ESGLANp,s LABoRINa CLASSES.

An English bench OF magistrates was en-
lightened, few days since, on the ethics OF
cotton-spinning, by case which disclosed a
viliainous fraud, but which was allowed to
pass unnoticed. A number Of cotton-spin-
ners, working for the Automatically e
Co,ton-Spinning Company, were summoned
for Leaving their employment without cause
"a rather singular charge it would seem to
the avera &c American mind. 1t appeared,
however, that there was a cause, and that
cause was self-pressrvation,-said TO be the
first law of natare. They were spinning
rotten cotton, to render which merchantable
it was necessary to disguise its true condi-
ton. To do this the Company put blue
lead into it, powdered mineral COM
pound extremely poisonous TO tho misera-
bic operatives. For this reason the POOR
people, men and women, had LETT. II cei-
tainly appeared that they had cause, and
so the case was dismissed. The most inter-
esting feature of the case was dispute be-
tween the attorneys, one Of whom had char
acterized the blueing business as fraud.
This he partially apoligized for by stating
that "it was part OF commercial msraii-
ty," whereupon the Chairman of the Bench
added that it was very common thing.
Which goes to show that cheating CUSTOM
ers and poisoning employees is one of the
time honored traditions Of the business which
it would he eminently undesirable to inter
fere with.
So much for old England. The laboring
men Of the United States are protected by
law, and by public sentiment, which is
stronger than law.

PEOPLE WHO WHINE.

There is a class Of persons in this world,
by no mears small, whose prominent peculi-
arity is whining. They whine because they
are poor, or if rich, because they have no
health to enjoy their riches; they whine be-
cause they "have no luck" and others
prosperity exceeds theirs; they whine be-
cause some friends have died and they are
still living; they whine because they have
aches and pains, and they have aches and
pains because they whine; and they whine,
no one can tell why. Nov, word to these
whining persons. First, stop whining it is
of no use complaining, fretting, fault-6nd-
ing and whining. Why, you are the most
deludei set Of creatures that ever lived. Do
You know that is a well settled;principle Of
physiology and common sense thai these
habits are more exhausting to nervous vital.
ity than almost any other violation of physi-
illogical law And do you know that life i.
pretty much as you make it? you can
make it bright and sunshiny, or you can
make it dark and shadowy. Then stop
whining and fretting, and go on your WY
rejoicing

In another column will be found an arti-
Gle from the Topeka Commonwealth giving
an account of the proof of the corruption Of
Gen. j. G. Blunt. Biunt's downfall COM
n.enced during the war, and the evidence is
now coming TO light. He vent into the ser
vice poor and came out rich, and all the
time spent money freely. We have not the
least doubt that every dollar OF his wealth
was stolen, either from the Government di
rect. or from the people among whom his
command marched or was quartered. And
there were numbers of others with him rs
guilty as he, if not as fully successful, who
are to-day living in the possession Of their
iil-geiten gains, but upon whose sonis rests
the crime of robbery and plumber They
are ENJOYING the fruits of gigantic steals, re:
side in costly houses, and claim the respect
of their fellow citizens If justice is ever
melted out to them in this world, they will
be like Gen. Jas. G. Blunt, condemned to a
felonis fate. Col. VIM. A. Phillips was IN
command in our district when the stealing
was done by these thieves, and being too
honest and pure to aid them or
permit their nefarious act, he was put
under arrest by his superior ofiicers, on some
trumped-up plea for the occasion, until the
stealing was perpetrated, when he was lilo
Grated and permitted to retain his com
mand until another steal was contemplated,
when the same thing was done again. 1t is
exactly right that Blunt should be punished,
but il is not right that the Others, as guilty
as he, should escape Justice and be nabobs
in society.-Oskatoosa Independent.
The IndeDeaden, is right. All the guilty
ones should be punished. The Republican
party must unload itself Of all this class, Oh
it will receive, as it will deserve, the con
demna,ion of the people. Ex-Quartermas
ters, Commissioners. Paymasters. l. S. Mar
shals and Government contractors must ge
ont Of the way.

great falling of in the Republican majority

The opinion expressed in the above arti-
Gle seems to be very general The TINES
never believed that Osborn was strong
man for the position, but he was nominated,
and The TINES supported him because he
was, unquestionably, better man than
Cusey, and because We had fought his cleo
ton two years ago, when the voters decided

TINES, have been ordered. It's proposed to
make TIE TINES newspaper establishment
tbs very best in the West.
ruE TINES has during the past few years,
been very practical in its management, and
as consequence its business is placed upon
sound basis. No newspaper west oil Chicago
Ut St. Louis, has to-day larger or better
pairing line of advertisements. While there
i. hardly a paper in the Missouri Valley
that is paying expenses, THE TINf' can
boast OF having, under its presehi manage
men, made handsome percentage upon
the capital inve-ted; greater in fact than
sny paper in the State.
While The TINES coniemplatss many
important and valuable improvements, yet
it is pr posed to lie entirely practicable,
making a good paper and placing the price
a. s. per annum for the daily, and 81 per
snnum for the weekly, postage prepaid to
mail subscriber
A, these prices, We think The TnfEs
ought, within the next twelve months, largely
increase its present circulation.
We have the qualification Of announcing
that to day the circulation Of The DAILY
TINES is double that Of any other daily
paper published in this city, and The
WEEKLY TINES has circulation nearly
ten times greater than that Of any other
paper published in Leayenworth.
THE TINES respectfully requests the citi-
gems of Kansas and the West to extend TO it
that liberal patronage which an enterprise
OF lis character demands.

WE ARE FOB FERNANDO 6

With large majority in the House OF
Representative, the Democrats will have the
selection Of Speaker. Two candidates are
prominently mentioned for that command
ing position. One is Gen. Banks, Of Massa-
chusetts who, as Republican Speaker sew
eral years ago, achieved quite reputation,
while the other is Governor Walker, Of Viz
ginia, not so well known to the country, but
having:the advantage of being straight
Democrat. 1t is not probable that the
Democratic majority, under existing circum-
stances will choose any but an uncompro-
missing Democrat. Fernando Wood was the
choice Of the Democratic caucus of the Last
Hou.c, and we doubt if he permits the present
opportunity to pass unimproved. Mr.. Blaine
will, of course, have to take . sea. on the
Aoos of the House, where, as one Of the
ablest speakers and most accomplished par
lialaentarians Of Congress, he will not fail to
distinguish himself as he hD in the past.

The trial of Senator Pomeroy is set for
this term Of the Court in Usage county. TIE
TtxIs has stated again and again, and We
now reite.ate, that Samuel c. Pomeroy will
never be tried in Kansas for the crime oil
bribery in that noted Senatorial contest. The
reasons are obvious. The ex-senator Is in
possession of facts rejecting upon prominent
politicians in Kansas, and they dare not
press him to the wall for'fear OF exposure.
II, Ly chance, the mockery Of trial is had,
it will be but the repetition Of one or two
;mportant cases which our courts have here
tofore disposed Of.
We look with great interest to the course
the District Attorney ard Judge will pursue.
Gentlemen, if you don't mean business, end
the farce ut once.
