There is a prospect that the cattle raid
ing business across the Rio Grande may be
checked, as the authorities of Mexico seem
to think the time has come for moving IN
the matter of suppression. Instructions
have been sent and received by Minister
Foster at Mexico, to the effect that Gen.
Ord would follow the marauders upon
Mexican territory, which has been commu-
nicated to President Diaz. This infOrma-
ton was received in friendly way, and
Minister Foster requested to inform his
government that military force would be
sent to the RIO Grande under command of
an experienced and discreet officer, with
instructions to cooperate with Gen. Ord in
the suppression of this marauding business
on both sides of the border. President
Hayes is said to be well pleased with the
spirit manifested by Diaz, and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that both governments will
agree upon a joint plan for preventing the
border raids.

A terrible confagration broke out in St.
John. n. B.. on Wednesday afternoon, ana
at the time of the associated press telegram,
more than half the city had been DESTROYED
embracing all the public buildings o. rnles
principal hotels. all the newspaper oilce''

b.nI-s and churches, and most OF the best

- destruction was still progressing. The
80 devastated is estimated at nearly 200
ooros The loss IS estimated from $40, ,000,
600 to $15, 900, 600. Thousands of people
are homeless-in destitution and despair.
The Molly Maguires at Pottsville and
Maueh Chunk haye at length brought Of
Tended Justice down on their heads, and
six of the leaders are to pay the penalties
of their crimes upon the gallOws, at Potts
vile and four at Mauch Chunk, on Thurs
day of the present week. Their applica-
tions for lenity have been denied by the
Board of Pardons and there seems to be no
alternative but to submit to the demands of
a violated law. The execution will be
fearful but needed warning to the outlaws
of the mining region. Some demOnstra-
tions have been made toward a rescue, but
they are strongly guarded.

The Murphy movement which has swept
the southern tier of counties in the State
like whirlwind, is being inaugurated IN
this city. The temperance bodies under
the skiIlful leadership of young Tying, and
Others equally jealous, have perfected
consolidation, and will make movement
along the whole line. Licenses have been
granted as freely as ever, for the provision
in the excise law which prohibited licenses
to all except innkeepers, who kept three
beds for the accommodation of the public,
was very easily evaded. The rum mills
each put up three hunks in their rear
rooms, and unblushingly swore that they
were innkeepers, and got their licenses.
The hunks were found convenient as they
could be used to lay out the more respec-
table of their customers when they got too
heavy cargo on. Practically there Is no
regulation or check upon rum-selling IN
this city-it is all free as air. Everybody
sells who chooses, and sells whenever he
chooses, Sundays and weekdays, it is all
one. The temperance bodies are deter
mined 10 put some impediment in their
way and to do it now. They intend to
hold a series of monster meetings, awaken
the public conscience, and then to COM
mence legal proceedings vigorously. They
will organize in every ward, have vigilance
committees, the best counsel to take the
cases through the courts, and at the meet
mgs they expect to make it warm for pub
lie men who stand in the way of the reform.
They intend to shut up great many who
cannot stand the expense Of repeated pros
ecutions-accomplish a great deal of
good thereby, as these are the small buck
et-shops that furnish the very poor, with
the vilest rum-and they intend as well to
regulate the traffic among those who are
too strong to be squelched, compelling
them to at least keep it within the bounds
of decency. All good citizens are expected
to join in the movement, and by sheer
force of public opinion make it a success.
1t will amount to something this time, for
it is being gone about in the proper way.
FINANCIAL TROUBLES.
Another banker, this time a German
named Gerndt, has abseonded, leaving his
depositors with nothing. He wasn't
great thief, only $685. was taken by
him, but when it is considered that this
money was the all of thousand poor la
borers, widows and girls, who had put each |
their little pittance where it was supposed
to be safe, that they might have it to pay
rent and for food against the day when |
there could be no work procured; the ex-
tent of the disaster may be comprehended.
When it became known that he had alb
seconded, about a thousand people whose
deposits ran from 81 to $25, were at the
bank, the men cursing, and the women
weeping. The treasurer Of the French
Benevolent Society ran away with all their
funds, $50, and one or two Life Insur-
ince companies are in the throes of disso-
ution. Take it all in all it is as unhealthy
financially as it is in other respects.

The New Louisiana senator.

Mr. Henry Martyr Spofford, the new
claimant of q seat in the Senate from
Louisiana, is said to be ffty-four years
old, but he must be somewhat older, since
he graduated at Amherst in 1910. He is
native of Chilmark, Martha's Vineyard,
and is brother of the librarian of Con
gress. He has lived in Louisiana for
about thirty years, practicing law most of
the time except when he was judge of q
State court, and was formerly partner of
Judge Campbell, who left the bench OF
the United States Supreme Court to go
with his State into rebellion. Mr.. Spot
ford was also q rebel, and we can not help
thinking that some defect in his moral
nature is suggested by the fact that be,
born and educated in Massachusetts,, was
at the opening of the rebellion an intimate
personal friend and close political ally of
Pierre Soule and Judah p. Benjamin. He
is said to be man of much ability and
excellent literary culture, and he declares
that he is willing to support the admins
tration SO far as he understands its policy.
That is all very well SO far as it goes, but
if we were to choose between two men,
one of whom upheld the institution of
slavery because he was born O STAKEHOLDER
and reared under the influences of that
system, and the other, after living to ma
turity in Massachusetts, became an ardent
pro-slavery man and secessionist from in
terest or conviction, we should choose the
former as much more likely to deserve
respect and confidence Mr.. Spofford
may or may not be better man than
Kellogg or Packard; the fact that he has
been in Louisiana longer is not prina fdcie
evidence of it Worcester Spy.

A well-to-do widow living in the north

winter depended solely upon the sun to
clear her walks of snow, and boys with
snow shovels and policemen with notices
have failed to alter her programme. Yes
terday morning after the big storm there
was drift foot deep in front of her
house. and boy with innocent blue eyes
and flaxen hair rang the bell and brought
her down the hall at trot.
"Does the Widder - live here?" he
asked, as she opened the door.
She said she was the person named, and
he continued:
''You've been awful good to us poor
folks this winter, and I run over from

''Yesm. He's got big gold watch
and diamonds and plug hat and gold
headed cane and I heard him ask the
clerk if you were married yet"
''He did2"
''Yes'm; and when the clerk told him
no, he asked for the number of your house
and heard him say something about old

''Who can it be-who can it be?" she
mused.
''Hain't the least idea. He doesn't look
as if he was used to wsding through the
snow, and / thought ia slip over and clean
up your walks.
''Yes-ah--of course-wait minute
bub."
She ran and got a silver quarter, patted
him on the head and went in 70 get on her
best clothes. She didn't see the boy any
more. and at five o'clock in the afternoon
she was still looking over toward Wood
ward avenue, her optics having tired ex-
preston and her nose weary pose. Boys

Caleb Cushing's opinion as to the eff
fects of the war in this country Is sub
stantially, in his own language, that the
war must result in great good to our
country. There is, however, no necessity
for the large advance on -four; that is
speculative If the fight should be con-
fined to Russia and Turkey, the demand
for our breadstuffs will even then be
heavy, for the Russians will not allow
their cereals to be exported while they are
at war. Besides, the producing classes
will have to join the army. 1t threatens
to be great war if England gets into it
Then will come our opportunity to recup-
crate our commerce. We will have to
provide some way by which, we can
gather in the English commercial marine
under our flag. 1t is destined to be
Americas chance, and we must avail our
selves of it. Russia and Turkey were
never better prepared for large struggle
so far as men, arms and provisions are
concerned Chicago Tribune.
