Show TRUT H 10 THE EVOLUTION OF the race. What if the bishop turns a glassy eye on William and withholds his blessing? It is said the bishop i wants the place himself. The only thing for Bill to do is to jump over the bishops head and secure the O. K. of Shurtliff. That simplifies matters.

The evangel of the modern religion, or our own Mr. Goshen, who wears the title of reverend, but has graduated out of the class, has arrived. He dropped in with a copy of Ingersoll in one hand and Voltaire in the other. It is claimed that he had a Bible when he started out, but it became lost somewhere on the trip. His arrival was noted by the hurried departure of quite a collection of our hoariest superstitions the atonement, divinity of Christ necessitly of bap-isetc., but in their place he established a creed and labeled it Reason. That does very nicely, Mr. Goshen, and while we felicitate, let us not forget the moral bravery required, in these days of religion, to cut off the dead branches on the tree of life, .veep your eye on Goshen. He has offended the ministers, but he has won the thinkers. But more, he has opened the way so that those who have the courage may follow. He has m, non-progressi- ve done much. The new independent Democratic daily is a long time abornin. There is positively no hope for it before election, and no one would be surprised if there was nothin doin before Dec.' 1st. The manager, Major Littlefield, is taking it easy, and with each delay he explains that he is not going to get up steam till he is good and ready. That does not mean anything so far as the calendar is concerned, but has a distinct reference to the time when Frank Cannon will consent to surrender his time and talents unconditionally for the good of the cause. Littlefield is right, of course, because with Cannon the paper will do some business; without him, it will probably be a candidate for the newspaper bone-yarprolonging the death bed agony d, interminably. i i nut to crack than to sustain the authorities, the present administration, by a show of hands, contrary by the same sign.

Speaking of bishops, the said ruling potentate of the Fourth has been caught in the act of seriously considering himself a likely successor to Bill. That mixes up matters horribly. Following his precedent. Bill, of course, will seek his bishop for an official and divine sanction in making Most of the other officeholders are serving their first term and recent political righteousness demands that they should receive a renomination. Moyes is the one exception. He has been city treasurer so long that the people have concluded he belongs to the office and he will be expected to accept the nomination with the usual thanks and run ahead of the ticket by the usual majority. & The contest for the offices will have the usual local flavor. The erstwhile household pet, the waterworks question, has been turned out of doors by the Republicans and its misshapen and repugnant carcass has been buried under the spreading mantle called Public Improvements. Bill and the council made a stab at the water question once, but retreated in good time to prevent making any wound . The Republicans have no more use for it now than they have for a red-ho- t stove, but is it probable the Democrats will exhume the remains and parade them in the campaign. They have a right to if the people will stand for it, but if they do Bill may be relied upon to attract public attention by a different brand of fireworks and get the crowd.
