If Mr. Pierrepont is not inspired by desire
to impair the efficiency of the means at the
command of the st. Louis District Attorney
for the prosecution of the Babcock case, he
is certainly most unfortunate in his choice OF
time for issuing manifesto specifically and
confessedly designed to warn members of the
whisky ring against any hope or expectation
of clemency on account Of confessions or dis
closures they may make. The effect of this
ill-considered, ill-timed. and, to all appear
ances, wholly uncalled for proclamation, has
already been to seriously embarrass the pros
ecution in st. Louis. Before the appearance
of Mr.. Pierrepont's declaration, the convicts
We're cheerfully furnishing important assist
ance to the District Attorney in the collection
OF evidence; but that document has operated
like q wet blanket and a lockjaw on the pos
SCISSORS of valuable information, who can see
no profit in telling what they know merely
for the sake Of betraying former friends. Mr..
Perrepont has proved himself to be med
dlesome and indiscreet busybody, if nothing
else.-C Chicago Times.

A FOREIGN CRITIC ON Our TROUBLES WITH
CuBA.-It is quite possible that the great ex-
ertions recently made by Mr.. Robson, Sec
rotary to the American Navy, to increase the
iron. clad feet and orders to make the home
Squadron the strongest quadron in the Ameri-
can service, are dictated by distrust Of Spain,
In England we scarcely think Of Spain as a
power, but in the West Indies experienced
English officers believe that the Spanish feet
employed to protect Cuba is stronger than the
American, and might, if war broke ont, do
definite damage not only to commerce, but to
the seaboard cities.
The Spaniards would strike hard, and have
not those reasons for being reluctant to burn
down New York or Boston.which should infiu-
ence Great Britain. They shell their own
cities without mercy. One object Of Gen.
Jovellar's mission is said to b. to put Cuba
in state Of defense against sea-borne enc
my, and the Americans, who understand
Spanish pride-slmost the whole Of their dis
agreeable foreign relations being with Spani-
ards or Spanish half-castes-may think it
right to be prepared against coup-de-main.
Ultimate victory is not the point, but imme.
diate safety.-London Spectator.

An English banker wrote, January 18th
"The great financial houses which now domi-
nate the city Of London, and bring forth at
well chosen periods what is most suitable to
the vitiated palate Of the public, have not, as
rule, English interests at heart; cosmopolitan
Jews or Greeks and wide-awake Germans are
prominent in these great operations which
dazzle and bewilder US"

BEARS IN THE ADIRONDACK REGIONS
The Troy Press says: "A gentleman from
North Greek, Warren county, in speaking OF
the mild winter we have had so far, related
as something very remarkable the appear
ance OF black bears in the villages In his
eighoorhood. He says that four bears ap-
peared In one day In North Creek In broad
daylight, that their presence had been dis
covered by their visits in the night time by
the loss OF sheep and hogs, but bruin nai not
been bold enough to come in the daytime.
On Sunday, about three weeks since, a large
black bear entered the church at North
Creek, just after the minister had com
menced his sermon, and walked leisurely up
the passage-way until he reached nearly the
middle of the church. The women Jumped
up on the top OF the seats and scIeamsd at
The height of their voices; all was confusion,
ana the services came 10 a stand-still. Bruin
raised himself up on his launches and calm
ly and In his native majesty surveyed the
scene with a look as much as to say What is
all this hubbub about and seeming salts
lied with his scrutiny deliberately walked
out. Several men followed him out, aud
lively scrimmage was INDUCED in, but the
bear got away. A remarkable thing is no.
ticed by the Inhabitants OF the Adirondack
region, namely, that the bears are very bold
and stay close TO the villages, aud the deer
all push back further into the wilderness
than ever before known"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1876-01-17

A WORD FOR BRIDGEr-The plain truth
OF the matter is that the whole native popu.
lation OF the United States has almost sud
denly and with one accord refused TO per-
form for hire any of the services usually
called "menial' or indoor. The men have
found other more productive fields OF indus
try, and the women, under the influence OF
the prevailing theory of life, have resolved
TO accept any employment at any wages
sooner than do other peoples homework
The result has been demand for trained ser
wants which the whole European continent
could not supply il it would, and which has
proved so intense that ii has drawn the
peasantry out of the fields en- masse from the
one European country in which the peasan-
try was sufficiently poor TO be tempted, aud
spoke or understood the American Language.
No such phenomenon has ever been wit
messed before. No country before has ever
refused to do its own chores" aud called in
an army OF foreigners for the purpose. To
complain bitterly OF their want OF skill is,
therefore, under the circumstances, almost
puerile, from an economical point of view;
while, 10 any one who looks at the matter as
moralist, il is hard TO see why Bridget, do
ing the work badly In the kitchen, is any
more contemplate object than the Ameri-
can sewing girl killing herself in a garnet a.
So week, out OF devotion to the ''prisciple
OF equality."-Ndtioa.
