A public meeting in an lowa village recently passed resolutions declaring that they would ter and feather any •man who attempted to sell liquors in the town. No liquors were sold. A farmer's wife near Ernaaus, Pa., recently rigged herself out in a suit of men's clothes and proceeded to drive the reaper. Fifteen of the men employed 3n the harvest concluded she was assuming their prerogatives and struck. She did a very neat job bf driving, and this, or the fear that tlfey would get no dinner is probably the reason for the atrike. . Washington, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan were the only Generals that ever held the title of Lieutenant General. Congress is proposing to reestablish this rank, but as in times of peace distinguished Generals are distinguished only because of the positions they occupy, not because of any /qualities of their own, it might be as well to let the honor of such a rank come only to those who earn it. Petitions are pouring into the Senate asking that the President be permitted annually to appoint twenty ca-. dots to West Point, and that he be confined in the selection to the sons of army officers. The last thing we want in this country is an hereditary militwy class. Army officers complain that there are no schools for their children at their military posts, and that their pay is not large enough. That is all true. But, nevertheless, better remedies than theeoaeL suggested. The pay might be increased, or those who become officers might go into more useful and lucrative pursuits. At any rate, wo do not want military officers who inherit their rank.—New York World.

Tiie decision in the Minneapolis court in the case of Moere against Rugg is a just one and in line with the authorities established in several other States. When a person goes to a photographer, sits for a port-ait and pays the photographer's price, the transaction is completed. The customer hasan undoubted right to demand the destruction of the negative or its possession. If he chooses to leave the neg ative in the custody of the photographer that he duplicates, this does not give the photographer the least right to reproduce, photographs from that negative fei sale or even for exhibition. There isa Case in New York in whieh a photographer was compelled to remove from his case a photograph so wrongfuilj exposed, and also to pay damages fOi the misuse of the negative. The Farmers' Alliance and other farmer’s organizations of Illinois propose, it is said, to establish and ope rate a plow factory. This might he a good scheme, and then again it might be a disastrous one. The moment the •wheels begin to turn those immediately interested cease to bo farmers ana have become manufacturers. Their interest in the farm ceases except in so far as it will use their product, and the farmer’s interest in their manufactures ceases except for the lower price at which he may (or may not) be able to get utensils. Wo trust the lesson f the Grange will not bo forgotten at this time. The Grange was and is an honorable order, but it made some serious mistakes, notably the mistake of extreme selfishness, which proved its virtual downfall. The Grange seemed to labor under'the de- * luston that it had exclusive rights, and in the strength of increased numberssought to remove the yoke from its Own nock, and—not destroy it or set it aside —place it on the neck of others. It had not learned thjfit farming was but one of the many trades and callings that go to make up a world, with the same, but no worse, discouragements that pve-y man meets in life. It seemed to regard the merchant and manufacturer as. useless appendages to the social system, and sought to displace them with merchants and manufacturers selected from its own ranks, by the establishing of co-opera-tive stores. Why, after a while, the one selected by the Grange would be more advantageous to it, its members evidently did not stop to consider. Nor did it consider the injustice done the merchant and manufacturer. who, by the investment of oapltal, at great risk, had broi ght oopveniences and a market to every door, and who would thereby be de-

oE Vue right to an honest, livingfor valuft given. It did not contemplate that if its co-operative schemes were successful it would throw the merchant and manufacturer out of business, themselves to become tillers of the soil and competitors with. ITuT the products of the farm, instead of being consumers as before. Small crops usually mean high prices. The merchant therefore contributes to the farmer when the latter’s crops fail, in the increased cost of the products lie consumes. The Grange went farther and had a revengeful eye on the railway corporation, but ere it had reached the point where it could dictate the policy Of the railway, disintegration dulled its claws, and it became powerless to accomplish either good or evil. Its motive, begun in the mutual and laudable interests of its members, became the most extreme type of selfish.ness.

The Alliance is in a position to avoid this mistake. Its policy ought to be to educate the world in the wrongs the farmer is compelled to endure. Then in good season, when the fruit is ripe, it will fall into his lap, juicy and luscious. If plucked before it is ripe the fruit itself is destroyed and another season must lapse ere tho reward is given him. The policy to be pursued should be to build up the farmer, not to tear down the merchant or manufacturer, to create not to destroy. The right of farmers to organize,is conceded, and, in fact, it is desirable and necessary. right to combine and form a “trust" is fully as justified as any other interest—coal,, railway, ice, twine, labor or brewing. But a trust combination is an iuhuman arrangement, by which the interest proposes to prohibit competition, limit production, and compel payment by the general consumer of exhorbitant profits. The trust puts its heel on the neck of the consumer and demands his money or his life—little less reprehensble than common highway robbery. The only ways of overcoming this inhuman trust policy is (1) to refuse to purchase the product, or (2) by orming an equally inhuman policy as to the products the trust itself must use. Now, if every farm and kind of labor and product were each in a trust combination there might be a good deal of satisfaction to each one, hut there would be no greater profits than if unrestricted production prevailed. Ts the farmer could so combine as to imit the production of tho farm to .he actual demands, he would only is doing what every othor class of trade is attempting to do. But be can not do this, nor can any other •lass of combination, being contrary to he laws of humanity, suceeedany great! lumber of years. Let the farmer attend his plow! the merchant liis wares, the manufacturer his machiu•ry, each unselfishly endeavoring to oettec those around him as well as his own condit’on, and universal justice will make all things right. The blacksmith, however, must not expect to make his own shoemaker his own hat, the merchant raise his own wheat, nor the farmer make his iwn plow. By a reciprocal policy, such as has always prevailed, will all men be made more prosperous and happy. L.

Uneasy Lies the Head, Etc.

rribuue The Czar is not to be blamed for dismissing the chief of his private police, seeiDg that a barrel half full of dynamite got into the Czar's cellar he other day without the knowledge of that official. The Czar’s cellar police ought to scrutinize all incoming oarrels with the utmost thoroughness, steadily maintaining that any package arriving below stairs addressed to the Czar is to be regarded as loaded until it is proved innocent. lt may be added, my son. that Czars, although they move unchallenged in the best circles tnd never want lor spending money or good clothes, probably have little spontaneous, undiluted fun. ' How can. a man really surrender himself to the innocent pleasures of life who starts front feverish sleeky night after night to wonder if there is not a barrel under his bed or down cellar containing more or less dynamite? A humble cot is much to be preferred.

Some time ago deceased was driving his horse, when the animal coughed and blew saliva into the face of its master. Last week Ruhi’s Tace became literally encrusted with small pimples, and these spread over its body until eventually it became a mass of sores. Medical science was of no avail. Dr. Jansen, a local physician, says that death was -due-ta.-bLood poisoning, caused, by the obnoxious matter from the horse becoming absorbed into the man’s system. It is supposed that the animal was suffering from glanders. Conductor Lew Stinson, of tho Evansville & Indianapolis Railroad, while en route to Evansville, espied the body of a man lying near the track,a few miles south of Washington.

It is claimed that the dock laborers purposely delay work in order to get extra pay after hours.

CENTRAL AMERICAN SITUATION.

Salvador’s Army Likely to Be Annihilateiiiu Guatemala—Outside interference. It is believed that San Salvador is row in a most precarious situation. Her whole available strength of -20,000 troops has been thrown into Guatemala. Flushed with reported success, this little ar.my, growing smaller with each engagement, is pushing forward into the heart of the enemy’s country. It is to be feared, however, that when Guatemala and Honduras have mobilized their forces they will overwhelm this little army, which seems to have already wandered beyond the lines of possible retreat. It is feared, in that event, Salvador will be able to make but a poor show of defense when the tide of invasion rums. Then, it is thought, will be tho time for Nicaragua and Costa Rica to take the field. Even, then, unless Mexico comes to the aid of the smaller States, the probabilities are that Guatemala will be enabled to impose her rule upon the entire country, and substitute a centralized military government for the proposed federal union. Meanwhile Guatemala has to settle a serious account with the United States government on account of the seizure by Gautema.a. on the 4th inst.,of war supplies on board the Pacific Mail steamer Colima, legally shipped at San Francisco for San Salvador. No intimation had been given of a state' of siege having beep declared before the Colima sailed. It is understood th it Mr. Blaine has taketi prompt action in the matter. Aside from this episode strong hopes are entertained among a large' circle that the United States will put forth ,ts best endeavors to smooth over the quarrel, and stop the war ere it goes too far.

I have made positive engagements which will prevent my acceptance ! of your invitation. I desire, however, to ? be entered as one of the protestants.

WASHINGTON.

The Senate of the United States has Grant relative to the removal of the remains of her distinguished husband from, his burial place in New York to Washngton. The President has approved the origins package bill. More than 230,000 applications have already been filed under the dependent pension bill, which became a law June 27 little more than a month ago. At this rate the Treasury will soon be able to make a pretty close estimate of how much the bill will cost it, for all the disabled: veterans will be heard from in a very short time. The President and Mr. Blaine witnessed a thrilling struggle for life, at Cape May, on the 4th. A large party were in bathing. They were amusing themselves by diving from a large raft. The tide turned and a large wave swept overboard, and one lady rescued after a very serious struggle by Mr. A. W. Buch, who was so exhausted when ho reached the beach that he fainted. The President has sent to Congress the following resume of a letter recently received by him from Gov. Steele, of Oklahoma: “Information received by me from other sources leads me to believe Gov. Steele is altogether right in his impression that there will be, unless relief is afforded either by public appropriation or by organized individual effort, widespread suffering among the settlers in‘Oklahoma. Many of these people expended in travel and in providing shelter for their families all of their accumulated means. The crop prospects for this year are, by reason of drought, unfavorable, and the ability of the teiritory Itself to provide relief must be inadequate dnring this year. I am advised that theca is an unexpended balance of about $45,000 of the fund appropriated for the relief of the sufferers by flood on the Mississippi river and its tributaries, and I recommend that authority be given to use this fund to meet the most urgent necessities of the poerest people in Oklahoma. Steps have been taken to more particularly learn the condition of the people throughout the territory, and if a larger relief should seem to be neeessary the facts will be submitted to Congress.”

NAVAL OFFICERS SUSPENDED.

Story of a Court Martial While the White Squadron of Evolution Was at Bio. A story has just leaked out to the effect that while the white squadron was anchored at Rio Janeiro, Brazil, in J une last, two of the officers, Ensign Manning Keyres and Junior-lieutenant William R. Rush, were subjected to a court-martial for being on shore over night, xtne staying away twenty-four and one forty-eight hours, and that for this both were sentenced to suspension from duty for two years. The reason for this heavy sentence, as given by a prominent yard officer, who is authority for the story to a reporter, was that Rio Janeiro was at that time an infected port, the disease being yellow fever. As is well known, infectious diseases are much more likely to be contracted at night than by day, and for this reason the navy regulations: provide very stringent rules in relation to shore leaves in Infected ports, the order being that no member of the ship’s company shall remain on shore after dark. Disobedience to this rule means the likelihood of infection to the whole ship’s crew. Whether or not this is the whole of the story cannot be ascertained, since the whole affair has been kept so quiet that not more than half a dozen of the yard olHcers are aware of its having occurred at all. There are rumors of other troubles having occurred on board ship, one of the cases being well krown, namely, the Buspension of Commander Howell, on the ground of disobedience of orders in having sailed his ship out of the harbor of Toulon without permission. The case, it is said, still remains to be settled.
