4 PROTEST FROM POLAND.

Mr. Henryk Sienkiewlcz IN letter to
the New York Evening Post protests
against the efforts that are now being
made by Prussia TO drive the Poles
away from their native soil,
The history OF conquered Poland is
one that should appeal TO the civilized
world. and the appeal would not be in
vain, IL the lofty principles that in
spired the so-called holy alliance were
recognized among nations.
For some time the Prussian govern
nationality. The land OF the Poles has
been bought up; the Polish children
have been maltreated n they used the
language OF their parents, ana the use
OF Polish IN public meetings has been
prohibited. But all these measures haY-
Ing failed. It is now proposed 10 dis
possess the Poles of their land, by COM
pulsion II the bill Is presented to the
diet and passed, it's effect would be that
the Poles under the Prussian rule would

/ have lived. ana remain buried
Mn. sienkiewicz points ont that tho
Poles under the Prussian scepter have
J never Iindled revolutionary flames:
they behave peacefully, strictly fulhll-
ing the hard duties that events Impose
upon them. They pay the taxes and
yield a military contingent whose oour-
age was more than once admired by
Bismarck. The proposed outrage is
therefore all the more barbarous.
We presume every man and woman
sensitive to the sufferngs OF Fellow be-
lngs, will Join the Polish patriot IN his

WHY IT'S RAGE?

Whenever the rottenness in the Trib-
une camp becomes so conspicuous that
the public must take notice of 1t, thai
paper flies into rage against the Des-
eret News. and the Church. The ia
nous. or Infamous. McWhrter episode
will be remembered. Al that time the
absurd charge was even made that the
Church had hired the victims to lose
$4,000 in order that charge might
be preferred against proteges of the
anti-"Mormon" party organ. And now
when more graft is coming TO light
and the true nature Of the anti-"Mor-
mon" conspiracy is further revealed,
the apologlst again raves at the
News"
The evident purpose of its tactics Is
to draw the attention of the citizens
away from the deplorable facts, and
from its own responsibility. That is
the reason for it's abuse. Like the
octopus 1t hopes to escape in its own
black effusion. But to no purpose.
Just for the sake of the argument;
suppose that the News were guilty
OF every crime imputed TO it by its i'm
maculate opponent, suppose that the
News" were even worse than malice
| can paint IL; how would that help the
cause OF the Tribune? The railing ac-
cusations against the News" compris-
ing lying, graftfing, hypocriey'
and many other generalities. are
false and malicious; but suppose they
were true, what bearing would that
fact have upon the recent revelations
of Irregularities In certain public ac-
counts? The Tribune gang processes
virtue, honesty, patriotism. 1t claims
purity of the very highest excellence.
Is II too much to ask that such claims
be proved. not by maniacal rawlings at
others. but by deeds of honesty and
purity in the administration of public
affairs?
We have always contended that the
Tribune, with its record and without
any sign of remorse is in no position
to preach morality to anyone. and we
notice that this view is now accepted
by indirectlon. by that paper itself.
For, when it assumes that the News"
is in no position to speak about graft,
although that assumption is false,
IT accepts as true proposition from
which it necessarily follows that the
Tribune is out of place as Il preacher
of morality Any logican Will at once
perceive the force of this statement
A paper that used 10 advocate the
establishment of saloons and brothels
as effective antl-"Mormon" agencies
and that quite recently apoIogized for
the assassins of the martyrod found
ers OF the Church, is a monstrosity in
American journalism and not ut
preacher OF ethics until it repents and
brings forth the fruits OF repentance.

borious explanation on my own part

point of view. SO. too the sharpness
OF a refusal or the edge OF rebuke

story so as TO snve wounded feeling

am not simply storyteller, but
storytelling az an emolllent saves me
much friction and distress"
The following anecdote has been
published In the Century:
q once heard Mr. Lincoln defend
a man in Bloomington against
charge Of passing counterfeit money
Vice President Stevenson told the
writer There was pretty clear
case against the accused. but when
the chief witness for the people took
the stand he stated that his name
was j. Parker Green, and Lincoln
reverted to this the moment he rose
to cross-examine Why, j. Parker
Green? what did the ] stand for?
JohnT Well, why didn't the witness
call himself John p. Green? Thit
was his name, wasn't IT? Wen, wnat
was the reason he did not wish TO
be known by his right name? DID
j. Parker Green have anything To
conceal. and II not, why did j. Par
ker Green part his name In that
way?' And so on. OF course the
whole examination was farcical.' MT
Stevenson continued, but there vas
something irrestibly funny In the
varying tones and infections OF Mr.
Lincoln's voice as he rang the
changes upon the mans nanei ana
ut the recess the very boys in ne
street took 1t up as slogan ana
shouted, j. Parker Green all over
the town. Moreover, there was
something In Lincoln's way of IN
tonine his questions which made me
suspicious OF the witness, and TO this
,aay have never been able TO rid my
mind of the absurd impression that
there was something not quite rlsnt
about j Parker Green. 1t was an
nonsense of course, but the Ju'y
must have been affected Us l was. Tor
Green was discredited and the de-
PENDANT went free
The story Of Lincoln's last appear
anco in Springfield Is pathetic. One
who saw him and heard him says no
one can ever forget that meeting
when he told his friends he was go
ing away. not knowing whether he
would ever return. the whole audi
ence felt a chill. Many burst into
tears. It was as If the shadow of
death had been cast over everyone
present His words were prophetic.

 Oriental.

Dr. H. F. Klenke went to the jail yesterday afternoon and after exam ming Lee Quen, who was before the police court Saturday, charged with breach of the peace, decided that the Celestial was crazy. To-day Dr. R. k. Peck will make an examination of Quen, as by law two physicians are re- quired before disposal is made of a case.
 In the city court Saturday Quen ere ated a disturbance and required the attention of the court officer nearly III the time. The interpreter Charles Zoo, confided in the judge that the man, who was an old acquaintance of his, was insane.
 Quen was arrested for assaulting his Italian landlord. Dominic Loroso, with lead pipe when Loroso attempted to dissuade his tenant from using the cellar doors of the property for fuel Loroso also wished to collect the rent and this added to Quen's ferocity.
 Quen kept laundry at 275 12 Wa ter street and has been well known because of his peculiar actions. favorite trick was not to return laun. dry, and one of the persons thus fa- vored was former Deputy Sheriff P George Nicolari. Quen has been sent to New York twice, but has always in. sisted on returning.
