Speaker Carlisle has taken a week or ten days longer to announce the house committees than is customary. The trouble seems to be in the fact that there are too many Democrats and too

The Express thing shall be done by the police board in the matter of the robbery at Confare & Cassiday's. The police powers were taken from Merchant Policeman O'Reilly. The Express has never de fended his conduct in the matter nor criticised the board for its action in withdrawing the powers. With good grace, therefore, the Express insists that the officers whose wrong-doing in releasing their priseners is not denied be stripped of authority.

Many of our exchanges in com xnenticg on the effort being made here to get cheaper telephone service are astoundingly ignorant of the merits of the discussion. Here is the Richmond Palladium, for instance, insisting "that one half the present rate would bring more profit to the company by inducing a greater number of persons to become subscribers." We confess that we were once given to this sort of reasoning, but out of the present contention over the rates we have been enlightened We would advise all of those newspa pers that are possessed of the ridicu lous idea that an increased amount of telephone service will decrease the proportionate coBt to Btir up a row with their telephone companies if for no other purpose but the acquirement of knowledge. We assure them the telephone people will argue that an in crease of service will entail an increase in the cost, and, what is more, will produce figures, if you have the pa tience to permit them to do so, prove the statement.

The Chicago newspapers have been charging that the board of aldermen iB controlled by bribery. Day before yesterday the grand jury sent for all the editors. Referring to this the News says:

When a newspaper hints at the open, notorious, everywhere-admitted sale and purchase of public duties by the aldermen or county commissioners, forthwith the grand Jury issues Its subpeenas calling the editors up to learu how much they really know, and, above all, who has "squealed." Of course no Indictments are ever found. Instead, however, the gang is advised, through friends on the grand Jury, who has talked too much to the newspapers, and the offender is spotted for punishment when the opportunity is presented.

Such proceedings are not singular to Chicago. Suppose a Torre Haute newspaper made the statement that the laws regarding the liquor traffic, gambling and other matters were openly violated as all the city knows to be the fact, what sense would there be after summoning the editor of the newspaper and failing to get from him sufficient evidence to convict a violator in ^announcing that the jury or prosecutor could accomplish nothing, or in accusing the newspaper of making feckless charges. But such a thing is not altogether unlikely.

The celebrations of notable anniversaries have their value. We receive new impressions of our national prosperity and glory by the occasional study forced upon us by such events as the celebration to-day, by the New England societies, of the landing of the Puritans in 1620. It might be that other settlements are well worth their appropriate memorial, even if as recent that of Kentucky, with its tragedy of the "dark and bloody ground," or of the occupation of the Eldorado on the Pacific, which added so much to our prosperity. But this particular historical event, in its purpose so different from all other colonial movements and by its influences so marked in the subsequent political growth of America is a historical silhouette, which, by its strong lines and deep shading, really stands out in bolder relief than any similar event since the first voyage of Columbus. It best observed, not as a sectional affair but as an incident in the great movement which transferred to the new world the best elements of the old world's civilisation, to grow more rapidly here than was possible under the old conditions.

Out here, in (he center of the country, where is such a fusion of all the races which settled the North, Middle states and the South, not to mention the very recent emigration, there are not many to celebrate, with lineal devotion and ancestral honors, the forefathers. Still there can be no evading the pressure of their continuing influence. We cannot escape from our pilgrim predecessors, turn where we may.

In the east, perhaps not no frequenty in later years, the privations of the suffering Plymouth colony are commemorated at a banquet, and the sedate, austere Puritan is honored by speeches and poems from the most cheerful and witty of men. Why is it that in our glorifications and mutual admiration gatherings we never see the sad ghost which haunts them? The shades of the Indian kings who foresaw and struggled against the annihilation of their people, who were hunted in life, and in death find no rest in the heaven of their conquerers, must forever revolve tbe question, Why should the pilgrims' hymns and the Catholics' Te Deums be followed by the quick destruction of their people, as complete as that of the Canaanites by the hosts of Joshua. For ages there has been a resMees rush from the east to the west, and the stronger types have absorbed or destroyed the weaker in their progress. The fittest survive and the wanton waste of life was a means under inexorable law but still remains the accountability of a proud race which oppressed and robbed the weak, settled in part by many a reprisal, and still unsettled a» long as a feeble remnant of the Indians remains as a political puazle. Vi

The crowding advance goes jbi. New England has ev&t-J ... from. The Yankee teacher, preacher, doctor, lawyer and trader have wandered from I'assamaquoddy Bay to the Rio Grande. Like the honey-bees they head the procession of civilisation. The limit in the west was the Pacific and in the south it will be near De Lesseps' canal. It is in the coming history that this pansive people will fill the continent, and still will there be enough remote and collateral heirs to hold a gathering to celebrate the virtues of the noble old forefathers.

The temperance people claim to be better organised in Indiana now than ever before, and are no wise discouraged'through the loss by death of one of their foremost workers. Organisation, with a view to the pending elec tion is going forward, and by spring, it is claimed, every township the state will have an organisation pledged to work against every candidate who does not come out squarely for con stitntional and statnatory prohibition. Unless one of the political parties champions their cause, the temper ance people will put a separate ticket in the field. "Suppose one of the par ties should declare in favor of igh license, and the other against all temperas ce legislation, what position would the temperance people take?" This question was put to-day to M. E. Sbiel, of the Monitor-Journal. He answered, "We would rather have no legislation than high licensetand would certainly put a separate ticket in the field, even if we knew of our certain defeat and the defeat of the high license proposition."

A niteen-y»»ar-old Girl of Georgia who Rivals Shuts in Evidences of Spirit Power. j.

Ro», Ga., December 21.—The Cherokee section of Georgia is greatly excited over the^ manifestations of Miss Lulu Hurst,' the fifteen-year-old daughter of Mr. William E. Huret, a substantial farmer of Polk county. The stories told are of such a strange character that Col. Freeman, of the Cedartown Advertiser, Tr. F. M. Liddell and several other prominent citizens went out to Mr. Hurst's residence for the purpose of investigating them. They found the young lady to be the picture of health and of modest manners. Upon a request to manifest some of her newlydeveloped powers, she are and placed her hands upon the back of a common chair, which soon began to move, first slowly, then violently. The doctor was requested to hold the chair.

He was unable to do so alone, andiwo, then three men tried, with no better effect Apparently there was not a particle or physical force used by the young lady, her hands merely resting carelessly on the back of the chair. On a previous occasion four of the stoutest men in the neighborhood had found it impossible to hold the chair. A large old-fashioned bedstead Btood with its head back in the corner of the room. On the foot of the bed Mws Lulu placed her hands lightly, and'the bed arose two feet in the air and moved swiftly around the room. Miss Lora Wimberly, a cousin of Miss Lulu while in bed recently, heard a thumping noise on the head-board, which she thought was produced by her cousin with her fingers, and requested her to stop and go to sleep. Miss

Lulu protested innocence, yet the sound grew more audible. A playful remark that it should strike her caused a sensation like a slight shock to be felt by Miss Wimberly about the face. The sound was then called to manifest itself where commanded about the bed, and the bed was finally com manded to move, and, to the wonder of the occupants, it rolled briskly around the room. This is the circum stance which led to the subsequent ex-

S[iss

eriment. On a recent occasion, while Lulu was lying across the bed, she thought of some favorite air, when its name emanated strangely from the -.ad-board of the bed, and was heard by more than a half a dozen persons sitting around the room. On another occasion an uncle, above the ordinary weight, sat in a chair, his feet on the rounds, while the lady placed the hand with an undersrrip on the upper back A the chair and lifted him across the floor. These people know nothing of spiritualism, and are sorely troubled by manifestations which they deem the work of an evil spirit. People from far and near come daily to see and hear the latest developements. v^'l-

Weather in Winnipeg,

Chicago Herald. There were over three hundred Canadians at the different hotels in the city yesterday. They were distinguishable by their long "buffalo coats," heavy blue flannel shirts, and robust appearance generally. One of the guests stopping at the Sherman said to the Herald reporter: "Oh, we are only on a little Christmas trip. The most of us are from Winnipeg and the 'Rockies,' and we are going to Montreal and the eastern part of Canada to see our^ relatives and friends, and have a big time." "How about the temperature in your section of the country "You folks seem to be froze out here with the thermometer only five or six below zero we, have had it 25 below already. Why, last winter we had it 50 and 60 below. The old thermometer dropped as far as it could go, and after that we had to guess the temperature."

A Girl Who Would Not Tend Bar. ATLANTA, Ga., December 21.—One Reieker, of Atlanta, had the police noflWay, and she "was stopped at Charlotte, N. C. The girl is fourteen yeara old. She explained that her father was a saloonkeeper and made her tend bar and deal out whisky to his customers, not-of the best class either that her soul revolted at this and she was going to seek the aid of relatives at Chester, S. C.,or.to work. Her mother, she said, advised her to runaway. The police captain took the girl home with him, and sent her on the next train, under proper escort, to Chester.
