AUDITOU Yotmo , of the Union Pacific ,
has boon called to Boston. Ho ought to

SENATOU ALLISON donioa that ho had
anything to do with Pholps1 nasnult on
Edmunds. This lota Mr. Allison out
from under the trip hammer.
Aunrron Fnnsn's , flchc-nn of importing
a lot of $65 clerks from Boston to replace
the efficient clerks in the Union PnciOc
headquarters has boon nipped in the bud.
AUDITOR FAKSK , of the Union Pacific ,
is n little too young for this part ot the
country. The climate is too chilly hero
for such a tender plant to grow up with
the country. Lot him bo convoyed back
to Boston where ho can Jhrivo on beana.
SAVE Borne of the Blaine ostimntoi now
being sent out by the nimble arithmetic
man. They will bo interesting curiosi
ties after the convention moots. It will
bo instructivo'thon to observe how easy
it is to mnko Cgurcn lie.
MR , 'HEWITT has boon advising the house
to go slow. If it would bo possible for it
to go any slower in the way of legisla
tion than it is now going without stop
ping altogether , the country would like to
aeo that feat performed. <
EX-SEXAIOU TABOII , the $200 night
eh'irt hero , comes out of obscurity long
enough to say that ho is very sure that
Giant will bo the next president of the
United States. This Bottles a long vexed
question. General Grant will bo glad to
hoar the nowB.
ECONOMY YOUNO , auditor of the Union
Pacific , is generally hold responsible for
the attempted reduction of the working-
men's wages. Ho is not the kind of a
man who will do the Union Pacific any
good. The directors will do a wise thing
by promoting him to Boino other position
.with headquarters in Boston.
' ' OniOAQO health authorities condemned
thirty-one hood of cactlo , a day or two
ago , on the ground that they were oma-
ciatod. They had jnst boon shipped in
from the west. It is certain , however ,
that they did not come from Nebraska.
The people of this State oat all their thin
cattle , and send all their fat cattle away
to bo packed for Europe.
EVERY man in. the house who has had
a job rejected by the river and harbor
committee is lying hi wait for the appro
priation bill with an amendment in favor
of his scheme , 'if the bill runs the
gauntlet without being swamped it will
do well It is known that some of the
amendments that will bo proposed will
aggregate over 82,000,000.
Bon iNor.asoti. and Joro Wilson are go
ing to cross-examine Attorney General
Browstcr before the Springer investiga
tory committee. This is to bo done at
the request of Bob'a friend Kollogg.
Bob , it is wull known , nays there is no

BrowBtor will think there is before the
end of his examination.
Now that the alloys mo being paved
with itono , it is about time that the re
ceiving and delivering of gooda from the
front doors of business houses should bo
otoppod. In many places the sidewalks
are frequently blocked with piles of
Roods , causing great inconvenience to the
public. There ia now no reason why this
practice should bo continued any longer.
THE Grand Army of the Bopublio is
arrayed against the pension bill which
recently .passed the houso. It will al
most un'auimouslyiisk'congroBB to rescind
it. It is hard to see _ what objection a
aoldier could find in.a rooasuro that
makes pensions so , easy to j obtain. 'But
it seems thai the merabern of the grand
army do not like the D'a'w bscaiwo it does
not do away wiUj delays in adjusting
pension claims and repeals part of the
back pension lav.
TUB next term of the Douglas county
istrist court ia near at hand , end in a
few days the county commissioners will
aeloct the names of uion from whom the
grand and petit jurors are to be chosen.
The cotniuiMionerin the eolection of these
names have a very important duty to
perform. They are in fact responsible
for the character of our juries , and hence
they cannot be too careful or disciiinln-
atfog when they select the names. Every
man about whom there is oven o
breath of suspicion should at once bo re.
jsctod , and all known professional jury ,

c iiiinuiis loncrs conscientiously perform
their duty there will bu no jury-fixing.
What wa want is houeat men ou our

the election of jurors' , and it is
ime that R thorough reform should
bu inaugurated.
A COVND1WM ANSWRllKD.
Now lot Mr. Host-water , "tho friend
if the workincmon , " take bsekhiprint
ers nnd pay thorn what tho'y aikA'c / ; -
wllican ,
Why did not the Itqtulllcan pay to
its working men what they askud last
summer ? If It had done so there would
have boon no fitriko in its ofllco or the
DEE ofllco either. The BEE was then
paying two conta a thousand moro than
the JRqwlltcan , and its printers merely
joined in n go n oral printers' strike , al-
thougti they were satisfied with their
pay and treatment in this ofllo. Wo are
paying moro now than the Republican is
paying , and If the BEI : had given its
striking printers what they naked , there
would have boon n atiko in the Jtcpub-
Itcan and Herald ofllcos within twenty-
four hours , But the proprietors of thcso
pnpcra well know that the BEB could not
afford to yield to the absurd and extrav
agant demands of its printers. Ilonco
they felt perfectly safe in secretly giving
aid and comfort to the atriko against the
BEE.
BEE.Thoro
There was another motive behind al
thi ? . The managersof the Union Pacific
who control thcso papers as much as if
they owned thomoxpoctod a strike of the
Union Pacific employes against a reduc
tion which had boon determined upon for
some time. They feared that the BEE
would take up the cause of the workingmen -
men , and they wanted to put it into n
condition which would close its mouth.
A printers' strike in the BEB ofllco was
just the thing for that purpose , as they
thought , and it was accordingly worked
up through the cappers and tools who
circulate Swoosy's hand-bill. As usual ,
Iho schemers over-shot the mark. The
Rnn was not silenced by the printers
strike , and the throats of "boycotting. "
Without weighing the conscquonccs the
BEE boldly championed the cause of the
Union Pacific employes just as it had
done time and again in the past , when
attempts were made to reduce the wage-
workcrb to a moro pittance. It stood
alonG among Omaha newspapers in this
position , and there is no doubt that its
attitude gave moral support to the workingmen -
ingmon , and enabled them to achieve a
pcacoablo victory.
KKLLOQO O. GOULD.
A bombastic manifesto has boon issued
by ono Kellogg 0. Gould , congratulating
the Union Pacific worklngmon upon their
victorious strike. This man Gould is a
counterpart and companion of that cheeky
bilk and blatherskite , Ed. Walsh. Ho
ramo to Omaha , as wo are reliably in
formed , from a tramp through Missouri ,
where ho had boon expelled from iho
printers' union for being a rat and a ocab ,
and has since boon whitewashed. Ho
first became notorious in Omaha during
last Bummer's printers' strike , through
which ho and two or three other common
frauds made themselves proprietors of
the defunct Union. This gang of impos
tors blackmailed a number o ! honest la
boring men out of their hard earnings
under the pretense that they would become
como stockholders in a workingmon's
paper. They also succeeded in getting
between $300 and $500 out of members
of the city council , who were at that
time indignant over the fight
which the BEE made against the
sandstone swindle. When they got all
they could sponge , or borrow , they sold
out the working-men's paper to a bloated
capitalist , Hand-bill Swoosy , who dropped
the name of the Union because ho was by
nature and position n shoddyito. Hav
ing ceased to bo proprietor , Roll fg 0.
Gould begged his way back into the BEE
office under a pitiful plea for his needy
family. Ho first got in as a substitute , anc
was finally given a regular place. Being
below the average as a printer ho did no
earn nearly us much as other typos , bu
still his wages vroro fully aa largo as any
ordinary mechanic in the Union Pacific
shops. But his ambition for notoriety
gave him no rest. When the printers
struck two weeks ago , this whitewashed
fraud and ungrateful sneak was the meal
foul-mouthed in the abuao of the Biiii
which had generously forgiven his vil
lainous warfare of last summer. The
siriko of two weeks ago was gotten np
before the typographical union nas con
suited. The respectable members , die
gustcd with the course which was taken
under the lead of tramps , refused to
take part in the proceedings. The pros !
dent and treasurer of the Omaha union
resigned , and Kellogg O. Gould hoi
himself elected president. Like th
nine tailors of Tooloy street , who resolved
solved " that wo , the people of.London'
ifco. , Kellogg 0. Gould and four or fiv
lunch fiunds , kept under pay
by Handbill Swecsy , rcaolvod Uia
they the workingmoii of Omaha
denounced Tag BEE as an enemy of labor ,
To complete the farce Kellogg 0. Gould ,
continues o isauo hourly proclamation
AS president of the 0. T. U. and the
"confederated trade and labor committee
too , " Kellogg 0. Gou\d \ is certainly a
great man in his own estimation. H
fuels bigger than Bancho Panza did whei :
ho became governor of an island. o
fear that the inflation will end in an ex
I loeiou of his boots , and the workingmo
will ba called upon for contributions t
bury "tho president and commander i
chief of the confederated trade and labo
ccimnittoo. "
. WOOD , a loading democrat
of Kansas , ha * recently made himself no
torious by a brazen-faced fraud on th
government. Ho has boon contestin
the scat $ n the house held by Congress
wan Paters , His claims were so sligh
that oven a democratic committee c :
elections would not recognize thorn , an
dismissed hid casa in short order. H
has printed a so-called report of his remarks
marks in the Con/rctelonal Jtccord
In this report ho hits the cffronery t
spread his speech of ono hour over twon
ty-thrco closely printed p ge , Ho could
not fill this space if ho should talk two
dsj instead of ono hour. Ho has put
into it , brides his claims to the , steal ,
great mesa of stock democratic
partizan arguments which have nothing
whatever to do with the case. The gov
ernment prints and Trill deliver thcso
free of charge , and Wood will use them
for campaign documents this year. This
illustrates the fraud which this alleged
Congrcssiovdl Jiccord is continually
perpetrating. They do not cost the gov
ernment as much money as some othr
frauds , it is true. But they are frauds ,
just the same , and thcro is no reason
why they should ' * o tolerated. If Mr.
Wood , or any other man , wants to have
arguments printed and distributed , lot
him pay for them himself.
THE CENTENNIAL OF AMERI
CAN METHODISM.
The Methodist Gen oral conference ,
which mot in Philadelphia lost week
was a very remarkable and ,
perhaps , historical body It cele
brated the centennial of the church in
this country. It marked the end of ono
period in the church history of the church
and the beginning of another. Its mem
bers looked over the records of a hundred
years of strange and rapid growth. They
represented 1,700,000 communicants ,
25,000 ministers , ana 2,000,000 Sunday
school scholars , in every state
and territory in thiscountry. .
When their church in America
waa first organized in 1784 ,
there were only 15,000 communicants
and 84 preachers , with 40 circuits. Any
sect of men would have reason to bo very
proud in contemplating nuch an increase
in ono hundred years. And it must have
been with great exultation the loaders
who mot in the conference pointed to
the fact that in that time their church had
become the popular church of America.
No sect in modern times has grown so
rapidly nnd como to occupy so largo n
space in the religious concerns of the
protcstant world. It is only 145 years
siuco the first Methodist society in the
world was organized. It numbered two or
three hundred persons. Methodists con
gregations now number not loss than 15-
000,000 souls. At that time they had
ono little chapel in Bristol , and an old
foundry , used as a house of worship , in
London. Now they have churches all
over the globe. They support mission
aries in every land abroad that Is called
"heathen. " They publish millions of
books , tracts , and papers every year.
They maintain schools and colleges
wherever they have obtained a foot
hold. In members and enthusiasm they
are the leading protestant [ denomina
tion.
tion.Tho
The cause of this prosperity is not hard
to find. The Methodist preacher and
loader has always bocn a man of thn pee
plo. In the early history of the church ho
was without any moro learning thnn his
parishioners possessed. There was never
anything about him , or his preaching that
elevated him above the roach of his hoat/-
ors. Ho had their sympathies and their
feelings , and ho was quick to work upon
both. There was no theological subtlety
about his preaching , but ho talked right
homo to every soul before him. This
close sympathy between the pulpit and
the people has always boon maintained.
The improved education of the clergy hns
not affected it. The church is still
always ready to interest itself in the or
dinary and evory-day concerns of life.
It grapples readily with popular ques
tions and , takes itauo on thorn. Some
times it enters into politics almost as
earnestly as into affairs purely religious.
Iltf interest on politics may not always
have boon good , but it has wonderfully
increased Hi popularity by mingling
with common intorosts. It is this evident
dent desire to enter into all the affairs
of lifo that has made it wocoino to al
classes of tjooplo. The zeal of its ministers -
tors also has always boon groat. Theao
two features account for its success.
AN IMPORTANT
The Bupromo court of Connecticut recently
contly rendered an important decision
relating to the protection o !
basement offices , shops and areas ,
Great carelessness prevails among
property owners in Omaha regarding th <
protection of their basement areas , ant
the doolsion may bo of interest to sucl
persons. On a stormy night three per
sons were walking along the pavement ii
the city of Hartford , and ono foil down th
entrance to a basement ofllco or shop , to
which there was no guard , and was sort
ously injured. An action was brough
against the city to recover damages on
the ground that it was bound to put rail
ings on those basement entrances to prevent
vent persons going over the pavement
from falling down thorn at night. Th
trial court gave the plaintiff a verdict ant
judgment , and the coso Boardsloy vs
City of Hartford was carried to the BU
promo court of errors , of Connecticut
where the judgmentwos reversed. Judg
Loomis , in the opinion , aaid :
"It has boon repeatedly decided is thi
and other states that the absence of
railing where public travel is ondangcroi
by the want ot it constitutes a defect ii

and must , of course , bo without defect
But is A city bound to maintain a rail

stops which line its business streets
Such biuomonts are used in every popu
lous city for business purposes of ovurj
kind , and there Is no practicable wa ;
to protect the public but by a railing i
front of thorn. Can it bo regarded th
duty of a city to nuintain such n railing
The open basements are as necessary t
iho business of the city as the open an

ofi to do so. Thoio open basements

Prohibition In Vermont *
Mword Johnson in 1'opular Sclonco Monthly.
The Vermont law was passed by the
cgislaturo in 1852. In the legislature ,
s among the people , thuro waa a close
ivision of sentiment , the law finally
ntsinp by n vote of 91 to 00 , and being
atified by the people of the state by a
oto of 22,215 lo 21,044 , n popular ma-
ority of only 1,171 for the law. Accord-
ng to its terms , the law wont into effect
n March , 1858 , and has over remained
lie settled policy of the state. As origi
nally enacted , it merely forbade the soli
ng , furnishing , or giving away of intox-
eating liquor , under the moderate pen-
Itiea , and provided for the appointment
f an agent in each town who should bo
uthorizod to sell liquor for medicinal
nd mechanical purposes , the profits of
bo sale accruing to the town. But from
ho moment of its adoption until the
ircsout time , the advocates of the law
ave boon continually engaged in on-
arging its eoopo and strengthening iti
'revisions. ' Each legislature since 1853
ma modified and amended the law in the
iroction of increased thoroughness , so-
only and oflicioncy. Ita support-
ra have indeed taken "Thorough"
or their motto. Everything they have
asked baa boon granted by successive
cgislaturcs , and all possible measures
lave been taken to render the law por-
ect. As It now stands , it constitutes an
ntiro chapter of the Revised Statutes ,
nd embraces moro than fourscore sec-
ions. A glance at its provisions will
how that it ia stringent enough to satisfy
ho most thorough-going believer in leg-
slation. It absolutely forbids the man
ufacture , aalo , furnishing or giving away
: > f intoxicating liquors.among which malt
iquors and lager beer are specifically in-
ludod. Cider must not bo sold at any
ilaco of public resort , nor may a _ man in his
iwn house furnish liquors to minors. The
penalties in all those cases are a fine of
10 for thofirst offense20 for the second
.nd three months in the house of correc-
ion for the third. A "common aoller" ia
o bo fined § 100 for the firor offense , and
> 200 for the second , and for the third ia
o bo committed to the house of corroc-
ion for four months , and may.also bo
> rosecutod for maintaining a nuisance ,
d in case of conviction ho is to bo fir ed
rom $20 to $200 , and imprisoned
rom ono month to three montha ;
and his place of business is to
jo summarily closed , nor may
10 reopen it before furnishing a heavy
bond to abandon the liquor traffic. A
person bringing , or assisting in bringing ,
iquor into the State , ia to bo fined § 20
or the first otlonso and $50 for the
second , and lor the third ia to bo im-
irisonod for three months. A traveling
iquor agent is to bo fined § 100 for the
first offense of selling , and § 300 for the
second , and for the third is to be fined
$500 $ and imprisoned for six months.
All liquors kept , or supposed to be kept ,
for purposes forbidden by the statute ,
are to bo mewed byitho police , who may
for tliia purpose outer and search , withou
a witrrantany promisespublic or private
A percentage of all fines imposed am
collected is awarded the informer and the
prosecuting officer. The statute further
nero contains provisions for the recovery
of civil dam t ea from liquor dealers , for
mpoaing a heavy finp upon one who rents
promises to be used in the liquor traffic ,
md for carrying out the design of the
aw in a thorough and efficient manner.
But the practical operation of this ae-
voro and sweeping law there is the rub
[ t is a fact , which can not bo'controvert
od or denied , that for all practical pui-
poses the law is1 an absolute dead letter.
According to the returns of the Unitec
States revenue officers , the govornmonr
; ax on the manufacture and sale of in
: oxicating liquors in the state amountec
last year to § 14,000 in round numbeis
On the same authority , there are in the
state at the present time 410 placet
wherein intoxicating liquors are sold
and , though the population is well nigl
stationary , there ia a marked increase m
the number of thcso pliicen , last year's
returns ahowning only 420 ; those for the
preceding year 41)9 ) , In the city of Bur
lington there are about threescore plac i
whore liquor is sold , and in Rutland , St
Albano , and all the larger towns , a proportionate
portionato number , and in ever ;
villa o in the state , with tht
exception of a few inconsiderable
able hamlets , there ia at least ono
such place. A largo proportion of th <
dram-shops are located upon the principa
streets , and there is no concealment or
attempted concealment of the illega
traffic conducted within thorn. As thea-
facts and ligurea sufficiently indicate , th.
law , broadly fapcaking , ia not at all ou
forced. The sale of liquor , it is hardlj
too much to say , ia almost as free ant
open aa though were no such thing as t
prohibitory law. The principal oxcoptioi
to the general rule consists of an oc
casioual spasmodic attempt to ekforco th
law in the larger places , and the finin
of liquor dealers on what are termed
"disclosures. " In the latter case , a
person arrested for intoxication is compelled
polled to "disclose" the person of whom
ho procur d liquor , and that person i
then tried for the offenao. Such case
are very common , but as only the lowes
class of liquor dealers is concerned in
them generally speaking , and a the prosecution
ocution is invariably for a "first offense , '
no effective purpose is served in repress
ing the liquor traffic. In the larger town
an effort to tnforco the law is occasionall ;
made , but o oh efforts have invariably
proves short lived , and in almost every
instance the people have , at the earhes
opportunity , rejected at the polls th
ottlcora who have attempted to enforc
the law. These are the principle excop
tious to the general rule of ncm-onforco
ment. Of enforcing the law as the law
against burglary and larceny are enforcet
no ono dreams for a moment. Such i
the unsatisfactory result of Vermont'
thirty years' experience of the prohtbi
tory liquor law.

ro elected. They are for the most part
nlnstructed and are frco to trade and
icker for themselves , the motto being ,
very man for himself and the devil take
lie hindmost. It is known that Arthur
s largely ahead of all other candidates ,
s the delegates now stand. It is an
pen question whether ho lias not aufljci-
ut votes to nominate him o n the first
> allot , but it is no longer a question
liat his friends and thpso of Edmunds
ro largely in the majority. This is the
ituation now. The tank of the schemers
will bo , therefore , to win over , by fair
ncans or foul , enough of those elected as
Arthur or Edmunds men to reduce the
resident's load and prevent his nomina-
ion.
ion.Thoro
There ia a quiet movement going on in
ertain quarters which , in the event of
Jlaino's ' nomination , might change the
ntiro complexion of ttio presidential
ifihL It will have been noticed that a
lumber of democratic papers have of late
urnotl their attention to magnifying the
hanccs of Blaine and doing all in tnoir
lower to assist him in capturing the con
tention. At the head of these nowspa-
icra stands The Now York World. Pulit-
or cares nothing for the so-called princi-
ilcs of the democratic party , but ho does
aio for ( success , and ho is a shrewd
chomor. The plan is to got the Chicago
onvoutiontonominatoBlaiuo , if possible ,
mowing that his nomination will alienate
a largo clros of republicans. Then twp
ourscs will bo open to the dem cratc ;
irst to nominate a man like Bon. Butler
m a liberal platform and run him for all
10 is worth as an ox-republican , anti-
monopolist , and the only successful dem-
icrat"in Massachusetts. Pulitzer favois
his plan. _ If there is too strong objcc-
ion on tho' part of democratic bourbons ,
lion Butler vrillbo run as an independent
opublican , with the determination to
hrow the election into the democratic
house of representatives. The plan is a
hrowd ono , and in the possible event of
ilainoV nomination will bo carried out in
no or the other of its phases. There is
lossibly ono other candidate against
rhom the same game might bo played.
Sutler will not run , however , if Arthur
s nominated , and is not likely to if one
or two others now naniodaro put for ward.
) uo thing now seems positively certain
, hat the nomination of Blaine will disrupt
, ho party , which is now united , and for
Ins reason woula bo almost suicidal.
There is much curiosity hero to know
ho reason for the coldness which exists
> otween Blaine and Lincoln. It is well
mown that Blaine dislikes Lincoln , and
t is fancied that Bob is not a whit moro
'riondly to Blaino. The coldness is sup-
> osed to grow out of the intercoursn oc-
: asionod by Garfiold's long illness when
Blaine assumed plenary powers and tried
x > lord it over the rest of the cabinet.
Dno thing is plain , and that is that Lin
coln as president wouldnever have Blaine
as secretary of state , and it is this cer
tainty that makes Blame careful against
doing anything to improve the former's
chances of a nomination. As between
Arthur , Lincoln , and Edmunds , Blaine
would probably choose Arthur , though
ho has , of course , felt in a certain aenae
unfriendly since his retirement from the
cabinet and the revocation of his instruc
tions to Trcscott m the Chili-Peru im
broglio.
Gun. Logan has taken up the positioi
f a dark horse in the race. It woult
have boon wiser had this plan been adop
ted in the first place , but oven as it is
ia bolter for him him to occupy this posi
tion than to make any further effort in
the way of a boom. The corresponden
of The Daily News has endeavored tt
ascertain the sentiment existing in vari
ous states toward Logan , and his friend
say there is everywhere a kindly feelin ;
for him as a poasiblo compromise candi
onto. There are various reasons for this
the principal ono being the almost uni
vors.il determination to put Lincoln on
the ticket. It will be hard to overcome ,
this determination , and it must bo overcome
como as a matter of course before Logan
can bo looked upon as a possibility. If a
prediction were to bo madu it would bo
more reasonable to say that Logan wil
bo secretary of War under the next ad
ministration , whoever succeeds.
As showing how boomers differ in their
figuring , the following estimates from the
Evening Critic , of this city , is fjivon of
the first vote on the nalloi at Chicago :
Arthur,298 ; Blaine , 300 ; Edmunds , C4
Logan , 55 ; Sherman , 23 ; Hawley , 12
Gresham , C ; Fairchild , 4 ; Grant , 1 ; total
703. Yet to bo heard from , 57 ; total ,
820 ; Necessary to a choice , 411.
Simultaneously there appeals in the
Evening Star the following from that
crankiest of all the plumed knight's
friends , Bayno , of Pennsylvania : Going
over the various estimates of the strength
of the candidates whoso names will receive
ceivo support at the republican convex
tion. Bayno says that n no of thorn give
Blaine strength enough. Ho declares
that Blaine will got 10 delegates from
Alabama ; nt least 2 in Florida , 12 m
Georgia , 4 in Kentucky , all tht , Louisl
ana delegation , 10 , and 2 from Mossachu
setts , though by the highest ho is Riven
none in either of these states. In Mary
land ho will got 14 instead of the 13 al
lotted him by the conservative estimates
2 instead of 1 in Now Hampshire ; in
Ohio 28 instead of 27 ; inTennesoo. 7 , in-
ttead of 4 ; and intho tf nitories , 12. He
thinks that the straight-outs from Vjr
ginia will ba recognised at Chicago , thus
making a solid delegation of 24 from that
Btato for Blaino. This would give Blaine
something like 425 , moro than enough to
give him the nomination.
Bayno says that Kellogg , just acquit
ted of felony on a technicality , will awing
the Louisiana delegation ngamst Arthur
because the latter refused to call off hit
dogs when Kellogg asked him to. This
is the only probable statement m thr
whole business. The story goes tha
KolloL'K , boiug at the head of the Louisi
ana delegation , intimated to Preside
Arthur that if ho acted squarely with
him ho mifiht bo sure of the solid dele
Ration , and if ho persisted in dogging him
Louisiana would bo decidedly anti-Ar
tliur at Chicago. lie claimed that H the
bloodhounds of the department , of justid
wore not called off his trail ho would holi
the adrainisistration responsible Now
ho conceives that ho has fought the am
mills off himself and h eager fi > r revenge
