POLICE.

SSWKltS.

THE Democratic majority in the House seems determined to have no rulee that will prevent filibustering and expedite action on matters ot public importance.

WE will stay right with Councilman Smith on his proposition to begin a plan for sewerage this winter and lay the mam intercepting sewer along Market street noxt Spring.

THE council realizes that the present system or rather lack of system in constructing sewerage is a ridiculous waste of money. Engineer Waugh takes the right stand when he says that the time for makeshifts and patch work iu the line of sewers is past.

Ir Gladstone's life be spared two years longer Ireland will seoure home rule. The rejection of the present home rule bill bv the House of Lords will rmse up tens of thousands of enemies in England and other parts of the liriuth islands to that chamber, and win new friends for that policy.

"THE police do as they please," said Councilman Reynolds and the Mayor and the entire council agreed with him that it was so. Mr. Reynolds, however, says he proposes ta agitate this matter until the polioe do as the council pleases. And Mr. Reynolds' term does not expire for over two years. We will stay with Mr. Reynolds.

THEISE are no terrors for Republicans in that threat of Senator Woloott that if silver purchases are suspended the silverites may vote for free trade. The Rocky Mountain States have sufficient interest in the protective polioy to defend it when it is attacked, and they understand very well that the protective doctrine does not demand that the government shall show the silver miners any favors beyond what are accorded to the producers of iron, cotton and other commodities.

CojiGKEBSMAX BRECKINRIDGE h&8 been sentenced to

Bocial

ostracism in Wash-

nglon because of the Pollard incident In walking through the high society streets of the city he does not get a nod to the mile. This social ostracism does not extend to his Kentucky home, however. There he is looked upon as a regular hero and all the papers in his district have placed in big black letters at the head of their editorial columns: "Let him that is without sin oast the first stone." An intimate friend and supporter of Breckinridge told a prominent citizen of Crawfordsville in Lexington a few days since that Breckinridge had forty children black and white in tbe city of Lexington alone. This is one of the glorious social poebilities of old Bourbon Kentucky.

ON the essential point, the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman law, t'le Wilson and Voorheee bills are eimi lar in scope and purpose. In the declaration of deiign and policy there is a -difference between the two to this extent—the Wilson bill provides that tbe legal-tender quality of the silver dollars already coined shall not be impaired, and that 'gold and silver coin shall be maintained at a parity with each other' while the Voorhees bill proclaims Unit it is the purpose of the country to con tinue the use of both metals as money. The difference is in phraseology ohisily

Practically speaking, the policy and in tention are the same in both. No matter which bill passes, the legal-tender quality ot silver will be maintained, silver will be held up to a parity with gold, and both metals will be continued in the circulating medinm.

WHILE prating about the reduction of "tariff taxes" about the first thing the Democratic party will do is to take sugar off the free list and make it duli able again. The Republicans gave the American workman first free tea and coffee and then free sugar. In short, a free breakfast table, a luxury, by the way, the British workman has never enjoyed under the} benign iniiuenoe of free trade. The shaky condition ot the revenues, with an alarming deficit to provide tor, will make it doubly difficult to reduce the tariff and increase the revenue at tbe same time. The general prosperity was so great when sugar was made free that the masses of the people never appreciated the benefits of the measure. When sugar is restored to -the dutiable list and the cost increased (for home competition amounts to little or nothing) every household will realize the difference, especially in these times of low wages and laok of employment.

Anger.

Bridle thy passions! Anger Is the sin Of all Iho greatest tt leads up to deeds Known only to the darkest hours of night It tempts tho upright man to throw aside His cloak of reason and go forth to dip Ills hands In human blood it covers up The path where duty walks with steadfast feet. It will not listen to the soft appeals Of maiden loveliness, or turn aside From its fierce purpose when the dimpled hands Of mercy are held up before Its gazo. It will not falter in Its stubborn course When old age counsels with great swelling words. It is the curse of youth and middle age. Of gray haired men and women. It benumbs The sensibilities of all alike. 'Tis only fit to live where madmen live, 6afe stalled behind the strongest prison bars. —Herbert E. Day.

Art.

Art Is the child of Nature—yes. Her darling child. In whom we trace Tho features of.the mother's face. Her aspect and tier attitude. All her majestic loveliness Chastened and softened and subdued Into a more attractive grace, And with a human sense imbued. He is the greatest artist, then. Whether a pencil or a pen. Who follows Nature. Never man, As artist or as artisan. Pursuing his own fantasies. Can tonch tho human heart, or please Or satisfy our noble needs. As he who sets his willing feet In Nature's footprints, light and fleet, And follows fearless where she leads. —Longfellow.

Conscience.

Conscience is harder than our enemies. Knows more, aocuses with more nicety, Kor needs to question rumor if we full Below the perfect model of our thought. 1 fear no outward arbiter. —Georve Eliot.

CHICAGO THE AMERICAN CITY.

Whit an English Writer lias to Say—A Comparison with New Torfc. The very essenoe of American progress is Its utilitarian spirit, and of all the great olties of America, Chicago is the most American in this sense, says a writer in the London Hotel. To attempt to judffe that city and its marvelous productions by the concentrated test of untold generations of artistic development Is an injustice. It must not be judged in comparison with either ancient Rome, buried Pompeii, ruined- Athens or modern Paris, but it may be compared with any and all of the existing hives of industry, homes of manufacture or centers of commerce and rapidly growing wealth with surpassing honor, glory and fame to its energetic citizens. Chicago is the center of industrial, commercial and agricultural America. It is the most American of all its great cities, it has made the most phenomenal progress, has recovered from almost ruinous disasters, and has acquired the recognized highest position amongst the marvelous cities of the great republic. As a center of commerce its tonnage is almost equal to that of London and Liverpool combined: as a city its houses are the largest and highest on the surface of the globe, it is the home of several of the largest Industries in the world, and its population Is growing at a pace which must inevitably soon make it the most populous metropolis in the universe. These are hard utilitarian facts, appealing perhaps but little to the artistic mind, but full of fruitful reflection for the social and political economist.

New York is almost a foreign city as compared to American Chicago, and were it not that New York's unrivaled position makes it the leading port from the old world it would long ago have ceded its title of empire city to the newly crowned national metropolis of the great west. Chicago is a city which has sprung into its high position under tho energy and fostering care of the younger generation of New England's sons. Its leaders have been the scions of the best stock of old English blood found In America, and their latest effort has been the organization and completion of the greatest and grandest jubilee exhibition which the world has ever seen. The Chicago exhibition is a huge success, insomuch that it outr does everything ever done before, and is the crowning triumph of the American spirit of Chicago.

IN THE HEART OF A POPLAR.

Tha Strange Place In Which a Kentucky Skeleton Was Found* A surveyor of MoCracken county, Ky.. recently told the Paducah correspondent of the Louisville Times about a discover}- made by some workmen on his farm, about ten miles from the former place. The men felled a large poplar tree, some five feet in diameter at the base. The surface of the trunk was perfect except in one spot where a "catfaco" indicated that there had once been a hole into the Interior. On chopping up the trunk and splitting it, a hollow was found to run through It, and in that hollow was the skeleton of a man. The skull and teeth were intact, and also a good portion of the vertebra the breast bone, the knees and the feet. It stood upright, the lower part being about two or three feet from the ground. The thinnest part of the wood covering these bones was fifteen inches. When the discovery was made hundreds of people inspected the wonder and carried off the bones as relics. Various were the opinions, wise and otherwise, that were expressed as to how and when this human skeleton became imbedded in the very center of an apparently perfect tree.

Those who are familiar with the growth of forest trees were of the opinion that it must have been encased in Its upright coffln at least eighty years. Was it an Indian or a white man? Tlad he taken refuge there from an impending danger, and, being unable to extricate himself, had he died and become encofflned by the natural growth of the tree, or Is it the secret of some terrible crime committed In the long distant past? These are some of the questions which none could answer. When the surveyor was asked why he did not preserve the bones for scientific examination, he replied that before anything of that sort suggested itself the skeleton had been broken up and distributed far and wide.

FACTS ABOUT PIGEONS.

Dow to th.

Do SucctiMiful lu liaising Feathered Aristocrat*.

There are some kinds of aristocracy In this world which display too muoh human nature as far as companionship or social intercourse Is concerned, but included among these are ccrtainly not those charming creations whose robes are of feather instead of broadcloths or silks, but whose blood is as blue as the bluest-, and whoso pedigrees are as long as the longest. Companionship with pigeons, the feathered aristocrats, brings one into a kind of society that is very real and makes no pretense of being other than it Is.

To find the origin of pigeon breeding one would have to go far back into past ages. Variety after variety has been produced. Varieties have been made to take on many peculiarities of form and color. Doctors, lawyers, preachers, statesmen and men in all other professions and walks of life have been most eager admirers and breeders of theso feathered beauties. The interest bestowed upon the pigeon fancy has been very great. Fabulous sums hnvo been expended for single specimens of a particular variety, and years have been spent in mating and breeding these birds to secure a coveted characteristic. The greatness of this work and the success which has attended It can be well understood if one makes a visit to a pigeon exhibition and notes the almost infinite number of varieties that now exist, and tho very great diversity among them in color and form.

The beginner in pigeon keeping should visit one of the many poultry exhibitions. Here will be seen the tall and stately pouusr, with his enormous protuberance of breast, making a balloon of himself with his curious power of Inflating the air sacs near the lungs. A most interesting bird is the pouter, but hardly suitable for a beginner's loft Here also will be seen the dainty turbits, the owls, the tumblers and a host of others, but to my mind the most satisfactory stock for a beginner to put in his newly-made pigeon loft would be either tho fantails or the

The Jacobins have an even more curious characteristic as to feathering than the fantails. The feathers of the neck are long and part In a more or less distinct line around the throat, one part turning upward and forming a

distinct ruff around the head, which nearly conceals it The other part lies down smoothly over the shoulders. Many 'buildings have unoccupied roof chambers. One end of these can bo partitioned off and a very desirable pigeon loft thus obtained. A window must be placed in front, and, outside, a landing board for the pigeons to light upon. If a simple window is used it should be low and wide (Fig. 1), and be placed very near the floor, so that the birds may readily get the sunshine, as they hunt for grain in the littered straw upon the floor, without going out into the cold air of winter days. An arched window (Fig. 2) is particularly attractive in these roof chambers when one's resources permit the extra expense necessary to secure one, but the rectangular shape will give just as good results. If the roof slopes down to the very floor, a low partition should be put in on either side. Pigeons ul ways mate in pairs and remain so mated, so each pair must be provided its own roosting perch and nesting bowl of earthenware. It is convenient also to have a row of cages mode of slats in which to shut up a pair, or in which to placc the male bird, if he shows signs of a tyrannical abuse of his position, as head of the family, as he sometimes does during the brooding season. Full directions for the care of these beautiful pets cannot be given In a short article, but let anyone begin with a few birds and he will soon learn by experience what to do and how to do it—Webb Donnell, in American Agriculturist.

These are among the easiest to raise and possess, withal, so many points of beauty and of interest that one would not go astray were he to choose either, or both, varieties, for two different classes of pigeons can be kept in the same loft without any mixing of the varieties, but more satisfactory results will be obtained if only one variety is chosen, at least in the beginning.

The fans are so called because of the enormous spread of their tails which look for all the world like the tails of turkey cocks when in the midst of their most pompous strutting. No more attractive sight could well be imagined than a collection of white fantails wheeling through the air and alighting on the green turf, with heads drawn back over their bodies, their tails spread to their fullest extent, and uttering the soft cooing notes of which which only pigeons are capable. With the fans, as with almost all other varieties, there are numerous subdivisions differing in color alone, but the white and yellow colors are most commonly to be seen. When, however, one leaves the white color he can hardly expect his birds to have perfect uniformity of color in their plumage, as some will be of a lighter shade than others, or some other point of color difference may be presented. The white fans, therefore, being so beautiful in themselves, and breeding so true to color, are to my mind preferable as a choice for a beginner.
