The Trades Congress

There is scarcely month left in which
our Trades Unions can act in selecting
delegates to the Cleveland National
Trades Assembly. OF course there is not
an hour to be lost. If the present move
ment proves failure, the only influence
that can make it SO is the apathy Of work
ingmen themselves 1t is more than
likely that those who have labored 50
faithfully to secure success will cease all

THE GENEVA AWARD.

A report prevails ythat the Geneva
award of fifteen million and a half
dollars has already been paid into
the Treasury, but on inquiry it has
been ascertained that preliminary
arrangements only had been Iaadeto
this end. On the 9Th of June the
Secretary of the Treasury issued a
circular for the redemption Of a Ger
tain series of five twenty bonds, more
than the coming amount of the
award, in anticipation of its payment
and the BriGish Government has ar-
ranged with the Syndicate to dis
charge this treaty obligation. In
pursuance of the plan adopted, a
large amount of these bonds has
been surrendered to the Treasury
and gold certificates will be issued
therefor, to be made available on
and after September 9th, at the time
of the formal redemption Of the
bonds. These gold certificates, it is
understood, are in the hands of the
British Consul at New York, to be
delivered, with other representations
of specie, their value covering the
entire award, by the British Minis
ter to the Secretary Of State, and
transferred to the Treasury as SO
much CASH.

CHARGES AGAINST Jeff DAVIS.

The harangues of Jefferson Davis
are likely 10 bring him into trouble
in more ways than one. The South
ern people are not willing to accept
his proposition that only cowardice
induced them to surrender. Nor
are they prepared to assent to his
theory that Lee betrayed them. Ex-
Governor Foot now comes forward
with statement gravely affecting
the character of Davis himself. He
accuses him of using the public
money for his own purposes; of re-
ceiving 5000. 900 in gold rom Jake
Thompson after the war of dividing
this money with Thompson, Judah
P. Benjamin, (now barrister in
London, and others; and of various
offences, which, if sustained BY evi-
dence, would prove Davis to be
thief as we'll as traitor. These are
serious charges, and Foot declares
that they can be proved. That the
South is under no obligations to
Davis was pretty well understood
before. 1t is some satisfaction to
find that the South ern people are
not disposed to be duped by him 8
second time. scs sH- -l-1 .t.s>-

A WHALE BREAKING AN ELECTRIC
CABLE AND GETTING KILLED.

On the Evening of July 4, the In
dian cable between Kurrachee and
Gwadur, a distance of three hun
dred miles, suddenly failed. The
telegraph steamer, Amber Witch,
Capt. Bishop, with the electrical
staff, under Mr. Nance, started on
the following day to repair the dam
age, which, by tests, appeared to be
one hundred and eighteen miles from
Kurrachee. The Amber Witch ar
rived on the ground on the 9th, in a
heavy sea and thick fog, but the ca
BILE was successfully fgrappied within
quarter of a mile of the fault.
Mr.. H. Izaak Walton gives this
account of what was found: son
winding in the cable unusual resis
tance was experienced as il it were
foul7of rocks; but after persevering
for sometime the body of an i'm
mense whale, entangled in the cable
was brought to the surface, when il
was found to be firmly secured by
two and half turns OF the cable i'm
mediately above the tail. Sharks
and other fish had partially eaten
the body, which was rapidly decom-
posing. the jaws falling away on
reaching the surface. The tail, which
measured twelve feet across, was per.
feet and covered with barnacles al
the eXtermlties. t!gHiFol 5'raa Ta-
I'h7Apparently the whale was, at the
time of ENHANCEMENT, using the cable
to free itself from parasites, such a:
barnacles, which annoy them verj
much, and the cable, hanging in s
loop over a submarine precipice, he
probably with a flip of his tail, twis
ted around him, and thus came to al
untimely end"

THE NATHAN MURDER,

After all, there may be something
in Irving's pretended confession of
completely in the Nathan murder,
although the police authorities OF
New York and San Francisco treat
it as unworthy of consideration. He
spoke of a memorandum book be-
ing taken from the dead mans house
on the night of themurder and gives
directions where to look for it. He
says it contained few sentances in
Hebrew caracters and the names OF
four persons residing in New York
which we're given by Irving. "A
New York gentleman whose repnta-
ton for veracity is said to be un-
questionable now says that Mr.. Ma
than possessed such a abook,and that
to his own knowledge it contained
writing in Hebrew characters, and
that the four names mentioned by
Irving were those of men with whom
Mr.. Nathan was connected either
by ties of frienship or of business.
The matter certainly is worth look
ing into but the police are not dis.
posed to trouble themselves about

off and regain his feet A blow from
his club dashed out the larger dogs
eye, and the brute ran round and
round in circle, bowling so fear
fully that the other dog ran away.
& Watching his chance, Freeman hit
the crippled dog a blow which kill
ed it, and then he crawled down to
the creek and tainted away. Some
men came along in 3 wagon and dis
covered him, and he was taken to a
farm house and cared for. On his
left leg there are nine wounds from
the teeth of the dogs; on the right.
eleven on the night arm, five; on the
left arm three; on the back, three;
on the shoulder, two: on the face,
two; on the foot, two: on the right
hand, five; ON the left, two; and one
on the back of the head making in
all forty-fve distinct and separate
bites. Some are mere "nips," draw
ing little blood, and making the
flesh black and blue, while others
looked as if the dog had 'chanked''
the flesh. The dogs were seen by
the farmers, and they could moi
identify the brutes as being owned
anywhere within five miles of the
spot where they attacked Freeman
He offered no provocation for the at
tack, having even no hint of theil
presence before being bitten. The
deepest wounds were caaterized, and
Freeman anticipates no greater
misfortune than the loss of months
time.

The BROOKLYN RING.

The death of Mills and the sus-
pension of the Brooklyn Trust Com
pany has served to bring to light the
fact that the Democratic treasury
officers of that city had half mil.
lion dollars of the money of the city
in constant use, for personal, ,politicaI
and other purposes. The discovery
that was made of large defalcations
is likely to be followed by other
discoveries, provided the proper en-.
ergy is displayed. The Brooklyn
Ring, though frightened, is not de
moralized. The defalcation that has
been made good is thought to be on
ly one, and that the effort on theil
part is to keep the others from com.
ing to the surface. The efforts ol
accountants to get at the figures have
been frustrated, and there is evident
anxiety ON the part of the officials
All this only indicates that there is
something more in the affair than
has yet been discovered.

NUMBER OF PARTIES.

30 How many have it, in their minds
that there are now no less than sew
en- political parties before the coun.
try? Yet SO it is, and the. names Of
these organizations are as follows
Republican, Democratic, Liberal, La
Dor Reform. Woman Suffrage, TEN
perance and Farmers. Surely, here
is an opportunity for every free and
enlightened citizen to suit himself
with set Of political principles and
to march to the polls with a congo
nial band of associates Ev-
cry question that can possibly be
twisted into an issue, and some
that cannot, has its place somewhere
among these parties, with all its
sides duly provided for. And yet
1t is not an area of special politica
sctivity; on the contrary, Genera
Apathy appears to be the officer OF
the day, except where individual
and local influences have stirred VI
an exception, as In this State, sc
that the number of parties mark
rather the distraction, than the iun
wonted interest of the public mind
Nor do they indicate very clear o.
permanent phases of politics.

CONTEST IN CALIFORNIA.

In California the polical contest is
apparently narrowed down to one
issue, the supremacy of Central Pa
cifc Railroad monopoly. For years
that grand corporation has CONTROL
ed the Sacramento Legislature, sent
its own Senator and Representatives
to Congress, and held the courts and
government OF the State practically
in its own hands. The people have
at last become reused, and though
the railway, kings fight stubbornly
and desperately, the issue Is going
against them, Their U. S. Senator
was defeated last fall, and. accord.
ing to latest returns, the anti-rail-
road ticket for the Legislature is
largely ahead. The absolute sway
of the Central Pacific is nearly
over. ......r..-. -..,.. -,l.- II r-p

INVESTIGATION.

For once an Investigation into
the cause of railway accident
seems to have been rigid, thorough
and brave enough to state facts.
The coroner's jury which has been
for several days in session at Muir,
Michigan, investigating the causes
of the recent frightfnl accident on
the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad
has found that the brakeman who
was sent back by the express con-
ductor to Stag" the approaching
freight train was guilty of not hav-
ing gone far enough. Second, that
the engineer of the freight train was
culpable for running at higher
rate of speed than the rules of the
company allowed, and finally that
the brakemen, of the freight train
were guilty of not being at their
posts on the top Of the cars, and
the conductor was especially guilty
in permitting them to ride in the
caboose car in neglect OF their duty.
This is plain, straightforward, sen
sible verdict. 1t is in accordance
with the facts and is stated in way
that common people can understand.
The guilty conductor and brake
men are all in Jail and there is per,
feet opportunity for the law to de
monstrate how much. it can do to
make reckless railroading crime.
With the Wawasset managers and
the Michigan railroad men fairly in
dicted, there seems to be ground for
hope that coroner's Investigations
may come to mean something.

REPUTATION FOR HONESTY.

In the course of an elaborate arti.
Gle devoted to a consideration ofthe
present and future of the Democrat
ic party, the New York World says,
'Its reputation for honesty is the
one thing the party needs to re
trieve." This, is to be sure, a
somewhat euphemistic way Of stat
ing an unpalatable truth; but when,
in however sugery phrase, the lead
ing Democratic journal of the coun
try feels compelled to admit that its
party is bypocr ticial and dishonest,
the plain and straightforward mas
ses, who despise chicanery and
double dealing, will know In an in
slant and without any teaching, how
to respond to its impudent demands
on their confidence and suffrages.
