as Boulanger should have received his dose some time ago. A coward will run one time as well as another.

Mr. Ward McAllister has resigned his position on one of the committees having in charge the centennial exercises in New York. Mr. Ward McAllister has been making an ass of himself in a suv.perlative degree by an attempt to exclude .Call but his select 400 of New York so'ciety from conspicuous positions in the 'public events of the celebration.

The worst of it is that the men who have driven him to the point of resigning are little better. The whole set are descendents of those early settlers of New York, who had to make their in signing the records when they secured property which other men's intelligence and industry has since made valuable beyond belief for the benefit of these same scions of ignorance and avarice.

THE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

The.police of Terre Haute certainly -deserve credit for the arrest of Evans, Barrett and others of that gang of confidence men and burglars who at one time made this city their headquarters.

When Evans' arrest followed that of Barrett, and some of the money found on Evans was used to secure Barrett's release, althongh there was good reason te believe that the money was stolen property, THE EXPRESS objected to that 4sort of thing. Its objections were met with :the response that between the vigilance of the police and the lawyers poor Barrett was so severely shaken down that he never would come to Terre Haute.

Is this the case as to Evans? There is now no doubt that Evans should -have been prosecuted to the fullest ex sclent of the law. He was arrested with burglars' tools in his possession. Money found on his person was identified as naving ueen oouieu irom a worimngton bank. Sporting men from abroad come Kto Terre Haute, loafed about the gambling houses and houses of ill fame, negotiated with the officials of the robbed bank, and lo and behold Evans' release is secured.

We said that the police are deserving of credit. What else are they to get? Apparently some one besides themselves got all the cash. However, they have Evans' line revolver and burglar toals.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Washington Press: Colonel D. Grant Is as fortunate In his enemies as his father was. With few exceptions they are the same malodorous crew.

Milwaukee Sentinel: The man with a father has no chance In the world. If he Is wise he will change his name, conceal his Identity and work out his destiny on his own lines.

Savannah News (Dem.): There Is nothing to be said against Mr. Lincoln personally. He Is an honest man and bis record Is spotless. In all things be alms to do what Is right.

Baltimore American: There Is nething the public so bitterly condemns in journalism as personalltes. There Is nothing the public so eagerly reads In journalism as personalities. There Is nothing the public so universally admires as consistency. If the public cannot arrive at right conclusions on this train of thought It is idle to say more, as they will only continue on the rail.

Providence Journal: The action of the Maine legislature in passing a law to allow druggists to sell liquor on their own prescriptions Is the natural result of an attempt to maintain the name of a law when Its substance Is a failure. It Is to be hoped that legislators will some day understand that the law should be made to lit the people, and that an attempt to reverse the process results la Inevitable failure.

Chicago Tribune: The senators made an unfortunate mistake In rejecting Mr. Halstead. Not that the freedom of the press has been interfered with, or any such result was Intended. The action of the senators was purely personal, and no one can suppose that in consequence of It Mr. Halstead's paper or any other metropolitan journal lias had Its freedom Impaired. On the contrary, the freedom of the press could be best secured and maintained if editors were wholly divorced from political honors and rewards, and would refuse to seek or hold office.

THE WORLD OF TRADE AND LABOR.

PITTSBURG, April i,—A movement is on foot in which it is said all the prominent coke manufacturers are interested to re-organize the old coke syndicateThe purpose of the new organization is to raise the price of coke to at least one dollar and twenty five cents per ton, and adhere strictly to that figure.

When the old syndicate disbanded Bbout a year and a half ago the price waa at that time as high as 82 per

The first Central labor union organized in Maine was instituted at Portland jest week. Seven labor organizations are represented.

Pennsylvania knights are making strenuous efforts to secure much-needed legislation in the interest of miners and factory employes.

The Window-glass Workers' union at Pittsburg is the richest labor organization in the country, and holds a reserve fund of 8300,000.

A whisky syndicate controlling £5,000,000 of capital, has been formed in Dublin, Ireland, with the view of controlling the distilleries of that city.

From advance figures on Kentucky's crop report for 1888, it is shown that the tobacco crop exceeded that of 1887 nearly two and a half times, and that the bluegrass and hemp counties have become large producers of tobacco.

The New Jersey law, requiring all goods made in the 6tate prison to be Btamped or labeled as follows: "Made in the New Jersey State Prison," will go into effect June 1st, and the present contractors will refuse to bid again unless the law is repealed.

The Milk Producers' union, compns ing 411 farmers in the seven western counties of Pennsylvania, was formed and all the milk from these producers will be handled by one man instead of through the milk dealers. It is pro posed to charge 13 cents per gallon during the summer and 18 cents in the win ter.

The general master workman has decided that the state assembly of Knights of Labor, at its last session in December, violated the constitution of the order in selecting new officers. It is understood that the charter of the state assembly has been revoked. The organization has never been a success, as the field is well covered by the State federation of labor.

The Musical union of New York is ea deavoring to prevent the landing of 400 musicians, who arrived there Wednes day, claiming that they come within the provisions of the foreign contract labor act, and can possibly be held under the pauper act. It is alleged that these men are in the habit of coming to Amerioa in the spring, and returning in the fall with the money they have earned. The 400 were permitted to land and go their way.

The land purchase in Tennessee by General Alger, who is associated with Messrs. Foraker and Blaine in the transactions, turns out to be a vast coal field. On 7,500 acres of the total tract of 15,000 acres purchased, there are three distinct veins of very fine bituminous coal. The company will aim to supply the entire region south of the gulf. A narrow guage railway will be built to connect the mines with the Tennessee river, and the coal will be floated to New Orleans. To get the opening made and the mines in proper shape will cost, together with the purohase money, $1,000,000. General Alger is at present looking after other large interests in Tennessee.

Indianapolis Journal: The stockhold ers of the Indianapolis rolling mill company held a meeting yesterday to see if they could agree upon some plan for starting up the mill. The DePauws were represented by John W. Ray, who stated that they were ready to give their share of the money needed to put the mill in operation, either to manufacture rails or heavy iron work. One or two others of the stockholders expressed themselves in favor of doing something. Others are disposed lo sell if a favorable opportunity offers. After arranging for paying the company's taxes, the stockholders adjourned without taking any definite action as regards the future of the mill.

President Gompers, of the American federation of labor, has sent to all affiliated unions a circular concerning the establishment of a general strike fund, and also the importation of foreign contract labor. All the unions in the feder: ation are to vote upon the strike fund, and any of them may appeal to the executive board for aid in a trade straggle, the fund is to be sustained by a levy of two cents per week upon all members for not more than five consecutive weeks. In regard to the other question, all local unions are asked to sign a memorial to congress for the amendment of the present alien contract labor law "so as to prevent the excessive immigration caused by the duplicity of employment and shipping agencies or echemerf." It is probable that as soon as congress meets again there will be memorials before it on this subject, bearing the signatures of a million or more organized workers in 5,000 cities.

Indianapolis News: An active eighthour campaign is being planned by the Central labor union committee, to be inaugurated after Lent. The first meeting will be held Wednesday evening, April 24, and some able speakers will be engaged for the ooccasion. The eight-hour agitation is being systematically carried on in all

Mr. Powderly, who held aloof from the movement in 1886, gives the present agitation his hearty support, although the Knights of Labor, as an organization, can not render the assistance now that could have been given three years ago. On the Fourth of July a grand demonstration, preparations for which will begin at onoe, is to be made. In order to bring out the full strength of organized labor, special care will be taken to have no peliitcal significance attached to the affair.

The American meat company has been incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania with a capital of $2,000,000. This is the so-called beef syndicate which has been in process of formation for two yean or more, and concerning which much has already been published. This money has been furnished principally by New York and Philadelphia capitalists, but a large integpi of it is held by Chicago men. Tne company has already acquired by purchase a large number of ranches in the Indian Territory, New Mexico and Texas, including, it is said, those of Stephen W. Dorsey and others are to be secured as opportunities offer. It is intended to have cattle brought into Kansas City and Chicago alive, and at those points there will be erected a number of great slaughter houses and and warehouses, where the beeves will be killed and the meat dressed. The dressed meat will be sold to wholesale and retail butchers in various parts of the country, and will be shipped in refrigerator cars. The company will raise all its own cattle, and will control every department of the_industry, including packing, preservation, and canning. v-

The horses were again urged forward and upward toward the point where the distant peak of Santa Clar towers above the clouds till at last the crest of an extinct crater was reached. Within this hollow, 100 feet below the surrounding ridge, which forms a circular basin with a diameter of about six hundred yards, aB perfect as if laid out by accurate measurement, lies a lake of unknown depth. A little way from the bank sounding leads have been run down 300 feet without touching bottom.

Among the workers, says a correspondent of the Philadelphia Record, ranging in age from maidens of 12 to matrons of 50, one may see som9 surprising beauties, whose advent in New York in civilized attire would turn the heads and capture the heartB of all the dudes of that beauty-adoring metropolis. Though the Phoenician blood, which Nicaraguans are so proud to claim, is probably lost in the now more clearly defined Spanish and Indian, yet these mild-eyed, sweet-faced and graceful children of Central America have re tained in their characters many of the traitB that distinguished their earlier ancestors, including simple contentment and a passionate enjoyment of nature and love of home.

The Last Total Solar Eclipse,

Mr. Lockyer, the English astronomer, speaking of the phenomena observed during the last total solar eclipse, says that a comparison of them with the. records at the/r two previous sun spot minima, in 1867 and 1878, "indicates very clearly that we have now very definite information concerning the corona of the sun as observed at the minimum period of sun spots."

During the period of infrequency of spots, from 1874 to 1878, terrestrial mag netism was less energetic than it had been for the preceding forty years. The absence of lines in the corona spectrum of 187S showed, moreover, so great a reduction in the sun's temperature that Mr. Lockyer thought a corresponding change on the earth should be produced. He now suggests that if the same absence of bright lines in the corona observed in 1878 is repeated in the observations of January 1,18-9, there will be strong confirmation of the theory of the meteoric origin of many solar disturbanoee. Consequently a correspondence between changes of solar and terrestrial temperature would thus be established, and it so new and important light may be thrown on the principle of weather prediction for long periods.—[New York Herald.

HOW the State GorennMnt MAY bo CARRIED on Without 'an A pproprlatton. No direct information from State Treasurer Lemcke has been received since the New York German savings bank refused to aooept the temporary loan bonds on Tuesday says the Indianapolis News, bat it is supposed there have been no new developments in the negotiations. Mr. Lemcke will remain in New York until next Monday. Governor Hovey thinks he-can now see his way clear for carrying on the state government without an extra session of the legislature if money cannot be obtained on the temporary loan bonds. Some of the benevolent inatitationa may be crippled, but responsibility for that, he says, will rest with the Democratic legislators, who neglected to make the proper provision for meeting the demands upon the state treasury. His plan is tp apply the revenues where they are most needed. The income from taxation aggregates about one million and four hundred thousand dollars annually. The temporary bonds tor '1370,000, issued for the purpose of raising money to pay the interest on the* outstanding debt, were accepted by the German savings bank, ana the total revenue for the next year, therefore, will be about one million and eight hundred thousand dollars. This is about the amount of the annual expenditures. No effort, would be mam to pay the specific appropriations and the undrawn balances amounting .to $1,400,000. The new appropriation act does not go intp effect until next fall, and in the meantime he believes that it will be set aside by the courts, if the matter is brought before them, as revolutionary.

Another Bill that May be Defective.

It is now asserted that there are defects in the bill creating ~the state department of geology which will render it ineffective, one of which is the omission of any mention of natural gas inspection in the title of the bill, and besides, contrary to the constitutional provisions limiting an act to one subject, it relates to the inspection of mines, oils and natural gaa—[Indianapolis News.

Long, Inventor of a Rail Joint, Killed. CHICAGO, April 4.—Colonel Richard

Lang, treasurer and general manager of Long's truss rail-joint company, who was run over by a train and fatally injured at Pittsburg, this morning, was the inventor of a truss-rail joint that has been adopted by a number of rail road companies. He left Chicago March 18, and was about to take the train for home when the accident occurred. Colonel Long had command of the Sev-enty-third Ohio regiment during the rebellion and served under General Fremont. He gained historical prominence by capturing Belle Boyd, the notorious rebel spy.

Kentucky's Taxable Property,

The state board of equalization has completed its labors and made .public the results. According to its figures, the total value of taxable property in the state is $501,240,228, an increase over last year of nearly $9,000,000. The twentyeight mountain counties of the state show an equalised aggregate valuation of $34,456,368, an increase of $3 555,093. But three counties in the state—Martin, Perry and Pulaski—show a decrease in assessment compared with 1888.

There has been a great development of lumbering in the South since 1880. There are 160 per cent, more sawmills now than then, 107 per cent, more hands employed, and 100 per cent, more capital invested. Syndicates are rapidly buying up all the 3ftuthem timber lands that they can get their hands on.

A Minneapolis ¥onng Man Claims to Have Wandered Off While In a Trance. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 4.—A curi­

ous case of mental aberration has come to light here. About a month ago James Viccars, a book-keeper in a local commision house, disappeared utterly and inexplicably on the day when he was to wed Hattie Ray. There were no circumstance surrounding the disappearance to give any clew to its motive. He waa a steady,industrious,temperate young man. Yeaterday, however, the mystery was explained, when his employer received a letter from him, written at the home of his parents, in Grass Lake, Mich. In this ne stated that he had only a confused memory of the last month, that in a state of mental aberration or, perhaps, in hypnotic atate, he had wandered, he knew not where. When he came to himself he at once made his way to his old home weary and worn out. He seems unwilling to return to his old po-sition-for fear of ridicule, and it is supposed the wedding so strangely interrupted will never come off.
