That man Peck who conceived and carried through to success the idea of the auditorium is a whole bushel.

Mr. Grady and Mr. Cleveland were talking last night at Boston. The latterwill keep at it until after the national convention of his party in 1832.

When a member of the police board is the chief proprietor of the several policy shops in the city it is eminently consistent in the board to grant immunity to the proprietor of a keno game.

We don't remember ft meaner trick than the statement of the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Herald that Congressman Cannon can get all the offices he wants for his friends in the depurtmeDts at Washington.

What is sauca for the Main street gambler is not sauce for the Second street "goose." In other words police protection for Main street gambling houses and a councilman's policy shop is too good a thing for the Second street keno room.

Grover has taken the advice of his friends and was not so dolorous last night

ft3

he has been since his defeat

last November. Indeed he says that "good men have no cause for discouragement." The new Republican administration could hardly ask for higher commendation.

And so the police board had given permissiomfor the keDO game which the police raided. The police deserve credit, although the defense set up by them that keno is an unfair, robbing game leaves them no alternative but to raid the policy shops, even though a member of the police board is the chief proprietor.

The ballot bos forgery business does not deserve the attention of congress. There is no doubt that the signatures of senators and cougressmen were forged. The matter belongs in the criminal courts of Ohio, and if they can not reach all the implicated persons it might be well to have a commission on lunacy. Either the penitentiary or the insane asylum should receive additional inmates, or perhaps both, as a result of that criminal and insane campaign roorback.

The ex Confederates in Sr. Louis who adopted resolutions of respect for the memory of Jell Dnvia were carried awry by their "rounded periods," and referred to JetT'd "resignation" to defeat as heroic and beautiful. The only difference between hia "resignation" and that of a woman in Pennsylvania, is that Jeff was able for years to protest vehemently that ho

waB

"resigned," whereas the woman

who was "resigned" to die because she couldn't help herself couldn't bother all the rest of us with insane ravings over her fate.

The members of the house of representatives are responsible for the acts of their agent-?. Liaedom and Silcott were their agents iu collecting at the treasury department their salaries for which purpose the agents were given the members' checks in the shape of vouchers. .Leedom and Silcott were not acting as government agents in the performance of these errands. If the congressmen can recover from these messengers, or if the bond the messengers gave was to cover such losses, recover from the bondsmen, well and good, but congress must not appropriate money out of the public treasury to reimburse the congressmen. The mistake is in the confusion of the duties of the sergeant at-arms.

It is said that both the old school book monopoly people and the friends of the new law claim that Judge Frazier's decision is favor, able to their respective sides. The only feature of it favorable to the old monopoly is the opinion that the law is not compulsory. The court holds that it is entirely valid. Therefore, the question ia shall the ollicera of the state obey it in good jaith, as the people undoubtedly desire them to do, or shall they join with the monopoly in putting obstacles in the way of its execution? Judging from the methods of the past the monopoly has cause to be gratified with that part of the opinion which leaves the trustees open to its blandishments. The monopoly does not consider the wishes of the people or the intent of the laws if it can seccre opportunity to practice its peculiar and corrupt practices with those who have the selection of books.

The Minneapolis tire with its tragic result has, perhaps, served the purpose of uniting the twin cities that have been anything eise than twins in their rivalry and jealousy. The St. Paul Pioneer Press says that it is gratified to welcome the Minneapolis Tribune to the viewe it, the Pioneer Press, has always held of the relations of the two cities. The

THE

Tribune said that "the two cities are one" and that a more organic union is not improbable. It has always seemed to those of us at a distance that the rivalry qf the two cities should be looked upon aa the most good natured thing in the world. The identity of interests ^as BO complete that the strife for leadership seemed to be the best possible impetus for both until they had secured a supremacy in the great empire of the northwest which would force them as now seemB likely, to come together and work as one for the further development of their great section.

The New Orleans Picayune concedes that Secretary Proctor was right and kind in his message to Mayor Shakespeare, declining to lower the flag over the war department building becauee of the death of Jeff Davis, who once was at the head of that department. The Northern Democratic press is universal ly of the same opinion. While Mr. Limar was secretary of the interior he lowered the flag when Jacob Thompson, a former secretary, died and the Democratic press everywhere defended the action. The friend a of Jeff Davis since the war have defended him time and again from' the charge of being even aware [of Jake Thompson's infamous plots hatched in Canada during the war. They have felt that Davis would be everlastingly execrated if it were shown that he countenanced the dastardly warfare Thompson was engaged in on the government he had robbed and deserted. Why is it then that the flag should have been lowered for one and not the other? We think the inconsistency is the strongest proof that the people have rebuked the act of Mr. Cleveland's secretary of the interior.

Colonel Johnston told the Charlotte, N. C., Davis memorial moeting that he was with Jeff when the latter received the telegram announcing the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. It was at a public meeting. Colonel Johnston says that Mr. Davis remarked: "That is a very extraordinary communicatiL^-" The telegram was read to the crowd. "There were a few cheers on the outskirts," says Colonel JohnstoD, "but they were inspired by the presence of the confederate president." Ingenuous Colonel Johnston! At thBt mordent, as at every moment of Jeff Davis' life from the dBy of his surrender, there was a grand opportunity for Jeff Davis to have shown some of the greatness which is now so fulsomely attributed to him. Then he could have accepted the situation. Then was a grand opportunity to have said a word that would have done more to bring speedy, reconciliation between the sections than anything said or done since. But true to his stubborn spirit that prolonged the war needlessly, after the best men in the confederate government had disapproved of his lest ditch policy as a useless sacrifice of life, the man who who tried to escape from the country, leaving others to meet expected and merited punishment, had nothing to say except "that is a very extraordinary communication." It wan, indeed, an extraordinary communication to the man who lived a quarter of a century after Abraham Lincoln's death.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

New York Sun (Dem.): Secretary Proctor's omission to tly the Hag of the war department at half-mast on account of the death of Jefferson Davis was right.

New York Herald: After almost tLree years of legal delays the murder of Lyman S. We^ks was avenged In Brooklyn yesterday. When Justice can be baffled long the law loses half Its terrors. Greenwald was a worthless assassin and he died with a He upon Ills lips.

Chicago News: The jurors In the Cronln trial do not suiter from lack of variety In the eloquence with which they are being deluged. First one lawyer puts them asleep by his tedious and prosy speech, then another puzzles and amuses them by his absurd comparison and ridiculous Illustrations, and then enmes still another man of law who, by Ills Impassioned oratory, draws tears from their eyes. Each and every man on that jury ought to be qualified to act as a professor or elocution by the time the trial Is ended.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: Senator Turple's resolution that the penal enactment against trusts should provide for the seizure of trust goodJ upon warrant and Information, and for the forfeiture, confiscation and sale of the same, the proceeds, we suppose, to be covered Into the United States treasury. Is of very doubtful constitutionality, and of somewhat demagogic sound, but It would not have been introduced to the senate If the temper of the people had not been very bitter against trusts. The mere fact of a resolution so radical being Introduced to a body so conservative Is conclusive evidence of the determination of the people to uiuke an end of the system.

December 12.—David

Million, of the firm of Funch, Edye & Co., fdkmerly champion oarsman of Australia, is adrift on the Atlantic ocean in a small boat. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Dillon and Boarding Clerk Transgood, of the custom house, went down the bay to board the incoming bark, Mare. Transgood boarded the bark and Dillon remained in the small boat, which was taken in tow. When last seen he was being driven to sea before a howling gale which was blowing off shore at the time.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

The small army of scribes which inveded the new auditorium at its dedication on Monday evening witnessed many funny incidents which found no place in the formal reports of the exercises, simply because there waa no place for them, says the Chicago Herald. The reporters who sought to gain an early entrance to the building found their way blockaded by the crowds waiting to purchase the admission tickets that were never sole5. They must get in to do tht ir work properly, and they resorted to stratBgem. The Herald contingent sought the private entrance on Michigan avenue, pushing their way through the throngs o.n the pavement and past the officer on duty. They walked ahead with a bold front which argued authority, and they were, not stopped. At the stage door the fair women and brave men of the Apollo club were alighting from carriage-". The tiret Herald man encountered the doorkeeper with the open sesame, "Apollo club tenors," and the scribes were allowed to pass. Each wore a carnation in his buttonhole and they really looked like tenors. Qnce inside. a couple of turns and a shBrp descent found them beneath the great stage. Luckily the leader had inspected the building thoroughly and knew the ropes. He led the way through a labyrinth of scantling, pillars, etc., to the other side of the stage.

Only one" mistake was made by the leader en route. He turned aside at an open door and found himself on the threshold of the ladies' cloak-rootrrfor the feminine members of the Apollo chorus. One glance inside was sufficient and the scribes beat a hasty retreat. A shallow flight of 6teps looked inviting and they soon reached the stage proper. The door leading from the stage to the side corridor was tried and found to be locked. "We have no key," said a stage hand who

WBS

appealed to for aid amid

a flashing of i^portorial stars. "Do as the ethers do," he 8dded. "Go out and jump from the stage." The. scribes went through the box to be occupied by President Harrison, reached the footlights, jumped into the orchestra well, and then threaded their way out through the side corridor to the lobby, where they found the doors still closed in the face of the impatient crowd outside. They checked their coats and made ready for business. Then Manager Adams came along and caught sight of them. ''How did you people get in?" he demanded. "W were tenors in the Apollo club's chorus at the BtBge door, but now we are reporters," said the spokesman. Then Manager Adams made several desultory remarks about nerve food, and gall, and effrontery, but he made no further move.

When the doors were opened and the crowds poured in, the acribes began to jot down the names of the notables. In many instances they were given outside assistance. Men would dispose of their outer garments and then drift over toward the reporters and remark incidentally that they were there with their families. Outsiders who knew the reporters and who wanted themselves to see the people come in, would stand around and tell off the names of new arlivals. A certain young and well-known theatrical manager did tfyie: "That is Peter Gilsey, of the Gilsey house, New York City,"" he said, and the industrious scribes proceeded to immortalize Peter. Pretty soon the young manager returned and said: "I'm not sure whether that is Peter or Willinm Gilsey, but Billy Lyon is with the party and I'll go and ask him to make sure." lla went over Bnd called Mr. Lyon nside. "Bill," he asked "is that Peter or William Gilsey?" Mr Lyon grinned and replied: "It's Henry Gilsey." The young manager quit.

The reporters who stood near the main doors were greatly amused by somo of the characters who drifted in with the tide—or with a tide, just as you please. Along about S:15 in walked a gentleman who carried probably as tidy a load as one would care to eee in a da's walk. Some people would term it a "jog," and it was one of those dignified '•j'igs" which the eolid business man occasionally arms himself with. This particular man was in immaculate full dreES, with shiny silk hat and regulation topcoat but when he reached the lobby he apparently did not know whether he vas ii ling a bicycle or plnyicg lawn tennis. To the uninitiated he appeared perfectly sober, but to "the boys" he seemed to possess several characteristics of the fabled boiled owl which is referred to in song and story. The dazed glare h:ch occupied both of his eyes indicated that if approached by a direct question he would be unable to tell whether he WHS in the auditorium or on the government pier. But he never lost his dignity, not even in the fog of spirituous breath which preceded him wherever he went. At 11 p. m. he turned up again at the cuter portal, apd he was perfectly sober. For three straight hours he had wandered through the rast building, in search of his seat, and the walk had disposed of his "jag." Thi6 man waa one among several who did likewise. "Those young ushers who have charge of the corridors leading to the boxes, said a young man Monday night, "have, I thihk, the hardest job in the building. There are always a set of exceedingly fresh young roosters who can boast of only a full drees suit and a well developed nerve, who delight to push themselves to the fore on every occasion and to be seen hobnobbing with the real swells. They rush by these young ushers and thrust their society upon the occupants of the boxes. Now, if the holders of these bores were not gentlemen, these parasites would be thrown out without ceremony. What do you suppose would happen to a man who pushed his way into a private corner at a prize tight? Why, he would be used to dust up the earth. But you can not curb these freBh ducks at the opera. They will make themselves obnoxious to good people in spite of all that can be done. I pity these poor little ushers."

HEARTLESS-JOHNSTOWN.

Tba People Regard a Few Lives a« Unimportant. JOHNSTOWN,

December

12.—Theinves­

tigation into the cause of the theater disaster was concluded shortly before midnight, and a verdict rendered that death was caused in each case by Buffocation in a jam resulting from a panic precipitated by a falee alarm of fire in Parke's opera house during a performance. The jury also found that owing to the insufficient number of exits and the narrowness and faulty construction of the only one to the house, the building is entirely unsafe for any public gathering, and requests the authorities to take proper measures to prevent any public assemblies in the building as now constructed. The funerals of some of the victims will take place this afternoon and the others will be buried tomorrow.

The visitors to Johnstown were forcibly struck by the unconcern and coolness with which citizens on every hand viewed this last disaster. There were no weeping women lingering about the morgue no knots of men standing around the street corners discussing the event.' People approached for information gave it without a touch of pathos or of sentiment, and treated the whole affair as an everyday occurrence. There is a logical explanation of all this. For over six months the people of Johnstown have Been more dead bodies probably than any other community in the world. It has been a daily spectacle to see a wagon load of victims of the great 'flood borne through the town from one cemetery to another. Piles of coffins stacked on the pavement in front of undertaker's place, or at the graveyard gates, long ago ceased to excite comment. So it was that people began to compare the loss of ten lives with 5,000, and draw the conclusion that Tuesday night'e disaster was a slight onp.

Although the Parke operrf house has for years been condemned in public opinion, if not officially, there was today no suggestion of proceedings against the owner or managers for the

JOBS-of

life. Inquiry as to the probable course of the victims' families brought the opinion that it was not likely anything would be done. The remark that "Johnstown's cursed" has been made frequently since the flood and it was repeated yesterday and to-day in some quarters.

GIRLS IN RED TROUSERS.

A School That Teaches How to Walk Cor rpctly—Military Kvolutlons.

Fifty fair young damsels of the staid old Quaker city have organized them selves into a military company to emu late the Amazon in "The Queen's Mate" and practice the military maneuvers now a feature of every comic opera, And to think of the shocked eeneibili ties picturing them in red trousers, for that is what they wear, scarlet blouses and trousers, with a crazy little black ballet skirt reaching only half way to the kneee. The force is under the in struction of Lieutenant W. R. Hamilton who is a military adviser besides to Gov ernor David B. Hill.

The girls belong to the Philadelphia Ogonitz seminary, says the New York Sun, and have been under this military drill for about six weeks. They are separated into four companies, and drill twice each we6k without weapons though these are to be presently pro vided. Miss Bennett, the principal of the school, has introduced this innova tion to bring about a change in the car riage of the young ladies. American women walk very badly, according to her idea, possessing neither the eaBe characteristic of English ladies nor the inherent grace of French women. It seems that military instruction has been introduced into several Eastern schools witti good effect, and the Quaker misses are making wonderful advancement in the art of taking an attractive Btride since they learned to right about face with their "heels together, chests well up, eyes straight ahead, and arms hanging natur ally at the side."

SIGNS OF A HARD WINTER.

Philadelphia Record: The beavers at the zoological garden have just finished building a double-deck house, with a cellar Bnd bey window, and have made application to Superintendent Brown for a ton of coal. On the strength of this action the weather man hns laid in a stock of cold wave flags.

Portland Oregonian: Capt. J. E. Lorn bard was telling an interesting group of listene.-s Saturday about what the Indians at Hood River are prophesying. "Tht re was one old fellow there," said the captain, "whw, from his thproughly dried up odd wrinkled face, might have been two or three hundred years old, who said to mf: 'Heap ice. Heap cold.' 'Why so?' we asked him. 'Pienty acorns. Always be plenty acorns, heap cold, heap ice.'"

Pendleton Tribune: Pah-de-hah, an Indian from up the river, brought into town yesterday a snow bunting that he had killed up the country, and for which he desired $10. The presence of these birds so far south at this time of the year is said by the weather prophets to b8 a sure indication that the coming winter will be severe. Trie snow buntings remain up in the glacier country until the Bnow falls so thickly that they can obtain no more food. They then come south.

JUDGE MACK AND THE JURY.

lie Talks About Temperance, Tobacco Chewing alid Cigarette Smoking.

Judge Mack delivered a temperance lecture to the grand jury. One of the grand jurors wanted to be excused from serving ou the jury. The statement of these two facts in the same connection must not be construed to mean that Judge Mack's temperance lecture was the cause of the juror wishing to be excused, because it is not known that such was the cause. The grand jury Bre laboring under very strict instructions from the court. The judge has also instructed at length about boys chewing tobacco, called attention to the evil habits that boys were contracting 8od which they would regret in the future, he referred to the perniciou3 habit of boys smoking cigarettes, and from the tenor of his instructions it was concluded that he regretted that all cigarette smokers eould not be deprived of that luxury by the law. He

gave the jury ex­

plicit instructions that they should not return an indictment unleses there should be evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. Concerning hie temperance lecture to the jury it is Baid (but not "officially") that he was prompted to do so on account of various reports that one of the jurymen appeared to have been drinkiug last Monday. The grand jury is still at work on the case of Samuel Ramsey.
