Translation.
The Fighting Cocks and Eagle.
Two young Cocks were fighting as
fiercely as if they had been men. At
last the one that was beaten crept in¬
to a corner of the hen-house, covered
with wounds. But the conqueror,
straightway flying up to the top of the
house, began clapping his wings and
crowing, to announce his victory. At
this moment an eagle, sailing by, seiz¬
ed him in his talons and bore him a¬
way; while the defeated rival came
out from his hiding place, and took
possession of the dunghill for which
they contended.
A magnanimous man never boasts
of his personal achievements. His
works speak for him. He gives all the
glory, through gratitude, to his Maker
BROOKLYN ITEMS,
In beating the motermen by the aid of a subser¬
vient mayor and judiciary, the Brooklyn trolley
swindlers, Samson-like, destoyed themselves. The
trolley cars are now half empty; the people will
not ride in them; the income is gone, and the con¬
cern — in the hands of a receiver! Their paper,
too, which urged the whole-sale slaughter of inno¬
cent citizens by the police and soldiery during the
Strike, has lost 50 per cent of its former subscribers
— Such is the fate of the trolley sharks, who sought
to enslave honest labor, that they might realize on
their 30,000,000.00 of bogus stock, which had not,
as Supreme Court Justice Gaynor declared, the val¬
ue of a dollar in stick or iron behind it.
If, as has been asserted, Mayor Scheiren has ap¬
pointed a man to a police justiceship whose record
for honesty could not stand the test of an election
campaign, the sooner the self-respecting citizens in¬
sist on having all such officials go through the bal¬
lot-box the better. A corrupt combination such as
the trolley sharks, could concentrate all their nefa¬
rious energies on the appointing power, as they
have in Brooklyn, and make a regular farce of Re¬
publicanism. We assert that the man, or party,
who would seek to deprive the citizen of his right to
a voice in the selection of his public servants should
be treated as are horse thieves out West.
We would advise our Republican friends to act
cautiously in removing public officials from office
by special Legislation ; it is not Republicanism.
Leave such unsavory tactics to the mugwumys.
One of the most readable papers coming to our
exchange table is the Sunday Gazetteer, Denison,
