect, the issuance Of the pros.

The report Of the president
seems to have given the public
the impression that the adverse
report Of the engineers puts tho
question Of the Improvement Of
the harbor out of business. Now
this is not so. The board is act.

w. M. Black in 1891, which sur
vey was very thorough and found
that the harbor is easily i'm
proved, as the bottom is of mate
rial that can DO removed by
pumps, and with no rock, tho bar
having natural jetties and the cut
being very stable.

Now this includes the Cape

Baker channel cuts off over three
miles and is the natural tide-way.

was $529,356 and the estimated

Tampa Times: The Times is
