According to accounts, hotel proprietors

sell whiskey or rum to . man who brings
his wife to town in wagon, Mrs. Ophelia
Snow having recovered $4,000 damages
from the owners Of hotel where her hus-
band slowed away SO much liquor as TO
render him incapable Of handling his
horses, when they ran off and pitched the
good lady out into the road, causing severe
injuries. OF course Mr.. Snow was not
hurt-he was too limp for that-but Mrs.
Snow determined she would have some
thing more healing for ber injured limbs
and feelings than doctors salves and ban
dages, and . jury agreed with her; and the

General Pearson, who commanded the
troops during the late riots in Pittsburg,
has been bound over to answer the charge
of murder in connection with firing upon
the mob. The evidence was positive that
an order to fire was given, but the wit
nesses were not positive that the order
came from General Pearson. This will be
an impotant trial, and should settle in .
definite manner the true status Of military
men when called out to support the civil
authorities. If they are to be held respon'
sible for the performance Of clear duty
here will be a good many res'gnations in
the State Of Pennsylvania. On the other
hand, officers, when they are in command,
should not hesitate to do their whole duty,
and avow the fact in an open manner.

Of the last fifteen or twenty years are not
in accord with this complimentary verdict.
Twenty years ago England hated nothing

then with the Northern abolitionists and
against the planters. But four years later
the planters revolted against the General
Government because they could not elect a
President favorable to the extension of sla-

Of the governing class in England rushed

HONE9TY AND 1RAMPS.

Amonument is being erected in Schoha-
rie county, N. Y, to record the virtues and
exalted patriotism Of David Williams. one
of the three men who arrested Major
Andre in the year 1880 as he was going to
New York with papers from General Ben
edict Arnold to General Clinton, who was
then in command Of the British forces.
From that day to- this, Williams, Paulding
and Van Wart have had the credit Of act
ing solely from lofty motives; they spurned
the offers of money which were made to
them BY Major Andre to permit him to es-
cape; they loved their country more than
gold; and yet there are stories told about
them which place their action in an en-
tirsly different light from this. 1t may be
true that our historians have not dealt
Justly with them, and that, like many
other monuments which tell the glories Of
dead men, the monument which stands to
their memory at Tarrytown, and the one
which is rising in Schoharie to David
Williams, do not adhere strictly to the
truth. The word. tramp" has but lately
come into use in America, but old men
who live in Schoharie county and know
"Dave Williams by tradition say that he
At least of the three famous patriots was,
ia effect neither more nor less than a
tramp, and the story runs that his two
companions in arms were as bad as he.
This is very sad to think Of, and if it be
true We will not be inclined to think bet
ter of tramps therefor, any more than our
appreciation of the moral and intellectual
condition Of geese is heightened by the re-
membrance that once by their cackling
hey saved the lofty city Of Rome.
This new story Of an ancient deed is that
a. Paulding, Williams and Van Wart
were one day sitting under tree near
Tarrytown, enjoying game at cards, they
saw well-dressed gentleman riding along
the road, and were struck with the happy
thought that, as the place was lonely, it
would be profitable to rob the SOLITARY
horseman. They at once unhorsed him,
took him into the woods and proceeded to
plundsr him. In his stockings they found,
not the desired money, but important pa
pers, which they saw it would be to their
advantage to transmit to the Government.
They did not, as they should have done,
taken their prisoner at once to superior
officer as one who had failed to give sat
isfactory account of himself, it was only
when they discovered that his watch and
the money about him were Of less value
than their living prize would be should
they turn him over to the.authorities that
they became patriotic. According to this
account they were therefore mere freeboot-
err. Their inestimable services to theil
county had their source, SO far as theil
authors are concerned, in sheer rascality
Good came from the evil, it is true; bu

such as to entitle them to monuments AM

WASHINGTON NOTES.

e More than 1000 applications for consulships
are on file in Washington, and there is but a
single vacancy.
The Attorney General reiterates his decision
that the departments are by law forbidden to
pay for advertising more than the rate of 40
cents per 100 words for the first insertion. and
20 cents for each subsequent insertion. This is
equivalent to about cents per line.
Statistics collected by the Government Bu-
reau in Washington show that eighty-seven
per cent. Of the grain shipped from the West
to the seaboard last year was transported by
railroad.
John M. Langston, the colored lawyer, has
accepted the Hayti mission.
Gen. Mcdowell teiegraphs the War Depart
ment at Washington that the situation in Idaho
is growing serious. Chief Joseph's band had
received large accessions, and it was feared
many other reservation Indians would join him.
Gen. Mcdowell has sent forward every soldier
he could scrape up west of Arizona and yet the
force opposed TO the savages was too small to
think of taking the offensive with any hope of
success. At the earnest request of Gen. Nc
Dowell the War Department has authorized the

Distress i'm COnstantinopIe.

The Cologne Gazette publishes ex-
tracts from the diaryof awoman in Con
stantinople relating to affairs in that
city. It is scarcely possible, she says, to
conceive the distress that prevails among
the Mohammedan population or the pa
triotism with which it is borne. ALI the
able bodied men are sent away to serve
as soldiers without pay, and their wives
have to support themselves and their
families on 2 piasters day, which is the
current rate of womens wages, while
the price of bread is now four piasters
for three pounds. Many families used
to live on the dividends of Turkish
stock. These families are entirely
ruined, and others, though not absolutely
destitute, have suffered immense losses.
There are in Constantinople Is, 900
officials, most of them with families, and
they have not received any pay since the
beginning of the war, not even in paper
money, on which there is a loss of 80

States for the Past Year.
J.. nut

States for the Past Year.
From the Chicago Tribune.1
In 1876 Congress directed that there
shall be an annual statistical report
made to Congress of information relative
to the internal commerce of the country.
Mr.. Joseph Nimms, Jr., Chief Clerk of
the Internal Commerce Division of the
Treasury, has just completed his first
report under this law, from which we
gather the following particulars
Estimated value of shipping engaged

Value of imports and exports 131, 634 277
Estimated value Of commodities

One chapter Of the report embraces, so
far as was practicable, statement Of
freight which crossed the Mississippi
river between St. Paul and ST. Louis
over railroads and bridges, and which
passed down that river. Thirteen
bridges have been constructed by rail-
road companies between Winona and St.
Louis, at an aggregate cost of 800, 1885,
| 900. The trade of Minnesota is mostly
with the East. A few articles reach
there from New Orleans and st. Louis,
but even the sugar and molasses re-
ceived from these cities is so small COM
pared with the imports of the same
goods from the East that it is difficult to
estimate it. The trade with St. Louis is
still mainly by the river, and is daily
growing less in proportion. The di-
rection of the trade of Iowa is thus re-
ported: #s
The business of all north and south roads
in Iowais practically east-bound business. The
north and south roads carry their traffic to the
main east aud west trunk lines and over them
it goes to Chicago. There is practically no
south-bound business. Nearly all the traffic of
the Keokuk and Des Moines railroad, striking
the Mississippi river at Keokuk at the foot Of
the lower rapids, goes to Chicago. 1t is safe
to calculate that 95 per cent. of the business of
Iowa goes to Chicago and Milwaukee.
The whole tonnage received at st.
Louis g from the north" was only 413.-
O88 tons, of which 60, 1893 tons were re-
ceived by the Rockford, Rock Island and
st. Louis railroad, 153, 995 tons by the
Illinois river, and 1913, 100 tons by the
Mississippi river. OF the wheat shipped
from Minnesota in 1875 only l per cent.
went south Of Iowa, and SO per cent.
went east by rail. The following shows
the tonnage crossing the Mississippi
river bridges in 1875:
