JUNE 19, 1886,

TWO EDITIONS

Of thlKj'nper arc published. The FIRST EDITION on Thursday Evening has a large circulation in the surrounding towns, where it is sold by newsboys and agents. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Afternoon, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city, and the farmers of this immediate vicinity.

Every Week's Issue is. In fact, TWO NEWSPAPERS, in which all Advertisements appear for the price of ONE PAPER.

Advertisements first appearing in the Saturday issue go ia the ^Thursday edition of next week without extra charge.

IT seems to be a real fact that the servant girls of St. Louis are joining the ing the Knights of Labor in the hope, it is said, of being able to force their mistresses to terms. This is the first intimation the public has had that a servant girl ever asked anything that was not promptly accorded her.

THE Persian mission is in a bad way. Bayless Hanna refused it and Winston, of Chicago, who accepted it and went over to the Shah's country has resigned the unenviable post after a very brief experionco. There is talk of abolishing the mission altogether which would perhaps bo nbont the best thing that could be .dono with it.

JITJKIINQ from the amount of free advertising it lias received in the newspapers, Miss Cleveland's new book will have a large sale. It will probably make a handsome addition to tho $12,000 she has already had from her publishers. But after tho present venture Miss Rose will havo to float her books upon their own merits and then they will not float so well.

HAM SMAU- says it is nobody's business whether ho and Sain Jones smoke or not. It seemed to bo somebody's business, though, whon they "swore off" with such a grand parade at Chicago. They wore both willing enough to have it known that thoy had quit tho use of tho wood. Thoy should not be ashamed to lot it be known that thoy havo "resumed" it, if such bo the fact.

ROSK growing Is now the popular rage in Boston, Now York and other fashionionablo con tors. Tho rose has supplanted the enmolia as tho fashionablo flower of the ball-room and for interior decoration. ('hoico boquets of roses now bring as high as $15 and in tho winter season. Now Jersey produces the finest specimens of this beautiful fiowor, especially in tho toa variotlos.

Miss CIHANT, tho American girl who has broken ofT her engagement with the tho English fool Lord, Garmoyle, is having a great many compliments for her good sense'in tho matter. Of course she is to bo congratulated for doing a sensible thing at the last, but it would havo boon well if she had dono tho sensible thing at tho first and never engaged herself to such a shallow-pntod good-for-nothing.

THIS old Shah of Persia is not very smart or ho wouldn't stand round insisting on a premium from people who want to build mil roads through his Uod-for-saken country. Instead of asking boodle he should be willing to give boodle for such a purpose. A good, livo American rail read through tho purblind old oriental mogul's dominions would be worth more than all tho boodle ho could ever hope to get even if ho were a whole board of boodle cltv aldermen.

Tiru present Congress has not had its equal In many a day for general donothingness. A long session has been absolutely frittered away without the accomplishment of any really important legislation if we except the bill repealing the titnlwr and desert land acts, and even this only half finished, the Senate not yet having acted upon it. Yet the impression among public men is that about all has been dono that is likely to tie done. The President is reported to lie much displeased at the sloth fulness and general incompetency of the legislative branch of the administration, as well he may lie, for its action has thrown a wet blanket upon his aspirations for a second term.

TWK agricultural committee of the Senate is getting light on the oleomarga rine bill. Prof. Morton, of Stevens' Institute of Technology and Prof. Chandler. cx-presldent of the New York board of health, both chemical exports of tnan years' experience, testified before the committee recently that they had given much study to the subject of oleomarga rine and had reached the conclusion that it was made by equally cleanly processes from equally wholesome materials, as butter, and is a wholesome substitute for the latter. This is a good card far olemargarine, to be sure, and we are glad to hear such a clean and wholesome report of the much maligned article. Nowlet St be marketed tor oleomargarine and not for butter and nobody can have rea sonable ground for complaint. It may be evtr so much better than butter but real, first-rate butter satisfies most people very welf.

IT is intimated that Mr. Hcocher. who Is now on his way to Europe, for a long vacation, will take a hand In th# parliamentary contest soon to be Inaugurated

in England. He is an enthusiastic Home Ruler, as most Americans are, and is besides an ardent friend of Gladstone. Popular and eloquent as the great preacher is,, he may be able to exert a very appreciable influence upon British public sentiment. By his sermons, writings and frequent mention in the newspapers he is well known to English people, many of whom also heard him speak in behalf of the cause of the union at the breaking out of the war. Although the English people do not as a rule take kindly to suggestions from this side of the water respecting their political affairs, Mr. Beecher's fame and years will insure him a kindly and respectful hearing and when he once has this his eloquence, logic and enthusiasm will not go for naught.

MARVELLOUS Minneapolis seems disposed to keep right on in the wonderful career of prosperity which has been at once the admiration and puzzle of the rest of the country. The Tribune, of that city, shows that the bank clearings of the first five months of 1886 have been nearly a third in excess of those of the same period of 1885, that the calculations of the directory-makers indicate a present population of 150,000, and that about 25,000 will be added to her population during the present year. Building goes on briskly, the great mills are busy, the general trade is satisfactory and steadily increasing and the general condition of city is prosperous and promising. The new exposition will open about the middle of September and will undoubtedly attract many thousands of strangers to the city. It is evident that the city of the falls has not yet reached her full growth, wherever the stopping place may be.

AMONG other things, the right of a man to work is being settled by the courts. In New York and Pittsburg suits have been brought against strikers for interfering with others who wished to work, and in the former city a workman who stabbed another who had assaulted him while at work was acquitted by tho jury that tried him, on the ground that he was acting in self-defense in repelling the attack. This was the case of a man who had loft the union to which ho had previously belonged and had accepted employment from a boycotted brewer. While at work for the latter he was assaulted by a union workingman and it was in repelling this assault that ho stabbed his assailant. In a Missouri town a striker who had tried to wreck a train and had fired at the guard was, a few days ago, sentenced to imprisonment for two years and to pay a fine of ^500, and warrants have been issued for the arrest of a large number of the St. Louis strikers on the charge of conspiracy for disturbing men who wished to work and for endangering tho property of tho railroaid company. The final outcome of all these various cases will be of interest to the public, because, although the logat principles involved in them are well settled a

familiar, the cases them-

selvos present some novel aspects.

SANATOR PI.ATT, of Connecticut, recently made some very sensible suggestions in regard to wealth-getting, in a privato letter which he wrote. Mr. Piatt said that, in his opinion, the outcry against rich men is really against the methods of obtaining wealth which are unfortunately so prevalent at the present time, and against the uses which men make of their wealth. He says: "Many fortunes are made by methods which common consent brands ns Inequitable, If not dishonest. The stylo and the object of expenditure of money by rich people is often exasperating in the Inst degree. Such acquirements and expenditure naturally excite the antagonism of those who still possess a sense of Justice, and who still hope for elevation instead of the degradation of the masses."

This is undoubtedly the secret of most of the protost against the possession of groat wealth by the few. Having acquired their money by dishonest or unfair means, they set themselves up to ape the manners of foreign aristocrats, and thus not only bring themselves into odium but, by a reflex action, cast unpopularity upon the rich generally. That much of this feeling is unjust is proved by the fact that many rich people enjoy the respect, confidence and affection of their poorer neighbors, who thoroughly know and understand them.

A NEW SECESSION".

Plucky little Nova Scotia has voted to secede from the Dominion of Canada, which for some time past she has liked none too well, and which she likes much less since the action of the Dominion government on the fisheries question. Nova Scotia's sympathies are with the Yankees on the question of fish and bait, and it is thought she would rather like to come into the American union if the coast were clear for such a course.

And the United States might do a good deal worse than taking in a pnvince like Nova Scotia. The territory is not very large, to be sure, a little more than a third that of Illinois, but it has a thousand in lies of coast line, with many splendid harbors its coal, marble and other mineral deposits are extensive and valuable it has fine forests of timber and many rich and lovely valleys and, more than all else, its thousand miles of coast waters are filled with all varieties of fish. Of this commodity more than $4,000,000 worth is exported each year.

The people are mostly religious, being Catholics, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists and Episcopalians, and there Is a system of free schools in the province.

When Nova Scotia gets ready to knock for admission into the great American union we are not so sure that we can afford to keep her out.

THE LAST TRUMP.

The following humorous verses, from the pen of Phoebe Cary, have never before been published. They were recently found by General S. F. Cary while

looking

through some old papers of the

famous sisters: No matter how strictly according to Hoyle You may shuffle your cards, or your own mortal coll— How you play out your best cards or what you conceal. There is one who can beat you, and give you the de'il. In the sharp game of life yon may win the first trick:

But after you've cut your last cards and yonr trick, Then, deuce take it all, even though yon die

Whether kings, queens, or knaves, he will take you the same. You will find life at last a pretty grave joke, For you can't let it pass, and you cannot revoke Gabriel takes you at last, you may like It or lump, For he'll Order you up, and he holds the last trump.

Talmage preached another of his series of sermons on the labor question last Sunday, taking up the subject of intoxicating drink. It was a stropg and impassioned appeal and should go into the home of every workingman in the country. Referring to the financial phase he said: "Gather up the money that the working classes have spent for rum in the last thirty years and I will build for every working man a house and lay out for him a garden and clothe his sons in broadcloth and his daughters in silks, and stand at his door a prancing span of bays and secure for him a policy of life insurance, so that the present house may be well maintained after he is dead. The most persistent, most overpowering enemy of the working classes is intoxicating liquor. It is the anarchist of the centuries, and has boycotted and is now boycotting the body and mind and soul of American labor. It is to it a worse foe than monopoly and worse than assoclat-' ed capital. I will undertake to say there is not a healthy laborer in the United States who, within the next ten years, if he will refuse all intoxicating beverages and be saving may not become a capitalist on a small scale."

LITTLE SERMONS.

The line of life is a ragged diagonal between duty and desire. There is no substitute for thoroughgoing, ardent and sincere earnestness.

The setting of a great hope is like the setting of the sun, the brightness of our life is gone. -33

It is better to sow a good heart with kindness than afield with corn, for the heart's harvest is perpetual.

Men very often preach from the housetops, while the devil is crawling into the basement window.

It is not enough to keep the poor in mind but give them something to make them keep you in mind.

Violent delights have viol'ont ends, and in their triumph die like fire and powder, which, as tbey kiss, consume.

Hasty words often rankle in the wound which injury inflicts, and soft words assuage it forgiving cures, and forgetting takes away tho scar.

DISGRACEFUL.

LINCOLN'S TOMB TURNED INTO A MON-EY-MAKING SHOW. W. A. Holmes of Boston calls the attention of the Cleveland correspondent of the Enquirer of Cincinnati to a queer state of affairs at the tomb of Lincoln, which he visited the day after Decoration Day. 'I found at the tomb," he says, "a fleshy man wearing no collar but possessed of a manner of deep solicitude to get a fee of twenty-five cents from each visitor. In fact, the place has been turned into a dime museum, except that the admission fee is twenty-five cents instead of a dime. A poor man with three ladies and a child, who had come a long way to visit the tomb of the martyred President, was much taken aback when told that he would have to pay a quarter apiece for the members of the pai ty. He would no doubt have gone out, but they wera strangers in the place, and he was ashamed to ao so. He handed a dollar to the guide, who extended his hand, saying: •Twenty-five cents more, please. YouMl have to pay for that child.' The poor man gkve up a quarter more, and then, in an unpleasant frame of mind, went through the tomb. "Part of it is devoted to the exhibition of relics, which the guard describes in an unchanging lingo: •This from Philadelphia '4tnis from the box where Lincoln was shot 'those stains on it are Lincoln's blood ''that was worn by an actress in the theatre where Lincoln was killed, and that is Lincoln's whiskers letter.' I was curious to know what that whiskers letter was, and found upon inquiry that it was a missive penned, bv Lincoln to an a tless little girl who advised him to shave off his oeard. Having shown us through the museum, the guide took us into the place where the remains of the dead lie. He pointed out each compartment with an explanation as to whose remains lie there, and, with equal care as to details, showed a vacant compartment with the assertion that that nole is for the body of Robert Lincoln when he shall die.' I confess that the whole af&ir shocked me. The man is not to blame. He is employed, as I understand it, bv the Monument Association. The citizens have protested against the arrangement to no effect. The monument trustees argue that it costs money to keep up the monument."

JtASCALS LACK INGENUITY. (Bob Ingemoli.} Whenever anybody makes haste to do wrong they are very apt to stumble. If people were as ingenious as they are wicked rasmlitv won Id rule the world. Bat they generally lack ingenuity. Boil It down as you will, there Is nothing smart In meanness honesty Is pretty ne*rlv gen in*.

A man endowed with great perfections, without good breeding, is like one who has his pockets full of gold, but always wants change for his ordinary occasion.

Sincerity is to speak as we think, to do as we pretend and profess, to perform and make good what we promise, and really to do what we would seem and appear to be.
