THE TERMS Commune " AND "CoM.
MuNlsTs," which occur SO frequently in
the foreign dispatches, are liable to be
misunderstood. Our ideas of Commun-
lists are derived IRON knowledge Of the
Fourier and others of that school, but
the term as applied to the political party
that now disputes with the Versailles AS
sembly the ascendency, has an entirely
different Specification. Communes were
originally towns in France which threw
off the authority of feudal lords and as
serted their freedom and maintained and
exercised the right to govern themselves.
The old Commune was that of Mans,
which revolted in 1867. Before the de-
feat of Louis Napoleon, there was in
France large number of these Com
munes governed by mayors and munich
pal councils. The term indicates what
we understand by local government,
town government" or municipal gov
eminent" In the revolution of 1875
the Revolutionary Committee of Pari,
styled itself the Commune de Paris.
Robespierre, Danton and Others of the
revolutionary leaders were officers of the
Commune. The present revolutionary
Government of Paris is Commune, and
its protested object is to secure separate
municipal existence for Paris or rather
the election of the officers of the Gov
eminent Of the capital by the people di
rect. The character of the leaders in
movement, and that of their adherents
is fully shown by their acts, and the IT,
tie they adopt, being that of the aggra
rians of 1889, is exactly suited to lheil
policy. Equality with them means net
only equality of personal rights and pro
lection by the Government, but equa'
division of landed and personal property
a division they are ready to enforce b,
any and all means in their power.

The MURDER OF SHARON TYNDALE,
at Springfield, ILL.,, early Saturday morn
ing, causes great excitement, both from
circumstances of the crime and the char
acter of the victim. Mr.. Tyndale left
his house shortly after / o'clock Satur-
day morning, intending to take the train
for St. Louis, which passes Springfield at
$50 A. NJ, and was never after seen
alive by any of his friends. When his
body was found, about o'clock, there
was a shocking bruise over the left fore
head and temple, which extended down
the cheek, while on the right side of the
back of the head, just behind the ear,
was pistol bullet wound into which a
probe was passed four inches, and which
must have caused instantaneous death
Near the body was found an oak stock
about two feet long, and pocket Der
ringer pistol. Some tufts of short brown
hair and few hairs from the head and
beard of Tyndale were also found on the
ground. From evidence taken before the
coroner's jury it is concluded that some
unknown parties must have known that
Tyndale intended to take the train, and
attacked him in the expectation of Sc
curing large sum of money. In this,
however, his assailants ere disappoint-
ed, as his wallet, which was taken from
his body, contained only $50. Some
smaller sums of money in his pockets
were left undisturbed, as was a so his
gold watch, which was secured by a steel
chain. A reward Of $1,000 has been OF.
fered for the arrest and conviction of the
murderers, which will doubtless be large.

the struggle from the beginning. The
Howe exhibited some good qualities, yet
its more cumbrous proportions and re-

light work, both machines making beau

Weed astonishes every one by flying

from dainty ruffie through thirty thick
nesses of dressed muslin, then to lace
and finally winding up with stitching
with No. 200 cotton and No. 80 linen
thread upon the same material without
change of needle or tension during the
trial. A machine possessing such al
adaptability and versatility of power is
not only wonderful to witness, but deserv

Murder In New York.

New York city is once more agitatec
over the murder of one of her respecta
BILE citizens, Mr.. A. d. Putnam, mer
chant. The assault resulting in the
death of Mr.. Putnam took place We'd
nesday night on horse car. The muir
derer was William Foster, an ex.horse
car conductor. Mr.. Putnam was riding
in the car with two ladies, his neighbors
and friends, Mrs. Duval and her daugh-
ter. Foster was riding ON the front plat
form with the driver, when his attention
was attracted to the ladies, and he began
to stare at them through the open door.
Mr.. Putnam closed the door, Foster
opened it again, and again Mr.. Putnam
closed it. Foster finally came into the
car and sat down by Miss Duval, max.
ing some insulting remark, when Mr..
Putnam told him to behave as the ladies
were under his protection, telling them
at the same time not to mind Foster, as
he was in liquor. Finally Foster re-
turned to the front platform, vowing that
ne would give Mr.. Putnam hell when he
got off. The car stopped at the corner
of Seventh avenue and Forty sixth street
and Mr.. Putnam was helping the ladies
off the rear step, when Foster, who
had run down on the outside of the car
from the front platform. dealt him a
heavy blow. on the head with car-hook
which felled him to the ground with a
fractured skull, injuring him so that he
died Thursday night. Mr.. Putnam was
highly respectable merchant and his
death by the assault of Foster, who is
respectfully connected, but is himself a
miserable wretch of dissipation, has ere.
ated a sensation not equalled since the
murder of Nathan.

taking into consideration that at the

pleasant one to read, but the exampl,
hardly feasible one to follow.

The wages of Treachery.

A week or two since the republicans
in the House Of representatives of New
York, had sufficient numbers to prevent
the Tammany democrats from carrying
through their jobs aud schemes to tax
the people and perpetuate their power,
and threupon agreed to stand by the peo-
pie and signed unanimous agreement
to that effect. What was their astonish-
ment a day or two after when one Or
ange S. Winans, who had already and
without objection signed the agreement,
and who apparently was in hearty ac-
cord with the republicans of the State
sold out himself to the democrats, voted
with them, and thus the jobs all went
