A Practical Joke with Fatal Ending.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Mar

AAoui tAe iiiaueipit,d Inquirer, Nld1cn =.
At the corner of Seventh and Cullen
street, New Years night, a party of
colored men gathered. Most of them
were under the influence of liquor, and
behaved in a disorderly manner, and
appeared to be ready for any practical
joke. David Butler, one of the party,
rendered himself conspicuous by -four
ishing revolver. While the party was
thus congregated colored man hap
pened to pass on the other side of the
street. Upon his head was new dress
hat. This attracted the attention of the
party, and one of them drew revolver
and said: "Now, boys, see how nice
I'llplug hole in that hat" They told
him to go ahead. He did so, and the
unfortunate man dropped to the pave
ment, bleeding fearfully from wound
in the neck. AS soon as the crowd saw
the mischief which had been done they
dispersed. The injured man, whose
name was John A. Brown, was removed
to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where he
died from his wound Tuesday last.
Yesterday morning David Butler, who,
it is believed, fred the shot, went to the
Central Station and gave himself into
custody. He stated that he wanted to
stand trial fnsntls-l lsfs

Kissing the Rod.
From the Chicago Evening Post.


The newspaper press is reputed to be
a power in the land-the potential crea-
tor of Legislatures, Jud ges, churches,
public sentiment. 1t has a good opin-
ion of itself. 1t comedies without even
an afectation of bashfulness that it is
the cornerstone of civilization; that it
is the great lawmaker; that its ukase
is more or less important in every direc-
ton. n - rs ffi
Yet it is singularly passive under the
injuries inflicted upon itself. 1t per-
mits itself to be plundered most merci-
lessly by a gang of monopolists who
have the most shabby pretext for their
crime, and they even join hands with
the robber in order to make the des-
polling more complete. aI e
We allude to the twenty per cent.
tariff on paper and the fifty per cent.
tariff on type, under the shadow of that
monstrous system of spoliation which
calls itself Protection to American in
dustry." The following table shows, in
brief, the difference between the prices
of type in the United States and in the
Dominion of Canada:
