What is to be said of the men who are morally
incapable of obeyng the injunction which comes in
a physical sense from the pOceman-the order to
move onV There are those to whom ill-fOrtune
seems predestinate, for nothing which they under
take prospers, and to them the refrain, I'VE may
be happy YETI seems to sound like knocking bad
image. For example, here is a poor man, Henry
Ryan by name, on whom fortune, the tickle Jade,
only frowned. The English newspapers report him
brought into st. Pancras workhouse a complete
skeleton" in garments good" but, alas! "very
dirty" Just before he died. for he died shortly, be
told how he was only thirty-two years old; how he
had been editor of newspaper deceased; how he had
tried to get bread by translating French MS. and
how for some time he had been a houseless walker
of the streets with no food except pieces of bread
which he found on walls and fences" how he had
slept if at ALL on the grass in the parks during the
day; and how at night he was continually greeted
with the order to "move on move onW To I'LL to
the brim the cup of his misery, he was suffering
from consumption, and mis- death was occasoned by
that disease accelerated by exhaustion aud neglect.
Poor man. We sincerely hope when he got to
Heaven he was not still commanded to move on ~

It is pretty clear that the only damaging
testimony brought out in the present investl-
CATION of what is known as the Canadian Pacific
Railroad scandal will be by implication. The di-
rect evidence is significant only when compared
and sfted. There seems to be but little in
clination to do that. Toronto correspondence
of The TRIBUNE, published on another page,
shows how this comparison can be made to
prove much of the original charge against the
Canadian Ministry. 1t is certain that the
Allan party, by enormous contributions Of
money in a recent canvass, saved the Ministry
from defeat; that these subscriptions were
made while the elections were pending, and
that Allan got the Pacific Railroad contract in
a manner which was irregular and doubtful.
This is a clear case of circumstantial evidence,
to say the least.

EX-GOV. Stanford, President OF the Central
Pacific Railroad, seems TO be very candid
gentleman. In the contest which has just
closed in California, the newspaper organs of
the railroad constantly asserted that railroad
affairs were not in the slightest manner in
volved; the only question was as 10 the fitness
of legislative and other candidates. Now,
however, the railroad magnates harangue their
wO1llmen and tell them that the State election
has been decided against them. This is pretty
plain talk, and people will ask how it happens
that a great corporation, enriched by Subsi-
dies from the National Treasury and born
under an act of Congress, assumes to control
the election of members of q State Legislature.
Col. Uscatequi, who has just been murdered
by the Panama police, was commander of q
squad of native tatterdemaliOns whose nominal
business it is to guard the railroad transit of
the isthmus. These burlesque soldiers were
thrown into the gap between the opposing
forces of recent afternoon revolution i'll
for Neira, who consequently became President.
Uscatequi, however, was more lately sus-
pected of lukcwarmness in the Neiran cause,
and declining an arrest by the armed police,
was summariy shot on the spot. This seems
farcical, though it was tragical enough to
Uscatequi and bystander who was so i'm
prudent as to be within shooting distance of
the firing squad. Leaving out the two deaths,
the whole affair is a close copy of the average

a NIsht Ride I'm the Caboose.

The car is short caboose, fashioned
like small, ill-shsped back kitchen,
and has no more wheels than a one
horse wagon, which gives it an uneasy
and suggestive way on the track. A
brakeman eits with his head swung out
at window. The conductor sits with
his watch in his baud. Nobody has
any business there at all. The engins
eer ia doing his best to make a diatant
station, and get upon the side track
before the Express wants the road. You
find this cut by degrees, 1t makes you
feel light, but not airy. The kitchen
rocks Ikea cradle for dozen rods and
then bounces the light out aud the wa
ter.barrel over and. your hat off, and
the stove rattles like a smithy in driv
ing time. Then it gathers Itself up like
salient goat, and bounces against the
bumper of the next car, and something
snaps. No matter. The train swings
around curve, and you feel as you did
years ago when you were the last boy
on the string in the game Of "snap-tbe-
whip" You steady your lower jaw a
little, and ask the conductor il he is
going to stop before he stops for good,
TO wit meets the Express, and he says
"Geneseer 1t occurs to you that he
has mentioned the very place you ars
bound for, though you never heard it
before. The conductor informs you it
lie safe to bet we are Just dusting,' and
you believe him-the only safe thing
about the train. 1t is thirty miles an
hour. Another head is hung out OF a
window, and you think you'll try 10
count fence posts. 1t doesn't happen to
be fence. but q stockade aud as for
te!egrsph-poles, you have seldom OBJ

look forward, and see lights down the
track. Drawing in like turtle, you tell
the conductor. What is it Joe?' and
the brakenen replies, "Nothin'." The
conductor puts his watch to his ear.
Has it stopped ? With rattle and roar
the engineer keeps luuchirg the train

The woman Question.

1t seems not improbable that the Con

women shall be eligible to offices filled
by appointment. To this there will be
no serious objection, bit beyond this it
is certainly not wisdom, at present, tc

Whatever may be the merits of the
woman question: and however conclu
siye the advocates of women suffrage
may deem their arguments, there is one
insuperable reason why the Convention
should not incorporate woman suffrage
in their work. That reason is, that il
would certainly defeat the Constitution
before the people; or, if submitted sep
arately, would undoubtedly be voted
down ten to one
Whether this measure be intrinsically
right or not, is not now proper ques
ton for members of the Convention. -
1t is enough for them to know that tn
people are not ready for it, and positive
ly will not have it.

Supr eme Court Decision on the

COLUMBUS, June 24-The Cincinnati
Bible case was decided by the Supreme
Court to-day; Judge Welch pronounc
ing the unanimous opinion of the Court.
The decision of Judges Hagan and
Storer of the Superior Court of Cincin-
nati,w reversed by the Supreme Court
and the petition filed for an injunction
by John D. Minor and others was dis
missed. The effect of this is to leave
the Miller resolutions, which exclude
the reading of the Bible, singing and
religious instruction from the common
schools, in force. ~
The Court held that the Constitution
and laws delegate to the School Board
the exclusive right to decide what books
should be read, and what instruction
should be given in the schools, and that
the Courts can not interfere with the
exercise of this discretion. They held
that both resolutions of the School
Board-the resolution forbidding relig-
ious instruction, as well as that rescin.
ding the rule requiring Bible-reading as
the daily opening exercise-were with.
in the discretion of the School Board
and could not be enjoined or interfered
with by any Court.

How the Germans Will Use the
French Indemnity.

An official statement by the German
authorities shows how the French in
demnity has been divided. Out of the
FIVE milliards of francs one and half
milliard was to be allowed for certain
expenses of all the German States in
common, and 325,000,000 were paid
back to France on account of the rail
ways in Alsace and Lorraine-leaving
in all about one milliard of thalers, or
f150,O0O, for further division By spe-
cial laws. out of this sum were allotted
81 100000 of thalers to indemnify pri-
vate losses, including those caused by
the siege of Strasburg; 100000 to in
demnify German ship-owners; 1S,500,-
900 to replace railways in Alsace-Lor-
raine; 100000 to compensate Ger
mans on French territory; 100000 for
donations to generals and statesmen
40, 100000 for establishing military
chest; 81 100000 for internal financial
measures; 100000 for the construc.
ton of fortresses; 100000 for siege
material; 20,000,0OO for cost of the oc.
cupation of French territory, etc. leav
ing TAO, 146, 900 thalers to share between
the North German Confederation and
the Southern States, which, it is said
will not more than cover their actual
expenses during the war. From this
however, the Chancellor asks for cred
| it of J07, ,000,0 900 thalers to re establish
the military service of the empire, SC
as to render the army ready at any mo-
ment to take the field. The amount o.
this demand includes, among Other
items, "a, 100000 thalers for rifles of 6
new pattern, 100000 thalers for i'm
proved ammunition, and over 10000,
600 thalers for new artillery and ammu
