1t is sad to think that a sentance
commencing "The gates of pearl
through which the human voice is
sues" should wreck itself in sordid
praise of what's his names tooth
powder.

bration of 1876 were received in

1t is stated that the Patrons of
Husbandry, in Iowa, have perfected
an organization for the capture of
horse thieves. Each Grange is to
have ''iive riders," who are, on rob-
berry of stock being reported, to
mount and follow the culprits. To
this end the Grange is to furnish
them with funds, not less than twen-
ty-five dollars, and on giving the
hailing sign of the Patrons all other
Oranges will entertain them free of
cost, turn out to them, or lend them
fresh horses. ara- II

THE IRON BUSINESS.

The National meeting of iron mas.
ters in Philadelphia last week reveal
a gloomy situation among the forg-
es and rolling mills. Out of 466
furnaces represented at the meeting,
266-or more than half-were re-
ported out of blast, and unless bus
mess improves there is reason to
fear that at least hundred more
will be obliged to blow out their
fires before midsummer. Tens of
thousands of iron workmen of all
grades are unemployed and others
are working for mere pittance COM
pared with their former wages. OF
the rolling mills, the rail mills de-
pendent as they are upon the patron
age of the railroads for their pros
perity-are suffering worst, there
being absolutely no business in that
direction. The other rolling mills
are mainly running on orders that
keep their men busy and the machin-
cry moving without yielding the
proprietors more than the merest
shadow of profit. There, is fair
demand for bar and sheet iron, but
at such ruinOusly low prices that
the most consummate management
is required to prevent actual and con
slant loss. Altogether, therefore,
the immediate outlook of the iron
manufacture is most unpromising.
The convention at Philadelphia urg-
ed three remedies for the depression,
lst, an increase of the tariff: I'd,
government aid to complete the
Pacific railroad and thereby create
a demand for rails and other heavy
classes of iron, and Sd, the curtail-
ment of production by the iron
wolker themselves. 1t is doubtful
whether Congress will find time in
;he three weeks of its session yet
to even consider the tar
If matter, and before another ses-
ZION convenes the present distress
will in all probability have been re-
ieved by natural means. Still, ift
congress can devise any legitimate
means of relief for the PROSTATE
BUSINESS of the country, it will be
nexcusable if through any haste to
djourn it fails to make the effo.t.--

"MURDER WILL OUT"

BY chain of almost positive evi
dence one Clark Ivens, a young man
about twenty-four years of age, whose
parents reside at Montezuma, Pike
County, is now in custody at our
county Jail charged with the murder
of Mr.. John W. Halbirt, which occur
red on the night of the 30thult. TAX
ing up the chain, link by link, the
culprit was traced to a point two
miles east Of Manchester, where he
was arrested, on Tuesday morning
last, by deputy Sheriff Jones. Since
the arrest the accused, we learn, has
substantially confessed that he was
an accomplice in the deed, and it is
believed he will yet give the whole
truth. Ivens is somewhat known
by different parties In this vicinity,
and he is, though young in years,
an old offender. He is supposed to
be one of a party who killed DR..
Foley at Montezuma, four years
ago, about which time he disappear
ed from home and was not heard of
until arrested at Carlinville for steal
ing jewels of the Catholic church
there. For this he was sent to the
State Prison two years. His broth
er, who also killed a man in Pike
county, some years ago, is now serv-
ing term of twenty years in States
Prison. He was examined before
Justices Rainey and Cook on
Wednesday, and remanded to Jail
for trial in the Circuit Court.--Car-

HOW 1T WOULD WORK.

1t is urged in favor of cremation
that, as we are moving people, we
could take our dead with us, having
once burned them, instead of leaving
them behind beneath the mold of
the church-yard. The ashes of the
departed wouldn't get much rest in
some families. But every body
wouldn't relish the idea of toting a
cemetery about in that manner. The
husband of a widow, for instance
who had bottled up two or three
husbands before him. He wouldn't
feel very angelic walking behind a
moving wagon, loaded with his
household goods, carrying husband
No. on one arm and husband No.
2 on the other. And to hear his
wife yell out from her perch along
side the driver, "Be careful of John
Thomas, husband, and don't drop
my sainted William"

MILL RIVER DISASTER.

AS the Mill River. investigation
proceeds, says the Pittsburg Ga
zette, it makes clear two very sug-
gestive facts: That the reservoir
was carelessly and defectively built,
and that for two years not a cent
was expended on it for repairs, The
result of these two forms of culpa-
BILE carelessness is the loss of one
hundred and fifty lives at the least,
and Of a vast amount of property.
But the Mill River criminals are not
worse than others in this respect.
Houses, vessels, machinery, rail
roads, and many other things, are
built, and human life is dependent
on the faithfulness with which the
work in all its branches is done.
Yet the contractor, and possibly
those responsible for giving the con-
tract, look, the one to marking a
large profit, and the other to the
cheapness of the work. Between
the cupidity of the one, and the
meanness of the other, a great wrong
is perpetrated. This is how acci-
dent after accident is precipitated,
and human life. sacrificed. How to
remedy this terrible evil is ques-
ton worthy the attention of Con-
gress. If a stringent law could be
enacted, covering all such cases, by
Congress, we would be glad. But
the State Legislatures must govern
this question. We would be glad
to see law on the statute book of
every State, making it a criminal
offense, punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment, to fail to rigidly carry
out contract, the result of which
involves danger to human life. We
realize that this will not fully reach
the difficulty, but it will exert a
moral influence and be a step in the
right direction. What is needed is
rigid exactness and care on the
part of those awarding such con-
tract-and here the case is hopeless,
so long as careless persons are al
lowed to WELD such power.

THE CRUSADE ARRESTS.

The Cleveland Leader says of the
arrest of the forty-three women in
that city:
They were arrested, taken to the
stationhouse, and released on bail
to appear before the Police Court.
ALI this time not police
mans hand had been laid upon one
of the ruffians who had beat and in
suited, the Mayor and knocked
down the reporter and such by
ISLANDERS as endeayored to protect
the ladies. This is simply what
may be expected in a city whose
Council repeals the Sunday ordin-
ance by vote of II to l, and which
has given itself TO the control of
the beer party. This is the ultimate
fruit of what our Teutonic editorial
brethren call personal liberty" the
freedom that belong by right to an
citizen.
A clergyman's wife on her knees
IN the street, praying for a saloon
keeper, is criminal, to be arrested
and dragged to prison; while the
ruffian who pelts her with eggs and
vile eoithets, and knocks her down |
in the gutter, is man to be let |
alone and assured of "protection" by
.he police. Will the Wachter state |
in plain terms what it thinks of the
Cincinnati warfare? which party was
N the wrong, and which entitled to
he protection of the law?

CROP PROSPECT.

The st. Louis Republican has the
following cheerful report of the crop
prospect in the West:
Our accounts from nearly all quart
ers in the West represent the fruit
of all kinds as uninjured, or but
slightly injured, and now beyond
reasonable danger of injury; and
the prospects are that we shall have
peaches, cherries, pears and apples
IN abundance. The farmers in those
counties Of this State and Illinois
where orchards are cultivated for
market purposes, are calculating
confidently on large fruit yield to
bring them supply of money in
advance of the field crops. The
growing wheat from all accounts,
never looked better in this State.
and is nearly as promising in Him
ois. In many places it is more than
knee high, and on the nplands un-
usually green, thick and vigorous,
with few of those bare patches that
q severe winter makes.
1t is not out of the way to say
that Missouri will yield a third
more wheat this year than it did
last The oat crop has been gener-
ally put in, and promises well. The
profuse spring rains have been of
great benefit to meadows; the grass
is thick and close on the surface,
and the hay yield of the West, one
OF the most important and saleable ofI
crops, ought to be unusually fine.
The whole prospect for farmers is
most fattering, if they would look
less to an unproductive Congress
sitting at Washington City and more
to their own fertile field for the sup-
ply Of currency they need, they
would encounter less disappoint-
ment If Congress were to vote
the issue of a thousand millions of
additional greenbacks, a Western
farmer would not get a single dol
ar of it, except by buying it, either
1y produce or a mortgage on his
arm; whereas if he relies on his
well-worked fields to bring him a.
'upply of money next fall, without
borrowing, he will be gratified.

nobody need blush; that he was
not going to speak of anybody pres

forsaken race, and he hardly knew
what model editor was. He didn't
think there was one. 1t was sure
however, that the journalist who
tried to please everybody was fool,
and not model editor, and the man
who tried to displease everybody was
a bigger fool. The man who tried
to do his whole duty, and did, might
be model editor.

He and his speech were frequently
applauded. He hoped the enter
tainment here would be sufficient to
rccomend the city to the profession
for at least one year, and spoke fe-
liciously and humorously of the
press generally. He said he had
found the press Of Columbus, when
it did a wrong, taking quite as
much pleasure in correcting it as
performing the original act.
Other toasts were offered and re-
sponded to. At quarter past twelve
the meeting adjourned. The people
of Columbus are very hospitable,aE
the editors go home with good
opinion of the kindness, hospitality
and enterprise of its citizens.
