From the Chicago Herald. “We're all full of jingo, when you come to know us,” said a lawyer yesterday. He was talking of the outburst of patriotism with which President Cleveland’s message had been received. “I saw a beautiful instance of it the other day,” he continued. “I was on a ‘Wallace and Halsted’ car and became interested in listening to the talk of a foreign-looking chap on the other side of the car. He had bushy hair and whiskers, a little soft hat and a kind of a turned-up nose. He wasn’t a German. I think he was a bohemian or a Atussian, a man of some education and de- cidediy rabid views—probably an extreme socialist. “He was roasting this country good and hard—said that we had no liberty, that cur courts were corrupt, that our .awmakers could be bought and that poor men were un- der the rule of the corporations. He was talking to a young fellow on the other side of the car, and this young feilow seemed to agree with him in everything he said. “Well, he jumped on to the police, and told how a poor man would be iocked up and tined tor doing something a rich man could do without any one interiering. He said the judges were all in the pay or corporations, that the newspapers were bribed and even the President of the United States sold his intluence whenever he got a chance. “After he’d gone on that way for ten min- Utes a tall man almost opposite him straightened up and said: ‘I think you're a liar." “The man with the foreign accent flared all up in a minute and demanded an ex- planation, “*Well,” said the tall man,. ‘I've got you sizea up for a man that was chased out of his own country for some devilment, and row you've come over here and you jump cn to our government before you've learned to speak the language. If we're as bad as you say, what made you come over here? Did arybody send for you? If this country's so corrupt, why don’t you get out of it? ; “Well, sir, up to the time the tall man broke in, the people had been listening to this agitator and appeared to be more or jess impressed. Just as soon, though, as this tall man got in his patriotic speech everything turned the other way. They all said, ‘That's the stuff’ and ‘That's right,’ and, do you know, the fellow with the whis- kers got so scared that he went out on the platform. We all like to roast the govern- ment, but as soon as some one waves the flag we begin to yell. —_—_+0+—___ To Protect Minors. December 13, as stated at the time in The Star, the Commissioners decided to submit to Congress for enactment a bill regulating billiard and pool rooms, the purpose of which was to prevent minors from fre- quenting such places.

News of Interest to Residents West of Rock Creek. Tonight the pupils of Linthicum Institute will make presentations to their teachers. “Presentation night” is one of the happiest of the Linthicum school year. The boys are the hosts then.
