Judging from the comments of the press ^throughout the country, it Is quite safe to say that Governor Flfer, of Illinois, made a mistake In pardoning Joe Mackin which It will take lum som© time to outlive.—{Olobe-Democrat.

While there was nothing to commend in the pardon either of Coy or Mackin who have returned to the leadership in their party gained by expertness in defeating the will of the people as expressed at the ballot box, it is hardly fair for the Democratic press to censure those who have been too lenient, perhaps, with these convicts.

While the governor of Mississippi was all indignation and excitement to prevent a fist fight, a mob fired into a passenger train in his state because the train did not stop at the station so that the mob could lynch a few "nigger" prisoners who were on board. Strange as it may seem, on this train were some admirers of the manly art who were compelled to lie on the floor of the car to avoid being assassinated by some of the "best citizens" of Mississippi.

It Is our business to manufacture for ourselves whatever we can to keep our markets open for what we can spare or want, and the less we have to do with the amities or enmities of Europe the better.

We quote the above from Thomas Jefferson for the benefit of our contemporary, which keeps standing a quotation from Jefferson, intended by it to sustain its advocacy of free trade, but which does not refer to the tariff more directly than it does to any other question. The above, however, is the true home protection idea.

The coroner's jury which investigated the Johnstown disaster finds that "the owners of said dam were culpable in not making it as secure as should have been done especially in view of the fact that a population of many thousands was in the valley below. We hold the owners are responsible for the fearful IOSB of life and property resulting from the breaking of the dam." This is an official record of the popular verdict. As such it may serve the ends of justice in suitB for damage but any such recovery will be so small in comparison with the great loss of life, ruin of physical and mental health of survivors and material loss that it will be but as a drop in the bucket.

Between 5.000 and 6,000 people have been for weeks lace to face with starvation in a neighboring Indlsuia county. The majority of them are women and children.

The Sentinel can blame no one more than itself for this condition of things. The Sentinel, as did Senator Voorhees, appealed for charity and political advantage in the same breath. Naturally the church people as well as all other people hold aloof until they can ascertain whether the appeal is to sustain a strike now managed by politicians, or to feed hungry human beings. If the Sentinel and Senator Voorhees would permit

GHOULY GOING HOME.

Special to the Chicago Tribune. WASHINGTON, July 5.—The sorrows of Hadji Haseein Ghouly Khan are in all mouths. The American press pokes fun at the shah. The Bhah, in the person of his minister to the United States, reeente it. The minister has learned enough of western civilization to know that he can not call on the government of the United States to suppress the irreverent newspapers, but he proposes to make this country pay for the freedom of the press by withdrawing his diplomatic presence. No grave international complications will follow any more than when Minister F. H. Winston got tired of Persia and came back to the United States. Though Hadji Hassein Ghouly Khan doesn't like us, we like him and he will be missed. That is the verdict here in Washington, where he is so well known.

The published reasons given for his departure are to be taken with reservations. His failure to appreciate American humor as shown in the newspaper paragraphs about the shah and about himself is genuine, but there is a suspicion that he is also anxious to have a good time with the Persian potentates party in Europe and then get a better diplomatic berth than Washington. He will sail in ten days and will probably join his sovereign at Paris, the place of all the world which educated Perisians like. The tale of grief and alleged insult which Mr. Ghouly will pour into his majesty's ear will be a large one. When the news was sent to the state department that it had pleased the shah to send a representative to the country of George Washington it was at once given out. Months passed and nothing was heard of the new minister. He was practically advertised as lost and diplomatic inquires were actually set on foot to locate nim. The result set at rest the uncertainty. He had been heard from at Constantinople and had probably gone to Paris. In due time he reached New York with an interpreter and had hardly disembarked when he was set upon by the newspaper reporters. The interpreter scared them off. The minister had learned enough English to understand what the newspapers were.

On coming to Washington Mr. Ghouly found himself more at home. He was an excellent French scholar, and he found people of his own rank—as he supposed—to whom he could talk in that tongue. He gave out that one object of his mission wsa to encourage American capital to seek investment in Persia, and thereby strengthen the ties between the two countries. He was presented in due time to Secretary Bayard and President Cleveland. Mr. Ghouly took a keen interest in his surroundings. Every day he drove about the capital, and declared that it rivaled in beauty his favorite Paris. He also applied himself diligently to the study of the language. He could understand this, but he could not understand the people. He wore his fez, yet in other respects his drees did not differ from that of the rest of the world. It was not half so striking as the costumes of the Chinese and the Coreans. Still people would look at him as though he were the drawing card at a dime museum.

One day he confided his disgust to a newspaper correspondent, who published his pungent comments. They made good reading, and as his strictures were in the main just there was no reason v?hy the minister should be ashamed of it. He was, however, suspicious of a free press and thought the publication was meant to ridicule him. On the occasion of hiscoming a local poet had published some free-hand verseB intended as a weloome. They, in effect, told the diplomat from the Far East that he could start right in and paint the town red and it wouldn't injure his standing in Washington socially, because he was a foreigner and that kind of thing was permitted to foreigners. Mr. Ghouly misunderstood the purport of this pleasantry and it made him suspicious of anything in the line of newspaper humor.

At the opening of the social season the minister touk a house on street and established a legation. He was hospitable and like other foreign ministers who have opened their houses his hospitality was abused. Though his establishment was a batchelor one he undertook to have a "receiving day," and before long he wished he hadn't done anything of the kind. He did not know how to distinguish official society from the horde of non-officials, and every reception day his parlors were crowded with ill-bred people whose only object was to gratify their curiosity. Once he showed some curiosity and inquired why so many persons were privileged to call upon him. He was told they were all sovereigns and were anxious to show their friendliness to the shah. He Bhrugged his shoulders at the explanation.

Mr. Ghouly was punctilious in paying all his social obligations. When he attended the White house receptions with his gorgeous trappings he was sure to be honored with attention second only to that given the Chinese legation and the Corean embassy. He always looked so lonesome that somebody felt it incumbent to engage him in conversation.

Then Mr. Ghouly would brighten up, but the approach of a party of lion seekers would make him angry, and he would slip away muttering what was supposed to be a dreadful Persian oath. He learned something of American slang, and would often apply it with force. One day at a reception given by Senator Ingalls Mr. Ghouly was cornered by four or five fat women. They reveled in his presence, and one of them, the wife of a New England congressman, insisted on talking bad French to him. The poor little minister looked in vain for a chance to escape. The matrons, smilingly benevolent, surrounded him. They wanted to know if he didn't think American women charming. "Yes, madame, tree charmante and vara, vat you cill dis," putting his hand to his cheek and then continuing, "vara cheeky." Still the minister was a great admirer of handsome women. He did not, like the Corean minister, cast his eyes down at the first full dress reception ne attended and ask the interpreter if it was permitted him to look.

Mr. Ghouly left a family in Persia, and he never could endure the impertinent queries of persons who asked him about his supposed harem. He used to grow eloquent in telling of his daughter and her musical accomplishments. He

himself a fine musician, and a regular attendant at the opera. Here, too, he had to submit to the vulgar gaze, which half destroyed his enjoyment. The truth was that the minister has a striking appearance, and it was fm possible for him to escape observation. Melancholy sits on his brow," as one of his admirers says, "and it becomes him." He looks like a poet, a Persian poet He is small of Btature, his hands and feet are like a woman's, and his features are finely chiseled. No one who has been riveted by his melancholy gaze wonders that he wants to leave such an inhospitable country as this. His lonesomeness follows him like a shadow, and if he will cheer up a bit his departure will be fargiven.

Ghouly was a groat Washington swell and was quite popular during the winter.

He waa fond of going out and calling on the ladies and waa jMnarally moat hospitably received. Of oourse, than wire exceptions, as an experience he had one Sunday afternoon in May laat proved. Ghouly Khan started out with the purpose of making a round at oalls.

It was his custom to pay his respects to the ladies of the fashionable world Sundays as well aaweek days. This particular Sunday being an extremely pleasant day his landau was not brought into use. He walked from his street residence to Massachusetts avenue, in the neighborhood of Fourteenth atreet, where the objecta of his first call resided. Walking up the stone steps in an inolent fashion he reached the door and rather timidly touched the electric bell.

After lingering some moments the servant appeared, and before Ghouly Khan could utter a word she shouted out: "The ladies are all busy and cannot be bothered with you now." "Well, said the minister, completely nonplused, "there must be a mistake take ia my card." "O, don't worry them now," answered the servant. "They are all about going to dinner and don't care for any one to see them at this time. You had better come again in the morning—and the side door is always the handiest place for such as you to call."

The minister waited for no more. The rebuff he had received at the hands of the servant completely paralyzed him. He made no more calls that day, and had about concluded that he had had a sufficient dose of American aooiety.

But the next morning everything was fixed up satisfactorily and agreeably to all concerned, when the mistakes and errora had been cleared away.

The servant of the house who was detailed to wait on the door happened to be absent from his post that Sunday afternoon. When the Persian minister's ring was heard one of the waitresses down-stairs was called into requisition to perform the functions of the absent servant. She did so, and on beholding the Persian minister, his dark complexion dazzled her, and she fancied he was an ice cream agent or something of that sort. The ladies of the house soon learned of the "horrible" manner in which their distinguished caller had been received, and they at once made heroic and happily successful efforts to have the affair settled on a basis satisfactory to themselves and to the distinguished envoy from Teheran.

RAILROAD NEWS NOTES.

§*.^4 General and Personal Mention of General and Local Interest.

The Globe-Democrat of yesterday says: "Locally there was no change yesterday in the east-bound freight rate situation. The announcement in the Globe-Democrat exclusively concerning the action of the Vandalia caused a considerable stir in freight circles. The Vandalia's circular was the natural result of the Pennsylvania's action, and General Freight Agent Hibbard said that unless the meeting of the trunk lines and central traffic committee in New York on Wednesday changed the position of things the cut rates would go into effect that day. The position taken by some lines that the cut should only apply on the business coining from connections to'East St. Louis the Vandalia management contended is not fair to elevator men here. If the cut is to apply on wheat.and corn from Nebraska there is no reason why it should not apfrom East St. Louis. The Ohio & lissippi, however, has thus far protected the old local tariff and the BeeBig Four line has done the same. The Chicago & Alton has announced that it will not meet the cut tariff from East St. Louis. It remains to be seen whether the Wabash and the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City will take a hand in the cut. Traffic Manager Knight, of the Wabash, said yesterday afternoon that there would be nothing done until after the New York meeting."

The final selection of officers in the Big Four-Bee line, Cairo, Vincennes & Chicago consolidation was made Saturday. President Ingalls issued a circular announcing the appointment of Robert Blee general superintendent, Oscar C. Murray as traffic manager, and Edward Hill as purchasing agent of the Cairo. Vincennes & Chicago. These gentlemen are the leading officers of the consolidation. Mr. Murray has issued a circular announcing the appointment of J. J. Fletcher, formerly general freight and passenger agent, with headquarters at Cairo. -j Vi"*1 i, The Duluth Blot. *. buLUTH, Minn., July 7.—The smoke of the battle of yesterday has cleared away, but the situation is still ominous. There are rumors that the riotera will be reinforced from neighboring towns to-morrow, and, armed with Winchester rifles, will again attack the police. The contractors will resume work to-morrow morning under police protection at the former rate of wages. It iB a difficult matter to get at the true facts concerning the number of dead and wounded among the strikers. Many of them were taken away during the battle and could not be traced to their homes or boarding places. From what can be learned at the hoe-

Sowever,

itals and prominent boarding houses, a fair estimate of the wounded would be twenty-five and several more seriously injured than was first supposed. It is not positively known that more than one man is dead—Ed Johnston, aged 25. The death of Matt Mack, aged 35, and Tom Fitzsimmons, aged 18, is momentarily expected, and it is probable that all the others will recover. Of the police, all are doing well and several have returned to duty.

A Bold Daylight Highway Bobbery. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 7.—The, boldest, most successful and most reckless highway robbery ever attempted in this city occurred in the glaring light of day last Tuesday morning, and has just come to light. Henry Hage came here to be married. He was accosted by a stranger who knew he was in search of a barber, and who told him he was a barber and would take him to his house and shave htm. The man dashed a quantity of vitriol in Hage's face. Hage was then taken out in the woods by the robber and his accomplices. After robbing him of about twenty thousand dollars the brutes bound him hand and foot and tied him to a tree. Hage remained in the woods unconscious, bound and helplees for three days. Friday he succeeded in freeing himself and wandered home. He has not yet regained consciousness, and may become permanently deranged. There is no clue to the thieves. The $20,000 of whioh he waa robbed was in the form of two negotiable drafts, one on a Milwaukee and the other on aNew York bank. r„ ..t-jy. A"!

POLITICAL TUBHOOATS.

Democrat* Wfco Hmw Smothered

Their Oplalooa for the Sake of Place. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON,,July 7.—"The one thing that strikes me as quite atrange," said an old hanger-on around the depart* ments, "is the remarkable difference in the utterances of a class of clerka in the departments from Indiana within the past few months. There weee no more offensively partisan Democrats than these Indiana follows all last summer. They scoffed at the civil service law, sneered at the Republican nominee, swore by Voorhees, and declared their unqualified hatred to everything with the name of Republican attached, and openly boasted that their rsaignationa would bs at the disposal of their superiors the moment the political atmosphere in the White house should change.' I have noticed, however, that those same Indiana people are the quietest lambs in the departmental service to-day. There were three or four who ussd to gather every afternoon, in front of a restaurant on one of the side streets, and their denunciations of the Republican party, and their laudations of Voorhees, and the sainted Hendricks, could be heard for blocks. This little party ssems to have thrown up its charter, and no more gatherings are held now. In fact, each of the crowd seems bent on getting his meals as far away from his fellows as possible. I think that their work in the department is very much better than it used to be, and I have no doubt that the public servioe is benefitted to that extent, but it shows how essy it is for men to change their political opinions, or at least to smother them, when they fear that their bread and butter is in danger. It is_ only anotherevidence of the demoralizing effect upon the manhood of a man whioh a government position has."

WILL BE GREATLY IMPROVED.

The Com modioli* Buildings That Are to Be Erectcd at the Institution for the Blind.

About the middle of this month work on the hew addition to the institution for the blind will begin, says the Indianapolis Journal. It is the intention to have much of it completed before the winter, and thus add iialf as much room as the institution now has,besidss a number of conveniences of which it has long been in great need. The addition will be joined to the present building on the north, with a court-yard between which will be seventy feet wide and 100 feet deep. The wings of the new buildings are to be four stories high, with halls running through the threestory part that will be between, thus connecting the two wings. The body of the connecting building will be 70x42 feet. The top floor will be for practice rooma and piano instruction. The second and first floors will probably be made one and used as a dining hall. The wings will be used for school-rooms. On the third floor in each wing will be a hospital room. The stairways are to be fireproof and all through there will be every possible protection sgainst fire.

There is some little talk as to what may be done with the park north of the institution. It belongs to the state, and would make an admirable place for the blind girls and boys to have as a pleas-ure-ground, the present park about the institution being too small. Of course, if it iB to be beautified and improved for the use of the blind, the public will not be allowed to range over it, but fences must again be put up in order to give protection to the wards of the state who will find recreation there.

A Parade of the Militia.

Over forty infantry companies of the Indiana legion and half a dozen batteries of artillery will be encamp9d near this city for six days, beginning on the 22d inst. It was the intention of Adjutant General Ruckle to have this a camp of instruction, pure and simple, and to keep men and officers from visiting the city except under.the strictest military discipline. A movement, however, has begun (and the adjutant general has consented) to bring the four regiments and the batteries into the city for a few hours on some day that will hereafter be designated, and have a grand parade on the Washington street asphaltum. Such a military Bhow would be something new to the youth of this city, and might not be without use as an object lesson.—[Indianapolis Journal.

Will Not Work Without Pay. The state auditor has asked the attorney general for an opinion regarding the act creating the state live stock sanitary commission. The statute provides that the expenses of the commission shall be paid out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, and as there are specific appropriations for every available dollar, the auditor thinks there will be no fund for the payment of the commission. The commissioners in the meantime are doing nothing, and will incur no expense until they know that they are to be paid.—[Indianapolis News. •,

Lake's Walk. ft- y"

Special to the Express. j? ROCKVILL,E, Ind., July 7.—Professor W. N. Lake, the long distance pedestrian, at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon finished the greatest walk of his life. At this place Saturday morning, June 29, at 1 o'clock, a. m.m., he commenced the walk of 412 half miles to be completed in 364 consecutive half hours, a feat never before performed. During the walk he also gave exhibitions of fancy walking. He completed his journey on time by walking against a fox trptting horse, making his last half mile in 4 minutes and 64 seconds. This heat nearly overpowered him. At the windup there was a parade headed by the Rockville light artillery band and the drill team, followed by carriages.

Beginning to Enforre It.

The first conviction under the new law forbidding the sale of cigarettes to children has been had in Brooklyn, and the offender has been compelled to pay a fine of 850. This looks as though the law was not going to be a dead letter. It can be enforced, and it ought to be. Not many convictions will be required to put a stop to the demoralizing practice of cigarette smoking among boys, or at least to give a decided check to it. —[New York Tribune.

TRADE UNIONISM AND TARIFF.

The Interests of the Worklngmen tinder Protection and Free Trade.

Every workingman who belongs to a trade's union is a protectionist, saya the New York Press. He may not know it. He may be inoculated with the Democratic free trade clap-trap so as to think hia interest liee in voting the Democratic ticket but he is a protectionist.

He joine the union for his own protection. He indioates by the act that he proposes tojook out for himself. He will exclude non-union men from the factory in which he is employed but yet, when he votes for free trade he votes to admit free of duty the products of all foreign labor to compete with his own in his own oountry.

The free traders are nearly all to a man without anv sympathy for the wage earners. The doctrine of free trade is entirely opposed, .not only to trades unions and to organizations for elevating workingmen and to protect their own interests, but also to shorten hours of labor since they would increase the cost of manufacturing. Free trade means a death struggle to produce cheap goods, the burden of which must fall upon the workingmen.

The Chicago if to Go.

The naval power of the United States is represented in European waters by the little wooden, old-fashioned corvette Enterprise. As the Chicago is shortly to be sent out to Europe, the effete monarchies of the Old World will learn that the United States can still build modern warships. The duties of the European squadron are not arduous, and mainly consist of riding at anchor in the port of

Ville Franche as long as the patience or the oversight of the secretary of the navy will allow it—[Boston Transcript.

Gory Georgians.

Colonel G. Gunby Jordan, president of the Georgia Midland railroad, has invited Mr. B. T. Hatcher, banker, of Columbus, Ga., out of the state to arrange .for a duel. Mr. Hatcher selects bowieknives and a ring ten feet in circumference, the fight to be to a finish.^ Jordan's friends reject this proposition as being barbarous. The city is wrought up over the pending duel, which is temporarily postponed t,o give a board of nonor a chance. Hatcher had accused Jordan of wrecking the Georgia Midland.

A Cashier Missing.

PITTSBURG, Pa., July 7.—A Zanesville, Ohio, special reports the disappearance of Heil D. Miller, cashier of the Malta national bank, of Malta, Ohio, twenty-six miles south of that city. There is a shortage in his accounts, it is said, of at least 832,000, and it may reach $50,000. His father, John Miller, and his brother-in-law, the Hon. E. M. Stand berry, his bondsmen, have made good the loss to the amount of $20,000. The money is supposed to have been lost in speculation and poker.

An Example of It.

The system of word stuffing, by which the memory is overtaxed before the reasoning powers are awakened, is worse than worthless. "How is Europe bounded," said a teacher who believed in early cramming to one of his little pupils. "I, thou, he, she, it," was the reply. "For shame, Johnny try again." "Oh,please, sir, I remember now that is the answer to one of my grammar questions, and I thought I was to be heard in my grammar first."—[New York Ledger.

On the lawn of Joel Scarlett, at Kennett square, Pa, a few evenings since, a circle about feet in diameter seemed to have been scalded in the grass. On closer look it was found covered with yellowish fungi, which turned bluish black when the sun came out. The phenomenon has been observed several times, and was called a "fairy circle."

Joseph Conkling, aged 83, and Miss Maria Edwards, aged 73, were married at Port Jervis, N. Y., the other day. Fifty years ago they wanted to wed, but the parents of the "girl" interfered because Mr. Conkling was not well off in worldly goods. Mr. Conkling is now "well fixed" and there is no doupt of his ability to provide a home for his bride.

The old elm tree, withered and dead in the top from old age, which stands at the entrance to the south approach to the state capital tft Harrisburg, was spared from destruction years ago at the request of General Cameron, who had taken a liking to it and had asked that it should be left untouched during his lifetime.

A fatuous naval dog is attached to the United States ship Adams. He belongs to no one in particular, but to the ship in general. He has seen service in all quarters of the globe. On one occasion, when the vessel was out of commission for months and repairing in the dry dock, he betook himself to the receiving ship, hard by, but promptly reported for duty when the Adams was again ready for service.

Lawis P. Davis, after two years' absence in the West, sought out .a girl named Harris, in Barberstown, near Scranton, and in a spirit of reparation offered to wed her. Her father, hearing of hie return, had him arrested and demanded $300 in addition to the wedding. The young man had not the money. The father dropped to $200. Still the young man was too poor to pay it, and he has therefore gone to jail.

Colonel F. D. Hitt, of Ottawa, 111., possesses some rare relics of the early French explorers of the Mississippi valley. Among them are the camp kettle of La SaHe and the Jesuit cross of Father Marquette. The cross is of lead and copper, and in form is double, having a figure of Christ crucified on the obverse and of the Virgin and child on the reverse. At the end of each beam is a heart. The relics are undoubtedly authentic.

The third reunion of the Palmer family is to be held at Stonington, Conn., on September 4 and 5. The first of these gatherings took place in August, 1881, and was marked by successful attendance. It was followed by another in the next year, which was not quite so largely attended but now, after a lapse of seven years, it is expected that the gathering of Palmers in the quaint old Connecticut town will Burpaas even the first reunion.

A. T. McKissick, a prominent farmer of Fryburg, Clarion county, Pa., on entering his stable a few mornings since, found that a 3 year-old colt had had its tongue cut off. He waa about to kill the animal, but neighbors persuaded him that it might posBibly live. In the afternoon he again went to look at it, and found that in the interim both ears had been cut off. Armed men scoured the neighborhood vainly for the perpetrator.
