A little more than four years ago , T. E. Mc-
Craclcen. who then held a position under the
Arthur administration in the general pustof-
flee department at Wnshington City , came to
his Iowa home to east a vote for Blaine and
Logan. Ho was stoutly importuned by h's old
democratic friends to vote for Cleveland and
reform and to thus aid in turning tho'Tascals
out ; " indeed , there v/as so much euld that the
Col. thought best to state his reasons publicly
why ho could not leave the g. o. p. nt the be-
hpsts of the clamors of tho crowd to support
democratic notions of • • reform. " Cleveland
was elected ; his cabinet olliccrs appointed.
\V. F. Vilas was madepostmaster general and
it was ho that invented the phrase "offcnslvo
partisan" that was so briskly applied to radi
cal republicans , as a reason for their dismissal.
In due time , the reasons given by McCracken
which proved to be a prophesy were clipped
from the paper in which they were published
and8ent with persoual letters of aSlinon-puro
democrat , oue to Cleveland and one to Post
master Vilas.in the interests of rcform.and Mc
Cracken , soon thereafter , was dlMiiissed lrom
thoserviee. and a Mississippi Kuktux given his
place-The Colonel thinks "rebel" should be
substituted lot "rascal , " and tho work of turn
ing tho latter out begin soon after the 4th of
March next. Below wo give the offensive ar
ticle in question :
"WHY NOT. "
Since arriing at home I have been asked ir
I did not think it ivmilil tie better loi-iliec < > uii-
try to have a climigo in the administration ?
and if I was not going to vote Tor "Cleveland
and Ueformy" and if not , why not ? Below are
some < il my reasons "why not. " Three fourths
ot ttie available strength of tho democratic
party is confined to the southern states , and
should the party gain the victory , November
4tb , the south would have full and complete
control of the affairs of this nation. And a
vote for Cleveland would be an acknowedge-
ment on my part that I desired to tie governed
by ex-rebels. It would beaeknowledging that
the lebels did right in linng upon Fort comp
ter in 18U1. thus precipitating a bloodv war
upon the nation. J would b < > acknowledging
that the starving to death of Union soldiers in
soutlifi-ii piison pens was the riyht thing to
have been done. I would be acknowledging
that a war debt of twentj-eight hundred mill
ion dollars , fastened upon the people bj the
leaders of the democratic party was a right
eous act. I would be acknowledging that the
breaking of chains and setting at liberty four
million humar beinirs , whose God given rights
to life , liberty and the pursuits ol happiness
are equal to our own. was all wrong. L would
be acknowledging that free trade was better
for American citizens than protection. I would
beaeknowledging that tree banks and "wild
cat" money are preferable to treasury notes ,
gold and silver certificates and national bank
bills. By the act , I would aekuow edge that a
laborer could support himself and fnmily bet
ter , and therefore be happier , on VZ'A cents a
day , than he can and is at a § 1 25 a dav. I
would bo acknowledging that Henry Ward
Beecher's "monkey business" and ( Irover
Cleveland's liMnch neck , are calculated to
bring about for society greater refoims and
much greater morals. For the ercasons. ( and
many others ) . I shall not vote lor Cleveland
and "Reform , " nor the Old Copperhead. Hen
dricks | ; but will cast a vote for the party that
saved the Union ; that spurned tho idea of re
pudiation ; that gave us the best currency in
;
the World ; has paid nearly one-halt of the
enormous war debt , and in the meanwhile has
| kept up the running expenses of the govern
ment without oppressing the people. For the
party j that guarantees equal , civi1 . and polit
ical rights to f-very American citizen , whether
he j be white or black. American or foreign
born. For thnt party that proposes to remove
all barriers in tLe wav of pensioning nil Union
soldiers j and providing for their widows and
orphans. For the party that is olO'lged to pro
j tect our manufacturers , produces and labor
ers against English free trade and monopolies.
The party that guarantees to the greatest
cumber j of citizens tiie fullest , freest , most
peaceful \ and economical government , repre
sented bv such grf-at statesmen as Blaine and
Logan ] , is the party that will receive the sup
port and vote of Yours Truly.

Burglars Caught in the Act.
Bexkelmax , Neb , Dec. 14. [ Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ] The store formerly owned
by M. M. Chase & Son at Haiglor. but sinco

They were discovered in tho act , surrounded
by citizens and arrested. Four of them plead
guilty and were bound over in the sum of 300
each. Two others will have their trial , Tues

The rt-cent contest in Boston over members
of tho public school board was the most excit.
ing municipal election held in that city for - .
l
many years. A new element of interest was
introduced , in the vote of the women of tho city ,
who cast 15.000 ballots. The issue was joined
between the Catholics and Protestants and the
employment of Swinton's school text books.to
which the Catholics objected , was the point of
controversy. The anti Catholic element was
victorious at the polls , and none but Protesn-
ants were elected as members of the boarda
Complications of this sort are greatly to bo de1
plored. and are damaging to tho cause of pop
ular instruction. Religious questions should
not be allowed to figure in municipal contests
or in tho management of the public schools ,
and by tho exercise of an intelligent spirit of
liberality on the part of all sects such contin
gencies might be avoided.
TnE purest , the wisest , the most unselfish ,
and tho noblest being that ever appeared on
this ! earth was the Jew , Jesus Christ of Nazar
eth. Moie and more as the world advancQg
and improves it conforms to the spirit and let- a ]
terof the teaching of Him who was the conv
temporary of all the ag ° s. More and more as m
love conquers hate as truth triumphs over
3rror as sweetness and light take tho place of h
rheir opposltes men find themselves in sym-
aathy with Him. Tho truest wisdom on the
part ] of every man is to ally himself to ' Christ
ind to become his earnest devoted follower ,
rhis will yield the highest joy and the most
solid satisfaction a man's nature is capable of. /
When Ho was on earth He said : "I am the i
ight of the world : he that followeth me shall
lot walk in darkness , but shall have the light
aflife. "

The failure of the Punama canal loan puts an
id to thegreat project with which De Lesseps
loped to crown his career. It was a grand _ .
scheme in its conception , and the obstaclesp. .
ivhich have already been overcome would hnve
urncd back perhaps manv another man. But =
long as his money lasted De Les-eps knew
losucli word as fail. When that gave out , and
leither the government nor the people would
jrovide him with more , an obstacle was met "S
vtiich even he could not overcome. De Lesseps 1
very old-more t han 80 years of age. The fail- §
jre of his darling pmject will crush his spirits
mil bieak his heart. He will find no cousola-
ion in the great achievements of his earlier
ears. This , the latest , toweied above all oth
ers. In its failure he will see the record of his
Jfetime buripd in the ruins.
