WEEKLY BUDGET.

THE EASTERN STATES. In sentencing Herr Most to one year in the penitentiary, at New York, says a telegram from that city, Jndge Cowing said: Your tongue and pen have constantly brought you into difficulty. They have got you into difficulties in older countries, and they have brought you over here and brought you into direct conflict with the great mass oc the people. It seems to me that most of this difficulty comes from foreigners. I saw the i«pectacle in this court not long ago of fiiteen in n trought in before me who had been boycotting a poor woman who was trying to make a living in this country, and there was not one of them who could speak a word of the English language. There was not one of them who was an American citizen, or ■who had been in this country for five years. Here they were, leaving a country of oppression, and coming to a land of freedom, and the very first thing they do is to become oppressors. 'Where is the justice of such a thing as that? Now. in this case. If you are going to live In this community you should study our institutions. understand the rights of American citizenship, ana do as much g»od as you can to your fellow-men, instead of undertaking to create discord among them. Application was made to Judge Lawrenoe of the New York Supremo Court, for the' admission to bail of Johann Most, in whose case an appeal had been taken from the judgment of the Court of General Sessions. The application was granted and Most was released on $5,090 bail, Mrs. Ida Hoffman becoming his surety.
