WHAT Is WRONGFUL INTENT?

An interesting case was recently tried be-
fore the United States court for the Eastern
district of Wisconsin. 1t was criminal
proceeding against man and wife for de-
stroyiDg letter. 1t seems that their daugh-
ter was separated from her husband, and
that her parents did not wish them to COM
municste with each other. The girl, how
ever, wrote to her husband; but the defend.
ants took the letter from the postoffice, and
destroyed it. The husband heard of it,
and made complaint. The facts narrated
above we're fully proved on the trial, but
the court, Judge Drummond presiding,
charged the jury that there mus: have been
express intent of wrongful action to make
the act crime. The jury found that there
was no such infant, and returned a verdict
of not guilty.
According to this decision a man may
violate the slnctity Of the mails, by taking
from the postoffice and destroying a letter
which one person addresses to another, IN
der the plea of keeping those two persons
from corresponding, and yet be guilty of nc
wrongful intent. What is to constitute the
sanctity of seal if letter placed in the
mails may be thus destroyed by an unau-
thorized party? Judge Diamonds inter-
probation of the Law certainly will not do.
If it stands the test, then no mans or wo-
mans correspondence is safe. The Judge
must certainly have allowed bis sympathy
for the defendants to have betrayed him
into most remarkable Interpretation of
the law.

INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS.

Previous to the census of 1910 no indus
trial statistics were collected In the United
States by act of Congress. The State of
New York first set the example in this
matter, and some Of the earlier schedules
adopted by Congress were copies from New
York laws on the subject. The ninth CEN
sus furnishes rich mine of instruction if
one viii perform ths rather severe mental
labor of working It TO the bottom. In 1870
the farmers returned eleven thousand one
hundred thirty-fcur million, nine
hundred ffty-eight thousand, seven
hurdred and forty-seven dollars
capital invested in their branch CT
industry. On all this immense capital,
and adding hereto their own large and I'M
firing labor, they got a return Of about s4OO
each year, although they paid their hired
help an average of only $lO7 each, part of
which was board. On less than one-fourth
of the capital 653, 425 manufacturers made
net profit to each Of s., 466 and 45 per
cent. interest on their investment, after
paying every operative $3.50 average wages.
Who will say that these official returns are
not instructiVe2 The work of many arti-
sans and mechanics is light aud in comforta
BILE room, as compared in the early and late
toll of farm laborer,in the sun
In The summer, in the cold in
winter, and possibly in the storm at
any time. For this work, ard board him
self, American agriculture can pay him a
magnificent salary of one hundred and sew
en- dollars 10 support his wife and little
ones and educate his children!
This is the way that farmers raise corn to
burn for fuel, while a public servant of q
free people doubles his salary of twenty five
thousand dollars year, because it was just
half as large as be wanted it till he begins
his third presidential term. Then the sal
airy of fifty thousand must be doubled for
bis benefit, and the protective tariff doubled
also to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Possibly those who have deliter-
ately sown the wind in the past
may reap the whirlwind in the future.
There is such a thing as natural justice and
retributien. American soil has been de-
plor bly, impoverished by the public policy
of some men, who must shoulder the re-
sponsibility before greatly injured nation.
The time approaches when sham states
manship will be tried by fre-when all de-
ceivers will be treated as they deserve.

FAMINE IN THEMIDsr OF PLENU,

FAMINE IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY.
1t appears incredible that there was a
great abundance of grain and vegetables in
one part of Persia few years ago, and q
terrible famine in another part from which
many thousands persisted. This comes
from the fact that one Of the oldest nations
in Central Asia has no roads for wagons or
carts by which human provisions may be
transported. The Shah conceded to Baron
de Reuter- not only the right to construct
aud operate railways seventy years, but to
collect impost duties and other taxes for
that length of time. The London CORE
spondent of the New York World obtained
the following interesting statement from
the Baron himself.
"The prime minister of Persia has been
a close personal friend of mine for upwards
of five years. 1t was the famine which led
TO the ratification Of the concession. Thou
sands of persons died of starvation, as you
know in the land of plenty. There was an
abundance of food in the country, but ow-
ing to the want of roads, it wts impossible
to convey assistance to the starving districts.
The stomach is powerful counsellor. The
Shah saw in my proposal possible escape
from the recurrence of such a calamity, and
the concession was made"
A large majority OF Americans have yet
to learn the full value of the best ironways
and canals as q means o. cheap transporta-
ton. One horse hauls more freight ona
common road in England than two do in
this country; their roads being more than
twice as hard, level and smooth ss ours.

THE third resolution adopted by the
farmers convention at Des Moines, lows,
on the 18th inst, embOdies the logic of the
movement in clear terms: ''That all class
legislation whereby any Individual or body
of individuals, or corporation is benefited
TO the de!rlment of the people, is contrary
to the principles upon which our govern
ment was founded, and tends to the de-
struction of the republic" 1t would be =
very absurd Interpretation that would seek
to makeit appear that the "class legislation"
which is here meant is only that which be-
slows franchises upon railroads. 49,

THE Philadelphia Press admits that 'it
is superine satire upon common decency
that the best positions in The Southern States
are monopolized by wretched adventures"
and justifiss this action because 'sthe exper-
fenced intellects" among the people in that
section are honest men who are too proud
to bend the knee before Grant, that thrift
may follow fawning. That sort of "argu-
ment" is eminently characteristic of Cheva-

THE NASHVILLE CUsrom-HoUsE.

THE NASHVILLE CUST0M-H0USE.
TIE last session of Congress made two
appropriations for the erection of a custom
house in this city. "Public-No. a."
which is Gan act to provide for the erection
of public building at Nashville, Tennes-
see," enacts 0rhst the Secretary of the
Treasury be, and be hereby is, authorized
and directed TO- cause to be erected, on the
ground now owned by the United States in
that city, suitable building at Nashville,
Tennessee, for the use and accommodation
of the courts of the United States, the post
Office, custom-house, and other Offices of
the government, al cost, upon plans to be
previously made and approved by the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, not exceeding the
sum Of one hundred and fifty thousand dol.
lars" This act was approved Jan. "a,
1873.
Then we find that "Public-No. 1922"
which is 'sn act making appropriations for
sundry civil expenses Of The government
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1874,
and for other purposes" contains this spe-
cifc appropriation: "That the following
sums be, and the same are hereby, app-o-
priated for the objects hereinafter ex pressed,
for the fiscal year ending June so, 1874,
namely: For erection Of building for
use Of custom house, post office, and court
house at Nashville, Tennessee, ore humid
red and fifty thousand collars" This act
was approved March 8, 1873.
Now here are two distinct ac's making
an appropriation each of one hundred aud
fifty thousand dollars for the erection OF a
Custom-house in this city, and the latter
does not repeal or annul the first;
nor do these acts, SO far as we
are capable of Judging, conflict
with each other. The first directs the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury to expend in the
erection Of public building here, not ex-
c.ediDg $50, 900, and then nearly six weeks
Afterwards, as if Congress regarded this
amount as too small, made another but I'm.
tr2,nme!ed appropriation Of $4,000. Now
we have here 100000 with which to erect
tie custom-house; at least that is the letter
of the law. The commissioners should as.
certain whether the authorities at Wash.
ington put a different construction on these
acts, and if not, they should 60 to work at
once to erect the building.

DISCUSSING the responsibility for the

by Republican journals, the Pittsturg Post
says: g lis utterly out of the question that
the Administration, in view of all the facts,
should be able to shuflle off the response
bility for this back-pay dishonor-for the
unnecessary increase of salaries in future.
They held both Houses of Congress-they
have he President. Both houses voted it
and the President approvedit. The bill for
good or evil is theirs and theirs only. When
a bill is passed reducing taxes, you never
see our Radical friends of the newspaper
press carefully counting over the list of yeas
and nays, and crediting to the Democratic
party all the votes of Democratic members.
