Cities Minor Mention.
" Philadelphia, May. 24. A new idea
has taken root in the minds of many
leading- ministers; of eastern.1 cities re
specting politics.' They have, decided to
speak out against its evils emphatically;"
and in this city several sermons were de
livered Sunday having- a bearing pon
tbe subject. In a conversation with one
of, tbeae; ministers-- today, . he- ..saidr
''Presidential years are great educators,
they are good things - iir many way ei
They, excite people to study., the ' prihei.
pies on which their country was founded,
and the great- underlying principles : of
the different political parties;- but they
are unmitigated nuisances, all the same.
There is nothing in the papers but poll'
tics; nothing but laudation of. one can
didate and abuse of the other, and this
is .put in Buch form that neither; candir
date would know his own picture as i t is
pbotographecL by the; average political
editor; ? If he belongs to tbe other side,
there is not a virtue Tn"! bind ; not the
slightest onev - How, he has Jived o long
without ah 'outraged publie exterminat
ing him is the wonder..". Wbileif on the
other side, he is a radiant angel sent to
earth to do good.v to mankind; to set
man a high and holy exam pie, and in all
bis difficulties to guide him. in the right
path.. How such an angel-has-lived so
long ia the woAderl of 5 the; reader. . ' And
this goes on week, after week and month
after month. The people are assured, if
one candidate happens- to- be elected and
the other defeated', "everytmrig wnl go to
destruction.- And' still the bid Ship of
State keeps sailing along as though there
were not any: party holding 'it -.up. But
every year more and more comes to the
mind -of : the thoughtful ' American the
fact that if the country shall be pre
served it must bo through ' the work; in
the homes of the people, ..and that the
counfry win euirviyp just as long -as-- the
fathers and mothers of the country', are'
worthy men and women, and no longer;
and. that the politicians -cannot change

Sboelas; a Pauper's Horse.
: '. '.'. . '. . , Kihgslky, May 20, 1891j
Editor . Chronicler . In : your last, official
report of the expenditures of the county
there was an item that-read, ''Shoeing a
pauper's horse: $2.50," Now. some of
the taxpayers out: here would like to
have a little light on this item.. Are our
paupers furnished, with horses ;to: ride
around, the country on,- ani are .these
horse shod at the county's .expense?
And if eo, does it cost $2.50 to get a,pu:
per'a horse shod when a non-pauper can .
get' it done for 1.50 to- $2.00. ; Believing
in the uniform fairness and" honesty - of
Tub Chuqniclk, and that it will tell the
truth, ; Task for ari. explanation. " ."

: "The county Has an orphan boy in its
charge' who got bitten on the beel by a
snake... The" wound ' was neglected and
when the lad came to the poorhouse it.
w;as tbought;for' a time- hia. ioot. would
have to be amputated to , save; hia life.
A successful effort was made to save the
foot and as soon' as the wound : healed
up, arrangements were made to send the
lad to the public school in this city. As
it-was impossible for him to walk a dis
tance of over three .miles, he was fur
nished: with- a, horse -which . cost the
county $20, and which is said to be worth
the money at any time he is not' needed".
The horse had a pair of old shoes put on
his fore feet on Feby. 4lh',' by . Young
& Kuss, ,and ' a , full new set o April 19.
The.cbarge-for the pair was 50 -cents and.
tor the set $2.00, the common charge for
Buch work, everywhere. These are the
facts - in the case. ' Men . will judge
whether it was wiser or more humane to
allow an orphan cripple to ' grow up in
ignorance or furnish biai with such education-,
in the only way it could be fur
nished, as might fit him for earning bis
own-living and thus - be .removed from
the position of a county charge. Editor.

New Yokk , May 24. The latest rumor
about Gen. Raum is to the effect that
the president has concluded to unlowd
mm in a gentle way. It is said that be
fore leaving Washington on his recent
trip on the Chesapeake, the president
informed Gen. Raum. that, while he had
every confidence in him. yet the rela
tions between the head of the interior
department and the chief of the pencil,!!
bureau had been so strained that he had
concluded to cut the string before it
snapped.' - -
:-. Powerful PollUcal Maeblnets.
A soldiers' movement has been started
in Syracuse, N. Y.f which may have an
important influence on the politics of
the state. The plan is to oriranize
veteran leagues all over the state and '
give them a distinctively political char
acter;. local as well as general. There
will be a-civic committee for every as
sembly district in the state; a vice-commander
for every : town, and ward, and
he will have a staff of ten members. The
soldiers are hopeful of building joer

Kditiir Chronicle: .
The Times-Mountaineer of last Satur
day contained the following:
"An excursion to the Cascade Locks,
for the benelit. of the Regulator' band,
left the city this morning at baif-puHt 7
o'clH-k on-the steamer Regxdator.''.
Who told ' '; "Johnny come last"
that the. excursion was given for the
benefit of the Regulator baud? There
is not n ten-year-olil lxy in Tne IJalles
who docs not know that the baud gave
its services without so much as a. cent
of charge; and so-duet-: brother Michel 1.
The paragraph is one more evidence of
the: utter ' smallnees' of the man who
wrote it.'. The Regulator band din's not
need any benefits and never intends to
ask any.- As it was there was no danger
of any of Johnny - Come Last's money
being invested in anything that would
pertain to the Regulator or its band
either. When it is a question of decency
or public spirit the editor ol trie itnie
