A petition signed by numerous citizens ikfni was read, asking that the fine assessed against ex policeman Peter Bolig for the shooting of Miller some time ago be paid by the city. Referred to the police board

The above appears in the report of Toesday night'# council proceedings, and de serves more than a passing notice. As there are many who do not, jwrhaps, fully understand the full import of the peti tion above referred to, we propose to explain. so that the taxpayers may see how they are about to be robbed. Some time ago a few negroes had collected at a point on North Fourth street and were some what noisy, owing to the liberal use of beer. Among them was the man Miller. Miller, perhaps, is not the most moral and temperate person in the world, but on that occasion did nothing of which any decent man could complain, but a Democratic marshall, whose name is Kidd, be cam© so alarmed at the noise made by these darkies, that he concluded to arrest them. lie did have Miller arrested. Mil ler was then turned over by the policc who arrested him to ex-policeman Peter Boleg. Boleg did not witness any acts of Miller previous "nor at the time of the arrest, as he was not present. While ou the way to the station house, Miller at tempted to escape by running away. He used no violence whatever. When some distance from Boleg, this Democratic policeman drew his revolver and shot Miller. The shot came near killing him. For months he was confined to his bed. As soon as he recovered he employed Mr. Buff, and Messrs. Davis & Davis, attorneys, to bring suit against Boleg, which was done. It is well enough here to say, that Davis & Davis are Democrats .of the most radical type, and of the highest standing in that party, and unless the shooting had been unprovoked and en tircly without cause, they would not have taken employment against a Democratic officer, The suit was brought and tried by a Democratic judge and Democratic jury, and a verdict was rendered for Miller against Boleg. This clearly proves that Boleg was in the wrong, else a Democratic jury would not have given a verdict against a fellow Democrat, and in favor of a "nigger."

This now is the judgment which the petition above mentioned asks the city to pay for Boleg.

What right or authority is there giving the city the right to pay this debt of Boleg's!

There is none cither moral or legal. It would be moral and legal larceny. When ho did the shooting he was not acting within the scope of his duties as an officer. He was siiAply exercising that right which some Democrats think is inherent—the right to kill "niggers^ at their will, jtfow to ask the city to pay this judgment and make the tax payers suffer for Boleg's wrongs, Is an exhibition of Democratic ehcek that to seldom witnessed, even in that party, We call attention to the matter because, to allow the city to pay Boleg's debt would be an outrage which ths people will not tolerate. While we don't think the Democratic police board, to which Uie matter has been referred, will allow it, yot we prooose to m& m. If they do, auch a storm will burst over their little official heads that will drive them from their offices, and the party to which they belong to everlasting defeat at the May election, with all the scorn, contempt aifd Infamy which such an act would deserve. tkmorratir Anrampni.

The value of whose products is counted by millions of dollars, feel their advantage over limited dealers more than ever before, for they can afford to sell tlieir merchandise at a much lower figure than small dealers can. Our belief remains unshaken, and we shall act upon it, that the best time to sell cheap is when others are selling dear that more fortunes have been made by selling at low prices than at high prices and, finally, that the price tells, and every body tells the price, whether the price be high or low.

The fabrics from whichjfwe manufactured our spring ami summer stock were selected before the recent advance, which enables us to not only save our customers the middleman's profit, but also save them the recent advance that every small dealer had to pay for his goods.

The question raised in the WashburneDonnelly case, of seating Donnelly, who was beaten by 8,000 majority, in place of Washburne, who was to be rousted for fraud' is exactly that which made the celebrated conflict between John Wilkes and the British government in 1768-69. Wilkes* had been expelled from parlia-

ment, and outlawed four years before for itiblications iedecent and libelous The

county of Middlesex elected him on his

return from France, and he had been again expelled for charging that an attack or troops on the people nad been planned by the ministry, The county elected him again and again—four times altogether— after his second expulsion, and His seat was declared vacant every time for ineligibility. The fourth time the house of commons did iust what the democrats proposed to do with Donneily. They put Wilkes's opponent in the seat declared vacant, though he had been beaten as badly as Donnelly. That raised the same question. Parliament might unseat a representative, but could it put in the seat as a represehtative of the constituency a man who had not only not been elected, but had, by a large majority, been rejected? Wilkes became the hero of popular rights, though in iail, and the moat popular man in England.—Indianapoli* Newt.

A count-out means a dispute, a dispute means that fraud will have to be backed up by force, and force means civil war. And when the Democratic conspirator has got that far he will turn to the ballot and read once more: "For President—Ulysses S. Grant." By that time the ink in his pen will be dry, and he wont take another dip. These are facts in history so stupendous that the memory of them is a moral force. Vicksburg is one of them. Appomattox is another. The intuition of Uie "plain, common people" is right,, as usual. Grant can never be counted out.— Ronton Traveler.

AN Irishman of Montana was working a placer mine a few miles from Bear Gulch, and visited that place to get his. tools sharpened. Just as he was about to start back some one told him that if ho would go home by the way of Sour Krout Gulch he would not mfss his way," but would save several miles of walking. Pat started out, but after traveling several miles, the sun was almost down, and he had seen nothing that looked familiar. At last he made up his min4 that he was, lost, and, to use his own words, fcareddie', "would be robbed and murdered entirly all alone." While he was in this state of mind, he spied a cinnamon bear on the side of the mountain and was almost ready to fall to the ground with fright. Recovering nis self-possession a little, lie/, said: "I thought it wouldn't do to let.

the bear think I was afraid of him and concluded I might intimidate him by making him think there was several of me. So, walking a little faster, Itcallcd. out as loud as iver I could, 'Mike! Oi say, Mike: hould on till I catch up wid ye and the rest o' the b'ysf. When the bear heard that he walked away and said not a word."

allow They Vote In England. The voting is now done in England by the strictest system of ballot. Our own ballot, methocf is very loose in comparison. The English elector is obliged to go into a room oy himself, to seal up his ballot, and to bring it thus sealed to the ballot box. He is compelled to keep it secret how he actually votes, and there are severe penalties for those who try to intimidate vaters to tell how they have cast their ballot. Sometimes, in the larger boroughs and in the counties, the balloting continues for several days. When at last this is completed, the votes are counted the people gather at official headquarters and the result is announced.—Ismdan Truth.
